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

Lu Mingyun went out that night and did not come back all night.

Li Mofu understood that Lu Mingyun must have gone to find Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng.

Most of what Wang Ruiyan knew were some rumors and what her father said to her casually. She didn't know everything about the matter herself, so her description was not detailed.

Lu Mingyun has his own intelligence network, and he definitely knows more information than Wang Ruiyan.

The next day, Li Mofu got up early to wait for Lu Mingyun, who had not returned home all night. He was extremely curious and wanted to know what was going on.

However, Lu Mingyun did not do as he wished, and Lu Mingyun did not come back that day.

"Where has your young master been fooling around?" Li Mofu was speechless. He had been waiting for a whole day and had folded seven or eight airplanes to play with cats, but he still didn't show up after dinner.

Guozi smiled bitterly, "The young master must be busy with something, he's definitely not going out to fool around."

"Oh." Li Mofu had no choice but to pat his butt and go take a shower. He would come back eventually anyway, so he could ask hello then.

The wait lasted until noon the next day, but not only Lu Mingyun came back, he also brought Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng with him. The faces of the three of them did not look very good.

Lu Mingyun ordered Nanny Liang and Mo Zhu to clean out two rooms for people to live in, and Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng would live in the yard from now on.

Li Mofu just watched them busying around. Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng looked very unhappy. After drinking their tea, they were not in the mood to play cards with Li Mofu. They said a few words and went upstairs to sleep.

After the hall was clear, Li Mofu approached Lu Mingyun, who was squinting with his forehead propped up. "Hey, is something wrong? What's wrong with you guys?"

Lu Mingyun, who had just woken up, was startled awake by Li Mofu's voice. He took a deep breath and reached out to hug Li Mofu's waist. "How did you know something happened?"

"You look like you're in trouble, right?" Li Mofu was pulled to a chair by him. "What happened?"

Lu Mingyun hugged the person and rubbed Li Mofu's face again, "Something big happened... I don't know if Wang Ruiyan told you secretly, but we have a lot to worry about next."

"Just say it." Li Mofu avoided Lu Mingyun's face with disgust. He even had stubble.

Lu Mingyun hugged the person and stood up, "Let's go back to the house and talk."

Back in the room, Lu Mingyun closed the doors and windows, then sat on the bed, patted the seat next to him and said, "Sit down."

"......" Li Mofu rolled his eyes. It was clearly his room, so why did he feel like a guest?

"Tell me what's going on?" Li Mofu sat down next to Lu Mingyun and asked.

Lu Mingyun closed his eyes and said, "A few months ago, there were rumors in the capital that Zhao Xu was His Majesty's illegitimate child. Now it's almost tacitly accepted, and His Majesty has not issued a public announcement to clarify it."

"The Duke of Zhao expelled Zhao Xu so early because he didn't want him to be implicated in the royal family's affairs. Now that the rumor is most likely originating from the Crown Prince, and since His Majesty hasn't denied it, it's likely that His Majesty is planning to recognize Zhao Xu as his successor."

"Ah?" Li Mofu was shocked. "Are you crazy? You didn't acknowledge me before, so why are you recognizing me now?"

Lu Mingyun licked his dry lips and said, "Who knows what His Majesty is thinking, but in recent years, the border countries have been restless, and His Majesty is old. I guess he wants to gather his descendants together for protection."

"......" Li Mofu didn't believe it. The matter of the emperor's illegitimate child was brought up right after the death of the King of Qi. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that someone wanted to kill Zhao Xu the same way they killed the King of Qi.

But what is this border unrest about?

"Is there going to be a war on the border?" Li Mofu asked.

Lu Mingyun shook his head. "I don't know. Those countries on the border are always causing trouble. It's just that they've been causing more trouble recently."

Li Mofu nodded, "So there's nothing going on in the capital right now?"

Lu Mingyun said, "Not yet, but the news that Zhao Xu is His Majesty's illegitimate son has been spread."

“......Oh......” Li Mofu nodded in understanding.

Lu Mingyun, not knowing what he was thinking about, covered his forehead and said, "I spent the whole day drinking with Zhao Xu yesterday. He couldn't accept it and was yelling at me."

Li Mofu leaned over to Lu Mingyun and sniffed him. He really smelled of alcohol. "Damn, why did you just sit on my bed?"

Lu Mingyun looked at Li Mofu speechlessly, then asked, "Do you dislike me?"

"What else?" Li Mofu said.

Lu Mingyun chuckled and pointed at the cat sleeping on the chaise longue. "Don't you think you dislike them?"

"That's different, they are cute." Li Mofu said confidently.

Lu Mingyun was so angry that he rolled his eyes and lay down directly, "I'm cute too, I'm going to sleep."

"......?" You're so cute. Li Mofu was embarrassed.

Zhao Xu and Zuo Zheng settled down in the yard. The reason why Lu Mingyun let them live in was very simple: he was afraid that someone would come with bad intentions to assassinate them.

After all, these two young masters didn't even bring any followers, just some clothes and money.

Zhao Xu had been acting a bit melancholy these days. He kept telling them that Su County was actually quite nice, and that he didn't want to go back to the capital. He got up early every day and muttered to himself in the yard, sometimes even talking to the cat, his voice so rustling that no one could understand.

Li Mofu felt that he was going crazy. This was definitely a sign of going crazy.

Lu Mingyun and Zuo Zheng had no way to persuade Zhao Xu about this. In addition, Lu Mingyun had to be on duty, so Zuo Zheng and Li Mofu often stayed in the yard and talked about other things to distract Zhao Xu's attention.

But if you put yourself in Zhao Xu's shoes, you will realize that he did collapse. His behavior was already very restrained.

Imagine you were once a lazy young man with no lofty ambitions. Your family was wealthy and powerful, and your parents doted on you. Suddenly, one day, your biological father, who had abandoned you, came looking for you, seemingly wanting you to return and join in some messy fight...

That's crazy.

But Zhao Xu's resistance was useless.

At the beginning of December, when everyone thought that the matter was over and had started preparing for Lu Mingyun's birthday, a letter from the court arrived.
