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

Du Mingxian also thought of Wu Daniu.

Sun Xiangxiang has fallen from power, so why didn't this person come in? Everyone else did. Could he have run away?

The two people here are talking about Wu Daniu.

Outside, Wu Daniu was waiting for someone in a pavilion outside the city.

The day Sun Xiangxiang had her accident, he was the first to realize something was wrong. He immediately told Erniu not to contact him anymore and to take good care of his family.

Then he went into hiding, but fortunately, both Sun Xiangxiang's mansion and the Earl's mansion were in prison, so no one looked for him.

Having been reborn, the timing was wrong. He had already done a lot with Sun Xiangxiang when he was reborn, and it was too late to regret it. Now, all he wanted to do was escape and go to the border.

It's chaotic there, but there are also many opportunities. He can go to the battlefield, so he's not afraid of not having a chance. He can change his name and identity, and in a few years he'll be a hero again.

Before leaving, he still wanted to see Du Mingxian. Du Mingxian had promised him that she could take good care of his two younger sisters and his child.

Now... he wants to see her one more time, at least to get her assurance before leaving. He can feel more at ease leaving his younger siblings in her care.

After sending a message to Du Mingxian last time, she didn't come the next day, and news came from the Ling family that she was sick again.

She must be too ill to come out and see him.

Now... he wants to see her.

After waiting for a long time in the pavilion, a carriage finally arrived. A man and a woman were sitting in the carriage. He didn't recognize them and didn't know if they were just passing by or Du Mingxian.

Wu Daniu stood up, sword in hand, fully alert.

The carriage soon stopped beside the pavilion. No one spoke inside, and the man and woman on the carriage shaft both got off.

The woman stepped forward and handed him the letter. "Is this Wu Daniu?"

"it's me."

"This is not the place to talk. My lady requests that you come to the carriage to speak."

Wu Daniu was overjoyed and invited him to get into the carriage. The more he thought about the private space, the happier he became, and he followed.

When he reached the carriage, he realized something was wrong. The maid who had been leading the way had stopped and was now looking at him. The male servant who had gotten off the carriage earlier was now behind him.

This is to surround him.

He gripped his sword tightly. "Who are you people?"

“Ling family servant, didn’t you write to our madam saying you wanted to meet her? You went to the teahouse before, and now you’re arranging to meet her outside.” Chunfeng’s tone was full of disdain as she spoke.

Qiu Shu behind him had already made a move against Wu Daniu.

Wu Daniu now has memories of his past life. In this life, he didn't fight much on the battlefield and eventually deserted. By chance, he saved Sun Xiangxiang.

After learning about Sun Xiangxiang's identity, he decided to follow her, and eventually, with her help, he obtained a minor official position.

But things are different now...

Now he has the experience of bloodshed and killing enemies from his previous life, unlike the naivety of this life.

When Qiu Shu made his move, Wu Daniu had already made his move as well, but he was still a bit inexperienced. Qiu Shu defeated him in just two rounds.

Chunfeng rolled her eyes at him, then turned to the carriage and bowed, "Sir, the person has been captured."

The carriage curtain was lifted, revealing Ling Silang inside, who was scrutinizing Wu Daniu with sharp eyes.

Wu Daniu also looked up at Ling Silang. Their eyes met in the air, and it seemed as if countless flames were flashing in the sky.

The last time the two met was at their wedding, when they were both accompanied by their respective husbands. But now, Ling Silang was sitting high in a carriage, with servants and an official title by his side.

Wu Daniu, on the other hand, was in a sorry state and became a wanted criminal.

"Send it to the Prefect of the Capital."

"Yes," Qiu Shu replied. Chunfeng jumped onto the carriage and turned to ask, "Sir, are we really going to the temple?"

"Go, bye-bye, I want to find her as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Chunfeng drove Ling Silang away in his carriage, Qiushu mounted Wu Daniu's horse, laid Wu Daniu across the horse, and took him to the Jingzhao Yin.

All the way to the Prefect of Jingzhao, Wu Daniu was shaken to his core, but he still refused to give up.

"Why won't she see me even once? Just once would be enough. Won't she give me any chance at all? We were even engaged before."

Qiu Shu found it really annoying, so she finally knocked the man unconscious with a single palm strike.

Upon arriving at the gate of the Jingzhao Prefecture, Qiu Shu did not dismount. He said to the guards at the gate, "This is Wu Daniu, Sun Xiangxiang's husband."

The guards knew about this and were very happy to see Wu Daniu; now that the prisoner was caught, the brothers wouldn't have to run anymore.

"Could you please move forward a little and get to the side door, closer to the cell door?"

"Okay." Qiu Shu rode his horse around the area.

Inside the prison, Du Mingxian was discussing something with Granny Wang.

"My second sister-in-law is the cook at Xianglou. Xianglou belongs to our family. In a little while, give the jailer some silver and have him run an errand to buy some food for us."

“There’s a recipe that only my second sister-in-law and I know. If someone orders this dish, my second sister-in-law will definitely know how to make it.”

Granny Wang was not optimistic. "There's a high chance it won't work. What can one dish prove? Besides, we're in jail right now."

"Give it a try, it's better than not trying at all."

"Alright, we'll try again when the jailer comes." Having already walked halfway, Granny Wang no longer cared about the money and just wanted to get out as soon as possible, as her wounds were also very painful.

As Qiu Shu led the man into the Jingzhao Prefecture prison, a woman's voice came from inside, "Is anyone there? Is anyone there? Someone come here."

The guards are newly assigned to the shift today, but the guards who were on duty last night said that these two have money to embezzle, and they are willing to do them a favor.

The main prisoner has been moved to a different cell, so I need to explain to the guys in the other cell why. The matter of the silver can't be kept secret any longer.

The jailer was about to go over to see what Granny Wang was shouting when Qiu Shu came in, pulling at a person with drooping hands. "And this is..."

He didn't know Qiu Shu, nor did he know the slumped-over man, but the fact that he could walk into the prison proved that he had some kind of identity.

Qiu Shu threw the man to the ground. "Sun Xiangxiang's man, Wu Daniu, needs to be kept a close eye on. He's a key criminal."

"You caught them? That's great, thank you."

"It's nothing." Qiu Shu waved his hand and turned to leave. Before he left, he heard a woman inside calling, "Someone come here! Someone has a fever!"

The one shouting is Granny Wang, the person with a fever... Du Mingxian.

Du Mingxian has a fever again. She drank some spiritual water this morning, but she still has no strength in her body and can only lift her hand a little bit. Now the fever has returned.

Granny Wang was also frightened, and Du Mingxian was completely delirious from the fever.

The jailers didn't care. There were four guards on duty today. Two of them dragged Wu Daniu inside like a dead dog, while the other went in to check on Wang Pozi and Du Mingxian.

"What's all the noise about? Can't you just stay quiet for a while?"

Granny Wang quickly handed the official a letter written on a piece of cloth she had torn from her inner garment that morning, along with the gold hairpin that Niu Bao had given her.

"Sir, could you please send a message to Granny Dong at the residence of Lord Ling of the Hanlin Academy? Tell her I wish to see her and that she absolutely must come, she must come!"
