Chapter 433 - 303 The Truth About Being Unkind to Son and Daughter-in-law_2
They both returned to the room, and although Mrs. Lai was unsure if this was something she shouldn’t hear, she feared that her husband might secretly promise Hongji more dowry.
Hongji’s father and son came to his bedroom and were just about to close the door when they saw Mrs. Lai wanting to enter. They initially wanted to refuse but eventually agreed to let her in.
Mrs. Lai, not listening now, would just keep stirring things up, which wouldn’t be good, and as the legitimate wife, she would be the one to whom the concubine had to serve tea in the future!
When Hongji saw his parents actually closing the bedroom door, he later heard about this significant matter.
He thought he had heard wrong. His father, who seemed so honest, how could he think of taking a concubine once he visited his mother’s family home?
Taking a concubine would not require such a large dowry; his mother’s reluctant demeanor also didn’t seem like she had agreed to it.
Upon inquiring, the candidate for his father’s concubine, wasn’t it the woman, from two years ago, whom his mother and he had discussed taking as a concubine?
Over the past two years, his mother had secretly mentioned it to him several times, but he had never agreed.
