A divine healer, a general, a young marquis! Who can rival them!

As the sun sets and dusk falls, the sky gradually darkens.

Yang Hu then led the two women back to his small courtyard, which was enclosed by earthen walls.

"This is my home. Please bear with it as it is rather simple."

Lu Rou helped her sister up, and the two looked around.

Although the courtyard was not large, it was clean and tidy. There were dried herbs on the thatched shed and the table, which filled the air with a faint herbal scent.

There wasn't much furniture in the house, just a wooden bed, three or four rattan chairs, and several baskets. The most valuable things in both houses were probably the herbs whose uses were unknown.

"I usually live in the main room, but I'll tidy up the side room for you. Just use straw mats for the next few days, and I'll have a carpenter in town make you a bed in a few days."

As Yang Hu tidied up, he explained, "There's not much here on the frontier, so it's naturally unlike what you have in the Central Plains. Don't be offended."

"It's already an immense kindness that you've taken us sisters in, sir. How could we possibly complain?" Lu Yan quickly replied.

Yang Hu boiled a kettle of water and took out two of his own clothes: "There's hot water in the kitchen, you two can wash up."

The two sisters thanked her profusely and went into the side room.

About the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the door to the side room opened.

Yang Hu was squatting in front of the medicine shed, sorting through the medicinal herbs, when he looked up and froze.

Two girls walked out one after the other.

The person in front is Lu Rou, revealing a delicate face. Although the sun and wind have made her skin a little dry, it still doesn't diminish her charm.

Although Lu Yan looked somewhat sickly, her beauty was even more striking. Even without makeup, she was stunning. The two sisters were beautiful in their own unique ways, each with their own charm.

For a moment, Yang Hu was at a loss for words.

"grown ups?"

Seeing Yang Hu staring blankly at her sister, Lu Rou couldn't help but call out softly.

Yang Hu immediately snapped out of his daze and coughed lightly, "You don't look like ordinary maids, do you?"

Before Yang Hu could continue speaking, Lu Rou bit her lip and knelt down with a thud.

"Please understand, sir, I have indeed deceived you." Lu Rou explained with red eyes, "Actually, I am not Miss's sister, and Miss is not a maid from a wealthy family, but a young lady from the Duke of Lu's mansion."

Yang Hu raised an eyebrow, not expecting such an unexpected gain.

But this isn't necessarily a good thing. If those two women have any secrets, I might get implicated.

"In the past, Duke Lu was framed by villains and his entire family was executed. The Duke risked his life to send his daughter out so that she could change into my clothes and disguise herself as a maid. We fled all the way, but we were still captured by the soldiers and exiled here as criminals."

With that, Lu Rou kowtowed deeply, expressing her gratitude: "If it weren't for your intervention today, Miss would likely be in grave danger. Thank you so much for saving my life!"

Looking at the two beautiful women in front of him, Yang Hu revealed one of his rare smiles.

For the border region, issues like Lu Rou's were not a problem at all; they were even worried about what the two of them were carrying.

If it were just this identity, no one would care, especially since he had also gained two beautiful wives for free.

"Young master."

Lu Yan had somehow appeared in front of Yang Hu and thanked him in return, saying, "Lu Yan thanks you for saving our lives, young master. Now that you have bought my sister and me, you are our master. Although I come from a noble family, I am now a criminal. If you do not mind, young master, my sister and I are willing to marry you and become your wives."

Yang Hu smiled and waved her hand, saying, "We're husband and wife, so what's this talk about disliking or not disliking each other? As for catching a cold, it's just a minor matter for your husband."

As he spoke, Yang Hu turned around and grabbed a few herbs from the medicine shed, instructing, "Take these and decoct them first. Drink them to induce sweating, and keep most of them safe tomorrow."

"Thank you, young master."

Lu Rou took the medicine bag and helped her sister into the side bedroom to rest.

As night deepened, Lu Rou personally prepared the medicine and fed it to her sister before quietly withdrawing from the room.

"My lord, my daughter has arrived."

Lu Rou stood in front of Yang Hu, head bowed, and explained, "Sister is asleep. This servant will help you rest."

Yang Hu glanced at her, and without any hesitation, pulled her into his arms, feeling her burning body.

"My lord, my daughter..."

"Don't call me 'sir,' call me 'husband.'"

That night, the side room was filled with the warmth of spring, the candlelight burned out, and soft singing continued until dawn.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Yang Hu finished dressing and was preparing to brew medicine for Lu Yan when the door was suddenly kicked open. Fatty Wang strode in, arrogant and domineering.

"Oh my, this young lady is really good-looking, no wonder she comes from a wealthy family."

"Dr. Yang, you can't possibly take care of everyone all by yourself. Why don't you share some with me so I can have some fun too?"

Fatty Wang glanced at Lu Rou next to Yang Hu, his eyes shining like a hungry wolf, and he almost drooled.

Lu Rou was startled and instinctively hid behind Yang Hu.

Yang Hu frowned, his face darkening: "Fatty Wang, are you tired of living?"

This man was Wang Pangzi, the village bully. He did all sorts of evil deeds, bullying men and women, because he had some connection with the border troops.

Normally, Yang Hu had no contact with this guy, and because he was the only doctor in the village, this guy didn't dare to act recklessly in front of him. But after Yang Hu married two wives from the city, this guy came to his door in the morning.

"Oh ho? You think you're so great, huh!"

Seeing that Yang Hu had nothing to say, Fatty Wang immediately rolled up his sleeves: "Then I'll beat you until you submit today!"

As he spoke, he swung his fist, as big as a sandbag, straight at Yang Hu's face.

Lu Rou and Lu Yan both cried out in surprise.

Yang Hu remained calm. He precisely grasped the acupoint on Wang Pangzi's wrist with his right hand and pressed down hard with his thumb!

"ah!!!"

In an instant, Fatty Wang screamed and fell to his knees, his entire arm aching, numb, and painful.

"What the hell did you do to me?!"

Fatty Wang grimaced in pain.

Yang Hu squatted down, smiling as he looked at Fatty Wang and said, "It's nothing, I just put a curse on you. Anyone under this curse will feel pain if I want to."

As he spoke, Yang Hu casually pressed on Fatty Wang's shoulder again.

"Aaaaaah!!"

This time, Fatty Wang was in so much pain that he rolled on the ground, sweating profusely.

"It hurts so much! Spare me! Grandpa Yang, spare me!"

Yang Hu snorted coldly and said, "Bring me three taels of silver tomorrow at dusk, and I'll give you the antidote then. Otherwise, I guarantee I'll make you wish you were dead."

"I'll give it to you! I'll bring it tomorrow! Lord Yang, please be magnanimous and spare me this time!"

Fatty Wang kowtowed repeatedly, his face covered in tears and snot.

"Then why don't you hurry up and get lost?"

Fatty Wang scrambled away, and the courtyard fell silent once more.

Lu Rou and Lu Yan stood at the door, staring wide-eyed at Yang Hu, their faces full of disbelief.

"Young master, you also know magic?" Lu Rou asked cautiously.

Yang Hu patted the dust off his hands and said casually, "It's just a little trick. Today I'm going to the mountain to pick a medicine for Yan'er. You two stay in the house and don't wander around."
