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

"Are you feeling better?"

"What you want is on the table." The Crown Prince didn't want to talk to Du Mingxian at the moment. He had a feeling that this person wanted to save him, but didn't have any good intentions.

The medicine I just took was so bitter.

Du Mingxian looked up and saw a small box on the table. She went over, opened the box, and examined it closely.

When the Crown Prince's personal eunuch saw that Du Mingxian treated the Crown Prince like this, the Crown Prince was not angry. He immediately got up from the ground, his legs were no longer weak, and he was no longer flustered. He even took a candlestick and moved closer to Du Mingxian so that she could see him more clearly.

Du Mingxian read it carefully. It described the cause, the process, and the evidence at the end. It was so perfect that it seemed flawless.

The more perfect something is, the more suspicious it seems.

Her brow remained furrowed. "Your Highness, may I take these documents home to review them before bringing them back?"

"No, I got it from Father, and I have to return it tomorrow."

Du Mingxian: "..."

Well, it seems the Emperor still likes the Crown Prince quite a bit.

"Your Highness, could you please prepare a room for me? There's still so much I haven't seen, and it wouldn't be good to keep bothering you here. Besides, it's getting late, and Your Highness isn't feeling well, so you should get some rest."

The Crown Prince glanced at her, quite suspicious of her intentions, but what Du Mingxian said was true, and he couldn't sit here with her forever. "Alright, I'll have someone arrange a room for you, but you must keep these things safe. If there are any problems, I'll contact you immediately."

"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured."

Du Mingxian carried the box and went to the neighboring courtyard with her father-in-law. The room was already lit up. After entering the room, she closed the door and then went into her spatial dimension.

Copying these things was impossible, as there were still evidence items inside, so she could only take photos with her camera.

There were many items, and she took detailed photos, which took her an hour to photograph everything. She stretched and didn't dare to leave immediately, so she took the box and went to find the Crown Prince.

As it turned out… the Crown Prince’s personal eunuch told her, “His Highness is resting.”

When does His Highness usually wake up?

"It's hard to say; it depends on Your Highness's health."

Du Mingxian didn't want to return the things after lending them to others. Such important items would be difficult to explain if something went wrong. "Then I'll go rest next door first. When Your Highness wakes up, please have someone tell me so I can return the things."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian went next door to rest and wait for the Crown Prince to wake up.

Before dawn, when her father-in-law came to inform her, she glanced at the time; it was four in the morning. He was really up early.

He met the prince while carrying the box.

"Your Highness, everything inside is intact."

"Okay, put it there."

"Your Highness, won't you take a look?"

"No need." The Crown Prince waved his hand. After a nap, he felt much lighter, which must be due to the medicine Du Mingxian had given him. "Did the doctor who prescribed this medicine say how long I need to take it?"

"Three days."

The spiritual water was produced in very small quantities each day. After so many days, there wasn't much left. After three days' worth, she could only have half a bowl left. This was only because of Old Madam Xu and because the Crown Prince helped her.

Otherwise, how could she possibly bear to take out something so valuable?

"Then you don't need to deliver it; I'll have someone go and pick it up."

"Your Highness, let me deliver it. If you send someone to pick it up, I can't bear the responsibility if something goes wrong. It's better not to have too many people handle this kind of thing."

"Alright." The crown prince didn't stand on ceremony.

Du Mingxian was about to leave when she thought of Old Madam Xu. She turned to him hesitantly and said, "Your Highness, I have a question."

"You said."

"Your Highness and the person who asked you to take care of me are not particularly close, but not distant either. Why would you risk your life to help me?"

Moreover, Old Madam Xu would certainly not take the initiative to write a letter to the Crown Prince, and she doesn't know who is left in the Shangguan family now.

"You don't need to worry about this matter. You just need to know that she is a very important elder to me." After saying that, the Crown Prince added with some concern, "Treat her well, and I will not let you down."

Du Mingxian pouted, "Your Highness, even if you didn't say anything, we would still take good care of her."

She delivered medicine to the Crown Prince for three consecutive days. Since she went at night and the room was dark, she couldn't tell how the Crown Prince looked. After delivering the medicine, she would chat briefly and then leave.

With the matter concerning the Crown Prince settled, she began to ponder the possibility of faking her death.

On this day, Lord Wen was off work, so Du Mingxian specially prepared a meal and went to Lord Wen's courtyard to dine with him.

The father and daughter ate while talking, mostly about things related to the Wen family.

"Now that Da Fan and Shi Yan's marriage is settled, she will definitely be married off. The Ministry of Rites is already making preparations, and it won't be long before we set off to escort her."

"Are you really going to marry me?" Du Mingxian thought the relationship had fallen through.

"Of course I will marry her. A promise made cannot be broken. Da Fan needs time, and Da Shun needs time too."

"So, should we just push the woman out?" She wasn't speaking up for Wen Shiyan, but rather for the women of this era, for whom women always seem to pay the price.

Lord Wen remained silent.

Du Mingxian also fell silent.

Neither of them had much of an appetite, so Lord Wen ordered the servants to remove the food.

Servants came and went, bringing them tea. Only then did Lord Wen speak slowly, "Some things are just formalities."

“Father, I have finished what I needed to do here, and I… I want to leave.”

Lord Wen paused in his tea, but only for a moment before picking it up and continuing to drink. "Are you leaving now? Why not stay a few more days? No one knows you're not Wen Huan. If you're willing, you can always be Wen Huan."

"That wouldn't be fair to Wen Huan."

"Dying is easy, living is hard. Those who have left are gone, and those who remain are the ones who suffer the most. When they were alive, I was powerless, so let me atone for my sins to them in the underworld after I die."

At this point, Lord Wen turned to Du Mingxian and said, “None of the children in the family are my biological children, and I am not close to them. It was only after you came that I felt like a father.”

Du Mingxian frowned, "Although Wen Shiyan isn't your biological daughter, there's still..."

"They are all the third son's children."

Du Mingxian seemed to have been forced to swallow a mouthful of melon; it was choking, yet irresistibly tempting. "Third Uncle?"

"Ah."

Du Mingxian suddenly felt sorry for the old man; he knew everything but didn't say anything.

"Second Uncle and Third Uncle can separate and live separately. You are not that old now. If you divorce Cheng, you can remarry. You will definitely have a big, healthy son."

Lord Wen rolled his eyes at her and said, "Stop talking nonsense."
