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

In the courtyard, Du Mingxian and Ling Silang discussed their plans while eating.

"They've escaped; someone will probably come looking for us soon," Ling Silang speculated.

Du Mingxian stuffed a mouthful of rice into her mouth, chewed for a while, swallowed it, and then asked, "What do we do next? Should we rest for a few more days?"

"It might not work. We failed to keep the people in the yard under control last night, and they've already gone to report it today."

"Then we'll meet force with force and water with water."

"That's all we can do for now; we don't know if the other party is good or bad."

Du Mingxian's pupils contracted slightly as she thought of the people she had rescued, all of whom had died in the end. If she hadn't rescued them, they might have been tortured later, but they would most likely have survived.

So they all died because of her.

"Whether it's good or bad, it's hostile to us."

Seeing the hatred in her eyes, Ling Silang guessed something. "Then let's make them regret what they've done."

Du Mingxian suddenly remembered a news story from her past life: a person mistakenly joined an organization, and later, in order to take revenge, he endured hardship and bided his time, eventually climbing to the top and directly dismantling the entire organization.

Perhaps she could follow suit.

"Okay."

After the two finished their meal quietly, they lay down to rest in the courtyard. In the afternoon, Du Mingxian got hungry and went to cook again, with Ling Silang helping out as usual.

However, this time, someone arrived just as the meal was prepared.

The person who brought them here saw the two preparing to eat, as if they were in their own home, which felt strangely unsettling.

When Du Mingxian saw them, she said with a hint of regret, "Have you eaten yet? But there's nothing I can do if you haven't. The food I made is just enough for the two of us."

The newcomer's face was somewhat dark. "We told you to complete the mission, and this is how you complete it? You beat your own people half to death?"

"Huh?" Du Mingxian covered her mouth in shock. "Our own people? What do you mean, our own people? Do our own people have tasks to complete?"

"Isn't this the task you gave us? You just wanted us to get the stuff, but you didn't say this person was one of your own. That must be a misunderstanding."

Du Mingxian's exaggerated tone made the other person's face darken, and in the end, she could only sulk.

Du Mingxian and the other woman ate with ease. After slowly finishing their food, Du Mingxian looked up and asked, "Did you come here for something?"

"Third Master asked me to take you to see him."

Du Mingxian frowned, but said nothing.

After the two finished their meal, they followed the man and left. What happened in the Tao family's courtyard was none of their business.

This time, they still traveled by horse-drawn carriage. The carriage was already prepared after they left the village, but before getting on, the men had to blindfold them.

"Hey sir, why are you blindfolding us? Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"There's nothing wrong with it, hurry up and stop talking nonsense."

Du Mingxian silently wrote down the man's crimes in the little black book, then had him blindfold her before being helped onto the carriage, followed closely by Ling Silang.

The two sat quietly, but... Du Mingxian sensed three other breathing sounds in the carriage, so she didn't speak, but simply stayed close to Ling Silang.

The carriage had been running for a long time, so long that Du Mingxian felt like she was going to burst from holding her pee. She simply started shouting, "Can you stop so I can relieve myself? I've eaten too much and I'm about to burst."

There was no sound outside the carriage; no one answered, only the sound of the carriage moving forward.

"Hey, I told you to stop. I need to go to the outhouse, I need to relieve myself, I need to pee."

The man outside frowned upon hearing this, "Hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon."

"But I can't hold it in, I can't hold it in anymore."

"Even if you can't hold it in, you have to endure it."

Du Mingxian had never been so angry. She really needed to urinate, but this person wouldn't let her. Just wait, she'd remember this.

"I can't take it anymore. If you don't stop, I'm going to pee right in the carriage."

Those outside were stunned, completely unexpected that Du Mingxian would say such a thing: "It's a small matter that you peed in the carriage, but you also peed on yourself."

"I can't help it, I can't hold it in anymore. You want me to see this Third Master again? I'll just choke him to death in a minute."

Helpless, the person in front stopped the carriage and grabbed Du Mingxian's arm roughly, "Get down."

Du Mingxian got out of the car immediately, saying, "Quick, I really need to pee."

The man didn't untie her eyes, but instead untied the ropes binding her hands, helped her forward, and walked to a distance from the carriage. "Alright, you can relieve yourself now."

"This... I don't know what's going on here either. You're a man and you haven't left. I'm a little confused."

"Either you pee your pants, or you stop whining and go right here."

"Then...then move away a bit, I need to relieve myself."

The man was truly annoyed by Du Mingxian, so he finally let go, not forgetting to urge her, "Hurry up."

Du Mingxian slowly squatted down. She had calculated the time and knew it should be dark outside by now, so she quietly pushed the strip of cloth up a little bit. By the moonlight, she could see that they were indeed in the middle of nowhere.

She glanced around quickly, and seeing that no one was there, she hurriedly relieved herself.

After relieving herself and getting dressed, she quietly straightened herself up; the strips of cloth showed tiny gaps.

"Okay, I'm all better now."

The man quickly stepped forward, checked the cloth covering her eyes, and then led her back to the carriage, which then started moving again.

It was getting bumpier and bumpier, like we were on a narrow path that was not easy to walk on at all.

A long time passed, and Du Mingxian saw the time in her spatial dimension: three o'clock at night. They were all forced off the carriage and their bodies were tied up.

"Let's all go."

Du Mingxian was in front of Ling Silang, and there were others behind her. She could only see darkness, as if they had entered the forest.

Because my eyes were blocked, I walked very slowly.

As dawn broke, they still hadn't reached their destination.

"Alright, let's rest here for an hour before continuing."

Their bodies were not untied, and each of them was bound by the hawthorns on the candied hawthorn skewers, so they could only rest on the spot.

Du Mingxian felt a little sleepy and hungry after sitting down, but she didn't complain. The situation was still unclear, so she could endure the hunger.

Ling Silang moved closer to her, "Lean on me and rest for a while."

"it is good."

Ling Silang leaned against a tree, Du Mingxian was in Ling Silang's arms, and there were people sitting next to them.

As soon as the allotted time was up, they were woken up and told to keep walking.

They walked for a very long time, and Du Mingxian felt extremely thirsty. She hadn't had a drop of water since leaving the courtyard. The sun had already set, and they were still walking, but their pace was getting slower and slower.

"Just a few more steps forward, and we'll be there soon."
