Chapter 673 Madam Wang Visits
Without any hesitation, the servant quickly said, "That day, when Madam went to the Wang family to request an audience, she directly gave her name. That person investigated the Wang family, but not many people know about your relationship with the Wang family. Perhaps she didn't find out, so she refused to see Madam on the spot."
"Afterwards, I felt something was wrong, so I specifically asked my junior to ask him about it."
“I answered truthfully at the time, saying that you were a godparent of the Wang family. She asked what the relationship was like, and I said that we hadn’t been in contact for a long time. She was probably a little worried, so she had someone check where you were staying, and I happened to hear the location.”
"The first thing I did when I woke up this morning was come here to beg for a way to survive."
Du Mingxian was surprised by the other party's caution. "Your life or death is still up to the Wang family to decide."
However, this person... just walked in so openly, who knows what will happen when the other party wakes up and will probably investigate.
She hesitated for a moment. Sending the person over directly would expose the Wang family's current hiding place, but not sending them over would also cause trouble.
Seeing Du Mingxian's predicament, Xia Yu stepped forward to remind her, "Madam, those people were drugged and won't wake up until tonight."
"Oh, then take the person out and walk around the street to make sure no one is paying attention before taking them back. Have Dongmo keep an eye on them and make sure they don't escape."
"Yes."
Upon hearing that they were to be taken to the Wang family's lodging, the servants immediately kowtowed repeatedly, begging, "Madam, please give me the antidote."
"That poison won't kill you for now. If my godfather wakes up and gives you a chance to live, then you don't need to worry."
Upon hearing this, the servants knew that whether he could stay or not depended on the Wang family.
"Yes."
Xia Yu took the person away, and then Du Mingxian went to find Ling Silang and An'an.
After An'an woke up, she was a bit restless. In order to let Du Mingxian sleep a little longer, Ling Silang took An'an to play in the small garden in the backyard of the inn, and Chen Ming followed behind.
When Du Mingxian found him, Ling Silang had already put An'an to sleep. Seeing her come over, he smiled gently and asked, "You're awake. Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet, is An'an asleep?"
"Yeah, I'm asleep."
The two returned to their room, and Du Mingxian recounted what had happened with the servants. Ling Silang, however, was not worried, saying, "If they find out the person is missing, they'll definitely discover it when they wake up, and they might even come knocking on our door."
"That's not a problem. The operation took place in the middle of the night last night. When they wake up tonight, there might be a time lag, and they might think nothing happened?"
"Heh." Ling Silang laughed. "Then let's see when they find out that the guards are all gone. They'll definitely go to check, it won't be long."
"Then let's rest for the next couple of days and wait for her to come over so we can meet her."
This wait lasted two days.
Du Mingxian received the news that Wang's father had woken up. She was just about to take An'an and Ling Silang to the other house when that woman stopped coming.
She is now nominally Mrs. Wang.
The woman was in her early twenties, exuding a seductive charm, and her every step was alluring. She was followed by an old woman and a thug.
The other party went straight to the door of the room. Du Mingxian was about to go out when she opened the door and came face to face with the old woman who was raising her hand to knock.
Upon seeing the people, Du Mingxian guessed their identities, but still looked blank, "You are...?"
The old woman withdrew her hand and said arrogantly, "Our lady is the Lady of the Wang family."
"Madam Wang?" she asked, puzzled.
Before the old woman could speak, the person behind her spoke up, "You're the master's adopted daughter, aren't you?"
Du Mingxian was somewhat bewildered, "Godfather got married?"
“When you came to visit a couple of days ago, those servants were ignorant and refused to let you in. I’ve come here today specifically to apologize.”
"You're too kind, Madam Wang." Du Mingxian's attitude was not warm.
Madam Wang was somewhat displeased with this form of address, but she didn't say anything. She just looked aggrieved and said, "I know you find it hard to accept my existence, but my husband... truly loves me."
"Wang Jin and Wang Qi ran away from home because they couldn't accept me as their stepmother. We sold our property and sent out a lot of people to find them, but we still couldn't find them."
"These two children are also willful. The master fell ill because he couldn't find anyone for a long time, and his illness is getting worse and worse. Now they are both unconscious."
"There's no one in this family who's easy to deal with, and I've been so focused on the backyard that I've neglected what's going on in front of me."
Du Mingxian understood; this was an attempt to ingratiate herself. "Madam, you've worked hard. How is my godfather? I was quite worried when I didn't see him the other day."
"He is unconscious and the doctor said he needs to rest. I don't dare let anyone disturb him, so I can only apologize to you that I can't let you see him."
Before Du Mingxian could speak, a servant girl said, "Miss, our madam is not feeling well and should not stand for long. Why don't you come inside to talk?"
“I forgot, please, Madam.” Du Mingxian stepped aside.
Madam Wang entered the room. Ling Silang, holding the child, had originally planned to leave with Du Mingxian, but upon hearing that the Wang family was coming, he sat down at the table with the child and waited. He didn't expect them to come in.
He stood up, ignoring the person who came, and said to Du Mingxian, "I'll take the child outside first."
"it is good."
From the moment Madam Wang entered and saw Ling Silang, her eyes were glued to him, and she continued to stare at him even after he left.
Du Mingxian's expression turned cold, and she said in a flat tone, "Please sit down, Madam."
After Madam Wang sat down, she didn't rush to say anything else, but only asked, "Who went out just now?"
"My husband."
“Your husband,” Madam Wang said, her eyes brightening. “That’s my son-in-law.” Looking up, she saw Du Mingxian’s probing gaze and quickly added, “You two are quite a good match.”
Du Mingxian didn't reply, "Why did Madam come today?"
"Now that I've married into the Wang family, I have to take responsibility for my two children, Wang Jin and Wang Qi. They've been away from home for a long time, and I've come here today to ask if you've seen them?"
“I have been away from home for the past few years and only just returned this time. I was thinking of coming to see my godfather. I was unaware that my brother Jin and brother Qi had left home.”
Madam Wang believed this. She had investigated the Ling family's affairs to some extent, and she had investigated them very thoroughly. Moreover, after the two of them left, they rarely wrote back home.
“That’s fine then. I’m just worried about the two of them. As long as they come back, your godfather’s condition will improve. This family… can’t just fall apart like this.”
Du Mingxian felt disgusted watching her act and wanted to directly expose the relationship, but since some things hadn't been investigated clearly yet, she had to hold back.
“Madam Wang, if they are not coming back because of your presence, then why don’t you leave the Wang family? They will return to their previous lives and come back when they hear the news. This is actually the fastest way to solve the problem.”
Madam Wang was probably surprised by Du Mingxian's words and looked up at her in shock.
