I never expected that after all the twists and turns, this marriage would still fall upon my head.
His mood was oppressively gloomy.
"Even if I marry her and ignore her, can I do that?"
The Netherworld King knew his temper, "If you want her to constantly run to her father complaining every other day, then you can certainly do so."
Xu Mohan left with a flick of his sleeve.
It went without saying, this was a dreadful affair, but it seemed there was no solution, no way to defy it.
He returned to Wangchuan Mountain, his expression continually grim.
Nan Yuesheng noticed this and brought him a cup of tea, "Mohan, what’s wrong?"
"Your face doesn’t look like it’s nothing." Nan Yuesheng set down the tea cup, "I brewed some chrysanthemum tea, to help cool down."
His gaze suddenly turned dark and obscure as he looked at her face, "Let me ask you a question, what do you think of ancient men having three wives and four concubines?"
Nan Yuesheng was taken aback and replied, "That was the common practice in those times, women had a low status, a man could marry several wives but demanded that women be confined indoors. However, I think a person has only one heart. A man marrying so many indicates he has no favorite wife; he finds all his wives fairly good." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel※fire.net
"If you were in that era, would you become someone’s concubine?"
"Being a concubine is just like being a mistress between a man and his legal wife, right? If in that era, I had no choice and was forced by my family, other than dying, my choice would be to become a concubine. I have thought it through now, being alive there’s still hope for happiness, once dead there’s truly nothing left."
"If no one forced you, but you loved that man, would you do it?"
"I wouldn’t." Nan Yuesheng replied without hesitation, "Two women fighting over a man, thinking about that kind of life makes me feel troubled, better not to."
"It seems you still have your own ideas." Xu Mohan took a few sips from the tea cup.
"Why are you suddenly asking me these questions?"
"After living for so many years and witnessing women from various dynasties, I just thought of those women and asked on a whim."
"I feel like you have something on your mind?"
"No." He said and then spoke on, "My official duties have become busy, I won’t be staying here often. It’s dangerous for you and your daughter to live here, the secluded environment is both good and bad. How about letting Seventh send some people over?"
Nan Yuesheng knew his noble status, he couldn’t stay every day with her, a nobody, so she said, "No need, besides going down the mountain to buy food, Ningyi and I do not leave the mountain. After the new year, Ningyi will start kindergarten, and I plan to find a job too. I’m young, I can’t always bother you and Yu Bei, by then I think I can’t stay here every day, I can only come occasionally."
Xu Mohan didn’t say anything more.
While Long Yubei and Gu Lili were enjoying sunbathing on the beach in Country G, they learned about the Heavenly King and Jun Xiangyi’s choice.
"Just like I said, it turned out to be the third brother who got hit." He set aside his phone, turned sideways, squinted at Gu Lili, "Do you feel like a big stone has been lifted from your heart?"
"You’re just being stubborn."
Gu Lili retorted, "Actually, after your analysis, I felt that your third brother couldn’t escape this, so I stopped thinking about it. Now it’s confirmed, your third brother has no choice, right?"
