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

Cheng Jinyun tried to reason with him for a long time but couldn't get through to him, so she could only leave in a huff.

Du Mingxian's days have been relatively smooth lately, and Madam Wen doesn't dare to come and cause trouble. After all, Wen Shiyan's matter is troublesome enough, and recently the second Madam Wen has been in charge of managing the household.

Madam Wen was focused on preparing her daughter's dowry.

A month and a half has passed since the incident involving the Feng family, and the matter has been settled.

The Wen family announced that the second daughter would marry into the Feng family, while the eldest daughter would marry into the Qi family, since it was the eldest daughter who threw the purse to Qi Ji back then.

The matter was resolved smoothly just like that.

Just when Du Mingxian thought everything was fine, Chuntao brought back news that Wen Shiyan was pregnant.

"The master and the others know about this, and the Feng family knows about it too."

"It's a good thing."

For someone like Feng Zhiyuan, since Wen Shiyan was destined to marry him, it would be much easier for her to marry him while pregnant and have a son.

"The household is currently discussing what excuse to use to bring their wedding forward."

It's a quick and easy way to have a wedding to ward off bad luck.

Du Mingxian truly admired Chuntao; her information network was incredibly efficient.

The two had barely finished speaking when news arrived less than an hour later that the old lady of the Feng family was ill and requested that Feng Zhiyuan get married as soon as possible to bring good luck.

The two families set a time in just one hour, which shows that the Feng family was really anxious.

Feng Zhiyuan was still in the lap of luxury when the housekeeper and his men carried him back home. When he woke up from his drunken stupor, he was surprised to find himself in his own room.

"How did you get back, young master?"

"Young master, something has happened at home. You'd better sober up quickly. The master is waiting for you in the study," the servant reported.

Feng Zhiyuan frowned. "Change my clothes. Has something happened at home? Why is my father in such a hurry to find me?"

"Young master, please go and take a look. I don't know either." It wasn't that he didn't know, but that he dared not say.

Feng Zhiyuan immediately changed his clothes and went there, only to hear that he and that crazy woman Wen Shiyan had to get married ahead of schedule because the crazy woman was pregnant.

She was already unwilling to marry him, and now that it's happening so soon, she's quite unhappy.

"I won't marry her. The agreed-upon date is already fast enough. Now they want to move it forward? Isn't this just child's play?"

"Child's play? Now you know it's child's play? Where were you before? Why didn't you think of it as child's play when you were using these tricks?"

Feng Zhiyuan was furious at the thought of those medicines. Just as he was about to speak, Lord Feng said, "Wen Shiyan is pregnant, which is a good thing. So your grandmother will pretend to be sick so that you can come and bring good luck. This way, you two can get married ahead of schedule, which will be perfectly legitimate."

Feng Zhiyuan felt a surge of resentment, a deep resentment.

How did things turn out like this? His mother and family had warned him repeatedly that once he got married, he was not allowed to go out and fool around.

They already had few good days to begin with, and now it's happening even earlier, all because of that ugly freak from the Wen family.

Originally, the marriage between Feng and Wen was supposed to be called off, but it was all because of that ugly woman who appeared, which led to this whole mess. If it weren't for that ugly woman, he wouldn't have asked to marry a Wen family girl.

Yes, it's all because of that ugly guy.

Thinking this, Feng Zhiyuan became even angrier. He immediately agreed to Lord Feng's request and left the Feng residence first, thinking that he had to settle accounts with Wen Choubaguai no matter what.

Although Du Mingxian had spoken up with Lord Wen, she still brought him food, though she would occasionally enter his study now.

This can be considered progress.

She went to deliver things again today, but this time she was accompanied by Lian'er.

Chun Tao told her today that she had something to do and wanted to ask for leave, which she granted. Ke'er had a bit of an upset stomach today, so in the end only Lian'er went to the Ministry of War with her.

After delivering the items to Lord Wen and his servant, she turned and walked back with Lian'er.

June is a bit hot, but today it was cloudy and the weather wasn't stuffy at all; in fact, it was quite comfortable. She didn't want to take a carriage, so she just took Lian'er and headed back.

Walking down the street, she wandered aimlessly, wondering where Chun Tao could go today.

As she walked, she saw a newly opened pastry shop with a queue ahead. It smelled delicious, and she wanted to try some.

"Lian'er, go buy some."

"Miss, you're all alone, perhaps..."

"Go ahead, your young lady is fine. I'll just wander around outside for a bit and then head straight back to the manor. Your queue might be slow, so just go straight home after you buy what you need."

Lian'er wanted to persuade her, but considering her mistress's stubborn temper, she didn't say anything more and immediately went to queue up.

Du Mingxian strolled forward alone, and as she walked, she encountered Wen Yibin, who was standing in front of her in an official robe.

"Uncle."

"What are you thinking about, so absorbed?"

"It's nothing. Is Uncle on official business? I'll head back now."

"It's all done. Wait a moment, I have something for you."

My brother is really something. He clearly wanted the scar removal cream, but he insisted on having me deliver it to someone else.

Seeing that Yi Bin had said a few words to the people around him and that they had left, Du Mingxian said, "Let's go, let's go back together."

Wen Yibin was quite curious when he saw that she didn't have any maids with her. "Where are your maids? Why are you all alone?"

"One took leave, one had an upset stomach, and the other I asked to queue up there to buy pastries."

Wen Yibin said, "Then pick two more later, so we don't run out of people to serve us."

"That's enough. Sometimes it's just a special case, and I can take care of myself."

Just as Wen Yibin was about to speak, Du Mingxian's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she suddenly reached out and pushed Wen Yibin aside. She then bent over and turned around, her movements incredibly smooth.

An arrow slid right past Du Mingxian.

If Du Mingxian hadn't pushed Wen Yibin away, she would have been facing his heart, and she would have been injured too.

However, Du Mingxian reacted quickly, and both of them were unharmed.

The atmosphere instantly became tense. Wen Yibin asked Du Mingxian nervously, "Are you alright?"

"Uncle, hurry up!" Du Mingxian was extremely anxious and turned to run.

When Wen Yibin saw someone approaching, he originally wanted to confront them head-on, but then he remembered that civilians might come out at any moment, so he immediately grabbed Du Mingxian's sleeve and ran to a deserted place.

The two ran to an abandoned courtyard and were immediately surrounded by ten men in black.

Wen Yibin asked in a low voice, "Is this revenge against you, or against me?"

“Yours,” Du Mingxian said with great certainty. “I am just a simple woman, and I have not provoked anyone. Why would they seek revenge against me?”

Wen Yibin thought about it and agreed, but looking at these people, he was unsure of himself. "How are your skills? Don't hold back when the fight starts."

Du Mingxian was speechless. What kind of time is this to be acting like this?

The men in black who surrounded them didn't waste any words and went straight for the two of them. However, Du Mingxian's side clearly had more men than Wen Yibin's.
