"It's very simple, because you are the Marquis of Zhenbei, famous all over the world, and I am just a little person with no status.
The fight between your two wives should actually be a fight over the status of the principal wife.
I'm just a little soldier, it doesn't matter who is my wife, but you are different, you are the powerful Marquis of Zhenbei. "
"Do they both care about this status? Is it so important?"
Han Yun said doubtfully.
Zhang Xiaoyu smiled bitterly, then clasped his hands and said,
"Master Marquis, I would like to make a bold guess. If there is any disrespect, please forgive me."
"Just tell me, I'm not someone who punishes others just because they say something unpleasant."
"Well, the general feels that what they are actually fighting for is not you, but your position as the principal wife.
Xiaoyu...oh, she should be called Mrs. Han now.
I know her relatively well. She has been playing with Meng Qi and me since she was a child. I even met her five years ago before I left Yumen Pass.
She is a character who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. Because of her poor background, she is often bullied, which also creates her strong and aggressive character.
It's not her fault. If she hadn't been aggressive, a concubine of the Qi family could have been bullied to death.
Originally, you were the only one with her, so she had no sense of crisis and was naturally very well-behaved, but now suddenly there is another wife, which makes her worry about gains and losses.
She is a miserable girl who is afraid of losing and even more afraid of being bullied.
In order not to be bullied, she wanted to have the status of the principal wife to help her prevail over the other wife.
As for your aunt, I don’t know much about her character, but I’ve heard a little about it..."
"Wait a minute, how do you know my other wife is my aunt?"
Han Yun said doubtfully.
Zhang Xiaoyu blinked,
Brother, do you still need to ask? The news has spread throughout the army. I also heard what the Bodhisattva Wonderful Desire said that day. Today, you all go to the city gate to greet her. Who else can stand beside you and be with you, other than your wife?
"Forget it, it's indeed my aunt. You saw it today. Xiaoyu is indeed soft on the outside and strong on the inside. As for my aunt, she is tough on the outside and tougher on the inside."
"Well, I have never heard of Fairy Xuanyi's name before. After all, Yumen Pass is located in a remote place, and I study all day long and don't pay much attention to Jianghu affairs. These things came from Meng Qi's words when I asked for your information on the way. Said.
Fairy Xuanyi is your master, and even more so your aunt. Now that she is your wife, she should be more intimate with her, and feel more secure.
But that's not the case. She should be even more anxious. She would be more eager to be the first wife than Qi Xiaoyu.
Because there can only be one first wife, if Xiaoyu becomes the first wife, she will have to overpower Fairy Xuanyi.
Fairy Xuanyi is a second-level powerhouse, well... she should be second-level, after all, she can fight the Bodhisattva.
As the leader of Zhaoxia Peak, she holds a high position all year round. She is also your elder. You have to be respectful in front of her before.
Such a person must have arrogance in his heart. Even if he is married, he will never allow another woman to put pressure on him.
Think about it, Xiaoyu is younger than her, not as good as her in martial arts, and her seniority is not as good as hers. A woman who is not as good as her in everything, but has a higher status than her, bullies her, how can she endure it?
In addition, she is your elder, and she pays more attention to the opinions of outsiders. She is afraid that others will say that such a powerful woman has become her nephew's concubine. Where does this put her face?
How could such a proud woman accept all this?
Firstly, it is their status struggle, and secondly, because you, the Marquis of Zhenbei, are too famous, you will naturally receive more attention. No matter whether it is the government or the public, whether it is the Jianghu or the common people, who can not pay attention to you?
Correspondingly, they will also receive a lot of attention, and no one wants to be embarrassed in front of the world.
Therefore, both people are facing each other.
Position, determined to win! "
After hearing Zhang Xiaoyu's words, Han Yun became thoughtful.
He really didn't expect this.
It’s not that he is not as smart as Zhang Xiaoyu. A wise man will make mistakes if he thinks a lot. He is in it, so naturally he cannot be a bystander. Furthermore, he definitely doesn’t understand this world like other aborigines, and he still adheres to the monogamy of his previous life. I can't let go of my thoughts.
"Then, which one of them do you think is better as the first wife?"
Han Yun asked.
Zhang Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Brother, are you asking me to die? How can I, an outsider, make the decision for you about your own family affairs? No matter who I say is suitable, I will offend the other wife, and if there is a commotion in your house, you will definitely remember what I said tonight, don't you want to offend me?
Zhang Xiaoyu, who is well versed in how to deal with the world, immediately thought of this.
But when the Marquis asked him, he couldn't say he didn't know or had no choice, so he quickly used his brain and said,
"Master Marquis, from what I see below, whoever you choose to be the principal wife will definitely hurt the other party.
Xiaoyu was the first to follow you and was the most infatuated with you. She lived with you for so long without having any status or marriage. She didn’t care about the honor of her daughter’s family. She let others stab her in the back, just to make you happy. happy.
How sad she would be if you made her your concubine.
Xiaoyu can be regarded as my and Mengqi's younger sister. We all know her well. This child is soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She is very stubborn. If she is allowed to be a concubine, she may not think twice and commit suicide.
As for your aunt, it is even more impossible. You also said that with her strong character and noble status, letting her be a concubine would not be a suicide. She is afraid that she will end up with you. Xiaoyu tried her best and drew her sword towards each other. "
"It doesn't work this way or that way. What should I do? There is only one principal wife, and it's not suitable for anyone else. This matter can't be put off forever. It's not an option."
Han Yun sighed in distress.
"Master Marquis, who said there can only be one principal?"
Zhang Xiaoyu asked rhetorically.
Han Yun smiled bitterly and said,
"Are you talking about an equal wife? I know this, and I have also thought about it. The so-called three wives and four concubines are just one regular wife and two equal wives. What I mean is that an ordinary wife is also a wife, but her status is still not as good as that of a regular wife. I'm just a tall concubine.
In fact, this is still the system of polyandry and concubinage. It’s just a new way of saying it.
Even if both of them are wives, there is still a difference between a legitimate wife and an equal wife. In the end, it is still a fight between wives and concubines.
Of course, they may say they don't care, but I can't do that. I have to keep a bowl of water to myself, and I can't make them feel too uncomfortable.
Alas, this so-called system is deeply ingrained in people’s minds, and it is really harmful to people. "
