Early the next morning, Zhong Yi was invited to the Xiao family compound.

This was also what Xiao Xianchang asked. Before negotiating with Zhong Yi as a gentry in Yinjiang, he wanted to meet Zhong Yi in private and discuss some private matters.

"Mr. Xiao." Zhong Yi respectfully gave the junior greeting.

"Mayor Zhong doesn't have to be so polite." Xiao Xianchang waved his hand and said, "Please sit down."

"Mr. Xie." Zhong Yi said thank you, and then sat down with a golden sword.

Looking at Zhong Yi's straight figure, Xiao Xianchang nodded slightly, and his eyes showed admiration.

In fact, when I came to Zhong Yi today, Xiao Xianchang was really for personal matters. To be precise, Xiao Xianchang rushed back to his hometown in Yinjiang from Shanghai this time, because of this!

This matter is nothing else, it is Xiao Bing's marriage.

Since the incident in Yantou Village happened, no one in the entire Xiao family has been unaware of Xiao Bing's concerns.

Obviously, Xiao Bing has long been deeply in love with Zhong Yi and cannot be able to get out of it.

After Xiao Bing was discharged from the hospital that day, Xiao Xianen mentioned it and said that he wanted to make a marriage for her as soon as possible. As a result, Xiao Bing immediately forced her to death!

For this reason, the relationship between the father and daughter has become very stalemate.

If it weren't for this reason, Xiao Xianen wouldn't have invited Xiao Xianchang back from Shanghai.

Because compared to his father, Xiao Bing is more willing to listen to her eldest uncle Xiao Xianchang.

However, Xiao Xianen's attitude was still very firm and he firmly disagrees with Xiao Bing's marriage to Zhong Yi.

However, it is impossible to do a job from Xiao Bing, so I can only work hard from Zhong Yi.

Looking at Zhong Yi, Xiao Xianchang was a little hesitant for a moment. This was actually the second time the two met.

The two met once when Yuehu commercial land was publicly auctioned last time, but they were just in a hurry at that time and did not have a deep conversation, so they were not very impressed.

But now, the two faced each other at close range.

Looking at Zhong Yi, Xiao Xianchang couldn't help but nod.

Not to mention anything else, at least in terms of talent, Zhong Yi is really impeccable, so it is no wonder that his niece, who has always been above the top, would like to see him.

After stroking his beard, Xiao Xianchang said, "Mayor Zhong, I heard that you have a friendship with General Sun Liren?"

It was really hard to do something for Xiao Xianchang and be a good lobbyist. I also deliberately asked someone to check Zhong Yi's social circle and finally found a starting point like Sun Liren.

Zhong Yi felt a little confused and nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Fumin and I are the most familiar with each other."

Xiao Xianchang continued: "So Mayor Zhong knows that General Sun Liren married Aunt Fang's wife?"

Zhong Yi frowned and said, "This cannot be considered a concubine, right? As far as I know, Brother Fumin's original wife was arranged by her parents. There was no relationship between them, but he and Zhang Jingying were in a free relationship."

"Okay, even if General Sun Liren didn't marry his concubine." Xiao Xianchang waved his hand and said, "But among your senior generals of the Kuomintang, there are many people who marry a house or even a lot of concubines. What do you think about this?"

Zhong Yi said without hesitation: "This is a feudal remnant, which is inconsistent with the current era, so this bad habit should be abandoned. Moreover, the principal and his wife are also promoting the new life movement, so my point of view is very clear. Monogamy and multiple concubines are a great insult to women and should be firmly resisted."

Xiao Xianchang nodded slightly, but his thoughts became more firm.

Unlike Xiao Xianen, Xiao Xianchang actually agreed with Xiao Bing marrying Zhong Yi.

Although Zhong Yi has married the fifth lady of the Zhang family, so what? I can’t resist Xiao Bing’s liking!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Bing loves Zhong Yi to the core. If she insists on breaking her up and letting her marry other children, it will not only harm other children, but also Xiao Bing!

Once Xiao Bing finally cannot withstand the pressure of the family and marry and have children according to the arrangements at home, her ultimate fate is likely to be similar to Tang Wan, and she will die in depression in her infinite longing for the one she loves.

Xiao Xianchang didn't want his only niece to have a tragic ending like Tang Wan.

Zhong Yi's critical attitude towards traditional Chinese concepts of marriage further strengthened Xiao Xianchang's idea.

Xiao Xianchang was originally worried that Zhong Yi would despise Xiao Bing, but from Zhong Yi's attitude, it can be seen that this is a man who respects women very much, and he cannot feel any discrimination against women from him! This is rare!

Xiao Xianchang said now: "The system of monogamy and multiple concubines is indeed a great disrespect for women, but there is nothing absolute. Sometimes, you can still consider marrying an extra wife."

Zhong Yi was stunned when he heard this, thinking to himself whether Xiao Xianchang is idle, why did he talk about this to him?

But soon Zhong Yi realized that Xiao Xianchang was hinting at him and Xiao Bing?

At that moment, Zhong Yi hurriedly said: "Mr. Xiao, don't misunderstand it. Xiao Bing and I are innocent, and there is no ambiguity like the rumors outside..."

"I have watched Bing'er grow up since I was a child. I know better than anyone else's character." Xiao Xianchang waved his hand and interrupted Zhong Yi, and said, "So I believe that Mayor Zhong and her are innocent."

After a moment of pause, Xiao Xianchang said again: "But what I want to say is, Mayor Zhong, whether you are interested or unintentional, you have provoked Xiao Bing from our family. Now she has a deep love for you. It is impossible for her to marry another man in this life. What do you think should you do?"

"I..." Zhong Yi was speechless when he heard this.

He really doesn't know how to answer Xiao Xianchang's words.

After a snorting, Xiao Xianchang continued, "Originally, after the Wuhan Battle ended, Bing'er returned to her hometown in Yinjiang, and then she broke off contact with you. I believe that as long as she spends three or five years, she will gradually forget you. In this way, she may still marry and have children and live a normal life as a woman, but at this time you came to Yinjiang."

"You come to Yinjiang. As long as you don't come and provoke our Bing'er, there will be nothing wrong."

"But you shouldn't have been absolutely necessary, and you have asked him to be the Minister of Propaganda. Now, you two are facing each other day and fighting each other. Our Bing'er's old love has rekindled. Now this situation has become a mess. Mayor Zhong, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you. You must be responsible for this. You must give our family an explanation!"

The cold sweat fell from Zhong Yi's forehead and said, "Mr. Xiao, this..."
