Let me be a concubine? I turned to someone else's arms

The girl helped the old man into the house. "By the way, father, isn't General Yu Bai going to return to the capital? Is your brother coming back with him?"

"Yes." Luo Ji nodded, his steps slow and steady. "Your brother wrote to me saying that he should be here in two or three days, and that Hu woman will be here with him..."

"Brother, how did you get acquainted with that woman?"

Luo Qin helped Aye into the house.

"Qi'er was injured while he was collecting herbs for the army in the mountains. That Hu girl saved him and she fell in love with your brother."

"Ah..." Luo Qin was slightly surprised, "Is the background clean?"

Luo Qin couldn't help but think of the novels she had read in her previous life, in which a general returned from a battle and brought back a pregnant woman, and then abused his original wife for her, but in the end he discovered that the pregnant woman was an enemy spy...

Speaking of this, Luo Ji frowned, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes, "Your brother said in the letter that she is just a commoner."

"common people?"

My God, in this world, the class system is strictly defined, and scholars and commoners are not allowed to marry. Even if a scholar likes a commoner girl, at most he can take her as a concubine, but it is impossible for him to take her as his wife.

So, brother, why did you choose to step on two big mines at once?

Maybe their family likes to rebel. The world doesn't like businessmen, but Luo Qin insisted on doing business; the nobles despised practicing medicine, but Aye's brother was a doctor; the Han people looked down on the Hu people, but the older unmarried brother fell in love with a Hu woman...

"Father, do you allow my brother to marry that woman?" Luo Qin carefully looked into his old father's eyes and asked tentatively.

"Your brother knows his limits. He won't do anything reckless."

"What Aye meant by this is..."

"Then the Hu girl can only be a concubine."

"..."

Luo Qin was silent. As a woman, she did not approve of this move.

In her eyes, the Hu woman was just a minority, so she would not discriminate. Moreover, if the woman was sincere to her brother, she would be very sad. Just like when Jin Zhao said those words, she felt a tearing pain in her heart...

"Ping'er, you are still young and a girl, so you don't know the considerations of some things." After entering the house, Luo Ji knelt on the couch and looked at his daughter opposite him and said slowly, "Your brother works under General Yu. The soldiers have fought against the Hu people for such a long time and countless comrades have died. They hate the Hu people the most. Qi'er, a military doctor, married a Hu girl. The soldiers who work with him will also be disheartened."

Luo Qin poured a cup of tea for his father, "So, no matter what, that Hu girl can only be a concubine?"

The old man took the glazed teacup handed over by his daughter and said, "Well, this is the best consideration."

Luo Qin took back his hand and looked at the old man steadily, "Since you have so many concerns, why bother to get entangled with that woman? Isn't it better to let each other go?"

In the eyes of the gentry, common people are like ants, and in the eyes of the Han people, the Hu people are savages. It is not favored by everyone that my brother is having an affair with a commoner Hu girl.

Luo Ji was helpless, "Your brother cannot refuse what the Hu woman asked."

Well, this is a life-saving favor that I can’t repay, the only thing I can do is repay you with my body, right?

"Do you like her, brother?"

Luo Ji recalled the words his son used in the letter and said, "He probably likes it, too."

"..."

In fact, it would have been better if she hadn't said that it was the Hu girl who asked for it. But now that she was the one who pestered my brother, based on Luo Qin's many years of experience reading novels, this Hu girl is most likely a spy.

Thinking of this, Luo Qin immediately said: "Then you must pay more attention to this girl. Brother can contact General Yu. If this girl has ill intentions..."

"Don't worry, Ping'er. Brother has considered it all."

Okay, okay, brother, I’m not a fool.

Luo Qin nodded, and suddenly thought of something, "Then, brother, do you plan to take that woman into your house?"

If we take over the Luo Mansion, I'm afraid Master Luo will disagree even more. The Luo family is already on the decline, and the clan members are still entangled with the Hu people. This is unacceptable.

I can only build another house outside.

Luo Ji picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Let's talk about it after he comes back."

"If that woman comes back, I will definitely find out more about her." Luo Qin said in a firm tone.

"That's fine." Luo Ji looked at his daughter, a trace of relief flashing in his eyes, "But, this matter must not be made public, so as not to give people a reason to talk."

"My daughter understands." Luo Qin already had a plan in mind.

After talking about his son, Luo Ji looked at his daughter and asked, "Who does Ping'er have a date with today?"

"Yes, it's Wang Wulang." Luo Qin replied.

There is also Xie Yun involved.

Hearing that it was Wang Xu, Luo Ji's eyes showed a hint of relief, "Are you two so close?"

After returning to Jiankang, his daughter had no contact with Wang Wulang anymore, and he thought that their relationship was just ordinary.

"It was always fine, but it was too cold when I first arrived in Jiankang, and then I was too busy, so I only got the chance recently."

"So your appointment with him is...?"

"Oh, last time he and Xie Sanlang looked after the shop for my daughter. I asked him to come this time to thank him." Luo Qin answered truthfully

Luo Ji's face changed when he heard this, "Shop? You opened a shop again?"

He had been too busy recently and hadn't noticed that his daughter had started a new business. His daughter was good at managing her subordinates and the servants obeyed her orders, so they didn't even tell him about such a big thing!

Luo Ji was full of disapproval. "It was fine if you were in Jingzhou before, but now you are in Jiankang! Do you know that celebrities look down on businessmen the most..."

"I know, I know, my daughter knows what's going on!" Luo Qin nodded repeatedly, quickly stood up, walked around the low table, walked to Aye, and calmed him down, "Aye, calm down."

Luo Ji glared at his daughter who was trying to please him, "Then you still..."

Luo Qin calmed her father down while defending herself, "Those noble families also run shops. Isn't Mr. Xie always running a shop for the family? And don't noble ladies have one or two shops as dowries? Why didn't anyone say anything?"

"They are different..." Luo Ji felt helpless and sad when he saw his daughter was so naive. "They are in high positions and powerful, and people flatter them and look down on them, so naturally they dare not offend them. But Ping'er, you are in a low position, and if you make the slightest mistake, people will seize on it and magnify it to slander you..."

The old man's expression darkened. His family background was not good, so his two children were restricted in everything they did and had to be careful.

Luo Qin comforted his father, "Aye, I know your worries, and I know what's going on."

"It would be strange if you knew the number. If you knew the number, why would you open so many shops?"

"..."

I'm doing this for our own good. If we have enough money, we can help out in times of emergency if there's a war in the future.

Luo Qin grabbed the old man Wushe's sleeve and acted coquettishly for a while.

In the end, the old man was helpless and too lazy to say anything more. He had already done it, so what else could he do?

"Actually, you don't have to worry too much, Uncle Xie said that if my shop has good revenue, he is willing to cooperate with me."

"What?" Luo Ji paused, then looked back at his daughter who was staring at him eagerly, "When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me earlier!"

"It was when I was planning to open a shop. Xie Sanlang was there, and Xie Dalang was there too. He told me after he found out."

"Okay, okay, very good. If you can really cooperate with Xie, your father won't have to worry about you anymore."

His daughter likes to do business, and it's not that he doesn't allow her. He's just afraid that if she is singled out, it will give her a chance to be criticized. If she has the support of Xie, who would dare to do that?
