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

"I'm so unlucky. I'm with a man who's useless. He can't feed and clothe me and my children. Now he wants to divorce me over such a small thing. I'd rather die."

Aunt Ling's unreasonable behavior made Ling's mother laugh in anger. "Sister-in-law, if you cry like this, you can make a bigger commotion and wake up the whole village so they can come and see our family's shameful affair."

Aunt Ling stopped crying. Not only did she love to take advantage of others, but she was also very concerned about her reputation. Now that they were all family, as long as no one else told anyone, everything would be fine.

This is also a scandal for their lineage.

"But I really didn't expect him to hit me. Is it really necessary to do something like this? I just took some things. You made so many, but didn't sell any. At worst, I won't do this again."

"Besides, we're all brothers, having family dinners together. Now that this is happening, are you just going to watch me and my child's father get a divorce?"

Aunt Ling was sobbing uncontrollably, and Ling's mother didn't know what to say. This third sister-in-law had always been like this; whenever she was in the wrong, she would start to make trouble.

Du Mingxian realized that this Aunt Ling was not someone to be trifled with.

"Third Aunt, don't cry."

“Alas, Third Aunt doesn’t want to cry either. Fourth Brother’s wife, you don’t know how bitter Third Aunt is. If we weren’t struggling to make ends meet, why would Third Aunt do such a thing? If word got out, wouldn’t people laugh at us? We really can’t go on like this.”

Seeing that she still wanted to keep complaining, Du Mingxian said, "Third Aunt, I didn't mean to... comfort you."

The crying stopped abruptly. Aunt Ling seemed not to have heard what she said clearly. "What did you just say?"

"I said I didn't comfort you."

"then you……"

"I have a few questions for you."

"There's nothing I can tell you, so you'd better not ask."

Du Mingxian smiled and coaxed, "If you answer me, I can make sure your family doesn't pursue what happened tonight, how about it?"

"Okay, you ask."

"The workshop is guarded by special personnel, so it's not surprising that you know the location of the warehouse. But how did you get the key to the main gate and the warehouse? And your daughter-in-law has sleeping incense. Sleeping incense is something that ordinary people can't get their hands on, right?"

Aunt Ling was dumbfounded. She didn't know how to answer. "I...I really don't know what key it is. I went in quietly. The door wasn't locked."

"This door has several locks, how could no one have locked it?"

"Really not..."

"Third Aunt," Du Mingxian interrupted her, "I hope you can tell me the truth. If you don't tell me properly, I can really treat you like a thief and take you directly to the yamen."

"I really don't know, that's how we got in."

“I saw it.” Du Mingxian added two words, fearing that Aunt Ling might not believe her, “I saw it with my own eyes.”

Aunt Ling's eyes kept darting around, as if she was thinking of what to say.

Father Ling spoke up, "If you answer all the questions that Fourth Brother's wife asked, I will not hold Third Brother's wife accountable for what happened tonight."

"Second brother, you still want to argue with me? Have you ever thought that things aren't as everyone thinks? I really just walked in. I really don't know anything about what Fourth Brother's wife said."

The others remained silent, even Uncle Ling looked at her with disappointment, which angered Aunt Ling.

"How could you do this? You're not from the workshop, what right do you have to interfere? And I don't know the answer to your question, I really don't know you..." Aunt Ling's voice stopped abruptly the moment Du Mingxian took a step forward and took out the sleeping incense from Aunt Ling's eldest daughter-in-law.

Du Mingxian examined the sleeping incense closely. "This kind of thing that can knock someone out with just a breath is something that ordinary people really can't buy."

Aunt Ling remained silent. Her eldest daughter-in-law, who was quite tall, looked like a quail and quietly shrank behind Aunt Ling, not raising her head or daring to breathe.

"Father, it's quite late tonight, and it's getting late. Why don't we all go back to sleep? I don't think Auntie wants to talk about it. We can take it to the authorities tomorrow, and let the authorities investigate the rest."

Aunt Ling jumped up and cursed, "You little slut, how could you do this? No matter what, I'm still your aunt. I want to send you to the authorities. Even if I stole, it was from Dalang's family. When did it become your place to speak?"

Just as Du Mingxian was about to speak, a tall figure stood in front of her. Ling Silang's calm voice carried a hint of oppression. It sounded harmless, but it made Aunt Ling not dare to utter a word.

“She is my wife, my legal wife. She can represent me. What she says is what I want to express.” Ling Silang never spoke harshly, but these words were enough for Aunt Ling to think twice.

Du Mingxian can represent Ling Silang, so when Du Mingxian said to send the person to the government office, it meant that it was Ling Silang's idea, which means that the matter is serious.

Ling Silang was a scholar, and despite his weak physique, he still held considerable influence within the clan.

Aunt Ling's previous arrogance vanished instantly. "I... I didn't mean that, it's just... no matter what, you can't send me to the government office, can you?"

"Then go back and think it over carefully. Was what you did for others or for yourself? For that little bit of money, it's no big deal that you're willing to sever ties with our family." Ling Silang's voice was deep.

"Fourth Brother." Uncle Ling called out hurriedly, then looked at Father Ling and called out with a hint of pleading, "Second Brother."

Ling's father still felt sorry for his younger brother. "Alright, that's enough for today. Everyone go home first. We can talk about it tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Ling's father glanced at his younger brother but didn't offer any further advice.

Ling Dalang stepped forward and said, "Third Uncle, although it was Third Aunt who did the work, you are all one. I also believe that Third Uncle can find out who is behind Third Aunt. If this matter really blows up, it will not be good for any of us."

When Aunt Ling saw that her husband's family was so firm in their attitude, she felt extremely wronged. Tears streamed down her face, and she cried harder and harder until she finally burst into loud sobs, just like someone who had lost their father.

Upon hearing this voice, Du Mingxian even wanted to sing a few lines: "Cry, cry, it's not a sin."

After everyone dispersed, Du Mingxian walked silently behind. Ling Silang waited for her, and when she approached, he reached out and took her hand in the darkness, holding it tightly as they slowly walked forward.

He said, "Finally, I don't have to stay up all night waiting anymore. My third aunt should tell me tomorrow. I don't need to worry about the rest. Let my eldest brother take care of it."

"Okay, I have no objection. I'm just worried that even if Auntie doesn't say anything, their actions are too familiar, and they have keys, so it's obvious that they were prepared in advance. I'm very curious, since we all have the keys, how did she get them?"
