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

Ling Silang put down his pen. "How was your trip today? Did they give you any trouble?"

"They didn't make things difficult for me, but I need to eat early. After eating, I need to go with Sister Liu Ya and keep up with her. That way, I'll have a better chance of being selected to go to the inner courtyard."

This was something the two of them had discussed, and Ling Silang had no objections. "Okay, then I'll help you cook. I heard Liu Ya has been back for quite a while, and she's probably already eating."

"It's nothing. You just boil some water, and I'll go into my space to heat up some food to eat outside. I'll cook something proper tonight."

"to make."

Sure enough, Du Mingxian took out some food from her spatial storage and ate quickly. Just as she finished eating, she heard Liu Ya telling Jiang Liting that they were going out.

She gave Ling Silang a look, wiped her mouth, and hurried out.

"Sister Liu Ya, wait for me."

Liu Ya turned around and saw Du Mingxian running towards her. She was quite surprised. "Aren't you going to rest for a while today?"

"No, no, I will follow in Sister Liu's footsteps and work hard from now on."

Liu Ya looked at her hesitantly.

"I...I don't mean to go to the inner courtyard. My husband always likes to go out and makes friends with the students. But the money goes out quickly, so I want to earn more."

“You know I wasn’t very serious about my job before, so now I want to work hard and earn more money in the inner courtyard,” Du Mingxian said earnestly.

Liu Ya's expression was complicated. "Instead of thinking about making more money, you should just do what I reminded you at noon: have your husband go out less and study more. Solve the problem at its root. Besides, we came to the capital for the exam."

"Also, the people in the inner court might not be as good as you think. Don't let money blind you."

Du Mingxian stopped walking and looked at Liu Ya nervously, "Do you know something?"

Liu Ya shook her head and continued walking forward. "No, but I feel something is strange."

"What's strange about Sister Liu Ya?"

Liu Ya glanced at Du Mingxian, then silently continued walking forward.

Du Mingxian didn't rush her. After a while, she said, "Don't you find it strange? Although wages are high in the capital, they are not as high as ours."

"The wages for working in the inner courtyard are higher, already exceeding a certain range, which is particularly strange."

"If there's something strange, don't be curious, don't try to test it, and don't try to figure it out. Staying away is the best course of action."

Very perceptive.

"Sister Liu Ya is really amazing."

Liu Ya waved her hand, "It's not that I'm good, it's that I'm not greedy. I've also talked to my husband about this. He said that anything that goes beyond the normal rules is inherently problematic."

Both of them are extraordinary people.

“I didn’t want to say these things, but we live in the same courtyard, so that’s fate.”

"Sister Liu, since you know this is wrong, why don't you just not go?"

Liu Ya smiled, a particularly sweet smile. "I had thought about not going before, but my husband said that the inner courtyard is the place we shouldn't go, and the outer courtyard is just bait they've laid out."

"I can take the bait, but as long as I don't bite too hard, I can let go and still get what I want. Why not?"

Du Mingxian was extremely impressed.

"Thank you for saying all this to me."

Liu Ya jumped up and grabbed Du Mingxian nervously, saying, "You absolutely mustn't tell anyone these things, I... I don't want to die."

She used to be the most tight-lipped, but how come she told everything when Du Mingxian asked her? She deserves to die.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Ling Silang is not within anyone's scope.

"I...Brother Jiang told me not to tell anyone, I...I..."

Du Mingxian knew she was nervous. "Don't worry, I really won't tell anyone."

"Thank you, let's go quickly." Liu Ya decided to talk less in the future, because the more she said, the more mistakes she made.

Du Mingxian realized that Liu Ya was someone she could get to know better. Many people wouldn't see what Liu Ya said today, and Jiang Liting wasn't just a bookworm; he also had some ideas.

Neither of them spoke after that, not even when they arrived at the workshop.

Once inside, the two of them buried themselves in their work.

By the end of the afternoon, Du Mingxian had sewed one and a half garments and received payment for one garment. She would pay for the remaining half the next morning after it was finished.

However, she didn't leave with Liu Ya in the afternoon, but stayed a little longer.

Liu Ya is going to buy groceries, but she doesn't need to.

But he didn't overdo it. He worked for a while and then went home. When he got home, he ran into Liu Ya, who was coming back from buying groceries. She had already gone into the back room to prepare to cook.

Ling Silang didn't return. Du Mingxian prepared the things needed for dinner, but he still hadn't come back, so she simply went to Aunt Xu's house.

She knocked on the door, and Aunt Xu opened it and welcomed her inside. Many things inside had already been put away.

"Is this all set?"

"Yes, I'll leave tomorrow."

"Have a safe journey, ma'am."

"Thank you." Aunt Xu felt extremely sad, but there was nothing she could do to alleviate her pain, so she could only endure it.

Du Mingxian took Xu Da Niang's hand and said, "Don't be sad, Da Niang. Once Xu Chang is better, he can take the exam again. Three years is enough time to accumulate a lot of knowledge."

"Yes, yes." Aunt Xu felt a small bottle in her palm, and she subconsciously put it away, looking up at Du Mingxian.

Du Mingxian whispered two words, "Antidote."

Aunt Xu understood. "Thank you."

"Auntie, don't be so polite with me. If you hadn't introduced me to this job, I wouldn't have a way to make money right now."

Now, when the garment workshop is mentioned, Aunt Xu gets incredibly excited. She grabs Du Mingxian's hand and says, "Child, you... if you can avoid going, then don't go. Don't get yourself into trouble, okay?"

"No, I have to tell Liu Ya about this too. I invited all of us in, and we all live in the same courtyard."

I introduced these two people to the company not so they could make more money. There's a referral fee for each person I introduce, and I was after that fee.

But who could have imagined that place...

Looking back now, if something had happened to them while they were working there, she would never have been able to atone for her sins. Her son still had to take the exam in three years, and she wanted to do good deeds for him.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'll talk to Sister Liu about this. Don't worry." Du Mingxian wouldn't let Aunt Xu go over there. When she came back this afternoon, she felt that someone was watching the yard.

They must be watching Aunt Xu.

These people don't speak quietly. If Aunt Xu goes to tell Liu Ya, not only Liu Ya, but she herself will be in danger.

The key point is that Liu Ya herself understood things very well, and there was absolutely no need for Aunt Xu to say anything.

Aunt Xu didn't notice Du Mingxian's change and kept nodding, "Okay, okay, since that's the case, then you go and tell her. You two must be careful. I won't go looking for her."

"Alright, Auntie, take care of what's in front of you first. Taking care of Xuchang is the most important thing."
