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

"I don't know, let me think about it for you." After Du Mingxian finished speaking, two long needles appeared in her hand without her noticing, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.

Without hesitation, the needle pierced directly into Ling Zheng's flesh.

Ling was in so much pain that he kept crying out.

Du Mingxian said quietly, "Scream louder, and you'll be the one they come out to eat you, you idiot. I didn't even stab you with a dagger in my hand, I used a needle. Don't you understand what I mean?"

Du Mingwei and Ling Zheng had been hooking up for some time, so seeing Ling Zheng suffering, she naturally had to step forward and say a few words, "Mingxian, don't be like this, let's talk things out."

Du Mingxian turned around and looked at her coldly, "What's there to say? Tell me about it."

“There must be some misunderstanding here. Ling Zheng would not do such a thing.”

"You seem to know him very well."

Du Mingwei's eyes flickered, and she awkwardly avoided Du Mingxian's gaze.

Du Mingxian suddenly thought of many things.

Ling Zheng was from Dahe Village. After Du Mingwei married Wu Daniu, she wouldn't have been to Dahe Village much. Even if Ling Zheng was a peddler, he wouldn't have taken this route.

So how did these two people get together?

Did Wu Daniu know that Du Mingwei was cheating on him?

Thinking about Wu Daniu's personality and his actions, she suddenly found herself quite curious about how Wu Daniu would react after learning the truth.

“Ling Zheng, I advise you to confess honestly why you attacked Ling Silang, otherwise… don’t blame me for being impolite.”

"No, I didn't. Ling Silang and I are cousins. How could I possibly lay a hand on him? It was Zhang Er who did it. Zhang Er wanted to marry Ling Xiaomei, so he did it on purpose."

Seeing that Ling Zheng was unwilling to speak no matter what, Du Mingxian simply stopped talking, took out a rope from her space, and tied Ling Zheng's hands above his head.

Du Mingwei was trembling with fear at this moment and didn't notice what was going on with the extra rope in Du Mingxian's hand.

She wondered what would happen to the Wu family if Du Mingxian revealed her affair with Ling Zheng. Even if Wu Daniu wasn't a general in the future, they probably wouldn't want her.

She was terrified and her mind was elsewhere when she heard Ling Zheng cry out in pain. When she looked up, she saw Du Mingxian walking ahead, holding a rope in her hand, with Ling Zheng tied to the other end of the rope.

Ling Zheng fell to the ground, completely naked. He had just been wearing a simple garment tied around his waist, but with this tug, the garment was long gone.

She took a step back in surprise.

"Mingwei, Mingwei, quickly help me put on my clothes," Ling Zheng called out.

Du Mingwei didn't want to get involved, but if Ling Zheng went out like this, everyone would definitely ask why he was naked, and she wouldn't be able to escape the question either. "Mingxian, Mingxian, we are both daughters of the Du family. Please give me some face and let me put his clothes on first, okay?"

Du Mingxian didn't want to give her that face, but she turned to look at Ling Zheng.

Forget it.

If Ling Zheng goes out with this kind of image, who knows how many young women and wives he might scare away, especially little girls. Don't let him offend children's eyes.

"Go."

Du Mingxian watched from the side, while Du Mingwei hurriedly picked up Ling Zheng's clothes and went forward to dress him.

The two quickly put their heads together, and Du Mingxian just watched as the two idiots tried to untie the knot she had tied right in front of her. How stupid!

"Okay, let's go."

Du Mingwei stepped forward and pleaded, "Mingxian, don't worry, can you untie his hands and I'll put his shirt on him?"

Du Mingxian shook her head, "Just make sure the rope around your waist is tied properly, otherwise your pants will fall down and get dirty in the children's eyes."

Du Mingwei wanted to say something, but Du Mingxian had already pulled her forward, not giving her a chance at all.

Ling Zheng had nothing on his upper body and was dragged away. His skin was quickly scraped and he kept crying out in pain, but Du Mingxian ignored him and just dragged him all the way down the mountain.

Several times, stones hit his head, knocking him unconscious. His face was covered in blood and dirt, making him look miserable and disheveled.

They reached the foot of the mountain, where Chen Ming was waiting for her. When he saw her come out, he hurriedly went to greet her, "Sister."

"Go home and bring the horse over."

"it is good."

Chen Mingfei quickly brought the horse over, and Du Mingxian mounted it. Just as she was about to leave, she stopped and looked down at Chen Ming, "You don't need to go to the Ling family recently. If anything happens later, just come to the county to find me."

"Okay." Chen Ming always listened to Du Mingxian.

Du Mingxian left, mounted her horse, and galloped away, dragging Ling Zheng behind her, kicking up a cloud of dust. At the same time, his pitiful screams startled the chickens and dogs in the village.

Du Mingxian was furious, and she managed to suppress it for several days. The source of this anger was Ling Zheng.

Ling Zheng was tormented, waking up one moment and fainting from the pain the next, over and over again. Finally, he was woken up by being doused with water.

The first thing I saw were several unfamiliar faces, including Du Mingxian's.

Upon seeing Du Mingxian, he was so frightened that he shrank back in panic, saying, "I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong."

Du Mingxian didn't respond at all. "This is Zhang Er's house, and Zhang Er is here too. If you don't admit that you did it, then confront Zhang Er. It's always one of you who did it."

"I'll talk, I'll talk." Having been dragged all the way here, Ling Zheng had long lost his stubbornness and now wanted to say whatever was asked. "I did it, Zhang Er and I did it together."

"Oh, then why did you do that? And why did you agree to let Zhang Er go with you?"

Ling Zheng said cautiously, "Because of Du Mingwei, she always praised Ling Silang in front of me. That day, I was walking in the village and saw him wandering around alone. I told him that I had something I wanted to tell him."

"Who knew he would actually believe it, and even went to the river with me. I knocked him unconscious and was about to take him away when Zhang Er came out. I told Zhang Er that Ling Silang is very important to Ling Zhe."

“If Zhang Er still wants to marry Zhang Xiaomei, come with me to carry Ling Silang into the mountains. Then we can release Ling Silang. The Ling family will definitely be grateful to him. At that time, Ling Xiaomei will definitely be Zhang Er’s. Moreover, the Ling family is rich now, so they certainly won’t mistreat Zhang Er.”

“Zhang Er believed it, so he helped me carry the man up the mountain. Once we got to the cave, the two of us tied him up together.”

Upon hearing this, Du Mingxian stepped forward and broke Zhang Er's ankle. Her own legs were trembling slightly, but she felt incredibly relieved after that kick.

"You just told me you were cousins. Is this how cousins ​​are—unable to stand seeing others do well, resorting to violence?"

Ling Zheng dared not speak. If he had known that injuring Ling Silang would result in such brutal treatment from Du Mingxian, he would not have dared to do so even if he had ten times the courage.

"Tying him up is one thing, but not giving him water or food is another. Whose idea was that?" She hadn't asked Zhang Er this question before, because it would be easy for him to give a false testimony.
