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

"How dare you speak! Today is such an important occasion, and the Crown Prince is rarely here, yet you've upset him. If this gets out, who knows how others will laugh at us!" Marquis Wu'an's face was savage. Didn't he know that calling Li Mofu here was pointless? But he insisted because this matter today was serious. He wanted to let everyone kneeling here know that some things can't be let go just because you think they're unnecessary.

"We are partly at fault in this matter, but who could have imagined that the Crown Princess insisted on coming to the backyard." Lu Mingyun said as he looked at the candle not far away. The small flame would move from time to time, and it was a good little gadget to kill time.

Moreover, after the three of them sorted out the whole thing from beginning to end, it was obvious that the Crown Princess wanted to sneak in to look for something. Lu Mingyun vaguely felt that she was looking for Li Mofu, but it seemed that she was discovered before she even started looking.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingyun wanted to praise Daju for sneaking out. Although he didn't know what the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess were planning to do, it was definitely not a good thing.

Wu Anhou felt a bit heartbroken when he heard this. He closed his eyes, wiped his face with his hand and said, "I know you are secretly investigating some things in the palace, and I know you don't like it, but there are some things that you can't refuse just because you don't like it."

Lu Mingyun didn't expect Wu'an Hou to suddenly say this to them. He looked at him in surprise. Wu'an Hou continued, "Right now, the palace is in chaos and the situation in the capital is tense. But no matter what happens, we are only subjects. There are some things we must tolerate and pretend we don't know, but there are also some attitudes we must show."

"Don't be the first to stand out. You can't afford the price."

Marquis Wu'an sounded earnest, and the ancestral hall suddenly fell silent. About two minutes later, he began to scold again, "There are so many guests and so many people watching today. Although the prince came on behalf of others, it is also a great honor for the Marquisate. Lu Mingyun and Lu Fengning, you two should treat the prince well. As a result, I was gone for such a short while, and you let him go?"

"And Rui Yan, how come you didn't notice in time that the Crown Princess ran to the backyard? You even lied to her that it was a wild cat that scratched her. Do you think they can't investigate it themselves? If they find out, it will be troublesome!"

"And you! Why do you want a cat?! If you have nothing to do, why not read a book, write, and study!"

At the end, Marquis Wu'an sounded like a grumbling old man. It was hard to imagine that this was the demeanor a marquis should have. After all, in Li Mofu's impression, the emperor had to give some face to anyone who could become a marquis, and no marquis was easy to mess with.

Although the crown prince was likely to ascend the throne, he was still a junior, and moreover, an evil one who relied on witchcraft. In this matter, Marquis Wu'an could punish the juniors in his own mansion to give the crown prince face, but he shouldn't be afraid of the crown prince.

...Oh, that's not right.

Li Mofu quickly remembered something. At this critical juncture, Marquis Wu'an needed the prince's help to pull Duke Zhao out of prison, so no matter what happened at today's birthday banquet, it would be their fault.

"...Send the cat to the Crown Prince's Mansion tomorrow for the Crown Princess to deal with. Listen carefully, it must be the cat that scratched the Crown Princess!" Wu Anhou's words interrupted Li Mofu's thoughts.

Li Mofu knelt on the ground, his eyes slightly widened, and then without raising his head, he said, "Then take me to the Prince's Mansion together."

Wu Anhou paused, looking at the kneeling figure in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Li Mofu was still lying there with his face expressionless, but his voice was harsh, "I said I don't like it."

"You're not happy? What right do you have to be unhappy?!" Wu Anhou was so angry that he stood up and pointed at Li Mofu and cursed, "How can you, a slave who relies on the Marquis's mansion to survive, have the right to say you're not happy?"
