Although he was sure that he would not do anything, what should he do if an old couple were lying in the same bed and the wife touched him randomly?
If he didn't respond, it would easily arouse suspicion. But if he responded, Zhang Mu couldn't get over it in his heart.
Soran smiled and said that the city lord liked women, and it was impossible for you to perfectly replace the city lord and sleep alone.
I also told him that he could go to the second wife's bedroom to rest at night.
The second wife has a gentle personality, and is silent and honest by nature. As long as Zhang Mu lies down and goes to sleep, she won't say much or do anything more.
After saying that, he turned and left.
Zhang Mu was the only one sitting alone in the study for a long time. As it was almost dawn, he got up and slowly walked towards the second wife's room.
Chapter 135 The City Lord is Reminiscing
Zhang Mu walked slowly along the corridor, recalling in his mind the detailed information about the Second Madam that Soran had told him.
The current first lady of the City Lord’s Mansion is not the City Lord’s first wife.
The original wife, who gave birth to a great son, died in an accident many years ago. The current first wife succeeded in taking the position only after that.
The second wife is the cousin of the current first wife, and she was introduced by her to marry into the City Lord's Mansion.
The second lady was not a professional, but was chosen by the city lord because of her good looks, graceful temperament, and gentle personality.
But after marrying her, the city lord often complained to Soran about her dull temperament while handling official business in the study, and he rarely went to her bedroom to rest.
He intended to kick her out of the house, but was persuaded by Sauron to "save the current lady's face" and gave up the idea.
Therefore, Sauron suggested that Zhang Mu should stay in the second lady's room in the future, because she knew very little about the city lord and would not easily notice Zhang Mu's abnormality.
If it were the other two ladies, after all, they had been living together day and night for decades, and even if Zhang Mu disguised himself as well, it would be easy for him to be exposed.
As for why he suddenly "favored" the second wife who he had not spoken to for a long time.
Soran said that he would explain this to the other people in the City Lord's Mansion. The City Lord learned about the funeral, and only the Second Lady raised objections and requested that guards be sent to the Quiet Forest for search and rescue.
Although the proposal was mostly made by ordinary guards and it sounded ridiculous to rescue the city lord who had gone deep into the Silent Forest, the city lord was very happy.
In this way, the change of the "city lord" has a reasonable explanation.
While thinking, he stopped in front of a wooden door in the backyard.
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Mu turned his robe into silk pajamas, and then without knocking on the door, he raised his hand and pushed it open - this was what Soran had emphasized. There were only three ladies living in the backyard, and the "city lord" should not knock on the door when entering anyone's room.
"crunch-"
"who!"
As soon as the door was opened a finger-thin gap, a panicked scream was heard.
Zhang Mu walked into the room in silence, only to see the Second Madam standing at the end of the bed, seemingly preparing to change into pajamas and go to bed. At this moment, her dress was half-off, and she turned around in a hurry, holding her half-exposed body.
Perhaps he didn't dare to think that the city lord would come to his room.
When he saw that it was the city lord in front of the door, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly put his hands from his chest to his lower abdomen, bowed slightly and saluted: "Lord City Lord."
But once they were put down, the clothes that were already hanging loosely on the ball could no longer stay on.
The dress fell to her waist, and most of her long brown hair was draped behind her, with the remaining slightly messy hair sticking to the curve of her chest. Her fair skin was exposed to the air, and under the soft light emitted by the magic crystal, it was a bit dazzling.
Zhang Mu's gaze unconsciously moved down from the smooth shoulders, and he forced himself to stop at the delicate collarbone.
Fortunately, the second wife lowered her head and did not notice his abnormal behavior.
"kindness."
After all, he was a healthy young man. Zhang Mu calmed down his rising blood and said, "You are tired. Take a rest."
After saying that, he walked straight to the bed, lifted the thin quilt and lay down.
Zhang Mu closed his eyes and planned to fall asleep directly when he heard the rustling of fabrics at the end of the bed.
Then the quilt moved slightly, almost imperceptibly, and the bed sank slightly.
When I got into the bed shared by two people, the temperature rose significantly.
Resisting the instinct to move to the side, Zhang Mu tried to use his mental power to block out perception.
Before he could put his thoughts into action, the second lady lying next to him suddenly said, "Lord City Lord, are you asleep?"
Didn't sleep.
Just as I was about to say this, I suddenly remembered that it was not in line with the city lord's character.
After thinking for a few seconds, he said calmly, "What's the matter?"
