The water was too deep, and the water was too deep.

Du Wanchun began to struggle in the water, and after a while, she fell into a warm embrace.

She only heard someone talking on the river bank.

"Brother! Quick! Push my sister-in-law up."

Du Wanchun heard the voice, slightly opened her eyes and looked at the person who came, only to see Zhou Ruiyuan.

After Zhou Ruiyuan carried her to the shore, he pressed her chest and helped her breathe a few times.

Du Wanchun gradually came to her senses, helped Zhou Ruiyuan sit up and said, "What happened to me?"

Miss Han came to her side quickly, helped her and said, "Sister-in-law, you just accidentally fell into the river."

Du Wanchun looked towards the river and said, "No, someone pulled me into the river."

"Someone pulled you into the river?" Miss Han was shocked.

Zhou Ruiyuan also frowned.

Du Wanchun helped Zhou Ruiyuan stand up slowly and continued to look at the crowd, "Yes, it may be pedestrians passing by."

Zhou Ruiyuan and Miss Han looked at each other and showed surprise.

Zhou Ruiyuan helped Du Wanchun and said, "Miss Han and I were beside you just now, and we didn't find anyone pushing you. You suddenly fell into the river by yourself."

Du Wanchun raised her eyes, and her face was also unbelievable. She remembered that someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her in, why didn't Zhou Ruiyuan and Miss Han see it?

Could it be that there is something in this river?

She thought about it and slowly looked into the river.

However, the river was quiet and there was nothing.

Zhou Ruiyuan thought Du Wanchun was frightened, so he quickly found a carriage from the roadside to send her back.

After Du Wanchun changed her clothes, Zhou Feng sent a servant to bring ginger tea.

Du Wanchun took the ginger tea and drank it, "asked Zhou Feng, second brother, what is the name of the river where the lanterns are being set up in the capital today?"

Zhou Feng thought for a while and said, "It's called Lujiang River."

Du Wanchun then continued to ask, "Has anyone ever died in this river?"

Zhou Feng paused and replied, "Sister-in-law, why do you suddenly ask this?"

Du Wanchun put down the cup and smiled slowly, "When I went to set up the lanterns tonight, I heard passers-by say some rumors about hugging the river."

Zhou Feng thought for a while and said, "There is indeed a rumor about this river. I heard that the late emperor's concubine drowned in the river here."

"The late emperor's concubine?" Du Wanchun asked tentatively.

Zhou Feng nodded, "Yes, the late emperor had few concubines. After the queen, there was Concubine Duan. The one who drowned in the river was the biological mother of the third prince."

Du Wanchun suddenly realized and continued to ask, "How could this good concubine drown outside the palace?"

Zhou Feng whispered, "Back then, Concubine Liu had the opportunity to become a noble concubine because she gave birth to a prince. Maybe she offended something in the palace and was falsely accused of having private dealings with other men outside the palace, so she was drowned in the river."

"False accusations? How do you know she was falsely accused?" Du Wanchun asked seriously.

Zhou Feng said slowly, "Before my mother entered the palace, she had been with Concubine Liu. She didn't think she was a fickle person. Besides, the palace was full of intrigues, so this kind of thing was not uncommon."

Du Wanchun half believed and half doubted, thinking about the incident of falling into the river just now, and guessed a little in his heart.

Soon it was the next morning.

Many young ladies from official families came to Zhou Feng's shop for no reason.

However, these young ladies did not come to buy perfume, but to see Zhou Ruiyuan.

Although Zhou Ruiyuan changed his appearance, he still looked as handsome as before, so he attracted many girls.

Du Wanchun took care of these guests.

They didn't know that Du Wanchun was Zhou Ruiyuan's wife at first, and they treated her politely, but after knowing that she was Zhou Ruiyuan's wife, they all showed their unruly temper.

"She is just a peasant girl, how could she marry such a good family."

"Yes, it's a pity that this shopkeeper is so handsome."

"It would be great if I could give it to this shopkeeper Zhou."

"Our family is prominent. If you want to marry him, what does it matter even if he has a wife?"

.......

Miss Han, who was standing by, heard this and sneered, "Why don't you take a piss and look in the mirror! You are worthy of it!"

The young ladies from official families did not dare to oppose Miss Han, and they all shut up and left.

Du Wanchun saw their backs and narrowed her eyes.

There was a thunderclap, and the heavy rain fell directly on the heads of those people.

The young lady of the official family who was originally arrogant became a drowned chicken in a short while.

.

After the heavy rain, a woman came to the shop and asked Du Wanchun: "Excuse me, is this the Zhou family's incense shop?"

Du Wanchun nodded, "Yes."

The woman's face showed joy, "I came from Qingzhou Prefecture and want to send a letter to Du Wanchun of the Zhou family."
