Chapter 537: Unpleasantness

He had encouraged her to do business, to open a tea business, rather than restrict her by telling her that she should just obey her husband.

With this as the basis, Qiao Xuan knew clearly that she was never going to find anyone else in this era that would treat her equally well.

Also, after spending much time with him, she had gradually started to like him.

She could not find anyone else like this if she left them.

But she suddenly realized one thing – the issue of wife and concubine.

She had been carefree and busy making food and money because she never had the concept of this problem. After all, she was not originally born in this era.

But now, this issue suddenly happened…

In this era, rich men often had concubines, more than one!

As long as he could afford them, he would have three or four concubines, or three or four maids as well as some sweethearts outside home.

As long as a man wanted it.

Shao Yunduan turned down Ms. Li Yun given by Ms. Mi Junior, but what about later?

Shao Yunduan was a smart guy. Ms. Mi Junior was up to no good, and he was not originally from a rich family, so before he became the officer, he would not accept the girl.

What about later?

Many people became arrogant and conceited after they were appointed as an officer.

It was a fact. People changed. They were true-hearted when the conditions were the same, but who knew whether they would still remain the same when conditions changed.

Maybe Qiao Xuan had to accept his concubine being his wife. Else she would just be labeled ‘unvirtuous’, and blamed by her mother-in-law, and by those from the Shao Family, friends and relatives.

She did not care about the reputation. But she did not want to deal with such accusations.

She did not want to be blamed by others or let such things ruin her day.

Also, what if Shao Yunduan himself wanted to have concubines… She could not drive them away by threatening him!

If his superiors and fellows gave him beautiful girls, how could he turn them down, and how many times could he turn them down?

The refusal might affect his career.

Would he rather give up his career?

Even if he failed to become an officer, he might still have concubines when he became rich.

Qiao Xuan felt really distressed as she thought about this.

Men…

Life was going to be so hard!

She had thought that she was lucky enough to have a good mother-in-law and a good family as well as a good man, but there was this hidden, huge problem in front of her.

So annoying!

Qiao Xuan looked up at Shao Yunduan and felt distressed.

Shao Yunduan also sensed something weird going on with her. He felt very confused and anxious, thinking that it must be something to do with him. But he also hoped that it was not his fault. Yet the feeling was getting weirder than before.

He could not help but observe Qiao Xuan, and then he saw Qiao Xuan’s look of grudge.

Shao Yunduan was startled.

“What is going on, Darling?”

What was going on?

Qiao Xuan snorted and suddenly felt sourness attacking her, as if she were already the wife without virtue, who was blamed by everyone in the neighborhood. She almost burst into tears.

Shao Yunduan panicked.. “What happened… darling, please, don’t, don’t cry!’
