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

Du Mingxian let her help her up and prop her head up so that she could lean against Wang Pozi and listen to her talk. She did feel much more comfortable.

"You said you'd take me away, but now I want my freedom and some money."

"This...you're putting me in a difficult position. I can still find ways to get some money from Mr. Niu, but as for being a free man, I have no choice. I'm not a member of the Sun family anymore. Your indenture is in Madam's hands, isn't it?"

“It’s definitely not okay for me to ask Madam for it myself. Now that Mr. Niu is very popular with Madam, it’s definitely not okay for him to ask for it. This won’t do.”

Regardless of whether the matter can be accomplished or not, Du Mingxian must first pretend that it is impossible.

Granny Wang stared at Du Mingxian, her tone very certain, "I believe you can definitely do it, you must have a way to help me, it just depends on whether you are willing to help me."

Why would you think that?

“You and Mr. Niu are not what you say. Mr. Niu is supposed to be lustful, but you probably don’t like him. He keeps giving you medicine because he’s afraid you’ll run away, not because he’s afraid you’ll elope with the scholar.”

Du Mingxian was extremely surprised. "How...how did you figure that out?"

That old woman is formidable.

"The reason is simple: you've always called him Mr. Niu, and when you mention him, there's no emotion in your eyes. You say your relationship is that of childhood sweethearts, but that's not the case at all."

"The relationships you're talking about are all made up. If you really care about someone and like someone, how could you be willing to watch him be with other women?"

"Everyone says that a woman in the harem should be generous and not jealous, but which of those women who truly embodies this genuinely loves their man?"

"Those women who keep making a fuss are doing so because they love, care, and crave a response."

"Your reaction to him is too bland."

"And... Mr. Niu said you two grew up together and he likes you a lot. If he likes you but goes to sleep with other women, it's not a big deal for a man."

"But if a man really cares about a woman, he will come to see her every day."

“After you were brought in by Mr. Niu, he came every few days, not every day. Before, he came every other day to drug you.”

"Later, he asked me to give you medication, and he didn't come for several days. Given this situation, could you two be in that kind of relationship?"

Watching Granny Wang calmly analyze everything, Du Mingxian exclaimed inwardly, "Wow, wow, she's so amazing! Her analysis is spot on!"

"How do you want me to help you? I'm not wrong about one thing: you are now Madam's person, and your indenture is in Madam's hands. It's very difficult for me to do anything about it."

She neither admitted that Granny Wang's analysis was correct nor denied it; she simply let herself guess.

Wang Pozi said with a smile, "It's not that difficult to do. Mr. Niu is not by the lady's side. Now that the lady values ​​him, as long as he steps forward, he will definitely be able to get it."

"That won't do. Even if he's popular with the madam, he's not the only man in the backyard. Besides... if he asks the madam for a lowly maid like you, it will definitely arouse her suspicion. Don't ruin his plans." Du Mingxian didn't think it was a good idea, and even if she did, this shouldn't be done this way.

Niu Bao is currently by Sun Xiangxiang's side, so there must be something about him that Sun Xiangxiang likes or that makes her feel comfortable. What if... he takes Wang Pozi and causes Sun Xiangxiang to dislike Niu Bao?

She hasn't recovered yet, and angering Niu Bao wouldn't be a good thing for her.

Granny Wang's face turned cold. "So you don't want to help me?"

Du Mingxian felt that Granny Wang's eyes were very cold. Suddenly, she realized that she had acted impulsively just now. Now that she hadn't taken her medicine, it wasn't like she couldn't do this kind of thing.

This old woman is quite capable; it wouldn't be a bad idea if we could take her with us later.

“I’m not fully recovered yet, and he doesn’t come to see me very often, as you know. How about this… when he comes over, I’ll tell him that I really like you, so he can be prepared.”

"When we leave, I'll talk to him and have him tell his wife, or mention it to her beforehand. It shouldn't be difficult for him to take you with him then."

“You come out with us first. Once we’re outside, you’ll be mine. Then it’ll be easy for me to let you go.” Du Mingxian thought her idea was pretty good, as long as she could undress her arms.

She can then enter the space, where she can drink some spiritual water and her body will recover quickly. At that time, no one will be able to imprison her.

I have no idea how anxious my husband must be.

Old Lady Wang disagreed, saying, "You're saying nice things now, that I'll go back with you, but... what if you won't let me go?"

"You've spent these past few days with me, you should be able to tell what I'm like. You're obviously a very experienced person, don't you have that kind of discernment?"

Du Mingxian provoked her, "Besides, it's true that I took you out, but your heart isn't with me. If I force you to stay, it's not keeping a trusted confidant, it's keeping a potential threat. Who would want to stay?"

Granny Wang was satisfied. "You must take responsibility for what you said."

"Don't worry, you definitely will."

Granny Wang stopped mentioning the medicine and began to cry to Du Mingxian about her hardships. She told Du Mingxian a story that she had embellished, summarizing her life in a distorted way.

awful.

It's terrible.

It was terrible.

Terrible.

She's the only one in the world who's this pitiful.

Du Mingxian was extremely cooperative, even shedding a couple of tears, and then repeatedly assured that she would definitely help Granny Wang get out of there.

Du Mingxian finally stopped taking medicine, but Ling Silang's condition wasn't good.

Ling Silang was gloomy because he was thinking about Du Mingxian every day. The atmosphere at home was also tense. Everyone was busy looking for her, but she just disappeared.

Ling Silang was still thinking in his room when Chen Ming returned from outside. "My lord, someone has sent a message."

"who?"

Chen Ming looked at Ling Silang with some difficulty, and finally said directly, "I asked Sister Chunfeng to help me investigate. It was Wu Daniu who sent the letter to... Madam."

The name Wu Daniu is not considered auspicious in the Ling family.

Hearing Wu Daniu constantly sending messages to Du Mingxian, he felt a bit annoyed.

What did the letter say?

Chen Ming handed over the paper. "It's just a simple note saying that I want to see Madam tomorrow morning at... Fulai Tea House."

Ling Silang took the note and looked at it. The handwriting wasn't very good, but he wondered what Wu Daniu meant by sending the message.

Mingxian and Wu Daniu...

Mingxian never hid anything from him; he knew everything about Wu Daniu and her affair.

Wu Daniu wasn't one of the Third Prince's men. When the Third Prince fell from power, all the people he had connections with were either killed or exiled. How did he manage to escape unscathed?

And now they still dare to show their faces.

If this person didn't suddenly appear in front of him, he would have forgotten that such a person even existed.
