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

Li Mofu just smiled, sniffed, grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to Guozi, then changed the subject to talk about other things in the mansion, "Is your young master out again today?"

"Yes, he went out early." Guozi took the melon seeds and said.

"Where is Marquis Wu'an? Is he still staying in the house and never going out?" Li Mofu asked again.

Guozi shook his head and said, "The Marquis was in a good mood today and went for a walk in Chunhe Garden."

"Is there anything else going on in the mansion?" Li Mofu asked.

Guozi thought for a moment and said, "Yes, the young lady is coming back today. It seems that she had a quarrel with her son-in-law. It just so happens that the Marquis has been recuperating from illness, so he came to visit."

"Oh..." Li Mofu pursed his lips. It was a headache because there was no new news every day.

After eating snacks, Li Mofu asked Wang Ruiyan to go fishing in the West Garden. Fishing is a very interesting activity to kill time, but Wang Ruiyan only accompanied him for a while and left after Lu Baiyu came back.

In the end, only Li Mofu and Guozi were left in the West Garden, sitting on small chairs and chatting. Feeling lonely with so few people around, they started telling ghost stories, and after they finished they didn't feel lonely anymore.

It was late in the afternoon and the warm colors of dusk were cast on the bamboo forest. Li Mofu yawned and put away his fishing rod. He caught some fish today but didn't dare to eat it, so he threw it back.

"Let's go, sir. We are going back too." Guozi said as he put away the chair.

Li Mofu took his chair and fishing rod and went back to the yard, still mumbling about what to have for dinner. Just as he stepped into the yard, Wang Ruiyan came running over.

"Li Mofu!" Wang Ruiyan started shouting when she was in the yard.

Li Mofu was in the room and was stunned when he heard her voice. Wang Ruiyan rarely called him in such a panic tone. "What's wrong?"

He asked as he walked out the door, and then saw Wang Ruiyan's anxious face.

"What's wrong?" Li Mofu asked hurriedly.

Wang Ruiyan pulled him into the side hall, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and then said, "I'm telling you, Bai Yu just brought news. There might really be a war."

Li Mofu was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and asked, "War? Where? Foreign enemy or internal strife?"

"They are foreign enemies on the border." Wang Ruiyan said with a frown.

Li Mofu breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that it was not a bad thing. With such turmoil on the border, there would be a war sooner or later, and it was a great thing that the country did not have civil unrest at this time.

"Bai Yu's father-in-law told us that the news was brought back by the Second Prince, and now the Second Prince plans to go to the border to guard it with Marquis Wu'an." Wang Ruiyan added.

Li Mofu sighed at Wang Ruiyan's worried expression, patted her shoulder and said comfortingly, "Haven't we thought about this before? It's very likely that Marquis Wu'an and the Lu brothers will leave together. It's within our expectations."

"...It's different, the last day of the dog days..." Wang Ruiyan pressed her brows with a headache, "I just found out these days that I'm pregnant."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and it froze Li Mofu. He stared at Wang Ruiyan with wide eyes, mumbling for a long time, "...What? Pregnant?! At this time?"

Wang Ruiyan pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, "The Marquis and Bai Yu said that after they are officially appointed, they will jointly request His Majesty to release us from the capital and reunite with the old lady in Jiangnan. But I...but I will definitely be a burden to you all along the way."

"..." Li Mofu swallowed and said after calming down, "It's okay, it's okay. You are at most two months pregnant now. It won't take long to get from the capital to Jiangnan. There's still time."

Wang Ruiyan said worriedly, "I haven't told Fengning about this yet. What should I do? Just hearing the news of the war makes me so upset. I'm so scared they'll never come back. What will we do then? What about the child?"

"...No, it's just that your moods are fluctuating a lot during pregnancy, and you're a little flustered due to anxiety and mental stress. It's not the first time that Marquis Wu'an has gone to the border to guard it, he has experience, and Lu Mingyun and Lu Fengning are not fools either, they will be fine." Li Mofu was scared by what Wang Ruiyan said, but he still bit the bullet and comforted her.
