Abu, Lao Qian and other followers were waiting outside. As soon as Zhao Tingduo shouted, Abu appeared.
"Young Master!" Abu didn't know what happened inside.
Zhao Tingduo pointed at the two beauties and said calmly, "These are the two maids sent by the eldest young master. You must first marry them according to the rules, and then bring them back to the tribe and let the beggar nanny teach them some rules. You will stay in the tent and serve them, and you don't have to work."
Fallen flowers are like branded flowers!
Zhao Tinglei's expression changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "Third brother, you have always been kind and compassionate. How could you be so cruel to two beauties?"
The two beauties who were waiting to become concubines looked confused. What did fallen flowers mean? Was it a reward?
Aunt Li didn't understand either, and smiled and said, "Don't worry, my two sisters. The Third Young Master must have liked this special gift."
Abu touched the sheepskin bag around his waist, feeling a little confused.
There were two small iron ingots in his bag, both for baking bread for livestock. There were no bread for people, so the young master wanted to bake something for himself.
Zhao Tingduo smiled, his handsome face masculine and handsome. He took Song Liyun's hand and said to Zhao Tinglei: "Brother, I will say it again!
I have only one wife, and other women can only be slaves.
The grassland is vast, and if you stay there for too long, your heart will inevitably become wild. Only women who are branded with the mark of slaves can remember their identity at all times and not have any inappropriate thoughts.
Even if I don't check and get close to them for a while, I will know that they are slaves, and the children I give birth to will also be slaves, so my wife won't worry."
Zhao Tingduo did not directly reject the two concubines, but announced the future of the two women.
If Zhao Tinglei still wanted him to accept her, then he would accept her, but only because she was a gift from the emperor and was a female slave in the tribe who did not need to pick up cow dung.
Turning concubines into female slaves does not affect the male masters' ability to vent their desires, nor does it worry about affecting the status of the female masters. There is even no hidden worry about illegitimate sons and daughters.
Female slaves can have as many children as they can, as this is a contribution to the prosperity of the tribe. No one minds and there is no need to feed them with sterilization soup.
Anyway, the children born will be slaves, with low status and no inheritance rights.
Such rules may seem cruel, but they are the way grassland tribes maintain their heritage.
And every wife has her own subordinates.
Madam Wuya once told Song Liyun that the Wuda tribe was Madam Wuya's property for her future retirement.
The Mida River Valley that had just been conquered was the real dowry that the tribal chief should give to marry a wife. It was also the wealth belonging to Song Liyun, enough to raise her children.
If Zhao Tingduo wants to marry another wife in the future, he must conquer new territory and set up a new home.
Hearing Zhao Tingduo's words, Zhao Tinglei did not get angry. Although his face was still dark, he only sighed and shook his head and said: "Third brother, you are still too young. You will regret your naivety in the future."
He now felt like an old father looking at his foolish son.
There are so many beautiful women, why not take in more concubines and maids to expand the family? What the Wuda tribe lacks is people.
He even said in front of Song Liyun, "I only have one wife, and the others are all slaves." Is that right? Especially in front of his wife?
What if I meet a wonderful person like Aunt Li in the future? Would I really be willing to brand her as a lowly slave?
If he breaks his promise...how could Song Liyun obey him?
Zhao Shoubei suddenly felt exhausted!
He looked at Song Liyun, hoping that this Wuchao girl could understand the situation and help him persuade Zhao Tingduo.
But he was disappointed again!
Song Liyun saw the look in Zhao Tinglei's eyes, which was both blaming and pleading, and she just found it funny.
Who is willing to share her husband with others, or take the initiative to send someone to bed.
"Master Zhao, they say marriage is predestined. It's up to Ah Shi to decide what he wants. You don't have to worry about it!"
What this means is that not only is there no need to advise him, but he should also be asked to mind his own business.
Zhao Tinglei was a little annoyed: "Third brother is of such status. Without a concubine to share the burden, how can you, a woman, serve him well?"
Seeing that he still refused to give up, Song Liyun also got angry: "Ashi has hands and feet, he is not a three-year-old child, why does he have to be served by others!
If the concubines you mentioned are considered as serving you, Lord Zhao, I might as well be frank and say that A Shi cannot have concubines.
I don't want to.
I don't want a woman who is spying on my life like a thief and wants to take over my bed at any time.
You may think that these concubines will not take away my position as the wife, but that is just what you men think.
No woman who loves her husband will be willing to share it, just like you don't want your woman to have an affair with other men.
Unless the woman treats her husband as a mere decoration or a plaything, a dispensable thing that only exists for a title, she would gladly accept a concubine just to get away from her disgusting husband."
Song Liyun seemed not to notice Zhao Tinglei's face that looked like it was about to storm, and she spoke more and more smoothly: "Ashi treats me wholeheartedly, so I will naturally treat him wholeheartedly.
Hold your hand and grow old with you.
From now on, no matter it’s the grassland or somewhere else...it’s just the two of us, staying together for the rest of our lives.
Even when we are old and gray, we can ride horses and have fun together, with no trouble figuring out who will be with us. "
Song Liyun's voice was gentle and smiling as she spoke, as if she was talking to herself, but then her voice turned cold: "If Ah Shi dares to marry someone else casually, I will break his legs."
Zhao Tinglei couldn't stand it any longer. This was simply treason. He slammed the table and shouted angrily, "This is nonsense! You are just a jealous woman.
You're so domineering before you even enter the door, Third Brother, if you don't discipline yourself now, you'll be bullied again in the future."
Zhao Tingduo's eyes lit up when she heard this. This was the first time that Ayun expressed her feelings in this way, wanting to spend the rest of her life with him wholeheartedly.
Although the last sentence sounded a bit violent, he was not afraid. Ayun had no martial arts skills and could not beat him. It was just a statement made in anger.
Seeing the two of them on the verge of a fight, Zhao Tingduo suppressed his excitement and said seriously, "Brother, don't be angry. I think Ayun is right!"
"You... oh my, why are you doing this? You used to listen to Big Brother very much. Are you going to be estranged from Big Brother just because of this witch?"
Zhao Tinglei shook his head angrily, but he could do nothing about it.
Song Liyun was the daughter-in-law chosen by Madam Wu Ya. No matter how much he loved his third brother, he could not go against his biological mother's decision.
When Zhao Tingduo heard him say that Song Liyun was a witch, he immediately became displeased. He stopped eating and pushed away the dishes in front of him: "Brother, I don't want to take a concubine. I just don't want to be surrounded by women who are only jealous and scheming to hurt others!"
After saying this, he deliberately glared at Aunt Li, then pulled Song Liyun away without looking back.
No matter how tense the atmosphere in the room was, Aunt Li's face had already turned pale. At this moment, Zhao Tingduo glared at her, and her legs immediately gave way, and she knelt at Zhao Tinglei's feet, hesitantly saying, "Master, I have always been conscientious in my duties and dared not have any other thoughts. Miss Song's situation was just... just a misunderstanding."
She was scared.
She just couldn't accept that a military girl could be the legal wife, and she just wanted people to see her disrespect, she didn't intend to murder her.
Emerald and Amber next to them also looked pale. At this time, they finally understood what "fallen flowers" meant.
