Song Yuxi spoke up at the right moment: "Then, considering that my sister sent 10,000 taels of silver to our family, we'll make you a secondary wife."
Lu Tu was completely bewildered. This was something he hadn't expected. Fortunately, Song Yuxi was quite tolerant and generous, and took the initiative to solve this troublesome problem for Lu Tu. Otherwise, there would have been a lot of chaos.
Nangong Huiyu was about to get angry when she heard this, but then her eyes lit up and she said in a soft voice, "Then I'll have to trouble you from now on, sister."
"Of course, it's what I should do."
The two women spoke to each other in a sarcastic tone.
Lu Tu has been in this world for a month, but he still thinks like a modern person and hasn't adapted to marrying two wives yet, especially since he used to be a disciplined special forces soldier.
"My lord, let's go home."
"That's right, we're not married yet, husband."
Lu Tu's arms were held tightly, and he couldn't break free at all. He could only maintain this position as he led the two of them out of the warehouse.
As soon as he peeked out, he saw a crowd of villagers gathered not far away to watch the spectacle. When they saw Lü Tu looking over, they quickly said with a forced smile, "Congratulations, Captain! You've married another beautiful bride."
"What's that old saying? A virtuous woman is matched with a jackal, or rather, a good horse is matched with a good saddle. Brother Lü and your two wives are truly a perfect match!"
Lu Tu nodded to everyone: "If there's nothing else, everyone can disperse. Liu Yang, you take your men and guard the warehouse. Everyone will come to collect their food tomorrow!"
"yes!"
The villagers cheered, "Thank you, sir!"
Liu Yang and Nie Yun are still trustworthy; at least they had many opportunities to run off with the money, but they didn't.
Back home, Lü Tu finally extricated himself from the two women. He rubbed his aching arms and glanced at his dilapidated home.
Nangong Huiyu exclaimed in shock, "You...you can lead people to plunder the White Lotus Sect's base, yet you live in such a dilapidated place? Is this how the Wuchuan Border Army treats you? No wonder they are gradually declining."
Song Yuxi and Nangong Huiyu are both stunningly beautiful women, and standing in the thatched hut, they are completely out of place with the surrounding scenery.
Song Yuxi glanced at her sideways: "So what? There's no place like home. This is my husband's ancestral home."
Nangong Huiyu pouted: "That's not what I meant. I meant that since the border army doesn't value you, why not join my White Lotus Sect? With your talent, you'll definitely be valued. We'll even buy you a big house in Suzhou!"
Song Yuxi scoffed, "Is a house in Suzhou so great? My husband doesn't care about anything like it."
"What do you mean 'your family'? He's my husband too!"
"My name is Song Yuxi. What's your name?"
"Nangong Huiyu".
"You surnamed Nangong, even a dog wouldn't despise a poor home. I kindly asked my husband to take you in, and you actually dare to look down on him?" Song Yuxi rebuked sternly.
Even Lu Tu was taken aback. In all the years since they had been married, this was the first time he had ever seen Song Yuxi so angry.
Nangong Huiyu quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. I meant that my sister and husband deserve better."
"Hmph." Song Yuxi was definitely not going to give her a nice look.
He nudged Nangong Huiyu aside with his shoulder and started cooking on his own.
Lu Tu felt sorry for Song Yuxi. He had never let her have a good life, and now he had brought a woman back by some twist of fate.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out a gemstone necklace, which he had just taken from a box in the warehouse. Since it was all his own stuff, it couldn't really be called stealing; he just intended to give Song Yuxi a surprise.
Song Yuxi was squatting by the stove, her grievances reaching their peak. She had only agreed to let Nangong Huiyu be her secondary wife because she didn't want to put Lü Tu in a difficult position.
Her grievance wasn't that Lü Tu had found another woman, but that Lü Tu hadn't told her beforehand.
A mist of water vapor gradually rose before Song Yuxi's eyes. She turned her head to the side and wiped the corner of her eyes with her sleeve.
When she turned around, she saw an incredibly dazzling gemstone necklace being held by a rough and broad hand.
She turned around in surprise and saw Lu Tu smiling at her, saying, "Yu Xi, I love you."
'Eek'
At this moment, all of Song Yuxi's grievances poured out, and she threw herself into Lu Tu's arms: "Husband, Yuxi loves you too."
The two locked eyes and, overcome with passion, kissed, completely disregarding the feelings of Nangong Huiyu standing nearby.
At this moment, Nangong Huiyu was extremely embarrassed. Even though she was the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect, the education she had received since childhood had taught her that women should value their chastity, and she had never seen such a bold act before.
At the same time, a pang of sadness welled up inside her, and she turned away, her face flushed with embarrassment, her back to the two of them.
But the lingering sounds of saliva still reached her ears, making her feel an unbearable itch.
It wasn't until the time it takes to drink a cup of tea had passed that Lü Tu finally spoke with a smile: "Yu Xi, you are so beautiful."
"My husband, you are also very mighty and strong."
Upon hearing this, Nangong Huiyu's skin instantly broke out in goosebumps. It seemed that her previous strategy had made a mistake; trying to get close to Lü Tuguang by using reverse psychology wouldn't work.
She turned her head, coughed once, and squatted down by the stove to start cooking porridge.
Seeing this, Lü Tu laughed and said, "You can cook?"
Nangong Huiyu didn't dare to look at him, her little face flushed: "From now on, I'll cook. Sister, you've worked hard taking care of your husband."
"Huh? Why did you change your mind?" Song Yuxi couldn't help but ask curiously.
Nangong Huiyu sighed softly, "I'm sorry, sister. I was wrong just now. I did it on purpose to upset you, but I realized I was wrong."
"What did you do wrong? Women are inherently selfish; no one wants their man to be shared with others." Although Song Yuxi spoke magnanimously, she tightened her grip on Lü Tu's waist.
Nangong Huiyu saw all of this, took a deep breath, and looked at Song Yuxi solemnly: "Sister, I am here to join this family, not to break it up."
Hearing this, Song Yuxi helped her up and brushed the dust off her clothes: "Now that you and your husband have consummated your marriage, I am naturally happy to see you pleased. From now on, you will take good care of your husband with me."
Nangong Huiyu nodded shyly: "Mmm!"
Just then, Lü Tu suddenly punched Nangong Huiyu on the head, startling even Song Yuxi who was standing next to him.
But Nangong Huiyu didn't dodge at all, and didn't even have time to react. She could only innocently close her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, as if waiting for her fate.
Lu Tu's fist stopped an inch from the tip of her nose: "Why didn't you dodge?"
Nangong Huiyu opened her eyes and, facing Lü Tu's questioning, she smiled bitterly and said, "What I practice is the virginity technique. The moment you defiled my chastity, I lost my skills. This is the fate of every generation of White Lotus Saintess. I know you look down on me. If you want to kill me, then do it!"
