The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

"I will not marry. If you want me to marry, you must arrange a marriage between us."

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's your sister's marriage. How can you switch it with her? It won't sound good if word gets out."

"I don't care, I just don't want to get married."

The noisy commotion outside woke the person in bed.

Du Mingxian turned her head and saw her mother sitting to the side, silently shedding tears. She was shocked and overjoyed, her voice trembling slightly, "Mother?"

"Mingxian, you're awake. Are you feeling better?"

Du Mingxian didn't speak, but just stared greedily at her mother. Wasn't her mother dead? Yes, she was dead too.

This is another dream about my past life. Can ghosts dream? It's so real it's unbelievable.

Seeing her lost in thought, Zhou carefully spoke up, "Your eldest sister absolutely refuses to marry into the Ling family and insists on a marriage exchange with you. She's making a scene right now."

It was too real. Du Mingxian reached out and pinched her arm hard. It hurt, it hurt a lot.

Not a dream.

I turned my head and glanced around the room. I heard a commotion outside. It all felt like a dream.

Du Mingxian raised her eyebrows slightly; it seemed that Du Mingwei had also been reborn.

However... he had already lived two lives, and had returned to this first life. He just didn't know how many lives Du Mingwei had lived.

In her past life, she didn't fall into the water, but in this life, her cousin Du Mingwei pushed her into the water, which is likely to kill her.

Since she didn't die, Du Mingyue's wishful thinking failed, which is why she brought the marriage exchange to the public.

"Sigh, I don't know what's wrong with this child. She pushed you into the water, and now she insists on swapping marriages with you. No one can persuade her otherwise. Your grandmother always spoils her. If she keeps making a fuss like this, she'll definitely give in to her."

The commotion was still going on in the main room, and everyone was trying to persuade her, but Du Mingwei absolutely refused.

With Chen's help, Du Mingxian entered the main room. "Since eldest sister wants to change, I have no objection. It just depends on whether the Ling family and the Wu family are willing to change."

When everyone saw her come in and heard her agree, they all silently breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandma Du was the first to jump out, "Why wouldn't she be willing? Our Mingwei is a lucky girl, the Wu family would probably love her more. The difficult one to deal with is the Ling family, the Ling family..."

Du Mingwei stepped forward and said, "What's the big deal? The Ling family's wedding party is coming over anyway. The bride is wearing a veil, so we can just let Du Mingxian get into the bridal sedan chair."

Old Du looked at his two granddaughters, hesitated for a moment, and then asked again, "Mingwei, Mingxian, have you both thought it through?"

Du Mingwei looked confident and said, "Master, I've made up my mind. I definitely won't marry that sickly Ling Silang."

That's a living hell; I would never marry into that family, no matter what.

In my past life, as soon as I got married, my mother-in-law made us live separately on our wedding night and wouldn't let us consummate our marriage. We had endless chores to do every day and were constantly harassed by my mother-in-law and sisters-in-law.

The most infuriating thing is Ling Silang, who was a bookworm who made him stupid. He listened to his mother in everything. So what if he passed the imperial examination and became a scholar? He died young and was never destined to be an official.

The Ling family is no good either. Even after Ling Silang died, they still refused to let her remarry, insisting that she live a life of widowhood. In the end, all she saw was Du Mingxian living a life of glory and honor.

The couple lived in harmony, had both a son and a daughter, and all the brothers-in-law held positions of power in officialdom. Even the sister-in-law married into a wealthy family. How could anyone not be envious?

Since God has given her a second chance at life, everything Du Mingxian has in this life will be hers.

"I'll follow my family's arrangements," Du Mingxian replied softly.

Because the Du family wanted to arrange a marriage exchange but couldn't inform them in advance, Old Man Du came up with an idea: "Second son, go to the Wu family and discuss with them that within a hundred days, no two women from the same family can be married off one after the other. See if they can change the date so that the Wu and Ling families can get married together, and both families can come to pick up the brides together."

Grandma Du suddenly had a bright idea. "That works! Both families can come to pick them up together. We can make the wedding dresses and everything the same and secretly switch them out. Once they're married, even if there's a mistake, we can't switch them back."

"Yep."

The family began to discuss some details. Du Mingxian was helped back to the house. Chen felt sorry for her daughter and said, "Are you really willing to make the switch? Although the Ling family is a family of scholars, that Ling Silang is in poor health."

"Mom, it's alright, it doesn't matter who you marry."

Du Mingwei thought the Wu family was a good place to go? That's a den of wolves.

There were no parents-in-law in the Wu family; the eldest sister-in-law was the first person to enter the family. The eldest sister-in-law was like a mother to her, and there were a whole bunch of younger brothers and sisters below her, none of whom were easy to deal with. In her previous life, she had to use a lot of tricks to keep those people in line.

Having been given a second chance at life, even if Du Mingwei doesn't change her mind, she will find another way to annul the engagement. If she really can't annul it, she will find another way; losing her husband wouldn't be bad either.

But if Du Mingwei pushes herself into the water, then so be it.

After the Du family had discussed their plan, Du Youliang and Du Youtian immediately went to the Wu family to discuss it. Since there were no elders in the Wu family, Wu Daniu was in charge of making decisions. When he heard that his father-in-law wanted to change the date, and to an earlier date, he had no objections.

The Du family did not notify the Ling family.

The day before her wedding, the Du family started making trouble again, this time targeting Du Mingxian.

"Since you're not going to tell the Ling family, then naturally you should take all the betrothal gifts they gave you back. If you want your eldest sister to take them to the Wu family, aren't you afraid the Ling family will come knocking on your door afterward?"

Du Mingwei dismissed it, "So what? The Ling family came knocking on our door, and Wu Daniu is a hunter, do you think they'd dare to fight us?"

“They dare not fight, but the hunters are only one family and have no relatives. Although the Ling family are scholars, not all of them are scholars. Among their relatives are many farmers who are strong and healthy. If a fight breaks out, it is not necessarily the case that anyone will suffer a loss.”

Du Mingwei was immediately stunned. She was the most qualified to speak on this matter. In her previous life, the Ling family members were very united, and they knew that the Du family was causing trouble behind the scenes, so they would definitely come over to cause trouble as soon as possible.

"If you don't want it, then don't. Do you think anyone cares?"

"It's best if you don't care." Du Mingxian said calmly and looked at Old Man Du. "Grandpa, since we're getting married on the same day, in addition to the betrothal gifts we each have to bring back, our dowries should also be the same, so that the family won't be biased."

Upon hearing this, Old Lady Du immediately scolded, "You're a jinx, what right do you have to talk about this? Whatever amount the family gives you is our way of showing our appreciation. Even if we don't give you anything, we have nothing to say."

"Of course my family doesn't have to give it to me." Du Mingxian remained calm as she looked at Old Lady Du. Old Lady Du was about to scold her when Old Man Du spoke up.

"Alright, you two will marry into the family, and each of you will receive two taels of silver. That's all the family can offer."

Du Mingxian knew that because of the Taoist's prophecy, Old Lady Du would definitely secretly give Du Mingwei things behind her back. She couldn't stop her, but she was determined to get what she was entitled to on the surface.
