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

Madam Wen asked Du Mingxian to sit next to her, saying, "When you have nothing to do, come and keep this old woman company more often. You're such a quiet girl."

"Yes."

The Wen family did not have a strict rule about wakefulness or wakefulness, so Du Mingxian lived quite comfortably after arriving at the Wen family.

"The teaching will be held in your courtyard tomorrow, so you'll feel the liveliness. Jin Yun and the others will also be coming, but I'm afraid it might be too noisy for you," Madam Wen said with a smile.

Madam Wen waved her hand, "It's alright, having more children is good, it makes the yard more lively."

Lord Wen then spoke to Du Mingxian and Wen Shiyan, saying, "Your grandmother went to great lengths to invite the best governesses from the palace. You two must study hard to live up to her good intentions."

"Yes," they both replied in unison.

After a few more casual words, everyone went their separate ways.

Du Mingxian returned to her courtyard, ate dinner early, and then told her maids to go to rest, as she also wanted to sleep.

Hearing no movement from the courtyard, she hurriedly got up, stuffed a few pillows into the quilt, and quietly left the Wen family's house, heading towards Ling Silang's courtyard.

She hasn't slacked off in her martial arts practice these days, spending two hours each night in her spatial realm. Now, her lightness skill is quite proficient, making it relatively easy for her to evade patrols during curfew.

When she arrived outside Ling Silang's courtyard, she didn't rush in. Instead, she observed from the outside to make sure no one was there before quietly entering the main courtyard and slipping into the bedroom.

Upon hearing the commotion, Ling Silang immediately stood up. By the light from outside, he could only see a dark figure approaching. He coughed softly.

Du Mingxian felt relieved when she heard his voice. She took a few steps to stand in front of him, and in a quick transition, the two of them entered the space.

As the light changed from black to white, Ling Silang squinted uncomfortably.

"He looks a bit thinner," Du Mingxian commented from the side.

Ling Silang also looked her over, "You've lost some weight too."

"No, I'm doing fine at the Wen family's house." Du Mingxian said as she walked into the house, with Ling Silang following closely behind.

We washed two big apples, each of us took one, and sat down by the field to chat.

"After you left, I practiced martial arts. Later, they chose me to be the eldest daughter of the Wen family. The original owner of this body grew up in the countryside and should be dead."

"After arriving in the capital, I've been trying to find out more, but I haven't heard anything. Luckily, I ran into you today when I went to deliver food to Lord Wen."

Ling Silang's gaze was serious and focused. After a long while, he said, "They have always made me study. They found a lot of books and sent them to me, making me the person behind the scenes. Everything is arranged by them."

"Do you know who the mastermind is behind this?" Du Mingxian asked anxiously.

"We're still investigating, but it should be one of the princes."

Du Mingxian nodded, "I also have some suspicions, but we don't know exactly who it is yet."

"Yes, do they have people around you who can arrange for you to be with them?"

"Yes, there is a maid, and she even knows medicine."

Ling Silang tightened his grip on his lap. "Be careful around people like this."

"Yes, I've always made a point of maintaining a good relationship with her, but I've also been deliberately wary of her. Don't worry." Du Mingxian was quite curious. "Logically speaking, you're also someone they're grooming as a key figure. Haven't they assigned someone to your side?"

"It's been arranged. A person with excellent martial arts skills was sent away beforehand. When I saw you during the day, I knew you were coming at night, so I sent him away in advance."

Du Mingxian, who had been slouching on the recliner, sat up straight instantly. "So, we need to speak quickly, the person might be back soon?"

"Yes, but don't worry, I've been studying medicine recently, there'll be a way."

Du Mingxian wasn't worried about that. "We've been away for so long, have you sent any letters home? I'm really afraid they'll be anxious."

And there's her mother's place.

"Don't worry, after I came out of that valley, I found a way to send a message home to tell them that we went on a study tour, so they don't need to worry."

"That's alright, that's alright." She had been thinking about this issue for the past two days, wanting to meet with Ling Silang to discuss it, but she was afraid there might be some problems.

Ling Silang reassured her, "Don't worry, I'm very careful. The message won't be known by anyone else."

"That's good. I'll investigate the prince behind this again. The maid who follows me has feelings for the prince. We should be able to find something by following the clues, but we need an opportunity."

"Everything revolves around yourself."

"Don't worry." Du Mingxian waved her hand, looking relaxed. "Even if there's any danger, I can just hide in my spatial dimension. It'll be fine."

"By the way, you're the young lady the Wen family just found. I heard the Feng family and the Wen family have formed a marriage alliance?"

"Yes, this marriage was originally arranged for Young Master Feng and Miss Wen, but Young Master Feng died in an accident. Now there is only Young Master Feng. Wen Shiyan disagreed, so she brought back Miss Wen, who is me."

Ling Silang frowned and reached out to grab her hand. "I don't agree to you marrying someone else."

"Don't worry, I won't marry him. But I need to find an opportunity to let Wen Shifang have some fun first." Du Mingxian didn't pull her hand away; she was just trying to reassure him.

Ling Silang still disagreed, "Don't go too far, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it later."

"It's alright, at worst I'll just tell Lord Wen that I'm not his daughter."

Seeing that Du Mingxian was not behaving properly, Ling Silang asked, "Is there something you're hiding from me?"

"No."

"When you lie, you don't dare to look people in the eye."

Du Mingxian was defeated. "I was given a mission from above to steal a map of the border defense layout. When the mission was assigned, Lord Wen was not yet the Minister of War. The higher-ups told me to wait for news. Suddenly Lord Wen became the Minister of War. I have a feeling that the person behind him is very powerful."

She was very worried.

"Such a powerful person, with authority, connections, and brains, do you think the two of us can escape? Can we even defeat him?"

Ling Silang held her hand tightly and pulled it to his chest. He said very seriously, "If we want to, we can definitely do it, but we need to rely on external forces. We don't have the power."

"Yes, I'm definitely going to steal the border defense layout map, but I haven't figured out how yet."

Ling Silang pondered for a moment and then said, "This thing is definitely related to other countries. I'm afraid that some of the princes are in contact with other countries. If we're not careful, it could lead to war between the two countries."

"I know, but I'm determined to steal this." Whether it's real or fake... or whether there are any changes later, depends entirely on Master Wen's reaction.

"Take everything with caution. The task has just been assigned, so there's no rush to complete it. Let's wait and see."

“Yes, I understand.” After saying that, Du Mingxian stared at Ling Silang. “Wen Shiyan from the Wen family is really infatuated with you.”
