After a while.
Old Master Wan looked him up and down with a strange look in his eyes. "Zhuliu, are you serious?"
The Wan family has few members, and this has always been a concern for the old man.
He was naturally happy that Wan Zhuliu was willing to marry more wives and concubines.
But he didn't know how prosperous the Wan family was now.
If Wan Zhuliu's children were born, I'm afraid the Wan Mansion would have to be expanded several times to accommodate his children.
Of course, he didn't want to tell Master Wan about these things for the time being.
Or rather, he didn't want to tell anyone.
"Yes, it's a woman from Pingyu!"
"Oh, what about her family background? What do her parents do?"
Hearing this, Wan Zhuliu felt a bit of a headache. He didn't like being bombarded with questions, so he said calmly, "Don't worry about his family. I took her in as my concubine for my own reasons. Father, just prepare everything. If you don't have enough money, I'll have someone send it over in a few days!"
"Alas! Zhuliu, it's not that Dad is afraid to spend money on you. Now that your status is different, there are endless people who want to be your concubine. Just a few days ago, the owner of Yongsheng Trading Company wanted to marry his sister to me, but I refused. Yongsheng is not a clean man. If it affects your official career, it will be more trouble than it's worth!"
"So, Daddy isn't trying to interfere with your decision, but I'm trying to tell you that taking a concubine is a science!"
Mr. Wan said earnestly.
“…” Wan Zhuliu was speechless.
He naturally understood the old man's thoughts.
It is nothing more than wanting to achieve nepotism through marriage, so that the Wan family will have a foundation and will no longer be a castle in the air that will fall down with a push.
"Don't worry, father. I am marrying this concubine this time. My family has some influence in Pingyu. The reason I am marrying her is also for the continuation of the family!" Wan Zhuliu replied immediately.
"Haha, if that's the case, then I, Dad, will fully support you. If you want to keep it simple, we can just set the date on one day. Anyway, I'm going to keep things simple when I take in a concubine, and it won't steal your limelight!"
Wan Zhuliu had no objection to this proposal.
But my father's idea is a bit too avant-garde.
If it were to be known that a father and son were living together and taking concubines and getting married, it would certainly not be a good story.
After a few more words, Xiaoyue came out from the backyard to call him. Wan Zhuliu bowed this time and returned to the backyard.
The current layout of the Wan Mansion is that Master Wan and several of his uncles live in the front yard, while the back yard is mainly the bedrooms of Wan Zhuliu's wife and several concubines.
Mo Lingling was waiting in the pavilion in the yard. Seeing Wan Zhuliu coming, she walked up to him kindly and moved closer to his arms very naturally. The softness and warmth of her body immediately surrounded him.
"My dear husband, what's going on? Sister Song Yu's injuries are minor, but she seems to have some emotional issues as well. She wasn't like this when Song Yi took her away from the Wan Mansion!"
Hearing this, Wan Zhuliu's eyes turned a little cold.
"I originally thought Song Yi was an upright man, but I never imagined that he had been possessed by some evil spirit and had used public funds without authorization. After he was caught, the judges, for my sake, allowed him to redeem himself for meritorious service and sent him to Heishui County to investigate a case. But he disappeared again.
This guy wasn't this reckless before."
Of course, he only said half of it. In the letter Song Yi wrote to him, he also said that if he could not come back, he asked Wan Zhuliu to forgive him for embezzling his money, and let Song Yu repay his kindness on his behalf and be his maid for the rest of her life.
Especially the words that came after this made Wan Zhuliu particularly angry.
Song Yu followed him from Hongsong to the provincial capital, saying that she could cure an illness, but not only did she fail to cure the illness, but he also ended up having to repay her kindness with herself.
Wan Zhuliu felt sorry for Song Yu for having such a brother.
But while he was angry, he also understood that Song Yi was not such a heartless and treacherous person. What was the reason that made him not only embezzle his own money but also dare to touch the government?
After hearing his words, Mo Lingling felt a little worried and said, "Looking at Yu'er like this, I'm afraid she is worried about her brother, right?
Women are very thoughtful and prone to overthinking. I'll just have to counsel her more recently. But Song Yi, is he really in danger?"
"Forget it, let him be, I don't bother to care about him anymore!"
Wan Zhuliu waved his hand with an indifferent expression. At this moment, he only wanted to continue to climb higher in martial arts to withstand unforeseen crises. He had no time to conduct a detailed investigation into Song Yi's affairs.
Seeing him like this, even if Mo Lingling had something to say, she couldn't say it anymore.
In the afternoon, Wan Zhuliu stayed at home to accompany his wives and concubines. He often did not return home, so their physical contact was unfamiliar, but soon he let Mo Lingling and her husband sleep peacefully in his arms.
At night.
A black robe rolled up in a gust of wind and suddenly came to the end of the street.
Click!
He grabbed one person and lifted him up high.
"You Zheng family members are really like flies, annoying as hell. Do you really have to kill you before I can settle down?"
Ta-ta-ta!
Rhythmic footsteps were heard on the bluestone-paved street.
The man stood about ten feet away from Wan Zhuliu. He was wearing a black armor and was quite tall. Including the armor, he was almost as tall as Wan Zhuliu.
"Second Master Zheng, please come into the mansion for a chat!"
His voice was hoarse and emotionless, like a puppet.
Bang!
Wan Zhuliu crushed the man's head in his hand, but no blood came out of his body, it was like an empty shell.
He turned around and took a step forward, chasing after him.
Bang!
The armored man stomped his foot hard, breaking the floor and reaching out to grab him.
