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

"I'll feed you." Granny Wang held the bowl of noodles and fed Du Mingxian little by little.

After Du Mingxian finished eating, she praised Wang Pozi several times, making Wang Pozi very happy. She was even less impatient when serving her to go to the toilet before going to bed that night.

Sugar-coated bullets can indeed corrupt a person's heart.

After Granny Wang fell asleep that night, Du Mingxian still tried to move... but she was still weak and powerless and unable to move. She was a little anxious, knowing that this couldn't go on.

She's been missing for so many days, the capital must have searched for her. If she doesn't reappear soon, I'm afraid Ling Silang will be the first to go crazy.

I don't know what method Sun Xiangxiang used, but she managed to hide some of the maids. This woman is really... amazing.

She had an affair with the Third Prince and wasn't punished, and she even hid people; she's simply fearless.

After all her efforts were in vain, Du Mingxian could only fall into a deep sleep.

In the early morning, the old woman even fetched water for Du Mingxian to wash her face, muttering to herself as she did so, "Only I am kind-hearted. If anyone else were to serve you, they would have given up long ago."

"Thank you, I know you're the kindest person." Du Mingxian started praising him again.

The old woman was quite satisfied. "I'll wash you up in a bit, then go to the kitchen and bring you some porridge. You can eat some first, and after I finish eating, I'll go to Madam's to tell Mr. Niu."

"do not go."

The old woman frowned slightly. "You and Mr. Niu grew up together. No matter what grudges you may have, he was genuinely good to you. He's a good person, and you can get along with him."

Du Mingxian remained silent.

"He brought you out and helped your family. Even if he's with his wife now, what does that prove? Which man doesn't have a mistress these days?"

Du Mingxian suspected that if she didn't respond, her mother-in-law would nag her to death.

"That's not how it is... I mean, don't disturb him. He's serving the lady. If you tell him I'm awake, he'll definitely come to see me, and that will upset the lady."

"Now we all depend on you, Madam, and I... still hope that you can be happy."

“He will come to see me when he is not busy.”

The old woman nodded in satisfaction. "You should have said so earlier. I thought you didn't want to see Mr. Niu. Mr. Niu is such a good man. You're still young. As time goes by, you'll realize how rare a good man is."

Du Mingxian nodded awkwardly. Mr. Niu?

She doesn't even know this person, and he drugged her. She doesn't know how to face him if he comes. It's better to avoid him for now and wait until she recovers a bit.

She couldn't even lift her fingers before, but this morning she discovered... she could move her fingers again, which was a delightful surprise.

Let's wait and see, until she can move around again.

The old woman muttered to herself for a while longer before going out to fetch food.

Du Mingxian didn't want to see anyone, but shortly after she finished eating, the person came on their own.

The old woman was delighted to see him come in. "Mr. Niu is here!"

"Hmm." Niu Bao glanced subconsciously in the direction of the bed.

"She woke up yesterday, but didn't tell you because she was afraid of delaying your service to the madam and upsetting her, so she didn't say anything. She came over herself when you had time."

Niu Bao offered no explanation, saying, "You can go now. I want to speak with her alone for a couple of minutes."

"Yes."

The old woman left, and before leaving, she thoughtfully closed the door behind her, making the atmosphere in the room awkward.

Du Mingxian felt quite embarrassed, mainly because she didn't recognize this man.

Niu Bao didn't feel anything special, but when faced with a beautiful woman, he had a little more patience to explain. He walked to the bedside, sat down, and carefully glanced at Du Mingxian, then glanced at her again.

it's beautiful.

He likes it.

"Um... I rescued you from next to the burning corpse. If I hadn't saved you, you might have been burned to ashes."

Du Mingxian thought about it carefully and realized it was quite possible. She had just lit the fire and taken two steps back when she was exhausted and lost consciousness.

Even if she was some distance from the fire, the intense heat of the fire would have roasted her into jerky.

"Thank you."

She would be even happier if we didn't drug her.

"You're welcome, I also have my own selfish reasons."

Du Mingxian didn't say anything, she just quietly looked at the man.

He was tall but not strong at all. Compared to the other Dharma people, this man was thin, but standing next to Da Shun, he was very strong.

With his fair skin and long robe, he truly looked like a scholar.

“I know you’re a maid from the Crown Prince’s residence,” Niu Bao quickly explained after speaking. “But I don’t mind, I don’t mind you at all. I… I just want you to come with me.”

“I have neither a legal wife nor a concubine in my family. You are the only one so far.”

"I don't hit women. As long as you live a good life with me and give me a few more children, I will protect you."

Is Du Mingxian still able to answer any other questions?

"But I...I have someone I like."

Niu Bao's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he still explained patiently, "What's wrong with that? Everyone has someone they like, but the person you like might already be dead."

Du Mingxian cursed Niu Bao in her heart. How dare he curse Ling Silang! Once she recovers, he'll be the first one she kills.

“Our prince found all the servants in the Crown Prince’s residence too troublesome and killed them all. He only kept some of you beautiful women to serve him.”

So many people in the Crown Prince's residence died.

The Tharvas are truly admirable.

"I don't mind that you've served the prince. The prince is of noble status, and serving him is a sign of your respect. Don't worry, I will treat you well in the future."

Du Mingxian pretended to be shy and finally responded softly, "Mmm."

"Really?" Niu Bao was overjoyed and immediately reached out to grab Du Mingxian's hand. Her soft little hand felt comfortable to hold.

"Ah."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Du Mingxian blinked at him, "I... but I can't move right now, will you dislike me?"

"How could that be? You'll be able to move again, don't worry."

She rolled her eyes inwardly, but didn't say anything more.

"Am I... are we going to stay here forever? I heard from Granny Wang that this is their mistress's house. Is it alright for us to stay here forever? Will that mistress tolerate me?"

Niu Bao patted his chest and said with great confidence, "Don't worry, with me here, Xiangxiang won't look down on you. I'll take you away after this period is over."

Why don't you leave now?

“We can’t leave now. The checks outside are strict. If I take you out, even though you served our prince, and you’re considered one of our Tapo people, do you think the Da Shun people will let you go?”

Du Mingxian was so frightened that she quickly nodded.

Niu Bao was satisfied with her reaction. "Don't worry, I will protect you and won't let you get hurt. Now you just need to take good care of yourself. Getting well is the most important thing."

"Ah."

"Alright, if you need anything, just tell Granny Wang, and I'll talk to her and tell her to take good care of you. But... this isn't our place, so don't make any unreasonable requests."

"I see."

"I can still make the usual requests. Just bear with it for a few more days, and I estimate that the checks won't be so strict soon. Then I'll take you out of the city."

She couldn't get the information she wanted; all she heard was this man's nonsense about taking her out and treating her well.
