Transmigrating into a Turbulent Era as a Soldier, Starting with Marrying a Wife

#132 - Chapter 132 Breakfast Chat

The table in the bedroom was slightly cleared.

The dishes from the food box were placed on the table one by one.

The three of them didn't stand on ceremony and sat around the table to eat breakfast.

However, it wasn't long before...

Bai Yuxuan entered a dazed state.

She was biting half a steamed bun, staring blankly at her sister Bai Jing and Li Yuan across the table.

The reason was simple: even in the short time it took to eat, her sister was still showering them with dog food.

"Li Lang, try this, it tastes really good."

"Li Lang, you should drink more of this red date porridge."

"In a while, I'll have the chef stew a chicken to nourish Li Lang."

"Oh, are you talking about ginseng? Okay, at noon I'll have Zhao Yong and the others go to the pharmacy in the city to buy some."

"Hey, you, how did you get your clothes dirty just drinking porridge?"

"Here, let me wipe it for you."

Watching her sister carefully wipe Li Yuan's mouth with a handkerchief.

Bai Yuxuan's worldview was about to collapse.

Hey...hey, sister, aren't you mistaken? I remember that I'm the one who married Li Lang.

Why does it look like you're more affectionate with Li Lang than I am?

Where's your dignity as a female Marquis? Where's your nobility as the direct daughter of the Bai family? Where's your demeanor as one of the Four Great Marquises of Da Liang?

This tender and affectionate appearance, isn't something wrong?

Just then, Bai Jing turned her head, looked at Bai Yuxuan's dazed face, and said displeased.

"Yuxuan, eat your food properly, don't let our Li Lang laugh at us."

"Our...our Li Lang..."

Bai Yuxuan felt that if she stayed any longer, she would have mental problems.

She quickly finished her breakfast in a few bites and got up to escape from here.

"Yuxuan, wait a moment."

She just wanted to leave, to leave this room to her sister and Li Lang.

You can be as intimate as you like.

Anyway, out of sight, out of mind.

Bai Jing lowered her head and cleaned up the dishes.

She said to her sister.

"Don't be in such a hurry to leave."

"Of course there's something, and it's a huge matter to discuss with you."

Hearing this, Bai Yuxuan naturally couldn't leave, and helped to clean up the dishes while waiting.

Before long, Bai Jing finished cleaning up the dishes.

She returned to the bedside and sat down, then gestured for Li Yuan and Bai Yuxuan to sit down as well.

The two looked at each other and found chairs to sit down.

At this time, Li Yuan was still in a daze.

He usually knew that the Longxiang Marquis seemed to have a hidden affection for him.

But he didn't expect that the female Marquis's feelings for him were so deep.

Today, Bai Jing's attitude towards him surprised and moved Li Yuan.

The female Marquis, who was usually imposing and cold as an iceberg, was deeply affectionate and caring for him today.

Li Yuan felt like he was in a dream, and even had a sense of unreality.

Bai Yuxuan on the other side was also like this.

Now she looked at her sister with a face full of confusion and helplessness.

Seeing that the two had sat down.

Bai Jing first said very seriously to the two of them.

"The matter has already happened, and I have nothing to say."

"It's just that there are a few things I want to confirm with you first."

Li Yuan and Bai Yuxuan looked at each other, both with puzzled expressions.

They didn't know what Bai Jing wanted to confirm.

The female Marquis first turned to Li Yuan, and then asked softly.

"Li Lang, I ask you, what am I to you now?"

Li Lang was about to habitually answer, 'You are the female Marquis,' but his heart stirred, and he quickly stopped.

His mind raced, and he seemed to understand what Bai Jing meant.

So Li Yuan got up.

First, he gave a slight smile and saluted the female Marquis.

Then he replied softly.

"Before yesterday, to me, you were the lofty Longxiang Marquis."

"But by chance, I and Miss Bai Jing had conjugal relations."

"From now on, you are my beloved wife 'Jing'er'."

Hearing Li Yuan's answer, the female Marquis's cheeks were flushed, and she had a smile on her face.

Looking at her expression, she must be very satisfied.

The female Marquis Bai Jing also got up at this time and bowed to Li Yuan, and said softly.

"Then, as your wife, I will pay my respects to my husband."

Li Yuan quickly helped her up, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Bai Yuxuan, who was on the side, looked at the two of them being so formal, but her expression was dazed.

