"Master Lu, the thank you gift has been prepared. Whenever you have time, I will take you to see it." The maid said respectfully.
Lu Jing was a little surprised when he heard this. Didn't he agree to send the gift order first? Why did he change from door-to-door delivery to self-pickup?
But he didn't bother with such details. He nodded after hearing the maid's words, "Take me there."
So the maid led the way and led Lu Jing to a small courtyard to the west.
Lu Jing had never entered this small courtyard before when he was searching for the murderer. He knew that this place, like the place where he lived, was a guest room specifically for guests to stay and rest in the village.
However, the location of this place is a bit remote, and the environment is not as good as where Lu Jing and the others live.
There are no other guests in Wenjiazhuang right now, so the place is naturally empty.
Having said that, to be honest, Lu Jing still didn't expect Aunt Wen to put the thank-you gift for him here.
Because this place doesn’t look very showable.
Moreover, the maid stopped when she reached the entrance of the courtyard and said to Lu Jing, "Master Lu, I can only take you here. If you want to go inside, you can go in by yourself."
"What is it that makes it so mysterious?" Lu Jing was stunned.
Although he was asking the maid, he also knew that the latter would probably not answer, so after asking, Lu Jing walked directly in.
Anyway, no matter what it is, you will know when you take a look at it.
Besides, the dignified Hero Lu has seen quite a few strange things. What else can scare him?
While Lu Jing was thinking this, he had already crossed the yard and reached out to push open the door.
As a result, when I saw the red candles burning in the room and the figure wearing a phoenix crown and a green wedding dress sitting on the bed, I couldn't help but take a breath.
Well, he has never seen this scene of giving his wife a thank you gift for helping solve a case!
In particular, although the man sitting on the bed half-covered his face with a small fan, Lu Jing still recognized the man as Wen Xiaochuan from his figure and movements.
Lu Jing smiled bitterly and said, "Miss Chuan, why are you doing this? You know that I have a family... It's impossible for us to do this."
The man behind the fan bit his lip lightly, "Who says it's impossible? Since you already have a wife, Mr. Lu, I will marry you as my concubine."
Lu Jing was dumbfounded.
"ah?"
"Why, does Master Lu think that Xiao Chuan is not worthy of being your concubine?" Wen Xiaochuan's voice trembled slightly when he said this, as if he had been greatly wronged.
"Well, that's not what I meant. I meant that with your status as Miss Xiaochuan, you can't be a concubine, and Aunt Wen won't allow it."
"This is what I need to solve myself." Wen Xiaochuan said, "I only want to ask you, Master Lu, one question. If I am willing to be your concubine, will you take me in?"
Wen Xiaochuan became obviously nervous when he asked this question, and then waited quietly for Lu Jing's answer.
But Lu Jing was speechless for a moment.
As for himself, he really doesn't want to follow Brother Cheng's old path. Although he has seen many Neptune cases in his previous life, a man dated many girlfriends at the same time and even married many wives (without getting a license), but Lu Jing himself couldn't appreciate the fun at all.
You can understand it by doing a simple calculation.
As we all know, getting along with a girlfriend and wife comes with maintenance costs. Just having a girlfriend and wife can save you an hour of playing games and reading several chapters of comics every day.
Good guy, if there were one more, two more... Lu Jing felt like he wouldn't have to do anything else, not to mention that after giving birth to a child, the time-devouring machine would become even more ruthless.
Fortunately, in the evil old society, women usually took care of the children. In addition, after they got married, maids and maids were used as labor tools to help share the housework.
However, when there are more wives, there is another big problem, that is, there will be more open and secret fights in the back house, and every day is a Shura field.
What, you said you can't think of a way to prevent them from quarreling and love each other as a family?
But have you ever thought about another question? When your wives stop fighting each other and achieve great unity and unity, who will be the next unlucky person?
So don’t be fooled by those harems. Opening a harem is actually something that requires great courage and perseverance, and the input and output are completely out of proportion.
And this may be the reason why Lu Jing has been so resistant to the harem and chose to jump left and right.
To sum up, Lu Jing wanted to reject Wen Xiaochuan at this time, but he just hadn't thought of the right words yet. After all, Wen Xiaochuan even said the words "concubine" and put his attitude in the lowest position.
Lu Jing also had to consider her dignity and not say too harsh words.
But just as he was trying hard to find a tactful and polite excuse, he inexplicably thought of what Aunt Wen had said in the wine cellar.
Some people choose to give everything in their relationships, not because they don't know that it will be in vain in the end, but they just don't want to leave any regrets for their future selves.
This is the case with Xiaochuan now.
It's hard to imagine how much courage she mustered up when she said she wanted to be Lu Jing's concubine.
On the contrary, it was Lu Jing who was timid and cowardly. He listed a lot of disadvantages of having a harem, considered himself a dedicated and good man, and even before Wen Xiaochuan expressed his love, he gave up the righteous reason of having a family. To act as a shield.
He seems to be full of courage, but in fact he doesn't even dare to face his true feelings for Wen Xiaochuan, he just wants to escape.
But if he could escape this time, would he be able to escape next time?
Today he rejected Wen Xiaochuan, but what should he do when one day in the future he needs to choose between Xia Huai, Gu Caiwei and Yan Yun?
Besides, Lu Jing asked himself, if Wen Xiaochuan married someone else in the future, would he really not regret it?
Many years later, when he returns from his midnight dream, will he still think of a girl who once wore a green phoenix for him and said with anxiety and expectation that I would like to be your concubine?
Lu Jing didn't want such a nightmare to become a reality.
Forget it, let the Shura Field be the Shura Field. The worst thing is to upgrade the Fire Lin Armor to a few more realms to make it truly invulnerable, so that you won't follow in the footsteps of Brother Cheng.
As for the other troubles that would follow after opening the harem line, Lu Jing could only choose to grit his teeth and face it.
Lord Wei has already taken the lead in the charge, how can he retreat?
How can someone who only drinks Coca-Cola know what Pepsi-Cola tastes like? !
Thinking of this, Lu Jing no longer hesitated and strode towards Wen Xiaochuan.
So this time it was Wen Xiaochuan's turn to panic, especially when Lu Jing snatched the small fan she was using to cover her face, threw it aside, and then raised her chin with his index finger.
Wen Xiaochuan couldn't help but stuttered, "You...what do you want to do?"
"Don't you want to be my concubine? I almost fulfilled your request today." Lu Jing said solemnly.
