Chapter 600 Not Letting Her Suffer
"Fourth Uncle, I..."
"This matter is settled."
Upon hearing Yi Bin's domineering decision, Du Mingxian couldn't utter a word. She had originally planned to take Zhao Di with her after she came out, but... who could have imagined such an outcome?
“I won’t tell Ling Silang about Zhaodi, but you should keep that in mind. You’re a mother now, and your father cares about you a lot. If anything happens to you, we’ll all be very worried.”
"Yes." Although Wen Yibin was not much older than her, she couldn't stand up for herself when her fourth uncle said that, so she could only obediently agree.
Wen Yibin added, "Don't worry, I will take good care of her and won't let her suffer any injustice."
“I feel at ease knowing she’s with my fourth uncle.”
"That's good."
Du Mingxian held the child and tried to comfort her. Seeing her unhappy expression, Wen Yibin could only offer words of comfort, "If you feel you don't have enough people to serve you, I'll send you a few more later."
"No need, it's enough, it's enough. It's just that I feel Zhao Di is someone I genuinely saved, and her current situation is very pitiful."
"Sympathy is one thing, but as long as she has a good place to go, that's enough. You don't necessarily have to take her with you. That's dangerous, not a sign of kindness."
"Yes."
"You're lucky you didn't tell Ling Silang about this. Maybe he wouldn't be as magnanimous as I am, and instead of keeping someone by his side, he would have killed them outright."
Du Mingxian didn't know what Ling Silang would do, but at this moment, she could only nod slightly in agreement to whatever Wen Yibin said.
Wen Yibin was lecturing Du Mingxian, who was as obedient as a child. Soon Ling Silang returned, and Wen Yibin immediately shut up and began to sit to the side and flip through official documents.
The child was already asleep. Du Mingxian went into the inner room and put the child on the bed. Ling Silang followed her in, reached out and took her hand, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"No, I don't feel unwell."
"Are you so unhappy? Did your fourth uncle say something that upset you? Although he has a bad temper, he is sincere towards you and is a good fourth uncle."
Before Du Mingxian could answer, Wen Yibin coughed deliberately from outside, "I'm still alive."
"Can't I even say nice things to you?" Ling Silang replied from inside.
Wen Yibin was so angry he was speechless. He simply sat there quietly and looked at things.
"I'm fine."
"I'm your bedmate, do you think I can't tell whether you're happy or not?"
"It's nothing, it's just that my fourth uncle talked about some things from the past, and I felt compelled to say it."
"Alright, it's good that you're alright." Ling Silang didn't ask any further questions.
Before eating, Wen Yibin finished reading the official documents and put his things aside. Since they were all family, they ate together. Du Mingxian didn't have any particular thoughts at the moment.
Wen Yibin is right about one thing: she wants Zhao Di to have a good place to go. Perhaps Zhao Di can better play her role if she is placed in a public position now. Wen Yibin is not the kind of person who makes things up without thinking.
After a happy meal, Wen Yibin said, "Go inside and take care of the child. He should rest well. We'll handle the rest of the business first. You'll have Silang keep you updated on the progress, so don't worry too much."
"Yes."
"When we go out again, we'll definitely take you with us to contact people," Wen Yibin gave her a definite answer.
Du Mingxian liked it very much, "Okay, thank you, Fourth Uncle."
"Alright, if you have that time, draw some portraits of your children for your father, so he can be happy too."
Wen Yibin is still a bit confused. They have no blood relation, one was raised by their side since childhood, and the other entered the mansion with ulterior motives. Later, the other became closer to them than the one who was raised from childhood. It's hard to explain.
Ling Silang and Wen Yibin left, and Du Mingxian stayed for a while before going inside to rest.
The two men walked all the way to Ling Silang's room, brought in tea for Xiang Guang, and then left.
Ling Silang stood up and bowed deeply to Wen Yibin, "Thank you, Fourth Uncle."
Wen Yibin accepted his bow, then stared at him with some disdain. "You know about Zhao Di's affair, so why don't you explain the seriousness of the matter to her? Why do you insist that I intervene?"
“She came back before and said she had seen Zhao Di. Zhao Di had studied medicine before, so I thought of something, but I wasn’t too sure. I was thinking that when we finished up and met Zhao Di in person, I would find a way to tell Ming Xian about the uncertainty of having a poisoner around.”
"I didn't expect that before I even met the person, my fourth uncle had already stepped in and resolved the matter for me, so I should thank my fourth uncle."
Wen Yibin rolled his eyes in a truly inelegant manner this time. "Since you know that, then you should be more respectful to us elders. She's busy with her undercover mission and doesn't have time, but you don't even have time to send a letter to the capital?"
“Tell the people in the capital that you are all well and have nothing to do. My elder brother thinks about Mingxian’s letters every day, but he is always disappointed. He always says that daughters are like water spilled out after marriage, and they don’t miss their maternal family at all.”
He said this with a touch of sadness, his voice earnest, "Although Mingxian wasn't very close to our family, my older brother truly treated her like a daughter. Who knew that girl would be so heartless?"
Ling Silang immediately admitted his mistake, "It's my fault. I should have set aside some time each day to write to my father-in-law."
"Hmph, you talk a good game, but you've probably already told your family about what's going on here," Wen Yibin said sourly.
Ling Silang hurriedly shook his head, "No, we only wrote to our family before to tell them that we were fine and that they didn't need to worry. We haven't written since then. We've been closely watched by Prince Ming's men since we came here, and we're afraid that we might accidentally give something away and that would be bad for our family."
"So I've never written one."
Now it was Wen Yibin's turn to be shocked. "Mingxian giving birth is such a big thing, and you didn't even tell the family? After the baby was born, you didn't even write a note?"
"No." Ling Silang felt so embarrassed. He hadn't felt it before, but now that Wen Yibin was staring at him and asking, he suddenly felt very unfilial. His family must have been so worried, and he hadn't even sent a letter to let them know he was safe.
“I… was pregnant and gave birth. I was afraid my family would worry and come looking for us if they found out, so I didn’t dare tell them. Mingxian wasn’t with me at the time either. I was on edge every day and didn’t have a chance to think about anything else.”
"Now that my child is with me, I realize I was wrong and should have sent a letter home to let them know I'm safe."
Wen Yibin was speechless. "We can leave the topic of having a baby aside, but you two haven't replied to my messages for so long. Aren't you afraid of worrying your families? How can there be people like you?"
