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

In the end, Du Mingxian quietly left.

No one expected that Du Mingxian's worries would come true.

Once Du Mingxian left the town, she immediately led out a horse from her spatial storage. She was wearing night vision goggles, so she ran fast. She set off early in the evening, and by the time she arrived at the post station, everyone there was already asleep.

She quietly climbed over the wall and saw a young waiter going to the toilet. She stopped him, asked for the innkeeper's room number, knocked him unconscious, and went to the innkeeper's room.

The post station manager turned out to be quite skilled; upon hearing the commotion, he drew his sword.

Du Mingxian got entangled with the other party, and neither of them came out on good terms. In the end, Du Mingxian seized the opportunity, took the knife from him, and put it to his neck before the other party finally stopped.

But the tone of his question was chilling: "Who are you?"

"A messenger." Du Mingxian didn't take out the letter, but instead asked, "Are you the postmaster of this post station?"

"Yes."

"That's you." Du Mingxian handed him the letter. "Alright, the things have been delivered. I'm leaving."

When the postmaster saw that there were no words on the envelope, his heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly opened the letter and saw the coded message on it, and he immediately panicked.

Du Mingxian had already left the post station on horseback and was about to leave when the postmaster chased after her, saying, "Please wait."

"Is there anything else?" Du Mingxian looked down at him from her horse.

"Can I come with you? I need to see the person who wrote the letter."

Du Mingxian was quite surprised. "Before I left, that person didn't tell me to take someone back with me."

But...maybe he forgot?

"Alright, do you have a horse here? Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to get back."

Upon hearing this, the postmaster quickly went to make preparations, and soon brought out a horse, mounting it with great agility.

They came on one horse and left on two, but they were not slow at all.

Du Mingxian's horse was a fine horse raised in the space, and the horses at the post station naturally included excellent steeds that could travel a thousand miles a day, so the two were evenly matched.

When they arrived in town, it was still dark. Du Mingxian didn't even have a chance to put her horse into her spatial storage. In order not to disturb others, she dismounted early and walked into the town.

The postmaster couldn't understand it at all. Some time ago, news spread that his master had passed away, so why was his master writing a letter with coded messages that only they could understand?

He absolutely had to find out what was going on.

When Du Mingxian arrived outside the inn, she found that the inn was brightly lit and she could faintly hear sounds coming from inside. She was quite surprised. Didn't this inn rest at night?

Then she heard the emperor's angry rebuke, "Insolence!"

The voice was authoritative, and Du Mingxian had never heard it before, but that didn't diminish her desire to submit upon hearing it.

The postmaster was even more direct; his knees buckled and he immediately knelt down.

……

The story begins when Du Mingxian and her companion entered the store.

Because she was tired, Du Mingxian found a guesthouse that looked quite nice and was clean inside. The waiter was very welcoming, and apart from the expensive room rate, there was nothing wrong with it.

Neither of them noticed.

The Emperor was unaware of such matters outside, while Du Mingxian was only curious about why the Emperor had come out. Without paying close attention, the two of them settled down.

After Du Mingxian left that night, the Emperor had something on his mind and didn't sleep. Then... a waiter knocked on the door.

"Sir, it's so late, would you like some more tea?"

"want."

And so, a waiter brought a pot of tea. The emperor poured it out and took a sip, but then he felt something was wrong. Just as he was about to call for help, everything went black and he fainted.

When he woke up again, the previously enthusiastic shopkeeper and waiter had changed their attitude, and he was found tied to a stool.

Before Du Mingxian left, she kept saying she was worried he wouldn't be able to manage alone. He figured that nothing would happen, and since no one knew his identity, he would be fine.

Who would have thought... that something really bad would happen.

"What do you want?" Faced with bad guys, all he can do now is to be pragmatic.

The waiter stepped forward and gently patted the Emperor's face. "Tell me, where is the woman who came with you? What is your relationship with her?"

“My daughter, she went out, she’ll be back in a bit.”

"Nonsense, I clearly heard her call you 'Master'."

The emperor remained silent.

The waiter got angry when he saw that the emperor didn't speak, so he kicked the emperor twice and warned him fiercely, "You'd better tell the truth, don't try to play any tricks."

“She likes to play, and she calls me ‘Master’ even when we’re out. She really is my daughter.”

"Fine, your daughter, where's the money you were carrying? There's nothing in your room, and your daughter's room is spotless, like it's never been lived in. Where's the money?"

The Emperor didn't have a single copper coin on him. When he went out with Du Mingxian, Du Mingxian paid for everything.

“The money is with my daughter. We have money. Release me first, and I will give you as much money as you want when my daughter comes back.”

The waiter hesitated and turned to look at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper stepped forward and slapped the emperor twice across the face.

From childhood to adulthood, who has ever dared to hit him?

The emperor experienced being slapped for the first time; his face went numb and his ears were ringing.

"You're talking nonsense. I think you're just an old thing that your family doesn't want anymore. Your daughter left you here and then ran away. She's definitely not coming back. And you're still trying to deny it."

When a scholar encounters a soldier, reason is useless; how much more so when the other party is a ruthless bandit or robber.

The emperor simply remained silent.

But how could the shopkeeper and the waiter be willing? The more they looked at the emperor, the more they disliked him, though the emperor was at least somewhat handsome.

The waiter suggested, "Master, I think he has a nice face. Why not sell him to the Nanfeng Pavilion? There are plenty of people with special fetishes there, and surely someone will like his face."

The shopkeeper was quite disdainful. "How much can a man sell for? If his daughter were still alive, that pretty young woman could definitely fetch a lot of money if sold to a brothel."

“Master, we can do this: first, we’ll send the man to the Nanfeng Pavilion, sell him, get the money, and then we’ll come back and wait. I’ll wait for you to go to sleep, and when that young woman comes back, I’ll tell her that the old man is sick and that you kindly took him to the clinic.”

"That way I can tip you off, and if we go up together, we'll definitely be able to take her down, and then sell her to the brothel, wouldn't that be even better?"

The shopkeeper was very tempted by the waiter's suggestion. "Good, good, that's a good idea. I agree, I agree, haha."

The more the Emperor listened to the two men's actions, the more flustered he became. Just as the waiter stepped forward to grab him and take him to the Nanfeng Pavilion, he became furious and shouted, "How dare you!"

Du Mingxian returned at this time. Hearing the noise, she knew something was wrong. Without saying a word, she kicked the door open and saw... the Emperor was tied up, and the other two were looking at her like she was prey.

"You're looking for me?"

"Little wench, your father is in our hands. Behave yourself, or I'll take his life." The shopkeeper stepped forward and held a knife to the emperor's neck.

Xiao Er also took a rope from the side, preparing to tie Du Mingxian up directly.

Du Mingxian waited for the waiter to approach, but didn't say anything and obediently let the waiter tie her up.

The two of them laughed very smugly.

The postmaster was so frightened that he knelt down, but when he saw Du Mingxian being tied up after going in, he couldn't hold back any longer and rushed in, shouting, "Let them go!"
