Chun Tao blushed and said, "I'm not worthy."

Du Mingxian stepped forward and took Chuntao's hand, looking like she was doing it for her own good, "There's no such thing as being a good match or not, it's just a matter of whether you're willing to work hard or not."

"Alright, we're so close, we'll be working together in the future. You help me investigate my husband's affairs, and I'll give you advice on how to win over your master."

Chun Tao shook her head without even considering it, "That won't do, Master is not someone I can covet."

"Oh well, I only told you this because you're my sister. If you don't want to, I won't force you."

Chun Tao didn't respond, and Du Mingxian didn't bring it up again; some things need to be done slowly.

"Then can you help me investigate my husband's affairs? My dear Chuntao." Du Mingxian said coquettishly, holding Chuntao's hand.

Chun Tao didn't want to help, but thinking of what Du Mingxian had said earlier, although she refused, she was still somewhat tempted. "Then... then okay, but I'm not sure I can find out."

"Okay, okay, as long as you help me investigate, I won't blame you. In fact, I'm very grateful. Please feel free to ask me for anything in the future."

Chuntao was waiting for this very sentence: "Alright then."

Just then, a voice came from outside, greeting, "Second Miss."

Du Mingxian climbed onto the bed as quickly as possible, and Chun Tao quickly sat down beside her.

Wen Shiyan entered at this moment, accompanied by two maids.

The room was quiet. Chun Tao quickly stepped forward to greet her, "Second Miss."

Wen Shiyan glanced at Chun Tao and said, "Go out. I have something to say to your master alone."

Chun Tao didn't move. "Second Miss, our young lady is delirious with fever. She probably won't be able to hear you if you speak now."

Wen Shiyan was very dissatisfied. She glanced at Chun Tao, said nothing more, and went to stand by the bed to look at Du Mingxian. She found that the person's face was very red from the fever, and it was clear that she was seriously ill.

"He's just unlucky. He's already causing trouble as soon as he got back. He's probably made himself sick."

Chuntao didn't say anything.

Wen Shiyan plopped down on the edge of Du Mingxian's bed. "You'd better wake up soon. The Feng family is getting impatient. Get well soon so you can marry into the Feng family as soon as possible."

She just received the news.

That纨绔 (playboy) from the Feng family has really gone too far this time. Not only did he keep a mistress outside, but she even had a child with him.

Thinking of this, she began to think that this bitch had come back and stolen her title as the eldest daughter of the Wen family, becoming the second daughter instead.

She even made her father dissatisfied with her mother. This wretched woman should be married off as soon as possible.

Seeing that she was getting bored talking to herself, Du Mingxian pretended to be confused and asked, "Marry someone? Marry what kind of person?"

When Wen Shiyan heard her speak, she was first startled, then smiled and explained, "My dear sister, Father arranged a marriage for you when you were little, and they're waiting to marry you."

"You must get well soon. The Feng family is quite good. Lord Feng is the most favored censor by the emperor. Ordinary families would not allow marriage between them."

"That's great," Du Mingxian muttered, then fell silent.

“That’s great. Your husband is very handsome and popular with people outside.”

Du Mingxian didn't reply, appearing to be asleep.

Before Wen Shiyan could say anything more, Madam Wen arrived. She glanced at her daughter first, then asked Chun Tao, "How is your master?"

"Madam, the fever is still high. The doctor has prescribed medicine, but there has been no improvement."

Madam Wen nodded gently, "Alright."

"Take good care of your master."

"Yes."

Madam Wen then looked at her daughter and said, "Let's go. Your elder sister is burning up. What are you doing here causing trouble?"

Wen Shiyan was very unhappy. "Mother, I didn't cause any trouble. I just told my sister about her marriage to the Feng family, and she was very interested and happy."

"Let's go." Madam Wen's tone was a bit harsher. She was both angry and helpless with this little girl.

Seeing that her mother was a little angry, Wen Shiyan didn't dare to say anything more and obediently got up and left with Madam Wen.

From beginning to end, after Madam Wen entered, she stood at the door, said a few words, and then left directly.

Du Mingxian opened her eyes and saw that the person had left. She was speechless. Wen Shiyan was too naive and was happy too soon.

Chuntao said, "Miss, it seems that Madam doesn't like you very much."

“My existence will make her never be able to hold her head up high, and she will always remember that she is just a second wife.”

outside.

Madam Wen gently tapped her little girl's head. "What can I say about you? Why did you come here? What are you trying to do?"

“Mother, I couldn’t help it. I was so happy when I thought about how Feng Er had a concubine outside the home, and that she had even given birth to his child.”

Madam Wen shook her head. "I've spoiled you. A young lady from a high-ranking official family has no shrewdness at all."

"Mother, with you here, what do I have to worry about? Whatever the problem is, you will solve it for me. I just need to be a good young lady."

Madam Wen disagreed, "What will you do after you marry into your husband's family? Do you think your mother can interfere in your husband's family affairs?"

Wen Shiyan shook her head, "What's so difficult about that? If all else fails, Mother can find me someone of low status but with talent, and that will solve the problem, right? I can still rely on the manor then, and I doubt the other party will dare to say anything."

"That's true, but we shouldn't tell her about the Feng family. What if she finds out about them after she comes back and doesn't want to marry them? What will we do then?"

Madam Wen had also considered it. The marriage had been arranged at the time, and the third son of the Feng family was also exceptionally outstanding. Who knew he would pass away so early?

The marriage with the Feng family couldn't just end like that; marrying their daughter to the second son of the Feng family was definitely not an option.

So the only thing to do is to bring Wen Huan back, and hopefully keep it quiet until it's done.

Wen Shiyan said confidently, "Mother, you're being too cautious. It's not a big problem. Wen Huan grew up in the countryside. What kind of trouble can she cause?"

“I’m worried that the Feng family won’t agree. The Feng family’s son is a womanizer, and Wen Huan’s face will be ruined. I’m also afraid that the Feng family will disagree and insist that you marry into their family. What will you do then?”

Wen Shiyan's heart skipped a beat. "Mother, what should we do? I really didn't expect this."

"Alright, things have come to this point, it's not a big problem anymore, but you have to watch your mouth and not say anything more, do you hear me, otherwise even if I wanted to save you, I might not be able to."

Wen Shiyan nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, Mother, I understand. But she had a high fever just now, so she probably didn't hear it."

"Her maid is still here."

"Just a little maid."
