Chapter 524 Unrelated to Sexual Activity
After they were released, Du Mingxian took Xiangyang to the prison.
There were guards at the prison cell door, and no one dared to stop Du Mingxian when she arrived. They were all curious, but no one dared to ask any questions. The current magistrate was much stricter than the former one.
If I talk too much, I might not even have any clothes left to wear.
When Du Mingxian was taken to prison, Xiang Guang was guarding her, while Ling Silang was in Guo Miaomiao's cell.
"Xiangyang, you and Xiangyang stay here and guard this place."
"It's ma'am."
Du Mingxian walked forward slowly. Ling Silang saw her coming and asked, "Did you bring what I asked you to bring?"
"I brought it, it's this..."
They're going to replace her; I don't know if Guo Miaomiao is dead or alive.
Ling Silang said to Xiangyang and Xiangguang, who were standing to the side, "You two go out first."
"Yes."
Du Mingxian knew what Ling Silang was going to do, but there were other prisoners in the cell. She looked around and found that the nearby cells were empty, which put her mind at ease.
With a push of his hand, he brought Guo Miaomiao and Ling Silang into the space.
As soon as he entered the space, Ling Silang said, "Please trouble Madam to change their clothes."
"Oh."
Du Mingxian changed Guo Miaomiao's prison clothes onto the corpse. She then found one of her own clothes to change into on Guo Miaomiao, and looked back at Ling Silang, who was making medicine, with some unease. "Won't Guo Miaomiao wake up?"
The space was her biggest secret. Although she knew that Ling Silang was careful and wouldn't bring her any danger, she was still a little worried.
"No, she won't wake up for now."
"That's good."
After Ling Silang prepared the medicine, he poured it directly onto the corpse.
"What use is it if someone is already dead?"
"Yes, they were specially made for the corpses, and the faces were different. It's best if they were disfigured. Guo Miaomiao was poisoned, so that's easy to handle."
Soon, the symptoms on the corpse were the same as those of poisoning, and Du Mingxian breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go out first. If we stay here too long, it will arouse suspicion."
"Walk."
After the two people and the corpse left the space, Du Mingxian glanced at the corpse on the ground and asked, "Where did you find it?"
"I sent my guards to find the body of a dying man."
"That's good."
The two walked out of the cell. Ling Silang looked terrible. "What did the prisoners eat today? How did they get like this?"
"It's some food sent by the Guo family. They were worried that Guo Miaomiao wasn't eating well in prison. The madam had previously instructed the servants to take good care of the prisoners, so we brought the food in."
“Very good, Guo family.” Ling Silang instructed Xiang Guang, “Take those poisonous things and let’s go to the Guo family to ask them.”
"Yes."
After walking a little further away, Ling Silang turned back to Du Mingxian and said, "You go back and rest first. I need to go to the Guo family. I need to find out why the Guo family is trying to harm people."
"Alright, take a few more men with you. I don't think the Guo family is a peaceful bunch."
Even if Guo Miaomiao is disobedient, no serious crime has been found out about her so far. Why would the Guo family send someone to kill her? It all makes no sense.
After parting ways with Ling Silang, Xiangyang followed behind Du Mingxian. "Madam, what did the master ask you to deliver to him? Why did the Guo family kill Guo Miaomiao? She was such a good person, and she just died like that."
"medicine."
"Oh."
Xiangyang didn't ask why he was delivering the medicine. Some things you can ask, and some things you can't.
Back in her room, Du Mingxian said she was tired and asked Xiangyang to go out and keep watch, while she went into her space to check on Guo Miaomiao. She was still alive, but her face had turned black, indicating that she had been poisoned quite severely.
Ling Silang returned very late, his face showing signs of exhaustion.
"But what was found?"
"Not yet. The two people the Guo family dislikes the most have been arrested and imprisoned. The Guo family has also sent people to guard them, allowing them to enter but not leave."
"That's good. It's too late now, we'll have to wait until tomorrow to talk about it."
"Yes, but I can only stabilize Guo Miaomiao's condition temporarily. If I don't save her soon, she will really die."
So Ling Silang spent most of the night preparing the antidote in his spatial dimension, while Du Mingxian stayed in the space, dozing off and eating intermittently, which could be considered as keeping him company.
Ling Silang told Du Mingxian to go and rest, but Du Mingxian refused, saying she could sleep tomorrow.
After taking the medicine that evening, Guo Miaomiao's complexion improved considerably.
Du Mingxian began to worry, "What do we do now? What if she wakes up?"
"She won't wake up for now, but she will eventually. She can't stay in the space forever. I haven't decided where to put her yet."
Du Mingxian didn't answer his question, but only asked him, "How are the yamen runners doing lately? Have the parasites been dealt with?"
"That's about it. Now, those who are doing things in the backyard, except for the kitchen staff, will all be assigned to help out with the yamen runners. They'll be paid for it."
“That works too. I’ll go out and buy some people quietly. We can’t make this public, because if we do, I’m afraid many people will try to send people into our mansion.”
"Yes, I'll do it quietly. Thank you for your hard work."
"I don't have to work hard; I just do some behind-the-scenes work. You're the one who has to work hard in front of others."
Ling Silang chuckled and lightly kissed her forehead. "Come on, let's go to sleep."
"Go sleep outside. You need to get to work early tomorrow morning."
"it is good."
When Du Mingxian woke up, Ling Silang was nowhere to be seen. It was almost lunchtime, and Xiangyang was getting impatient waiting outside. If the adults hadn't arranged for her not to be disturbed before leaving, she definitely wouldn't have been able to wait this long.
"Madam, you're finally awake! You scared me to death! I thought something had happened to you."
"Don't overthink it, I'm fine."
“Madam, you…” Xiangyang hesitated.
Du Mingxian didn't look at Xiang Yang's expression, but she knew that this girl always said what she meant. "Just say what you have to say directly. There's no need to beat around the bush like this."
"Madam, you are pregnant and your belly will grow bigger. You and the master can have sex, but you must be moderate. What happened last night is definitely not allowed, as it would harm the young master."
After Xiangyang finished speaking with his eyes closed, he took a step back fearfully before cautiously opening his eyes.
Du Mingxian was both amused and annoyed. "How do you, a little girl, know these things?"
“I…you haven’t gotten up yet, and the master said that the lady was exhausted last night and told her to rest well, that’s why…so I went to ask the doctor.”
"What? You even went to ask the doctor?"
"Yes, but don't worry, Madam, I didn't say it was you."
Du Mingxian felt utterly humiliated and didn't know what to say to Xiang Yang. "Fine, fine, you mean well. Please don't go out and ask next time. Just ask me directly, okay?"
“But Madam, I’m worried about the young master. It’s the middle of the night. If it’s not for bedroom activities, what could be tiring you up?”
Du Mingxian felt a little tired. No one knew that she had a spatial ability, so how could she explain that she was so tired in the middle of the night that it had nothing to do with sex?
