Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later

Luoyang.

Since Cao Cao met Zhang Mo last time, he has been running to the Wang Mansion every few days under the gimmick of marrying into the Wang family, giving gifts today and that tomorrow, and being extremely attentive.

When Zhang Mo learned from Meixiang that her father was actually discussing marriage with Cao Mengde, she was terrified. She rushed into the study to find Wang Yun, crying and making a fuss, "Father, I don't want to marry that old man Cao Cao as a concubine. I would rather die than marry him. If you want me to marry him, I will become a nun..."

Facing Zhang Mo's questioning, Wang Yun put down his brush and looked at her in surprise. "When did your father ever say he would marry you to Meng De? Who told you such nonsense?"

It was considered a low marriage for his precious daughter to be betrothed to a family as noble as the Cao family, so how could she possibly become a concubine?

"no?"

Zhang Mo pretended to wipe away her tears and asked, "Then why are you discussing marriage?"

Wang Yun smiled and said, "My son is fourteen this year, and it's time for marriage. I'm promising you Cao Ang, Cao Zixiu, the eldest son of Meng De. He's about your age. I saw him in Luoyang a few years ago. He's a handsome man, talented in both civil and military affairs, and most importantly, he has excellent moral character. I have a close relationship with Meng De, and he likes you too. If you marry into the Cao family, he will definitely treat you well."

"Cao Ang?" Zhang Mo was stunned. That short-lived guy?

"I won't marry Cao Ang either!"

"Why? Zixiu is such an outstanding man, and he and my son are a perfect match. Why don't you want to do it?" Wang Yun asked curiously.

"Dad, I haven't even met him. Marriage is a lifelong commitment. How can we marry blindly?"

Wang Yun comforted her and said, "Don't worry, my son. I will not make a mistake in choosing a man. Zixiu is indeed someone worthy of entrusting your life to."

"I won't agree!"

"I have already promised Meng De this matter, how can I go back on my word?"

"I won't!"

Zhang Mo squeezed out two tears and looked at Wang Yun pitifully, "Daddy, you forced me... You said that I could do whatever I wanted, but you didn't keep your word..."

Wang Yun: ...

"Then who does my son want to marry? Taishi Ziyi?" Wang Yun couldn't help but think of Taishi Ci who came to see her a few days ago. He was also a handsome man.

Zhang Mo said in a muffled voice, "I don't want to marry anyone. I just want to stay with Daddy for a few more years."

Wang Yun took a step back and said, "You can get engaged first, and then get married when you are sixteen."

"Is Daddy so anxious to kick me out of the Wang family?"

Wang Yun panicked and said hurriedly, "No, no, why would Dad kick you out of the Wang family? My daughter will eventually get married when she grows up, and Dad is doing this for your own good."

Then he asked tentatively, "Not as good as seventeen?"

Zhang Mo continued to pinch her arm and cry.

"eighteen?"

Still ignore.

"Well, then, after the engagement, let Zixiu come to Luoyang and live for a while. You can meet him and if you really don't like him, you can cancel the engagement."

"Do we have to get engaged?"

"This... I have promised Meng De this matter. I will send the gift in three days. I will never regret it."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Zhang Mo looked at Wang Yun strangely. The marriage had only been discussed for a few days, and yet he wanted to make a decision in just three days?

Wang Yun said, "Meng De is going back to Chenliu, so let's make a decision right away."

"Then why didn't you ask your daughter's opinion before agreeing to it?"

Wang Yun put on a matter-of-fact expression, "Since ancient times, marriage has always been decided by parents. Dad really loves Zixiu, and when Meng De mentioned it that day, Dad agreed without hesitation."

Is that so? Zhang Mo looked at Wang Yun suspiciously. His reasons all made sense, but she still felt something was amiss. With a woman's intuition, Cao Cao's affection for her that day was clearly not that of an elder towards a younger person, but rather that of a man towards a woman. Would he promise her to his son?

"Don't worry, my son. If you don't like it in the future, Daddy will agree to let you cancel the engagement."

Seeing Wang Yun's firm attitude, Zhang Mo knew it was useless to continue nagging him, so she had to take her leave and go back.

The next day, for some unknown reason, the news that the Cao and Wang families wanted to get married spread throughout almost half of Luoyang. This made Lu Bu very anxious. The person he had been thinking about growing up was actually going to be married off to someone else by that old man Wang Yun?

At this time, Lu Bu no longer concealed his relationship with Zhang Mo and ran to find Dong Zhuo that day.

"The person who saved you back then was the daughter of Situ Wang?" Dong Zhuo asked in surprise.

