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

“It’s not because the harvest was bad last year. There’s a food shortage everywhere. My sister-in-law went up the mountain to find food so that the younger children in the family could have enough to eat. She rolled down the hillside and hit her head, which caused her to lose her sight.”

Du Mingxian looked at her strangely and muttered, "They're quite pitiful."

Wen Shiyan didn't realize that Du Mingxian was genuinely sympathetic to Du Mingwei. "Sister, I recently invited doctors to treat my sister-in-law, but none of them could cure her condition. I was thinking of inviting the imperial physician to the mansion to examine her."

After a moment of contemplation, Du Mingxian agreed and said, "Other doctors may not be able to help, but the imperial physicians should be fine, since the best doctors are all in the Imperial Hospital."

"You think so too?" Wen Shiyan was quite happy.

"nature."

Wen Shiyan hurriedly said, "That's what I thought too, but there are only two people in the family qualified to invite the imperial physician. My father is angry that I am going to marry Erniu and he doesn't want to get involved in my affairs. My uncle is also cold-hearted. I really have no other choice, so I thought of bringing my sister-in-law here and asking my sister to help invite the imperial physician out of pity for her."

“Me?” Du Mingxian pointed at herself and then laughed. “Sister, are you kidding me? If you can’t do anything about it, how can I? Besides, you’re a princess, and I’m just the eldest daughter of the Wen family.”

Wen Shiyan seemed to have been enlightened. She was now a princess and could also invite the imperial physician, but inviting someone required an official seal, which she did not seem to have.

"I... I am a princess, but I am thinking of inviting a better imperial physician. If I send my people to invite one, they will probably only bring some ordinary imperial physicians. I still want to invite a better imperial physician to treat my sister-in-law."

Wen Shiyan, pleased with her own cleverness, added at the end, "After all, seeing a doctor is a big deal. If it's an ordinary doctor, it wouldn't be good if they prescribed the wrong medicine."

Du Mingxian understood after a moment's thought. To make the marriage seem more appealing, the Emperor had bestowed the title of Princess upon Wen Shiyan. However, this title was merely nominal; she had no fiefdom, no salary, nothing at all, and probably wouldn't even be eligible to hire a royal physician.

If Wen Shiyan really went to invite him, it would be embarrassing if she couldn't get the imperial physician. When did this person get a brain and know how to defend herself?

“My sister is right, but if even a princess like you can’t get help, I’m afraid I, a commoner, am even less likely to succeed.”

"If my sister wants to help, she definitely can."

"Oh?" Du Mingxian wanted to hear Shiyan ramble on and then observe Du Mingwei's reaction.

Although Du Mingwei's hand movements were not visible, the maid supporting her had a pained yet restrained expression, indicating that Du Mingwei's inner state was not as calm as it appeared.

Du Mingwei was far from calm. The person who had grown up with her, been exploited by her family, and was eventually married off to her in a marriage exchange was now sitting in the Wen family mansion as the eldest daughter of the Wen family. When she first came in, she couldn't believe it was Du Mingxian, but after observing her closely, she realized it was indeed Du Mingxian.

She would recognize even if it were burned to ashes.

How could she be the eldest daughter of the Wen family, living a life of extravagance? Looking at the maids standing beside her and the servants busy in the courtyard, how could she not be jealous?

Wen Shiyan had her back to Du Mingwei and didn't notice her expression at all. She only said to Du Mingxian, "Sister, please plead with Father for me. Father loves you the most. He's angry with me now and doesn't want to see me. But you can still go to Father's study and say a word or two."

"Moreover, they are not only my future family, but also my saviors. Without them, I might not have survived. Please help me, sister."

Du Mingxian had no idea how Wen Shiyan was rescued. She had only heard that Wen Shiyan had come back and said that these two people had saved her, but she had not found out the specifics.

"They saved you?"

"Yes, after I reached the border, I encountered some things. Later, I rolled down the mountain alone and was seriously injured and unconscious. They rescued me and brought me back. If it weren't for them, how could I have walked back from such a far place by myself?"

Wen Shiyan was still a little scared when she thought about what happened after she got off the ship at the dock. Fortunately, Wu Erniu protected her at that time, otherwise her life might have been over, or she might have died by now.

I doubt anyone in this lifetime will love me like Wu Erniu did.

Before, Wu Erniu was very kind to her on the street, but she didn't take a liking to him. But when things really got tough, when there was bloodshed, or even when she might lose her life, Wu Erniu rushed over without saying a word and protected her tightly behind him. At that time, he was really too... manly.

To be able to marry such a man in this lifetime is enough for her.

Even if the Wu family doesn't have any money, so what's the problem?

She is the second young lady of the Wen family. The dowry the Wen family gives her will be enough for them to live on. Wu Erniu will definitely find some ways to make money, and they will be able to make a living. Wu Erniu's older brother is a soldier. If he makes a meritorious contribution and becomes a general, he will have a chance.

As long as a family can produce a military general, their future will definitely be very good.

Du Mingxian was quite surprised. Why would these two be at the border? Could they be looking for Wu Daniu? What about Wu Sanniu and the others? Why are there only the two of them?

For a moment, she had many questions, but she couldn't ask them directly.

“We should thank them properly. If it weren’t for them, you wouldn’t have been able to come back. As for Father…” She hesitated deliberately.

Wen Shiyan's personality had also changed. Seeing that Du Mingxian was willing to help her, she hurriedly said, "Sister, please help me. Talk to Father and ask him to send a royal physician to examine my sister-in-law's eyes. It would be a good deed to save lives, wouldn't it?"

Du Mingxian nodded gently, "Alright then, I'll talk to Father after I see him. But I'll stop writing today. Apart from those on duty, the other imperial physicians are probably preparing for the New Year, so seeing eyes isn't a particularly urgent matter. How about we wait until after the New Year?"

“Alright, alright, as long as Father is willing to invite him.” Wen Shiyan knew the customs of the capital during the New Year. She hadn’t originally planned to invite the imperial physician now; she would wait until after the New Year. “Thank you, sister.”

"Your trip has brought about quite a few changes."

He used to be so arrogant, but now he's saying thank you. It's like the sun has risen in the west.

“People change. Besides, I’m not asking for anything from her. We’re still sisters. It’s not a big deal for me to say some nice things to my sister.” Wen Shiyan said with a smile, then said coldly to the maid beside her, “We’ve been standing here for so long, and you didn’t even bring a chair over. You’re really rude.”
