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

Wu Erniu responded and turned to leave without getting angry or questioning, which made Du Mingwei feel extremely comfortable, as she sensed that Wu Sanniu had not left yet.

"San Niu, you've gone too far this time. Si Hua even dared to stab me with scissors. We're family after all. I can't let Si Mei's crime go unpunished."

"Fine, go tell Sihua, or tell the villagers that Sihua almost stabbed you to death."

Du Mingwei was stunned. She hadn't expected Wu Sanniu to respond like that. That wasn't her intention. She just wanted to hear the Wu family apologize so that they would listen to her from now on. But what was Wu Sanniu's attitude?

"Well, we're family after all, so I can't push things too far. No matter what, I'm still your sister-in-law, Sihua... As long as you all listen to me and respect me in everything, this matter can be let go."

Wu Sanniu coldly curled the corners of his mouth, "Sister-in-law, we respect you as the eldest sister-in-law, so we'll consider things carefully for your sake. Also, regarding Sihua stabbing you, we all agree that it was the right thing to do."

"Without Fourth Sister's stab, how would we have known that my eldest brother had left home six months ago, and that you, his wife who had always stayed at home, were two months pregnant while he was away?"

"Wh...what?" Du Mingwei was extremely flustered, shocked, and also a little scared.

How could she get pregnant? She was so careful when she was doing these things, how could she... how could she get pregnant? Could the contraceptive pills she bought in town be fake?

“From now on, you will handle all the household chores, and we will not tell your elder brother anything. If you still dare to boss us brothers around like before, we will definitely not let you live.”

Du Mingwei was stunned. What was going on? How did she get pregnant?

And now that she's so badly injured, the younger members of the Wu family show no consideration whatsoever, even saying such threatening things. All the kindness they showed them in the past has been wasted.

The Wu family's place was in complete chaos, and Du Mingxian had no idea about it.

She had been giving instructions at home for the past two days, and she and Ling Silang were almost ready to set off in ten days.

The day before departure.

Eating together as family.

"Si Lang, once we're out there, nothing is more important than your own health. Only with life can there be hope," Ling Da Lang said.

Ling Erlang said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. We can accept whatever result you get."

“Actually, it would be fine to just stay in the village.” Ling Sanlang’s mindset was somewhat Buddhist.

After the brothers finished explaining, the sisters-in-law had nothing to say and directly handed the silver to Du Mingxian.

Wang said, "This money is a small token of our appreciation from your brother and me. Don't be in a hurry to refuse. We know you're not short of money, but what we give you is different from what you would give yourself."

Du Mingxian accepted it; it was a token of her sisters-in-law's goodwill.

Wang accepted what she gave, and naturally Xiao Zhou accepted what she gave. Liu gave not silver, but clothes she had prepared for the two of them, as well as some embroidered handkerchiefs for Du Mingxian.

In short, everyone in the family put in a lot of effort. After receiving the gifts, we all had a lively meal together and stayed up until evening before going home.

The next morning, Ling's mother got up to cook a nice meal for her son and daughter-in-law. But when the meal was ready, Ling Dalang and the others came over to see them off, but Ling Silang and his wife were still not up.

Ling's mother knocked on the door, and as she did so, the door opened, revealing that the bed inside was empty.

On the clean and tidy table, there was only a lonely letter.

“These…these two children.”

Not wanting to say goodbye to their families and ruin everyone's mood, Du Mingxian and Ling Silang decided to quietly leave home just before dawn.

Everything they needed to bring was in Du Mingxian's space, including the carriage that her family had specially prepared for them to go to the capital.

The two didn't rush on the road, setting off before dawn and arriving in the county at daybreak, where they went directly to the Xu family's house for a meal.

After the two decided to go to the capital, the Ling family got busy, so Old Lady Xu took the initiative to go home. When Ling Erlang came to deliver goods, she specially brought them back.

When Ling Silang and Du Mingxian entered the Xu family home, they were warmly welcomed.

Everyone seemed to have guessed that Du Mingxian was coming, and the food they prepared was exceptionally lavish.

"Did Mother know we were coming?"

Madam Zhou shook her head. "Your maternal grandmother guessed. It's because you often have to deliver goods, and Erlang comes to the county. Your uncle specifically went to find out when you left."

“Your maternal grandmother said that you would definitely come over after you left, and that it would be today, so we prepared early.”

Du Mingxian was very touched. "Thank you, Mom. Thank you, Grandma."

Grandma Xu didn't say anything, and the family ate a lively meal together.

After the meal, Madam Zhou didn't wash the dishes; Xu Tingting did. Madam Zhou then pulled Xu Tingting into her room and slipped more than twenty taels of silver into her daughter's arms.

"Take these. They're not much, but they should last you a while. Once I've earned some more, I'll have someone bring them to you."

Du Mingxian didn't want it, but seeing Da Zhou's concerned look, she swallowed the words she was about to say and simply didn't refuse. "Mother, take good care of yourself after I leave."

"Don't worry, Mom will definitely take good care of herself."

"Mother, we must use our methods when necessary, otherwise others will think we are easy to bully." What Du Mingxian was really worried about was Madam Zhou.

Too soft-hearted, and lacking in integrity.

Thinking of her daughter's methods of dealing with servants, Madam Zhou was naturally pleased. "I know that's the way it is, but your maternal grandmother and uncles have been looking for me for so many years. I don't want to cause trouble in the Xu family and make everyone worry."

“Then stand up for yourself. I will only allow this kind of bullying by wicked servants to happen once.”

Da Zhou nodded slightly, her eyes flickering.

"After I leave, take good care of yourself. Talk to your grandmother about anything. I will also write to my mother often while I am away from home."

"Okay, Mother is waiting." Madam Zhou was happy to see her daughter growing more and more beautiful.

Du Mingxian knew that talking to Da Zhou Shi would be a waste of time, so she simply told Da Zhou Shi to go to the shop and busy herself while she stayed behind to talk to Old Madam Xu. It was time for her to leave.

Madam Zhou was reluctant to leave. She wanted to watch her daughter go, but her daughter's eyes were wide open as she looked at her, and she couldn't say anything to refute her. She could only say, "Take care of yourself when you're out there."

"Okay, Mother, don't worry."

After the Zhou family left for the shop, only Old Madam Xu, Du Mingxian, and Ling Silang remained at home.

Grandma Xu stared at the two of them, feeling uneasy. "After you go to the capital, keep a low profile and don't go out and provoke people you shouldn't. There are many officials and imperial relatives in the capital. Even an ordinary person walking on the street could be a big problem."

"Grandma, we know."

Grandma Xu seemed to have a lot to say, yet also seemed to have nothing to say. She was somewhat distressed for a moment, but didn't say anything more. Watching the two leave, there was worry in her eyes.
