Chapter 301 Conditions for Taking a Concubine
After seeing Shui Lianlian, Song Ci felt extremely irritated and lost her patience with the old master of the Song Family who followed her in. As he was about to speak, she raised her hand.
"If you want to take her as a concubine, fine."
She’s just a plaything. Why bother arguing with him as long as he agrees to her conditions?
The old master of the Song Family felt a surge of joy: "You agree?"
Seeing his face light up with joy, Song Ci snorted coldly and said, "I agree, as long as she’s willing to take the infertility medicine, I’ll agree to let her into the household."
What?
The old master of the Song Family’s face changed: "What did you say, infertility medicine? You old woman, you’re also a woman. How can you be so ruthless?"
"You also know I’m a woman. Why don’t you know what women hate the most? Why should she come and share my husband and expect to bear a bunch of kids to split the inheritance with my son? Am I supposed to be overjoyed? You should ask around the entire Great Qing Country, which woman would be willing?"
The old master of the Song Family was at a loss for words.
"Have her take the infertility medicine, and I’ll agree to you taking her as a concubine." Song Ci sat down, speaking slowly and methodically: "You already have four sons and a daughter. Not counting grandsons, there are also seven or eight grandchildren, all legitimate. In the future, you’ll have plenty of filial grandsons and granddaughters to look after your old age, carry your legacy, and buy water for your funeral. There’s no need to add any more illegitimate children."
That makes sense, yet something feels off about it.
The old master of the Song Family pursed his lips: "She’s also a woman. It’s too pitiful for her not to be a mother."
Song Ci sneered: "Selling herself to bury her father, if she can sell herself, she should have thought about what her fate would be. If she truly wants to repay her debts and be a mother, she could serve you as a maid and find another marriage later. Why bother becoming a concubine?"
