Nie You was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. He frowned and said, "What's the difference?"
Su Man combed her waist-length hair in front of a bronze mirror. "If you ask me, I'll tell you that it was my mother who felt that Miss Qin needed to observe mourning for the death of her parents. She could only enter the General's Mansion after the mourning period was over. I know you've been fond of her for a long time, so I proposed this compromise: to make her a concubine first, and then after the mourning period is over, she can be promoted to a concubine.

Su Man raised her eyes and met Nie You's gaze in the mirror. "Whether it's taking a concubine or a maid, it's all a matter of the inner court. A dignified general, isn't he afraid of being ridiculed for questioning his wife because of a woman?"
Nie You moved his lips several times but couldn't say anything.

"Since it's mother's suggestion, then so be it. Although Rou'er is only a concubine now, she is my savior, and everyone in the mansion must not neglect her."

Yinggu glanced at Su Man's face and said, "Madam, how come you are not angry at all when the general said this to you?"
"Being angry is because I care. If I don't care, I won't be angry."
But Nie You didn't understand this principle.
Yu Man's request was to leave the General's Mansion and marry someone else. This was much more difficult than trying to change Nie You's mind. Their marriage was granted by the Emperor, and any divorce would also require his approval. The best option was for Nie You to ask for it himself.
