This time, Wu Daniu had people keep an eye on Du Mingxian, and left two people who knew martial arts. The surrounding security was also strengthened, and the three children were brought in in the middle of the night.

Du Mingxian learned of the news the next morning, and she was utterly shocked.

In his previous life, Wu Daniu didn't have this many children, and judging from the ages of the three children... they definitely weren't born to the same woman.

Wu Daniu is quite capable and cunning in this life, just look at him.

I wonder if Sun Xiangxiang knows about this.

While Du Mingxian was thinking about this, Ling Silang, because of Du Mingxian's departure, didn't dare to go home directly, fearing that he wouldn't be able to explain to his family that Du Mingxian was not there, so he continued to live in the tenement.

However, he still went home halfway through to tell his family that Du Mingxian had something to do.

On the day of the imperial examination, Du Mingxian got up early. She only glanced at the child that Wu Daniu brought over and then ignored him. What concerned her more was Ling Silang's examination.

So no matter what, she wants to go out today.

The family's shop is in an excellent location. If Ling Silang makes it into the top three, he will pass by the restaurant when he rides through the streets on horseback.

As soon as they reached the courtyard gate, a strong and sturdy old woman blocked their way. "Madam, the master has instructed that you cannot leave."

“I’m just living here, I’m not a prisoner locked up here. Didn’t he say that he’s in charge of this house? Well, I’m the master of this house now. If I want to leave, do you, a servant, have the right to tell me what to do?”

This was a fallacy of equivocation, and the old woman couldn't say anything at the moment, putting her in a difficult position.

Du Mingxian immediately shouted sternly, "Get out of the way."

The old woman subconsciously took a step back, then remembered that she should listen to Wu Daniu, and hurriedly stopped Du Mingxian, "Madam, you really can't go out."

"I absolutely have to go out today." Du Mingxian pushed the old woman aside and walked out. The old woman could only stop her and didn't dare to lay a hand on Du Mingxian for fear of hurting her.

Du Mingxian walked forward, with the old woman chasing after her. Wu Sihua, who was out for a stroll, saw them and immediately went up to ask what was wrong.

Hearing that Du Mingxian wanted to go out, Wu Sihua became interested, "You wouldn't happen to be thinking of going out to see if your husband has passed the imperial examination?"

Du Mingxian didn't say anything, she just stared at Wu Sihua.

Wu Sihua felt a little uneasy under their gaze.

Du Mingxian then slowly spoke, "The results are out today. No matter who gets into high school, there will be a parade through the streets. The streets are probably bustling right now. You've never seen anything like this before, have you?"

Wu Sihua was immediately tempted. She wasn't interested in these things, but she was very interested in being able to go out and play. However, before, her second brother was strict and didn't allow them to go out freely while they were at home.

Although they have moved out, they still cannot go out freely. Even if they want to go out, they can only ask Du Mingxian. Since she doesn't like Du Mingxian, she won't ask her.

Now that Du Mingxian has brought it up herself, isn't this an opportunity?

Wu Sihua felt better and better as she thought about it, her eyes shining brightly. "Great! Great! I want to go out too. Let's go out together."

When the old woman saw that the young lady was also like this, she immediately became anxious. "Young lady, the master has instructed that the madam cannot go out."

"He told me not to go out alone, but now that I'm going out with his sister, what else is he worried about?"

These words were a reminder to Wu Sihua.

Wu Sihua immediately raised her head and said, "I am the young lady, I make the decisions. I will go out with her and I will definitely come back with her."

The old woman was in a dilemma.

Du Mingxian immediately said, "Alright, it's settled then, let's go."

The old woman dared not say a word and could only hurriedly turn around to look for someone.

Du Mingxian and Wu Sihua did not use the main gate, as there were guards stationed there by Wu Daniu. The two of them tacitly agreed to use the side gate instead.

There was a side gate that was rarely opened. The key to this side gate was in the hands of the old woman in charge, but Wu Daniu was afraid that the servants would bully their masters, so he also gave one to Wu Sihua.

The two then simply opened the door and left.

After leaving, Wu Sihua felt a little regretful and stood there dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.

Du Mingxian ignored her and walked straight ahead.

Wu Sihua hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, "Don't go, you can't leave. You have to come back with me later. If you don't come back with me, my brother will definitely not forgive me."

She still can't understand what her brother was trying to do, letting this woman live in the house and bringing her back several children.

Du Mingxian didn't push her hand away. "Just walk forward. The top three will be parading through the streets on horseback, so they definitely won't be taking this route. Let's go to the front. I've booked a window seat at a restaurant where we can see what's happening outside."

Wu Sihua's eyes sparkled, and she walked with a lighter step when following Du Mingxian, her face full of joy and curiosity.

Everything in the capital city seemed new and exciting to her. She had been out before, but each time she came out, she felt she couldn't get enough of it, and it was the same now.

Du Mingxian led Wu Sihua to the restaurant through a maze of twists and turns. She entered through the back door, and an old man opened the door. He was the one who kept watch over the back door of the restaurant. It turned out that the old man was dying and had been taken in by the kind-hearted Zhou Shi.

It was difficult to assign him any other work, so in the end he was assigned the job of guarding the back door and also relaying messages.

It's basically just about providing food; that's what restaurants have plenty of.

When the old man saw that it was Du Mingxian, he instinctively wanted to speak, but Du Mingxian gave him a look and said, "I'll go to my reserved private room first."

The old man understood the look in his eyes, didn't dare say anything, and simply made way.

Du Mingxian then led Wu Sihua inside.

After watching the person leave, the old man immediately ran to report the news.

Du Mingxian walked around to the second floor. Whenever a waiter saw Du Mingxian, he would subconsciously stop and bow. Wu Sihua did not understand these things. She thought that they were customers, which was why the waiters in the shop were so respectful.

Only after entering the private room did Wu Sihua have a chance to ask, "How do you have so much money? You were able to book such a nice restaurant."

This restaurant looks very wealthy, and several customers who had just passed by them were dressed in fine clothes and were all rich people.

This made her even more excited. If she could fall for a young master of excellent status and position, she wouldn't have to worry about the rest of her life.

"You'll have a chance if you come often," Du Mingxian replied, seemingly ignoring the question. After saying this, she opened the window facing the street and glanced out. The atmosphere on the street was lively, and everyone was waiting for news.

Wu Sihua was completely absorbed in her newfound happiness and didn't notice the deeper meaning in Du Mingxian's eyes.

Soon, someone brought tea and pastries. Xu Tingting was the one leading the way. They only found out that someone else had come along after the old man guarding the back door announced it.

Xu Tingting came to pave the way.

"Guest, is there anything else you need?"
