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

Finally, after the bricks were laid down, the two sides were connected. However, in the private room that Wu Daniu had booked, this spot was occupied by a painting.

After confirming the location was clear, Du Mingxian went to Wu Daniu's private room and carefully disguised the hole she had drilled with gauze. Unless you pressed hard, it wouldn't be noticeable.

She put the painting away, and then Xiao Zhoushi arrived.

"Are you done?"

"It's all done. Now we just need to test its effectiveness." Du Mingxian said to Xiao Zhoushi, "Second Sister-in-law, where's Chen Ming?"

"coming."

"I'll go find him."

"You don't need to go, you're busy, I'll go and call him over."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Second Sister-in-law."

"It's no trouble for family."

As soon as Xiao Zhou left, Du Mingxian saw Chen Ming come in. "Go find some paper, pen, and ink. Go next door."

"it is good."

Little Zhou was completely bewildered. "What are you trying to do?"

"Second sister-in-law, please wait here for me. I'll go make some arrangements for Chen Ming and I'll be right there."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian went next door, and Chen Ming quickly came over. Du Mingxian had already brought a table to the cave. "You stay here and listen through the hole to see what we said next door. If you can hear it clearly, write it down. If you can't hear it, you don't need to write it down."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian went next door, while Madam Zhou was still sitting in the private room waiting. She was very curious when she saw Du Mingxian come in. "Is everything arranged?"

"All arranged. Second sister-in-law, do you have any good gossip lately?"

"Yes, there's plenty of gossip. What do you want to hear?"

"It sounds nice, but let's keep our voices down for a bit."

“Okay.” Little Zhou didn’t understand, but she didn’t ask. She just liked talking to Du Mingxian.

"Second sister-in-law, tell me some gossip, any kind of gossip is fine."

"If we walk straight down this street, the owner of the grocery store beat his wife to death."

"That's outrageous! They just beat him to death. Why didn't the authorities arrest him?" When she came over this morning, she saw that the grocery store was still open.

Little Zhou looked mysterious. "It's really hard to say right now. Everyone knows he was beaten to death by that boss, but there's no evidence. Everyone's just guessing."

"That's it..."

"That woman was very pitiful. She was pregnant. The man's family favored boys over girls. I heard that the midwife determined that the woman was carrying a girl, and the family was unhappy about it. They thought girls were no good and they attacked her."

Du Mingxian was truly shocked this time, "The woman's family didn't show up?"

"No, this isn't the first time the owner has done something like this. The woman's family is quite far from the capital, so naturally no one has come to seek justice for her."

"This family is very shrewd."

"That's for sure..."

Little Zhou chatted with Du Mingxian about gossip for almost half an hour. When she felt it was about time, Du Mingxian got up and said, "Second sister-in-law, you and second brother should be careful lately, and don't let Wu Daniu see you."

"Don't worry, your second brother has been thinking about opening another restaurant in Beijing or the surrounding area lately. He's never in the restaurant, and your cousin is the only one supporting it."

“I’m in charge of the kitchen, and I rarely come out. Wu Daniu probably won’t notice me, and I won’t appear in front of him.”

Du Mingxian simply gave a brief instruction, without saying there was anything she absolutely had to do, and replied, "I understand, thank you, Second Sister-in-law."

"You're being too polite with me."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony with you. I'll be going now and see how Chen Ming does."

"it is good."

When Du Mingxian came out, the door to the next room was still closed. She pushed the door open and went in. Chen Ming was still writing furiously, with a piece of paper next to him, and she didn't know what he was working on.

Did you hear what was going on next door?

"I heard you, I need to tidy it up a bit more."

"Okay, I'll wait for you outside."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian went outside to wait, and Chen Mingfei quickly finished tidying up and came out to find Du Mingxian. "These are all the things I've tidied up."

Du Mingxian saw several sheets of paper, quite thick, and took them to look at them one by one.

Chen Ming is a talented person; his work is so accurate that it's almost perfect, with no major differences. He has basically perfected everything.

"Not bad, really good."

Du Mingxian was very satisfied. "Next, I'm going to give you a task."

"Go ahead," Chen Ming said, his eyes filled with utmost seriousness.

"You'll be working in the restaurant as a waiter. When people enter that private room, go next door and listen to what they're saying from your previous spot. Write it all down without missing a single word."

"Make a note of whenever someone comes to the private room, and I'll come to you to get my things later."

Chen Ming had always wanted to follow Ling Silang, but after arriving in the capital, Ling Silang was also very busy. When the two of them went out, neither of them was at home, so he was left idle, which he disliked very much.

Now that he has finally been assigned a task, he is particularly eager to do it well. "Yes, I will definitely do my best."

Du Mingxian looked at the boy who was already taller than her and said, "Work hard, I believe in you."

"Ah."

Chen Ming really liked Du Mingxian calling him "sister".

Du Mingxian gently patted his shoulder. "Alright, you can go ahead and get busy. When there's no one in that private room, you can do whatever you want. If you feel bored, you can also go to the private room where we were taking notes and read a book."

"From now on, that private room will be exclusively for your use."

"Don't worry, sister, I'll definitely do a good job."

"Yes, I believe you. Now I'm going to restore that place a little." Du Mingxian suddenly thought of something and said, "You have to remember one thing: that position is mutual. If you can hear other people talking, others can naturally hear what's going on on your side, so you have to be careful and not let anyone find out."

She only dared to do this because the restaurant was her own; otherwise, it would be even more troublesome, and if it were discovered, the restaurant would never be able to reopen.

Chen Ming became even more serious. "Okay, I know. I will make sure I don't detect any movement."

"Just remember that, but be careful."

"Ah."

After Du Mingxian finished instructing Chen Ming and told him to go about his business, Chen Ming asked her, "Sister, can I go back now and get some books to read?"

"OK."

"Then I'll go home to get the book, thank you, sister."

Chen Ming left happily, while Du Mingxian resignedly went into another room to disguise herself. Although this room would not be used for guests in the future and was only reserved for Chen Ming, who knew if she would be discovered by someone? That would be really troublesome.

Back in the private room, Du Mingxian began this meticulous task. At the same time, she also made a small cover: when there were people next door, this small cover could be quietly moved aside, and when no one was around, it could be put back without making any difference.
