Chapter 2279: How Could This Be?
He had lived most of his life in poverty, how could he suddenly beco accustod to such treatnt?
Yet, he couldn’t deny wanting to maintain so semblance of dignity.
Seeing the two young and beautiful maids with their alluring figures almost frightened him. How could he possibly desire such servants?
But being scolded by Ms. Fang in front of his children, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, and even his grandchildren stirred his anger. Didn’t she care about his reputation? She seed to disregard him entirely as the head of the family, not even bothering to inquire about the situation before blaming and scolding him. It was becoming increasingly unreasonable.
Eldest Uncle’s frustration escalated into a heated argunt with Ms. Fang.
Ms. Fang was at a loss for words.
Eldest Uncle had never behaved like this before; sothing had changed in him!
Perhaps it was the newfound prosperity and Shao Yunduan’s rising stature that led to excessive praise, fostering arrogance in him. Could it be true that he actually desired those young won as concubines?
Ms. Fang had raised dutiful children and grandchildren, and the idea of competing for the favor of a young concubine, fearing her own position might be threatened, seed ludicrous.
She was infuriated that Eldest Uncle had forgotten his humble origins and was causing chaos over a young woman.
Their argunt escalated further.
This discord continued for days, leaving them in a tense standoff.
Ms. Fang forbade Eldest Uncle from leaving the house again. She viewed him as naive and reckless—why would he put himself in such a position?
If he had simply asked for his own demise, it would be one thing, but what if his actions implicated his sons?
This ti, he had lured two won to serve him. What if he attempted to bring more back for his sons next?
Was this the kind of family they wanted?
Ms. Fang agonized over what to do with the two won.
Initially, they had considered offering them money to set them free. However, upon seeing their fear and sincere apologies, along with their pledges to serve dutifully without causing any trouble, Ms. Fang’s heart softened. She chose not to bla them for the situation but rather pitied them, ultimately giving them money to secure their release—an act of goodwill.
Unexpectedly, when the two won knelt down, weeping and begging for rcy, Ms. Fang found herself unexpectedly cast in a negative light.
Ms. Fang was deeply vexed by the situation.
It was Aunt Qing who covertly urged caution. She pointed out that judging by their appearance, deanor, and grooming, these won had likely been grood as playthings by affluent families since youth, taught only to please and serve n. Having lived a sheltered life, if released, they might face dire consequences…
If set free, their true nature would be swiftly exposed by astute individuals who could exploit them for profit. They could end up being sold off for a pittance.
How could they not be terrified upon hearing they might be dismissed?
This was the first ti Ms. Fang had encountered such a situation. She was astonished beyond words.
Such absurdity actually existed in the world!
Despite her discomfort with these individuals, she couldn’t bring herself to bla them.
