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

“We must be careful. Those people… probably won’t tolerate you doing needlework in the backyard.” Ling Silang was still worried about Du Mingxian.

Du Mingxian nodded gently. She knew a lot, but she... dared not tell the Crown Prince, nor could she tell Ling Silang.

She confessed about the space, but as for rebirth... well, forget it, it's too far-fetched.

Besides, if we really want to remind them, there are other ways. We can wait and see if the Crown Prince's people can find out. As long as they are not particularly incompetent, if they investigate carefully, the other party will definitely leave some clues.

If you really can't find it, then you can try to remind them.

However, it cannot be ruled out that there were other people behind Mr. Feng. In the end, the Third Prince only took Mr. Feng in to show his benevolence and righteousness. He gradually discovered that Mr. Feng was a talented person and eventually put him in a high-ranking position.

It's hard to say anything for sure.

"Don't worry, I don't plan to go out anytime soon. I was thinking of going home before the exam, but that's probably not possible now. I'm afraid someone is watching me. I... I'll stay here with you for now. Luckily, the exam is in a little over a month."

"Yes, I'm afraid things won't be peaceful during this period."

"Step by step."

After dinner, Du Mingxian wanted to leave the room, but Ling Silang wouldn't allow it. He insisted on having intimate contact on the bed before letting her out.

Du Mingxian had also had enough sleep. After coming out of the space, she heard arguing coming from the courtyard.

Lin Guixiang and Sun Tao started arguing again, and it was quite a fierce argument.

"Sun Tao, do you have a heart? How can you blame me for all this?" Lin Guixiang's voice sounded extremely aggrieved.

Du Mingxian thought for a moment and then lifted the curtain to go out. She saw that the door to Lin Guixiang and Sun Tao's room was open and the curtain was hanging up.

Sun Tao's voice was filled with suppressed emotion and helplessness, "These things aren't your fault, are they mine?"

“How can you blame me for everything? The child came to the capital with us, but you ignored him and focused only on your studies. I had to work and take care of him, so naturally I was a little negligent. And now you’re blaming me.”

Liu Ya went outside to fetch water, and Du Mingxian followed her to the well.

When Liu Ya saw Du Mingxian come out at this time, she knew that she had something to say: "These two are really having a terrible time."

Du Mingxian could tell the argument was about the child, but what exactly was the reason? She really didn't know what had happened in the space before.

“I came home late yesterday and was fast asleep, so I didn’t hear any noise in the yard.”

Liu Ya wasn't surprised at all. Although the arguing outside was quite loud, she had been to Du Mingxian's room before. The bed curtains were thick in winter, and she was sleeping soundly because she was tired, so it was normal that she didn't hear it.

"Because the child was crying, the child fainted from hunger this morning."

"Hunger-induced fainting?"

"Yes, the couple argued after the food incident that day. Sun Tao complained that Lin Guixiang didn't know how to take care of the child, so he's been venting his anger on this for the past two days."

"Lin Guixiang has also gone home. The workshop is closed. She was busy before, and it was understandable that the child hadn't eaten. But now she's not going to work and is just staying at home. After cooking, Lin Guixiang thought about the child's illness."

"I guess it wasn't intentional that she didn't feed the child, but rather that she was angry with Sun Tao. The child is also weak, so it all happened at once, and he fainted this morning."

Liu Ya sighed deeply at this point, "Neither of them really wants to take care of the child. Sun Tao is just using reading as an excuse. That day..."

At this point, she glanced around before leaning close to Du Mingxian and whispering, "I saw Sun Tao eating out by himself that day. He paid the bill in front of me and ate alone."

“I had just gotten home and was right behind him. He must have eaten something and was so happy that he didn’t notice me behind him. When I got back, I heard him deliberately telling Lin Guixiang that he was hungry.”

"This..." Du Mingxian didn't know what to say. This was probably something that happened during the New Year period when they didn't go to work. "These two... I can't talk about it."

Liu Ya agreed, "It's just that the children suffer. Their biological father isn't much better and doesn't take care of them much. Lin Guixiang is their stepmother, so she certainly won't worry about them much."

“I’ve seen them argue about the child several times, but today’s argument was the worst. If… if something really happens, these two will come to blows.”

"Let them be." What else could Du Mingxian say? Her biological father was there; he would always protect the child.

As the two talked, the arguing in Sun Tao's room subsided, leaving only Lin Guixiang's sobs.

Du Mingxian and Liu Ya exchanged a glance, both of them filled with helplessness. They felt sorry for Lin Guixiang and the others, after all, they had gone out together before. But no matter how much they felt sorry for them, they couldn't do anything for them and could only watch helplessly.

Liu Ya was unwilling to talk about Lin Guixiang anymore. "If your workshop can't operate now, does that mean it won't be able to operate in the future?"

"Well, the government took over. It seems the workshop was... illegal. But because we didn't know anything and were family members of this year's examinees, the government finally released us."

At this point, Du Mingxian sighed deeply, "We were lucky, too."

"Yes, you're lucky if you're not locked up. You're out of work now. How about I go ask my boss if he can give you some work? It's just that... the pay isn't very high."

Du Mingxian quickly waved her hand, "No need, no need. The exam is coming up soon, and I don't want to work anymore. These days, I'll focus on my husband and let him do well on the exam. Nothing else matters."

“We brought money with us before we came to the capital. Besides, after the exam, we might leave the capital directly, so it's not suitable for us to work there.”

Liu Ya understood this principle. Regardless of whether she passed the exam or not, she wouldn't work. However, she still wanted to work for another half month, as each extra day meant more money.

"Alright then, I hope we both have a good outcome."

"Hopefully."

The two didn't speak again. Liu Ya fetched water, tidied up, and then went to work, unlike Du Mingxian who was so leisurely.

Du Mingxian watched Liu Ya walk away, then fetched some water and walked in step by step. She found that Ling Silang had already tidied up the space, and she sent him out of the space.

Standing in the room, Ling Silang adjusted to the temperature. "What do you want for dinner? I'll make it."

"No need, you should just focus on your studies. The exam is coming up soon, you have to do your best."

"Okay, then I'll start reading?"

"Mm." Du Mingxian responded, stretched out her hand and placed a thick stack of books on his desk, then stretched and said, "Alright, you should study now, I'm going to lie down for a while."

The bed in the room was a bit cold, but she was wearing thick clothes now. As soon as Du Mingxian lay down, she felt that it wasn't as comfortable as she had thought. After tossing and turning for a while, she sighed and got out of bed.
