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

Speaking of Wu Daniu, Du Mingwei still felt a little sad. Before getting married, she was aiming for the position of general's wife, but after living together and sleeping together, she developed feelings for him.

She has feelings for Wu Daniu now, but Wu Daniu doesn't only have feelings for her; there's also that bitch Wang Cui in his heart.

Thinking back to her past life, Wu Daniu only had Du Mingxian by his side from beginning to end, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.

What makes Du Mingxian so special? What's so great about her?

Why was Du Mingxian able to have Wu Daniu all to herself in her past life, but not in this life, and has to put up with all of Wu Daniu's faults?

No, if Du Mingxian can do it, she can definitely do it too.

"Mother, don't worry about the child. The key issue now is that bitch Wang Cui. Even if I get pregnant now, it won't do me any good. If Wang Cui finds out, she'll just take advantage of the situation, and it'll be even more troublesome."

Xu Yulan advised, "With a child, your position is secure. There's no need to rush things with Wang Cui. She's just an outsider. Even if there's something going on between them, there's nothing to worry about."

“Mother, how can I not worry? Besides… I don’t want to let an annoying person into the house.”

Xu Yulan looked at her with complicated eyes, "I still don't understand why you didn't marry into the Ling family, but insisted on marrying into the Wu family."

“Look at Du Mingxian after she married into the Ling family. They’re living such a good life now. They have workshops and carriages, and the whole family is doing very well. They’ve even built a new house. Moreover, Ling Silang is a scholar and is pampered at home. By any measure, they are better off than the Wu family.”

This was something she had always wanted to ask, but had never said aloud.

Du Mingwei shook her head, "Mother, you don't understand. Temporary glory means nothing. The Wu family may seem insignificant now, but wait a few years and see."

“Those younger members of the Wu family will all be extraordinary people in the future, so the Wu family is much better off than the Ling family.”

Xu Yulan couldn't understand where Du Mingwei's confident demeanor came from.

"No matter what happens in the future, the Ling family is doing quite well now. Look at the Wu family, the big and small don't do anything, and everything is yours."

"You only had a miscarriage a short time ago, and they don't care about you at all, making you do everything."

Xu Yulan was very dissatisfied with the Wu family. If she could do it all over again, she would never let her daughter choose the Wu family. The Ling family was so much better.

Du Mingwei couldn't reveal her rebirth, so she looked at Xu Yulan seriously and said, "Mother, I had a dream before the arranged marriage."

"Is it related to your insistence on marriage exchange?"

Du Mingwei nodded emphatically, “Of course it’s related. I dreamed that Wu Daniu would become a general in the future, and that his younger siblings would become big businessmen, officials, and even empresses in the palace. Everyone of them would be very capable and would live a very good life.”

"In the dream, the one who married Wu Daniu was Du Mingxian. Wu Daniu never remarried and spent his whole life with Du Mingxian, without ever having a concubine."

“Mother, think about it. Wu Daniu was a general back then. Generals are so powerful, and they were the emperor’s favorites. Even with such a status, he didn’t take another concubine or a maid.”

"It's clear that things aren't as Da Niu thought. Wang Cui deliberately seduced Wu Da Niu, which is why Wu Da Niu had such thoughts."

Xu Yulan was skeptical. "In my dream, Du Mingxian married Wu Daniu and had a bright future. What about you?"

"Of course, I married Ling Silang, that short-lived bastard, just like before. After I married him, I did pass the imperial examination and became a scholar, but what good was it? After passing the examination, I was bedridden and had to go through one doctor after another."

"In the end, I survived for a year but still died. From the moment I entered the Ling family, that old hag didn't want me to consummate my marriage with Ling Silang. After Ling Silang passed away, I wanted to remarry, but the old hag wouldn't agree to it, saying that I should stay and wait for him."

"With a family like that, do you still feel it's a pity you didn't marry into it? Du Mingxian seems glamorous now that she's married into it, but that glamour is only temporary. Once the glamour fades, there will be endless heartache behind it all."

"In my dream, I remained a widow until the very end. The Ling family never allowed me to leave the Ling family, even though they knew that I had been living separately from Ling Silang since I entered the family. They still did not agree to let me leave the Ling family."

When Du Mingwei talks about her past life, she feels more wronged and angry. She is angry that the Ling family is a bunch of scoundrels who forced her to live a life of widowhood.

Seeing her daughter's angry expression, Xu Yulan stopped talking. All the things she couldn't understand before, she now understood, but she felt more upset.

“A dream is just a dream. I’m afraid that because of this dream, you might make a choice to be married off in an arranged marriage, and then end up with nothing.”

"It's okay, I will never regret my choice."

To the outside world it's a dream, but she's been reborn. She knows the course of everything, so there are no uncertainties; everything is happening in reality.

Xu Yulan stopped trying to persuade her and washed the last piece of clothing, placing it in Du Mingwei's basin. "Mother hopes you are doing well."

"Mother, don't worry. When I become a general's wife, I'll make you the old lady and you won't have to do any more work. I'll even assign you ten or eight maids to serve you well."

"Mother, wait here." Xu Yulan's face was full of worry. "These clothes will leave marks if we stretch them out before hanging them to dry. If we hang them directly on the ground, they will leave marks."

"Okay, Mother, don't worry, I will. You go back now."

"it is good."

Du Mingwei carried the basin forward, thinking to herself that on the day the exam results came out, she would definitely go to the scene to see how flustered the Ling family was and how disheveled Du Mingxian was.

The doctor was in high demand that day. Many wealthy families invited the doctor to their homes early in the morning to wait. So what if the Ling family had some money? Could they really invite a doctor?

Du Mingxian had no idea about any of this. She finally managed to make some fast food for Ling Silang, such as... instant noodles. She had finally figured it out.

All the ingredients were sourced from the space itself, and she even prepared some water for Ling Silang, all of which could be brought in.

All she hopes now is that even after Ling Silang finishes his exams, he won't be so unwell that he'll need to stay in bed. She just wants him to be able to walk in and walk out.

She also prepared some beef and Microsoft products for him. They are not easy to preserve, but they will be just the right amount for Ling Silang to eat during the few days he goes to take the exam, and they won't spoil.

I didn't prepare anything else; for this kind of exam, the simpler the items you bring, the better.

In the three days leading up to the exam, Ling Silang became increasingly relaxed, but Du Mingxian's mental state deteriorated, and she was constantly tense.

"Don't go when I have my exam." Ling Silang felt extremely sorry for her when he saw her like this, so he could only suggest that she not see him off.

Du Mingxian didn't want to miss this opportunity. "I'll go see you off. I won't feel at ease until I see you go in."
