Chapter 599 Dispute

Wen Yibin turned around and gave him a cool look. "So sour. It seems you haven't tried hard enough and haven't learned how to hold a baby properly. How about your fourth uncle teaches you?"

"I'm just curious, how come my fourth uncle, who isn't married, is so good at holding children?"

Wen Yibin was holding An'an and playing with her for a while before answering, "Although I'm not married, I still know a lot of skills."

Du Mingxian watched from the side and couldn't help but laugh. "Fourth Uncle is here. I'll have the kitchen prepare some good wine and dishes."

"Go."

Du Mingxian went out to make arrangements, and Wen Yibin, holding the child, said, "Look at your father. When your maternal grandfather hugs you, he's so sore. You must never be like him in the future."

“We are good children, we will not learn those bad things.”

Ling Silang: "..." He's still here, do you have to talk like that?

One of them was glaring at the other, while the other was focused on holding and comforting the child; the atmosphere was strangely harmonious.

Soon Du Mingxian returned and took the child from Wen Yibin's arms. "It's quite surprising that Fourth Uncle is actually the Imperial Envoy."

"This isn't about belittling your fourth uncle. It's perfectly normal for him to come over for something like this."

Du Mingxian felt like it had been a long time since they last met, while Wen Yibin seemed even more narcissistic.

"How is Father?"

Wen Yibin gave her a strange look. "If you send a couple more letters home, you'll find out that your father isn't doing very well."

"This is……"

"With a few infuriating people in the family, it's no wonder my eldest brother's life is so difficult."

Du Mingxian suddenly thought of the fake heiress and Wu Erniu.

"Forget about such unlucky things. Let's talk about the current situation. The Crown Prince sent me here to clean up this area. The court is in a state of panic right now, and it's not easy for the Crown Prince to remain in power."

Ling Silang explained, "We have information on some locations, but we're afraid we can't capture all of them in one fell swoop, so we're waiting for the imperial envoy to arrive so we can come up with a plan before taking action."

"That's easy. Let them hold some kind of event, or we can give them a push so that once they're all there, we can just arrest them."

Du Mingxian shook her head, "It's not easy. Their village is very strict. But as for weapons and silver mines, as long as we have enough manpower, we can wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

"Weapons and silver mines? It seems these people have prepared quite a bit." The imperial treasury is not full, yet a rebel is richer than the imperial court; he must be no good.

“They also have treasures from the national treasury, which have likely been passed down through generations. We’re not sure where they are yet,” Du Mingxian said seriously. “I’ve already sent people to investigate. We’ll keep an eye out for any news. Before we make a move, I need to meet with those two people.”

Wen Yibin admired Du Mingxian quite a bit. "I heard from the Crown Prince that you've been an undercover agent all along?"

"Yes."

"Then this child, you..."

"It's a long story, but I was lucky enough to get my child out of there."

"It's too dangerous." Wen Yibin disagreed at all. "There are so many men and subordinates, let them handle it. You insist on going by yourself, and you're heavily pregnant. What if something goes wrong?"

"Don't worry, Fourth Uncle. I'm standing right in front of you now, so I'm lucky. There's nothing wrong with me."

Wen Yibin didn't know what to say. "The two people you're protecting, once we catch those people, we'll hand them over to you."

“One of them was a girl from our village who couldn’t survive there. There was a doctor in the county, and I introduced her to him. The doctor’s senior colleague happened to be passing by and was willing to take her away.”

“We always thought she was living a good life, but when I saw her this time, I realized I was the one who ruined her. With such an experience, she would have been better off working as a maid in a wealthy family.”

"So I have to save this person no matter what."

Seeing Du Mingxian's insistence, Wen Yibin gave her a strange look, then looked at Ling Silang and said, "You should have official documents about this matter. Bring them over so I can take a look."

"I'll have someone go and get it."

"Go get it yourself. I haven't seen my eldest niece in a long time, and I have some family matters I want to discuss with her."

Ling Silang didn't suspect anything between the two, but since everything was fine before, the fact that she insisted on making him leave showed that she didn't want him to know about this. "Okay, I'll go get it."

He left reassured. Even Du Mingxian could tell that Wen Yibin really had something to say.

"Is there something you want to talk to me about in private, Fourth Uncle?"

"The person you're trying to protect is a drug addict, isn't he?"

Du Mingxian was surprised, "How did Fourth Uncle know?"

“When I was in the prefectural city, I fought with her master. I came here to investigate these matters. Si Lang has Ping County to manage here, but I am different. I sent people to investigate long ago and found some information.”

At this point, Wen Yibin's eyes turned serious. "Do you know the dangers of a drug-using person?"

"Know something."

“You only know a little. You don’t know that the blood of the Medicine Man is more potent than snake venom. How can I keep such a person by your side? Even if she used to be from your village, she isn’t anymore. She’s been away for a long time.”

"Don't put danger around you because of something small. Look at the child in your arms. Aren't you afraid of being poisoned? Aren't you afraid of your child?"

Du Mingxian naturally knew all this. The reason she didn't tell Ling Silang about Zhaodi when she came back was because of this. "Fourth Uncle, I know how capable she is, but I'm willing to help. If we're careful, everything will be fine."

"She is a kind-hearted person, and besides, as long as she is not injured, she will not hurt the child."

Wen Yibin felt that his niece was becoming more and more irrational. "You child, you could have been safe and sound, but you insisted on keeping a poisonous person by your side. Are you afraid that he won't die fast enough?"

“Not really. After all, I was the one who saved her before, so of course I wanted her to be alright,” Du Mingxian explained reluctantly. “Seeing a child struggling to survive, I originally wanted her to have a better life, but who would have thought… because of one thought of mine, she ended up on this path.”

"I share some responsibility for how she became who she is today. I don't want her to be like this. I want her to live a good life, so... Fourth Uncle, could you please not tell Fourth Brother about this?"

Wen Yibin sensed that he was extremely angry, and his blood pressure instantly spiked. "You... didn't you ever think about your safety and the child's safety?"

"I have thought about it, of course I have."

Wen Yibin rolled his eyes at her. "Since you've thought about it, then don't think so much. I'm telling you, stay put. I'll take that person with me after I rescue her. It's not okay for her to live with you."

“But Fourth Uncle, she’s a poisoner. It wouldn’t be safe for you to keep her by your side.”

"She understands medical principles and is very good to have by my side."
