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

This time, Du Mingxian brought Ke'er and Lian'er along, and Lord Wen even gave her several dowry servants, maids, and servant girls. He was truly generous.

Ke'er and Lian'er stood quietly to one side. Soon someone brought food over, and Du Mingxian told Ke'er and Lian'er to go downstairs to eat, while she ate in her room.

After she finished eating, it was getting late outside. Du Mingxian asked Ke'er and Lian'er to help her wash up and change into comfortable clothes. Then she told the two of them to go and rest, and she didn't sleep at all.

The lively sounds outside continued until very late. Du Mingxian had almost finished reading a storybook when Ling Silang finally came in, still smelling of alcohol.

While he was outside, she could hear that he was very drunk, but when the door was pushed open, she saw the clarity in his eyes. After entering the room, he immediately closed the door.

The fact that she walks without wobbling shows that she's faking it.

"Your acting skills are getting better and better now," Du Mingxian joked.

Ling Silang chuckled, "There's nothing I can do. Tonight is our wedding night, and I don't want to get so drunk that I'm unconscious."

Du Mingxian's heart was pounding, and she suddenly felt a little nervous. She... she really hadn't thought about it. They had been husband and wife before, and their relationship was close, but at this moment, she was still a little nervous and a little expectant.

"I'll have someone bring some hot water over."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian had hot water brought over, and Ling Silang sat there, dressed in a crimson groom's suit, his eyes fixed on Du Mingxian busying herself for him, his heart filled with affection.

Water was quickly delivered, and Ling Silang went behind the screen to take a bath. Du Mingxian listened to the sound of him bathing and had some impure thoughts. Her ears turned red, and she went straight into her spatial dimension.

Let's just ignore it.

After Ling Silang finished his bath, he came out but didn't see her. He guessed that she had gone into his spatial dimension. He chuckled and shook his head. He went forward to lower the bed curtains, called the servants in to clean up the water, and then let the servants go to rest.

When no one was around, he said to the air, "Come out."

Although Du Mingxian was inside the space, she was paying attention to the commotion outside. Upon hearing his words, she flashed out of the space and was immediately embraced by someone.

He held her tightly, whispering, "You're finally mine again."

What is this nonsense.

Before Du Mingxian could answer, Ling Silang picked her up and carried her quickly toward the bed.

One night, the red candles flickered and the bed curtains swayed, telling of the two people's love.

The next morning, unsurprisingly, Du Mingxian overslept, something that rarely happened to her before.

This was the first time she had ever witnessed Ling Silang's stamina after his recovery. He was really good; he kept going until almost dawn. If she hadn't been angry, he would have wanted to continue.

She woke up, and the area around her had already grown cold, which showed that Ling Silang had gotten up and left very early.

She stood up, and Lian'er, who had heard the noise outside, asked, "Miss, we're coming in."

"Ah."

Lian'er and Ke'er came in together, carrying toiletries. Du Mingxian slowly stood up. "Where is the young master?"

"The young master left early this morning, telling us not to disturb Miss's rest. He hasn't returned yet."

Du Mingxian guessed that Ling Silang might be busy with something, so she washed up and ate by herself.

While she was washing up, her two maids, Lian'er and Ke'er, blushed slightly when they saw the red marks on their young mistress's neck.

Du Mingxian didn't notice at first, but later she sensed something was wrong between the two. When she looked in the mirror again, she understood everything. Then she realized that the courtyard she was living in was too small. She had only considered that Ling Silang would live there alone.

The commotion last night... even if it was very quiet, the servants in the courtyard must have heard it clearly. She blushed again.

I'm so ashamed to face anyone.

She was internally ranting and raving, but outwardly remained expressionless, frantically trying to convince herself that as long as she wasn't embarrassed, it was others who would be.

If she believes it doesn't exist, then it doesn't exist.

Du Mingxian was almost ready to eat when Ling Silang finally returned, carrying a pastry. She was shocked when she saw the packaging. "You went out so early in the morning just to buy this?"

"I thought it would taste good, so I went out of my way to buy it."

Du Mingxian didn't know what to say. Plum Blossom Lane was in the east of the city, while this pastry shop was in the west. There were no carriages or anything like that in the house, so it would take quite a while to make the trip.

"It's a rare opportunity to buy it for you."

“There will be plenty of opportunities in the future. If you want to buy, you can go every day,” she said deliberately.

He was delighted and readily agreed, "Okay, if you want to eat it, I'll buy it every day."

Du Mingxian looked at him like he was an idiot, and finally glared at him, saying, "Let's eat."

The two ate their meal while Ke'er and Lian'er served them. After the meal, Ling Silang and Du Mingxian wanted to go out and sit in the courtyard for a while, but... it was too crowded.

In order to get married, Ling Silang bought five servants, and the Wen family also gave Du Mingxian a dowry, totaling more than thirty people. This small house seemed particularly small once you entered it.

The servants in the courtyard had nothing to do, and some could only go back to their rooms.

Since there was no place to sit in the courtyard, the two went straight into the house, closed the door, and entered the space.

"I didn't expect it to be so crowded. I should have bought a bigger one."

"We'll be leaving the capital in less than two days, so there's no need to change places again; it's too much trouble." Ling Silang felt it was unnecessary.

Du Mingxian had the same thought, "But with so many people in the house, there's really not enough room for everyone."

"You can arrange it as you see fit. The five servants I bought can actually be sent back as well."

After discussing it, the two decided to keep one cook, one coachman, one maid who served Du Mingxian, and one servant who accompanied Ling Silang, while sending the rest back.

The servants that Ling Silang had bought were also sent to the Wen residence.

The cook was provided as part of the dowry by the Wen family, and the coachman was specially arranged by Lord Wen to be a skilled martial artist who appeared honest but was actually very good at fighting.

The servants serving Ling Silang were all skilled in martial arts, but the maids serving Du Mingxian were a different story.

The place they were about to go was fraught with danger. Taking an ordinary maid who knew nothing would be troublesome. This made Du Mingxian think that she should send them all back, since she didn't actually need anyone to serve her.

On the third day after the wedding, Ling Silang took Du Mingxian back to the Wen residence in a newly purchased carriage. The driver was indeed a coachman specially chosen by Lord Wen.

Lord Wen didn't go to the Ministry of War today; he stayed home to wait.

After the two entered, he immediately called them to his study to talk.

Lord Wen was very happy to see the two of them looking radiant, but he was still worried about what was to come. "It won't be long before the Emperor summons you to the palace to make some arrangements."
