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

“Yes, if they sent out a ninth-class soldier today, then we will encounter someone even more skilled next, until they complete their mission.”

"The Killing Pavilion has a rule: once a job is accepted, it must be completed. If it's just a ninth-grade job, they will ask the other party for money. Once the money is added, someone will come to kill you."

Du Mingxian felt awkward and uncomfortable. "Uncle, I'm someone who just arrived in the capital and doesn't know anything. Who would I be blocking, or who would hate me so much that they want to kill me?"

Does Wen Shiyan have that much money?

Given Wen Huan's status, it seems she only ever made Wen Shiyan unhappy; she really didn't offend anyone else.

Wen Yibin did not answer, so Du Mingxian hurriedly asked, "The rules of the Killing Pavilion are so strange. If the other party wants to kill in one blow, they will definitely give a lot and directly invite experts over."

"Since the other party is offering so little, it's obvious they don't have enough money, or they're short of funds. In this situation, and with such a formidable opponent, if the members of the Killing Pavilion fail to complete their mission and go to the other party to ask for more money, do you think they'll actually get any?"

"Moreover, those people at the bottom lost their lives for nothing. No matter how you look at it, the rules of the Killing Pavilion are very strange."

Wen Yibin hadn't expected Du Mingxian to analyze things so thoroughly. He had thought about this before, but only people with some status within the Killing Pavilion would know why there was such a strange rule.

"They're after you, and they'll be sending more people. You'd better not go out for the time being."

Du Mingxian wanted to say that you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days, but when she saw Wen Yibin staring intently at her, she swallowed the words she was about to say and was too embarrassed to say anything else.

"OK then."

I can only cook the food during the day and send someone to deliver it, but... I can't let Chun Tao interfere. I still need to go see Lord Wen tonight, and it would be best if he sent someone to the courtyard to pick it up himself.

"Uncle, I haven't offended anyone since I came back. If I had to pick one or two, it would only be Sister Shiyan and Madam."

Wen Yibin was the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, so he was naturally not stupid. He had thought about many things long before the incident occurred, including Wen Shiyan and Madam Wen.

"I will send someone to investigate this matter. You just need to stay at home and not worry about anything lately."

"Yes."

Du Mingxian wanted to investigate, but she needed the ability to do so. Forget it, let Wen Yibin investigate first; he was also a semi-participant in this matter.

Wen Yibin stared intently at her without saying a word. Du Mingxian looked up at him in surprise and asked, "What's wrong, Uncle?"

Are you afraid when you're facing those people?

Du Mingxian froze. Was she scared?

I had never faced such a scene in my first life, so I didn't know what fear was. In my second life, I was afraid, especially when I first started training.

They become assassins by being ruthless, fast, and capable of killing.

The first time, they were all children, placed in a large playground with about a hundred people. But then... the order came down that only half of them would stay, and the other half would have to die.

If you want to survive, you have to be ruthless.

She was terrified then; these were living, breathing lives, and the organization treated them like ants.

She was thin and small, and afraid that others would surround her and kill her, so she was terrified. The more afraid she was, the calmer her face became, and she even stared at the people on the playground.

They used to be training partners and friends, but now everyone around her is wary of each other. That was also the first time in her two lives that she had killed someone.

When faced with life-threatening situations, if you're willing to risk everything, so is he. The opponent is tough, and neither will give way to the other; in fact, they're both ruthless.

It was extremely intense. She was a woman, and very thin and small, so many people came specifically for her.

Fortunately, she had also transmigrated to that world, so she still had the memories of her previous life, and she had the drive and ruthlessness to survive to the end.

Thinking back to those scenes now, she feels that all she remembers is blood and blood, and she doesn't recall much else.

She must have used up all the fear she had accumulated over three lifetimes by that time.

"I'm not afraid. My uncle is here. What do I have to be afraid of? My uncle is really amazing. He's so efficient at killing people."

Wen Yibin: "..." Those people were all rushing towards her, and it seemed like she had killed more people than he was. He was just in the way, so they only sent someone to hold him off.

Du Mingxian chuckled and changed the subject, "If I hadn't gone with my uncle today, I would have been in real trouble on the way back. My uncle saved my life in a way."

Wen Yibin was at a loss for words, wondering who had saved whom. The arrow had been aimed at him at first, and he hadn't even had time to react. It was this little woman in front of him who had saved him.

"Since you said I would save you, then I will. You saved me in the first place, so we're even."

"Oh," Du Mingxian replied obediently, her thoughts still wandering.

She was wondering if her identity as Du Mingxian had been exposed, and if the prince behind her had sent people to investigate.

What about Shiro's side?

Or was he Madam Wen's old flame?

This is highly likely. Last time, they didn't do anything to him, and in the end, his people were arrested. This time, he simply didn't take action himself and directly hired the Killing Pavilion to do it, which only required some silver.

But that doesn't make sense. I've heard that Madam Wen has a lot of silver and money. Her boss must also have a lot of silver and wouldn't be short of it at all.

If someone has plenty of money and is willing to hire someone to kill, they will naturally choose a high-level assassin, not a low-level one, lest they not only fail to kill the target but also get themselves into trouble.

If neither of these two people are possible, then who could it be?

Wen Yibin noticed that she remained silent, and although she didn't seem startled, she seemed lost in thought, which struck him as odd. "What are you thinking about?"

"It's strange to think that someone would hire someone to kill me."

"Don't worry about it. I'll look into it and give you an explanation. Don't worry."

Du Mingxian was extremely grateful, her large eyes shining like the moon and stars, she was incredibly beautiful, "Thank you, Uncle, thank you, Uncle."

When Wen Yibin thought of how she killed people, hearing her call him "little uncle" again and again felt grating and unpleasant.

"Don't thank me with words. You weren't happy when I ate something from you before. If you really want to thank me, shouldn't you prepare an extra portion for me whenever my brother has food?"

This time, Du Mingxian didn't even have an excuse to refuse. "Okay, Uncle saved me, it's only right."

Wen Yibin's lips twitched; he had just seen the rejection in the woman's eyes.

She hates herself so much, yet she still insists on delivering food to her older brother; she must have something more to gain.

"As for Qi Ji, if you don't want to marry him, you don't have to."

Suddenly I don't really want her to marry him.

Du Mingxian was surprised, "Isn't it... wasn't it my uncle who went to great lengths to persuade Lord Qi? Why is he trying to persuade me now?"
