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

Lord Wen came to the courtyard just to relax, but he didn't expect his daughter to be so thoughtful. She even invited several of her younger brothers over for dinner. With so many people, it was lively. All the emotions he had brought from seeing his mother and Cheng Yu disappeared, and all that remained was her thoughtfulness.

Although the second and third wives didn't know why Du Mingxian had invited them to dinner, they were all intelligent people. Seeing Lord Wen's expression, they made some guesses. There were some things in the mansion that the servants didn't know, but they, as the masters, knew very well.

So the group tried their best to say things that everyone would like to hear, and avoided saying anything that would spoil the mood.

The meal was lively and enjoyable, but it was tough on the children who were kept outside the gate. Just standing outside the courtyard wall, they could smell the hot pot aroma coming from inside. The more they smelled it, the more intoxicated they became, and the hungrier they felt.

After everyone had finished eating, the second and third wives left, and Wen Yibin was called away from the yamen for some urgent business, leaving only the father and daughter.

Du Mingxian specially brought Lord Wen a cup of hawthorn water, saying, "Father, have some to help cut through the greasiness."

"You're such a thoughtful child." Lord Wen took the cup, took a small sip, and said, "I really wish you were my daughter."

"Am I not Father's daughter now?" Du Mingxian deliberately looked at him with a hurt expression. Lord Wen chuckled, "Yes, yes, you are naturally my daughter. I misspoke."

“I was born in the countryside, and I had a father who was a high-ranking official of the second rank with a promising future as my backer. I was lucky to get this opportunity.”

"You!"

Du Mingxian acted like a shy young girl, and she really treated this man as her father. How to put it? They just clicked.

The two sat together and talked for a long time until Lord Wen felt tired and left Du Mingxian's courtyard.

When Wen Shiyan got married, there was nothing much going on in the Wen family, and Du Mingxian felt she could relax. But then the Second Madam Wen arrived, her face beaming with joy.

"Second Aunt, is there some happy news? You're smiling so happily?"

“This isn’t my happy occasion, it’s your happy occasion! Your father specifically came to our place to tell me to prepare and make arrangements for you.”

Du Mingxian really didn't know this news. Was she going to marry Ling Silang again?

It seems a bit far-fetched. They were originally husband and wife, but they never actually consummated their marriage.

"Tell your second aunt what you want or think, and your second aunt will definitely help you." Madam Wen was especially happy. Her eldest brother had entrusted her with such an important matter. This would really make her proud in the future.

Moreover, since the old lady is still alive and the family hasn't separated yet, after she passes away, the various branches of the family will eventually have to separate. Her husband is still a commoner, so he will have to rely on his eldest brother in the future.

If she takes good care of this matter and handles it well, her elder brother will definitely favor the second wife more in the future.

Du Mingxian was a little embarrassed. "I don't have any specific requirements. Second Aunt can arrange it as she sees fit."

Remarrying is still quite novel for her. She hadn't fully recovered from her last marriage, and besides, she didn't need to worry about anything at home. As a result, she really didn't have to care about anything and didn't participate in anything.

"Okay, if you haven't made any arrangements, then I'll take care of it. I'll come and tell you about the procedures and everything. If there's anything you're not happy about, just tell your second aunt directly. Don't be polite with your second aunt, okay?"

"Don't worry, Auntie. If I have any ideas, I will definitely tell you."

"That's fine, that's fine."

The two chatted briefly before Aunt Wen left. Du Mingxian then went to see Lord Wen in the afternoon.

Lord Wen knew why she was coming when he saw her. "You are now getting married as Wen Huan. Besides, you two are still not out of the picture. This matter has been brought up before. It's not good to just leave it unattended. I've asked your second aunt to make preparations."

"Thank you, Father, but all this trouble will probably cost quite a bit."

When a wealthy family marries off their daughter, everything has to be prepared; it's not as simple as just saying "let her go" and she's ready to marry.

It turns out the Wen family really did lose out.

Lord Wen didn't care about this at all. "It's nothing serious, don't worry. I'll talk to Qi Ji about it."

"Father, what about our escape?"

"After you two get married, I will arrange for Qi Ji to go out and take up an official post. When you leave the capital, you can find a way to get away." Lord Wen added, afraid that she would worry, "There are some powerful people in the capital, and things can easily go wrong. Besides, you are my daughter, so you will definitely receive a lot of attention."

"Funerals and such are difficult to handle in all aspects, so leaving the capital and getting away is the best option."

Du Mingxian understood. "Yes, thank you, Father."

Lord Wen waved his hand, he didn't care about this at all, but he really liked this daughter, so he naturally had to consider it more.

From that day forward, Du Mingxian began preparing for marriage and rarely left the manor. She had little interest in things outside the manor, having seen much of it in her previous life, including the prosperity of modern times. This period of time felt like a stolen opportunity for her, so she naturally wanted to enjoy it to the fullest.

Once her status is restored and Ling Silang passes the exam again, she can resume her social life as a lady. At that time, she will have plenty of things to worry about.

Take as much comfort as you can for now.

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye. It has also been more than two months since Wen Shiyan left. Du Mingxian was living too comfortably and had almost forgotten about this person when news of Wen Shiyan came.
