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

"You know how to make drugs?"

Chun Tao pondered for a moment before saying, "I know a little, but not very well." Seeing Du Mingxian's eager expression, she quickly added, "Don't expect me to be able to concoct an antidote for you."

"I can't do it. I can't concoct it at all. The poison you're taking was all concocted by my master himself."

Seeing her frightened expression, Du Mingxian could only keep her mouth shut. It seemed that she really had no other choice and could not take any shortcuts.

"No, what I wanted to talk about wasn't my own poison. I just wanted to ask you how effective your poison is. Didn't you hear what the old woman who brought us here said? We're going to the capital soon. I'm afraid I won't be able to survive in the grand mansions, so I thought of this extreme method."

Upon hearing this, Chun Tao breathed a long sigh of relief. "Don't worry, I will help you. Although my medical and poison skills are not that great, most doctors are no match for me."

Du Mingxian was even more confused. Was it because the doctor's skills were good or bad?

However, before getting to know her better, it's essential to build a good relationship with Chun Tao. If this woman gets ruthless and tries to harm you, things won't be fun.

"Okay, okay, then I'll have to trouble you from now on."

"No trouble."

Even after leaving the valley, Du Mingxian did not slack off in her training. She continued to practice diligently, especially in light-body skills. It was during these days of training that she realized where her weaknesses lay.

Having this opportunity to learn is a good thing.

"By the way, I heard that even if we go to the capital, you still can't slack off in your training. You'll still be given tasks, and you'll have to rely on your own practice to get back to the top."

"Okay, okay." Du Mingxian herself had no intention of slacking off.

After traveling for several days, Du Mingxian finally got a good night's sleep that night. She didn't have to worry about being summoned for training at any time. Although the village was strange, it was still a relatively safe environment.

The next day, Du Mingxian wanted to help, but Chuntao wouldn't let her, telling her to just rest.

After waiting for four days, the people from the capital finally arrived, and... only an old woman came with a coachman. When the old woman entered the courtyard, she was arrogant and looked down on everyone.

Du Mingxian knew at a glance that this old woman was no good, so she simply ignored her and looked down at the book in her hand. The cover of the book was the Analects of Confucius, and the contents were... a drawing book.

On the third day after arriving here, having waited for no one from the capital to come, she got bored and dragged Chun Tao to town to buy some things.

She was looking intently at the moment, as if she hadn't seen the old woman who had suddenly barged in.

Chun Tao came out immediately, her face full of wariness, "Who are you?"

“I am a servant girl in the household of Madam Zhu in the capital.”

Chun Tao, her face a mixture of nervousness and excitement, ran straight to Du Mingxian's side, "Miss, Miss, Master has finally sent someone to pick us up and take us back to the manor!"

Du Mingxian felt that Chuntao was actually a drama queen, but she still cooperated and asked, "What do you mean? I don't remember."

Chun Tao awkwardly explained to the old woman standing to the side, "As you know, Miss was frightened and her memory is not complete right now. She doesn't remember Master and the others."

The old woman saw Du Mingxian as soon as she came in. She was amazed at first sight, but when she put down her book and got closer, she saw the ugly scar on Du Mingxian's face and couldn't help but frown.

Miss looks beautiful like this, but this place being destroyed... well, it's a good thing, Madam will be very happy to know.

"Yes, the master and mistress of the manor already know about this." The old woman held her position high, looked up at Chun Tao, and instructed her, "Alright, now go and pack up for the young lady, we're leaving."

"Yes." Chun Tao went to tidy up.

Actually, there wasn't much to pack. They came without any money; they were only given a little bit of silver to buy two sets of spare clothes. That was all.

This person came quickly and left quickly.

When Chun Tao helped Du Mingxian into the carriage, the old woman was already sitting in the main seat, not in the side seat.

Du Mingxian didn't intend to cause trouble. Since the other party was already seated, she didn't say anything and sat down to the side. The old woman was very satisfied to see that she was obedient and didn't say anything. She held her head high and looked down on people.

When Chuntao came up and saw this, she didn't say anything.

The carriage was completely silent. Du Mingxian closed her eyes to rest as soon as she got in, but her attention was actually on the space. Since she had nothing to do, it was good to cultivate the plants in the space.

Now that the plants no longer need the spiritual water to nourish them, their growth time is halved compared to the outside world, which is quite satisfying.

What takes three months to mature can be accomplished in just one and a half months in this space.

Seeing that Du Mingxian kept her eyes closed, Chunhua quietly turned around and closed her eyes as well.

The old woman remained composed, expecting Du Mingxian to come and beg her to speak, to flatter her, but nothing happened. There was no movement around her, and when she opened her eyes, she saw... both Du Mingxian and Chunhua with their eyes closed.

This is simply... this is simply ignoring her.

"Cough, cough..." The old woman coughed several times, but Du Mingxian and the other woman remained unresponsive, like dead people.

Finally, when the old woman could no longer cough, Du Mingxian slowly opened her eyes and asked, "When you came, did Madam bring any money with her?"

The old woman didn't react for a moment, and just nodded blankly.

Du Mingxian called out to the coachman outside, "Go to the front and buy another carriage."

"Are you crazy? Why are you buying a horse-drawn carriage?"

Did she even know how much a carriage cost? Yet she dared to decide to buy one.

The old woman was so angered by Du Mingxian's behavior that she felt the woman was either stupid or insane.

Du Mingxian turned around and stared at her with her innocent big eyes. After a long while, she said, "You keep coughing. You're obviously quite sick. The carriage is so small. I can feel your saliva spraying out all the time."

“Of course we should buy another carriage so you can ride alone and prevent Chun Tao and me from getting infected by you.”

The old woman was doing it on purpose; she wasn't really sick. Now that Du Mingxian had rebuked her, she seemed ignorant and could only awkwardly smile and say, "Miss, the madam gave us the money for emergencies, not for us to buy things casually."

Du Mingxian looked at the old woman deeply, remained silent, turned her head, and closed her eyes.

The old woman was stunned, unable to recall for a long time what she had done to offend Du Mingxian. She only felt that this young lady did things without any rhyme or reason.

"Miss, please don't be angry. This old servant just had a sore throat, so I coughed a couple of times."

Du Mingxian turned around and looked at the old woman with a good temper, "In that case, please drink more water. We were quite worried when we heard you were coughing so hard your lungs were about to come out."

"Yes, yes, Miss is right."

After this incident, the old woman dared not try any more tricks, but she was still angry and her face turned pale. She looked at Du Mingxian with increasing disgust.
