Ling Silang remained remarkably calm. "It was probably just said in anger. Once she's thought it through, she'll still continue to help us. After all, she still cares a lot about that son."

"Alright, I'm going to go find out what's going on over there."

On the day Du Mingxian received the news, she wanted to inquire about it, but Du Mingwei came instead.

As she walked through the village and looked at the once-familiar place, Du Mingwei felt a sudden surge of hatred. But as she approached the Ling family's house, she discovered that the dilapidated courtyard was long gone, replaced by four imposing brick and tile houses.

Hearing about it is really different from seeing it with my own eyes.

Before she arrived, she had heard the Ling family say how wonderful things were, but now, she felt inexplicably sad. She had been a widow for many years and had lived a very difficult life, but in the end... she hadn't gotten anything good.

Even when she finally died, she was killed by the villagers. This hatred could never be erased.

When Du Mingwei arrived at the entrance of the Ling family's courtyard, she didn't know which one was Du Mingxian's house. Just as she was about to ask, she saw a person walking out of the courtyard on the right side of the middle. It was Ling Erlang.

I almost shouted "Second brother..."

Habits can be quite terrifying.

"Hello, I'd like to ask which family Du Mingxian lives in?"

Ling Erlang didn't recognize Du Mingwei, assuming she was just a friend of Du Mingxian or someone else, and casually pointed, "It's next door."

Because he was a man, he didn't feel comfortable asking questions. He was just curious and didn't go forward. Only after the other person went inside did he go into the house and tell Xiao Zhou that a woman had come and was looking at people strangely.

Xiao Zhou immediately went next door to inquire.

Du Mingxian was reading in her room when Du Mingwei came in. Granny Zhao was busy in the yard and asked when she saw the newcomer, "Who are you looking for?"

"I am Du Mingxian's cousin, and I've come to see her."

Granny Zhao immediately called out inside, "Madam, your cousin is here."

Ling's mother was also inside, making spring clothes for Du Mingxian. Hearing the noise, she glanced outside and saw Du Mingwei, who had almost entered the Ling family's gate. She didn't move, but just sat there staring.

Du Mingxian came out of the house, her expression indifferent. "Why are you here?"

"Mingxian, I came to see you about something."

"Come in." Du Mingxian invited the person to sit down in the main room.

Du Mingwei looked at the furnishings in the main room of the Ling family home and her eyes flashed with jealousy. She couldn't help but say, "Mingxian, you should really thank me for the life you have now."

Du Mingxian gave a mocking smile and didn't say anything more.

"Look, all of this was given to you by me back then. If I hadn't let you in, how could you have entered the Ling family? Look how well the Ling family is doing now."

"So, the Wu family should be doing better, otherwise why would my cousin be so unwilling to marry into the Ling family and insist on marrying into the Wu family instead?"

Du Mingwei was speechless, and a hint of unease flashed across her face. She would not tell Du Mingxian that she had been reborn, much less that the Wu family would prosper in the future and that Wu Daniu would become a general.

"I'm your older sister, it's only right that I let you live a good life."

Du Mingxian was too lazy to look at Du Mingwei's hypocritical face. "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"I heard that the Ling family has started a clan school. You can get the second son of Widow Chen to study here. As her cousin, I should be able to send two people over, right?"

"You're telling me this without even understanding what's going on here?"

"What could possibly be going on here?"

"Then go back and ask your second uncle, and you'll find out."

Seeing this, Du Mingwei knew there was something she didn't know. After hesitating again and again, she didn't ask anything more, and only said, "We're sisters, and I'd like to send someone over. Do you think this is okay?"

"Of course not." Without even thinking, they would definitely send Wu Erniu and Wu Sanniu over.

Wu Erniu is a ruthless man, and Wu Sanniu is a smiling tiger, but they have a lot more to their name than you think. Once you get entangled with them, it will be very difficult to shake them off.

In that lifetime, she was their sister-in-law, so naturally she knew about their situation.

“If you want your two younger brothers to go to school, then find a proper place to send them to school. Don’t think about sending them here to me.”

Du Mingwei suddenly became agitated, stood up and threw herself at Du Mingxian, saying, "How could you do this? We're sisters!"

Upon seeing her like this, Du Mingxian immediately stepped back, while Du Mingwei lay prone on the ground.

Du Mingxian immediately realized something was wrong; everything Du Mingwei did seemed strange.

Then she saw Du Mingwei clutching her stomach, crying in pain. "How could you do this? We're sisters! Even if you're angry and don't want to marry a sickly man, you can't take it out on me. This was the family's decision, and you agreed to it yourself."

When Du Mingxian saw blood slowly flowing from Du Mingwei's body, she immediately understood her intention: she had come to frame Du Mingwei.

"Granny Zhao, go and ask Second Brother to make a trip to town and fetch a doctor."

Du Mingwei, clutching her stomach, got up from the ground. "You, I don't need your fake kindness. You just can't stand to see me doing well. We're sisters. I came to see you, but you pushed me to the ground. Are you jealous that I'm pregnant with Brother Da Niu's child while you haven't even shared a room with him?"

Du Mingxian watched her self-directed performance with cold eyes, without saying a word.

Du Mingwei came here to make things difficult for Du Mingxian, so naturally she said the worst things. "I know the Ling family is doing well now and you're worried they'll divorce you, but don't worry, as long as you take good care of your husband, the Ling family won't do anything to you."

Ling's mother listened outside for a while. Seeing that Du Mingwei was trying to sow discord with her words, but Du Mingxian didn't say a word, she couldn't help but go into the house.

"Luckily my son didn't marry you. Look at you, always stirring up trouble. Any family that marries someone like you is really unlucky."

Du Mingwei still harbors a psychological shadow over Ling's mother. In her past life, Ling's mother had suppressed her too much, and even now, hearing Ling's mother's voice still makes her body tremble subconsciously.

"I told the truth."

“Whether you’re telling the truth or not, we can judge for ourselves. But it’s really not honorable for you to use such methods to slander others. Look at yourself, you’re pregnant and you still come over to others, and you even tried to pounce on my daughter-in-law. She dodged, and you fell down, and you still blamed her for everything.”

Ling's mother scoffed, "Anyone who didn't know better would think you were deliberately framing someone, trying to come to our house and get rid of the child in your belly."

When she was exposed, Du Mingwei's breathing became tight, and she didn't even dare to look Ling's mother in the eye. She could only keep repeating, "I didn't, I didn't."
