In the autumn in the northern frontier, the cold sand is vast and the strong grass is drooping. At night, the biting cold wind blows, making people shiver with cold.

Fu Yuanshu followed Song Weizhao in the vast desert for several months and lost a lot of weight.

All the money they brought with them was lost in the fighting in Tongcheng. Although Fu Yuanshu had a few silver bills and gold ingots hidden on her body, the Dakang silver bills were almost useless in the north.

Occasionally, I would meet a few wealthy merchants, but they were all black-hearted and would only exchange ten taels of silver for a hundred taels of silver notes.

Fu Yuanshu only exchanged two thousand taels of silver for two hundred taels of silver, which she asked Song Weizhao to use to bribe servants in various tribes, and she spent all of it.

Although he met several important figures, no one was willing to invest in a lone general.

No matter how capable he is, no one would look upon him with any respect.

In a simple tent inn, Fu Yuanshu huddled on the bed, covered with a quilt, shivering all over. A few sparse pieces of charcoal were burning listlessly in the brazier, just like her entire body, very depressed.

Fu Yuanshu was not in the mood to tidy up the brazier. She held the last small piece of gold ingot tightly, thinking about Yundu City and her mother. A few hot tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.

She had never suffered such a hard life since she was born.

She didn't even believe that her elder sister had experienced such a thing.

How could a timid person like the eldest sister endure such hardship?

It was clear that in the previous life, not long after the eldest sister followed Song Weizhao into the Northern Kingdom, she persuaded several tribes to move south together. Why was the result different for me?

She thought about it for a long time and finally figured out the reason.

It must be that Song Weizhao was not sincere enough to me and was unwilling to beg those tribal leaders for my own good.

Now, the entire Earl's family has been massacred, and her cousin and uncle's entire family has also suffered because of her. She said she would do anything to help Song Weizhao fulfill his wish.

While my thoughts were in a mess, Song Weizhao walked in with a sullen look on his face.

He was wearing a robe whose color had long been obscured by the wind and sand, and his face was covered with only skin, without any trace of the rich young man he once was.

"Do you have any clues?"

Fu Yuanshu concealed the anger and sadness on her face and forced a smile.

Song Weizhao shook his head dejectedly.

Fu Yuanshu's anger suddenly rose up: "My husband, have you ever really thought about avenging the Earl's Mansion and my cousin's entire family?"

"You... stop being unreasonable."

She would just question herself like this all day long, not realizing how hard it was for her to go out and ask for help every day.

Fu Yuanshu really didn't know how hard it was to ask for help from others, and she didn't know that her elder sister had to endure the sadness every day in her previous life to help Song Weizhao return to Yundu. She had to persuade and comfort Song Weizhao to cheer up, and she also had to help him to compromise and please Princess Nalan, and to deal with the leaders of various tribes in a perfunctory manner.

It was she who used her eloquent speech, as well as countless actions and tests, to gradually influence the tribal leaders, making everyone see that the couple had the ability to return to Yundu before they were willing to send troops.

For this reason, Song Weizhao felt grateful and was willing to firmly defend her dignity as the legal wife.

But Fu Yuanshu just felt that Song Weizhao was talented and capable, and should be appreciated and supported by everyone. Even without Princess Nalan's help, he could naturally ask for reinforcements.

Fu Yuanshu cried again, and cried even more sadly: "You must think that I am not as good as my elder sister, and I still have her in my heart. For her sake, I am unwilling to become an enemy of the Great Kang court."

Staring at Song Weizhao with tearful eyes, she said with a sad heart, "You must be worried that the Liyang Palace will lead the army north in the future, and you are afraid that it will embarrass your elder sister and the Lu family, right?"

"Miss Fu Er, you are simply unreasonable."

Song Weizhao was so angry that his face turned blue. He put a bag of barbecue he bought from outside on the table, turned around and walked out of the tent angrily.

He took out the letter sent by Princess Nalan from his arms and began to think alone.

After all, he was the eldest son of the Earl's Mansion. Even if he was captured, he would still be treated preferentially in Lierong City.

Now, for such a woman, he has been looked down upon everywhere and has to live a life of displacement. He was planning to accept it, but this person still doesn't understand him, so why should he continue to wrong himself for her.

After repeated consideration, he decisively walked back into the tent. Listening to the hysterical crying on the bed, he was so upset that he threw the letter in his hand hard.

"Princess Nalan sent me a letter. She said she doesn't want to bother with you anymore. As long as you agree to let her be my second wife, not only can we go to Lierong City together to live in peace, but she will also try to get reinforcements for me to attack Yundu."

"Become a co-wife?"

Fu Yuanshu laughed: "Song Weizhao, don't you know what she's thinking? She is a princess of a country. Once she gets married, how could she take me seriously? Will she recognize me as her legal wife?"

"Do you have any better idea than this?"

Song Weizhao pointed outside with a cold face: "If you think you are more capable than her, then go and invite thousands of troops to help me fight my way back to Yundu."

Fu Yuanshu was suddenly speechless and cried like a pear blossom in the rain, apparently at a loss as to what to do.

For a moment, she even wondered what her eldest sister would do if she were faced with such a situation.

"The blood debt of hundreds of people in the Pu and Song families is right in front of you and me. Now you are so rude even though I am only accepting a concubine. I want to know what you mean by your deep love and loyalty to me?"

Song Weizhao was too ruthless to argue with her anymore, and said bluntly: "Either you go back to Yundu by yourself, or you go to Lierong City with me obediently. You should weigh your choice carefully."

"You actually want to send me back to Yundu?"

Fu Yuanshu completely collapsed: "My father knew that I followed my husband to the northern border and severed the father-daughter relationship with me. The Emperor Dakang hates me to the core. My husband is so cruel."

Song Weizhao gradually fell silent.

She really gave everything for me, and I shouldn't be so cruel to her.

But her brain was like that of a three-year-old child. She thought about any problem in a fanciful way. She even thought that the emperor's throne was within her reach as long as she was willing to reach out.

Such a stupid brain is really a headache.

They are both daughters of the Fu family, so why is there such a big difference between them?

After thinking for a long time, he finally compromised reluctantly, walked up to Fu Yuanshu, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "I know that what I said just now was a bit harsh, but in order to return to Yundu as soon as possible and avenge this blood feud, I still have to make the necessary concessions."

After a moment of silence, he continued, "But don't worry, you are my legally married wife, and this will never change."

Fu Yuanshu was still crying sadly.

She didn't know what the problem was.

In order to prevent Song Weizhao and Princess Nalan from developing feelings for each other, he had caused the people in the Earl's Mansion to be slaughtered three years earlier. Why did he end up repeating the same mistake?

She was anxious and worried, knowing that she could not change Song Weizhao's mind, and now she could only try to keep her position as the legal wife.

"Husband, I shouldn't have treated you like that just now."

Fu Yuanshu blinked her bright eyes and looked at him: "Why don't we consummate our marriage here tonight and let me be your real wife."

"it is good."

Song Weizhao closed his eyes and said, "Keep everything simple when you are out there. I don't think my father and mother will blame me."
