Lu Baiyu shook his head violently, "I don't want to!"
"It's okay, just think about it slowly. When the time comes, everything will be clear." Wang Ruiyan comforted.
Lu Baiyu could only sigh and not talk about it anymore. She saw the cards on the table and asked curiously, "What are you playing?"
Li Mofu was a silent figure in the background, but when he heard her ask, his eyes immediately lit up and he said, "Do you want to play cards? One hundred coins a round, four players."
"Playing cards? Never seen it." Lu Baiyu said.
"It's okay, you'll get the hang of it after playing two rounds." Li Mofu tempted.
Finally, Lu Baiyu was tricked by Li Mofu into playing cards. Lu Mingyun and Lu Fengning took turns to play. Lu Baiyu was beaten badly but he was a weak player and he kept fighting after being defeated. Because there was an extra newbie with a lot of money, Li Mofu made a lot of money.
In mid-May, not long after Wang Ruiyan and Lu Fengning got married, the prince took a concubine. This woman was the daughter of the wealthy Qian family. However, she was not the youngest daughter who was favored by the Qian family, but a woman adopted from her maternal family.
When Li Mofu learned about this, he thought for a moment that his guess was wrong. After all, the prince chose an unpopular stepdaughter of a wealthy businessman this time. Could it be that the prince really liked Wang Ruiyan and not because the ghost immortal wanted to make medicine?
But it's also a good thing. If I marry her, to put it nicely, I'll be a concubine, but to put it bluntly, won't I still be a concubine? When the prince ascends the throne, she will still be a concubine in the harem.
It was not until August, less than three months after the Qian family girl got married, that news of her death suddenly spread.
According to the news, the woman died less than a month after her marriage, but the prince never let the news out. It seemed that he planned to wait until around January of next year to release the news on the grounds that the woman died of childbirth complications.
This rumor spread very quickly, almost spreading throughout the streets and alleys overnight. People in the capital were talking about it, and there were all kinds of conspiracy theories.
When Li Mofu learned the news, he was certain that it was most likely true. The way the news spread reminded him of the rumors he encountered in Su County. This was probably the work of the third prince again.
The rumor soon spread to the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion. After Wang Ruiyan found out, she went to Li Mofu and had a long talk, cursing the prince and the emperor. Her anger came from her fear. If she had not gotten engaged to Lu Fengning in time, she would definitely have become the prince's concubine.
However, the news was quickly "clarified" by the prince, and the government quickly arrested several people who were most active in spreading the news and locked them up. Gradually, no one dared to talk about this matter openly.
The emergence of this incident almost confirmed what the prince and the emperor had done behind the scenes, and Li Mofu became nervous again.
Lu Mingyun went to talk to Marquis Wu'an privately several times. He wanted to get some news about the palace from him, but Marquis Wu'an only had words for him in this regard: "Don't worry about it," "Don't investigate," and "Don't ask too many questions."
Wang Ruiyan often came to Li Mofu to persuade him and Lu Mingyun to return to the Marquis' Mansion. The situation in the capital was so turbulent recently that no jokes could be taken. It would be much safer under the protection of Marquis Wu'an.
But Li Mofu felt unsafe when he thought of Wu'an Hou's ghostly look as if he was bewitched by the ghost pill. He was afraid that Wu'an Hou would go crazy one day and sell his family out.
However, in September, Marquis Wu'an personally found Lu Mingyun and asked them to move back to the Marquis' Mansion. Lu Mingyun asked a few more questions, and Marquis Wu'an only gave him one reason: Your grandmother has been ill recently, and as the eldest son, you must go back to take care of her.
Lu Mingyun couldn't refuse for this reason alone, so he could only ask someone to pack up their things and take Li Mofu back to the Marquis' Mansion.
When Li Mofu returned to Jingxiangyuan again, he suddenly had an illusion. He felt that being trapped in Jingxiangyuan might be his fate. However, this illusion disappeared after Wang Ruiyan came to talk to him with some snacks.
However, after returning to the Marquis' Mansion, he could no longer go out casually like before. Although Guozi had the key to the corner gate, it was a long way from Jingxiangyuan to the corner gate, and he could meet anyone on the way.
The looks in those people's eyes might be curious, weird, or even contemptuous and disdainful. They always seemed to be able to tell who Li Mofu was and what his identity was at a glance.
In fact, it is normal if you think about it carefully. Who else but Li Mofu could be the man who dresses so well in the Marquis' Mansion but still sneaks around and takes shortcuts?
Even Li Mofu, who is as strong as iron, will have his mood of the day affected by the looks of these people. He goes out to relax and have fun. If he feels so depressed after going out, he might as well stay in the house and sleep.
Li Mofu stayed in the Marquis' Mansion for half a month and played with his cat for half a month. Later, Lu Mingyun felt that something was wrong with his cat's quietness and found out that the cat had not gone out for half a month.
"Will you go out with me tomorrow?" Lu Mingyun appeared behind Li Mofu coldly and blew on his neck.
Li Mofu was sitting on a small chair in the backyard playing with a cat. He didn't get annoyed when Lu Mingyun blew air on his neck. "You're not taking a break tomorrow, so why don't you go on duty with me?"
"Come out with me, then I'll go on duty and you can go and have fun." Lu Mingyun squatted next to Li Mofu and said.
Li Mofu thought for a moment and said, "I can't get up so early."
"How about letting Wang Ruiyan take you out to play tomorrow?" Lu Mingyun said again.
"it is good."
