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

"Why?" Du Mingxian could feel her voice trembling. After living so many lives, hearing such a story, and seeing the protagonist of the story sitting right in front of her, she could hardly imagine how much pain the protagonist of the story must have been in.

The old man raised his hand, picked up the teacup, took a small sip, and then put it down again.

Du Mingxian could see that her hands were trembling slightly, but she managed not to make the teacup make a sound.

"Because her granddaughter was dissatisfied, she was left to keep the woman company."

"That day was another woman's birthday, but because of her presence, not everyone in the family could leave, so they drew lots. In the end, the eldest granddaughter was unlucky and stayed. The eldest granddaughter was dissatisfied, so she secretly took the woman to see how her close relative was getting along well with others."

"After the woman returned home, she fell seriously ill. From childhood to adulthood, she had never experienced any setbacks. She was pampered and cherished growing up. She had an older sister, an older brother, and a younger brother, all of whom doted on her. Before this incident, the greatest hardship she had ever endured was the bitter taste of medicine."

"Her sudden illness caused another woman's birthday banquet to end early, leaving everyone feeling disappointed. After returning home, they harbored even more resentment towards the woman. However, because the woman was ill, and there were men in front of her to suppress her, the children below felt dissatisfied but dared not show it too much on their faces."

"But they didn't realize that these children were all raised by the woman. She could tell at a glance what kind of temperament each child had, what made them happy, and what made them unhappy."

"She could see worry and concern on the face of her childhood sweetheart, but she could also see his anxiety and unease. His heart was divided, worried about the woman and also about another woman outside."

"At that time, men and their families were the most unfamiliar to women; she had never seen such a family before."

"Her life was like a joke, living in a beautiful bubble. Because her family had some influence, the men didn't dare to be too open about their relationships with other women. They always kept it a secret, and very few people knew about it."

Du Mingxian was very confused. "I don't quite understand. She gave birth to the child and raised him. How come her child is closer to another woman than to his own mother?"

“At first, the woman didn’t understand either.” The old man laughed mockingly. Du Mingxian saw a crystal tear fall from her eye, but she didn’t notice at all.

"So the woman was so eager to know why. Perhaps because her belief was too strong, her health improved, and her family members started taking turns staying by her side. Everyone else was with the other man. Later, the woman couldn't take it anymore and simply said that she needed to rest and didn't allow anyone to disturb her. Only then did she have some space of her own."

"She went to investigate and see for herself, and dared not use the people around her, because... the people around her had long since become men's women, and her every move was under the control of her whole family."

"After much effort, the woman finally discovered that the child she had raised was the father of another woman, and that her child had died at birth. No wonder, the child she raised herself ended up being someone else's dutiful son."

Du Mingxian thought of her past life, in which she lost her child and had no chance of having another. Wu Daniu brought a child back from outside and asked her to raise it. At first, she thought it was just that the child was compatible with him, but as the child grew up to look more and more like Wu Daniu, she realized that Wu Daniu was having an affair.

So... she decisively gave Wu Daniu a drug that would prevent him from getting an erection.

It was for this reason that even if Wu Daniu later wanted to have sex with a woman, he couldn't get the right tools to do so. In the end, he didn't dare to take a concubine, for fear of exposing his impotence. He only had her in his harem and pretended to be a devoted lover, thus gaining the favor of the world.

She felt sorry for the old man in front of her, but he was engrossed in his own world, so she didn't disturb him.

"Being loved was fake, the child was fake, all of life, care, and everything else was fake. The woman even thought about suicide, but before she died, her sister sent someone to find her. After seeing her sister, her suicidal thoughts vanished."

"After leaving her sister's house, the woman went back and gave every man in her household, from the man himself to the baby in his arms, a drug that would prevent them from having children. The same was true for the woman." The old man said, then turned to Du Mingxian and gave a mocking smile. "Doesn't that seem a bit too cruel?"

Du Mingxian shook her head, "It only cut off their lineage, it doesn't mean they're dead. If it were me, I might have killed them directly. So what if we did a bloodbath? They deserved everything."

The old man shook his head. "They cut off their lineage, donated all their wealth to the imperial court, and then burned the entire house down. The woman died in the fire too."

"Since we are newborns, we should live life to the fullest."

The old man gave a sneer, "When I was seriously ill, I felt it was all retribution."

"If this is truly retribution, then those who deceive others should receive the punishment they deserve."

"Human punishment is enough, the great revenge is complete, and the rest is up to fate."

"Grandma, you have my mother and uncle now, and your life will only get better and better." Du Mingxian felt sorry for the old woman in front of her, and she believed that what the old woman said was true, so she felt even more sorry for her. She had lived in a bubble for most of her life, which was both honey and poison.

The old man's smile became more genuine as he thought of his children. "Yes, yes, it must be that God felt my life was a joke, so He gave me a great deal and gave me a pair of filial children."

"It's not impossible for Grandma to have a house full of children and grandchildren. She should hurry up and find a husband for her uncle. Maybe she'll be able to hold her grandson soon."

The elderly should be given something to do. The more things they have to do, the less they will have to think, and the less pain they will experience.

Most importantly, someone sent by unknown individuals has disrupted the peace here. For some time to come, the old man will likely remain immersed in the past, suffering to the point of numbness.

"Grandma knows you mean well, but your uncle... let him be. His current status makes it inconvenient for him to have a child."

“I’ve changed your status to slavery, and then everything will be fine.”

"No, things should be done the way they should be. This is already very good. How can you treat servants like this?"

Du Mingxian shook her head, "No, they're not servants, they're family. My mother has always treated them as relatives, and so have I, so their household registration should be changed. Besides, is Grandma worried that I'll run away?"

"Only a fool would run away from such a good day; you're just too kind-hearted."

Du Mingxian didn't explain. While she sympathized with the old man, she also sympathized with herself in her previous life, the pain of raising other people's children and the pain of playing the role of a good wife, which no one could understand.
