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

Among these people was a woman wearing a gorgeous Su embroidered purple skirt, a soft white rabbit fur cloak, a golden hairpin on her head, and golden hairpins in her ears.

Although the guests were all dressed appropriately and she was not dressed excessively or conspicuously, she showed a disdainful expression from time to time, as if walking with them was a very cheap act.

After hearing Wang Ruiyan's question, Lu Baiyu looked back curiously, then frowned in confusion, "It's someone I've never seen before. It must be the upstart my father made friends with recently. I feel like that embroidered dress is very expensive."

"Really... no wonder the numbers don't match." Wang Ruiyan said in a low voice.

However, Wang Ruiyan did not have much time to be confused, because these female customers soon asked to go to another place to shop, and some cheerful peers also came over to talk to them.

A large group of people were talking and laughing as they walked towards the lake garden in front of the corridor. Wang Ruiyan led the group across the Nine-Curve Bridge with a smile on her face. She chatted gently with the young woman she was talking to, but her eyes were glancing at the back of the crowd.

The unknown woman disappeared at some point.

"......" Wang Ruiyan stopped suddenly, and her expression changed, scaring the young woman walking next to her.

"What's wrong with you?" The young woman also looked behind the crowd. "What happened?"

Wang Ruiyan didn't know how to describe how she felt right now, but her heart was fluttering, and she had a bad feeling that something was about to happen.

I don’t know if it was because Wang Ruiyan’s expression was too scary, but the other female guests were a little frightened and asked what was wrong.

Wang Ruiyan walked over to the crowd and, after confirming that the unknown woman was indeed gone, asked, "Why is the purple-dressed woman who was following at the back missing? It's autumn and winter now, and if she fell into the water, it would be no joke. Did anyone notice?"

The female guests looked at each other, and one of them, who was also walking behind, said, "I don't know. She was walking behind me just now, but she didn't fall into the water. We didn't hear any sound."

"Could it be that I took the wrong road? Falling into the water wouldn't be so silent."

"Yeah, there must be so many people around that no one noticed her. She must have taken the wrong road."

"By the way, does anyone know her? I don't think I've ever seen her before."

"Let's go look for it. It's not good to get lost in someone else's house..."

"I think I've seen her before, but I'm not sure."

The female guest could provide very little information. Wang Ruiyan frowned, feeling uneasy, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then said with a smile, "How about this, everyone follow Bai Yu to sit in the pavilion first. I'll go find this young lady and bring her over later."

After saying that, Wang Ruiyan looked at Lu Baiyu, who nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry."

Wang Ruiyan smiled at the other female guests again, then said a few polite words and left. After walking out of the Nine-Curve Bridge, she quickly went to the backyard.

Things have been going on one after another in the capital recently. The prince must have had a backup plan since he failed to make her into medicine. She had a premonition that something unexpected would happen on the old lady's birthday.

Was this woman simply lost? Or did she do it on purpose? Were they looking for someone similar to her?

If that's the case—in the Marquis' Mansion, there's only one person who can be said to be similar to her...

After watching the women talking and laughing as they walked towards the Nine-Curve Bridge, Xu Yueru deliberately slowed down her pace and quickly walked to the other side. She had looked at the map of the Marquis' Mansion and knew that this side could lead to the backyard.

After leaving the crowd, Xu Yueru was a little nervous. After all, this was her first time doing such a thing secretly. Fortunately, most of the servants in the Marquis' Mansion were busy in the front yard, and she didn't meet too many servants on the way, otherwise she would have to hide all the time.

After walking quickly for a while, Xu Yueru looked around and felt that it was about time, so she took out the compass and talisman paper that Zhao Yun had given her. She hid these things under her cloak. If it weren't for hiding them, she wouldn't like to wear this cloak.

“Da da da da”

Suddenly, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard, and Xu Yueru was startled. She grabbed something and quickly hid behind a nearby rock, her heart beating very fast.

Guozi came over quickly with some snacks in his hand. Xu Yueru took a look and moved behind a stone. Her attention was on the servant who was walking over, and she didn't notice that there was a fat orange cat hiding behind her.

"Meow!!"

Because Xu Yueru wasn't paying attention, she stepped on the orange cat's tail. The orange cat screamed in pain and jumped up. She was frightened by the thing that suddenly jumped out from behind her and screamed, "Ah ...

The orange cat was timid to begin with, and it jumped up just to run away. Xu Yueru's scream scared it so much that it peed its pants. In a panic, it scratched and kicked everywhere, kicking the compass out of Xu Yueru's hand, scratching her hand, and tearing the talisman paper.

For a moment, the scene was so chaotic that even the passing Guozi was stunned. Li Mofu, who was looking for a cat not far away, was startled and ran over.

"Damn cat!!!" Xu Yueru came back to her senses, her face flushed with anger. She stood up angrily and tried to step on Daju, but Daju quickly ran away. "If I catch you, I'll skin you alive!"

Guozi saw Daju running away and immediately understood something. He asked quietly, "...Miss, why are you here?"

Xu Yueru paused for a moment, but the guilty feeling quickly dissipated after she saw the tattered talisman. She gritted her teeth and said, "Catch that cat for me!"
