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

Lin Guixiang's vision was already blurred by tears. She got up, lifted the curtain, and saw the people standing at the door. She said, "Come in."

Du Mingxian and Liu Ya went inside, but Ling Silang didn't go in, as it wasn't convenient for him.

The two rushed in and went to the bedside to check on the child. Du Mingxian saw that the child's face clearly showed signs of poisoning. She got up and said to Lin Guixiang, who was sitting to the side crying, "My husband knows a little about medicine. The doctor hasn't arrived yet. Why don't we let him come in and take a look first?"

"Anything is fine." Lin Guixiang's voice was extremely hoarse. She didn't stop others from coming in to see the child, but she wasn't interested either.

Du Mingxian lifted the curtain to let Ling Silang in, and Ling Silang went to the side to take the child's pulse.

Liu Ya only glanced at it before walking over to Lin Guixiang and asking, "What happened?"

“I don’t know either. We all eat the same food. The child was perfectly fine, but then suddenly he seems to have been poisoned. Sun Tao insists that I poisoned the child. I may be a stepmother, but why would I poison the child?”

“If I really wanted to kill the child, there are many ways. I wouldn’t have to resort to such methods. But he doesn’t believe me. He doesn’t believe me at all. I really don’t know what to say.” Lin Guixiang was truly aggrieved.

“I said we all eat the same food, and he said I put poison in the bowl, and that I gave the child a separate small bowl. Isn’t it normal to give a small child a small bowl?”

“I treated him so well with all my heart, but he didn’t appreciate it at all. He always doubted me and said that I was not good to his children. Being a stepmother is really hard.”

"If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have just let the child stay at home and be taken care of by his grandmother and other family members. That would have saved me so much trouble."

"With my identity, no matter how many good deeds I do, no one will remember them. But if there's even the slightest problem, it's all my fault. The problem is, I haven't done anything like that at all."

She was so wronged.

After taking Du Mingxian's pulse, Ling Silang nodded, and Du Mingxian could roughly guess what was going on.

The child was young and likely already had health problems. Lin Guixiang brought back a lot of food, so naturally a lot was given to the child, who was allowed to eat freely, and that's how the accident happened.

Lin Guixiang was truly wronged in this matter.

Ling Silang went out, and Du Mingxian followed him out. The two quickly went back into the house.

"It's that poison."

However, Du Mingxian used up all the antidote she had prepared that day.

"The doctor we invited should be able to detoxify him, right?"

Ling Silang shook his head. "I can't be sure."

"Then I'll send you into my space first. You can prepare the medicine there. I'll act according to the situation later."

"it is good."

Ling Silang was sent into the space, while Du Mingxian went to Lin Guixiang's house.

"The child is still young, it may be something he ate. Don't worry too much. When a child is sick, adults are anxious. Your husband is also anxious, that's why he's saying these things."

That's all she can offer these words of advice now.

Lin Guixiang kept shaking her head, "No, I was the one who fell in love with him first when I remarried. I didn't mind that he had a child, but who knew that he... he had such thoughts in his heart and treated me like that."

Du Mingxian really didn't know what to say.

Liu Ya chimed in, "Let's wait for the doctor to come and check on the child. It's understandable that we're worried about the child being sick. Your argument was just a fit of anger, and he'll understand eventually."

Lin Guixiang felt so wronged that tears streamed down her face.

Du Mingxian and Liu Ya could only offer advice; there was nothing else they could do.

A short while later, Sun Tao returned with a doctor. After taking his pulse, the doctor fell silent. "These symptoms indicate poisoning, but this poison... I'll treat it slowly. I can't determine what kind of poison he's been given right now."

This alarmed everyone. Du Mingxian saw that Ling Silang had already prepared the medicine in the space, so she stepped forward and reminded him, "Isn't there a medicine that can cure all poisons? The child is already like this, so let's give him the antidote first, and then observe him. Time is of the essence."

