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

Du Mingxian: "..." I understand if you don't like me, but you can't make things up out of thin air, can you? How did I cause trouble? What trouble did I cause?

"Yes." She was unhappy inside, but she still had to agree on the surface. After saying that, she turned around and left.

That old lady is really stupid.

After everyone left, Old Madam Wen turned to Lord Wen and asked, "Are you really not going to think of a solution for Shiyan's matter? Are you just going to let the child marry into that family like this?"

“Mother, there is no other way to resolve this matter. It just so happens that the marriage agreement between the Feng family and the Wen family needs someone to fulfill it. We have raised Shiyan since she was a child, and it is time for her to repay the Wen family.”

Hearing this, Madam Wen frowned. "She's your own daughter, and this is how you treat her?"

Lord Wen did not answer Madam Wen's question. Instead, he said thoughtfully, "Mother, I have been thinking about a question these days. When Cheng Yu miscarried, Huan'er was the only child in the pavilion. Did she really have so many tricks up her sleeve that she could push Cheng Yu to miscarry?"

"Are you suspecting Cheng Yu is lying? How could she possibly use her own unborn child to frame a child? Do you remember that what came out was a fully formed male fetus, your own son?" Old Madam Wen was trembling with anger.

The thought of this still makes me extremely sad. "If only that child were alive, there would be no need to elevate a son born out of wedlock to the status of a legitimate son. Have you ever thought about this carefully?"

"Could it be that now that Huan'er is back in the manor and brings you food every day, you've softened and are thinking about what happened back then? You wouldn't be thinking that Cheng Yu wronged Huan'er back then, would you?"

Lord Wen nodded slightly, "I didn't have this suspicion before, but now I suspect it is."

Madam Wen turned to look at Lord Wen in shock, "You...you...how could you have such a thought?"

Lord Wen remained silent, while Wen Yibin sighed deeply. "Mother, all these years, you never thought that Shiyan doesn't look like my eldest brother."

“It’s normal for a daughter to resemble her mother. Just because she looks more like her mother doesn’t mean you should doubt that she’s not a child of the Wen family.”

“Mother, it’s not a suspicion, it’s what I found out. My sister-in-law has had a lover for many years, and they’ve been seeing each other all these years. And… Shiyan looks like that man.” Wen Yibin took all the blame upon himself.

Madam Wen's pupils dilated, her heart raced, and her lips trembled uncontrollably. "Yi Bin, what did you say? Did I hear that right?"

Wen Yibin looked at Madam Wen very seriously and said, "Mother, you heard me right. Shiyan is not my eldest brother's child. Moreover, my sister-in-law has been in contact with that lover all these years. Therefore, we suspect that the child in my sister-in-law's belly back then was not my eldest brother's child."

"So he had to use Huan'er to frame her and make her miscarry."

Madam Wen felt dizzy and her ears started ringing. She couldn't hear anything. She couldn't believe it was real. "How could this be... how could this happen?"

“Mother, we are still investigating this matter, but Shiyan is not my eldest brother’s. The Wen family raised Shiyan, and now that Shiyan is married into the Feng family, it can be considered that she has repaid our kindness in raising her.”

Madam Wen didn't want to say anything at the moment, and even felt a little uncomfortable. Thinking about what she had done for Cheng Yu, she broke out in a cold sweat.

Lord Wen noticed that something was wrong with Old Madam Wen and hurriedly stepped forward to comfort her, "Mother, what she did was her own business and has nothing to do with you. Don't overthink it."

"Yi Cheng, I..." Old Madam Wen felt a bitter taste in her mouth, unable to say some of her words.

Seeing this, Wen Yibin didn't know what else to say. "Mother, things have already come to this. Let my eldest brother handle it from now on. Please don't interfere anymore."

"Fine." Madam Wen's voice was hoarse, and she felt resentment towards her elder brother. How could her niece from her own family do such a thing and let her son down?

Lord Wen instructed, "Mother, Cheng Yu doesn't know yet, but we already know about her. Please don't let this slip."

Okay, I know, I know.

Wen Yibin thought to himself, "If Mother is afraid of not doing things well, she should simply claim to be ill and refuse to see anyone."

Madam Wen, who had been sitting very straight, was now bent over. "Alright, I know. You must find out the truth about Yi Bin's matter."

"Yes."

Her two sons tried to comfort her, but she didn't listen much. She simply waved them away and sat alone for half the night. She fell ill the next day.

When Du Mingxian woke up, she heard Ke'er say, "The old lady is sick. I heard it's because of the second young lady. The second young lady doesn't want to marry into the Feng family. The old lady loves the second young lady the most."

Du Mingxian didn't think so. Even if Old Madam Wen doted on her granddaughter, she certainly wouldn't let her son get away with it. "In the past, in situations like this at home, shouldn't we send something over?"

"That's how it should be, but this time it's a bit strange. News came from the old lady's courtyard that no one is being seen. The second madam sent some things over this morning, but the old lady's courtyard didn't accept them."

Du Mingxian nodded thoughtfully, "Then forget it, just keep an eye on what's going on over there."

"Yes."

Du Mingxian thought to herself that it must be because Lord Wen told Madam Wen about Madam Wen's affair and that Wen Shiyan was not a member of the Wen family that Madam Wen shut herself away from home.

Madam Wen is the old lady's niece from her maternal family.

It has to be said that she guessed very well.

The day after Old Madam Wen claimed to be ill and did not come out, Du Mingxian received an order from Madam Wen's side: Madam Wen wanted to take Wen Shiyan to the estate for a few days to relax, and Du Mingxian was to go with her.

Du Mingxian knew that Madam Wen was about to take action. Madam Wen had given the order directly, without giving her a chance to choose.

Upon receiving the news, Du Mingxian quickly tidied up the courtyard and waited at the mansion gate early the next morning.

Before she left, she made a special trip to Lord Wen's courtyard. It happened to be a day off, and Lord Wen was home.

"Father, your daughter has come to pay her respects."

When Madam Wen sent the message to Du Mingxian, Lord Wen already knew. Now that he saw Du Mingxian had come over specifically, he couldn't help but laugh and told everyone he met.

"Go with peace of mind, everything has been arranged."

"Thank you, Father. Then I will go to the estate with Madam."

"Ah."

Du Mingxian bowed and left, with Chun Tao following behind, somewhat surprised. "Miss, the master said everything was arranged. What did he mean by 'arranged everything'?"

“We’re going to stay at the estate for a while, so the estate must have made all the arrangements.”

Chun Tao had her suspicions, but since Du Mingxian didn't seem to notice anything unusual, she didn't say anything more.

Du Mingxian breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chun Tao didn't ask any more questions. She was afraid that this person would press for details. That night, the operation was carried out at night, and Lord Wen came to the courtyard quietly. Chun Tao knew nothing about it.
