“Just now, I noticed your astonished eyes, and you must have picked up on the commotion in the room,” Shen Yun said with certainty.

Su Qingyue nodded lightly.

There was a brief silence between them.

Shen Yun finally began, “Yue’er, your Dad went into the room with another woman right in front of me, what do you think about that?”

She spread her hands, her expression clearly conveying: It’s none of my business.

A lonely look emerged in Shen Yun’s eyes, “I was born into a wealthy family in the capital city, well-versed in women’s disciplines from childhood and taught about women’s virtues, demeanor, and dutiesaEUR| Although the Shen Family is affluent, it still married above its station to the hundred-year-old Xiao Family.

After I married into the family, your Dad took six concubines.

Two of them died, and two were divorced by your Dad, leaving two in the Mansion in the capital.

At first, when your Dad took the first concubine, I truly cried for three days and nights.

When he took the second, I cried for one day and one night, and by the time he took the third, I couldn’t shed a single tear anymore.”

Su Qingyue listened quietly to her tale of hardship, thinking that this old granny had been playing the innocent for so long, it was about time she ‘showed her true colors’.

However, she had not expected her not to simply persuade for the sake of it, but to argue her case by sharing her own example.

Without guessing, she knew that Shen Yun would definitely suggest her becoming Xiao Yuchuan’s concubine next.

“Later on, aside from the formally taken concubines, your Dad had many other women,” Shen Yun stated with a laugh that seemed indifferent, her crow’s feet piling up at the corners of her eyes.

“As the main wife, how could I not be jealous?

But what could my jealousy change?

With nothing but my status as a daughter from an ordinary wealthy family, if your Dad became dissatisfied with me, he could use one of the Seven Grounds for Divorce to send me away.

If I were sent back to my family, how could I face living?

I wouldn’t give him that chance; to make a place for myself in the Xiao Family, I had to become a magnanimous Lady Xiao.

The Xiao Family is vast and indeed needs more women to add branches to the family tree.

I learned to share, to turn a blind eye.”

Shen Yun had thought that Su Qingyue would say some words of comfort, but instead she saw her quietly drinking tea.

A bit of anger surged in Shen Yun’s heart, yet her face displayed sentimental sorrow, “We women must learn to accept our fate.

Yue’er, your Grandma is treating you like her own daughter by trusting you with these heartfelt words.”

“Are you finished?” Qingyue asked lightly.

Shen Yun’s aged face stiffened, “I haven’t even gotten to the main point.”

“Let’s speak plainly,” Su Qingyue said succinctly.

“Your so-called main point is for Xiao Yuchuan to accept other women.

Oh no, your son might not listen to you, are you asking me to persuade Xiao Yuchuan to accept Gongsun Qianru and then selflessly offer myself to be demoted to a concubine?”

Seeing that Su Qingyue’s eyes were bright and clear, evidently a sensible woman, Shen Yun said, “So you already knew what I was thinking.

Then I won’t beat around the bush; this is both your Dad’s wish and mine.”

“Impossible,” Su Qingyue replied succinctly with three words.

“Impossible what?” Shen Yun’s demeanor darkened with a tinge of hidden anger.

Su Qingyue declared confidently, “I don’t care if your talk of endurance and sharing is all just a bunch of nonsense, I, Su Qingyue, will neither be a concubine nor will I allow him to touch other women!”

“You!” Shen Yun’s face darkened, “Su Qingyue, I am speaking to you nicely.

I myself, born a young Miss from a wealthy family, and honored as the family head of the Xiao Family, still do not have the luxury of monopolizing my husband, yet you, a rural village woman, have the audacity to step out of line!”
