Lu Bu: My wife comes from two thousand years later
Chapter 168 Not asking for trouble
In the front yard, Dong Qing, guided by her servants, walked towards the inner yard with some trepidation. Thinking of the happy times she had spent with Li Su in the mountains over the past month, she felt guilty and afraid. She would look back at Li Su every two steps.
Li Su followed behind, head lowered, not daring to look at her. His days in the mountains had made him temporarily forget that he was Fengxian's brother, his most trusted subordinate. Only after returning to Luoyang did he suddenly realize how many unforgivable things he had done. He felt the same way as Dong Qing: he was terrified of meeting Lü Bu.
Turning a corridor, Dong Qing saw two people walking towards her. One was Lu Bu, and the other was Zhang Mo, whom she had always wanted to kill. Dong Qing was furious as usual, and just as she was about to rush over and tear the people apart, she suddenly stopped and slowly relaxed her hand that was grabbing the hem of her skirt.
She walked forward, glanced at Lu Bu, then quickly lowered her eyes and knelt in greeting, "Husband! I'm back!"
Then he looked at Zhang Mo again, "This is the A-Mo that my husband was talking about, right? She is truly stunningly beautiful. No wonder my husband has been thinking about her for so many years."
Zhang Mo was stunned by Dong Qing's reaction. Was this really Dong Qing? After escaping death and going through so much hardship to return, she saw her husband with another woman. She wouldn't be surprised if she picked up a knife and killed someone, but her attitude was so... friendly?
Lu Bu had been prepared to face Dong Qing's storm, but unexpectedly, she only felt a slight soreness and no other reaction. This made Lu Bu a little uncomfortable. He looked Dong Qing up and down and asked, "Are you okay?"
Dong Qing shook his head obediently, "It's nothing serious. Thanks to General Li's protection along the way, I was able to return safely."
Lu Bu looked at her strangely, and after a moment he realized that he should be happy at this moment. He tried to pull the corners of his mouth, "I'm glad you're back!"
"I waited a long time for you in Luoyang, but you didn't return. I sent people to look for you, only to learn that you encountered bandits along the way. All five hundred soldiers were killed, and your whereabouts are unknown. I sent people to search Shangdang, but couldn't find you. I thought...where had you been all these days? If you're fine, why did it take you so long to return?"
The expressions on Dong Qing and Li Su's faces froze. Li Su clasped his fists and said, "I was afraid of encountering bandits along the way, so I took my wife along the mountain path. It was difficult to travel in the snow, so we were a little slow in returning."
In fact, they could have come back earlier, but both of them were obsessed with life in the mountains, so it took so long.
Lu Bu nodded. "You are quite steady. Thank you for your hard work! Do you know which bandits were waiting to kill you in Shangdang?"
Li Su said, "They are from the same gang as the bandits from Beimang Mountain last time. They must be the Prime Minister's enemies and are here for revenge."
"Black Mountain Bandits?" Lu Bu glanced at Zhang Mo. This was a good thing. He would not suspect that it was Zhang Mo who sent people to take revenge for the destruction of the earth building.
Lu Bu probed again, "Did you leave any clues?"
Li Su shook his head. "I don't know, but Yu Fuluo might know something. He also sent troops to help us that day, but they couldn't win the fight. I wonder if he sent anyone to follow those bandits."
Hearing this, Lü Bu and Zhang Mo's hearts jumped. If Dong Zhuo found out about Juyi Village, would he send troops to suppress it? As soon as they thought of this, they looked at each other and felt relieved. Yuan Shao and his men were about to raise an army. Even if Dong Zhuo knew about it, he wouldn't have the energy to suppress a few bandits at this time.
Lü Bu looked at Li Su's filthy clothes and said, "Zi Zheng, you have worked hard these days. This time, you have done a great job in protecting my husband and others. I will report to the lord and reward you."
Li Su bowed, "This is my duty, I dare not ask for a reward!"
Dong Qing said, "You deserve the reward. If it weren't for General Li, I would not have come back alive."
Lu Bu nodded. He was actually feeling a bit complicated at this moment. He was happy that Li Su returned safely, but he was also worried that A Mo would still not let him go. He subconsciously turned to look at Zhang Mo, but saw that she was looking at Li Su and Dong Qing with a thoughtful expression.
Could it be that Amo is thinking about how to kill these two again?
Although Li Su made mistakes, he was just following orders and his crime was not punishable by death. Lu Bu was about to ask Li Su to withdraw when he heard Zhang Mo staring at him and asking, "Were you the one who led the troops to destroy my earthen building and kill my men?"
