Your Majesty, please spare Diao Chan; your yang energy is too strong.

"Isn't it only natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines?"

"Brother Heng is a powerful figure in his own right. If he didn't have several wives, wouldn't he be ridiculed?"

"Besides, Heng and I are in love, and my heart is as firm as a rock. If you do not agree, then I will have no choice but to atone with my death."

Zhao Yu said firmly.

"you........."

"Fine, since you've made your decision, I won't say anything more."

"However, if he comes tomorrow, I must be allowed to go forward and test him first."

"If this person is truly as you say, then so be it; otherwise..."

When he said the last sentence, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

"Don't worry, brother. Heng and I love each other, how could he deceive me?"

Zhao Yu naturally understood the meaning behind Zhao Yun's words, but she didn't care at all.

Because in her heart, her Heng-ge wasn't like that.

She immediately ran excitedly to Zhao Yun's side, shaking his arm and acting coquettishly.

This scene made Zhao Yun so frustrated that he almost vomited blood.

My own sister.

She had never cared about herself this much before, but in just half a day, her heart was completely devoted to someone else.

How could he not feel frustrated?

"Why........"

"If this person is narrow-minded and a manipulative person, even if you hate me for the rest of your life, I will still eliminate this villain."

Zhao Yun looked at his sister intently, and finally sighed.

..............

Zhou Heng was naturally unaware of what was happening here.

Even if you don't know, you can still guess.

After all, any older brother would feel the same way.

They couldn't accept it either; in just half a day, their girl had been snatched away by someone else.

His pants were still leaking.

Even if it were me, I'd probably be tempted to eat people.

the next day.

Zhou Heng arrived as promised.

The reason for waiting until the next day was to wait until Zhao Yu had successfully calmed Zhao Yun's anger before coming to pick up his wife and brother-in-law.

Oh, he's one of my future top generals.

However, before Zhou Heng could knock on the door, Liao Hua stopped him.

"My lord, are you really going to come here like this? Aren't you afraid of being killed by Zhao Yun?"

Liao Hua looked at Zhou Heng, who had nothing in his hands, speechless.

After spending this time together, their relationship has long since transcended that of a typical master-servant relationship.

Aside from when we're doing serious business, we're more like good friends or brothers.

After all, Liao Hua could be considered his first true angel investor.

Without him, who knows where he would be wasting his life now.

The bond between the two is unparalleled.

"Any questions?"

Zhou Heng looked puzzled.

I looked at myself and there was nothing dirty on me.

"Um... My lord, you just won that girl's heart yesterday, and... today you came to propose marriage and even wanted to take her under your wing. Don't you think there's a big problem with that?"

Liao Hua touched his forehead.

My inner monologue is a rant.

One must be as wise and powerful as one's own lord is at times.

Why are you so dull at a time like this?

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Heng still didn't quite understand.

After all, in his view, everything is ready now, except for the final push.

How else can we make house calls if we don't do it this way?

We can't just wait for them to come to us.

If we really wait for the other party to come knocking on our door, things won't be so harmonious.

He'll probably have to take up his Dragon Gallant Silver Spear.

"It's a gift."

"You don't need to bring gifts when you propose marriage?"

"Not to mention, you want to successfully recruit him. You even took his sister yesterday, and now you come empty-handed. Won't he think that our lord is looking down on him?"

Liao Hua said.

Zhou Heng suddenly realized: "I was wondering why something felt off earlier. Oh, that's what it was. So, when we came here pretending to be merchants, we brought some items with us, right? Let's take those things down and use them as my betrothal gifts, shall we?"

Zhou Heng had also felt that something was wrong.

However, this matter concerns his wife and Zhao Yun, a peerless warrior.

For a moment, he was caught off guard.

Liao Hua's words today suddenly made him realize the truth.

"But weren't those things the ones we went to visit Zhang Yan?"

Liao Hua hesitated.

I was worried that it would be difficult to persuade Zhang Yan given my current status.

Then you told me to give all the gifts you were going to give to Zhao Yun.

What will we use to persuade Zhang Yan then?

"You're stupid."

Who is Zhao Yu?

Zhou Heng rolled his eyes.

Liao Hua: "The future matriarch."

Zhou Heng: "That's right. You also know that Zhao Yu is your future mistress. Aren't the things you give to your mistress my things?"

Liao Hua: "But there's still Zhao Yun!"

Zhou Heng: "You were so smart when you reminded me before, how come you're so stupid now? His sister is already mine, how can this brother-in-law escape?"

Liao Hua's eyes lit up: "That's right. Since our lord married Zhao Yun's sister, Zhao Yun is naturally our lord's man. Since Zhao Yun is our lord's man, those things are naturally still ours. It's just a formality. Our lord, you are really clever. This is called giving a gift to two people at once."

Zhou Heng was speechless: "What do you mean by giving one gift twice? This is called using one thing for multiple purposes. Besides, who said that if we give it to Zhang Yan, it belongs to Zhang Yan? We've won Zhang Yan over, so it's still ours, isn't it?"

Liao Hua suddenly realized, and his gaze toward Zhou Heng was filled with admiration.

"And what else have you found out?"

Zhou Heng was speechless.

"My lord, this is called getting something for nothing."

Zhou Heng: "........."

"Go and get ready. It won't kill you to say less."

Even though I was planning to get something for nothing, it just felt so unpleasant to say it out loud.

"Hehe, I'll go prepare now."

Liao Hua chuckled and immediately scurried off to prepare.

Soon, a large pile of gifts that had been prepared earlier was moved to Zhao Yun's doorstep.

"Dong dong dong."

With a knock from Zhou Heng, the courtyard gate was quickly opened.

After a while.

A young man who looked to be in his early twenties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an extraordinary appearance, walked out and looked Zhou Heng up and down.

"Who are you?"

Zhao Yun frowned, immediately recognizing Zhou Heng as the man who had stolen his sister's heart, but he still pretended not to know him and asked.

"I am Zhou Heng, Zhou Zixiu from Xuzhou. I have met this gentleman."

"To be honest, I fell in love with a woman in this courtyard yesterday at first sight, and we have long been mutually attracted to each other."

"I have already made up my mind that I will marry her in this lifetime."

"That's why I've come today to propose marriage."
