Transmigrated to Another World and Doted on by Everyone!-Chapter 257: Extra: Ancient Times (Part 10)

Of course, Rong Xingyu had no idea that she also added embellishments like, "Madam really misses you," and "You should hurry and go keep Madam company."

But soon, Ding Yixin walked in.

He sat down beside Rong Xingyu and, before saying a single word, very consciously began massaging Rong Xingyu’s waist.

The pressure was just right and Rong Xingyu hummed comfortably.

Now their bodies were their own; only in front of outsiders would they change their faces and appearing as Mu Lin.

Watching the expression on Rong Xingyu’s face, Ding Yixin took the opportunity to apologize to him again.

"When did you realize you could use your energy?" Rong Xingyu asked, half-closing his eyes as he looked at Ding Yixin.

Ding Yixin placed a finger near his lips and coughed lightly, then honestly confessed, "On the day of the wedding, after I saw you. There wasn’t a chance to explain it in detail at the time."

Rong Xingyu gave a soft "mm," taking it as an acceptable answer. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Ding Yixin quickly struck while the iron was hot, offering various reassurances until Rong Xingyu finally relented.

He let out a sigh of relief in his heart, tonight he would finally not have to sleep in the study.

Without his soft and sweet wife in his arms, Ding Yixin had not been sleeping well these past few days.

The news that Madam had forgiven the general and that the two had reconciled soon spread through the residence once again.

Rong Xingyu had not expected that people in ancient times could be so gossipy; when he heard Xiaomei talking about it, he nearly sprayed out the tea in his mouth.

That night, however, as Rong Xingyu lay in Ding Yixin’s arms, he could not help asking, "Don’t you think the people in the residence are all quite nosy?"

Ding Yixin raised an eyebrow, looking as though he was ready to hear more.

Rong Xingyu smiled but did not continue the topic.

Yet he could feel the changes that had taken place in Ding Yixin.

He was no longer like that obsessive villain from before.

Rong Xingyu burrowed further into Ding Yixin’s embrace and the corners of his lips lifting into a smile.

Everyone in the residence knew that the General treasured the newly married wife he had brought home dearly.

If the Madam wanted to eat chestnut cakes from Peach Blossom Shop in the east of the city, the General would absolutely not allow anyone to go buy dragon beard candy from the west instead.

And the people in the General’s residence could be said to be extremely perceptive.

Who was the one truly in charge of the household was something they saw clearly, as obvious to them as a mirror in their hearts.

Even if they had to endure the General’s unfriendly gaze, these people still competed every day to curry favor in front of Rong Xingyu.

As for this, Rong Xingyu could only remark: sometimes being too popular was also a kind of trouble.

Rong Xingyu lived like a fish in water in this General’s residence, his days so comfortable that he could hardly be more pampered.

But life over at the Mu residence was far from pleasant.

First, there was the original body’s scumbag father, Mu Hong.

Mu Hong did not know why, but General Ding who had previously always been courteous toward him had suddenly changed his attitude recently.

Not only did the General glare at him during court sessions, even when they met in private, the General’s expression was extremely unpleasant.

At court Mu Hong could still understand after all, they now had an added layer of marital connection and their relationship was no longer ordinary, so it was natural to avoid suspicion in front of outsiders.

But when there were no others present, the General still treated him coldly.

Mu Hong could not help but begin to feel uneasy.

Could it be that Mu Lin’s identity had been exposed, which allowing the General to discover their scheme of deceiving the heavens?

Mu Hong slowly stroked his beard and muttered to himself, "No..."

Given the General’s personality, one that could not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes, if Mu Lin’s identity had truly been exposed, he would have long since carried a spear straight to the Prime Minister’s residence to demand answers.

But the people Mu Hong had originally sent to the General’s residence to keep watch on Mu Lin had all lost contact.

Whether they were dead or alive was unknown.

As for the current situation inside the General’s residence, Mu Hong had no clear understanding.

However, after turning the matter over in his mind again and again, Mu Hong still concluded that something must have gone wrong on Mu Lin’s side.

Just thinking of Mu Lin’s timid and submissive manner was enough to know that he would never be able to win General Rong’s favor.

"That unfilial brat is truly useless, he’s incapable of accomplishing anything, yet more than capable of ruining things."

Anger surged in Mu Hong’s chest as he hurled the teacup in his hand forcefully toward the ground.

With a sharp crack, the cup shattered into several pieces upon impact and the tea inside splashed everywhere.

Mu Hong’s face twisted in fury; there was none of the gentle and refined demeanor he usually displayed in front of outsiders.

One of the shards bounced directly toward the doorway.

Just then, someone happened to step in from outside and quickly sidestepped to avoid it.

Seeing Mu Hong in such a state, Mu Yao could not help but swallow her saliva nervously.

"Father..."

...

"Ah-choo—!" Rong Xingyu who was sitting in the pavilion with Ding Yixin suddenly sneezed.

Ding Yixin whose seated beside him, immediately reached out and took Rong Xingyu’s hand.

"Is it a bit cold?" Ding Yixin asked with concern.

Rong Xingyu shook his head.

"Maybe someone’s cursing me," Rong Xingyu replied with a grin.

Ding Yixin helplessly pinched Rong Xingyu’s hand, feeling that the temperature of his fingertips was normal and only then did he relax.
