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

Ling Silang smelled it and even took a bite. "I'll go to my space to get some medicine for Mother."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian escorted Ling Silang into the space and guarded it from the outside. She could observe the movements inside the space, and only brought him out after Ling Silang had prepared the medicine.

The medicine came from the space, but it couldn't be given directly to the people below to brew. So Du Mingxian took the medicine out, then came back, gave it to Chunfeng and the others to brew.

Inside the room, Ling Silang asked, "Did you tell Mother what happened? After she learned the truth, she was burned like this?"

"Yes, I fainted shortly after hearing that. I called a doctor, but before I could even take the medicine, I still hadn't woken up and then I started to have a fever."

Ling Silang was also helpless, "This matter is too big. Let alone someone like Mother, even we couldn't bear to hear such news."

"Yes." Du Mingxian sighed. "Now it depends on what Mother wants to do. If Mother wants to overturn the Lin family's case, I will support her."

"it is good."

After the medicine was brewed, Ling Silang and Du Mingxian stayed in the room to keep watch. Xu Tingting wanted to come in, but she was too embarrassed to come in with Ling Silang there, so she could only anxiously wait in her room.

As dawn approached, Da Zhou's fever finally subsided, and Ling Silang returned to his room to rest. Du Mingxian didn't move, but Xu Tingting followed her in.

"How is my aunt?"

"The fever just broke, but the person is still unconscious."

"Go and rest. I'll stay here and watch over your aunt. Once the fever goes down, she'll be fine."

Du Mingxian was indeed a little tired. "Then I'll trouble you, cousin. I'm going to sleep."

"Go to sleep, I'll stay here." Xu Tingting was worried all night, and in fact, she hadn't slept a wink either, but she knew her place.

Firstly, she was the niece that Du Mingxian bought for the Zhou family. In essence, she was a slave, but Du Mingxian felt at ease and returned them to their slave status.

Secondly, she got along very well with Da Zhou Shi and liked this aunt very much. She really treated Da Zhou Shi like her own aunt, so she was really worried when her aunt had a fever.

Du Mingxian knew that Da Zhou was not seriously ill. She had even given her some spiritual water during the night, so when she went back to her room to sleep, she felt at ease and slept soundly until noon.

Ling Silang wasn't around, but they could hear people talking quietly in the courtyard.

As soon as Du Mingxian made a sound, Chunfeng asked from outside. When she responded, several people around her brought in the toiletries.

After moving out, she had no one to take care of her for a long time. When she saw them bringing things in, she was stunned and felt a little uncomfortable.

How is my mother?

"The old lady has woken up. Miss Biao served her something to eat, and she is resting in her room now, with Miss Biao keeping her company."

After quietly washing up and eating a simple meal, Du Mingxian went to see Da Zhou Shi.

Xu Tingting didn't go out today, and Ling's mother didn't bring An'an to Da Zhou's side either. She looked after her by herself, with servants below who could help.

Ling's mother went in to make sure that Da Zhou was alright, asked a few questions, and then went out to check on An'an.

She guessed that something big must have happened for her mother-in-law to act this way. If they really needed their help, Mingxian would have asked. Since they hadn't asked, it probably meant they didn't need it.

In the room of the Zhou family.

When Madam Zhou saw the dark circles under Xu Tingting's eyes, she knew she hadn't slept all night. Feeling much better now, she was trying to persuade her, "Go to sleep. You can stay here with me."

"Auntie, please let me stay here for a while. I want to stay with you." Xu Tingting didn't want to leave. Although she hadn't slept, she was still in good spirits.

Madam Zhou stared at her helplessly, "You should go to sleep and get a good night's rest."

Just then, Du Mingxian came in and saw Xu Tingting's condition. "Cousin, go to sleep. I'll stay here and watch over her."

Du Mingxian arrived, and Xu Tingting knew they had something to talk about, so she didn't insist on staying. "Okay, then I'll go to sleep."

"go quickly."

After Xu Tingting left, Du Mingxian sat on the edge of the bed and noticed that Madam Zhou didn't look well. "Mother, how are you feeling? Is there anything else that's bothering you?"

"I'm much better. Did I scare you yesterday?"

"Ah."

Du Mingxian was really frightened yesterday. "Mother, you must be alright. I only have one mother in this world. If something really happens to you, how will I live?"

Madam Zhou's eyes reddened. "It was just that I didn't think it through for a moment. I won't do it again."

"Mother, you must take good care of yourself."

"Don't worry, Mom is fine. She's recovered."

"Is it because you were too heartbroken to hear the news?"

Madam Zhou nodded. "I never imagined I had such a troubled past. Does the Cheng family really have that much power? From what you're saying, the Lin family held a higher official position than the Cheng family back then. How could the Cheng family have... harmed the Lin family so badly?"

“Mother, some people are upright, and some people are scheming. Cats have their ways, and dogs have their ways. The Lin family is upright, but the Cheng family is not. They will use all sorts of means to do this.”

"As long as the goal is achieved, the Cheng family must have joined forces with others. The Lin family is not without rivals in the officialdom. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. If the Lin family is surrounded by people with ill intentions, how long do you think they can last, no matter how powerful they are?"

What Du Mingxian didn't say was that an emperor likes loyal ministers, but if a minister's power gradually grows and reaches a point where even the emperor is wary, then he will definitely eliminate him.

The Lin family's downfall was likely due to the excessive success of its descendants, which aroused jealousy and led to their eventual misfortune.

I'm afraid that even if the Cheng family hadn't been behind this, someone else would have done it in a different way.

However, now that the Cheng family has done it, it involves her mother, so they need to consider whether or not to seek revenge.

If you want revenge, how do you do it?

Looking at her daughter, Madam Zhou said truthfully, "I was shocked to learn this. I thought the Lin family must be very kind. My birth was dishonorable, but they still tried their best to protect me and wanted me to appear in front of people openly as a young lady of the Lin family."

“Mingxian, based on this alone, I hope the Lin family’s case can be cleared of injustice.”

The Lin family is kind.

Du Mingxian also leaned towards this view. Those who died unjustly probably guessed these things when Lord Wen showed them to her. Lord Wen must have also found some information or evidence of the Cheng family's crimes.

"Mother, I'll think of something."

Madam Zhou held her hand tightly. "We are ordinary people now, so it will definitely be difficult for us to do this. The Cheng family are officials, after all. I want to overturn the case, but I want you to be safe even more."