"The adventure group that returned to Gul City from the Silent Forest said that you were attacked by a monster. The eldest and young ladies were worried for a long time, so please don't punish them for the funeral."
After a long while without hearing Zhang Mu's reply, she asked in a low voice: "Lord City Lord, you..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand as if trying to shake him.
Zhang Mu, who was thinking about how to answer, suddenly realized something and thought, this is different from what Sauron said?
But you can't let her touch your body, because Transfiguration is about creating illusions, not changing the body structure.
There was a huge difference in body shape between the city lord and me, and she would definitely notice something was wrong as soon as she touched me.
"I know, go to sleep."
The second wife stopped moving and did not speak again. Her breathing gradually became steady and long.
Zhang Mu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, but he didn't plan to sleep either.
If she woke up first and touched him randomly, it would be troublesome. In this way, Zhang Mu was half asleep and half awake all night, worried.
As soon as the sun came out, I quickly got up and rushed to the study.
Soran was already standing in front of the desk waiting for him.
When he saw someone coming, he immediately told him that he was following his orders and finding the people who helped the "city lord" escape.
Zhang Mu was stunned for a moment before he realized that it was a reason for Domit to enter the mansion.
Then he stood up and planned to go out of the city to find Domit. Before leaving, he asked Second Lady Soran why what she said was a little different from what he said.
He was told that, after all, she was the city lord's wife, and he couldn't have a close conversation with her. All the information he had was heard from the city lord.
After reassuring him, the second lady even found the city lord's tone unfamiliar, so there was no need to worry about being exposed.
Hearing this, Zhang Mu felt relieved. He used the shadow technique to leave the city, brought Domit back to the city lord's mansion, and asked Soran to find a room for him to stay.
Domit travels around the Kingdom of Lake all year round, and almost no one in Gul City knows him.
In addition, there is a great risk of exposure when Transfiguration comes into physical contact with others, so Zhang Mu did not give him an illusion.
After receiving the order, the two left the study one after the other.
Zhang Mu sat alone behind his desk, frowning as he pondered over supplies.
It would definitely be too late to raise funds in another world. Besides, several nearby cities were hit by disasters, so there was no place to allocate funds.
We have to go back to Blue Star and find a solution.
Zhang Mu stood up and was about to summon the portal.
"咚咚-"
kindness?
There was a knock on the study door and Zhang Mu looked over in confusion.
Sauron had asked the city lord's family not to disturb him in the near future, so who would come at this time?
"Come in." Zhang Mu sat back in the chair.
"Lord City Lord." It was the Second Lady who pushed the door open.
Zhang Mu looked her up and down with a look of surprise in his eyes.
At this moment, she was wearing a slim-fitting white gauze dress. The delicate fabric adhered to both sides of her chest and was shrinking inward.
Just past the waist, it opens up abruptly, highlighting the beautiful curve of the waist and hips.
The long brown hair that was loose last night was now tied up behind her head, with a few strands of hair deliberately left hanging down on the right side of her temple.
The outfit brings out the wifely temperament to the fullest.
After taking a look, Zhang Mu's eyes fell on the pile of clothes she was holding with both hands raised. He looked at the clothes that looked a bit old and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"The Lord City Lord rested at my place yesterday. I thought you might be reminiscing about the past..."
So you just brought all of the City Lord's old clothes?
Zhang Mu had a strange look on his face. She looked up and saw it, and quickly said, "They are all clean."
"Put it there." He pointed to the wooden cabinet on the left.
After putting her clothes away, she bowed slightly, turned around and walked out of the house, closing the door behind her.
"Why are you here?"
Just a few seconds after the door closed, a questioning voice suddenly came from outside the room. From the voice, it sounded like the city lord's young wife.
Zhang Mu, who summoned the portal, twitched his lips.
Sure enough, the more people there are, the more troubles there are.
Sighing, Zhang Mu used his mental power to look over. It would not do to just let them quarrel there. If they continued to quarrel, they would definitely rush into the study.
While eavesdropping on the two people arguing, he was thinking that he had to drive away all the people who could be driven away.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have to deal with the affairs of the "world" and would just be busy solving the city lord's household affairs.
Chapter 136 Things are going on in an orderly manner
The young lady standing in the corridor outside the study was dressed in a cute girlish outfit and had a lovely bun hairstyle.
But her gloomy face seriously destroyed the girlish charm.
Faced with her questioning, the second wife was a little confused: "This is the city lord's study. Of course I came here to see the city lord."
"Mr. Soran told us yesterday that my dear is in a bad mood and we should not disturb her unless it's important!"
