Transmigrating into a Man's Wife: I Share the Pain with the Male Protagonist

As soon as they entered the house, Zhao Xu asked his guards to stay outside, and Lu Mingyun also asked Mo Zhu to prepare tea and snacks.

"Please sit down." Lu Mingyun said with a smile.

Zhao Xu walked in front and sat down. "You should sit down too. Let's talk."

After Lu Mingyun invited Zhao Xu to sit down, he also sat down. He smiled and asked, "What good news is there? Tell me about it."

"It's not a big deal, I just thought it would be useful to you." Zhao Xu said as he took out a blueprint from his sleeve.

At this time, Mo Zhu came in with tea and snacks. He frowned and served tea to Zhao Xu and Lu Mingyun, and then brought the snacks to the table.

After Mo Zhu left and closed the door, Zhao Xu immediately spread out the blueprints and said, "It is said that the owner of Xinyue Building on Jingxi Street is quitting and wants to sell the building."

"Didn't you say a few days ago that you were short of money? Although this restaurant requires a large investment, the location is great, and the income in the future will definitely be considerable!"

"It's just perfect. Didn't the gold come back from Jiangnan? Give him the restaurant to mess around with. He'll definitely make you a fortune!"

Lu Mingyun raised his eyebrows in surprise. "The owner of Xinyue Tower is a businessman on the surface, but isn't he the Xinguo Mansion behind it? Why did he sell it out all of a sudden?"

"It's said that they sold it because of poor management, as keeping it would only be a waste of money." Zhao Xu shrugged. "But that's just an excuse. The specific reason can only be guessed."

Lu Mingyun frowned slightly and took the drawing to look at it.

The drawing shows the layout of the Crescent Building, which has three floors in total. The third floor is the main room, the second floor is the private room, and the first floor is the lobby.

Although he was moved, Lu Mingyun was still confused.

"Have you heard of Duke Xin's son, Qin Shan? He might have spent money! And it is said that he likes gambling. Although he doesn't gamble outside, he often invites friends to his house to gamble." Zhao Xu curled his lips and began to gossip.

"This silver is useless in his hands!"

"Every morning when he got up, he would go to Wangyue Tower to eat, then go to Fengyue Tower to play with the singing girls, and in the evening he would go to Chunyi Tower to look for women."

"After satisfying his lust for alcohol and sex, he would go home and gamble with a group of 'like-minded' friends, and they would argue until the middle of the night every day."

"Duke Xin has only one son. It would be a waste to raise him like this."

"This Xinyue Tower was the dowry brought by the Crown Prince's Consort Chen. Business was good in the past few years, but it has been declining in the past two years."

"It is said that Chen has been ill for the past two years and therefore has no time to manage the restaurant."

"Selling now is partly because of losses, and partly because the family is probably out of money."

Lu Mingyun was even more moved, but he still said cautiously, "I need to think about this matter carefully. Tomorrow when Lin returns to her parents' home, I will go to Xinyue Tower to take a look."

"Okay!" Zhao Xu knew his character.

Lu Mingyun took a sip of tea and joked, "You gave me such a good business?"

"Well, you know, I'm not short of money!" Zhao Xu said this proudly. "Originally, I wanted to take it myself, but you said you were short of money recently, so I gave it to you."

Lu Mingyun patted his arm, "Good brother!"

"By the way, I heard that you are going to have a bastard son?" Zhao Xu asked with a teasing smile.

Lu Mingyun's smiling face froze. "Where did you get this information?"

"...This, this feeling has spread to every street and alley!" said Zhao Xu.

Lu Mingyun held his forehead speechlessly. This must be news released by Lin again, or maybe she said it herself.

As for why this news was leaked...

Perhaps he was also afraid that Lu Mingyun would marry a wife with a strong family background.

Now that the news of him having a bastard son has spread, better families will no longer consider marrying their legitimate daughters to Lu Mingyun.

but.

This incident not only hurt his reputation, but also the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion.

Even if he didn't take action, his father would punish Lin.

Is Lin getting anxious recently?

Lu Mingyun thought about it and stopped worrying, "Yes, Bai Wanting is pregnant."

"Is it the woman that Lin persuaded you to marry?" Zhao Xu rolled his eyes and thought for a moment.

"It's her." Lu Mingyun nodded.

"You still keep her?" Zhao Xu was surprised.

Lu Mingyun sneered, "I was originally thinking of getting rid of it, but I happened to get pregnant at this time, so it's just the right time to give birth."

It also saves him from having to make up a way to die.

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and quickly understood what Lu Mingyun meant.

The day Bai Wanting gave birth to a child was the day of her death.

"So what are you going to do with this news?" Zhao Xu was also thirsty and raised his hand to drink tea.

"That's it, it's true." Lu Mingyun said this, but in fact he had no intention of getting married.

He got a headache whenever he thought of Li Mofu who lived next door. Li Mofu was no longer the same as before. Li Mofu's willpower and fighting ability were not enough to play with those girls from aristocratic families.

Lu Mingyun didn't want Li Mofu to take him to see the King of Hell while he was studying in the Imperial College.

It's not worth it to marry a wife and take your life away.

Because he knew very well that no girl from aristocratic family could tolerate Li Mofu as a "male wife".

