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

At this point, Zhao the midwife sighed heavily, "If I had known that she would see me hitting someone and then hold me hostage for life, I would never have hit her."

“She came to see me and happened to see me hitting someone. She is Miss Guan, and I recognized her at a glance. I was so scared that I immediately knelt down.”

"She said I killed someone and ordered her maid to drag the person away. She said she could help me cover it up and support me, but she needed me to do something for her."

“I have a child and I was terrified. I told her that I would do anything as long as she didn’t report me. She said she would introduce me to a job, hoping that I could switch the child out and then drug the woman.”

“Of course I didn’t want to. She told me that if I didn’t want to, I would have to pay with my life, and then no one would take care of my child. She said a lot, but all I remember is that I have to live, I must live.”

"The person she introduced me to was pregnant out of wedlock, and the woman was also from an official family. I checked later." The midwife Zhao looked up at Lord Wen.

"The woman has a relationship with Lord Wen, and the child she is carrying is also Lord Wen's child."

Lord Wen was stunned when he heard this.

"Lord Wen is engaged to that woman, who is Lord Wen's daughter. Two days before their wedding, Lord Wen was reported for making dissenting remarks, which caused quite a stir."

"Before Lord Wen was imprisoned, his daughter had already disappeared. Nobody knew where she was. I found out all of this secretly afterward."

"The woman lived in a remote house in town, with no one around. The woman who found me was her neighbor. I heard that someone had given her money to take care of her."

"She only came to find a midwife when she saw that the woman's belly was big."

“I went there. By then, my son had already been taken away by Madam Wen. He had died and been buried. There was no one by his side. After I arrived, I stayed there for two days. The woman only started to move on the third day.”

"Before giving birth, I... I gave her the medicine that Madam Wen had given me, along with the ginseng soup. After the baby was born, I quickly tidied up the woman and then left with the child."

The man's breathing grew increasingly rapid. "Where's the child?"

“I gave the child to a distant relative in the village to raise. They only have two boys and no girls. When she gave birth to her second son, she injured her body while working in the fields and could not have any more children. They really wanted a girl, so I secretly sent her over that very night.”

"Did you continue to pay attention to it afterward?" Lord Wen asked in a deep voice.

Midwife Zhao shook her head. "No, I went back to Old Madam Wen and told her that the child was dead. I threw it away. She even sent someone to check on that woman and found out that the woman was also dead before returning my child to me."

“At that time, we were in Wenzhou. She arranged for someone to take me to Beijing so that I could get a foothold there first.”

"I only remember that when I received the news from Wencheng, there was a disaster there, and many people had fled. I don't know if the baby girl I delivered is still alive."

Du Mingxian laughed when she heard this, "No wonder you, an old woman, have no grandson and are destined to be childless. It turns out you've done too many bad things."

These words were a thorn in Zhao the midwife's side, and she silently lowered her head without saying a word.

"After you arrived in the capital, Old Madam Wen also arrived in the capital?"

"Yes, I was shocked when I learned that she had married Lord Wen."

Lord Wen's voice was hoarse, "Has she asked you to do anything else?"

"Yes, I was quite well-known in the capital a few years ago. At that time, the Wen family was only a fourth-rank official in the capital, and the wives of officials I came into contact with were not particularly noble. If someone offended Madam Wen, or if someone in her family was about to give birth, she would ask me to take action."

Du Mingxian didn't know what to say. "So many children have died because of you. Your reputation will be damaged. Who would want to hire you to deliver their babies?"

"No, it's not about letting the child die, but... letting the child be born a little later, so that the child will be mentally challenged."

Their methods are getting more and more sophisticated.

"You've done so many despicable things, so settle things at home today, and I'll come pick you up."

Zhao the midwife understood the meaning behind those words, and said, "Okay."

The time is coming for her to get what she deserves. After her retribution, she will be willing to do so if it will allow her children to live a better life.

Du Mingxian stepped forward to help Lord Wen up, "Father, let's go."

When Lord Wen was unwilling, Du Mingxian whispered a reminder, "If we come openly, we'll be watched. We must avoid any trouble now. I'll come to pick her up secretly and make sure Father gets revenge."

After hearing Du Mingxian's words, Lord Wen slowly walked out. He was fine when he came in, but when he walked back, he seemed to have aged more than ten years.

Back at the restaurant, Du Mingxian brought out the carriage. Lord Wen sat inside without saying a word. Du Mingxian asked, "Father, shall I take you back first, and then ride back here?"

"No need for any trouble, we can just take them away tonight."

"Judging from Zhao the midwife's attitude, she probably also wants to repent. Father, you should go home first. It would be troublesome if people found out that neither of us were home."

Du Mingxian kept reassuring him, "Father, you just need to go home and keep watch. I will definitely bring the person back tomorrow morning. Don't worry, Father."

Lord Wen glanced at Du Mingxian but said nothing more, while Du Mingxian drove the carriage back.

They rushed back in the afternoon. Du Mingxian parked the carriage in the alley, and she flew over the wall with Lord Wen, placing him in the courtyard.

The old man in the courtyard was very worried when he saw that Lord Wen was not in a good condition.

Lord Wen patted him gently to show that he was alright.

"Father, I'll go out now."

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Du Mingxian quietly left the mansion and drove a carriage out of the city. When she reached the official road, it was already getting dark. She put the carriage into her spatial storage, took out her horse from the storage, put on night vision goggles, and rode off at full speed.

When she quietly arrived at Zhao the Midwife's house, she sensed something was wrong. Something was amiss in Zhao the Midwife's room; there were three breaths, one of which was particularly rapid.

Du Mingxian slowly stepped forward and listened by the window, and heard a conversation coming from inside.

"Tell us the truth about what you said to Lord Wen today, and we might let you off the hook. If you don't tell us honestly, we have plenty of ways to deal with you."

Du Mingxian's breath hitched. The other party had discovered their presence. Just as she was thinking about how to handle the situation, another man in the room looked out the window, very wary. "Who's there?"

Du Mingxian had already taken out her gun and walked in openly. Before the two could even question her, she had already fired the tranquilizer gun.

As Zhao the midwife was weeping and trying to step forward, Du Mingxian shot her as well, then put all three of them into her spatial storage before quietly leaving the Zhao family.
