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

"You...you're such an ugly monster." Feng Zhiyuan pointed a vicious finger at Du Mingxian, wishing he could devour her whole.

Du Mingxian flicked her sleeve and hurriedly ran outside.

As soon as Feng Zhiyuan saw the person leave, he ran two steps forward, then everything went black and he collapsed.

Du Mingxian went to the door, but the door was not opened. Instead, she went back to the incense burner, opened the lid, and found that the incense had already been placed inside, so she did not light it.

Just then, Chun Tao returned. She didn't bring any clothes and rushed in. When she saw the person on the ground, she was stunned for a moment, then looked at Du Mingxian and asked, "Miss, are you alright?"

"It's alright, smell this fragrance."

Chun Tao, being an expert, stepped forward and took a light sniff, saying, "This is an aphrodisiac."

Du Mingxian sneered, "I ordered it."

Chun Tao acted swiftly, lighting the incense immediately, and not forgetting to remind her, "Miss, this incense is very strong, we should leave quickly."

"Let's go, find someone else, otherwise the Feng family won't let this go."

"Yes."

As the two went outside, Du Mingxian heard someone coming from outside the courtyard, and they were walking very fast. She glanced at Chuntao and said, "Judging from the footsteps, it sounds like Wen Shiyan."

"Miss, you want to choose her?"

"Let's choose her, from the Wen family."

Chuntao asked, "What should Miss do?"

"Go outside now, and look ashamed and anxious. Wait for me outside in a bit."

"Yes."

Chun Tao ran out and bumped into Wen Shiyan, who was almost coming in. Wen Shiyan had come alone, so she was being careful. When she saw Chun Tao running over, she hurriedly hid.

After Chun Tao ran away, she couldn't hide her excitement and quietly went forward. She saw Du Mingxian push open the door and enter the house. She became even more excited and ran forward in small steps. Just as she was about to peek through the door, she heard a woman's voice coming from inside.

The sound was strange, so she pressed her ear closer to the door, and when it opened, she fell right in.

When Du Mingxian saw people come in, she stood behind the screen without moving.

Wen Shiyan was in excruciating pain and was afraid of being discovered, so she hurriedly explained, "I didn't come here on purpose. I was just worried about my sister, so I came to check on her."

No one answered her. She opened her eyes in a panic and saw Feng Zhiyuan lying on the ground. She immediately panicked.

She scrambled to her feet and rushed forward to check on him. Because of her nervousness, her breathing became even more rapid. When her hand touched Feng Zhiyuan's nose, she felt his breath was so cool and comfortable, and she couldn't help but want to get closer.

Du Mingxian quietly moved out from the other side of the screen. By the time she reached the door, Feng Zhiyuan on the ground had already been stripped of his clothes by Wen Shiyan. She quickly closed the door and slipped away.

She sneaked out and changed her clothes in the carriage outside before slowly leading Chun Tao inside.

Chuntao whispered, "Miss, since Feng Zhiyuan and the Second Miss's relationship is settled, you don't need to marry into the Feng family."

"But don't forget, the Wen family just got married to the third-ranked scholar. If bad news comes out now, such as wanting to break off the engagement, it will not be good for the Wen family's reputation."

"This... could it be that Miss is going to marry the third-ranked scholar? But isn't Miss's husband the second-ranked scholar?"

Du Mingxian didn't explain, but she was very happy. In order to prevent her subordinates from getting to know each other and getting involved in more complicated matters, this master basically maintained one-way communication, and each person's information was limited.

In this way, even if the government catches one person, it can only uncover one line of people, not others.

Because of this, Chun Tao, who was monitoring her, was unaware that her husband was actually a third-ranked scholar, which was also beneficial to her.

The two walked slowly and were unaware of what was happening behind them.

Not long after Du Mingxian left the guest courtyard, the maid who had taken her there secretly sneaked back. As a result, she heard a noise coming from inside the house, and she hurriedly ran to find Madam Feng.

This was arranged in advance.

When Madam Feng heard that things had gone well, she became anxious and hurriedly took her trusted head maid to the guest courtyard, intending to comfort Miss Wen after her son finished his business.

When something like this happens to a child, they will definitely want to tell their family. If the Wen family finds out, things will get complicated. It's best to appease them first.

Madam Feng sat outside the guest courtyard waiting. The commotion coming from inside was so loud that it made her blush, but since her son liked it, she could only accept it.

Du Mingxian felt that it was about time, so she returned to the flower courtyard and went to find Cheng Jinyun as soon as possible.

"Cousin, where is Shiyan?"

Cheng Jinyun was chatting with a few girlfriends when she saw Du Mingxian return after changing her clothes, which reminded her that Wen Shiyan had been gone for quite some time.

"She went looking for you, didn't you see her?"

"No, I went to the guest courtyard first, but Chun Tao didn't come back with the clothes, so I went to the carriage outside to change myself. I'm back now, but Shi Yan hasn't come back yet. I hope nothing has happened to her."

Cheng Jinyun wasn't worried about Wen Shiyan at first, but Du Mingxian's reminder made her a little flustered. "Let's go look for her."

When Du Mingxian saw that Cheng Jinyun was planning to have the two of them go look for the place, she immediately suggested, "Cousin, why don't we ask these noble ladies for help? The mansion is big, and we're not very familiar with it. More people means more help, right?"

“Okay.” Cheng Jinyun was genuinely worried that something might happen to Wen Shiyan, so she immediately called over several young ladies from prominent families with whom she had just chatted.

As soon as they moved, someone came forward to ask what had happened. Upon hearing that the second young lady of the Wen family was missing, everyone immediately agreed to search for her together.

After all, Miss Wen is the daughter of Minister Wen, so it's good to help her out in a small way so that she can remember this favor.

As the number of people increased, Du Mingxian suggested, "Why don't we go and take a look at the guest courtyard I was in earlier?"

"Okay."

Du Mingxian walked quickly, and the others followed suit. The women's journey to the guest courtyard alerted the men, and the young noblemen, who also enjoyed joining in the fun, quickly amassed a large crowd.

A large group of people walked towards the guest courtyard, but before they even arrived, they could see from afar that Madam Feng had a table moved to the entrance of the guest courtyard, on which tea was laid out, and she was leisurely drinking tea there.

This action was particularly strange. What respectable family would bring the table to the entrance of the guest room to drink tea? It was obviously suspicious.

Du Mingxian promptly reminded her, "When I came over just now, Madam Feng wasn't here. Why is she drinking tea here now?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a group of people approached.

Madam Feng was enjoying her drink when she turned around and saw a group of people walking towards her. Leading them were Cheng Jinyun and Du Mingxian. Upon seeing Du Mingxian, Madam Feng was stunned and instinctively exclaimed, "You... what are you doing here?"
