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

Du Mingxian looked at the paper again and again. After Ling Silang returned it, she handed the paper to him and said, "Take a look at this. I have a feeling it's related to the workshop?"

After Ling Silang took the paper and read it, he said, "I have the same feeling. On the day of the imperial examination, when we enter the examination hall, there will be many people outside. In such a crowded situation, it is normal for a few people to disappear."

"If they really make their move at this time, the Crown Prince will ultimately bear the blame. He is in charge of this imperial examination, which is also the most important thing for him after he ascends the throne following this incident."

Ling Silang felt helpless. "Based on the information we heard from Wu Daniu, we can't be sure it's about this. Maybe we're just being paranoid, but we have to be prepared. But... how should we tell the Crown Prince about this?"

"Yes, tell the Crown Prince that if those people need to be protected, then the Crown Prince will naturally have to mobilize the troops, which will cause trouble."

Du Mingxian was also anxious, but she didn't have a good solution at the moment. "Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, we should remind the Crown Prince."

"Yes."

"I'll go find him."

Ling Silang was a little worried, but Du Mingxian guessed what was going on from his expression. "Don't worry, I'll go and remind the Crown Prince, but I think he should be able to figure it out."

"This is the most difficult part. We can think of it, but we're afraid the Crown Prince might not have considered it. If something really goes wrong, it will be troublesome."

"I should still go and remind them."

"Ah."

That evening, Du Mingxian secretly went to the Crown Prince's residence.

When the Crown Prince arrived at his residence, Du Mingxian had already finished washing up and was preparing to rest. However, upon hearing that Du Mingxian had arrived, he got up again to dress and greet her.

The Crown Prince was still very gentle when he met Du Mingxian this time, and even had the inclination to joke.

"You refused to see me after the last time, so why are you willing to come today?"

"It's not that I'm having nightmares all the time. The workshop issue has never been completely resolved, and I'm always anxious about it."

"This matter involves the candidates' families, so it's best not to make a big fuss about it."

Du Mingxian nodded slightly. "Your Highness, I've been thinking about something lately. Could it be that these people have gathered us, the families of the examinees, together in an attempt to cause trouble during the exam?"

"We anticipated this possibility, but we are short-staffed, and it is difficult to arrange for someone to protect each candidate's family member."

"We can only try our best to do it, but on the day of the exam, there will be many people outside when the candidates enter the exam room, and we are afraid that they will make a move at that time."

Fearing that her words might cause the Crown Prince to misunderstand, Du Mingxian quickly explained, "Your Highness is in charge of the imperial examinations this time. If something happens at this time, I'm afraid someone will try to implicate Your Highness."

"As long as the candidates enter the examination hall and their families leave safely, even if any problems arise with the candidates' families, it will be the responsibility of the Prefect of the Capital. They will be the ones to take responsibility if anything goes wrong."

How could the Crown Prince not understand Du Mingxian's meaning? "Yes, I understand your idea. I will arrange the manpower accordingly."

"Yes, with Your Highness's words, I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight."

The Crown Prince didn't respond to that, but stared at Du Mingxian and said, "Have you not visited the Wen family recently? Minister Wen is ill."

Du Mingxian's heart leaped into her throat. "Is it serious?"

"The imperial physician examined him and found that his worry and anxiety were harming his health."

"I...I've been busy preparing things for my husband to take the exam, so I've only been home once."

It wasn't that I deliberately avoided going to the Wen family; it was just that I hadn't expected it and was afraid someone was watching me, so I didn't dare to make a move.

The Crown Prince sighed, “The grudges of the previous generation are now settled. Old Master Wen was indeed a bit confused back then, but he did collect the bodies of your mother’s family. He always kept those things in mind while Old Master Wen was alive.”

"I can't forgive my mother for this, but I will go and see Lord Wen, who is my godfather."

The Crown Prince was pleased. "Good, it's good that you have the intention."

"It's getting late, I'll take my leave now."

The crown prince waved his hand, "Let's go, why are you still so reserved in front of me?"

Du Mingxian left quickly, and returned home in a daze.

When Ling Silang saw her return, he was covered in cold air. He quickly poured the boiled water into the basin and soaked a damp cloth in it. "Quickly wipe yourself off."

"Ah."

"What's wrong? Didn't the Crown Prince listen? We've already reminded him. There are many capable people in the Crown Prince's residence. If they don't want to listen, there's nothing we can do. Don't overthink it."

Du Mingxian snapped out of her daze and realized that Ling Silang had misunderstood, so she quickly explained, "No, it's not about the Crown Prince's residence. The Crown Prince listened to the advice and his attitude was quite good. It's just that Lord Wen is ill, and I was thinking about this matter."

"Are you sick? Is it serious?"

"Worries and anxieties".

Ling Silang didn't know what to say. This kind of mental illness is something that the patient needs to figure out for themselves.

Du Mingxian sighed, "I've told my mother about the Cheng family's affairs. I can't control her thoughts, but I can't disobey Lord Wen."

"Then go and see. Mother will understand and support you."

Du Mingxian nodded slightly, "I'll go there quietly tomorrow."

"Okay, go to sleep early."

The two of them haven't been fooling around lately, saving their energy so that Ling Silang can focus on his exams.

Du Mingxian got up very early the next day, made some food in her space, had breakfast with Ling Silang, and then slowly went out.

As soon as she stepped out, she realized she was being followed. She made her way through a maze of streets to a crowded area, shaking off her pursuers. Then she found a secluded spot and entered her spatial dimension. After half an hour, finding no one around, she emerged and headed towards the Wen residence.

She entered the Wen residence through a side gate.

The side gate was guarded by an old woman, an elder of the Wen family. Upon seeing the impatience on Du Mingxian's face, she immediately turned ingratiating, "Young Miss."

Du Mingxian nodded slightly, entered the mansion, and went directly to the courtyard where Lord Wen lived.

When Butler Wen heard the news, he rushed over to greet Du Mingxian, "Miss is finally back. Master hasn't had a good appetite these days, and this old servant really doesn't know how to serve him."

"Hmm." Du Mingxian waved the food box in her hand. "I brought some food with me. I'll coax Father to eat some in a bit."

Hearing Du Mingxian still call Lord Wen "father," the steward, who knew the inside story, was deeply moved. "Oh, good, good. Miss, is it a little cold from carrying it all the way here? Should this old servant have someone heat it up?"

"No need, I'm not cold. You go ahead and do your work. I'll go see my father myself."

"This old servant will see you to the door."

Butler Wen accompanied Du Mingxian to the bedroom door, knocked gently, and then opened the door. "Miss, please come in. This old servant will give the order to not let anyone disturb you."

"it is good."

As Du Mingxian entered, the empty food box in her hand was replaced with one that had been prepared in her spatial storage by the time Butler Wen closed the door. The food would be hot when Master Wen ate it.
