Chapter 43: Mu Chuang is Alive Again

    Chapter 43: Mu Chuang is Alive Again

    When he opened his eyes again, he saw a bed with embroidered curtains hanging around it. Two women with their hair in buns and wearing long skirts stood by the bed, figures only seen in historical dramas.

    The room’s furnishings were also antique, with carved windows and wooden walls. Only the sunlight streaming in through the window made him realize that he wasn’t dreaming.

    “Young master is awake, quickly go tell the master.” The slightly plump woman on the right instructed the slightly thin one on the left, then began to care for Mu Chuang.

    “Young master, you’re finally awake! You’ve been sleeping for a full eight hours since yesterday afternoon, the master and madam were worried to death.” As she spoke, she poured water for Mu Chuang and prepared to help him up to drink.

    Mu Chuang refused her approach. He slowly got up on his own, sat leaning against the bedpost, and continued to observe the room’s furnishings. Then, he pinched himself, and after feeling the pain, he began to suspiciously wonder if he had transmigrated.

    He shifted his gaze to the woman standing in front of him, noticing that her nose was a nose, her eyes were eyes, unlike the blurred scenes in a dream. He became even more certain that he had indeed transmigrated.

    Moreover, he realized that he had died in the other world. He really wanted to see what he looked like now.

    “My eyes feel a little uncomfortable, go get me a mirror.” He heard this woman call him “young master,” so she must be a maid he could order around. Thus, he naturally ordered her to do things.

    Upon hearing this, the maid put down the bowl of water in her hand and quickly turned to get a mirror.

    Soon, a smooth bronze mirror appeared before him. “Young master, please take a closer look.”

    The maid handed over the bronze mirror, letting him hold it himself to look.

    Mu Chuang took it, and immediately, a face exactly like his original one appeared in the bronze mirror. The difference was that he had long hair, which was disheveled, probably because he had just woken up. He, who was used to short hair, felt it was a little strange.

    “Do you know my name?” He suddenly asked the maid, not mentioning at all that he didn’t know who he was now.

    The maid was startled, almost kneeling. “Young master, even if this servant knew your name, I wouldn’t dare to call it directly. Your question really frightened this servant.”

    Seeing that she was frightened, Mu Chuang quickly gave her some leeway. “Speak, I won’t blame you.”

    The maid trembled, hesitatingly uttering two words: “Mu Fang.”

    “Mu Fang?” Mu Chuang frowned, silently repeating in his heart, “Mu Fang? Why is it Mu Fang?”

    Before he could think further, he saw the master and madam, whom the maid had mentioned, also come over. To his surprise, they looked exactly like his parents from the other world.

    “…!” A sense of longing suddenly rose in Mu Chuang’s heart. Since he could see his parents here, should Lin Xi also be in this place?

    With this thought, he suddenly became energized, and hurriedly wanted to get out of bed.

    “What are you doing? Not combing your hair, not washing your face, wanting to go out like this?” Seeing this, Master Mu spoke to stop him.

    Unexpectedly, three more women entered at this moment. The three faces that appeared were recognizable even if they were burned to ashes.

    “Fu Xiaoling? Liu Jingjing? Liang Ting?” Mu Chuang identified them one by one, suddenly feeling unhappy. “Why did they also transmigrate here? Does this mean I’ll run into these three turd-stirrers wherever I go?”

    However, when the three women saw him, their expressions showed no difference. Instead, they said in unison, “Husband, you’re finally awake. Yesterday, you got drunk, and we didn’t even have time to drink the nuptial wine.”

    Mu Chuang: ???

    What nuptial wine? Could it be that this original owner had just married these three women yesterday, and then got drunk at the wedding banquet, sleeping until now to wake up?

    Wait, marrying three at once? The original owner would actually marry three at once? Looks like his family’s well-off. I wonder what my dad does here?

    Mu Chuang had a lot of questions in his heart, but he didn’t dare to directly ask anyone clearly. But with his cleverness and wit, having watched so many historical dramas, he could handle this kind of scene.

    “What nuptial wine? It’s just taking a few concubines. Do you think you’re qualified to drink with me?” He was too clear about these ancient rules. A main wife couldn’t marry three at once. If marrying three, then they definitely weren’t the main wife. Concubines weren’t qualified to drink nuptial wine with their husband, so he dared to say that.

    Upon hearing this, the three women’s faces immediately turned pale. Who didn’t know that he hadn’t established a main wife yet? Could it be that none of the three of them were being considered?

    His manor currently only had one male concubine, who had been sold to him by his father. Originally bought to do chores, he hadn’t expected to be favored by him, directly brought into the backyard, and pampered every day to the point that even his father couldn’t stand it. That’s why he stubbornly advised him to take in three concubines.

    Unexpectedly, he hadn’t planned to establish any of them as the main wife, immediately disheartening the few women.

    “Are you really not planning to establish a main one?” At this time, Master Mu spoke up. “Turning around a man every day, aren’t you afraid of being embarrassed if word gets out?”

    Mu Chuang: ???

    What man? Who am I turning around every day? Wait, who is the original owner turning around every day? Could it be that the original owner is that kind of person?

    “No rush,” he hadn’t figured out too many things, and couldn’t make decisions casually yet. “I just woke up, my head is still dizzy. I’m hungry, is there anything to eat?”

    “Yes,” Master Mu replied. “Isn’t that why we came to call you for dinner? Hurry up and wash up, dress properly, and go over there. The whole family is waiting for you, how can you be embarrassed to dawdle here?”

    “The whole family?” Mu Chuang guessed again in his heart. In that world, his family only had his parents and himself. Could it be that he had other family members here?

    Indeed, there was a reason he was called Mu Fang here. Compared to that world, it was indeed a bit different.

    He dressed neatly with the maid’s help, while Master Mu and Madam had already gone to the dining hall first.

    As for the three women, Mu Chuang hadn’t spoken about establishing a main wife, so they weren’t qualified to enter the dining hall, all squatting in the side room.

    Taking advantage of this gap, he began to subtly inquire about things from the maid.

    “You said, why does my dad hate my male concubine so much?” He carefully chose his words, not revealing any flaws. “Is it because I’m usually too good to him, giving him treatment beyond what a male concubine should have?”

    The maid put down the comb and answered tactfully, “As long as young master likes it, it’s up to you how you treat him. The master is just saying it casually, but now that there are three side consorts, young master can’t sleep with him every day, lest you really anger the master.”

    Mu Chuang: !!!

    Sleeping together every day? This original owner is too…

    Forget it, thinking about it is depressing. What if I can’t control this body?

    Mu Chuang felt dizzy just thinking about it.
