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

Du Mingxian had to take this older woman seriously; she really had a knack for judging people.

"That's amazing," she said sincerely.

The woman chuckled, "That's all I'm good at. My name is Luo Xiu, what's yours?"

"Du Mingxian".

"You're the first person I've met here whose name I know." Luo Xiu smiled happily, her eyes shining, clearly living a very happy life.

At noon, Liu Ya went back to cook, and Du Mingxian thought about it and went back too. Anyway, she came here because of something strange, so there was no harm in going back now. She could go back, take a nap, and then come back.

Luo Xiu also went back with Du Mingxian, but the two lived in different places and parted ways after walking for a while.

When Du Mingxian returned at noon, Ling Silang wasn't there. She ate her meal in her spatial dimension, took a nap, and slowly made her afternoons pass.

They took the same spot in the morning and continued working together in the afternoon, naturally gossiping as well.

Even so, the two of them finished their work early in the afternoon.

"Oh dear, what are you still doing? I've finished this job, I'm not going to do anything else today. I want to go back and make something nice for my husband, and I'll bring some back for him tomorrow. My steamed buns are really delicious."

"Okay, then let's do it together. I'm not doing it today either."

After spending a day together, Du Mingxian found that Luo Xiu's personality was somewhat similar to that of Xiao Zhou Shi, and she quite liked her.

The two went to hand over the finished garments together, received the money, and left immediately.

Luo Xiu also dragged Du Mingxian to go shopping, saying she wanted to buy some meat, make some steamed buns tonight, and bring some over to Du Mingxian tomorrow. Du Mingxian did not refuse.

The two parted ways halfway through their journey, and Du Mingxian returned home while Ling Silang was already back.

The next day, Du Mingxian also brought some food from home, pastries she had made in her space the night before. It wouldn't be right to take other people's things for free.

When she arrived, Luo Xiu had not yet arrived. She sat in the seat she had sat in yesterday, first went to collect the fabric, and then sat down to sew clothes.

An hour passed, and Luo Xiu still hadn't come. She found it strange; someone like Luo Xiu would definitely come unless there was something special preventing her from coming.

Something must have happened.

I just made a friend, and we get along quite well. She really wants to be friends with her.

Luo Xiu didn't come all day, which made Du Mingxian a little depressed. However, since no one was talking to her today, she finished her outfit early and went home.

Ling Silang was home today. When Du Mingxian returned home, he had already chopped the vegetables and was boiling water, preparing to cook.

He could tell at a glance that she wasn't in a very good mood.

"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"

Du Mingxian sighed softly, "It's not that I'm in a bad mood, I'm just a little puzzled. The Sister Luo I told you about last night didn't come today."

"Has something happened at home?"

"Maybe, but they've all come to the capital to take the exams, so there's not much to do. Sister Luo will definitely go to work. She even said she wants to earn more money so that if her husband fails the exams, she can take some money home and see if she can build two more rooms."

"Logically speaking, if she wanted to come to the house so badly, she definitely wouldn't miss such a good opportunity to make money. If it weren't for something important, she would definitely come. So I find it strange that she didn't come today."

Ling Silang frowned slightly. "Don't worry, I'll go out and inquire tomorrow. Maybe her husband has something going on."

"Hmm, maybe it really is."

Du Mingxian was in a bad mood, so after dinner, Ling Silang took her into his spatial dimension to cheer her up.

For the next three days, Du Mingxian still didn't see Luo Xiu. She had a feeling that something must have happened. At the same time, she also observed carefully that the place where they were working was particularly strange.

When Du Mingxian returned home at noon, Aunt Xu happened to be coming back from outside. The two greeted each other, and she casually asked, "Aunt, why haven't you gone to work these past two days?"

Aunt Xu glanced at Du Mingxian, her eyes flickering, "I haven't been feeling well lately, so I haven't gone over."

Du Mingxian had a feeling something was wrong. "Auntie, why do you look so pale? Has something happened?"

Aunt Xu had been feeling restless for the past two days. After glancing around, she saw Du Mingxian heading straight for her room. Du Mingxian immediately became alert, but since she was skilled and had her own space, she wasn't worried about what Aunt Xu might do to her. So she followed her into the room.

There were two beds in Aunt Xu's room, one in each corner, separated by a curtain. The room was fairly clean, and there was a table next to it with some books on it.

After closing the door, Aunt Xu said mysteriously, "I...I'm telling you, when you're working there, you should talk less."

"Auntie, what happened?" Du Mingxian asked directly.

“There used to be a talkative woman in our house. I remember the second day after you went to work there, she was right next to you, and you were talking to each other. That person is dead.”

Du Mingxian's heart skipped a beat. Was it Luo Xiu?

"What's wrong, ma'am?"

Aunt Xu shook her head. "I only found out about the couple's unexpected death by chance."

"What does that have to do with how we work and talk?"

Aunt Xu's eyes were complicated. Perhaps she still had some conscience, remembering that she was the one who introduced the person, so she reminded her, "It doesn't matter. Just talk less, and you can be selected to go to the inner courtyard. You'll earn more money then."

"Auntie, do you know something?"

Aunt Xu was unwilling to say more. "I'm getting old, and my eyesight isn't good anymore. I've been going out these past few days trying to find someone to introduce me to, but I really don't know anything."

No, this person definitely knows something.

Seeing that the other party was unwilling to talk, Du Mingxian stopped asking and simply got up, saying, "It's getting late, Auntie, I'll go back to my room now."

"Go."

Back in the house, Du Mingxian sat there in a daze. After a while, Ling Silang returned, carrying a food box.

"Come and eat, we have some food ready today."

Seeing Ling Silang taking food out of the food box, Du Mingxian knew it was her second sister-in-law's cooking. "You're going back?"

"Xia Yu delivered it from the street."

"Then eat first."

Seeing that Du Mingxian was no longer speaking, Ling Silang guessed that she must be feeling unwell, so he didn't ask any more questions. He finished his meal in silence, and then Du Mingxian pulled Ling Silang into the space.

"The Luo Xiu I told you about a couple of days ago has gotten into trouble."

Ling Silang also went to investigate the day after Du Mingxian returned, but found nothing. "Did you investigate today?"

"No, I'll be back this afternoon, Aunt Xu..."

Du Mingxian recounted Aunt Xu's strange behavior, saying, "It feels very strange. I'll have Xia Yu and Chunfeng investigate. We can put the Wu family's matter aside for now."

"That's good. If you find out the truth, you'll feel more at ease."

"I'll go see them tonight."

"Okay, be careful."
