"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I be fooled by someone? Someone as capable as me would be lucky if I didn't lie to others. Don't spout nonsense." Granny Wang's expression was very unnatural, and she quickly changed Du Mingxian's dressing.

However, she didn't just do a perfunctory job; she replaced it quite well, after all, she had been paid.

With her bedridden aunt dead, her job of serving others came to an end, and she had to go back to doing odd jobs.

Du Mingxian just stared at her, and Granny Wang glared at her, "What are you looking at? You don't have a gambling father, a sick mother, or a young brother."

"Although, my father still sold me early on, but he let me enjoy life. I got out early and stopped struggling in that quagmire. Now I'm doing pretty well."

Du Mingxian could tell that Granny Wang cared deeply about her family of origin selling her; it was a lifelong wound for her.

"I want to drink water." Her voice was still hoarse this time, but she was able to finish her sentence.

Granny Wang scolded, "Drink, drink, drink! Can't you wait until I finish applying this medicine before you drink? I haven't finished changing the medicine yet. Should I change your medicine first, or should I pour you some water first? You're lying here waiting for someone to serve you. Why are you making such a fuss?"

"Drink it after you've applied the medicine." She didn't want to listen to Granny Wang's nagging.

Wang Pozi never stopped talking; Du Mingxian could tell from her tone that she was a chatterbox.

After finishing her rambling, Granny Wang changed Du Mingxian's dressing and brought her some water. While feeding her water, she suddenly thought of the food issue and asked, "Do you want something to eat?"

"think."

"Alright, you stay here, I'll go check the kitchen." Granny Wang patted her bottom and left without even asking Du Mingxian what she wanted to eat.

Du Mingxian waited and waited, almost two hours, before Granny Wang finally returned, carrying a food box containing a bowl of white porridge.

"Alright, I'll feed you."

Granny Wang helped Du Mingxian sit up before feeding her.

The porridge was still a bit hot. As soon as it touched her mouth, Du Mingxian felt the heat on her tongue and hurriedly moved away, saying, "It's too hot. Let it cool down a bit before eating."

"You're such a fussman. Porridge has to be piping hot; it tastes best when it's piping hot."

Du Mingxian remained silent, staring at her calmly.

Finally, Wang Pozi felt embarrassed by his actions, and he reluctantly put the porridge aside while grumbling.

This time, they made sure it was really cold before giving it to Du Mingxian, and she drank it sip by sip, almost as if they were rushing her to be reincarnated.

After eating the porridge, Du Mingxian felt the urge to urinate.

Granny Wang put the bowl aside and started slowly cracking open some melon seeds she had somehow gotten her hands on.

I need to pee.

Granny Wang suddenly lost her appetite for the melon seeds in her mouth. She angrily threw the seeds on the table, her face changing color. "Why can't you just lie down and relax all day? Why do you have so many problems?"

Du Mingxian remained silent, letting her rant.

Granny Wang had her fill of words, so in the end she brought out the chamber pot, put it on a chair, and directly pulled down Du Mingxian's... pants on the bed, then carried her to the chair.

Du Mingxian was too weak, so Granny Wang supported her while muttering curses under her breath.

"You say your body isn't good, but you can't always have someone else take care of your excrement and urination."

Du Mingxian thought for a moment and then sobbed softly, "Yes, I deserve to die. If I were dead, you wouldn't have to go through all this trouble."

Granny Wang was dumbfounded. Her mind raced instantly. If this woman died, where would she get any benefits? Where would she get such a good job?

"Alright, alright, I only said a few words to you and you want to die? Don't you feel sorry for Mr. Niu? He has done so much for you, and you just want to die like that?"

Du Mingxian didn't respond to that; she couldn't say it yet, so she could only comply.

Mr. Niu?

It's more like the cow wants to die.

Giving her muscle-relaxing powder is really awful.

Wang Pozi scolded immediately, but she also served Du Mingxian meticulously, putting her back on the bed, dressing her, cleaning the chamber pot, and even opening the window to air out the smell.

While Granny Wang was working, Du Mingxian managed to turn her head and see that there was only a wall outside the window... which showed that the courtyard was very small.

After doing all this, Granny Wang sat down again and sighed deeply. "Let me tell you, when you were unconscious, Mr. Niu was very worried. You're lucky to have met such a good person as Mr. Niu."

Du Mingxian did not respond.

"Although Mr. Niu is currently with Madam, it's only for the sake of making a living. Madam is very generous; she gives a lot to every man who follows her."

“Your Mr. Niu will definitely get quite a bit too.”

“Once Madam has had her fill of fun and no longer likes Mr. Niu, he will take you back to his hometown. You won’t have to worry about the rest of your lives. Such a good thing is hard to find even with a lantern.”

The more Granny Wang talked, the more beautiful she became. Everyone started to envy Du Mingxian, wondering how she could meet such a good man and why she wasn't so lucky.

Taking the opportunity, Du Mingxian asked, "Who is your wife?"

"The owner of this house."

"Is she really that good? Is she that capable? How does she have so much money? Does her family spoil her? Do her parents agree to her keeping a lover outside the marriage?"

The questions Du Mingxian asked seemed very simple, the kinds of questions that everyone would have, but they also revealed her probing and inquiries.

Wang Pozi didn't understand and immediately began to boast, "Of course our lady is good and very capable. She is more capable than many men. She is very good at business, and her business is very large."

“I knew it. There are dozens of managers who come to hand over the accounts every month. Just think how many people there are under him, so many managers.”

“Our lady’s family has no money, and everyone still relies on her. So our lady lives a very carefree life and does whatever she wants. Our lady also has a very good background; she is the daughter of an earl.”

"Do you know what the Earl's Mansion is? They are the noble families of the capital."

“Our family relies on our young lady, so they naturally won’t care what we do.”

Du Mingxian's heart skipped a beat. Could it be something she was thinking? "Your young lady has never been married?"

"Let's talk about the past. This lady is now married. She took in a son-in-law who is a good man. He is a military officer in the capital, working in the Five Cities Garrison. He is an official, no less."

"And they were especially kind to our young lady."

Some answers are obvious.

Du Mingxian became somewhat agitated, "Does the man you married into the family not like your wife? What man would like his woman to cheat on him?"

"Tch, what do you know?" Granny Wang gave Du Mingxian a disdainful look. "He's married into the family. Now that he's married into the family, how can he have any say in this household?"

"Besides, he was married before. His previous wife was demoted to a concubine and lived in his mansion for a while."

"Later, that concubine learned her lesson and left on her own, saving us the trouble of kicking her out."

Many things were aligning, and Du Mingxian felt not only complicated but also somewhat amused.

From the moment she was reborn, many things were inextricably linked to Du Mingwei and Wu Daniu. And then... she got injured and was brought to Wu Daniu's family home by a twist of fate.

It's so ridiculous.
