Lu Lili also took the initiative to greet the three girls and introduced herself as Lu Xingjiang’s younger sister.
Upon hearing this, the three girls simultaneously revealed a pleasant smile and showed a much more respectful attitude towards Lu Lili.
The three of them bowed together and said, “The humble ones pay respects to Her Royal Highness the Princess.”
They all knew that Lu Xingjiang was a prince, so his younger sister would naturally be a princess.
Such an enviable status indeed.
However, when they thought about the fact that if they were princesses, they couldn’t be together with Lu Xingjiang anymore, they immediately stopped feeling envious.
Lu Lili quickly helped them up and said, “You don’t need to be like this, just call me by my name.”
After all, in the future, they would all be her sisters-in-law.
The five of them walked downstairs and out of the door together. The three girls consciously walked behind, deliberately letting the two people with royal status to walk ahead.
However, this was not what Lu Xingjiang wanted.
In the martial world, the strong always prevailed, regardless of their status or nobility.
He insisted on walking side by side with the three girls, not wanting to be special.
The bright and lively young man, with his witty and humorous demeanor, attracted the admiring and touched gazes of the three girls.
Finding herself walking at the back and feeling insignificant, Lu Lili sighed, “…”
Well, this situation might become common in the future, and it’s fine for her to watch them from behind.
The delicate Miss Mu was a girl from a destitute merchant family. She was about to be sold to a brothel when she was fortunate enough to be redeemed and saved by Lu Xingjiang.
Homeless and unable to support herself, Miss Mu had no choice but to follow Lu Xingjiang, her savior, and was willing to serve him as a servant.
She was the first girl that Lu Xingjiang saved after leaving the palace.
Faced with the girl’s teary eyes, Lu Xingjiang couldn’t help but soften his heart and agreed to let her follow him.
Shortly after, he encountered Miss Li, a girl who sold herself to bury her deceased mother. Lu Xingjiang helped her properly bury her mother.
Similarly homeless and unable to support herself, Miss Li developed admiration for Lu Xingjiang, who had bought her, and expressed her willingness to be his servant.
The group of two became three, and later they encountered Miss Yun, a girl who had been injured by bandits.
Miss Yun’s story was somewhat different. Her greedy parents arranged for her to marry an old man for a generous dowry, but she refused and ran away.
Since she had prepared in advance before running away, she had some valuables on her, which caught the attention of the bandits.
After being chased away by the bandits but rescued by Lu Xingjiang, Miss Yun felt that Lu Xingjiang was the man she wanted to marry in her dreams. So she was willing to stay by his side and didn’t want to leave.
Thus, the group of three became a group of four.
The three girls, who were around the same age and equally beautiful, were able to get along harmoniously for the same man and the same goal, without any conflicts arising.
Therefore, this is a fictional ancient setting with a relatively open-minded society.
From the fact that there are many women willingly choosing to be with the male lead, it can be inferred that women have the freedom to choose their own husbands.
They don’t have to wait for arranged marriages or be bound by parental orders, marrying someone they have never met or do not love at all.
However, the age of marriage is still quite young. Girls can get married as early as 14, and boys as early as 16.
None of these three girls are older than 17.
When Lu Lili thought about this, she couldn’t help but think of Pei Yijian. She seemed to have forgotten to ask him if he was already married.
With these thoughts, Lu Lili followed the four people ahead and met up with the three waiting outside the inn.
Its fictional indeed, how can it be that good irl
Thank you for update 🏝️
