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

The two decided to investigate the Lin family's case first and began preparations.

Du Mingxian is going to Lord Wen's place, and she also has to go to the Crown Prince's place.

Ling Silang was still busy building connections, while Du Mingxian went to the Crown Prince's residence by herself. She entered through the side gate, and the person guarding the side gate was specially arranged by the Crown Prince and knew Du Mingxian.

Du Mingxian was taken to the front yard, and the housekeeper led her to a side hall to wait.

The Crown Prince is not here.

Du Mingxian waited quietly, knowing that seeing the Crown Prince wouldn't be so easy.

She waited from morning until noon, and the steward even arranged lunch for her. The Crown Prince didn't return until the afternoon, and she went directly to the side hall to see him without even having time to change her clothes.

"But what happened?" The Crown Prince asked, his eyes filled with deep worry.

Du Mingxian hurriedly stood up to greet him, "Greetings..."

The Crown Prince interrupted her as she was about to pay her respects, saying directly, "No need for formalities. Speak, what exactly happened?"

"Does Your Highness know about the Lin Minister case from more than ten years ago?"

The Crown Prince was older than Du Mingxian, but when the Lin Minister case occurred, the Crown Prince was just a child and might not have known about it.

"I know, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Du Mingxian recounted everything about herself and the Wen family, as well as her mother's relationship with the Wen family. Finally, she said, "My mother knows that she is a descendant of the Lin family and wants to overturn the Lin family's case."

The Crown Prince was surprised. The Lin family case had caused quite a stir at the time, and naturally many people had heard about it. Even though the Crown Prince was young, he was of noble status and knew something about court affairs.

"I never imagined the Lin family would have descendants."

"Yes." Du Mingxian thought for a moment and explained, "My mother must look very much like my maternal grandmother, which is why the old lady of the Wen family got the idea and sent people to investigate. Lord Wen also sent people to investigate, and that's how the matter was found out."

The Cheng family might have tried to cover up what happened before, but so many years have passed and everyone knows that the Lin family is extinct. They are no longer so strict about the things they framed before.

That's how they found out.

The Crown Prince pondered for a moment before saying, "Between the Wen family and you..." He didn't finish his sentence, but continued, "This matter was largely caused by the old lady of the Wen family. If the Lin family overturns the case, the old lady of the Wen family will be the first to suffer, and the Wen family will inevitably be implicated."

Du Mingxian had already considered this. "I thought I would first speak to His Highness, and then go to the Wen family to discuss this matter with... Lord Wen, and see what his attitude is."

The Crown Prince nodded. "Lord Wen is now a Minister. There is actually a chance for this matter to turn around. The mastermind is the Cheng family. Let's investigate which family contributed back then and take revenge together."

"As for the Wen family... apart from Old Madam Wen, everyone else is innocent. In fact, the Wen family is your maternal family, and Lord Wen is your uncle."

Du Mingxian understood. "Yes, so this matter needs to be discussed properly. Lord Wen has treated me well."

The Crown Prince was quite satisfied with Du Mingxian's attitude. "I know about this matter. I will also check the case files from that year to see which other families were involved besides the Cheng family."

"Thank you, Your Highness."

“If this matter really needs to be overturned, you can ask your grandmother to come to the capital.”

Du Mingxian frowned slightly; she hadn't intended to involve her grandmother.

“Your mother has no power in the capital now. If she really wants to overturn the case… I’m afraid someone is pulling strings behind the scenes. If we bring your maternal grandmother back directly and she takes the lead, then the evil spirits behind the scenes shouldn’t dare to show their faces.”

“Grandma is doing very well in the county. Now that my uncle has also gotten married, I’m afraid Grandma will soon be enjoying her grandchildren. I don’t want to disrupt such a peaceful life because of me.”

The Crown Prince secretly hoped that the old lady could return. When Du Mingxian mentioned this matter earlier, he thought of an excuse to get the old lady to return to the capital.

Moreover, if the old lady returns to Beijing, this matter with the Lin family will be much easier to handle.

He didn't lie to her about one thing: the Ling family has no power in the capital now. Even with his protection, Ling Silang's matter is not yet finished, so it's not advisable to expose their relationship.

Although he was acting as regent, his father was still in power. The Lin family incident was the first major case after his father ascended the throne.

Bringing this up now would undoubtedly be a slap in the face to the Emperor, but it would be different if the old lady returned to the capital.

"You may want to consider this matter further, as we need to see what Lord Wen thinks. After all, the Wen family is the one who will suffer the most after this incident."

On one hand, Madam Zhou is Lord Wen's blood relative, but on the other hand, Old Madam Wen is Lord Wen's mother. No matter which side it is, it is all about family ties.

"Yes."

The Crown Prince asked again, "Is there anything else?"

"Gone."

The crown prince stood up. "Alright, then you can go back."

"Yes."

Du Mingxian left. After leaving the Crown Prince's residence, it got dark. She didn't go back to the tenement, but went directly to the Wen family.

Lord Wen is very busy, with many things to do at the end of the year. Wen Yibin is also very busy, rarely home.

Du Mingxian arrived at a perfect time, just as her shift was ending. When she reached the door, she happened to run into Lord Wen, who was returning from outside.

Lord Wen was quite happy to see Du Mingxian arrive. "Let's go."

As the two walked inside, Lord Wen asked, "Have you not had dinner yet?"

"Never."

"Someone, go and prepare dinner."

Du Mingxian opened her mouth several times but couldn't say anything. Lord Wen noticed this and said, "We can talk about it after we finish eating."

Du Mingxian didn't say anything more and obediently ate with Lord Wen.

The food served by the servants consisted of some of her favorite dishes from her time at the Wen residence, showing that the servants had put thought into it.

After finishing his meal with mixed feelings, Lord Wen had the dishes cleaned up before taking Du Mingxian to his study. As they walked, he instructed the servants, "Go see if Fourth Master has returned. If he is home, have him come to the study."

"Yes."

Du Mingxian opened her mouth, wondering why she had called Wen Yibin over at this time. But seeing Lord Wen walking forward with firm steps, she didn't say anything more.

Upon arriving at the study and sitting down, a servant announced from outside, "Master, Fourth Master is at the manor and says he will be here in a quarter of an hour."

"it is good."

Lord Wen sat down, and Du Mingxian followed suit. The study was quiet, and the servants quietly served tea and then left.

"I……"

Lord Wen raised his hand, "I know why you've come. Wait a moment for your fourth uncle."

Du Mingxian was completely exasperated and simply sat and waited for someone to come over.

Wen Yibin arrived even faster than the news spread. He wasn't surprised at all when he saw Du Mingxian as he entered the room. "Big brother, Mingxian."

"sit."

Wen Yibin sat down, his gaze sweeping over the two of them before turning to Du Mingxian and saying, "Speak."

“My mother wants to overturn the verdict against the Lin family.”

Lord Wen seemed to have considered this beforehand and wasn't surprised. Wen Yibin also knew about this matter, but since it involved Old Madam Wen, their own mother, this matter...

"The Lin family's case is indeed a miscarriage of justice. Why don't we discuss this further? Mingxian, what do you want to do?"
