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

"Go out, I want to rest for a while."

The maidservant left, and the concubine got up, went to her bedside to take down the hanging painting, behind which was a small hidden compartment. She opened the compartment and took out a box inside, which was full of silver.

Then she took out a lot of silver notes from her sleeve.

Du Mingxian understood somewhat. This concubine's relationship with Sun's father was probably still for that little bit of money. Just because the Sun family didn't lack money didn't mean that others didn't.

After thinking about what would happen after she left, he wrote a letter in his spatial storage and quietly returned to the yamen. When the magistrate went to the outhouse, he secretly placed the letter on his desk.

Soon, the county magistrate returned. Seeing the letter on the table, he hurriedly asked the servant if anyone had come in. The servant said he had been keeping watch and hadn't seen anyone.

The magistrate was clever. After sending someone out, he quietly opened the letter. Upon reading its contents, his brows furrowed tightly, as if he couldn't believe it.

Du Mingxian waited patiently until the adults finished dealing with their business. Only then did she pick up the letter and look at it again before finally heading home.

To watch the spectacle, she followed him. Soon, the magistrate sat down in the concubine's room. While the concubine went to take a bath, the magistrate found a hidden compartment, opened it, and saw what was inside.

He was first taken aback, then immediately took the box and left, telling his concubine that there was an urgent matter.

The magistrate returned to his office and immediately ordered the interrogation of one of the servants who had helped him. He quickly learned some things from him.

Sun's father and his concubine were quite clever; they played the game of keeping things under wraps. Their communication always involved relaying messages through the government office, then secretly meeting once inside the office, and finally going out to meet again.

Actually, they were very careful. They always relayed messages from the government office, and often they didn't dare to meet at the government office. They would meet at a teahouse instead.

However, this matter was too urgent, so they met at the yamen (government office) first.

The county magistrate spent the whole night interrogating the family because of the fire in their backyard. He learned some things and was genuinely angry about what Sun's father had done. He even had an impulse to kill him.

Du Mingxian saw it clearly, and only then did she go back to sleep.

After returning to the inn, I went straight to my private space to sleep. When I woke up, it was already afternoon. After having lunch, I went out to inquire about news.

The second son of the Sun family also got into trouble. He got carried away while gambling and, in front of everyone, took a knife and stabbed two people.

One died on the spot, and another is receiving treatment.

Upon hearing this news, Du Mingxian was completely dazed; she felt that something was amiss.

The Sun family used to be fine, so how come so many things happened as soon as she arrived in Nandi City? The Sun family was afraid that the illegitimate son would steal the limelight from the legitimate son, and they were also afraid that if the illegitimate son was too powerful, the legitimate son would not be able to inherit the family business, so they simply raised him to be useless.

Now that two legitimate sons have been ruined, the others who were raised to be useless, even if they wanted to save people, didn't have the ability. They could only worry helplessly.

However, there was another capable young woman who stepped forward. She first calmed the Sun family down, and then, after Sun's father fainted upon hearing that his second son had also been in trouble, she took charge of the family's affairs.

Despite having never managed affairs before, she seemed to have learned how to do so at a young age and managed household matters exceptionally well.

She also went to tell Sun's father that she would find a way to rescue the two brothers, and asked him not to worry.

The Sun family has collapsed, and there's no one available right now. So it's a good thing that a girl has stepped forward; it's better than complete chaos.

Miss Sun went to see the county magistrate first.

"Please investigate the matter concerning my two elder brothers thoroughly, sir. Although my elder brother used to frequent brothels, he was never too rude to the girls. The fact that he is suddenly involved in a murder case must be due to some misunderstanding."

Ever since the county magistrate learned that his most beloved concubine had an affair with Sun's father, he has been angry whenever he sees the Sun family. "What misunderstanding could there be? The door to the room was closed at the time, and only Sun Haoqiang was inside. Who else could it be but him?"

"Please investigate further, sir. We all feel it's definitely not my brother."

"Hmph, I will investigate myself."

Miss Sun didn't say anything about the magistrate's anger, but slowly mentioned, "There are plenty of women in this world. If one is gone, there's another. I don't know what my brother is so fixated on. He has so many women at home, yet he insists on going out to play."

The county magistrate understood immediately. He had previously looked down on Miss Sun, but now he was taking her seriously. "All the other children in your Sun family have been spoiled, but you haven't been spoiled at all."

"Whether something is crooked or not depends on one's heart. The reason I came here this time is actually to make a deal with you, sir."

"You said."

“I know the Sun family is in business and owes the court some taxes. I can decide to make up for these taxes, but… Your Excellency must promise me that you can punish the two of them, but you cannot kill them.”

The county magistrate asked casually, "What if he dies after he goes out?"

"That's all fate. He's just unlucky, so this is how it is. But it would be better if he could go back to the Sun family to recuperate for a few days before he dies. That would be better for the adults too."

"Is this all the benefit I get?"

"Yes, is there anything else you would like, sir?"

"Your Sun family has quite a few good things."

“My father gave a lot of good things to his concubines. The concubines have quite a lot of things. If you look carefully, sir, there is a way to find them.”

"Since you know about this, I've lost all face. Do you think I'll let you off?"

"Of course, the master is not that kind of person."