Lü Bu nodded. "I originally thought she was just a merchant's daughter, but recently I learned she's actually from the Wang family. Now Wang Yun wants to marry her to someone else. My lord promised me that day that I could marry her as a concubine. I'll go and finalize the marriage today."

Wang Yun was extremely respectful to Dong Zhuo and helped him deal with many troublesome matters. Dong Zhuo still valued him very much.

Dong Zhuo used to think that Zhang Mo was a merchant's daughter, and he thought that he could kill her quietly after marrying her. But now that he knew that she was a daughter of the Wang family, he couldn't kill her casually just to give Wang Yun face. He just wanted to make her equal to his own daughter. Dong Zhuo was still not happy about it.

Although he was reluctant, he had already promised Lü Bu and couldn't go back on his word. Dong Zhuo said, "In that case, you can go ahead and ask for her hand in marriage. But after you marry her, don't treat Qing'er lightly."

Lu Bu said, "Of course, Qing'er is my first wife, I naturally love and protect her."

"Yeah." Dong Zhuo waved his hand and asked him to leave.

Lu Bu left the palace and went straight to the prince's mansion.

Outside the palace gate, Wang Yun looked at Lu Bu sitting on a tall horse, without any surprise in his eyes.

He knew that Lü Bu had spent some time at Amo's Juyi Manor, and had previously considered using their friendship to win him over, but because Lü Bu was Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, he ultimately didn't dare take the risk. Later, Wang Yun invited Lü Bu to his mansion, deliberately letting Zhang Mo entertain him. From the look Lü Bu gave Zhang Mo, Wang Yun quickly understood that he coveted Amo's beauty.

That day, Cao Cao came to the palace to say goodbye and saw Zhang Mo. He recognized her as Young Master Zhang, who was pretending to be a charlatan on the street. Although the immortal was fake, the words she said that day were all true. Dong Zhuo's recent actions made Cao Cao predict what kind of disaster the Han Dynasty would suffer in the future. Cao Cao's heart as a capable minister was rekindled, and he decided to go all out and enter the palace to assassinate Dong Zhuo.

In order to kill Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu must be lured out first. Cao Cao and Wang Yun had been plotting these days, and the idea they came up with was to use Zhang Mo as bait, which led to the marriage negotiation between the Wang Mansion and the Cao Mansion.

Wang Yun respectfully welcomed Lü Bu into the hall. After seating the host and the guest, he asked, "General, I wonder what brings you here?"

Lu Bu stepped forward and placed the brocade box on Wang Yun's desk. "I've come here today to ask for your hand in marriage from Lord Situ. This is a pair of mutton-fat jade geese. Let them serve as a token of our engagement."

Lu Bu had originally prepared a room full of betrothal gifts for Zhang Mo, but he was afraid that it would be too grand and cause Dong Zhuo's dissatisfaction, so he only brought a pair of jade geese.

Wang Yun pretended to be surprised and asked, "Hasn't the general married the prime minister's daughter?"

Lü Bu said, "I have obtained the Prime Minister's consent to marry Amo as my second wife."

Wang Yun was surprised again. "Equal wife? Where in the world does such a thing come from?"

This time Wang Yun was really surprised. He originally thought that Lu Bu was just coveting Amo's beauty and would take her as a concubine at most, but he didn't expect that he would marry her.

Lu Bu bowed and said, "Regardless of whether there is such a rumor or not, I will marry Amo. I hope that Lord Situ will agree."

"Fengxian, are you attracted to my daughter?"

Wang Yun concealed his excitement. If so, after Meng De killed Dong Zhuo, with his relationship with A Mo, he could win over Lu Bu to suppress the other Xiliang troops. As for the marriage with the Cao family, they could talk about it later.

Lu Bu wanted to express his affection for Zhang Mo, but after thinking for a while, he decided to answer conservatively, "Amo and I knew each other in our early years. It was with her help that I escaped the pursuit of the Yang family. I am somewhat fond of her."

Wang Yun thought to himself, "That time, I settled the Yang family issue for you. However, judging from this, this guy really has some affection for A-Mo."

He pretended to hesitate for a moment, then said, "Since Fengxian is so sincere in asking for marriage, there is no reason for me to refuse."

Lu Bu was overjoyed. "Thank you, Lord Situ! Don't worry, I will treat Amo like a treasure and love her forever."

Lu Bu was so excited that he was a little at a loss. His relationship with Amo could finally be made public, and Amo was finally his fiancée.

Because of Lu Bu's surprise attack, the engagement ceremony was very simple. The two parties only exchanged engagement letters and tokens. Wang Yun saw that it was not yet noon and was afraid that Cao Cao had not succeeded, so he asked Zhang Mo to come out and sit with Lu Bu for a while.
