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

Wang Ruiyan pursed her lips and asked, "Is it really safe here in Jiangnan?"

"It's relatively safe," Zhao Xu explained, "because most of the forces here are from the Third Prince. They won't do anything that would benefit His Majesty, unless..."

"Unless someone wants to change sides." Wang Ruiyan continued softly.

Zhao Xu nodded, then gave a wry smile. "The remaining forces of the Third Prince have always wanted to put me on the throne. In their eyes, the merit of following the emperor is an obsession. In addition, the assassination of the Third Prince has made them hate Your Majesty. So they believe that Your Majesty's death is only a matter of time, and this country will definitely have a new leader."

"But I will take care of all that. You should rest here. It is definitely safer than other places. At least the officials here are not on good terms with His Majesty, so they won't arrest you easily. They will also help cover your whereabouts."

This statement did not make Wang Ruiyan feel safe. She frowned and asked, "What if His Majesty's men come to Jiangnan?"

"You'd better hide when the time comes. This is not the capital, and no one can search my mansion at will." Zhao Xu said with a serious expression.

Wang Ruiyan smiled and breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll trouble you."

"You're welcome." Zhao Xu said again.

Li Mofu ignored their politeness and interrupted them, asking, "So, can we not go out?"

"...It's best to go out less, especially Mrs. Lu." Zhao Xu said softly.

Li Mofu thought about it carefully, and finally nodded in agreement. It would be better not to go out than to get caught.

"You must be very tired after the journey. Go back and rest first. It's not too late to talk about anything else tomorrow." Zuo Zheng said while yawning.

In the end, the four of them didn't talk about anything else. They left the hall and returned to their own rooms, each with their own thoughts.

Li Mofu was indeed tired. He originally wanted to think about some problems by himself, but when he came back, he saw two cats sleeping soundly, which made him want to sleep too. So he lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and went to see Zhou Gong.

He slept so well, without any dreams all night. But in the early morning, Li Mofu opened his eyes. At that time, Guozi was still sleeping soundly on the couch. The two cats were awake, but they did not make a fuss to play with him. They just continued to lie there with their eyes closed.

It seems that everyone is exhausted from this escape, Li Mofu turned over and touched the two cats and thought.

It was still pitch black inside and outside the room. Li Mofu couldn't sleep and started to have random thoughts. He wondered what the dog emperor would do next, what was happening with Lu Mingyun, and what he should prepare just in case.

Of course, there would be no results or answers to these questions. The more you think about them, the more worried you will become. The same was true for Li Mofu. His head started to hurt as he thought about it, and then he yawned and fell asleep.

Because of his excessive worry, he had a dream this time.

In the dream, the Lu family failed in their attempt to defend the border and died on the battlefield. The new emperor had no choice but to "cede" a large area of ​​land in the northwest to the barbarians in exchange for peace. Without the protection of the Marquis of Wu'an, Wang Ruiyan was abducted by the new emperor. Li Mofu turned into a cat and gave chase, but soon his time was up and he turned back into a human and was captured by the new emperor.

Then Li Mofu was awakened by Daju.

The cat, weighing more than ten pounds, lay on Li Mofu's chest and looked into his eyes, then stretched out its claws and stepped on his face again.

"...What are you doing? Didn't I feed you the fruit?" Li Mofu weakly grabbed Daju's paw and squeezed it, because he was a little tired from the dream just now and didn't want to wake up.

Daju made a whimpering sound and then got out of bed. When Li Mofu got up to look, he saw Daju jumping out of the window by himself. He shouted with a headache, "Don't run around, this is not our home."

Not receiving a response from Daju, Li Mofu had no choice but to get up and put on his shoes, then went to the window to look for Daju. However, Daju and Xiaoque did not go far, but just lay under the window to bask in the sun.

"That's good." Li Mofu said with a smile.

Guozi, who had just gone out to buy something, came back. He heard the noise and knocked on the door and came in. "Master, are you awake? I just bought some rice dumplings. Would you like to have breakfast first or try some of them?"

Li Mofu immediately said excitedly, "Eat zongzi!"

After opening the doors and windows, Guozi hung the mosquito repellent sachets in front of the window, door, and bed. Then he made the bed, muttering, "Young Master, Guozi bought you three sets of clothes as Madam instructed. Why don't you try them on later?"

Li Mofu chewed a zongzi and said indifferently, "I won't change it. I'm sweating all over in the hot summer."

Guozi smiled and went to pour cold tea for Li Mofu, "Sir, what do you want to do later?"

"I want to fish. Can I fish here?" Li Mofu asked.

Guozi thought for a moment and said, "I see there's a pond in the garden. I'll go ask the person in charge of it later."

However, after eating the rice dumplings, the weather started to get hot, and the two cats ran back into the house to cool off. Li Mofu no longer had the heart to fish. He yawned and took the fruit to walk around the mansion.

Zhao Xu's mansion was small and not particularly elegant, with weeds and moss growing in some of the more remote areas. Li Mofu knew that the old lady and Lu Nianhuan also lived there, but he deliberately avoided them and headed elsewhere.

"Li Mofu!"

Suddenly someone waved and called him from the front. Li Mofu narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who is that?"

The midday sun was too glaring. Guozi squinted his eyes and could only see a figure the size of a grain of rice. "It seems to be Xiaoqi?"

"Li Mofu! Guozi!" Xiao Qi ran over when they ignored him. "Are you guys going to feed the donkey?"
