Chapter 218: Wenlan Pavilion's arrogance
"She has to marry, and she has to marry if she doesn't. When the sedan chair is coming, she is obedient, it's best, otherwise she will knock her out, stuff her into the sedan chair, and carry it over." Ye Fan said arrogantly.
The corner of the Zhaoping County Lord couldn't help but twitch, saying, "If you do this, you are not marrying, but making grudges. She will not live a peaceful life after marrying her, and will cause trouble for the family, so why bother?"
Ye Fan frowned and asked, "What do you mean is to let her be a concubine for Shu Hua?"
"I don't mean that. I feel that after raising her for many years, I have also developed some feelings. I hope she can have a good result."
Ye Fan paused slightly with his hands holding the teacup. Looking at the Lord of Zhaoping, there was a sigh in his eyes. This woman was kind and docile by nature. Although he tried his best to protect her over the years, when he was young, he was busy with city affairs and had no choice but to take care of her. She suffered several losses. She had changed her temperament and would also make some tricks. But she was not straightforward enough to do things and her heart was too soft. She curled her lips and just let her be soft. With him, she would help her do things she didn't want to do, and she would wait for the future.
He was gone, and the common affairs were left to his daughter-in-law to take care of him, so she didn't have to worry about it. Suddenly, a thought came out in her mind, and a scheming flashed in her eyes, saying, "If the girl in Ping is married to another family, she will become a person from another family, and beating and scolding is by others. She has no support from her parents. We are uncles and aunts, and it is not convenient to come forward. Let her be a concubine for Shuhua. With you protecting her, Yu Xian will be afraid of it. When she gives birth to a man and a woman, she will have a support for the rest of her life."
The county lord Zhaoping was surprised, "You don't want Hua'er to take a bottle as a concubine, why did you change your mind?"
"When did I say I didn't want to?"
The Zhaoping County Lord sneered and said, "If you want, please let me choose someone for her."
"I didn't know at that time that she wanted to be a concubine for Shuhua. Now that I know, I can't do this anymore." Ye Fan said lying with his eyes open.
When the Zhaoping County Lord saw that he looked like he was joking, his face slightly darkened, and said, "No, I don't agree with Hua'er taking the bottle as his concubine."
"Madam, I know that you treat Ping'er as love as your daughter. You want to find a good family for her. Our son's status, character and appearance are all first-class. It is the best match for Ping'er. That's it. Let Shu Hua take Ping'er as his concubine."
The Zhaoping County Lord snorted coldly and said, "City Lord, don't forget the letter Hua'er wrote before he got married. He didn't even want the concubines sent by the four countries. How could he ask for a bottle now?"
"One time and another time, how could he have only one woman around him who is the young city lord of Yingcheng? It is natural for a man to take a concubine. I will convince him about this."
When the county lord Zhaoping heard him say such remarks, he became angry and said angrily: "What kind of character is your son? I don't know what kind of character is, you, a father? If he had the intention to take a concubine, I wouldn't say anything, but the situation is obvious. If his son was willing to take a concubine, Dongyuan would have been full of people long ago. How could he delay his wife until he was twenty-four or fifteen years old? Now he has finally let go of his idea of becoming a monk, marrying a monk, having children, living a harmonious life, and living a peaceful and stable life. You actually want to stuff the bottle to your son as a concubine. Isn't this a disturbance to your son and his wife? Isn't this to make Dongyuan uneasy?"
After being scolded by the Zhaoping County Lord, Ye Fan's face was a little stiff. He didn't expect that the Zhaoping County Lord would be so disgusted with taking a concubine for Ye Shuhua. She had never opposed him so strongly back then, and persuaded her: "Madam, Shuhua is the young city lord, the future city lord. He has to consider his offspring and have more women around him to spread. This is also his responsibility. As his legitimate wife, taking concubines for his husband is what she should do. As a true wife, she must have the demeanor of being a true wife and be virtuous and generous. If she is not tolerant and only knows how to be jealous, you, a mother-in-law, should scold her fiercely."
Ye Fan's words made the heart of the county lord Zhaoping hurt. It is common for men to have three wives and four concubines, but in this world, which woman is willing to share her husband with others? When she first got married, she cried and quarreled when she saw those concubines, and was also scolded by her mother-in-law. In the end, she had to "virtuous and generous" and let Ye Fan take a concubine. Now she has become a mother-in-law. Do she want her jealous daughter-in-law to force her son to take a concubine? Her eyes were slightly dark, and she should not do to others what she did not want others to do to her. She lowered her eyelids and said lightly: "I don't care about this. You can do whatever you want. I'm tired, I want to rest."
As he said that, the county lord Zhaoping got up and walked towards the bedroom.
Ye Fan looked at her back and shook her head gently. The mother-in-law who didn't stuff someone into her son's room was rare in the world who was as biased as her daughter-in-law. Well, if she asked her to deal with this matter, she wouldn't handle it well. He would do it himself. He wanted to see how that girl would deal with it?
The next day, Ye Fan first arranged for Ye Shuhua to go out of the city to do business, and then sent someone to call Song Ruoxi to Wenlan Pavilion.
