Chapter 278 Madam, I Strongly Agree
After comforting the two children and instructing someone to send them to the family school, Song Ci’s smile faded.
What happened on Lu’s side to frighten the children like this?
"Madam."
Song Ci looked up and said, "What’s going on?"
Nanny Gong stepped forward and said, "Yesterday, someone from Third Master’s side came to deliver gifts for the Autumn Festival, but the servant who came was a new face."
"That’s it?"
Nanny Gong curled her lip disdainfully, "Of course not." She bent slightly and her voice lowered, "It’s said that Third Master has found someone new over in Datong."
Song Ci’s hand paused in manipulating the sandalwood incense, and she scoffed, "No wonder, for a woman, besides this, nothing else could cause such a huge emotional fluctuation."
Nanny Gong replied, "It’s said to be the cousin of the Deputy Magistrate’s wife in Datong."
"So, does that mean he has already brought her into the mansion as a concubine?" Song Ci chuckled softly and then said, "But that can’t be right, doesn’t taking a concubine require the Official Wife’s consent?"
In this era, to take a concubine, if the Official Wife does not agree, you can’t enter through this gate. Even if the man acts arbitrarily without the Official Wife’s consent and takes someone, she can only be considered an outside woman.
And an outside woman is mocked by others. The reputation of an outside woman is even worse than that of a concubine’s child, and the family will not recognize them.
