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

Xu Tingting wanted to call out again, but seeing that Du Mingxian was in a hurry and had something important to do, she didn't ask anything and went home.

Du Mingxian walked very fast, following him all the way to the west of the city, to the slums where all sorts of people mingled. The man turned and twisted his way into a small courtyard.

She quietly approached the courtyard and peered through the crack in the gate. She saw the woman who had just gone in talking happily to someone who was sitting sideways in a chair, basking in the sun.

As she was watching, the person in the chair turned their head, their eyes icy cold. Du Mingxian felt a chill run down her spine; she had been discovered.

In the courtyard, the man's voice was weak, "Miaomiao, you were followed when you came back."

"Huh? Is he outside? I'll go kill him." Guo Miaomiao said as she rushed outside. The man didn't move, but just kept staring at the commotion.

Du Mingxian took two steps back, watched as the door opened, and then saw a familiar face—it was Guo Miaomiao.

Guo Miaomiao finally saw her face clearly. She was first shocked, then incredulous, and then uncertain. "Little sister, is that you?"

"It's me." Du Mingxian smiled frankly. "I thought it looked like you from a distance, but I didn't dare to call out. I followed you all the way here, and I didn't expect it to really be you."

Guo Miaomiao was overjoyed. She looked around and, finding no one, pulled Du Mingxian into the courtyard. "Let's come in and talk."

Once inside the gate, Guo Miaomiao closed it and then carefully looked her up and down. "You have no idea, when I heard the news of your death, I almost cried my eyes out. Thank goodness you're still alive."

"Yes, he's still alive. I'm sorry to have worried you." Du Mingxian didn't know how to explain this to Guo Miaomiao for a moment.

Guo Miaomiao waved her hand, tears of excitement streaming down her face. "As long as you're alright, that's all that matters." After saying that, she remembered the man in the yard, pulled Du Mingxian into the yard, and introduced him to the man, "Su An, I've told you before, this is my best sister. If it weren't for my sister, I would have died long ago."

Du Mingxian was speechless. When they first agreed to become sisters, both of them wanted to be the older sister, but Guo Miaomiao insisted on being the older sister in a completely unreasonable way.

Guo Miaomiao isn't even as old as her.

"Yes, whatever my sister says is right."

As she spoke, she also sized up the man named Su An sitting in the chair. Although he was wearing ordinary cotton clothes, his demeanor was not that of an ordinary person.

Moreover, he is handsome, and although he is sitting, he certainly doesn't look short.

Su An was also sizing up Du Mingxian, the person Guo Miaomiao had mentioned countless times. If it weren't for this person and her man, Miaomiao would be dead.

Hello, Su'an.

"Hello, Du Mingxian."

Guo Miaomiao wiped away her tears. "Mingxian, you must stay today. I'll cook for you, so you can taste my cooking."

"Okay, do you need my help?"

"No need, no need, you can just sit here, I'll do it. I can cook now."

"Then I'll wait to eat."

As Guo Miaomiao spoke, she went to the side to bring out a chair for Du Mingxian, and then brought out pastries and tea before going to the side to pick vegetables.

Neither of them asked about each other's recent situation. Guo Miaomiao said, "Although I can cook some meals now, my cooking skills are just average. You can't complain about it. It can't compare to your cooking skills."

"Don't worry, I definitely won't mind," Du Mingxian said with a laugh.

"Okay, I don't mind if you finish eating soon."

"it is good."

As the two were talking, Du Mingxian didn't go forward to help. She watched Guo Miaomiao work while talking. Su An sat there motionless with his eyes closed, and it was unclear whether he was asleep or resting.

When Guo Miaomiao was ready and went to the small kitchen to cook, Du Mingxian didn't follow her in. She just sat quietly in the yard.

Guo Miaomiao quickly finished cooking, and Du Mingxian went to help set up a table. The three of them ate in the courtyard.

Guo Miaomiao can cook, but her culinary skills are just average, but Du Mingxian doesn't mind.

The two women chatted casually at the dinner table, neither asking about the other's recent situation. Only Su An ate quietly. After the meal, Guo Miaomiao didn't even wash the dishes before rushing to brew the medicine. She only washed the dishes after the medicine was brewing.

Du Mingxian noticed that Guo Miaomiao was very busy, but she felt that Guo Miaomiao was very happy.

After Guo Miaomiao finished washing the dishes, she brewed the medicine for a while. Once the medicine was ready, Guo Miaomiao brought it to Su An and said, "Drink it quickly."

"Thank you." This was the second time Su An had spoken since Du Mingxian entered the courtyard.

Guo Miaomiao helped Su An take her medicine and said, "Let me help you inside to lie down. The sun has already set, and it will be a bit chilly in the yard if you stay any longer."

"it is good."

Guo Miaomiao helped Su An stand up. Du Mingxian saw that he was really tall. Guo Miaomiao was not short for a woman, she must be 1.7 meters tall, but she still looked short in front of this man.

Du Mingxian waited quietly in the courtyard for a while before Guo Miaomiao came out and gave Du Mingxian an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting so long."

"Go ahead and do what you need to do. I'll just sit here for a while."

"Let's talk when we're done."

"Okay."

Guo Miaomiao gave an awkward smile, "Our courtyard is small, and talking will disturb his rest. Let's go outside, and I'll treat you to tea."

"Let's go for a stroll."

Before the two went out, Guo Miaomiao took a hat to cover herself.

When Du Mingxian first saw Guo Miaomiao, she was dressed like this. If it weren't for the similar figure, she wouldn't have been able to tell that it was Guo Miaomiao at all.

After leaving the house, Guo Miaomiao locked the door from the outside, then took Du Mingxian's arm and walked forward, saying, "Let's go, I'll treat you to tea."

"No need, let's just take a stroll. It's been a while since we went shopping."

“I…I might not be able to go very far. Su’an needs someone to take care of her.”

“Then let’s not go too far. Tell me, how are you doing? Who are you taking care of?” Du Mingxian asked the question she had been wanting to ask all along. Su An was clearly no ordinary person.

Guo Miaomiao didn't hide anything from Du Mingxian, "I left you guys to find my father. He really didn't die. I found him in the Tharpo."

Guo Miaomiao had mentioned this to Du Mingxian before, and Du Mingxian knew it and wasn't surprised at all.

"It's good that you found it; it fulfills one of your wishes."

Guo Miaomiao gently shook her head, "No, that's not how it is."

Du Mingxian sensed that Guo Miaomiao had a lot to say, so after thinking for a moment, she said, "Shall we find a teahouse and get a private room to chat for a while?"

"it is good."

The two went to a small teahouse nearby. There were only two private rooms, and Du Mingxian asked for one. It was quiet with few people.

Guo Miaomiao only took off her apron after the owner served tea and left.

Are you afraid someone will recognize you?

"Yes, we are fleeing now," Guo Miaomiao said, but her voice was very low.
