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

Xu Chang arrived shortly after the two left the space.

"Brother Ling, I accidentally left my handkerchief in your room and came to retrieve it." Xu Chang's voice came through the door.

Du Mingxian could hear his voice trembling inside, as if he was suppressing something.

Ling Silang opened the door and handed the handkerchief to Xu Chang. "I was thinking of bringing it to you, but it was getting late, so I didn't go. I didn't expect Brother Xu to come looking for me first."

"Brother Ling is married now, so it's really inappropriate for the handkerchief to be left in Brother Ling's room. That's why I came over in such a hurry."

Ling Silang handed over the handkerchief, saying, "Brother Xu, please take this."

As Xu Chang took the handkerchief, Ling Silang handed him the pills at the same moment they touched.

Xu Chang's hand trembled again, as if burned by the pill, but he still accepted the gift. "Thank you, Brother Ling. I'll head back now."

"it is good."

Watching Xu Chang leave, Du Mingxian and Ling Silang stood by the window and the door, respectively, peeking through the crack as Xu Chang returned to his room.

They were taking a risk by doing this, since they had little contact with each other and who knew if what Aunt Xu and the others said was true? One should always be wary of others.

After watching Xu Chang return to his room, the couple took turns keeping watch. It was late at night, and everyone was already asleep.

Du Mingxian wanted to stay and watch over the place, but Ling Silang told her to go and rest while he stayed on.

So she didn't go into the space, but just lay on the bed in the room.

In the dead of night, when most people are fast asleep, Du Mingxian felt something moving on the roof tiles above her head, and she immediately opened her eyes.

It's a murderous aura; those people are here.

She slowly sat up from the bed. Ling Silang, who was guarding the window, was now very sensitive. When he sensed someone, he saw Du Mingxian sit up from the bed, which made him even more vigilant. He tightened his grip on the poison powder in his hand.

The atmosphere became tense at that moment.

Du Mingxian sensed the person on the roof moving forward. Du Mingxian got up silently, and like a cat, she moved without making a sound. She quietly walked to the window.

Looking out the window, I could see two people standing on the roof of the building opposite.

Suddenly another person jumped down from their room in the west wing.

Du Mingxian saw that the other party was holding a sword, and knew that they had come to silence her. She also took a sword and prepared to rush out to save the person.

Just as the people in the courtyard had quietly reached the door of Aunt Xu's room, with their knives almost poking through the crack in the door, the light in the room suddenly came on, followed by Aunt Xu's scream.

"Chang'er, Chang'er, Chang'er, don't scare your mother, how did you get so burned?"

Aunt Xu's voice was like a needle, piercing a hole in the tense, dull, and chilling barrier, and then that feeling disappeared.

Du Mingxian was only stunned for a moment when she saw the man in black, then she leaped up and flew over the courtyard wall.

Immediately following was Liu Ya rushing out anxiously, her voice asking in the courtyard, "Auntie, what's wrong?"

Du Mingxian could see Liu Ya putting on her clothes as she walked towards the door of Aunt Xu's room, leaving just a few seconds apart from the man in black.

The three men in black disappeared together. Liu Ya rushed to the door of Aunt Xu's room and asked anxiously.

Du Mingxian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, put the things in her hand into her spatial storage, and said to Ling Silang, "Go and get some sleep, I'll go check on things."

"go together."

"Alright."

The two did not go out immediately because their clothes were fine, and rushing out now would arouse suspicion. Naturally, they needed some time to get dressed.

After the two left, Liu Ya had already entered the Xu family's house. The light in Guo Chen's room in the courtyard was also on, as was the light in the room in the east wing that was close to the main house, but no one came out.

Du Mingxian and Ling Silang went in and heard Xu Da Niang's anxious voice. Her face was pale. It was a cold day and the room was not warm. Xu Da Niang, who was wearing her undergarments, was covered in sweat and looked as if she had been pulled out of the water.

Liu Ya didn't notice Aunt Xu, but hurriedly said, "Why don't I go and find a doctor for you, Aunt? I see that Young Master Xu has such a high fever, it definitely won't do if a doctor doesn't come."

Aunt Xu was extremely nervous at this moment. Du Mingxian stepped forward and quietly slipped a handkerchief into Aunt Xu's hand, and held her cold hand in her own. "Aunt, everything will be alright. You stay here and watch over him. My husband and I will go out and find a doctor to come and take a look at Young Master Xu."

Hearing Du Mingxian's voice, she finally came to her senses. As if seeing a lifeline, she snapped out of it and grabbed Du Mingxian's hand.

"It's too late now."

“It’s alright. My husband is a man after all. It’s better for us to go together than for Sister Liu to go alone.” Du Mingxian could feel her hands trembling, so she could only comfort her, “With a doctor there, everything will be fine. Don’t be nervous.”

Aunt Xu took a few deep breaths. "Then I'll have to trouble you."

“Auntie, you must take good care of yourself. Young Master Xu is already like this, you must not collapse, otherwise who will take care of him?”

"I know I know."

Aunt Xu felt a handkerchief in her hand and instinctively wiped her face. Only then did Liu Ya realize that Aunt Xu was not wearing a cotton-padded coat, so she hurriedly took it from the side and draped it over her.

Just then, a voice came from the doorway, "Do you need any help?"

Du Mingxian turned around and saw that it was the room in the east wing where the light had just been turned on, and a man in his twenties, Yue Xiang thought.

Ling Silang reacted quickly, "Brother Xu has a high fever and needs to see a doctor. Why don't you come with me, Brother Le?"

"Okay." Le Xiang had no objection. He had heard some noise over there, and the cries were quite pitiful. Since they lived in the same courtyard, he naturally wanted to help.

And so, the two men left to find a doctor, while Du Mingxian and Liu Ya stayed behind.

Both women were married and could not personally take care of the children; they could only do some simple tasks.

Liu Ya went to light a fire in the clay stove, while Du Mingxian whispered in Aunt Xu's ear, "Don't worry, it'll be alright."

Aunt Xu didn't say anything, but squeezed Du Mingxian's hand tightly and said to the two people in the room, "Thank you for coming to help me."

Du Mingxian knew that Aunt Xu had other thanks to her.

Liu Ya smiled innocently, "We all live in the same courtyard, it's fate that we met. Don't be shy, Auntie, and don't worry, Young Master Xu will definitely be alright."

"I hope everything's alright," Aunt Xu said, but she had seen what had just happened clearly.

She didn't sleep tonight. When her son came home, he said that the Ling couple had given him medicine, and he was willing to take it for their lives. Before Aunt Xu could stop him, her son took the medicine.

When Aunt Xu saw her son taking the medicine, she was filled with regret. They had only known each other for a few days. Who knew that the other party was An Shixin? What if he was afraid that her son was talented and deliberately framed him? If there was one less candidate, then candidate Ling would have a better chance?
