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

In the quiet night, even the softest sound of a door opening and closing is loud in this environment. Ling Silang immediately looked up and saw Du Mingxian who had already entered.

He rushed forward in a panic, "Why are you here?"

"Something's come up." Du Mingxian handed the antidote to Ling Silang. "See if you can make this."

"Let me remove the poison from your body," Ling Silang said to Du Mingxian.

Du Mingxian shook her head, "No need for now. I have spiritual water to suppress it. Chun Tao will still give me the antidote. The antidote you concocted can completely neutralize the poison?"

Ling Silang shook his head, "The other side also has a master. Such good medicine is their trump card. How could they let me easily cure it? I can only suppress it."

Du Mingxian didn't mention a word about her unpleasantness with Chuntao that evening. "Where's that expert who was with you?"

"Find a way to get him to leave."

Before Du Mingxian could speak, Ling Silang said to her very seriously, "You are at the Wen family's house. Wen Yibin is investigating the matter of the deceased Ministry of Rites official. I have a guess."

"you……"

"It was done by the people behind us. Their goal was to put someone like me in the reception group. We are newcomers to officialdom and know nothing. There must be a reason why they arranged it this way."

Du Mingxian narrowed her eyes slightly, "First create panic, then use you newcomers to receive them. If something goes wrong in the process, we won't care at all. We'll use you to send out the border map?"

She didn't know about anything else, but in her previous life, when she was alive, another country visited again. At that time, the emperor was now the prince who had ascended the throne.

Because Wu Daniu was simple-minded and naive, and with her guidance and help inquiring about information within the ladies' circle, Wu Daniu gained the Emperor's deep trust.

The Emperor would entrust Wu Daniu with many tasks, such as supervising visits from other countries.

Every foreigner who comes to the land of Da Shun, including their followers, even the most insignificant groom, is subject to surveillance.

Observe who they associate with, what they say during those interactions, and so on.

If the Great Shun Kingdom truly intended to use this opportunity to send its border defense layout map to another country, private contact was definitely out of the question. It's no exaggeration to say that you have to keep a close watch on even a fly that flies into the homes of other countries.

The envoys who received them were a little different; they still had a bit of power and could contact people from other countries without arousing suspicion.

Du Mingxian immediately grasped this point and understood the key: "Did someone remind you to be prepared?"

Ling Silang had to admire Du Mingxian's quick thinking. "Yes, I have received the message. I need to send the things out, and it's as if they've assured me that I can independently receive their envoys from other countries."

"What a grand scheme! It's not easy at all. I'm just worried that the country you'll be hosting might not be the same country they're sending messages to."

“Yes.” Ling Silang had this concern. “So I need an external force now. I want to find out as soon as possible who is behind this.”

Du Mingxian also wondered, "Have you thought of a good way?"

"Yes, it depends on whether you can persuade Lord Wen. Perhaps Lord Wen can lend us a hand."

Du Mingxian thought about Lord Wen's attitude and she really couldn't say anything: "This... needs further consideration. Lord Wen's attitude is not clear right now, unless I help him find out the cause of his first wife's death."

Because of Du Mingxian, Ling Silang had basically figured out everything about the Wen family. "Wen Huan's mother?"

"Yes, I suspect there's something fishy about her death."

“How come you see?”

"Madam Wen has something on Old Madam Wen. Do you think she's Madam Wen's aunt or mother-in-law? Under these circumstances, wouldn't the two of them be on good terms? Old Madam Wen is the matriarch of the Wen family. What could she possibly have done that would give Madam Wen something to hold against her?"

Ling Silang's mind raced. "Is it related to Lord Wen's first wife?"

"Yes, that's my suspicion. Lord Wen also told me about his situation. Based on my understanding and analysis, that's probably how it is."

"Lord Wen used to be fond of his first wife, and even brought her directly to the capital. However, the Wen family disagreed, and Lord Wen's resistance was in vain. Knowing this, his first wife quietly left on her own."

"Lord Wen was particularly fond of her. He was willing to give up his status as the eldest son of the Wen family to pursue his first wife. He even refused to return to her. In the end, it was his love that moved her."

“If the first wife is willing to come back, and the two of them get married normally, but if I were the old lady of the Wen family, how could I not be angry that my eldest son, whom I value most, is being valued by someone with no background?”

"I'd probably want to tear her apart, how could I possibly let her marry into the family again?"

Ling Silang nodded in agreement, "So, in order to please her son, Madam Wen accepted this daughter-in-law on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was thinking about how to kill her?"

“I think so,” Du Mingxian said with a conspiracy theory: “Old Madam Wen has been keeping an eye on this daughter-in-law, and after she got pregnant, she made a little move.”

"Since the son wasn't there when his daughter-in-law was giving birth, he could just give orders to the midwife and servants to make the woman have a difficult childbirth."

It wasn't as dark as she imagined; rather, the inner quarters of the household were far darker than she had thought. In her previous life, she had lived in the capital for decades and had heard and seen quite a lot.

Ling Silang sighed, "If that's really the case, I'm afraid Lord Wen will be heartbroken. I think he treats you, his daughter, quite well. If even his own mother is plotting against the woman he loves most, he'd probably want to die."

Du Mingxian also knew, "So, he also knows that I am not Wen Huan, and his own daughter is dead. Should I still investigate this matter?"