She didn't understand what her sister was going to do.

Then Bai Jing turned her head and looked at Bai Yuxuan on the side, and also asked softly.

"Then, Yuxuan, what am I to you now?"

"Ah?"

Bai Yuxuan's face was full of question marks, and she replied casually.

"Of course you are my sister."

The female Marquis continued to ask.

"Then, if we count from Li Lang's side?"

Bai Yuxuan suddenly understood.

Only then did she understand what her sister wanted to ask.

If calculated from the Bai family, Bai Jing was one year older than Bai Yuxuan, so of course she was the older sister.

But if calculated from Li Lang's concubine status.

Bai Yuxuan was the first to marry Li Yuan, according to the marriage customs of Da Liang.

The one who enters the door first is the older sister, regardless of age.

That is to say, from the Bai family's perspective, Bai Jing is the older sister.

But from the perspective of Li Yuan's wives, Bai Jing is considered to have entered the door later, then Bai Yuxuan would become the older sister instead.

This was a bit awkward.

That's why Bai Jing asked this question.

In fact, the essence of the question is how the two sisters should address each other in the future.

How clever Bai Yuxuan was, she rolled her eyes and quickly said to Bai Jing.

"Sister, what are you asking?"

"No matter how you calculate it, you are my sister."

"I married Li Yuan to dispel illness, and the wedding ceremony was held in a hurry."

"When we return to the Bai family, we must hold it again."

"Sister must be ahead of me."

Hearing Bai Yuxuan's words, the female Marquis had a smile on her face and was very gratified.

Li Yuan was quite emotional on the side.

His soul was a modern person, and he didn't care about the titles between wives and concubines in this era.

But in Da Liang, this is related to etiquette and family status, and there can be no carelessness.

Bai Jing said that she wanted to discuss a big matter with her sister, and she was not wrong.

The order of identity in the family is indeed a big matter for women.

Now it seems that the sisters have reached an agreement internally.

Bai Jing won completely, no matter how you calculate it, she is Yuxuan's older sister.

Seeing that the sisters seemed to want to say some private words.

Li Yuan felt that it was inappropriate for him to continue staying here.

So he found an opportunity to ask the sisters for leave and got up to leave the bedroom.

After Li Yuan left.

The sisters were speechless to each other.

After waiting for a while, Bai Yuxuan couldn't help but speak first.

She first sighed and said.

"Sister, what...what should we do in the future?"

"You are a Marquis, how can you be a concubine to Li Yuan?"

"Moreover, the marriage of nobles in Da Liang must be approved by the court to comply with etiquette."

"How could the court agree to a Marquis marrying a commoner?"

"What's more, there are those elders in the family."

"If they know that you are committed to a commoner."

"I'm afraid they will ask for family law and strip you of your identity as the direct daughter of the Bai family before they will give up."

Bai Jing also had a worried look, but said frankly.

"Since the matter has already happened."

"I won't regret it."

"Li Lang is the person I love."

"In this life, I will only recognize Li Lang as a man."

"What do those elders of the Bai family know?"

"This time on the expedition, if it weren't for Li Yuan."

"You and I would have died in the Chishui River."

"As long as I die."

"Those courts and nobles, how could they let our Bai family go?"

"They will rush up like carrion vultures and eat our Bai family clean."

"Everyone in our Bai family owes Li Yuan a favor."

"What's wrong with our sisters repaying with our bodies?"

Bai Yuxuan lowered her head, listening to her sister's words and nodding slightly.

Yes, if it weren't for Li Lang, the grass on her and her sister's graves would probably be two feet high by now.

What is there to regret about the sisters promising themselves to Li Lang?

It's just that Li Yuan's background as a commoner and the fact that he is already married will be trouble sooner or later.

Bai Yuxuan was still thinking.

A very domineering voice came from her sister.

"Hmph, if it really doesn't work, I won't be this Longxiang Marquis."

"Having Li Lang by my side in this life."

"I wouldn't trade it for anything."

Looking at Bai Jing, who was sulking, Bai Yuxuan moved her mouth.

But she couldn't say anything.

She sighed in her heart, it was clear that she was the one who married Li Yuan first.

But now it seems that her sister cares more about Li Yuan than she does.

For some reason, Bai Yuxuan rarely felt a sense of guilt.
