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

“So I just came here.”

Zhao Xu said helplessly with his hands spread out.

Lu Mingyun frowned in confusion, "Duke Zhao asked you to come? Why? What's going on? Is there something wrong in the capital?"

According to Zhao Xu, they spent at least two months playing here. What could have happened in the capital two months ago? He even asked the Duke to send Zhao Xu out of the capital.

But he must have heard something about the incident, how could he not know anything about it?

Zhao Xu took a deep breath and sighed. He frowned and wiped his mouth, looking puzzled. "How would I know what the old man was thinking? He just pushed me out suddenly. When he found me, he had already marked the way for me. He told me to go find gold and let him lead me to you."

Lu Mingyun was stunned. He felt that Duke Zhao would not be so bored as to let Zhao Xu come to see him alone. There must be some meaning behind this. "Didn't you feel anything strange before that?"

"I do find something strange," Zuo Zheng said at this time, "it's quite a coincidence. On the day Brother Zhao was kicked out of the house, my father also kicked me out. He told me to go to Su County to find you, and he said he didn't know how to find you, so he told me to go find Brother Zhao."

Zhao Xu nodded. "Yeah, we were both kicked out that day. When I saw him, I thought it was because we'd been hanging out together lately and annoyed our family, so we went home together to apologize and beg for forgiveness, but we were still kicked out in the end."

"......?" Lu Mingyun's entire train of thought was confused by the two people's words. "In other words, you two were suddenly kicked out of your homes and asked by your families to come to me for refuge?"

Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng nodded innocently.

Zuo Zheng still believed he was kicked out because he and Zhao Xu were fooling around. He pursed his lips and said, "We didn't visit brothels, cause trouble, or keep mistresses. At most, we just drank a little wine and watched a play, and occasionally went to the mountains outside the city to enjoy the scenery. How could we be kicked out?"

Lu Mingyun twitched his lips and looked at Zhao Xu, "Do you really have no idea what's going on?"

Zhao Xu was silent. Seeing this, Zuo Zheng realized that Zhao Xu knew about it, so he looked at Zhao Xu in confusion.

"Actually, I heard a piece of gossip before I was kicked out," Zhao Xu frowned and lowered his voice, "Someone in the mansion said that I'm not the old man's biological child!"

Lu Mingyun was stunned for a moment before he sneered, "So you think you were kicked out because you're not a biological child?"

"How is that possible!" Zuo Zheng said speechlessly, "If you weren't the Duke's biological son, you would have been skinned alive and thrown out to fend for yourself. How could he have given you enough money to come and find Jingxin?"

Lu Mingyun also meant this, "Think about it again, is there anything else strange happening in the mansion before you were kicked out?"

After all, the richer the family, the more they value bloodline. If someone really swaps bloodline, both the person who swaps it and the child will be punished, and in serious cases, they will be executed together.

Zhao Xu was worried. He sighed deeply. "At first, I thought my father sent me away for my safety because some official affairs had become serious. So after leaving the capital, I often inquired about what was happening there. The Duke's Mansion is so big, if something really happened, the news would be impossible to keep secret."

"But no!" Zhao Xu spread his hands again. He had many questions in his mind. "Nothing major happened in the capital, which means my idea was wrong."

"So I kept thinking about what would happen to get kicked out by my father, and finally I thought that the rumor was very likely."

"Didn't my biological mother die when I was born? Later, my father remarried and there were other children in the family. My brothers and sisters were all relatively sensible, obedient and excellent, but I was different. I was used to playing around and my family didn't care about me."

"But when I think about it carefully, it's really not right. I'm the eldest son, but my family doesn't care and lets me play around. My mother doesn't care because she has her own children, and my father doesn't care either, which is very abnormal."

"So I think my father may have known from a long time that I was not his child, or that he picked me up, and for some reason he insisted on raising me as his son."

Zuo Zheng blinked, "So why did the Duke pick up someone else's child and raise it as his own?"

This is the most abnormal point.

"Perhaps it's because my biological mother was as beautiful as a fairy and my father couldn't get her love, so after my biological mother passed away, he decided to raise me as his son, just like marrying my mother." Zhao Xu said it like singing an opera.

“…” Lu Mingyun was speechless.

"Could you please not speak of the Duke as being so worthless?" Zuo Zheng murmured.

Zhao Xu pursed his lips speechlessly, "Then I don't know why. This is the conclusion I've come to after thinking all this time."

Zuo Zheng said he was tired and ate some chicken from the maocai dish. "You'd better not think about it."

"Wow, you're talking about me. What about you? Have you figured out why your father kicked you out of the house?" Zhao Xu asked.

Zuo Zheng said as a matter of course, "It must be because I was fooling around with you."

“…” Zhao Xu.

Lu Mingyun felt overwhelmed after hearing this. "Forget it, since you're here, just stay a few more days. When you have time, write a letter home to find out when you can go back."

"It's okay not to go back. It's fun wherever you go." Zhao Xu said with some worry.

"Where should we live? Do you have room for us?" Zuo Zheng asked.

"It's not convenient for me," Lu Mingyun coughed, "You guys should stay in a hotel."

"Hey, do you have a new love here?" Zhao Xu immediately teased.
