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

They were all seriously injured, but the higher-ups didn't treat Du Mingxian and the others like human beings. They made them continue training the next day, giving them no chance to catch their breath.

Du Mingxian wasn't as angry as before. She was becoming more composed and hiding her true nature even more deeply. Only by disguising herself well could she wait for an opportunity to uproot him completely and avenge today's humiliation.

After the trial, their training became more and more intensive, but they were given a lot of medicine, all of it top-quality, in the hope that their injuries would heal as soon as possible.

Du Mingxian also received another task at the same time.

That day, their leader led Du Mingxian into a room where a man was sitting with his back to Du Mingxian and wearing a black cloak, so nothing could be seen from his face.

"Pick up the things on the table and take a good look at them. Remember what's on them. You will begin special training today."

Du Mingxian could tell from the voice that the man's voice was somewhat old and hoarse.

She stepped forward, picked up the items on the table, and glanced at them. She recognized them, but was even more alarmed. She could only suppress her nervousness and say, "I can't read."

"If you can't read, then learn."

Because she was illiterate, Du Mingxian's sleep time was repeatedly shortened. She had to listen to the teacher's lectures even during mealtimes, and her sleep time was even shorter, only one hour, or two hours.

After a month, Du Mingxian felt dizzy and overwhelmed. She had been learning too many different things, and the other person was practically cramming everything into her brain. She also had to keep up with her training.

When the month was up, someone tested her. In order to get an extra hour of sleep, she didn't hold back and performed exactly what she was good at.

With the ability to cheat and the nourishment of spiritual water, her memory and learning abilities are now exceptionally strong.

The assessment ended, and her performance was quite good. It was already mid-March, and she was anxious inside but appeared nervous on the outside.

Ling Silang is going to take the exam, which is still more than half a month away. He doesn't know what the result will be.

Because of her good behavior, she met an old woman that day who said, "Pack yourself up and come with me."

Du Mingxian felt she had nothing to pack, but since the other person said so, she went back to her room and tidied up a bit before following the old woman outside.

This time, the old woman took her out alone, and they went outside the valley, which made her even more puzzled.

Once outside, a young maid was already waiting. Upon seeing the two arrive, she respectfully bowed to the old woman before glancing at Du Mingxian and quickly looking away.

After descending the mountain, there were horse-drawn carriages on the road. The driver looked like an ordinary coachman, but Du Mingxian could tell that he was a trained martial artist.

The three were inside the carriage. The old woman stared at Du Mingxian and asked, "Have you remembered her background?"

"Yes."

She remembered it; the person in the background was somewhat pitiful. Her mother was from a wealthy family, but because her father was a scoundrel, after her mother died when she was young, he sent the little girl to live in their old home in the countryside.

They lived there for over ten years.

However... she didn't know why she was being asked to memorize all this; she couldn't very well ask her to impersonate someone, could she?

Upon considering this possibility, Du Mingxian's pupils dilated. She glanced at the old woman without making a sound, then silently looked away. As she looked away, she met the gaze of the maid sitting opposite her.

The old woman then spoke up, “The background you remember will be your background from now on. I’m sending you there now. Someone from the capital has already come to pick you up and take you back to the capital. Be prepared. Before you receive a mission from your master, just live your own life. After you receive a mission, find a way to complete it.”

"Yes." It was indeed an imposter.

She wanted to ask, "Where is Zhen Qianzhen?" but she didn't dare to ask.

The old woman pointed to the young maid, "This is Chun Tao. She knows some medicine. She will serve you and will become your head maid in the future. If there are any messages that are inconvenient for you, we will pass them on through Chun Tao."

Know medical skills.

Murder without a trace?

Du Mingxian instinctively became wary, but her face remained expressionless. "Yes."

The old woman rambled on for a while, but there were only three points to make.

First, you must obey your master's orders, no matter what they are. Be careful with your life, and don't forget that you are poisoned and need an antidote every month.

Second, now that you have a new identity and background, you should live a good life, not do anything outrageous, and abide by your duties. You don't need to worry about your new identity being exposed.

The village where the little girl lived was robbed by bandits, and everyone was killed. Only the little girl and Chun Tao survived in the cellar, but she lost her memory due to excessive fright.

Third, Chun Tao and she were not only mistress and servant, but also mutually monitored each other. They could communicate immediately if anything happened, and neither of them could betray the other.

Du Mingxian knew that assigning a maid to her side was no good.

And the background they arranged for her is just too coincidental; the bandits coming for revenge must have been these people.

After exchanging a few words with them at the beginning, the old woman remained silent, sitting quietly in the carriage, waiting to arrive at their destination.

Aside from eating and sleeping, they spent all their time traveling in the carriage.

Five days later, Du Mingxian was finally taken by the old woman to an extremely desolate village. She pointed to a courtyard on the side and said, "There is a cellar under that courtyard. You can stay here and wait. The people from the capital should arrive soon."

"Yes."

The old woman glanced at the two of them and left.

Before Du Mingxian could speak, Chuntao said, "Miss, please wait here for a moment while I clean up. Then you can go in."

Du Mingxian didn't move; she couldn't quite understand Chuntao.

This person was clearly sent by higher-ups to monitor me, so why is she actually willing to be a maid?

Chun Tao went inside, and Du Mingxian glanced at the village, feeling something was off about it, but she didn't think much of it and followed her into the courtyard.

Chun Tao quickly tidied up the master's room. "Miss, please sit down and rest. I'll go and tidy up right away."

“Chuntao,” Du Mingxian called out to her, “When it’s just the two of us, you don’t need to call me Miss. We are the same, serving the same master. There is no master and servant.”

Chun Tao nodded, "I understand what you mean, Miss, but we're about to return to the capital, and we'll encounter many people on the way. If we don't rehearse in advance, I'm afraid I'll give myself away in front of others."

Hearing that she had this concern, Du Mingxian simply didn't say anything and let Chuntao go about her business.

Chun Tao is truly capable. She quickly tidied up the yard and then went to cook a meal. The food was quite delicious, and she is truly an all-rounder.

Thinking of her omnipotence, she thought of her medical skills, and asked somewhat nervously, "Chuntao, how good are your medical skills? Are they exceptionally good?"

Chun Tao thought for a moment and shook her head, "It's alright, nothing particularly good. I'm lucky to have been chosen this time."
