A sickly fellow ridiculed by the entire army? I'll be the most beautiful woman in the barracks!

Now that a consensus had been reached, Zhao Daxuan stood by, helping out while chatting idly.

The conversation naturally turned to Li Weiwei's family situation.

Although quite some time has passed, Li Weiwei still seemed somewhat downcast when the topic was brought up again.

"My father was originally an imperial censor. Although his official position wasn't very high, my sister, brothers, and I all lived happily under his protection."

"Last year, my father could no longer tolerate the prime minister's insatiable greed, factionalism, and disregard for the lives of the people, so he resolutely impeached the current prime minister."

"The result was obvious: my father failed. Not only did he fail, but he was also falsely accused of treason and colluding with the enemy, and the whole family became prisoners."

"All the men in the family were beheaded, and the women were either sent to the religious authorities or forced into prostitution."

"My sister and I are very lucky to be able to come to my husband's side and be protected by him. We are both very grateful."

"The thought that my husband will have to participate in such a dangerous bandit-suppression mission in a few days because of us makes Weiwei restless and unable to eat or sleep."

Sensing Li Weiwei's low spirits, Zhao Daxuan sighed softly and pulled her into his arms.

"Weiwei, let bygones be bygones."

"Right now I am too weak to do anything for your family, but one day when I achieve something, I will help your family get justice."

Li Weiwei shook her head and said, "Husband, I have no other requests. As long as you are safe and sound, I will be satisfied."

Li Weiwei's tone was firm, revealing her sincere feelings.

Zhao Daxuan was touched and simply hugged Li Weiwei quietly, the two enjoying this rare moment of peace together.

For dinner that day, Zhao Daxuan cooked again, asking a neighbor to buy two old hens to make soup for Li Shishi and her sister to nourish their bodies.

In his previous life, Zhao Daxuan lived alone for a long time, and would cook to satisfy his taste buds when he had nothing to do.

Thanks to the advanced self-media tutorials of his previous life, Zhao Daxuan still managed to learn a thing or two.

Li Weiwei stood at the doorway, watching Zhao Daxuan busy in the kitchen, smelling the aroma wafting from him, her eyes filled with admiration.

"Sister, I never imagined that my husband, who looks so frail, would be so skilled in martial arts, and even his cooking is amazing."

Li Shishi nodded in agreement and said, "It's really unexpected, and it's quite rare to see a grown man cooking for us."

The two girls were taught from a young age that a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen, so Zhao Daxuan's willingness to cook for them touched them deeply.

Zhao Daxuan cooked the dishes, and Li Shishi and her sister helped serve them. The three dishes and one soup, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, were quickly prepared.

The two sisters waited until Zhao Daxuan sat down at the head of the table and started eating before they began to eat as well.

Li Shishi looked at the dinner in front of her and was filled with emotion.

Before the incident, their daily meals were no better than this.

She couldn't understand where Zhao Daxuan got so much money. She had been worried that Zhao Daxuan would continue to suffer from cold and hunger because his family was so poor.

As a result, today we not only took them to buy several new sets of clothes and bedding, but also had a meal of mutton and a meal of chicken.

"Shishi, don't just stand there! Come on, have a chicken leg."

Seeing Li Shishi staring blankly at the dining table, Zhao Daxuan assumed she was embarrassed and simply put a chicken leg on her plate.

Looking at the chicken leg in front of her, Li Shishi heard her sister's cheerful laughter and felt a warm current welling up in her heart.

Today, she felt at home again here.

"Sister, look how good our husband is to us, why don't you just give in to him tonight!"

Li Wei's cheerful voice came from across the dining table.

Li Shishi snapped out of her daze, a blush spreading across her face, and then glared at her fiercely.

"Eat your chicken leg! Even a chicken leg this big can't shut you up!"

Zhao Daxuan gave Li Weiwei an approving look, and Li Weiwei winked back, implying that they should wait and see how she performed.

Seeing that the two of them were treating her like she was invisible, Li Shishi could only helplessly bury her head in her rice and pretend not to know anything.

The neighbor's old hen was very fat, and the two sisters ate it with gusto.

After the meal, the two sisters took the initiative to clean up the dishes, and Li Weiwei pushed Zhao Daxuan out of the kitchen.

"Husband, why don't you go to the main hall and have some hot tea? We sisters can handle the washing dishes."

After Zhao Daxuan left, Li Weiwei did not forget what she had promised him that morning.

In fact, regardless of whether Zhao Daxuan asked her for help or not, she would speak up for Zhao Daxuan.

Given their looks and circumstances, they simply couldn't survive without a reliable man to depend on.

Instead of seeking other uncertainties, it's better to focus on serving Zhao Daxuan.

So Li Weiwei followed Li Shishi to tidy up while speaking well of Zhao Daxuan.

"Sister, I never thought we could live such a life with enough to eat and wear. It's all thanks to my husband."

"Although I've only known my husband for two days, I already feel that he is a very reliable person."

Recalling her experiences over the past two days, Li Shishi sighed, "Young Master is indeed a good person; he should be someone I can rely on."

"If you hadn't agreed yesterday, we might never have seen this side of him."

"But how long can such peaceful days last? Young master will have to go out to suppress bandits in a few days."

As Li Shishi spoke, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, worrying about the future: "Sigh, I always have a sense of unease."

Seeing this, Li Weiwei quickly said earnestly, "Sister, as long as our husband doesn't fall, our support won't fall."

"You don't know, my husband has a magical ability!"

"By sleeping with different women, you can unleash your potential and enhance your strength."

"Didn't you notice? After we slept together last night, he became so amazing today!"

After listening, Li Shishi looked at Li Weiwei suspiciously; she didn't believe such a miraculous thing could happen.

But remembering Zhao Daxuan's sickly and listless appearance yesterday, and the howling wind from his boxing in the yard this morning, she fell silent again.

"Sister, we really have no other choice."

"We made a pact on the way to this border that we would never live a life of dishonor."

"If anything were to happen to my husband now, we can imagine what our fate would be."

"Why don't you also give in to your husband, so that he can quickly improve his strength and protect himself? I believe he will truly care for us!"

Li Shishi blushed upon hearing this, bit her red lips lightly, and lowered her head in thought.

Seeing that Li Shishi didn't say anything to refute this time, Li Weiwei smiled slightly, knowing that the matter was settled.

That evening, Zhao Daxuan finished washing up early and sat on the bed in the master bedroom, turning the pages of a book by candlelight, hoping to learn more about the world from the books.

Zhao Daxuan didn't have many books at home, but he happened to have a travelogue, and he could only hope that the book contained enough information.

As Zhao Daxuan was engrossed in reading, the door creaked open from the outside and then closed again.

"Weiwei, you're here! Please have a seat and wait for me to finish reading this page of the book."

After Zhao Daxuan finished speaking but received no response, he turned his head in confusion to look at the door.

A beautiful woman wore a flowing and gorgeous blouse, the loose outer garment still unable to conceal her curvaceous figure.

Her long, flowing hair was pulled back, revealing a delicate face. The blush on her face added a captivating allure in the flickering candlelight.
