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

Having come up with no good solution, and with the Tian family's affairs still uninvestigated, she decided not to stay in the prefectural city and needed to go back to discuss the matter with Ling Silang in person.

So when she met with Granny Tian again, she said that she would not come over for the time being, but would go to Granny Tian's house to find her when she went to town again. Granny Tian was very anxious when she heard this.

"Oh dear, sister, you've really put me to death! Why did you suddenly stop coming? If you don't come, how are we going to get by?"

Du Mingxian knew her mother-in-law was anxious, but she wasn't. "I just had something to do. I also brought an extra bowl of strawberries today. No matter how good these things are, you'll get tired of eating them all the time."

“No, no, no, you don’t understand.” The old woman shook her head. “Although we’ve been buying these things frequently lately, it’s never enough. Our young lady needs to eat them, she also needs to take them to entertain guests, and she also needs to send some to the Prince Ming’s mansion. She needs something for everything. How can two bowls be enough?”

That's really not enough, but what can she do?

"Then I'll bring more next time I come, so please don't make things difficult for me."

"Can we not do anything? Or if you have something important to do, tell me and I'll ask you for help."

“My grandfather had a second wife outside, and now he’s dead outside. The second wife sent word that we should go and bring him back. It’s just my brother and me in my family. Do you think it’s appropriate for me not to go?”

The old woman: "..." It really is impossible not to go.

"What a coincidence! It's only been a few days, and you've already decided to go."

"There's nothing we can do, so let's leave it at that. I even came here specifically to tell you. We were supposed to leave yesterday, but we would have left long ago if it weren't for the fact that we wanted to come and tell you."

The old woman looked very worried. "You've taken my heart with you with you as you left."

"It's alright, it's alright, I'll be back. Okay, I came to tell you that my brother is still waiting for me outside the city. I have to go now."

Why doesn't your brother go into town?

Du Mingxian rolled her eyes at her, "How long have you been out of town? Don't you have to pay to enter? Every little bit helps."

Old woman: "..." So where did all that silver you made go every day?

After returning home, Du Mingxian went to see Madam Dong and told her that she would be leaving for a while. She also left her some money. Madam Dong was obedient and didn't ask any questions. She just told Du Mingxian to come back soon.

Du Mingxian didn't bring much with her. She left a message for Qiu Shu before leaving the city to wait.

The horse was brought out of the space, and its food was bought by Qiu Shu in the city.

The two rode their horses at full gallop, but... after only the time it takes to burn an incense stick, Du Mingxian felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach, a dull ache, as if her period was about to start.

She immediately decided that she could not go any further on horseback, or she might suffer a severe hemorrhage.

"Qiu Shu, go wait for me up ahead, I'll be right there."

"Yes."

After Qiu Shu left, Du Mingxian went into her spatial dimension to recover for a long time before she felt more comfortable. She harnessed the carriage and padded the interior before leaving the space and slowly driving the carriage forward.

Qiu Shu was in front. When he saw Du Mingxian driving the carriage over, he didn't ask any questions and just followed her instructions.

"Tie your horse to the back and let it run on its own. You come and drive the carriage."

"Yes."

Qiu Shu drove the carriage, while Du Mingxian lay down to rest. However, the bumpy ride was quite uncomfortable, so she could only ask Qiu Shu to slow down.

Qiu Shu could tell that Du Mingxian was not feeling well and was a little worried. "Madam, there's a town ahead. Why don't you go find a doctor to take a look?"

"No need, it should be fine. There's no rush. Just take your time and walk slowly."

"Yes."

Du Mingxian would stay in the carriage for a while, and then go into the space for a while. Qiu Shu could feel the presence of the carriage sometimes and sometimes not, but he never thought of exploring his master's secrets.

We walked slowly and tried to find a place to stay at night, which took up a lot of time on the road.

When Du Mingxian returned to Ping County, she looked extremely pale. When Ling Silang saw her return and noticed she had lost weight, he immediately became anxious, "What happened? Why do you look so pale?"

As Ling Silang was about to take her pulse, Du Mingxian pushed him away, saying, "It's nothing, I'm just on my period and not feeling well. I'll go inside and rest. You go ahead and do your work. We can talk tonight."

With Du Mingxian gone, Ling Silang had no choice but to attend to his own business.

In the backyard, Du Mingxian went back to her room and fell asleep, sleeping soundly until she heard a noise outside. She subconsciously got up and saw Ling Silang return. It had gotten dark outside sometime earlier.

"You're back." She had just woken up, and her voice was muffled.

Ling Silang responded, "Are you hungry? I'll have them bring in some food."

"it is good."

"Someone come here." Ling Silang gave the order, and Xiang Yang and the others came in, lit the lamps, brought food, and then left.

Du Mingxian walked to the table and sat down. Looking at the food on the table, her appetite increased. "Eat quickly, I'm starving. After we eat, I have something to say."

"it is good."

Both of them were hungry, and neither of them spoke, focusing solely on eating. After finishing their meal, they had the servants clear the table before Du Mingxian pulled Ling Silang into the space.

"What do you plan to do about what Qiu Shu found out about the Lu family?"

“I wrote a letter to the Crown Prince in your name. If I write a letter, all official letters will be reviewed by the officials before they reach the Crown Prince, unless the Crown Prince specifically requests them.”

“Even the staff of the Crown Prince’s residence are not in a position to know about this matter, so it can only be written in your name.”

Du Mingxian smiled, "What a coincidence, I also sent a letter to the Crown Prince."

"It's alright, the Crown Prince will understand."

"I never expected that this matter was so serious. The people in the capital will definitely be very angry when they find out."

Ling Silang remained calm, saying, "Since it has already happened, it's better to discover it early and solve the problem than to discover it too late."

"Yes, yes, you have a great attitude," Du Mingxian said happily. "Have you missed me while I've been away for so long?"

"What do you think?" Ling Silang said as he leaned down and pinned Du Mingxian beneath him.

Du Mingxian reached out and gently pushed his body away, "Stop fooling around, I'm bleeding, it's not just you who will feel uncomfortable if you tease me."

Ling Silang chuckled, gently kissed her lips, and then took her wrist and stood up.

Then he froze, then grabbed Du Mingxian's wrist, then hurriedly switched to the other wrist. In the end, he was a little angry, a little relieved, and a little helpless.

"From now on, you are not allowed to go anywhere, not even through the front door."

"Huh? What's wrong? Are you going to imprison me?" Du Mingxian frowned, clearly dissatisfied. "What have you done? Is there something wrong with my body?"