The doctor couldn't determine what kind of poison it was, but he could tell it was poisoning. Now that he had been reminded of the Hundred Poison Pill, he had a plan in mind and immediately went to prepare it.

Sun Tao went along to get the medicine.

The medicine was brought back in no time; they were all newcomers to the capital and had no pot for decocting medicine.

“I have some at home. I’ll brew the medicine for you. You should check on Guixiang first. She would never poison the child alone.”

Sun Tao was also in a state of confusion. Hearing Du Mingxian's words, he felt grateful and said, "Thank you, thank you."

"You're welcome." Du Mingxian took the medicine and headed straight home.

Seeing that Du Mingxian had left, Liu Ya didn't follow her. It was getting dark, and Ling Silang was in Du Mingxian's room, so it wasn't convenient for her to go over. She could only go home first.

Du Mingxian returned to the room and took Ling Silang out of the space. In just a short while, Ling Silang's medicine was almost ready.

The medicine that Sun Tao got from the doctor was put into Du Mingxian's space, while she continued to brew the medicine prepared by Ling Silang outside.

When it was almost time, Du Mingxian carried the medicine and went over with Ling Silang. When they knocked on the door again, Sun Tao opened it and hurriedly welcomed them in.

"Thank you so much for your help."

“We’re neighbors, and Guixiang and I go in and out together every day. Hurry up and give it to the child.”

Sun Tao took the bowl and tried to feed the child the medicine, but being a man, the only one in the family who was educated, and not very skilled at anything, he was clumsy and didn't know how to feed the child the medicine.

Lin Guixiang went over and took the bowl, saying, "Go pick up the baby, I'll feed him."

Sun Tao picked up the child, and Lin Guixiang fed the child the medicine little by little.

Du Mingxian and Ling Silang watched them take the medicine. After they finished, Du Mingxian took her empty bowl and spoon before going home with Ling Silang.

The next morning, Du Mingxian didn't go, but Lin Guixiang was ready to go and came over to call Du Mingxian.

Du Mingxian wrapped herself up very tightly. "I caught a cold, so I won't be going today. You go ahead and ask for leave for me."

"Okay, then go see a doctor and get some medicine quickly."

"Okay, how is the child?"

"I'm fine after taking the medicine last night, I'm all better now." Lin Guixiang clearly didn't want to talk about the child anymore, and simply waved her hand, "Then I'll be going now."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian watched Lin Guixiang leave before returning to her room. It was still early, so she wasn't in a hurry to go out; she was going to the Crown Prince's residence today.

She went with Ling Silang today. Yesterday, Ling Silang went to tell the Crown Prince about the matter, and the Crown Prince asked them to come together today.

After getting up and having breakfast, I slowly made my way to the Crown Prince's residence.

"Now that the Crown Prince is well, why hasn't he moved to the East Palace?" Du Mingxian was quite curious. In the past, when the Crown Prince was in poor health, even though he was the Crown Prince, a special Crown Prince's residence was built for him outside the palace so that he could live comfortably. But now he hasn't moved to the East Palace.

Ling Silang chuckled, "Anyway, it's the Crown Prince who ascended to that position. Now that he lives in the Crown Prince's residence, it's no different from the Eastern Palace. It's just a matter of their word, and it won't affect the Crown Prince's status."

"That's true."

The two arrived at the Crown Prince's residence. The Crown Prince had not gone out that day and was waiting at the residence. The two soon met the Crown Prince.

After Du Mingxian and Ling Silang exchanged greetings, they were offered a seat.

The Crown Prince spoke first, “The Cheng family has been raided. Children under the age of three are exempt from punishment, males over the age of fifteen are beheaded, those under the age of fifteen are exiled, and female relatives are sold into prostitution.”

Du Mingxian knew that this was what the Crown Prince had told her. She couldn't say whether this result was good or bad, but... the sins suffered by the Cheng family's ancestors were now being punished on their descendants.

"Thank you, Your Highness."
