When Su Man returned, Ao Xi had disappeared.
She looked at the bedding on the bed and decided to get a new one. After all, it was her husband taking a concubine, so she had to treat it with respect. After searching the cabinet for a long time but couldn't find it, she went to ask Wei Ma.
When Wei Ma heard that Su Man wanted to find a new quilt, she was confused. "Is the old one not warm enough? I made the new one."
"No, Ma'am Wei, it's a happy occasion for the village chief to take a concubine, so it's not appropriate to use an old quilt. That's why I asked if you have a new one."
"What? The village chief really wants to take a concubine?" Wei Ma was shocked.
At that time, she heard from Cui Niang that Ao Xi had brought back the sister of the Xia family, and she thought that the village chief must have his own considerations. She didn't expect that he actually wanted to take a concubine.
When Wei Ma was petrified, Su Man looked around and asked, "Wei Ma, where are the new bedding?"
"Wait a minute."
Wei Ma took Su Man's hand and sat down, tentatively asking, "Madam, are you telling the truth? Did the village chief himself say he wanted to take a concubine?"
Su Man nodded, "Yes, the village chief was afraid that my sister would not agree, so he asked me to persuade her. They will have their wedding night tonight."
“That’s outrageous!”
Wei Ma slammed the table, and the pots and pans on it shook three times.
Su Man was a little surprised. She didn't expect Wei Ma to react so strongly.
However, what surprised her even more was yet to come. Wei Ma actually wanted to drag her to find Ao Xi to argue.
Su Man was dragged along for quite a while before she realized what was happening and stopped them, "Madam Wei, wait a minute!"
Wei Ma didn't know where she got the strength from, but no matter how hard she pulled Su Man, she couldn't pull her away.
"Madam, don't worry. With an old woman like me here, no one can make trouble!"
In this way, Su Man was dragged all the way to the martial arts training ground by Wei Ma.
Although it was already late, with the enemy at the gates, everyone spontaneously began to train.
Ao Xi, who was at the front, held a red tasseled spear in his hand. The moment he thrust out, his eyes were like torches, his muscles were stretched, his waist and back were tensed, and his momentum was like a broken bamboo.
However...
"Chief! Come here!"
Wei Ma's loud voice echoed throughout the entire martial arts training ground. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of Wei Ma and Su Man.
In the center of my gaze, Su Man held her forehead with one hand and said, "You can't see me, you can't see me."
Ao Xi threw the red tassel spear aside, tapped his toes, and appeared in front of Su Man in a few moves.
"What's wrong, Wei Ma?"
Although he was the leader of the village, he still felt a little guilty when facing the powerful Wei Ma. He kept looking behind him, hoping that Wei Ma would give him some face.
Wei Ma, whose anger was at its peak, remained unmoved. She pinched her waist and pointed at Ao Xi, "I heard that the village chief wanted to take a concubine, and I, an old woman, came to celebrate!"
Ao Xi smiled awkwardly, "Well, let's talk about this little thing when we get back. I'm still training the troops here, I..."
"It's a small matter? Asking your newly married wife to help you persuade your own sister to spend the wedding night with you, is this a small matter?"
Wei Ma didn't control the volume, or rather, she deliberately raised her voice so that her roar could be heard throughout the training ground.
The brothers listened with great interest, laughing secretly with glee.
Although Wei Ma was usually kind and gentle, and treated these gentlemen like her own sons, when she got angry, she was so fierce that not only them, but even Ao Xi had to obey her orders.
Wei Ma clearly didn't give Ao Xi face, so Ao Xi could only look at Su Man for help, and said flatteringly, "Madam, I was just joking with you. Please help me persuade Wei Ma to go back."
Su Man was surprised. "A joke? But what the village chief said this afternoon was very detailed. It doesn't seem like a joke."
Wei's mother also joined in, "Huh, what a joke! I think you are the one joking now."
"How dare I?" Ao Xi said with an apologetic smile. "My wife is enough for me. My lady is very generous. Please don't bother with me. I apologize to her here."
Ao Xi also completely disregarded his face. He clasped his hands together and bowed.
Su Man quickly returned the greeting, "Master, this is truly humiliating to me. I cannot bear it."
Unexpectedly, she was halfway through her blessing when Wei Ma grabbed her arm and pulled her up. "What's so unbearable about you? You're a young lady from a good family, and you've been brought here without any complaints. But he's so ignorant of how to treat people. If I let your sister in today, I'm afraid the next one will be my mother-in-law!"
"puff..."
There was a lot of suppressed laughter all around. Ao Xi was always eloquent, but now he couldn't utter a word and could only listen to the scolding.
Seeing Ao Xi hanging his head, Su Man sighed silently, there really is always something that can defeat something else.
...
Just as the commotion was going on, Yuan's military advisor came hurriedly from outside.
"Chief, Fang Junye is attacking."
"Really!"
Ao Xi, eager to escape, grabbed Military Advisor Yuan's hand, his eyes shining, which stunned Military Advisor Yuan.
What's wrong with you? You're so happy to be beaten at home.
The situation was urgent, and Wei Ma put aside her teachings and asked anxiously, "Where did they fight?"
Military Advisor Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, they are still at the mountain gate and haven't come up yet."
The terrain of Black Wind Village was complex, with a long downhill slope leading to the mountain gate, which was made even steeper by the construction. It was difficult for ordinary people to climb, not to mention the rock-rolling attacks from the gatekeepers. This first mountain gate was enough for them to fight for a while.
Ao Xi curled his lips and smiled, "Haha, it just so happens that I haven't seen blood for a long time, so I'll have some fun with them today."
Then he said in a loud voice, "Brothers, if you want to drink wine, eat meat, and wear gold and silver, follow me!"
"Walk!"
"Walk!"
...
Yamashita
Fang Junye looked at the officers and soldiers who were hit by rolling stones not far away, his brows furrowed.
