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

"Your dowry for the marriage alliance was drawn from the dowries of various unmarried young ladies, with some coming from the public funds, some from the palace to save face, and some additional gifts from various families. That was because it was a marriage alliance, so the household didn't hear much about it, but this time it probably won't work."

Wen Shiyan was quite arrogant. "So what if they disagree? I am a legitimate daughter. Can those illegitimate daughters compare to me?"

Cheng Yu clenched the handkerchief in her hand. If Wen Shiyan were really a young lady of the Wen family, things wouldn't have come to this. Lord Wen is currently in a state of neglect towards Wen Shiyan, so... there definitely won't be any dowry this time. "Our current expenses are not paid by the Wen family, but by the Cheng family, your maternal grandparents' family."

She got angry just thinking about Wen Shiyan. "I don't know what my father was thinking. No matter what, I am now the young lady of the Wen family. He sent people to ask the Cheng family for money. Doesn't he care about being laughed at?"

Cheng Yu was also filled with hatred, but since this matter was caused by her, she didn't know what to say.

“The Cheng family won’t abandon us, but your maternal grandparents’ family also has many members. If they were to provide you with a dowry, the family would probably be in an uproar. So the dowry can only be provided by the Wen family.”

Wen Shiyan was stunned for a while before saying, "Mother, even if I am not Father's biological daughter, he must be afraid of people finding out that he has been cuckolded for so many years. If he doesn't give me a dowry, I will make a big scene. Then he will feel ashamed and will definitely give me a dowry."

Cheng Yu couldn't figure out what Lord Wen was thinking either. "Let's see how it goes. Go to the old lady's courtyard more often and try to please her. Don't say anything about causing trouble for your father until the very end."

"Hmph, I think Father is unwilling to give me a dowry because he wants to give all the good things to that bitch Wen Huan. Why didn't she die out there? She even came back to the capital. Now that I think about her marrying Lord Qi, it feels like a stone is stuck in my heart."

Cheng Yu also sighed, "Things are unpredictable. When we brought her back, we just wanted her to fulfill her marriage agreement with the Feng family. We never expected that such a thing would happen. On the contrary, you were the one who was harmed, while that bitch is living a good life."

"My mother was too soft-hearted back then. She should have just sent someone to kill her without anyone knowing."

Cheng Yu didn't reply. She had thought about it before, but she didn't dare to. Sending Wen Huan to the countryside was already something she had done at the cost of her child's life. If anything else happened, it would probably be difficult.

Moreover, Wen Huan was returning to the Wen family's territory, where Wen family members lived. Those family members were still Lord Wen, so how could they allow anything to happen to his daughter?

Wen Shiyan knew in her heart that anything she said now was for later. "I feel very uncomfortable that my mother makes Wen Huan live so comfortably. I want that bitch to die."

Cheng Yu shook his head. "Now she is the eldest daughter of the Wen family. Your father ordered her to help manage the household. You've only been back for a short time, and she's already in trouble. We two are the prime suspects. Don't make any rash moves for now. When the opportunity arises, Mother will definitely make her pay."

Wen Shiyan understood this principle, "Alright, I'll listen to my mother."

"Have you discussed this with Erniu? You plan to stay in the capital after your marriage. What will you do if he still wants to go find his older brother?"

“Erniu respects his elder brother very much. I’m thinking of finding a famous doctor first to cure his sister-in-law’s eyes. Once her eyes are cured, she will go to see his elder brother. I can send a few people to escort her. Erniu doesn’t need to come along at all. This is the best way to solve this problem right now.”

Cheng Yu was a little worried, "Are you sure his sister-in-law's eyes can be cured? What if they can't be cured?"

"Let's see a doctor first. If it really can't be cured, then we'll talk about it later."

"For now, we can only take it one step at a time." Cheng Yu couldn't think of any other good solutions. "There's a physician in the manor. Have him take a look tomorrow."

"The imperial physicians are no good. The patient is clearly blind, but they can't find the cause. How can they treat him? We can only find a doctor from outside or invite the imperial physician directly."

Cheng Yu muttered, "That's troublesome. If it's so difficult to treat, it would be best to invite the imperial physician. There are only a few imperial physicians in the family. Don't even think about your father or your uncle. Maybe you can try to get help from the old lady."

“Mother knows what kind of person the old lady is. It’s definitely not going to work if she asks her to invite the imperial physician to treat Erniu’s sister-in-law.” Wen Shiyan has been troubled by this matter recently. “Tomorrow I will try to find a doctor from outside to come into the mansion to take a look before we talk about anything else.”

"Alright."

The next day, Wen Shiyan had someone invite doctors from outside the mansion to come in. However, after examining Du Mingwei's eyes, everyone said there was nothing they could do. This made Wen Shiyan very unhappy, and she no longer planned to invite doctors from outside the mansion. Instead, she wanted to invite the imperial physician directly.

In the afternoon, Wen Shiyan went to Old Madam Wen's courtyard and flattered her for a while before finally telling her about her difficulties.

“Grandmother, if Erniu’s sister-in-law’s eyes are not cured, Erniu will still have to accompany her to find his elder brother after I get married. His elder brother is a soldier, and Da Shun and Da Fan are at war right now. It’s not peaceful there at all. How am I supposed to live then?”

Looking at Wen Shiyan's pitiful little face, Old Man Wen thought about his loneliness in the yard recently, how his son was not close to him, and how none of his other grandchildren came to visit her. He felt even more distressed and felt more sorry for Wen Shiyan.

“Now your second aunt is in charge of everything in the backyard of the mansion. If we want to invite the imperial physician, we still have to go through your father. If you really want to invite the imperial physician, go and beg your father. He watched you grow up, and I believe he has some feelings for you.”

Wen Shiyan felt that Lord Wen had no feelings for her, but she dared not say so in front of the old lady: "But I am afraid that if I appear in front of Father, he will think of what Mother did and may be even angrier. Besides... Father has Wen Huan by his side, so it is not necessarily that he can... can help me."

When Wen Huan was mentioned, Old Madam Wen was also very angry, but she still said to Wen Shiyan, "Why don't you give it a try? What if your father agrees? After all, they are your saviors and they brought you back. This is also helping people, so your father should agree."

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Shiyan nodded, "Then I'll try it tomorrow."

While they were discussing treatment, in the guest courtyard, Wu Erniu was in Du Mingwei's room. The two of them had dismissed all the servants and were sitting together, worrying.

"Pretending to be blind probably won't work. Judging from Wen Shiyan's attitude, she might actually bring the imperial physician in a few days. If the physician comes and still can't find the problem, it will definitely arouse suspicion, and then it will be even more troublesome." Du Mingwei frowned deeply.
