Chapter 569 -520: Selling Oneself_1

The room fell silent for a while before Daohua asked again, “Did your father ever tell An Xi about this?”

Sun Changze nodded, “My father enjoyed An Xi’s performances and couldn’t bear to see him… so he secretly approached him about this, hoping he would go back and recognize his kin to leave the troupe. But An Xi said my father was mistaken.”

“Once my father saw An Xi being…”

“Ahem~”

Xiao Yeyang coughed, interrupting Sun Changze and glaring at him with dissatisfaction.

Sun Changze immediately realized he had said something inappropriate and smiled apologetically.

Dong Yuanyao: “What happened after that?”

Sun Changze reorganized his thoughts, “Later, seeing that An Xi was really having a hard life, when my father went to the north again, he found An Xi’s father and told him about An Xi’s situation.”

“However, An Xi’s father was indifferent, saying my father was mistaken and asserting that his legitimate son had long since died.”

“Both parties were unwilling to admit, and my father was helpless, so the matter was never brought up again.”

Dong Yuanyao immediately sneered, “There are such heartless fathers in this world, who simply do not deserve to be fathers.”

Daohua also scoffed, “The strife between wives and concubines is the very root of a troubled household. Yet most men, for their own pleasures, pay no heed to these matters and still naively think that the wives and concubines will live harmoniously and the children will love each other. Are they really foolish or just pretending?”

Dong Yuanyao: “Of course, they’re pretending. They benefit themselves, not caring for the life or death of women and children. After all, if they are lost, they can simply remarry and father more.”

Daohua: “An Xi’s father does not want to recognize him because, firstly, he feels An Xi has shamed him, and secondly, he probably fears that with An Xi’s return, he would compete with his other sons for the inheritance, sparking familial conflicts. So he simply pretends this son is dead.”

Watching Daohua and Dong Yuanyao looking quite indignant, Xiao Yeyang and Sun Changze stayed silent with great tact.

Both had a strong feeling that if they spoke now, they would definitely be scolded.

After a while, seeing Daohua was not as angry, Xiao Yeyang poured her a cup of tea, “Have some tea to soothe your throat.”

Daohua looked at Xiao Yeyang, did not take the tea, and humphed, “There are hardly any good men in this world.” _{freewёbnoνel.com}

Xiao Yeyang saw that he did not escape being scolded and retracted the tea cup somewhat awkwardly.

Dong Yuanyao agreed wholeheartedly, “Exactly, unless they are from a poor family background, those with a bit of power are all about having multiple wives and concubines. Almost none are truly devoted to their wives, and to not favor concubines over wives, that would already be considered excellent.”

At this point, Sun Changze suddenly joined the conversation, “Not in my family, we are not allowed to take concubines.”

Dong Yuanyao shot back immediately, “Does your family have money?”

Sun Changze: “It’s alright, I suppose. We own about a dozen cargo ships, doing some business here and there, and live comfortably. Our family has a rule against taking concubines unless the wife has not borne a child by the age of thirty.”

Daohua looked at Sun Changze in surprise, “That’s quite a good family rule.”

Sun Changze’s face showed pride, “That’s right. My father says when there are many children in the family, especially from different mothers, it inevitably leads to disputes and unfairness, which is harmful to family unity and prosperity. Therefore, the Sun Family strictly prohibits taking concubines; violators are expelled from the family.”

“Because of this rule, our family is very popular locally. Everyone wants to marry their daughters into our family. I’m eighteen this year, and my family is arranging a marriage for me. Our threshold is practically worn down by the matchmakers.”

Hearing this, Daohua and Dong Yuanyao exchanged a look, both somewhat speechless, and then together ‘tsk’ed at Sun Changze.

Dong Yuanyao even curled her lip, “You are really full of yourself, thinking you are such a catch, huh?” But the point about not taking concubines is indeed quite attractive.

Sun Changze thought they didn’t believe him and quickly explained, “Really, I am very popular. I’m a good swimmer, quick-witted, and my martial arts are not bad either. I’ve been running the family’s ships since the year before last, bringing silver home every year.”

As he spoke, he smiled at Xiao Yeyang.

“Thanks to Lord Xiao’s high regard, I started selling glass last year, and I’ve earned even more silver. I truly am a man worthy of a life’s commitment. Any girl who marries me is guaranteed a good life.”
