Kill the enemy and get a wife? I'll single-handedly slaughter my way through the Northern Barba

The following night, the warm lights in the Yichun Courtyard cast a soft glow.

Su Wan'er walked briskly, bringing over the pastries she had just asked someone to buy from Rongyuezhai, and brewing a pot of fresh tea, before gracefully approaching Lin Feng.

"Second Brother, these are cakes that I asked someone to buy from Rongyuezhai. Please try them."

Her eyes crinkled into crescents, and her voice was as gentle as cotton: "If it suits your taste, I'll have someone prepare more next time."

It was common knowledge in the Yichun Brothel that Su Wan'er was Lin Feng's woman.

The madam, Yunniang, was very sensible and never arranged any more guests for Su Wan'er, and no one else dared to provoke her.

"Wan'er, stop busy."

Lin Feng reached out and took her slender, cool wrist, his tone filled with affection: "Come sit down, I have something to tell you."

Su Wan'er obediently sat down next to him, her almond-shaped eyes filled with curiosity as she gazed at Lin Feng, and asked softly, "What are your orders, Second Brother?"

Lin Feng smiled slightly and said slowly, "Before I came to Yichun Courtyard, I spent some money to ask a famous fortune teller in the city to choose an auspicious date. The fortune teller said that the end of August is the most auspicious day, suitable for marriage."

Su Wan'er's heart clenched suddenly, and then began to pound wildly.

Her eyes were filled with disbelief, and her voice trembled slightly: "Erlang, you mean... the wedding date is to be set for the end of August?"

From the day she learned that Lin Feng would marry her, Su Wan'er had been looking forward to this day and night.

She never imagined that this happiness would come so unexpectedly.

Lin Feng nodded slowly, gripped her cold little hand tightly, and said firmly, "I have already reported the wedding date to Military Advisor Wu. As you know, the Northern Barbarians are launching a fierce offensive, and the situation is unstable."

"Therefore, my marriage to you, Yuwei, and me will be held tonight, and all my brothers in the army will come to witness it."

Tears instantly filled Su Wan'er's eyes. She bit her lip, trying to suppress her sobs, and said, "I will do whatever you say, Erlang. Whenever you say it will be done, it will be done."

Seeing her tears, Lin Feng gently wiped them away from her cheeks.

"Silly girl, this is great news, why are you crying?"

"From now on, we should live with smiles; our lives will only get better and better."

These words completely shattered Su Wan'er's emotional defenses. She threw herself into Lin Feng's arms and burst into tears.

There was no trace of grievance in those cries, only long-suppressed joy and relief.

In the past, Su Wan'er always felt that her life was ruined.

She mistakenly entered a brothel during the chaos of war and suffered discrimination from others because of her heterochromia.

Even the guests who came to the brothel thought she was unlucky and didn't want to order her.

Until that day, Lin Feng appeared.

He didn't mind her heterochromia, was willing to accept her past, and treated her with utmost care and consideration.

Su Wan'er finally had something to look forward to, and she hoped every day that Lin Feng would come to see her.

Later, when she saw that the courtesan Song Yuwei also favored Lin Feng, she was filled with fear, afraid that Lin Feng would despise her.

But Raymond Lam has never changed his mind, and now he wants to marry her in a grand and glorious way.

This favor brought her to tears of joy.

Lin Feng gently patted her back and patiently comforted her for a long time before Su Wan'er gradually stopped crying.

"Alright, Wan'er, I need to go to the third floor and tell Yuwei this news."

Lin Feng patted her shoulder and got up to leave.

"Jiro..."

Su Wan'er reluctantly tugged at his sleeve, her cheeks flushed, her voice barely audible: "Will you... come again tonight?"

Lin Feng chuckled and reached out to flick her nose: "Come on in, but it'll be a little late. Remember to leave the door open for me."

Su Wan'er nodded shyly and responded softly with an "Mmm".

Once Lin Feng's figure disappeared through the doorway, she could no longer contain her joy. She hummed an unknown tune, and the smile in her eyes never faded.

[Su Wan'er's favorability +3]

On the third floor of Yichun Courtyard, upon hearing the news, Song Yuwei's beautiful eyes instantly filled with surprise as she stared blankly at Lin Feng.

"Lin Lang, has the wedding date really been set?"

"It's settled, at the end of August."

Lin Feng took her hand and said with a smile, "It's been exactly nine days since today, enough time for you and Wan'er to prepare at your leisure."

Song Yuwei leaned closer, her breath sweet as orchids: "Lin Lang, there's something I want to tell you."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement: "Go ahead, I'm listening."

Song Yuwei took a deep breath, a hint of sadness flashing across her brows, and slowly said, "I am originally from the capital. My father once served as an official in the Censorate. A year ago, my father offended Cao Hui, the Commissioner of the Court of Judicial Review, for speaking frankly and offering advice."

Cao Hui?

Lin Feng frowned slightly, already having a vague idea in his mind, and asked, "And then?"

"Cao Hui held great power and was a protégé of Prime Minister Wang Jin, so he fabricated charges against his father and imprisoned him."

Song Yuwei's voice grew lower and lower, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"After hearing the news, my mother fell ill and passed away not long after."

"But Cao Hui still refused to give up and sent people to persecute the remnants of the Song family everywhere."

"With no other choice, I fled the capital with my maid Cherry, wandering all the way to Zhenyuan City, and finally took refuge in this Yichun Courtyard."

These words resolved the long-standing doubts in Lin Feng's mind.

He had long sensed that Song Yuwei was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and prose, and possessed an extraordinary demeanor, far from being an ordinary woman.

It turns out she was the daughter of an official, but her family fell into poverty and she ended up in this situation.

Song Yuwei looked up at Lin Feng, her eyes flickering with a mixture of unease and anticipation.

"After Lin Lang knows all this, will he still be willing to marry me?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng laughed loudly, his tone incredibly firm: "Why wouldn't I? I not only want to marry you, but I also want everyone in Zhenyuan City to know!"

"He's just a mere Envoy of the Court of Judicial Review; his influence doesn't even extend to Zhenyuan City!"

A warm feeling welled up in Song Yuwei's heart, but her worries had not completely dissipated.

"Young Master Lin, you may not know this, but Cao Hui is arrogant and domineering. He is a core member of the Prime Minister's faction and wields immense power..."

Lin Feng raised his hand and stroked her cheek, his voice firm and resolute: "Yuwei, no matter what you've been through in the past, from this day forward, you belong to me, Lin Feng!"

"I will protect you, believe me!"

Simple words shattered all of Song Yuwei's concerns.

Her eyes reddened, and she said softly, "It is my greatest fortune to have met Lin Lang."

Lin Feng embraced her and whispered, "Meeting you is my good fortune."

The two nestled together by the window, gazing at the starry sky for a long, long time…

When news of Raymond Lam's wedding date spread, many of his friends came to offer their congratulations.

However, upon hearing that he was going to marry the courtesan Song Yuwei and another woman surnamed Su from the Yichun Courtyard, many people gossiped behind his back.

They all felt that Lin Feng, a promising centurion, was simply incompetent to marry two courtesans.

However, with the flames of war raging and the northern barbarians launching daily attacks on Zhenyuan City, people's attention was quickly drawn to the battle, and no one had the energy to discuss Lin Feng's marriage anymore.

After all, his life was hanging by a thread, so who cared who Raymond Lam married!
