Su's father stared at the chessboard, looking regretful.
It seems that he felt he had made the wrong move with his final move.
This led to a complete defeat.
Otherwise, he would definitely have fought Su Yan for another three hundred rounds.
Su Yan glanced outside.
Looking at the sky, it was already noon.
She lowered her head, fiddled with her clothes, and spoke.
"Father, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now."
Su's father looked up.
"etc"
Su Yan looked at him without moving, waiting for him to continue.
Su's father coughed, probably because he had lost his composure and revealed his purpose beforehand, which was somewhat embarrassing.
But now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to say something.
"I heard that you have a male concubine in your courtyard, named Ji Yu, who is currently very favored."
Su Yan did not answer, but instead asked a question.
"Father, this is my matter."
Su's father fiddled with the black chess pieces in his hand.
"If you like him, your father won't say anything."
The responsibility of continuing the family line and expanding the family tree rests entirely on your shoulders.
You are the only son of the Su family, you must marry a proper wife to continue the family line.”
Su's father was a straightforward man.
Since you've said it, you've made your stance clear.
Keeping male concubines and having homosexual desires is nothing wrong with that.
However, there is one condition: the continuation of offspring is necessary.
Once you have offspring, you can do whatever you want.
Originally, Su's father did not intend to say it.
Su Yan looks young.
There's no rush.
Just listening to what the housekeeper said, and seeing Su Yan's behavior these past few days...
Even if I'm in his room playing chess with him, my body is here, but my mind isn't.
At noon, he would go to his own yard.
I heard that the male concubine was quite frail.
I got caught in a little rain and fell seriously ill; I still haven't recovered.
Su Yan had always kept it in her heart.
This wasn't the end; Su's father felt it was time to give him some pointers.
After listening, Su Yan nodded in agreement.
"I remember."
After agreeing, he asked again.
"Father, is there anything else? If not, I will take my leave now."
Su's father fiddled with the black chess pieces in his hand.
"I asked Steward Zhao to find you a few good ones. You can take them back or keep them as your personal servants, it's up to you."
Su's father sighed silently to himself.
His wife died young, so all these things are left to him, a grown man, to worry about.
Su Yan nodded
"good."
After accepting, he bowed and took his leave.
As they walked out, Xiaohua couldn't help but ask, puzzled.
"Host, don't you plan to tell Su's father that you are a woman?"
"I don't plan to."
"Keep it a secret?"
"kindness"
"Why?"
"There are many reasons, and it's good to live like this."
"Oh, okay."
Xiaohua didn't ask any more questions.
Actually, there's a very important reason why Su Yan didn't tell.
This was an era of male dominance and female inferiority.
The concept of the eldest son continuing the family line has permeated everyone's mind.
Two equally outstanding individuals can receive completely different perceptions depending on whether they are male or female.
In fact, the original owner of this body and Su's father were not close since childhood, otherwise Su's father would not have failed to discover that Su Yan was not a man.
Su Yan wasn't sure whether her father would hand her over to be judged by imperial decree or continue to keep it a secret.
Either way, the consequences are uncontrollable.
It's better not to say anything at all than to take such a big risk.
Su Yan walked into the courtyard, and just as she was about to enter, Lan Zhi ran out.
When she saw Su Yan, she quickly bowed.
"Young Marquis, Steward Zhao has sent over some people, saying that you should take them in as new concubines."
As she spoke, Lanzhi glanced at Su Yan's expression.