Especially with Li Mofu's personality, he would burn himself if things didn't go his way.

"You want to be so happy?" Zhao Xu laughed twice, then put down half of the remaining tea and said, "Let's go and see the scenery."

Lu Mingyun took him outside. From here, one could see many places and the scenery was very beautiful.

As they walked, Zhao Xu suddenly pointed to a place and asked, "When did people start living next door to you?"

"..." Lu Mingyun was slightly stunned, and when he turned his head, he saw Li Mo lying in the middle of the yard basking in the sun.

Li Mofu was lying on the rocking chair, with his shoes off. He was wearing a dark blue robe with a white lining and pants, and his pants and socks were tied with silk ropes.

His face was covered with a book, leaving only his mouth exposed. At this moment, he was shaking his legs up and down, and from time to time he reached out to eat some preserved green plums.

"That's..." Lu Mingyun didn't know how to introduce Li Mofu for a moment.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Xu's eyes suddenly widened, and then he lowered his voice and said, "Could this be the male wife you heard about?"

“…Yes.” Lu Mingyun admitted it.

"Hey, can you tell me why you married a man? You don't really like him?" Zhao Xu blinked his curious and inquiring eyes.

Lu Mingyun frowned, thought for a moment, and sighed, "I can't tell you the reason. I don't like men either, but he is very important to me."

"...Oh..." After hearing this, Zhao Xu looked him up and down, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay, it's time for you to go home!" Lu Mingyun felt a little embarrassed. He put his arm around Zhao Xu's shoulders and took him downstairs.

====

Li Mofu was lying in the yard next door and knew nothing. He only knew that the sunlight that came out after the snow was slightly warm, neither glaring nor too warm.

"Do you have any more braised chicken legs?" Li Mofu asked as soon as he saw Guozi walking over.

"Young master, I'll have someone prepare dinner." Guozi responded while taking the collected clothes into the bedroom.

Li Mofu withdrew his head in disappointment.

Green plum preserves are sweet and sour, delicious, but eating too much will make you feel greedy.

Mo Yi was helping to sweep the roof in the yard, and Guozi was busy with his own things. He was the only one who couldn't concentrate on reading and had nothing to do.

"How boring!" Li Mofu shouted.

“…” I just want to ignore the fallen fruit.

"..." Mo Yi had already ignored him.

After shouting, Li Mofu stretched, pulled the blanket under his butt and went to sleep.

Waking up to have braised chicken legs to eat is the only hope in life.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Marquis Wu'an accompanied Lin back to her parents' home, and Lu Mingyun also ran out to fool around.

Li Mofu got his snack and ate it while lying in the study reading a book.

This time the dim sum actually tastes like crab roe!

It seems that Lu Mingyun has done something wrong!

He thought this in his mind, but his hands did not stop eating.

In the afternoon, there were guests in the yard again.

This time it was not Hongdou, but the maid beside Lu Baiyu, but it was not Jinju.

Moreover, the maid actually brought several new books and picture albums, saying that they were Lu Baiyu's apology.

She also said that the last incident was her fault, and that after she finished copying the scriptures for her grandmother, she would come and apologize to Li Mofu in person when she had the chance.

That really shocked Li Mofu and made him drop his jaw.

After Lu Baiyu's maid left, Li Mofu immediately asked, "Is she planning to kill me?"

"...No way. Although the Second Young Lady is impatient and irritable, she has never beaten a servant to death. She is kind-hearted." Guozi frowned and said softly.

He said so, but he was also surprised by the change in Lu Baiyu's attitude.

Li Mofu took the book and shook it, "Is there any talisman paper with a villain hidden in it?"

He remembered that the witchcraft in those palace fighting dramas was a serious crime!

Guozi was embarrassed. "No one would be so bold. Besides, this book was sent by the second-class maidservant beside the Second Miss. If it really is related to the Second Miss, then it must be related to her."

"Oh..." Li Mofu didn't shake out anything, so he opened it and took a look.

It’s a storybook, but the content is a little different from the previous ones. This time the protagonist is actually a woman!

Li Mofu's eyes lit up. This familiar feeling, could it be the palace fighting and house fighting stories he often read?

"Interesting~"

Li Mofu grabbed the storybook and ran to the study.

"...Young Master?" Guozi was curious about what he saw, thought about it, and followed him.

From that day on, Li Mofu started reading novels.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he thought about reading novels. Except for eating, drinking, defecating and urinating, he thought about novels all the time.

At night, Guozi had to ask Mo Yi to take the storybook away to stop him from staying up late.

I read it for five days and finished reading the whole story.

"You've finished reading three such thick books?" Li Mofu couldn't believe it. He flipped through the book again to make sure he had read every page.

The contents of these three books are rather old-fashioned for Li Mofu.

But it is also many times better than those I have seen before!

The main story is that the heroine was born in a village and had a humble family background, but she was pretty, hardworking and capable.

One day she went up the mountain to collect herbs and saved a man, and then this man's identity was not simple, blah blah.

The three books follow a similar pattern, even the heroines have similar personalities, but the heroines in these three books are portrayed in great detail and have completely different personalities.

Li Mofu could tell that these were written by the same author, but he didn't quite understand why the author wrote three books using the same routine. Was it to highlight the differences in the male protagonists?
