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

Du Mingxian was quite worried about Xia Yu's departure. No one knew she had disappeared, and she was afraid something might have happened. But now she doesn't need to worry at all and can just watch what Wu Daniu wants to do.

After Xia Yu left, she went to the Crown Prince's residence and told him about Du Mingxian's story, including the matter between Wu Daniu and Du Mingxian, which piqued the Crown Prince's interest.

After sending people to investigate, the Crown Prince actually found some interesting things.

However, the Crown Prince was too preoccupied with important national affairs to bother with such a trivial matter as Wu Daniu. He simply told Xia Yu the news and asked her to pass it on to Du Mingxian.

Xia Yu arrived at Du Mingxian's courtyard at night, and because Wu Daniu had added four more maids, she was being extra careful.

Fortunately, Du Mingxian did not have her maid keep watch at night. As soon as Xia Yu stood in front of the window, Du Mingxian on the bed opened her eyes and followed Xia Yu in. Du Mingxian was on high alert.

“Madam,” she called softly.

Du Mingxian relaxed, got out of bed, and was glad she hadn't gone into the space to sleep. "Why did I come at this time?"

"His Highness has found some information and asked me to send it to Madam."

"what happened?"

“Wu Dani separated his two younger sisters’ household registration from the Wu family’s and changed their surname to Hua on the household registration.”

"Surname Hua?" Wu Daniu's biological mother's surname was Hua. Why would she change the surname of his two younger sisters? What is she trying to do?

It seems that Wu Daniu is still looking for someone these past two days, trying to send his underling out.

Where should I send it?

“It’s from another place, and it was sent to someone else’s home to be fostered. It will have no connection with Wu Daniu after that.”

Du Mingxian's alarm bells rang loudly, "Have you found out if Wu Daniu has any mistresses outside the marriage, or if they've had any children with him?"

"I didn't notice that."

"Go investigate, you must find out the truth about Wu Daniu's mistress, whether she is raising the child with him or sending it away. Investigate thoroughly, there is still a possibility that the child was switched."

"Yes." Xia Yu also sensed something was amiss. "Has Madam noticed anything wrong?"

"I can't say for sure right now, but you can pass on a message to the Crown Prince and ask him to send someone to keep an eye on Wu Daniu. Maybe he can find out something important."

"Yes."

Du Mingxian didn't have any other instructions. "Alright, you can go now. The exams are almost over, and I'll try to go back."

"Yes."

Xia Yu sent the message back, and Du Mingxian kept thinking about why Wu Daniu did this. Sending away his younger siblings was obviously to protect them.

Wu Daniu must have done something that would get him beheaded. This is to ensure the continuation of the Wu family line. Otherwise, given Wu Daniu's current somewhat powerful life in the capital, how could he bear to send his younger sister and brother away?

The two younger sisters stayed in the capital, changed their names and surnames. It would be best if they could stay. Wu San Niu was also a key figure. Wu San Niu was sent far away. If nothing happened, he could be brought back later. If something happened, he would leave behind a bloodline.

After figuring this out, she went to sleep.

She lived here without disturbing Wu Sihua and Wu Xiaohua, keeping to herself and living her own life behind closed doors.

However, the new maid Wu Daniu sent over was not a well-behaved one.

"Madam, aren't you going to see Miss? Master put you here to take care of her." The head maid, Biyu, spoke with a hint of arrogance, her eyes showing disdain for Du Mingxian.

Du Mingxian looked up at her and said, "If you're in such a hurry, then go and see them."

Biyu immediately beamed with joy, "Yes, Your Majesty's command." Then she left.

Du Mingxian was speechless. This Biyu must have something wrong with her head. She didn't know where Wu Daniu found such a stupid person.

Biyu returned shortly after leaving with a dark expression. She stood to the side without saying a word, as if waiting for Du Mingxian to ask her questions. Du Mingxian didn't even glance at her and sat at the table in a daze.

After a while, Biyu couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Madam, the two young ladies are really..."

Du Mingxian didn't look up, interrupting her, "A young lady is a young lady, and a servant is a servant. There is a difference in rank. You, a servant, are gossiping about the young lady behind her back. Do you think Wu Daniu would keep you if he knew you were saying these things?"

Biyu's face turned deathly pale instantly. The words she was about to say, the resentment and frustration in her heart vanished in an instant, and her imposing manner also diminished considerably.

Seeing that Du Mingxian had stopped talking, Biyu, though somewhat restrained, still couldn't swallow her anger. She stepped forward and whispered, "Madam, you are, after all, their elder. How can you really swallow this insult?"

"I don't care, so why are you complaining here? Servants only need to do their job."

Biyu already disliked Du Mingxian, and now that she heard Du Mingxian mentioning the duties of a servant, she was even more furious. However, she was still a servant, and this woman was someone her master had specifically asked her to take care of, so she couldn't say anything more.

But the resentment in my heart began to fester at this moment.

This little incident passed just like that. On the day the candidates left the examination hall, Du Mingxian didn't go out. She dismissed the servants early that night, turned off the lights, and quietly left.

Back in the courtyard, it was quite lively. Liu Ya had called a doctor because Jiang Liting's health was really bad; he had to be carried out of the examination hall after finishing the exam.

It was also thanks to Du Mingxian's early reminder that she was willing to spend money to hire a doctor.

Jiang Liting was in poor health, so it was impossible to find a doctor. Liu Ya went out to find another one, but doctors were in short supply throughout the city and it was impossible to find one.

Liu Ya was extremely anxious in the courtyard. The doctor was also trying to find a way to save Jiang Liting, and Ling Silang was also in this room.

When Liu Ya saw Du Mingxian return, she was only slightly surprised, and immediately said, "You're back. Your husband is in our room, and my brother Jiang..." She didn't finish her sentence before tears streamed down her face.

Du Mingxian could tell at a glance that the situation was not good. "Don't worry, there are doctors, it will definitely be cured."

"Hopefully."

Du Mingxian stepped into the room. Ling Silang, who was already inside, saw her enter. A hint of urgency flashed in his eyes. He hurriedly stepped forward and, disregarding the occasion, grabbed her hand, his eyes filled with concern. "Are you alright?"

"He's alright. How is Young Master Jiang?"

"You should be fine after taking the medicine, but you need to rest."

"Ah."

Ling Silang didn't want to stay any longer. "Let's go back to our room."

"it is good."

The two returned to the room together. As soon as the door closed, Ling Silang immediately turned around and hugged her tightly. He said, "I'm so glad you're alright. When I came out of the examination hall and heard what Xia Yu said, I was scared out of my wits."

"You should know what I'm capable of, there's nothing to worry about."

Ling Silang released her and was about to pull her towards the table when Du Mingxian led her into the space.

That room hadn't been occupied for several days, so it was still a bit cold; it wasn't as comfortable as the main room.
