I can die myself, but not my son; my son is the root of the Wang family.

The Queen Mother seemed to lose her mind, letting out a heart-wrenching cry, "My son!" She lunged forward, her hands trembling, her eyes bloodshot, "How are you? How are you?"

"Mother, promise him, promise him."

At this moment, the Queen Mother had no choice. If she didn't agree, the consequences would be even more difficult to face. She could only nod emphatically, "Alright, I agree."

Finally, witnessed by the entire village, Wang, on behalf of all her sisters, severed ties with their maternal families. Each sister wrote a separate letter of severance, and each letter was in triplicate.

This is also to prevent some fools from being brainwashed since childhood. If Wang's thoughts are not what they think, they might cut off the writing and cause even more trouble.

Write them separately. Whoever is unwilling to cut ties with the Queen Mother, this bloodsucker, can destroy the severance agreement themselves.

After everything was done, Wang fainted. Fortunately, Du Mingxian supported her and, sensing something was wrong, reached out to catch her, preventing her from falling to the ground.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law."

Ling's mother was also extremely anxious, "Quickly, take it to the doctor, the Wang family is really despicable."

Du Mingxian was strong and picked up Wang Shi directly.

So light. She looked down and saw that although Wang had worked hard when she was with the Ling family, she still had some flesh on her face. But only a few days had passed, and her cheeks were sunken, which meant she hadn't been eating enough.

Du Mingxian couldn't wait to be sent by carriage. "Mother, I'll take my sister-in-law to the county. You all follow behind."

"Can you do it alone?"

"OK."

With Lin Hu's help, Du Mingxian placed Wang Shi in front of her, secured Wang Shi with one hand, and pulled the reins with the other before riding away.

Lin Hu and the others also boarded the carriage and headed towards the county.

The villagers of Wangjiaren felt uneasy, and in the silence, someone said...

"The Ling family is quite something. They have two horses. Look how anxious they are. It's clear they're living a very good life in the Ling family."

Before anyone could agree, someone ran over from a distance and announced, "He passed! The scholar from the Ling family passed the county-level exam and became the top scholar!"

"Which Ling family?"

"The Ling family that Wang Jinhua from our village married before, it's a pity that she was divorced because of her mother's interference, otherwise she would have had a better life ahead of her. Why are you all gathered here? What big thing happened in the village?"

“You wouldn’t believe it if you went to the county. Something terrible has happened to the Wang family. The Wang Jinhua you were just feeling sorry for has been taken away by the Ling family. And all the Wang family’s daughters have cut ties with their maternal families.”

"Huh? There's such a good thing?"

These words reached the ears of the Queen Mother without missing a single one, and she gritted her teeth in anger. In the end, she could only mutter resentfully, "So what if you pass the county-level exam? You're still just a short-lived ghost."

Du Mingxian led Wang Shi all the way to the county, and after finding Doctor Lin, she handed the person over to him, saying, "Please take a look."

After taking the pulse, Dr. Lin frowned deeply. "The injury is too severe, and the patient was brought in a bit late. I cannot guarantee a cure."

"Treat her first, save her as much as possible." Du Mingxian hadn't expected Wang Shi to be so badly injured. Was the Wang family trying to kill her?

Doctor Lin prescribed medicine. "Besides the internal injuries, there are also some external injuries. I'll leave the medicine here. You can apply it for her. I'll have the apprentice brew the medicine for her now. Drink it first and then go back."

"it is good."

Doctor Lin left some medicine for external injuries and left. Du Mingxian closed the door tightly, went forward and took out some spiritual water from her space. She fed some to Wang Shi, and fortunately, she could still swallow.

They cut open Wang's clothes with scissors; the wounds were severe, all whip marks, some of which had already become infected.

Even as an assassin, she felt the wound was too cruel.

Wash the wound with holy water, apply medicine where possible, and if it's festering, cut away the flesh first before applying medicine.

After she finished treating her wounds, she looked up and noticed that it was getting dark outside. She went to open the door, and Ling's mother and the others were standing at the door.

"How is it?"

"After applying the medicine, she's still asleep."

Xiao Zhou went to fetch the medicine. "This medicine has been heated up. I knocked on the door earlier, but you told me to wait a while, so I didn't bring it over. Doctor Lin said it was for my sister-in-law to drink."

"Okay, please feed them, Second Sister-in-law." I was very tired from treating my wound and didn't really want to move.

Ling's mother and the others went in to check the situation. Du Mingxian looked around to make sure no one was there, took out some steamed buns from her spatial storage and ate them before going back in.

"The injuries are too severe, and we may have to spend the night here. Erlang's wife and Sanlang's wife, you two go back. No one from home is here and may not know the situation here yet. Please let them know when you get back."

The two agreed, and Lin Hu was the one who took them back. Ling Dabao refused to leave no matter what, so in the end, Ling's mother had no choice but to let him stay as well.

Seeing that Ling's mother looked unwell, Du Mingxian could only say something cheerful, "Mother, don't worry, my sister-in-law will be fine. The messenger who brought the good news before I went to the Wang family has arrived home. My husband passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, and even the top scholar."

"That's wonderful! I was so worried about your sister-in-law that I completely forgot about it." Ling's mother was overjoyed, her mind filled with thoughts of what to do next and the envious looks she would receive from the villagers when they returned.

Du Mingxian wanted to stay that night, but... before the city gates closed, Ling Dalang entered the city, found Doctor Lin, and entrusted him with the night watch.

Finally, Du Mingxian took Ling's mother and Ling Dabao to the Xu family's house to sleep.

The next day, after breakfast, Du Mingxian and the other two left the Xu family home for the clinic. Wang Shi had already woken up, and her condition was better than Dr. Lin had expected.

"There are no major problems now. Just take your medicine and rest. You're recovering quite well."

Having survived the ordeal, Ms. Wang felt as if she had been given a second chance at life. "Thank you, doctor," she said.

The group rode back to the village in a horse-drawn carriage, chatting about the story of Ling Silang, a scholar.

As they entered the village, people came up to ask about Wang's condition. Ling Dalang, who was driving the cart, returned as they had agreed beforehand. He was badly injured, and they didn't know what would happen to him later.

After arriving home, Ling Dalang carried Wang Shi back into the house, as witnessed by the villagers.

After returning home, Ling's mother went for a stroll in the village, receiving envious glances and unsolicited praise from many people before happily returning home.

Du Mingxian didn't go out; she stayed at home talking to Ling Silang.

Ling Silang said, "After I pass the county-level examination, I will take the next exam in August. There will be some time in between, and I'm afraid my mother-in-law and mother will urge me. Why don't we live in the same room? If you feel uncomfortable, we can sleep in separate beds."

Du Mingxian: "..." Is that something that's inconvenient?

Ever since she transmigrated here, knowing that the space had followed her, she has always slept in the space. The space has a constant temperature, so living with Ling Silang would be very inconvenient.

"Not really, it's just that I sometimes make things myself, and I'm afraid it might affect your studies."

She also likes to close the door and study things.
