護花近衛 - 第591章 頂級沈雨舒 - 墨香閣

As she spoke, Gu Mengyao shoved Shen Yushu out in front of her, and Shen Yushu — Gu Mengyao's bosom friend, and perfectly in sync with her at this moment — thrust out her chest and gave a smug little smirk. "See that? You can't match it, can you?"

"And what business is it of yours? It's not as if Wei Zhao gets to touch you." Tang Yun found it rather funny. Gu Mengyao couldn't beat her on her own merits, but surely she couldn't just substitute another woman in her place?

"Why couldn't he? Brother Arrow touches me all the time! He even kisses me!" Shen Yushu looked at Tang Yun as though she were hopelessly ignorant, her eyes dripping with contempt.

"Touches you? Kisses you?" Tang Yun wasn't buying it. This was altogether too absurd. Wei Zhao was Gu Mengyao's fiancé, and that she could just about swallow — but for Wei Zhao to be involved not only with Gu Mengyao but with Shen Yushu as well was a bit too outlandish.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you earlier — Sister Yao-yao is Brother Arrow's senior wife, and I'm his junior wife! Buy one, get one free. Quite the bargain!" That said, Shen Yushu winked at Gu Mengyao. "Isn't that right, Sister Yao-yao?"

"That's right! That is exactly how it is. We agreed on this long ago!" Gu Mengyao nodded and said it with a perfectly straight face.

"What?" This time Tang Yun was well and truly floored. What kind of logic was this? A senior wife and a junior wife — and the crux of it was that Gu Mengyao actually accepted the arrangement. Either this was a farce, Tang Yun decided, or those two had something wrong with their heads.

As for herself becoming Wei Zhao's junior wife, Tang Yun thought such a thing might conceivably come to pass. Her family circumstances were what they were, after all, and she liked Wei Zhao so much, and Wei Zhao had taken a wound for her sake. For a man who would give so much for her, she would accept it even as a junior wife!

At the very least, Wei Zhao genuinely cared for her. So long as he treated her well, Tang Yun could bring herself to accept it.

But Shen Yushu as Wei Zhao's junior wife? Tang Yun could not, no matter how she tried, find that plausible. What sort of family did Shen Yushu come from? She too was a young lady of consequence; her brother was a major, and her family background was wrapped in the deepest mystery. She and Gu Mengyao were, you might say, the two darlings of heaven at their school. How could those two possibly share one husband?

So Tang Yun's first thought was that the pair had joined forces to dupe her, and after the first shock she was disinclined to believe a word of it. "Senior wife, junior wife?" she said, not without sarcasm. "You two really are creative!"

"That's right. So how about it — jealous?" Shen Yushu seemed not to have caught the mockery in Tang Yun's words, and went blithely on: "Yao-yao and I are both generous sorts. Even if you're Wei Zhao's girlfriend, you can only be a junior wife... no, the number-two junior wife. I'm the number-one junior wife!"

Shen Yushu's words made even Gu Mengyao sweat. Have you no sense of shame at all? Still, it was thanks to this clown Shen Yushu; without her, Gu Mengyao might truly have lost the field.

"..." Tang Yun was left speechless. How could there be a person this shameless? Senior wife, junior wife — was that some sort of honor? This Shen Yushu plainly had no idea what shame even meant, and Tang Yun simply could not out-argue her. Yet to be beaten just like that — how could Tang Yun swallow it? She glared at Shen Yushu. "Senior wife, junior wife? There's such a thing as first come, first served! I've already been to bed with Wei Zhao — so what does that make you two? All name and no substance!"

"Gah!" Liu Xinwen was frightened half to death. Yun-yun and Wei Zhao had already gone that far? Already slept together? Good heavens, wasn't that fast!
