Truly foolish people, to come up with such an absurd idea. He would not allow Ling Mo Han to take any more concubines.
Even though it was common for men to take concubines, he would not allow Han'er to take in the daughter of such a family as a concubine.
Moreover, he had heard that this granddaughter-in-law was a jealous person. If Han'er were to take a concubine, who knew what kind of turmoil it would cause.
Feng Jin was such a good granddaughter-in-law, and it had taken so much effort to marry her. He would not, for the sake of some insignificant people, drive Feng Jin away again. That would be a loss that outweighed any gain.
"That's right. My grandfather is right. My husband can only marry me in this life, and no other woman. So, don't waste your efforts." Kai Shu Ge
Feng Jin echoed Elder Master Ling's words, stating with a firm tone, "My husband can only marry me in this life, and no other woman. So, don't waste your efforts."
Elder Master Ling's performance this time was truly commendable. He stood so firmly on her side. Regardless of whether these words came from his heart or not, Feng Jin was still very grateful.
"Miss, I beg you, please save my Li family. As long as you allow my daughter to marry your husband, she is willing to be a concubine or even a servant."
Lin Kun, as if driven mad, hurried to Feng Jin and uttered these preposterous words.
"That is your own flesh and blood daughter. How can you, as a father, be so heartless as to willingly let your daughter become a concubine? How can there be such a father in this world? If your daughter knew this, she would surely hate you for the rest of her life."
How could there be such a cruel father who was willing to let his own daughter become a concubine? This would undoubtedly ruin her life.
Feng Jin's tone was filled with helplessness, and she stated even more firmly, "Even if you are willing to let your daughter be a concubine, my husband will absolutely not take any concubines. So, you should give up this idea."
"You girl, you don't listen to good advice. You refuse the toast and insist on the penalty. Then don't blame me for being rude!"
"What do you mean? I've only heard of forcing a virtuous woman to become a prostitute. Are you trying to force a daughter to become a concubine? I see your Li Manor is considered a reputable family. If this matter were to spread, how would you dare to show your face in the capital? And how would your children find suitable marriages?"
When it came to sharp tongues, Feng Jin dared to claim second place. No one in the entire capital would dare to claim first.
Her words, without a single vulgarity, made Li Kun feel so ashamed that his face burned with pain.
"Master Li, a true gentleman who achieves great things is not bound by trivial matters. As the head of the family, you must think for the sake of the young and old of the Li family. You wouldn't want to see the Li family ruined, would you? For Miss to sacrifice herself for the Li family and protect her parents and elders, this can also be considered filial piety."
The monk saw that Li Kun was wavering and immediately began to reason with him and appeal to his emotions, doing his best to persuade Li Kun.
Li Kun had already had this idea in mind. To him, who was more important, one daughter or the entire family, was clearly obvious. Moreover, she was just an illegitimate daughter born to a maid, of little importance.
If it weren't for the purpose of warding off disaster, he wouldn't even have remembered that he had such a daughter.
His concern was only because he feared that the outside world's opinions might affect him.
"The monk is right. Comparing one daughter to the entire family, one can distinguish between what is more important. I gave birth to her, and this is her filial piety."
Li Kun, as if brainwashed, uttered such foolish words. He then turned his gaze to Feng Jin and said, trying to maintain a calm tone, "Whether you agree to this marriage today or not, you must agree. I will ask you one last time, are you willing or unwilling to take my young daughter into your household as a concubine?"
"I will refuse to the death. Just give up!"
Feng Jin said decisively. She wasn't a fool who would be dragged into warding off disaster for others just because she accidentally caught a hydrangea ball, and on top of that, she had to take a concubine for her own husband.
Were there really such saints in the world? She would have to be out of her mind to do such a stupid thing.
"Master Li, I suspect you've lost your mind to ask such a question. We've only met once, and you want me to take your daughter as a concubine for my husband and ward off disaster for your Li family. I don't know where you got the courage to say such a thing. I suggest you go and inquire about whose family my husband's family is."
Feng Jin kindly advised. If Master Li were willing to listen, he would go out and inquire now, and perhaps his whole family could survive. Otherwise, they would truly be utterly destroyed.
"Hahaha... hahaha..."
Li Kun laughed to the heavens, thinking that Feng Jin was simply scared witless and was trying to trick him with such words.
"Then when you came to my Li Manor, did you inquire? My Li Manor is royalty. If you offend me today, your entire family will be wiped out."
"Your family is royalty?" Feng Jin's brows furrowed slightly. Had Emperor Xuanwen married someone from their family? But the Emperor Xuanwen's consorts were all from prominent noble families. How could he take in a daughter from a merchant background?
Could it be another true love? But she hadn't heard Lin Yu Wei mention any of these romantic affairs. Was she simply ignorant?
Seeing Feng Jin stunned for a moment, Li Kun mistook it for fear and became even more arrogant, "If you regret it and are scared, then kneel down and apologize now, and I naturally won't hold it against you. After all, we'll be family from now on, and everything can be discussed."
Feng Jin's eyes nearly rolled to the heavens. How could there be such a shameless person in the world? She was truly broadening her horizons today, thanking heaven and earth for letting her meet such a person... it was constantly refreshing her understanding of common sense.
"May I be so bold as to ask, Master Li, how did you climb to the position of royalty?" She just wanted to know how they became royalty.
Li Kun cleared his throat and said with an arrogant expression, "My legitimate daughter entered the Third Prince's mansion. The Third Prince is now the most favored by the Emperor, and it will only be a matter of time before he is made the Crown Prince. As long as the Third Prince ascends the throne, my daughter will be the Noble Consort, and my Li family will naturally be royalty..."
Speaking of this, Li Kun became even more proud and self-satisfied, his tail about to wag into the sky.
"For people like you from humble backgrounds, to be able to associate with our Li family as relatives is a blessing you have cultivated over several lifetimes."
Feng Jin's lips twitched slightly. She suppressed the smile at the corner of her mouth, finding it extremely difficult to bear, but out of politeness, she held back from laughing out loud, though her stomach began to ache from the effort.
She took a few deep breaths, feeling a little more comfortable in her chest, and managed to suppress the smile.
So it turned out his daughter was a concubine to Chu Yan Xi, and she had made herself guess for so long.