Li Su was stunned for a moment. Was the owner of the earthen building this woman? Seeing Zhang Mo and Lü Bu standing so close together, Li Su suddenly understood something, and his expression changed. No wonder Qing'er was still a virgin after being married for so long. She said it was because Fengxian was inhumane. How could Fengxian be inhumane? He was clearly mesmerized by this stunning woman before him.
Dong Qing subconsciously took a step in front of Li Su and looked at Zhang Mo with a proud expression, "Yes, I was the one who asked him to go. So what? Do you still want to seek revenge on us?"
Seeing Dong Qing's arrogant attitude, Lu Bu angrily said, "Qing'er, you killed so many innocent people and you still don't know it's wrong. Apologize to Amo now!"
"I want you to apologize to her? Dream on!" Dong Qing roared in anger again, "Who is she? Is she worthy of my apology?"
Lu Bu took Zhang Mo's hand and said word by word, "She and I are engaged. She is my wife!"
"She's your wife? Then what am I?"
Zhang Mo smiled and said, "You are naturally the wife that Lü Fengxian married, Lü Bu's wife..."
She emphasized the words "married in a formal ceremony", "madam", and "wife", and her eyes moved from Li Su to Dong Qing's faces while speaking. When Li Su heard this, his eyes immediately drooped.
Dong Qing's arrogant expression froze slightly, and her tone softened slightly, "Since you know I'm his wife, you should put yourself in your proper place and stop acting like a wife."
Zhang Mo said, "I naturally know my place, and Madam should also be clear about her own identity. You are Lu Bu's wife, not..."
She dragged out the last word a little too long, and seeing Dong Qing's evasive eyes, she clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with her hands hanging by her side, with such force that her knuckles turned white.
Zhang Mo changed the subject, "He's not a military officer. He shouldn't order his generals to help you do things you shouldn't do."
Dong Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief and pouted, "What does it have to do with you?"
It was winter, and Dong Qing felt her palms sweating. Why did this woman make her feel like she knew about her affair with Zizheng?
Zhang Mo said indifferently, "It's none of my business. I'm just worried that this will damage Madam's reputation. After all, Zizheng is Fengxian's brother and subordinate, not your retainer."
Innocent reputation? She actually said Innocent reputation? Dong Qing became nervous again. Could this woman have seen something? But she and Zizheng had been alone in the mountains for so long, so it was normal for others to be suspicious. She hurriedly defended herself, "Fengxian, Zizheng and I are innocent. We didn't do anything..."
Zhang Mo smiled secretly, it turned out to be a case of trying to cover up one's own mistake!
Lu Bu also realized something at this time. His eyes turned cold when he looked at Li Su, but they returned to normal in an instant. He comforted him, "I know. Qing'er loves me so much, how could she do anything to let me down? And Zizheng is not that kind of person. I believe you."
He said to Li Su, "Zi Zheng must be tired too. Go back and rest for a few days before joining the army."
"Subordinates resign!"
Seeing that Lu Bu had no doubts, Li Su slowly let go of his worries and retreated with his head lowered.
Lu Bu then said to Dong Qing, "Go wash up quickly. I'll have someone prepare food for you."
"Yes!" Dong Qingfu nodded and hurried to the inner courtyard as if he had been pardoned.
After everyone left, Lu Bu asked, "Did they..."
Zhang Mo nodded. "Nine out of ten, judging by how Dong Qing protected Li Su just now, perhaps he's not only cheating physically, but mentally as well."
Lu Bu said, "That's perfect. She will definitely agree to my proposal for a divorce."
"It depends on whether she likes you more or Li Su more."
Zhang Mo looked up at him and asked, "Are you not angry at all?"
Lu Bu pursed his lips and said, "I'm not angry, but I feel a little uncomfortable."
Zhang Mo snorted coldly, "You still treat her as your wife."
Lu Bu looked at the sour-looking woman in front of him with a bit of a laugh and a tear, "I treat her as a brother, not as a wife."
"What are you talking about?"
"To outsiders, Dong Qing is my legitimate wife. Zizheng actually did this behind my back. How can I feel comfortable with him?"
Zhang Mo reacted, "Are you angry that he betrayed you? Or maybe Dong Qing seduced him?"
Lu Bu said, "If what they did was true, then it must have been Zi Zheng who took the initiative. Dong Qing has never experienced anything like that, so how could she understand this?"
As a man, Lu Bu understood men better than Zhang Mo. However, he had originally planned to find a reliable man for Dong Qing to remarry in the future. If she had feelings for Li Su, he would help them get together.
"That's not necessarily true. A man and a woman alone can easily ignite a passionate flame."
Lu Bu smiled when he heard this and whispered in her ear, "Then why have you never been aroused by me?"
Zhang Mo said calmly, "Because I am real gold..."
