Chapter 183 A Concubine is Better than a Mistress (1)_1
Pei Qin was to return to the Pei family first, and after recognizing Pei Zongli, Qian Wanxiu, as a Scholar, would perform the rites of a continuing wife and acknowledge her step-daughter.
This matter seemed easy to handle, but when it came to Pei Qin, it was not so simple. After all, Pei Qin had previously mentioned promoting a concubine to the principal wife.
However, Old Pei thought it was negotiable, and it was also a good opportunity to test Pei Qin – whether she really wanted to return to the Pei family or was just playing them again. Promoting a concubine to principal wife was too humiliating for Qian Wanxiu!
Such a demand had been made, and without needing Pei Qin to speak, Old Scholar Fang directly suppressed it with a sentence, "Even though the Pei family has produced a few literates and a rich family, you don’t even understand the basic rites and rules!?"
No matter if it’s a poor family or an aristocratic family, to marry a continuing wife, one must first pay respects to the spirit tablet of the principal wife to establish the order of seniority.
Old Pei opened his mouth to explain that they would follow the customs sooner or later.
Old Scholar Fang looked at him coldly, "What kind of family is this, leaving several children in your care? What kind of morals will you teach them!?"
Old Pei’s face turned dark with anger, and his eyes turned to Pei Qin. If it weren’t for the presence of the Fang Qian family, if they could just coax Da Ya and the others into agreeing, everything would have been easy!
