The Daily Life Of Mei Furen Doting On Her Husband - Chapter 109
Mei Zhuyu thought about the current situation expressionlessly—he had somehow ended up in his wife’s body, so conversely, his wife was most likely in his body. He was just working normally and hadn’t done anything extra, so the sudden change in his body might be because of something his wife did.
He looked at the two wooden figures in his hands again. He examined them carefully and found that they were carved by a novice. The carving was very casual, but from the general outline of their hair and clothes, he could tell they represented a man and a woman.
There was something strange about the two wooden figures, but he couldn’t figure it out for the time being. Mei Zhuyu made a mental note of that, put the two wooden figures away, and turned to walk out.
He took a step forward, tripped, and fell with a thud, hitting his chest against a wooden box. A pain instantly spread from his chest. He subconsciously reached out and rubbed his chest, and felt something soft. Mei Zhuyu silently let go of his hand, ignored the pain in his chest, and got up from the ground.
There were several boxes scattered on the ground, showing that Wu Zhen had been rummaging around here for a while. Mei Zhuyu put the boxes on a table and walked forward steadily.
It was not his body; his height, his weight, even the power flowing in his body was completely different. He couldn’t adapt for a while and felt that the world was lower than usual. Also, his chest felt heavy and uncomfortable.Â
Walking to the door step by step, Mei Zhuyu held the door and walked out. Trapped in Wu Zhen’s body, he felt inexplicably restrained. That was not his own body. If it got hurt, it would be his wife who would suffer. Just thinking about it made Mei Zhuyu feel as if he were holding a fragile treasure and walking through thorns. If he was not careful, it could cause irreversible and terrible consequences.
Wu Zhen usually came and went like a gust of wind, in a hurry, but Mei Zhuyu was different. He had always been steady and calm. Now, with a different body, he was even more cautious and deliberate, which made him seem slower. From Wu Zhen’s room to when he walked out of the Duke of Yu’s Mansion, the servants in the mansion who encountered him looked at his dignified walking posture and calm face with surprise.
The servants who didn’t know the truth were curious and wondered what was wrong with Wu Zhen. Why did she look so reserved?
The servants who knew about Pei Jiya’s disappearance sighed in their hearts. It seemed that Pei Liulang was in great danger. Otherwise, why would their second lady, who was always frivolous, have such a solemn expression and such heavy steps that made them feel uneasy?
But no one dared to say more. Everyone watched with surprise or worry as she left the Duke Yu’s Mansion and rode away on horseback.
Compared to Mei Zhuyu’s carefulness and prudence, Wu Zhen was much more casual. She stood up, put her hands behind her back, and walked around the room openly. Her husband was very tall, and the room she saw now was obviously no different from before, except for the change in height. It seemed a little unfamiliar.
She didn’t even finish walking around the room; she just dropped her work and ran out. It was impossible for her to sit there and process documents for her husband. Not to mention whether she could do it or not, encountering such an interesting situation, she certainly would not be so compliant.
Walking in the office of the Ministry of Justice, Wu Zhen realized how unpopular her husband was in the office. No one dared to come forward and greet him. Those officials who had been gathered together chatting and laughing stopped talking and fell silent when they saw him appear. They only resumed their conversation after he had passed by.
Wu Zhen walked past the group of people, then quickly hid behind a corner and started eavesdropping.
She didn’t know what the group had been talking about originally, but after seeing her pass by, they began talking about her—no, they began talking about her husband.
“Minister Mei is also a powerful figure. Minister Xu doesn’t get along with him. I assigned him several unsolved cases before, and he solved them all. Tsk, tsk, a mere Officer, but Minister Xu can’t do anything to him.”
Someone sneered, “What do you mean, he’s just an Office? He has a powerful wife. You’ve heard that story before.”
“Are you talking about Minister Cui’s incident?”
“Yes, I know that Minister Cui drank in private and insulted Minister Mei. He was almost drowned by Second Lady Wu. It was said that the scene was very scary. Now that he has offended her and her group of playboys, Minister Cui has divorced the Princess and lost his job. He is in a very bad state. With the previous experience, who dares to mess with Minister Mei now?”
While everyone was making fun of Minister Cui, they also mentioned Minister Mei in a subtle tone. Some people were disdainful, some were in awe, and some were jealous.
Her husband’s “ignorance” in the Ministry of Justice was also due to her. Although Wu Zhen didn’t think her husband would mind it, she still felt guilty. Her husband was really suffering.
However, since these people were too disdainful to care about him, it didn’t matter if she beat up those who spoke ill of her husband, since their relationship was not good anyway. And that Minister Xu, Wu Zhen vaguely remembered, had also caused trouble for her husband before they got married.
Well, she couldn’t come here for nothing, so she had to vent her husband’s anger first.
So, one day, Minister Xu was severely beaten by an unknown gangster. The gangster put a cloth bag over his head and punched him harder and harder, making him cry like a pig. After a long time, Minister Xu was found. Miraculously, he was not seriously injured, but his face was unrecognizable and swollen like a cured pig’s head.
When Minister Xu’s servants came to take him back, officials from the Ministry of Justice went to watch, and Wu Zhen was there, of course. She rubbed her fists, feeling extremely comfortable, and vented out all the frustration she had from being cheated by her cousin. Also, her husband was really strong, and she felt that she had only hit him lightly, but he was beaten like that.
Minister Xu left early due to injury, and Wu Zhen also felt that the Ministry of Justice was boring, so she left as well. However, she at least remembered that she was using her husband’s identity, so she asked for leave from her boss.
It was almost noon when Wu Zhen walked out of the palace gate and saw a figure leading a horse standing under a tree in the distance. It was her own body. When the person turned his head to look at her, Wu Zhen immediately realized that the person in that body was definitely her husband.
Wu Zhen ran towards him, picked him up, and laughed loudly.
That movement was very easy for her. Wu Zhen felt that her body was like a cloud that could be lifted up effortlessly. So she found it very interesting and did it twice.
Censor Liu was walking out of a palace gate when he saw two people hugging and embracing each other in public. He also recognized that the person hugging was Mei Zhuyu, whom he had always admired. His eyes twitched, and he turned around and walked away, feeling extremely distressed. What a good young man! But he was ruined by Wu Zhen. Now, all the rules are gone!
