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

Wen Yibin: "..." I didn't know much about it before, but I don't want to think about it now, is that okay?

"It's nothing, I'm just worried that you might feel wronged but don't dare to tell your family, and you might overthink things and become unhappy."

Du Mingxian smiled and said, "For me, it doesn't matter who I marry. The Feng family is a high social class in my eyes because I grew up in the countryside, where you have to follow the rules."

“I grew up alone outside since I was a child, and I can’t stand such constraints. On the other hand, Lord Qi is quite good. Once I entered the house, I could be the head of the household and didn’t have to live by anyone’s approval.”

"This kind of life sounds pretty good. The Qi family doesn't have any elders yet, and I feel that this kind of person is more suitable for me."

"Do you really think so?" Wen Yibin raised an eyebrow slightly, his eyes fixed on her.

"Yes." Du Mingxian nodded hurriedly. She had already noticed that Wen Yibin was acting strangely, and it seemed she should keep her distance from him in the future.

Wen Yibin coughed awkwardly twice. "That's good. It's fine as long as you're willing. If you're not willing, or if there's anything you don't know what to do, you can tell me."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle."

She kept calling him "little uncle," which didn't bother people before, but today it felt incredibly uncomfortable.

After finally arriving at the Wen family's door, Du Mingxian wanted to get out of the car first, but as soon as she stood up, Wen Yibin blocked her way. She looked down in surprise, "Uncle?"

Wen Yibin awkwardly took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket and handed it over, saying, "Take this and apply it to the wound on your face when you get back."

"Okay, thank you, Uncle."

"Your father instructed you to do it."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian didn't dare to say much. She got off the carriage and rushed into the mansion. Wen Yibin's gaze at her was strange just now. Although she didn't have much experience in dating, she had lived three lifetimes and lived longer than others. She could see the essence of many things at a glance.

Wen Yibin is definitely not normal.

Du Mingxian, lost in thought, returned to the courtyard, where Ke'er greeted her, "Miss."

"How are you feeling? Much better, thank you for your concern, Miss."

“Since you’ve come with me, you’re one of my people. Of course, I’ll take care of my people.” Du Mingxian added, “Since you’re sick, you should rest well. I don’t necessarily need someone to take care of me.”

Ke'er nodded gently, then asked, "Where is Lian'er? Didn't she go out with Miss? Why did only Miss come back?"

"I asked her to buy some pastries."

"Oh." Ke'er's gaze shifted.

Du Mingxian rarely got close to the two maids, after all, they were sent by Madam Wen, but Ke'er's eyes were strange when she spoke just now, as if she was deliberately inquiring.

That doesn't make sense either. She went out to deliver food to Lord Wen. What else could Ke'er possibly ask?

She noticed the little bit of blood on her body, and Madam Wen had given orders to find out where I went.

If she couldn't figure it out, she decided not to think about it and changed the subject, "Has Chun Tao come back?"

"She's back, but Sister Chuntao said she's not feeling well and hasn't left the house since she got back."

Du Mingxian pondered, could it be that Chuntao discovered something? Or is one of the princes currently in a bad situation, or has something happened to the man Chuntao likes?

The more I think about it, the more excited I become.

"Ke'er, tell me a story."

"Huh?" Ke'er was extremely surprised. How could a servant like her tell stories to Miss Wen?

"Talk about some real events in the capital, such as some major events."

“A major event.” Ke’er thought for a moment and shook her head. “The biggest event recently is that our two young ladies have been engaged. I haven’t heard of any other major events.”

Du Mingxian sensed that Ke'er genuinely didn't know, so she said, "Okay."

I should have just gone to listen myself. This Ke'er is really no match for Chun Tao. If anything were to happen, Chun Tao would definitely know by now.

Chun Tao hasn't come out yet, and what she wanted to ask was about Chun Tao, but she couldn't find out anything.

"Never mind, I'll go check on Chuntao."

As her personal maid, Chun Tao lived in a room by herself.

She went over and knocked on the door. The door was quickly opened from the inside, and Chun Tao, with red eyes and a pitiful look on her face, said, "Miss."

"What's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Come to me, I'll get justice for you!" Du Mingxian's words were all bark and no bite; she just stood there shouting without making any other move.

Fearing that Du Mingxian would act impulsively, Chuntao hurriedly reached out and grabbed her, saying, "Miss, I'm alright."

"Your eyes are so red, and you didn't tell me you were alright." Du Mingxian gently patted her hand. "Let's go inside and talk."

She went into Chun Tao's room on purpose.

Chun Tao was a servant, so her room was small, containing a round table, a bed, a dressing table, a few chairs, a wardrobe, and that was about it.

It was very clean, but the bed was a bit wrinkled, which showed that Chun Tao was in a bad mood and had been lying down to rest.

Since getting to know Chuntao, she has found her to be a thoughtful and meticulous woman. Even when the two of them spoke privately, she always addressed Chuntao as a servant.

As a result, even though such a rule-abiding person had spoken with Ke'er outside and others had greeted her when she returned to the courtyard, Chun Tao did not notice her return.

It's clear that Chun Tao was thinking about her own things just now.

Thinking of this, Du Mingxian's eyes lit up frighteningly. The more trouble Chun Tao had, the better. The more trouble there was, the more she could find out, and the sooner she could regain her identity.

She turned around, pulled Chun Tao over, and sat her down on a stool. "What's wrong? Did something happen to you?"

"No." Chun Tao was very downcast.

She deliberately lowered her voice and said, "We've known each other for quite a while now, and we're practically each other's only support. If you're ever in trouble, you can tell me, and I'll definitely help you."

Chun Tao was deeply moved, but she still shook her head, "Miss, I'm really fine."

"Okay then, tell me when you want to talk about it."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian wanted to get up and leave, but considering that she was still here trying to win over Chun Tao, she took the initiative to say, "I went to deliver food today, and since the weather was nice, I thought I'd walk back."

"On the way back, I saw a newly opened shop with a queue. The pastries smelled really good, so I had Lian'er queue up there. As a result, we ran into my uncle when we came out."

"Thank goodness we met my uncle." She tightened her grip on Chun Tao's hand as she said this. "We were attacked, and those people were after me."

Chun Tao, who was already feeling down, immediately became anxious upon hearing this. "Are you...are you alright?"

"Of course I'm fine. If something really happened to me, would I still be sitting here peacefully?" Du Mingxian waved her hand dismissively. "My uncle said he would investigate this matter, but I'm still a little scared, considering how long it's been since I died."
