Qingfeng frowned after listening, “Autumn Lotus Sister and Young Master aren’t wrong either.”
“Yeah, so what if she becomes a concubine? It’s better than Xing Dai Rong’s current situation.”
“What’s she thinking about all day? Does she really think she can be the mistress?” A first-class servant said, and everyone looked at him.
Everyone felt he was right. Could Xing Dai Rong be anything other than a concubine? Did she think she was qualified to be the mistress?
“Sigh!” Qiu Kui sighed in exasperation. Why couldn’t Xing Dai Rong understand what everyone else could see? How could she be obsessed with love and romance all day long? Can love and romance put food on the table?
Cheng Yunshuo had been coaxing her for a long time at the door, until it went silent inside. He was prepared to be splashed with water, so he stepped in and kicked the door open.
As soon as he entered, he saw Xing Dai Rong crying under the covers. Unlike before, when she would fight and yell, she was now subdued. Seeing this, his heart softened.
Cheng Yunshuo walked to the window and softly coaxed her in a gentle voice, “Dai Rong.”
“Get out!”
“Just listen to me.” Cheng Yunshuo forcefully pulled back the covers and hugged her tightly despite her punches and kicks. “Your current status in the house isn’t really appropriate.”
“Do you despise me?”
“I don’t despise you. Don’t you want to walk outside with me openly and have people properly introduce you?”
“So you want me to be your concubine!” Xing Dai Rong glared at him fiercely with her red eyes, “Cheng Yunshuo, you are a scumbag!”
“Dai Rong,” Cheng Yunshuo sighed heavily, “I still assure you, I only love you in this lifetime.”
“Heh, heh, heh!” Xing Dai Rong sneered at his assurance. “Then divorce Lu Lingyun and marry me properly!”
Her words caused Cheng Yunshuo’s face to turn black.
Divorcing Lu Lingyun was absolutely impossible. Aside from the fact that Lu Lingyun hadn’t committed any of the seven reasons for divorce, he couldn’t divorce her. Even if he did divorce Lu Lingyun, Xing Dai Rong’s status wouldn’t allow her to become the Houfu’s mistress.
Moreover, Cheng Yunshuo truly admired Lu Lingyun. He believed in everything Lu Lingyun had done.
Apart from her, no one else could be the mistress.
“You speak! Why aren’t you speaking? Divorce her and marry me, then it’s all proper! Go divorce Lu Lingyun now!”
Cheng Yunshuo’s face turned cold, and he frowned, “Dai Rong, didn’t you tell me you didn’t care about the title when you were with me?”
“So you want me to be your concubine!” Xing Dai Rong laughed angrily. “You still claim you’re not a liar!”
“Dai Rong, why do you have to be like this?” Cheng Yunshuo continued to coax her patiently.
“Unless you divorce her now, I won’t listen to anything else!” Xing Dai Rong covered her ears, pulled the covers over her head, and retreated back into the bed.
Seeing her stubbornness, Cheng Yunshuo sighed heavily and left the room.
That night, he didn’t go to Qiuxiang Courtyard and slept in the study of Yao Guang Ge all night.
The next day, he went to check on Xing Dai Rong. He heard the same things from her. He pondered for a moment before heading out to work.