Song Ruoxi was not surprised. Ping'er forced her to die and said that she was deeply affectionate. Ye Fan and Zhaoping County Lord would definitely be moved. Moreover, in their perception, men should have a lot of wives and concubines. Ye Shuhua is not normal for this. Now letting her go over, we should convince her and let Ping'er enter. But why wasn't Zhaoping County Lord looking for her, but Ye Fan looking for her?
Song Ruoxi sat on her shoulder chariot and smiled coldly. No matter who looked for her, it didn't matter. What should come always comes. Ye Shuhua made her promise that she would do her own thing in this life. She believed that he was the one who would do what she said, and that he said that he was from the bottom of his heart, without any sting, but others would not agree. He only stayed with a woman for the rest of his life. This was a tough battle. She had to fight and had to win. She would never allow others to snore on the side of the bed.
The shoulder chariot stopped in front of Wenlan Pavilion, and the attendant reported to the inside, "City Lord, the young lady is here."
"Let her come in." Ye Fanzhong's full of breath came from the house.
Song Ruoxi, whose hands were hanging in her sleeve, clenched her fists, walked in, and bowed and said, "Daughter-in-law pays me a blessing to my father, my father will be rich."
"No need to be polite." Ye Fan pointed to the beech carved wreath chair at the bottom of the head, "sit down and talk."
Song Ruoxi walked over and sat down, lowered his eyebrows, looking soft and obedient.
The maid brought hot tea and stepped down.
Ye Fan said: "I like Red Crown Tea, please try it."
Song Ruoxi picked up the tea cup, savored the tea quietly, and waited for Ye Fan to continue talking.
Seeing that her expression was as normal, there was no trace of panic, a hint of praise flashed in Ye Fan's eyes. It was rare to be so calm at a young age. "How does this tea taste?"
"There is a little bitter when you enter the mouth. If you taste it carefully, it has a hint of sweetness." Song Ruoxi replied truthfully.
Ye Fan smiled, put down the book in his hand and asked, "Yuxian, do you know what I asked you to come today?"
"I don't know, please tell me my father." Song Ruoxi put down the teacup, stood up and bowed.
"You don't have to be too restrained, sit down and talk."
Song Ruoxi sat back again.
"Did you hear about Ping'er's incident?" Ye Fan went straight into it.
"I don't know what my father is referring to." Song Ruoxi pretended to be confused.
"Ping'er told your mother yesterday that she was willing to be a concubine for Shuhua."
Song Ruoxi pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Are you willing to do this?" According to etiquette, taking a concubine requires the consent of the wife, Ye Fan asked this question.
Song Ruoxi raised his eyes and looked at him, "I don't want to."
"Purchasing a concubine for your husband and adding children to your husband's family is one of the duties of being a wife. I didn't expect you to be so jealous." Ye Fan was furious and slapped the table, "Jealousy is a seven-thing. Do you want to be divorced from your parents' home?"
"I'm not jealous, I'm human nature. Every woman in this world has this kind of thought, hoping to find a husband who loves each other, cherishes her, and respects her for a lifetime, and only has two people, and stays with each other until old age. However, they dare not say such a wish. Under the oppression of ethics, they can only endure the pain and pretend to be virtuous, take one concubine after another for their husband, and then hide behind others and cry, feeling depressed." Song Ruoxi retorted without fear.
"After you say that, you are just jealous and refuse to let Shu Hua take a concubine." Ye Fan snorted coldly.
"Men and women are human beings. Men require women to live together, and men should live together."
"A man gets a wife and a woman gets a husband, and that's what it means to end."
Song Ruoxi sneered: "In terms of etiquette, it is indeed monogamous, but men can still take concubines."
"Wives and concubines are different. The wife is the marriage of husband. Concubine..." Ye Fan paused for a moment, and some words were difficult to say when the daughter-in-law said, "Men take concubines just to spread their branches and leaves, and have more children and more blessings."
Song Ruoxi curled his lips and sneered sarcastically, "What my father said is right. A man takes concubines to make branches and leaves, and he has more children and more blessings. But in fact, the branches and leaves are so scattered that he has more blessings, but it is not necessarily true that he has more blessings. The second young master's affairs are still in front of him. I don't want my son to live a very dangerous life like my husband, like his wife."
Ye Fan was so choked by this fact that he couldn't speak. He was silent for a while before saying, "You are so good at speaking."
"Thank you for your praise, my father." Song Ruoxi bowed.
Ye Fan stroked his beard and said, "Pinger's parents died, and his life experience is pitiful. She is also infatuated with Shuhua. If you insist on not letting her in, she will go to seek death. Life is at stake, so you should consider it carefully."
"No need to think about it. If she wants to seek death, let her die. I am a vulgar person, selfish and will never let myself down to help others."
"This is a life, how could you treat it so rashly?" Ye Fan asked righteously.
"What does my father miss his daughter-in-law?" Song Ruoxi heard the feeling. Ye Fan didn't really want to stuff the bottle to Ye Shuhua as a concubine, but had another purpose, so he was too lazy to go around him and asked directly.
"Do this matter properly." Ye Fan used these seven words to send Song Ruoxi away.
