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

Du Mingxian met Xu Tingting's gaze, "That's all."

Wu Sihua was a little anxious, and kept giving Du Mingxian meaningful glances, but Du Mingxian acted as if she didn't see them.

Xu Tingting immediately replied respectfully, "Yes, then please let us know if you need anything. We won't bother you any longer."

Xu Tingting led her people away, and Wu Sihua hurriedly said, "This restaurant looks nice, but why did they only serve some pastries and no dishes?"

"I didn't order it."

"Why not order some? We're already here, of course we should eat something."

As she walked down the hallway, the aroma of food filled the air, making her incredibly hungry.

Du Mingxian said with dissatisfaction, "You have high standards. We came here to watch the scholar's parade and then go back. Do you still want to eat?"

"What's wrong with eating a little? We're already here." The more Wu Sihua talked, the hungrier she felt.

There were so many delicious foods in the capital that she wanted to eat to her heart's content, but her maidservant kept reminding her to be mindful of her manners, as eating too much would make her fat and unattractive, so she wasn't very happy.

Now that she was alone with Du Mingxian and no maids, it wouldn't matter if she ate too much. The food smelled so good, and it was just one meal.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt she absolutely had to eat something today. She made up her mind and said, "I don't care, you have to order food. If you don't, I'll talk bad about you to my older brother every day from now on."

"Just because I ordered food for you, you think you can speak well of me in front of your older brother? Besides, I don't care what your older brother thinks."

Wu Sihua immediately said, "Didn't you want to leave my older brother? I can help you, I can help you."

"Just one meal?"

"Just one meal."

Du Mingxian looked at her with disbelief. Wu Sihua hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Fine, I'll tell you a secret. If I can't keep it, you can tell this secret to someone else."

Du Mingxian still looked completely disbelieving.

Wu Sihua waved to her and then whispered in her ear. Du Mingxian's eyes grew darker and darker, and finally she nodded, "Okay, you said it."

"of course."

Du Mingxian nodded in satisfaction, "You sit down first, I'll go find someone to add a few more signature dishes."

How do I know if it's a signature dish?

"You can ask him properly when the waiter serves the food."

"Row."

Wu Sihua was satisfied. She watched Du Mingxian leave, her mind and eyes filled with the delicious food. She completely forgot that she couldn't let Du Mingxian leave alone, and she also forgot how she would explain to Wu Daniu if the other party escaped.

As Du Mingxian came out, Xu Tingting quickly approached from the end of the corridor. Neither of them spoke, and they walked silently toward the backyard.

Once they arrived at their own courtyard, Xu Tingting finally spoke, asking, "What happened? Did you run into trouble? Didn't you say you'd go home after the exam? Why didn't you go back? Although your family didn't ask in detail, everyone is very worried."

"It's nothing serious, but I have some things to finish up recently. I'm safe and sound."

"That's good. Nothing is more important than your safety," Xu Tingting said.

Du Mingxian nodded, "Send a few of our signature dishes to that private room later."

Who is that person up there?

"Wu Daniu's sister."

Xu Tingting reacted instantly, and was also shocked, "His sister, what... what's going on? How come his sister is with you?"

"It's a long story."

Xu Tingting originally wanted to say, "Let's keep it short," but considering that she had no right to ask, she remained silent.

"I came here to make sure I'm safe. Please have Chunfeng pass on a message to my husband later."

"it is good."

Du Mingxian handed a piece of paper to Xu Tingting, "This paper should also be passed to him."

Xu Tingting didn't open it to look at it, and immediately put it away. "Okay, I will definitely send it over as soon as possible."

"I'll go up first."

"Yes, my second sister-in-law wanted to go up just now, but I was afraid that person knew her, so I didn't dare let her go up."

"It's better not to go up."

Even if Xu Tingting opened the note Du Mingxian gave her, she wouldn't recognize it; only Ling Silang could understand it.

Du Mingxian walked all the way to the door of the private room. Before she even went in, she saw the door of the next private room open and two women walked out, followed by a young man in red.

"Alright, go back now, I'm busy."

The two women immediately beamed with joy, "Sir, please call us again next time."

"Okay, go ahead."

After the woman left, Du Mingxian glanced around and saw that the man next door was the heir of the Yongning Marquis's mansion.

He's bisexual, and... he's got a lot of lives on his hands, and he's quite the womanizer. In his previous life, the heir of the Marquis of Yongning had his eye on Wu Xiaohua.

She later spent a lot of effort to get rid of this person, but in the end, no one in the Wu family remembered her kindness. They even said that she was jealous of Wu Xiaohua's good marriage.

Thinking of this, she shook her head.

Enough of the past life. This life is a new beginning, and I can't let trivial matters hold me back.

She pushed open the door and went in. Wu Sihua was very happy. "You're finally back?"

"Are they afraid I'll run away?"

"No, no, I'm just worried about not having enough to eat."

"You really want to eat?"

Wu Sihua was happy to be out today, and she was looking forward to the delicious food that was coming up. She was also more relaxed when talking to Du Mingxian. Things that she couldn't say in the past didn't seem so difficult to say now.

"I want to eat. I haven't had a proper meal since I came to Beijing."

Du Mingxian was shocked. "You haven't eaten anything? You...you haven't eaten?"

"have eaten."

"Your elder brother has money and servants now, surely he won't let you go hungry?"

"It's not that I'm hungry, it's just that I haven't eaten enough. My maids always remind me that if I eat too much, I'll get fat, and if I get fat, no one will like me. If no one likes me, how will I ever get married?"

Wu Sihua sighed deeply, "After coming to the capital, I finally wanted to find a good husband. Without a good husband, how can I live in this world?"

Du Mingxian understood. The noble ladies did indeed eat very little in order to maintain their figures. It was rare to find someone who could eat a lot and not gain weight.

"It's tough on you. When you were little, you didn't eat because there was nothing to eat. Now, you can't eat certain foods, which is also a kind of torture."

Wu Sihua felt she had found a kindred spirit. "You know, every stage of life has its own troubles. If I told people I was hungry, no one would believe me."
