Chapter 702 Still selling wine? There's a problem with the wine.
"Don't get impatient. Even if you have experience, you don't know what the next test will be about."
So read more books.
"You accompany me."
Du Mingxian rolled her eyes at him, but in the end she didn't say anything, and the two went home together.
With everything at home settled, Du Mingxian was a little worried about the Wang family. The investigation into the Changping Earl's Mansion was still ongoing, and she didn't know when Qiu Shu would be able to return.
Du Mingxian stopped worrying about things in the county and stayed home to take care of An'an. Ling Silang would occasionally go to the county to take care of her.
Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and winter has arrived. Winter here is cold even though we keep a charcoal brazier at home.
That day, Du Mingxian was pondering whether to build a whole kang (heated brick bed) when Qiu Shu, who had gone to the capital, finally returned.
Qiu Shu looked travel-worn and had lost weight.
"Sir, madam."
Ling Silang pointed to the seat opposite him, "Sit down and let's talk."
Having spent a long time with the two, Qiu Shu knew their temperaments and sat down without hesitation.
Du Mingxian poured Qiu Shu a cup of tea and handed it to her, saying, "Drink some hot water first."
Qiu Shu finished his tea in one gulp before speaking, "The second young lady of the Changping Earl's Mansion has found a husband, and the person she married..." He glanced at Du Mingxian with a strange look before hesitatingly saying, "He has some connection with the madam; it's Wu Daniu."
Du Mingxian: "..." The Wu family got lucky?
"So Wu Daniu was behind all of this?"
"Not entirely. The second young lady of the Changping Earl's Mansion has a business mind, but because she lacks power, she sided with the Third Prince, and all the money she earned in secret went to the Third Prince."
"The Second Miss also has her eye on Wang Jin, and at the same time, she is also interested in the Wang family's wealth. She wants to give all this wealth to the Third Prince, which is why this happened. The Third Prince is also helping her behind the scenes."
Du Mingxian frowned. The Third Prince was the Emperor in his previous life, the ultimate winner. However, the Crown Prince in his previous life did not have a strong body and therefore did not have much competitive strength.
This life is different. The crown prince is completely healed, so it will be much easier for him to ascend to the throne.
"The Crown Prince knows about this matter and will handle it. There is absolutely no need to worry about the Wang family. From now on, the Crown Prince will protect the Wang family, and no one will dare to make things difficult for them, as long as the Wang family doesn't do anything reckless or illegal."
This is tantamount to giving the Wang family a powerful backer.
"Very good, very good." Du Mingxian was quite satisfied with the result.
Qiu Shu added, "Madam, you can rest assured that the Wang family will be fine in the future."
"That's good."
The Wu family has been causing trouble for too long. Now that they've arrived in the capital, next year when they're there, it will be time for a showdown.
"Tell Chunfeng and the others to come back; the family needs someone."
"Yes."
"You will stay at the Xu family's house for the time being, and go and relieve Xia Yu so that she can come back and stay by my side."
"Yes."
After arranging these things, Qiu Shu left. Du Mingxian didn't need to worry about the rest; the people below would take care of it.
“The boys in the family are all grown up now. When Xia Yu and the others come to stay here, we can ask them to teach Da Bao and the others. Taking an hour each day can also help them stay healthy.”
Ling Silang also had this idea. "Great! An hour isn't enough. Let them practice properly so they won't be bullied in the future."
"Okay, everyone, big and small, will practice together. Whoever is willing to stick with it can practice, and those who are not willing to stick with it can forget about it."
"It all depends on them."
Time flies, and the New Year is here in the blink of an eye. This is the first New Year after Ling Silang's health has improved. The family has experienced ups and downs, but now the whole family is happier than anyone else.
The preparations for the New Year were incredibly lavish. Whenever Chen Ming went home, Du Mingxian would prepare some things for him to take back and give to Widow Chen.
Widow Chen is now living with Du Youtian, which was at Du Mingxian's request, with the aim of keeping an eye on Du Youtian.
Du Youtian is a man who can't sit still, and now that Widow Chen is watching over him, she can feel a little more at ease.
Before the Lunar New Year, Wang's father brought Wang Jin and Wang Qi, whose injuries had not fully healed, to the house to express his gratitude. He also wanted to give Du Mingxian a shop or something, but Du Mingxian refused to accept them.
Instead, he gave the prince's father a suggestion: now that the crown prince is protecting them, the prince's father should find a way to get the crown prince to pay more attention to them, which would be an extra layer of protection.
Life got back on track, and after the New Year, the clan planned to open a shop to sell soap. Du Mingxian then sold the small shop that the Wang family had given her to the clan.
The person who used to manage the shop has now been transferred to help out at the restaurant.
The cause was simple... Little Zhou was now worrying all the time, fearing that Ling Silang would go to the capital after the exam, and she would not be able to see Du Mingxian for a long time. Finally, Du Mingxian suggested that they go to the capital together.
Xiao Zhou was worried about the restaurant that she had worked so hard to get started, so Du Mingxian gave her some advice.
So, at the beginning of spring, Ling Erlang and Xiao Zhoushi were already preparing to let go of the restaurant business.
An'an can't be separated from her these days. Du Mingxian spends most of her time with the child. Ling Silang also wants to spend time with his wife and child, but his family keeps a close eye on him, so they tell him to hurry up and read. Ling Silang can only read in his room.
That day, Du Mingxian was playing with An'an. The little guy, who was almost a year old, was chubby and eager to walk. Every time someone held him, he wanted to stand up by himself.
Xiangyang rushed in from outside, "Madam, there's a man named Lin Hu at the village entrance. He rode into the village on horseback, saying he was looking for you, but he fainted before he even reached the door."
Du Mingxian was so shocked that she stood up abruptly, "Lin Hu?"
"Yes."
"What about people?"
"She fainted. There were villagers watching her. We didn't know her, so no one dared to bring her over."
"Go quickly and carry the person back."
"Yes."
Xiangyang left, and Du Mingxian, carrying An'an, was about to go inside when Ling Silang came out of the house. "I heard it. Lin Hu is here. Something must have happened."
"People get dizzy as soon as they enter the village, which shows they were in a hurry on the way."
While the two were talking, Xia Yu had already carried the person into the yard.
"Put it in the guest room."
Once the person was put inside, Ling Silang went in to treat him. After two acupuncture treatments, Lin Hu, who had been traveling day and night and was exhausted, slowly woke up and was very excited to see Ling Silang and Du Mingxian.
"Quick...run away!"
Ling Silang and Du Mingxian exchanged a glance, not understanding Lin Hu's meaning.
"But what happened?"
"I..." Lin Hu's throat was dry and sore, and his lips were chapped, clearly indicating severe dehydration.
Du Mingxian quickly poured water for him, and as she turned her back, she dripped a drop of spiritual water on him before bringing the water over, saying, "Drink some water first before we talk."
Ling Silang took the cup, and Lin Hu drank the water from Ling Silang's hand before quickly speaking, "The wine that the Ling family provided to the barracks was problematic. The border suffered a defeat, and the court is questioning you. Officials will be coming to detain you soon."
"The lightest punishment is exile, the heaviest is beheading. Run! Run!"
