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

Du Mingxian really didn't know what to say about this kind of thinking. She used to be like that too, but after living in modern times for decades, her views on things naturally changed.

"I'll give you some money in exchange for doing me a small favor, okay?" Du Mingxian added after saying that, "I won't tell anyone about you stealing."

The maidservant pondered, "Is it really a trivial matter?"

"It's a small matter. You keep an eye on your master's favorite concubine. As soon as she leaves the manor, you run out and tell me. Then the money is yours, how about that?"

The little maid couldn't believe it was so simple. "Really?"

"Of course, would I lie to you?"

Seeing that Du Mingxian was telling the truth, the maid immediately agreed, "Okay, I'll send you the message right away, but you'd better make sure the money is right."

"Don't worry, it's definitely possible."

After agreeing to the terms, Du Mingxian gave the maid five taels of silver, and promised to give her another five taels once more accurate information was received.

After making the appointment, Du Mingxian and Ling Silang waited at the inn for two days before receiving the news that the concubine had asked the principal wife for permission to leave the mansion the next day.

Du Mingxian originally wanted to make the arrangements, but Ling Silang said, "Actually, we don't need to run around to handle this matter. It would be more convenient for the Wang family to do it. They have connections and resources in the city."

"If we want to get this done, we'll have to work on it carefully."

Du Mingxian was someone who listened to advice, "Okay, then I'll go find Wang Jin right now."

"Okay, I'll take a break."

After Du Mingxian left, Ling Silang lay on the bed feeling very uncomfortable. His head was spinning and his body was weak and powerless. He hadn't dared to show it too much when Du Mingxian was there. This was a condition he had experienced before, and he just needed a good night's sleep.

He actually had a plan, but it would be better for two people to implement it. Now that his health doesn't allow it, Mingxian is all alone, which is too worrying.

Du Mingxian went directly to the Wang family without presenting a visiting card, which would be impolite, but time was of the essence.

Upon hearing her name, the gatekeeper respectfully invited her in before going to announce her arrival.

The Wang family was a large and wealthy household, with an extremely large main hall. As soon as you sat down, maids brought you tea and pastries, and the etiquette was very strict.

A short while later, Wang's father arrived first. He was a very kind-looking middle-aged man who came in with a big smile on his face. "You must be Mingxian?"

"I am Du Mingxian, hello Mr. Wang."

Mr. Wang waved his hand, "No need to be so formal. I am Wang Qi's father. Wang Qi calls you 'sister,' so you can just call me 'uncle.'"

"uncle."

"Please have a seat. What brings you here today?"

Du Mingxian told the truth, "It's like this, the Sun family found out that we supplied Uncle's wine and sauce, so they sent someone to sabotage us. We found out about this and took some small revenge on the Sun family. However, the Sun family has the government behind them, and we... have something that is quite tricky to handle. We would like to ask you for help."

Mr. Wang sat up straight, looking very serious. “Tell me,” he said, “that as long as it’s something the Wang family can help with, we will definitely help you.”

"Here's the thing, we've found out that the magistrate's favorite concubine has some dealings with Master Sun. This concubine might see Master Sun again tomorrow. They're meeting in private. We want to make this a big deal, so that everyone knows about it."

The father was shocked and impressed. This city was his battlefield, and he never imagined that there were such things he didn't know.

That guy surnamed Sun is pretty bold; he dares to sleep with all the women in the county magistrate's office.

"Alright, I'll have someone take care of this. From what you've said, we've been in the city for some time now?"

"Yes, it's been more than ten days."

"Then stay here today and let me treat you to a good meal as a way of thanking you for taking care of Wang Qi."

"Actually, Wang Qi is alright. He's generally obedient and is currently leading a group of children in their studies."

Mr. Wang waved his hand, his words carrying a heavy burden. “You don’t understand. In the city, they’re always out walking chickens and fighting dogs. They’re never serious. We have to clean up their messes every day. It’s already a miracle that they’re behaving themselves in your house.”

Du Mingxian didn't know what to say. She couldn't very well say that Wang Qi was afraid that others would find out about her previous life as a beggar and that he was afraid of being laughed at, so he kept a low profile.

If Wang Qi knew that everyone else knew about his journey, I wonder what he would think.

“Uncle is very kind, but my husband has not been feeling well lately, so I will not stay any longer. After dealing with the Sun family’s affairs, we would like to go straight home. It will be the New Year in another month.”

"Alright, I should thank you properly for Wang Qi's matter. When you return, I will send someone to escort you."

"Okay." Du Mingxian didn't refuse; it wouldn't be good to refuse something repeatedly.

After agreeing with Wang's father, Du Mingxian rushed back to the inn. She went to her room first and made soup for Ling Silang directly in her space. When she brought the soup, she pretended to borrow a place from the inn's kitchen to cook it and knocked on the door, but no one answered for a long time.

She hesitated for a moment, unsure whether to push the door open and go in to check, or simply leave. If she left, Ling Silang should still be at the inn. After some hesitation, she reached out to push the door, but it wouldn't open.

She immediately became anxious, thinking that something must have happened to Ling Silang.

In a moment of panic, she kicked the door open and went in to find Ling Silang lying on the bed. She rushed over and found that he was unconscious and had a high fever.

She immediately took out fever-reducing medicine from her spatial storage and fed it to him, along with some soup she had made in her space.

When the waiter heard the commotion and ran over, he found that the door to his guest room had been kicked open. His expression immediately turned sour. "Sir, this door..."

"I'll compensate."

Du Mingxian said, "I'll pay," and the waiter immediately fell silent, hurriedly stepping forward to ask, "Is there some emergency? Do you need me to fetch a doctor?"

"Yes, thank you." Du Mingxian handed over a five-tael silver ingot. "Please run an errand to hire a doctor, and keep the rest to fix the door."

I was in such a hurry that she kicked the door down. It's beyond repair and we might have to buy a new one and replace it.

The waiter, beaming from ear to ear after receiving the silver, said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. Just let me know if you need anything, and I'll go and fetch someone right away."

The waiter immediately ran out, and a doctor was brought over shortly afterward.

After taking her pulse, the doctor frowned. "She has a congenital deficiency and cannot exert herself mentally. Perhaps she has been thinking too much lately and has not rested well, which has caused her to have a high fever."

"Excuse me."

"I'll prescribe some medicine; this illness requires proper care."

"it is good."

The doctor prescribed the medicine, and the waiter went to get it. He didn't ask Du Mingxian for any money, and even cooked it and brought it up.

The fever hadn't completely subsided, but Du Mingxian secretly took his temperature with a thermometer. The fever had gone down a lot, and the medicine was brought up. Du Mingxian fed it to Ling Silang little by little.

Because the door was broken, the waiter helped to take Ling Silang directly to Du Mingxian's room.
