Du Wanchun also felt something was wrong and asked her, "You said you were my third brother's concubine, do you have any evidence?" The woman lowered her head and started crying, "How can I have any evidence? After General Zhou took me in, he didn't care about me at all. He took the princess and left me alone in the military camp. I could only bring my child to find my mother." As she said that, she looked at Aunt Zhou, as if she saw a savior. This woman was very smart. Just a moment ago, she figured out who these people were. In fact, she was not Zhou Zhao's concubine. She was just a woman Zhou Zhao rescued casually in the military camp. Her name was Mengru. Princess Nanfeng saw that the woman was pitiful, so she kept her by her side as a maid. But this maidservant was not honest. She wanted to be the general's concubine, so she tried every means to seduce Zhou Zhao from time to time.

Zhou Zhao was a stubborn person. He only had his wife in his heart. He would not even look at other people.

Meng Ru tried several times but it was useless. Later, she directly drugged Zhou Zhao and prepared to make it a done deal.

Unfortunately, Zhou Zhao was in good health and had good luck. Not only did he not let her succeed, but he also let Princess Nanfeng know her true face.

Princess Nanfeng drove her out.

Later, she was living on the streets with nowhere to go. She heard that the Zhou family had many shops and a lot of money at home, so she wanted to extort some money.

"Child? What child?" Aunt Wang on the side asked in confusion.

Meng Ru lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "I already have his child in my belly."

"Really? Is it Zhao'er's child?" Aunt Wang asked excitedly.

Meng Ru nodded, "Who else could it be but him?"

Aunt Wang was stunned and quickly looked at Aunt Zhou, "Sister Zhou, if this is really Zhao'er's child, then it must be your Zhou family's child."

If an ordinary woman heard that she had her own grandson, she would definitely be excited to welcome her in.

However, Aunt Zhou pointed at her and said coldly: "You keep saying that it is my Zhao'er's concubine! And you say that you have my Zhao'er's child! Then show me the proof. If you can't, I will treat you as a beggar."

She saw through the woman's trick at a glance and wanted to drive her out with a stick.

Meng Ru listened, stunned for a moment, then sat on the ground and cried while shouting: "You Zhou family bullies people, ruins my reputation, and won't let me in!"

Her voice was so loud that it alarmed the nearby villagers, and many people came to watch the fun.

Some people said that this woman must have seen that the Zhou family had money, so she wanted to blackmail the money.

Some people also said that the Zhou family bullied this weak woman because they were rich and powerful.

All these words were heard by Aunt Zhou.

She wanted to curse a few more times, but was stopped by Du Wanchun.

Du Wanchun slowly stepped forward, helped the woman up, and said, "Girl, the journey is long and you are tired."

After that, he hurriedly called to Doctor Xu in the crowd, "Doctor Xu, you came at the right time. Please help me check this girl to see if she has a miscarriage."

Meng Ru was anxious when she heard that she wanted a doctor to take her pulse, "That won't work. Men and women are not allowed to touch each other. How can I let him take my pulse?"

Doctor Xu was also a smart man. When he heard the girl say this, he knew there must be something wrong, so he smiled and said, "Girl, don't worry, I will tell you through the gauze. The gauze will feel your pulse, and it won't touch you."

Meng Ru still didn't want to, "How can the pulse be felt accurately through the gauze?"

Auntie Zhou said sternly, "You are so unwilling to let the doctor feel your pulse, the baby in your belly may be a fake!"

She didn't dare to show weakness and imitated Meng Ru's appearance just now, and said loudly to the villagers, "Everyone, look, this girl keeps saying that she is pregnant with our Zhao'er's child, but she refuses to let us ask the doctor to feel her pulse. Maybe there is no child in her belly at all."

The villagers nodded one after another.

Meng Ru's face was pale, and she was in a hurry, holding her head directly and pretending to faint.

"Oh, this person fainted!" Auntie Wang said in shock.

Auntie Zhou saw the person lying on the ground and said coldly, "If she fainted, let her lie on the ground. Anyway, there are many snakes in the village now."

After that, regardless of the people around, she pulled Du Wanchun and Auntie Wang into the house and closed the door.

"This woman dares to blackmail us. Fortunately, Zhao'er will be back tomorrow. Let's see what she will say then." Aunt Zhou said angrily.

Mrs. Wu watched everything at the door and said earnestly: "Will this woman stay at the door forever?"

Mrs. Zhou said coldly

She snorted and said, "If she wants to keep denying it, let her keep denying it. I don't believe she is not afraid of the mosquitoes here."

Mrs. Wu nodded.

Du Wanchun looked up at the door.

Then she followed Mrs. Zhou into the house.

Not long after, the originally clear sky suddenly began to rain heavily.

The raindrops hit the eaves and branches.

Not long after, Mengru on the ground was soaked.

Mengru never thought that it would suddenly rain now. She curled up on the ground and shivered with cold.
