Chapter 536 Preparing to Go to the Tian Residence

Watching the people coming and going on the street, she vaguely thought that if the matter of the Ming King had been resolved earlier, the war a few years later would not have happened, and perhaps no one would have died.

Therefore, what she is doing now is meaningful and worth persisting in.

Thinking about this made her feel much better.

When Du Mingxian returned home that evening, she told Chunfeng that she was going to the Tian residence, which greatly frightened Chunfeng.

"Madam, this won't do. What if something unexpected happens if you go directly? Our people haven't tested Miss Tian's bodyguard yet, and we can't be sure if we can defeat him."

“The Tian family is definitely problematic. If something happens to you inside, how am I supposed to explain it to the master? Please forgive me, Madam.”

Du Mingxian reached out and gently patted her shoulder reassuringly, "Don't worry, I always disguise myself before going to make the transaction. You went with me the first two times, and there were absolutely no problems, so what are you worried about?"

"I still have skills. If anything happens, I can protect myself without any problem."

Chunfeng couldn't listen to anything else; her mind was filled with thoughts of what would happen if something happened to the madam, and how she would explain it to the master and the crown prince.

When the Crown Prince handed her over to the Lady, he secretly instructed her to take good care of the Lady's safety, saying that nothing was more important than the Lady's safety.

"Madam, regardless of your skill level, the Tian family has such formidable bodyguards. Even if Miss Tian is capable, she is still just a young lady, yet she has such powerful people around her. Do Mr. Tian or the other Madams Tian have even more powerful people around them?"

"Madam, there are always people more capable than you. What if... what if?"

"Madam, my dear madam, can we reconsider this matter? I'm so worried. What will I do if something happens to you after you go in?"

Du Mingxian could tell that Chunfeng was genuinely afraid. What hadn't a bodyguard seen? Yet, because she was going to the Tian family, he was trembling slightly, his whole body radiating protest.

"Calm down first."

"My decision to go to the Tian family is finalized. I must go; there's no way I won't go. I've been planning this for so long, all for this moment—to infiltrate the Tian family. If you tell me not to go, I'll be unwilling to accept it."

"Also... I really will protect myself, you don't need to worry so much. I can assure you, I will definitely come out safely. I need this opportunity to go to the Tian family."

Chunfeng shook her head again, "Madam, it's not that I don't want you to go, it's just too dangerous. The Tian family is clearly a den of wolves. Shouldn't we consider whether they will notice us?"

"We thought we were in the shadows, but perhaps the Tian family is also observing us?"

“You’ve been sending food to the Tian family. No other family in the city has this kind of good stuff, not even the Ming Prince’s Mansion. Most people would think of the Ming Prince’s Mansion first, but you went to the Tian family.”

“Now that Miss Tian likes new things, you can bring out something new. I’m afraid this is a trap they’ve set for us after they realize something’s wrong.”

Du Mingxian was stunned. She had never thought of it that way before, because she had always been very confident in herself. But she hadn't considered what Chunfeng had just said.

If there are good things, most people would definitely want to go to the Prince Ming's mansion, or the prefect's place, since those families are wealthy and the rewards they receive would be greater.

But she went to the Tian family's house anyway, which... doesn't make sense.

It's possible that the Tian family noticed her a long time ago and are now just waiting for her to walk into their trap.

Seeing that Du Mingxian was finally somewhat moved, Chunfeng was very excited. "Miss, we still need to think this over carefully. I'm afraid that if you want to go to the Tian family, they will also use this as a pretext, which will make things even more troublesome."

Du Mingxian naturally took this into consideration. "Chunfeng, regardless of whether this matter is a trap or a scheme, I must go."

"Miss, if the other party is already observing from the shadows, going to the Tian family now won't bring any good things. What will you do then?"

“We can be the ones who set up the scheme, or we can be the ones who play it, so you really don’t need to worry.”

Seeing that Chunfeng was about to speak, Du Mingxian said to her seriously and earnestly, "Don't worry, no matter what, I'll know once I go and see for myself. Even if it's a trap, it might not be a bad thing for us."

"The process of game theory is all about stability. As long as we are careful, we can't go wrong."

Chunfeng really didn't want Du Mingxian to go, but seeing Du Mingxian's condition, she was determined to go, and there was no point in trying to persuade her otherwise.

“Madam, how about this: you take me with you when you go. I can help you, and even if something happens, we can escape together.”

Or she could use her life to save the lady's life; either way would be suitable.

Du Mingxian was well aware of Chunfeng's thoughts, but she still refused, "I didn't have anyone with me before, and if I suddenly bring you along, it will be difficult to explain later."

"Perhaps the Tian family doesn't suspect anything; it's just that we're overthinking things. If you come with me, it might attract other people's attention."

Chunfeng knew that nothing she said would make a difference; it would only annoy her the madam. Besides, the madam had been trying to persuade her for a long time, and if she continued to speak, she would only cause trouble.

"Madam, you must be careful, you must be careful in everything. I will guard outside the Tian family's residence and will be there to help you immediately if anything happens."

"Okay, that's the right way to think. I can't not go. The Tian family is so important, I have to go and see them, even if I have to sneak in."

"Ok."

Du Mingxian didn't say anything more, but gently patted her hand as a way of comforting her. Similarly, she really had no patience to persuade Chunfeng anymore. If Chunfeng still tried to persuade her, she would really let Chunfeng go back to the Crown Prince's side on her own.

She doesn't need disobedient subordinates.

After the master and servant had discussed it, Du Mingxian told Chunfeng to rest. The two chatted for a few more minutes and then went to sleep.

The next day, Du Mingxian got up early to disguise herself. Chunfeng stood nervously by her side to serve her. Seeing that the madam was about to leave, she was so anxious that her eyes turned red. She managed to say only one sentence, "Madam must take good care of herself, otherwise I will definitely rush into the Tian family."

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of myself. Nothing will happen. Don't be so discouraged; it might not be a bad thing."
