After being forced to travel through time by accident, I became famous in the entertainment industry

"Minsi is already thirty years old this year, and he has already become a mother twice."

Xu Zhao: “!!!”

I didn’t expect that at the age of 30, he was already a remarried man!

She looked at Wang Xingrui in disbelief, sizing him up and down. She sighed, "Such a wicked man can actually find two wives. A good family background must have been highly valued in ancient times!"

Xu Zhao spoke in a very low voice. Apart from Shen Yu, who had good hearing, no one else could hear it clearly.

Hearing Xu Zhao's words, Shen Yu chuckled and glanced at his nephew's face, which looked indeed like an enchantment.

Wang Xingrui's hair stood on end as he was being looked at by the two men as if they were commodities.

"Don't look at me like that!" To be honest, the expressions of these two people can be described as extremely weird.

"And then what?" The two marriages immediately aroused Xu Zhao's curiosity.

In this era, monogamy and polygamy were practiced. One could remarry only after divorcing his wife, or remarry after losing his wife at a young age.

No way! Xu Zhao seemed to have thought of a possibility.

"Then, my cousin is unlucky in marriage."

Ahhhhh! Wang Xingrui roared inwardly!

"Shen Wujue, you!"

"His first wife was the eldest daughter of the Minister of War. They were very loving, but unfortunately, she suffered injuries during childbirth and passed away within a few years."

It's a tragedy.

"Because she was a second wife, her family wasn't as prominent as her first. Her father was the daughter of the Dali Temple's assistant minister. The couple treated each other with respect, but unfortunately, she fell ill a few years later and passed away."

"Is it because his two wives passed away one after another that he got the reputation of being a wife-killer?" Xu Zhao was curious. Birth, old age, sickness and death are common things. Even if they happened to the same person one after another, it should have nothing to do with him.

The world is cruel to everyone. It ties the life and death of a couple together. If something happens to one of them, it means the other's fate is bad.

Thinking of the two wives who lived with him day and night, Wang Xingrui felt lonely. After the death of his first wife, he was sad for a long time.

Later, his parents found another girl for him. She treated him like her own daughter and took extra care of him. Gradually, he accepted his second new wife. He thought their family could live a happy life, but he didn't expect fate to come to him again.

"Three guests, your dishes are here!" The waiter dragged a tray with three dishes on it.

"Quail crystal sashimi, braised crab meat and steamed duck with fermented rice wine," the waiter placed the dishes on the tray one by one on the table. "Please wait a moment, my friends. The rest of the dishes will be served shortly."

The waiter's interruption and the arrival of the exquisite dishes made Wang Xingrui forget everything.

It has been so many years, he has let it go long ago, and only when he occasionally thinks of them will he show a bit of loneliness.

Shen Yu used the chopsticks that had not been used yet to cut the lion's head into two parts and put one half into Xu Zhao's bowl. "Try this."

He had eaten dishes cooked by the imperial chef before, and this stewed crab meat and lion's head dish was his and his mother's favorite dish when they were children. Now it was most appropriate to share it with the person he loved.

"Thank you."

Xu Zhao always ate as she pleased. Even half a lion's head was very big. She directly inserted her chopsticks into the lion's head, held the tail of the chopsticks, lifted it up and bit it directly, without caring at all that she was eating outside at the moment, nor did she care about Wang Xingrui, an outsider.

Wang Xingrui quietly leaned close to Shen Yu's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Uncle, the girl you like is really extraordinary!"

Nothing of their actions escaped Xu Zhao's eyes, but she didn't care.

Shen Yu pushed Wang Xingrui, who was standing very close to him, away and continued to talk to Xu Zhao, "That's not how he got his reputation as a wife-killer."

"Oh, where did that swelling come from?" Xu Zhao still had meat in his mouth and his speech was a little slurred.

Shen Yu was not at all soft-hearted when it came to exposing people's past. He was about to give up, but who would have thought that Wang Xingrui was so bold and spoke ill of Xu Zhao to his face, so he naturally did not hold back.

Wang Xingrui jumped up from the bench and wanted to cover Shen Yu's mouth, but before he could even lift his buttocks even a little bit, Shen Yu pressed his shoulders down.

"He was once on a business trip and was framed and had sex with an innocent girl."

Afraid of being misunderstood, Wang Xingrui immediately explained, "When I woke up, the first thing I did was promise the girl that I would marry her."

Even if he passed the imperial examination and had the possibility of becoming an important official in the future, he had lost two wives in succession, and the prominent families in the city were unwilling to marry their daughters to Wang Xingrui again.

After learning about their son's affairs, Wang's parents did not stop him. Instead, they privately investigated the girl's character. They did not require her to be well-educated, but only hoped that she could take good care of the children at home. After confirming that the girl was honest and kind, they immediately sent a matchmaker to propose marriage.

Since the third girl was mentioned, Xu Zhao probably guessed, "Could it be that girl also met with an accident?"

"Yes, that girl lost both her parents when she was young. After getting engaged, she left the city to pay her respects to her parents. On her way back, she was killed by a group of bandits."

Even the girl he was just engaged to died, so the label of being a wife-killer was firmly stuck on his head.

"Have you found out which gang of bandits are there?"

Wang Xingrui shook his head. At that time, there were only horse footprints left around the body. Her belongings had been looted and there was no other trace.

When bandits commit murder and robbery, they are very skilled and organized, and it is indeed difficult to find evidence.

Xu Zhao was very satisfied with the way he ate the melon.

The waiter brought another soup and two vegetarian dishes, which looked very good.

"Have you ever thought that this might not be a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster?"

"Man-made disaster?"

"That's right. Have you ever thought that the deaths of your two wives and that girl might not have been accidental?"

Wang Xingrui lowered his eyelids. "I used to think everything was too strange, and I investigated privately, but I didn't find anything, not even a suspect."

After so many years, he can only accept his fate.

"Didn't we wipe out a bandit on our way back? I guess there aren't many bandits in this area, and we seized quite a bit back then. Maybe we'll find some evidence."

What if they find out?

The bandits would take money to kill people, but in order to keep the buyers in check, they would sometimes leave evidence to drag the buyers into the crime. They were bandits who had killed countless people and did not abide by the principles of honesty in their dealings.

Xu Zhao didn't expect that the possibility she casually mentioned would be verified later.

"Since Minsi is my cousin, as his uncle, I naturally have to care about him. I'll ask someone to look for him when I get home tonight."

Xu Zhao enjoyed this meal very much. He ate melon and the dishes that satisfied him.
