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

No one responded. Only Zhang's mother, who was kneeling to one side, took two steps on her knees. Hearing the doctor's words, she breathed a long sigh of relief. As long as she was still alive, that was all that mattered.

Du Mingxian looked down and said, "Then please ask Dr. Lin to wake him up now. I have some questions to ask."

"it is good."

Dr. Lin inserted needles into several acupoints, and Zhang Er slowly woke up. In the dark environment, he could only see torches and an old man squatting beside him.

He turned his head and saw Du Mingxian looking down, her body trembling unconsciously, her heart filled with fear, and even her teeth chattering.

"Zhang Er".

Zhang Er shuddered and was so scared he peed himself.

To him now, Du Mingxian's voice is a soul-binding sound from hell.

"I'll ask you questions, and you'll answer. If you tell the truth, I can spare you some suffering."

"Mmm," Zhang Er replied, his whole body trembling slightly.

"Tell me whatever you know about my husband."

Zhang Er's voice was hoarse, but he still quickly spoke up, "That day I... I originally wanted to come and ask Miss Ling if she could marry me. My mother said that whoever Miss Ling chooses among us brothers will be the one she marries."

“My older brother has already married, and now it’s my turn. I really want to marry her, so I came here to find her.”

"But when I got there, I found out that she wasn't there and had gone to the county. I thought I'd just wander around and wait for her to come back before I talked to her. While I was wandering around, I encountered... someone walking one after the other with your husband."

"At the time, I was just trying to please your husband and get him to speak well of me in front of Miss Ling, so I chased after him and saw... saw that person knock your husband unconscious and then carry him up the mountain."

"I just... went with them."

Du Mingxian spoke coldly, "Tell the truth."

“I stepped forward to stop him from taking Ling Xiucai away. When he saw me, he asked if I wanted to marry Miss Ling. If I wanted to marry Miss Ling, I had to listen to him.”

"I was bewitched and listened to him. The two of us carried the person to the cave, and he tied the person up to prevent me from making a sound."

"Let me come to your house in a few days to find Miss Ling, and tell her that as long as she is willing to marry me, I will help her find someone, and I am almost certain that she will marry me."

Just as Du Mingxian had guessed, "Who is that person?"

“Ling Zheng, the peddler from your village.”

Du Mingxian asked again, "You told everything, and there were no lies?"

"No, no, it's all the truth."

Du Mingxian was seething with anger. "Do you know where Ling Zheng went?"

"I don't know, I don't know."

While the two were talking, Doctor Lin had already treated Zhang Er's injuries. Du Mingxian looked at Zhang Er and said, "Since you have already confessed, I will not make things difficult for you anymore. However, I cannot let you go until Ling Zheng comes out."

"What do you want?"

“Of course I’ll keep you tied up, but since your attitude is alright, I can stop hanging you.” With that, Du Mingxian dragged the person to a tree trunk and tied them to the tree.

"Stay here and insist that you did it. That way, Ling Zheng will be more likely to show up. Once Ling Zheng shows up, I will let you go."

"Okay, okay." Didn't he say it wasn't good either?

If he says something is wrong, he might lose his life.

Zhang's mother heard everything clearly and was angry that her second son was so brainless, but she still stepped forward to plead, "Look, Zhang Er has told us everything, can you please let him go?"

"You'd better not say anything. If you do, and it turns out your son didn't do it alone, and Ling Zheng runs away, I'll pin all the blame on him," Du Mingxian warned.

Zhang's mother was quite frightened by Du Mingxian and kept nodding, "Yes, yes, yes."

Du Mingxian glanced around. Doctor Lin certainly wouldn't say anything, nor would Madam Zhou, and there were also the Zhang family mother and son. Luckily, it was already dark, and many people had gone to sleep.

Ling Zheng.

Bravo.

I think you can run away on the first day of the month, but you can't run away on the fifteenth.

Madam Zhou stepped forward and nervously grabbed Du Mingxian's arm. "Mingxian, what are we going to do now? Ling Zheng and we are quite close. Si Lang even calls Ling Zheng 'brother'."

"Second sister-in-law, go inside and talk."

The two walked inside, and Zhang's mother and Xiao Zhou's mother asked for torches.

Ling's mother, who had fainted in the courtyard, had gotten up and was now standing there, swaying precariously. I felt extremely sorry for her and silently shed tears.

Her youngest son, whom she always doted on, has truly suffered this time.

When Ling's mother saw her two daughters-in-law come out, she called out in a hoarse voice, "Mingxian, what should we do? What should we do?"

Du Mingxian quickly stepped forward, "Mother, don't worry. Doctor Lin is still here, there must be a way. I don't believe my husband will just die like this. Let's think of a way, there's definitely still hope."

People must have faith; they cannot say there is no hope. If they say there is no hope, then there really may be no hope.

You have to give yourself some hope; only with hope can you survive.

Ling's mother wiped away her tears, "Yes, yes, there must be a way, there must be a way." She held Du Mingxian's hand tightly, "Since Mingxian entered the family, she has brought a lot of good fortune to the family. I believe that this good fortune can protect Silang, and Silang will definitely be alright."

Madam Zhou comforted her, "Don't worry, Mother. Si Lang is a scholar; he'll definitely be alright."

Several women comforted each other in the courtyard.

Wang stepped forward and asked, "Mingxian, Zhang Er did this. Let's take him to the authorities."

"Go inside and talk."

The man and woman entered the main room together and lit an oil lamp, making it dim.

“Zhang Er did the deed, but he wasn’t the mastermind; it was Ling Zheng.”

Mr. Ling was shocked and stood up abruptly, completely baffled. "Why would Ling Zheng do this? We have no past grudges or recent conflicts with their family. Why would he do this to my son?"

"Father, Ling Zheng has escaped. What we need to do now is to suppress the matter and wait for Ling Zheng to come back. As long as he comes back, we can catch him." Du Mingxian now wished she could just beat Ling Zheng to a pulp.

Ling Dalang said, "I'll go ask. Ling Zheng's family will definitely know where he went."

Du Mingxian shook her head. "We went there that day. His family wasn't lying. They really didn't know where Ling Zheng went. They used Zhang Er to keep him in suspense. Ling Zheng thought that Zhang Er wasn't telling the truth and that he was safe, so he would definitely come back."

"That son of a bitch, when he gets back, I'm going to break his legs," Ling Erlang said fiercely.

Ling Sanlang said, "I don't have much to do on weekdays. I go to Ling Zheng's house at night to keep watch. If he comes back quietly at night, I will find out immediately."

"Third Brother, let's take turns."

"Row."

Staking out is hard work; one person can't do it alone, so two people have to take turns.

Ling's mother choked up and said, "Even if we kill Ling Zheng now, it won't make up for the harm done to my son. Doctor Lin said... to prepare for the worst. What should we do? What should we do?"
