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

"You unlucky soul who was innocently captured by you, since you are unwilling to cooperate and achieve a win-win situation at home, then we will have no choice but to force you to confess."

Tao Qi understood the meaning behind the words and felt a wave of fear wash over him. He yelled at the children standing in the yard, "Are you all dead? All you do is watch and watch, don't you know how to come and help me?"

The children moved at the same time. Du Mingxian was on high alert and said to Ling Silang, "You hide to the side first."

It's incredibly embarrassing for a grown man to be told by his woman to stay out of danger during a dangerous situation. But he can't rush forward; rushing forward would be suicide and a hindrance.

While Ling Silang was being criticized for his weakness, Du Mingxian was already fighting with several children.

These children are all skilled, though a bit weak. They look like beginners who haven't mastered their skills yet, but if all three of them attack at the same time, they'll be enough for Du Mingxian to handle.

Du Mingxian had good physical strength, but when faced with the opponent's martial arts skills and lightness skills, she suddenly felt powerless. However, she still managed to defeat the three people quickly.

She adjusted her breathing, "Mr. Tao, have you thought this through? Just give us what we need directly, and we'll all be happy. If you don't, I won't mind treating you to a beating. Getting whipped is a good feeling, isn't it?"

She was in a lot of pain when she was hit.

Thinking about how these people were going to hit her, she didn't care whether Tao Qi agreed or not, and directly pulled out her whip and started hitting Tao Qi.

"Ah...ah..."

Seeing that he was screaming loudly, Du Mingxian simply tore a piece of cloth off the fat woman and stuffed it into Tao Qi's mouth before starting to hit him again.

The only sounds in the courtyard were the dull thud of the whip striking flesh and Tao Qi's agonizing cries that he couldn't utter.

She hit Tao Qi partly to force him to hand over the item, and partly to vent her frustration; they were truly unlucky to be tied up here.

Tao Qi felt so much pain in his body that his head started to throb, making it impossible for him to concentrate.

Finally, the fat woman couldn't bear to watch any longer and stepped forward to plead, "We'll give you the things, please stop hitting me, please stop hitting me."

Du Mingxian was also a little tired, so she stopped what she was doing and said, "Go get it."

The fat woman hurriedly stepped forward and said to Tao Qi, "Give it to her."

Tao Qi was still reluctant. He needed to consider the matter. These two people had come, and he hadn't even considered it before handing over the items. He didn't want to.

"Give her the things, and we won't need to worry about what happens next. Besides, the higher-ups will find out about what's going on here. If you don't take them, she might just beat you to death."

Du Mingxian appreciated the plump woman's pragmatism, saying, "That's good, that's smart."

Tao Qi didn't hesitate for long and nodded in agreement.

After getting Du Mingxian's consent, the fat woman shakily removed the thing from Tao Qi's mouth. "I'll untie the rope for him and let him go get the thing. Only he knows where it is."

"Don't try anything funny. He just said, 'Go get it.'"

"Yes, yes." The fat woman dared not disobey Du Mingxian.

Tao Qi was in excruciating pain. "Under the bed, remove the third brick, there's a letter inside."

The fat woman dragged her aching body inside to get it.

Du Mingxian said to Ling Silang, "This man is dishonest. How could the item possibly be a letter?"

"Yes, it is a letter. My task is to test you. Now that you need the letter, take it."

Du Mingxian was unsure whether Tao Qi was telling the truth or not.

"it is true."

"Alright then." Du Mingxian casually pointed to the few children she had just beaten down. "You guys, go and boil some water for me now. I want to take a bath."

The children hurried off to do chores.

Du Mingxian stood in the courtyard waiting for the woman to take out the letter. "Go and prepare clean clothes; we need to change."

"Yes." The fat woman lowered her head and immediately went to do her work.

The weather is very cool at night now. Du Mingxian and Ling Silang sat side by side in the courtyard, quietly discussing something.

"We've got the items, what do we do now? Should we just give them to them?"

"Either is fine. If we give it to them, we might have other things to do after we pass the test. If we don't give it to them... we can postpone it for two days."

Du Mingxian glanced at the few people in the courtyard. She was already struggling to deal with just these few kids. "Then let's wait a couple of days."

In her past life, the assassin used firearms the most, and while she did use ice weapons, they were less common. This led her to discover many of her shortcomings during the fight just now.

For the first time in my life, I have such a clear understanding of my own shortcomings.

The water was boiled quickly and Du Mingxian immediately ordered it to be put into Tao Qi and the fat woman's room. She didn't care what happened to the others; Ling Silang sat at the door and guarded them.

Inside the room, Du Mingxian picked up the clothes prepared by the fat woman, then flashed into her spatial dimension. She first threw the clothes into the washing machine, and then began to take a shower.

She used a mirror to apply some spiritual water to her wounds, and they healed and scabbed over at a visible speed. After that, she didn't dare to apply any more water.

It's fine once the scab forms; any faster and it will arouse suspicion.

After taking a shower, her clothes were dried and ready. She was still wearing her own clothes underneath, but she was wearing the clothes the fat woman had prepared on top.

He opened the door and said, "Come in and take a shower."

Ling Silang went inside, and Du Mingxian led him into the space, giving him some spiritual water. "Put this water on your wounds; it will help them heal faster. But don't apply any medicine to your face."

"I know."

Du Mingxian then took out his own clothes and put them aside, saying, "Wear your own clothes inside, and wear the ones the fat woman prepared for you on the outside."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian left the space, then left the house, and stood guard at the door.

The night was clear and the stars were few. It was especially quiet, with only a gentle breeze occasionally blowing. Du Mingxian felt comfortable and drowsy.

It wasn't until Ling Silang called her from inside the space that she quickly went into the house and brought the person out.

The Tao family members were already asleep. Du Mingxian went over and violently forced the fat woman to pour out the water in the room before going inside to sleep.

The Tao family was in dire straits.

Du Mingxian went directly into the space with Ling Silang. The two had a good nap in the space. When they came out, it was already noon, and the Tao family's courtyard was quiet.

Du Mingxian came out and stretched in the yard. "Tao Qi's wife, let's cook. Do you want us to starve to death?"

No movement.

Du Mingxian walked over in a few steps to find someone. There were only two rooms available for people to stay in, and there was a person in each room, including Tao Qi, who was seriously injured last night.

She was a little disappointed, "The person ran away, so I went to cook."

Ling Silang nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought. When Du Mingxian went into the kitchen, he followed her in to help.

The two of them were busy preparing the meal, and it was an hour later before they were able to eat. The aroma of the food filled the entire courtyard.

Tao Qi's wife, standing outside the courtyard, took deep breaths, her eyes filled with regret. "I left in such a hurry that I forgot to hide the cured meat at home, and that woman cooked it all."
