The Challenge of a Farmhouse Son-in-Law

The Jie Family’s butler and eldest son were extremely busy and seldom involved in the household affairs, with all the major and minor matters in the house managed by the second son of the Jie Family and that concubine from the Du Family.

It wouldn’t have been a big deal to deny that Du Concubine entry, after all, in such grand households, only the male head of the household and his legitimate wife held sway. A concubine was merely a step above a servant. So, there was no complaint if a concubine was denied entry.

But they could hardly stop Jie’s second son from entering.

After all, Madam had come that day to ask for a favor, and Jie’s second son was the master of the house.

"Second Master Jie, please!"

Jie’s second son grimly took the Du Concubine by the hand and entered, and with the second master leading, those old women had no grounds to stop them, and could only let her pass.

Upon entering the flower hall, they saw Madam leisurely drinking tea and enjoying some pastries. Meanwhile, Miss Du was sitting by the window, earnestly embroidering something—a beautiful collar tie, upon closer inspection.

Jie’s second son stood awkwardly at the doorway, hand in hand with the Du Concubine, and everyone inside turned their heads to look at them.
