It must be admitted that Madam Yun is a qualified matriarch.

She was also worried that if she dealt with these concubines too early, a few more might come to the Marquis's mansion to claim kinship, which would confuse the bloodline of the Marquis's mansion and cause a lot of trouble.

Half a month later, Lady Yun invited several of the best doctors from all over the city to come to the Marquis's residence to take the pulse of her concubine.

"Please don't be offended, fellow doctors. Our master has gone to the border to protect our homeland."

Even though there are many concubines in the family, none of them have conceived yet. Out of caution, I request that all the doctors take a joint pulse diagnosis.

If any of our concubines manages to conceive, they will be a great contributor to our household.

They've already said all that, so even if I was initially annoyed, I'm now convinced by Yun's noble character.

When choosing a wife, one should choose a virtuous one; Lady Yun, as the matriarch of the household, is a model of virtue.

The results of the pulse diagnosis revealed that none of the women were pregnant.

The household was not unaware of the commotion here. Receiving this result was certainly disappointing.

But nothing was found. Lady Qi was not resigned to this result and sent someone to invite a doctor, but the result was the same.

Only then did they believe that Yun was not faking it.

Since none of them were pregnant and there was no hope of them becoming mothers, the choices of the concubines were predictable.

When they first entered the Marquis's mansion, some were sold in, some were "forced" in because of their good looks, and of course, there were also those who were half-willing and half-forced.

Some married into wealth and status; in short, regardless of the circumstances, becoming He Chengshan's concubine now presents two different outcomes.

Either live like a living dead in this mansion, locked in a side courtyard to fend for yourself, or follow the arrangements of the mistress of the house, find someone to marry, and become someone's principal wife.

These women were indeed pragmatic and knew which situations were advantageous to them.

After all, they had spent their years in the secluded courtyard, and by the time He Chengshan returned, they were all old and faded.

She was just a concubine; how much pity could she expect from her husband? It wasn't that they didn't know what kind of person their husbands were.

Having figured it out, he took the initiative to approach Lady Yun and asked to be released from the manor or to marry someone else.

Yun's word is his bond.

She returned their indentures and introduced those who wanted to marry to men, including yamen runners, soldiers, shopkeepers with some money, and scholars.

In short, they were both single, and she had sent people to inquire about their character.

They were all young men, none of whom had ever been married.

Not only that, when her concubines got married, she gave each of them a dowry of 10 taels of silver.

Being able to do this means that, as a fellow woman, I am not making things difficult for other women.

Although Lady Qi had some reservations about this, she dared not say much.

After all, this daughter-in-law's eyes were really too sharp.

Marquis Haiping nearly dropped his teacup in fright. "Yun Shi, repeat what you just said. Tell me, where are you going?"

Yun knelt in the middle of the living room.

"Father, Mother, your daughter-in-law wants to go to the border. Wherever my husband is, that's where my daughter-in-law will be."

At this moment, Marquis Haiping was moved. He knew how heartless his son was to his legal wife.

“Yun, do you know that the environment over there is not good and there are often wars? You are a woman and have no strength to kill a chicken. What should you do if war breaks out?”

This matter is no child's play; it requires discussion between your father and in-laws before a decision can be made.

Marquis Haiping rarely spoke with such a gentle and pleasant expression. Now, the voice he was speaking was definitely lowered.

He was afraid of frightening his daughter-in-law.
