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

Du Mingxian hadn't thought much of it at first, but when Ling Silang mentioned it, she was instantly stunned. "You...you mean, the Wen family knows I'm not the real Wen Huan?"

"I guessed it. When I was chatting with Wen Yibin, I felt that what he meant was, 'You need to test this matter a little more.'"

Du Mingxian paced back and forth twice before saying, "The only people who know that I am not the real Wen Huan are Lord Wen and the Wen Yibin brothers. No one else knows."

"If Lord Wen really knows that I am not Wen Huan, then my recent behavior of running around delivering food should have aroused his suspicion. As expected of an official, I did not show it at all."

Seeing that she was a little anxious, Ling Silang reached out and pulled her down to sit before saying, "Think about it carefully. Maybe this isn't a bad thing. You have Chun Tao by your side. Maybe you're just a smokescreen. Chun Tao is the one who will ultimately complete the mission."

"Yes, that's what I think too, but we don't know which prince is behind us yet, so it's not good to make a move rashly. That's the most troublesome thing."

Du Mingxian pondered for a moment and said, "If Lord Wen knew that I wasn't the real Wen Huan, do you think I could cooperate with him?"

"This matter requires careful consideration. I will inquire further about Lord Wen's character. We can discuss this matter again next time. Although you know about it, do not show it. Right now, we need to deal with the Feng family's affairs."

Du Mingxian was speechless when she thought about this. "You said the Feng family are imperial censors, historians, why do they insist on marrying into the Wen family? It's quite strange."

“I have indeed inquired about this matter; it was decided by the older generation.”

"Come and tell me."

Ling Silang explained to her in detail, "The father of Imperial Censor Feng and the father of Lord Wen were both Jinshi (successful candidates in the highest imperial examinations) in the same year. After they met in the capital, they found that their temperaments were quite compatible, so they became very close."

"The two were appointed to official posts in the same year and maintained contact throughout. Later, when their official positions were promoted, they were transferred to the same post—one as a prefect and the other as a sub-prefect—and their relationship grew even closer."

"At that time, the Wen family wasn't as well-off as the Feng family, and the Feng family was better off. The Feng family's father also held a higher official position. The Feng family's father returned to the capital first. The Wen family's father was worried that the distance between the two families would cause their relationship to weaken, so he also wanted to come to the capital. Later, they agreed to get married."

"The marriage was arranged, and children were born one after another, but they were all boys. Lord Wen's father also went to the capital and became an official there, but the marriage between the two families has not been called off."

"Since all the boys in Lord Wen's generation were unable to marry, the marriage arrangement was passed down to the next generation. However, this matter has not been brought up for a long time."

"As the children grew up, Lord Wen also took a liking to the youngest son of the Feng family. He thought he was a talented person, so he arranged a marriage between him and Wen Shiyan, which fulfilled the long-cherished wish of the two elders."

"It's a good thing, but the Feng family was unlucky. It's possible that the heavens were jealous of their talent. The youngest son of the Feng family died while he was studying away from home, even though his marriage had already been arranged."

"Lord Wen did not want to be a treacherous person at this time, so the marriage agreement continued. He originally wanted Wen Shiyan to marry Feng Zhiyuan."

"Neither Madam Wen nor Wen Shiyan wanted to marry him. Feng Zhiyuan had a particularly bad reputation, and few families in the capital wanted to marry their daughters to him. In the end, Madam Wen thought of Wen Huan, who had been sent to the countryside."

Du Mingxian understood. "No wonder the Feng family and the Wen family would form a marriage alliance. This was something that happened before, so it's normal for the two families to form a marriage alliance."

"Yes, that's how it seems on the surface, but it's hard to say what happens behind the scenes."

Du Mingxian blinked. "Forget it, no matter what the two families think, Wen Shiyan was supposed to marry into the Feng family anyway, so let her go."

Ling Silang spoke up to remind her, "You need to protect yourself first. I don't want to see you marry someone else. If that happens, I won't care."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I definitely won't."

Ling Silang said, "If you send me out of the space, I'll give you something."

"Oh."

Du Mingxian saw him out, and then she saw him take out a small bundle from the corner of the bed. The two of them went back into the space.

"what is this?"

"Here are some medicines for you."

Du Mingxian stared at Ling Silang in shock, "You...you've only been studying medicine for a short time, and you already know how to prepare medicine?"

"I have to thank you for giving me the ability to remember everything I see. Now I can learn without any difficulty. I've been researching this recently, and I've even tried the medicine I made. It works fine."

"Although I studied medicine, I can only prescribe some simple medicines now, and I'm not good at treating patients."

Du Mingxian gave him a thumbs up, "You're already very good."

"The usage instructions are written inside. Go back and find an opportunity to read them slowly in your space. I'm always worried about you having a poison expert like Chun Tao by your side. You must be careful in everything you do."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I know."

So many days have passed, and she has not squandered the spiritual water in her space. Now she can still collect a bowl of water every month. She has already carefully collected them together, so it won't be a problem in an emergency.

After they had finished talking, Ling Silang, worried about her safety on the way back, urged her to leave.

After watching the person leave, Ling Silang sat in the house worrying again.

After quietly returning to her room, Du Mingxian went straight to sleep. She also glanced at the medicine Ling Silang had given her; some were commonly used, while others contained simple poisons and antidotes.

I have to say, this man is quite considerate.

The next day, Du Mingxian went to deliver meals to Lord Wen as usual. This time, she was more careful and brought Chun Tao along, but she also brought Ke'er and Lian'er with her.

I used to bring Ke'er alone every time I went.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Ministry of War, Du Mingxian still troubled the guard at the gate to go in and inform Lord Wen's servant to come out and get some food. However, the guard told her to go in by herself.

"Is it really appropriate for me to go in?" Du Mingxian said, looking conflicted.

Xiao Bing waved his hand, "Miss Wen, just go in. You come here every day, we've known each other for a long time."

Sometimes, when Du Mingxian made extra pastries, she would share some with the soldier who always helped pass on messages at the door, and sure enough... the benefits came immediately.

Before Du Mingxian could speak, Chuntao became anxious, "Miss, since we can go in, why don't we send the food in?"

Du Mingxian knew that Chuntao was anxious, but before she could speak, Ke'er said from the side, "Master eats the meals that Miss sends every day. Now that Miss can go in, Master will definitely be even happier."

"Then let's go in." Du Mingxian seemed to have been persuaded by them and led the three of them inside.

A soldier led the way for them.

Du Mingxian didn't look around when she entered the room, and kept her eyes straight ahead without glancing to the side. However, she could sense that the breathing of the three people behind her was not quite right.

Chun Tao's breathing was noticeably labored, Ke'er's breathing was somewhat... disordered, while Lian'er's breathing was the most normal.
