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

Seeing that the two had agreed, Madam Zhou didn't say anything. By the time she realized what was happening and went to cook, Xu Tingting had already set the food on the table.

After dinner, Du Mingxian and Ling Silang hurriedly went home.

The two of them rented a horse-drawn carriage in the county. On the way back, Ling Silang was a little nervous. He tried to hold Du Mingxian's hand, but Du Mingxian pulled her hand away.

After finishing her meal and getting into the carriage, she calmed down and thought of something.

She and Ling Silang have divorced, so... if she takes Old Madam Xu to live with her now, she won't be able to leave the Ling family, which would be awkward.

Seeing that Du Mingxian was lost in thought, Ling Silang asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. We were just saying we'd take Grandma to stay in the village for a while, but then I suddenly thought Mom might be bullied at the shop, so I wanted to go check on her too."

Even a single servant at home can bully Madam Zhou, so there are several servants in the kitchen of the shop.

"I'll make time to go."

Du Mingxian rolled her eyes at him. "Don't forget, we're divorced. I'll pack my things and leave once we get back."

"I was wrong, I was wrong, it's all my fault. As long as you don't leave, we can talk about anything."

Du Mingxian rolled her eyes at him and didn't say anything.

"Why don't you make me angry just this once?"

"Why don't you hit me to vent your anger?"

Seeing that Du Mingxian remained silent, Ling Silang grew anxious. Finally, Du Mingxian asked, "Do you know what husband and wife are?"

"what?"

"When husband and wife are one, the first thing to do is to be honest with each other."

Ling Silang knew that she still cared a lot about the divorce agreement. "It was my fault. From now on, I will tell my wife everything, no matter how small."

"Lord Ling, you'll be pursuing a career in government in the future. You'll be dealing with a lot of things and a lot of people. You might even have a lot of women around you, it'll be quite a lively affair."

"will not."

"You are already a successful candidate in the imperial examinations. After the New Year, you will take the final exam and become an official in the imperial court. At that time, many things will be beyond your control."

Ling Silang reached out and forcefully pulled her hand, saying earnestly and attentively, "Don't worry, you are the only one in my life."

Du Mingxian suddenly thought of her past life, "But... what if I couldn't have children?"

Ling Silang scoffed, "What's the big deal? With so many children in the family, why would we be short of one from our branch? We can just adopt whichever one you like and raise them directly."

Du Mingxian's lips twitched. "You're dreaming."

"My older brothers love me the most."

"Then it's an agreement that no matter what happens in the future, you must not hide anything from me, and you will not make decisions on your own, thinking they are for my own good, without consulting me."

"Yes, I will definitely listen to my wife from now on."

Du Mingxian glared at him. "After you get home, you'll be seriously ill. Make it look more convincing."

"Know it."

When the two entered the village, the villagers didn't pay much attention when they saw that they were going to the Ling family's house. After all, the Ling family was doing business and people would come over every now and then.

Now the villagers are quite used to horse-drawn carriages.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Ling family's residence. Madam Ling was the first to rush out, her voice trembling slightly with caution, "Is that Mingxian?"

"Mother, it's me." Du Mingxian first lifted the curtain and got off the carriage, and then reached out to help the person.

Ling Silang, looking sickly, stepped out of the carriage and called out to his mother, "Mother."

"Oh, oh." Seeing that her son was still alive, Ling's mother was so excited that she couldn't speak. It wasn't until Ling Silang got off the carriage that she asked anxiously, "Are you tired? Go inside and rest."

"Okay." Ling Silang was helped inside by his mother. Du Mingxian paid for the carriage, took their things, and followed them inside.

When Du Mingxian entered the room, Ling Silang had already been seated at the table by his mother. Ling's mother was so happy she didn't know what to say. "Should I go and make something for us to eat?"

"Mom, we've already eaten. We ate at my mom's place."

"oh oh."

Ling's mother wanted to ask how Ling Silang was doing, but she didn't dare to, fearing that if she had too high hopes, she would only be disappointed.

“Mother, my husband’s condition has improved. He may still need to take medicine from time to time, but it’s almost cured. As long as he can maintain this condition, he can live to a ripe old age.”

Tears streamed down Ling's mother's face again. She had been longing for this news for so long, and now it had finally arrived.

"Okay, Mingxian, you are our family's lucky star."

Du Mingxian: How did this get involved with her?

So he quickly changed the subject, "Mom, the reason we haven't been back for several days is because we went to take an exam."

Ling's mother was stunned. "You've all finished the exams?"

"Yes."

"Tell your mother what exactly happened?"

“We went to the fields that day, and as we walked, we thought of my uncle. We thought that my uncle had traveled to many places and might know some people. So, with no other option, we rushed to the county as soon as possible.”

Ling's mother had a question: Shouldn't they have gone home and taken a horse-drawn carriage to the county instead? Besides, given Si Lang's condition at the time, it was uncertain whether they could even make it to the county.

“My uncle really knew someone, and he took us there that very night. The doctor in the mountains was eccentric, but luckily he said he was destined to be with my husband, so he saved him.”

"After resting there for a few days, we realized we wouldn't have enough time to come back, so we went directly to the prefectural city. After the exam, my husband wasn't feeling well, so we rested in the prefectural city for a few more days before returning."

"Okay, okay, as long as you can come back."

Ling's mother didn't ask any more questions. She only saw that her son was alright, which was a great joy. Moreover, her son continued to take the exam, and it was also a good thing that he passed the exam this time.

Ling Silang coughed lightly, "Mother, I'm a little tired."

"Alright, alright, you go to sleep, you go to sleep, Mom will go out first."

"Then I'll stay here with you, my husband."

"Okay, you stay with me."

Neither of them wanted to explain too much to their families. The more they said, the bigger the loopholes would become, and the easier it would be for others to suspect them. It was better to tell one person and let that person find a way to cover it up.

Ling's mother went out, and soon Ling's father returned, along with the other brothers of the Ling family. Ling's mother briefly explained the matter, which was indeed very simple.

“Mingxian’s uncle knew a miracle doctor and took him to see a doctor. The doctor cured Silang’s illness. Silang even took the exam, but his body couldn’t handle it after the exam, so he came back a little late.”

Mr. Ling was so excited that he wanted to go in and see what was happening, but Mrs. Ling hurriedly stopped him, saying, "Don't get excited. Mingxian is inside with you. I think the couple's relationship is much better after this incident."

“Of course, we’ve been through thick and thin together,” Ling’s father replied, but he still wanted to see his son.

"Let the child get some sleep. He must not have been sleeping well these days. We'll see him around noon."

"well."

Everyone in the Ling family was happy, and at noon, Ling's mother simply killed two chickens to celebrate.

Before long, the news that Ling Silang had returned alive spread like wildfire, bringing many people with him.
