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

The carriage drove into Jiangnan City. The streets were wide and clean, and the lights of the shops on both sides were already on. Many people were still lingering on the streets. A little further on, Li Mofu saw a stream and people were paddling boats on the water.

This place is also very prosperous, not much different from the streets of the capital. If I have to say what is missing, it is probably the wide and high walls of the imperial palace.

Zuo Zheng led them slowly to a quiet road with a stream on the right. After walking for a while, they stepped onto a bridge and arrived at the gate of the "Zhao Mansion".

"Get off!" Zuo Zheng stopped the horse and jumped off the carriage.

Li Mofu picked up the cat and took it out of the car. It was already dark. Zuo Zheng pushed open the door and led them to the backyard, muttering, "Old Madam Lu and Lu Nianhuan are also in the backyard. They should have eaten by now. Go shower and change clothes first. I'll call you when Zhao Xu comes back."

Because the mansion was small, they all stayed in one courtyard. Wang Ruiyan and Qiuxiang lived on the second floor, and the rest of the men lived on the first. Because Zuo Zheng had instructed them in advance, the two maids in the courtyard had already boiled hot water. Li Mofu dropped Daju and Xiaoque off and headed straight for the bathhouse.

"Sir, your new clothes are hung on the screen. Guozi is washing them next to you. Just call me when you need them." Just as Li Mofu was soaking in the water comfortably, Guozi's voice came from behind the screen.

Li Mofu hummed twice to show that he understood, then leaned against the wooden barrel and almost fell asleep. The long-awaited bath was so healing, as if all the hardships along the way were like the heat, which could be dissipated with a wave of the hand.

Finally, at Guozi's reminder, Li Mofu yawned, washed his hair and rubbed his body, then wiped his hair, tied it up, put on his clothes, walked out of the screen and continued to wipe his hair until it was almost dry. Then the two went back to the house.

Someone had already put food on the table in the room, and Li Mofu suddenly felt less sleepy. He sat down and ate with big mouthfuls. Only when he was about 70% full did he say, "Guozi, what do you think is happening outside now?"

"Well... I don't know. They should still be catching us." Guozi stopped eating and said.

Li Mofu chewed the meat in his mouth while looking out the window at the dark night, "I wonder how Lu Mingyun is doing."

"Maybe Mr. Zhao knows. Let's ask him when we see him later." Guozi said with a smile.

Li Mofu nodded.

After dinner, Guozi asked someone to clear the dishes, while Li Mofu had already fallen asleep on the bed. The two cats also took a nap on the chairs after eating the shredded meat, and they didn't even open their eyes even when Guozi stroked them up and down.

In this way, half asleep and half awake, Li Mofu forced himself to wait until Zhao Xu came back. It was already past midnight when Guozi woke Li Mofu up and said, "Master, Master Zhao is back. Let's go and see him."

Li Mofu repeated this sentence three times in his mind without being conscious, and then sat up straight. He really had to go see Zhao Xu. No matter what, he had to find out about the recent events in the capital and the border.

They have been spending these days in the mountains, with almost no contact with outsiders, and they can't receive any news at all, which is really worrying.

"Let's go!" Li Mofu said excitedly after putting on his shoes.

Guozi held up the lamp, and the two followed a maid to the front hall. Seeing Zhao Xu again, Li Mofu felt that he had changed a lot, and it made people reluctant to approach him.

"Li Mofu, why are you so dark!" Zhao Xu put down his teacup when he saw Li Mofu, raised his smile and shouted at Li Mofu.

The feeling of alienation vanished in an instant. Li Mofu rolled his eyes as he walked in and complained, "How can you not get dark if you travel under the scorching sun every day?"

"Hey, I heard that the Second Prince sent someone to pick you up? What took you so long? I sent someone to pick you up at the dock a month ago, but they didn't show up. Now Eleven and Nine are going up the river to look for you." Zhao Xu asked while pouring a cup of tea for Li Mofu.
