Chapter 138: A Woman Disguised as a Man (shuhaige.net)

Once Zhu Tao thought about it, he became interested in this female colleague who was disguised as a man, his "younger brother". Since coming to ancient times, he had never seen a lady from a prominent family appear openly and honestly, which was very different from his imagination of having three wives and four concubines and being surrounded by women.

He kept two concubines in his residence in the capital. At first, he was very happy. After all, no man would complain about having too many women. Modern society advocates gender equality, and if people found out that he was having affairs with two women, he would be condemned.

Having come to ancient times, he naturally didn't have such concerns. At first, the two concubines were quite well-behaved, but recently he's been driven crazy by them.

Jealousy and rivalry are common among men. Although he is a man, he has been exposed to the poisons of modern information and knows about hypocrites and manipulative women. Therefore, he cannot believe everything anyone says.

He had run out of patience with his two concubines and had no choice but to send them away. He had been busy with the pinyin dictionary lately, and his interest in women had waned.

For men, career is more important.

Of course, although he was traumatized by his two concubines, he still had some expectations for his future wife and naturally hoped to marry a beautiful woman and have both a son and a daughter.

Because he was preoccupied with something, Zhu Tao was a little distracted. Coincidentally, when he was distracted, his gaze fell on Yun Qing, who was flustered by his gaze.

Her face flushed even more with embarrassment.

Yunqi hadn't paid much attention to Zhu Tao and his sister's situation. His sister was dressed as a man today, and he hadn't planned to do anything about it, at most just let his sister meet Zhu Tao.

Chen Lianming was a meticulous person, and he noticed that Zhu Tao was lost in thought. The two had been working together recently and got along well, so he jokingly asked, "What are you thinking about, Yingjie? You're so engrossed."

Zhu Tao came to his senses and said, "My parents are coming to visit soon. I was thinking of going to the servants' shop to find some servants to take care of them. Before my parents came, I left behind a family of servants from our hometown and dismissed the rest. Now that they have settled down in the capital, I can't wait until my parents arrive to find servants to take care of them."

Upon hearing Zhu Tao's words, Chen Lianming thought of his own current situation. His wife and children would be arriving soon, so he began making preparations for them.

Chen Lianming: "This matter really can't wait. I happen to be short of servants. If Yingjie doesn't mind, let's go to the brothel together."

Zhu Tao naturally had no objections.

Hearing what the two said, Yunqi's mind started to work. Chen Lianming and Zhu Tao were relatively unfamiliar with the capital, but he still had some connections there.
