System Blessing: The Young Master of the Dong Family and Diao Chan's Fate

"Alas, what Brother Cai said... is unreasonable."

"I think it's totally unreasonable."

Although Dong Yu was not particularly eager to have another concubine, he still felt that he had to try to get one.

"What's unreasonable?"

Cai Mao frowned and asked in confusion.

"Let me ask you, if it was a girl from an ordinary family, would I marry her?"

Dong Yu put down the wine bottle and asked seriously.

"My dear brother is a former general, of high rank. It would be an honor for ordinary women to become your concubines, and it is natural and reasonable."

Cai Mao nodded without hesitation.

"So, this so-called rationality is entirely due to my relatively high status."

"Is it this way?"

Dong Yu looked at the other person with a half-smile, picked up the wine bottle that had just been filled by the maid and drank it all.

"Brother, what I mean is...hiss!"

"Brother, don't say such things casually."

Cai Mao was not a fool and quickly understood what Dong Yu meant.

Nowadays, people with a certain status generally have several concubines in their families, but the concubines' family backgrounds are generally very low.

When it comes to taking concubines, it is standard for men to be strong and women to be weak.

Then who can take the daughter of a noble family as a concubine?

It’s terrifying when you think about it, it’s so disrespectful!

Although the Han Dynasty was about to end, it was somewhat bold to say such words so bluntly.

"Hey, you can't just blame others for what they have done."

"I didn't say anything. It's just your imagination."

Dong Yu's face changed and he pointed at Cai Mao in a pretentious manner.

"Ah, yes, yes, it's my fault."

Cai Mao's heart skipped a beat, realizing that he had been tricked by Dong Yu.

Even when Cao Cao was so powerful, he did not dare to talk about changing the world. This shows that the power of the Han Dynasty was still there, and many people had to be careful when speaking, let alone doing it.

"So, the butt determines the thinking."

"Where you are in the world, you will have the kind of thoughts you have."

"It's getting late, I should leave."

Dong Yu smiled indifferently, tore off a chicken leg and put it in his mouth, separating the flesh and bones. Then he stood up and prepared to leave.

"My dear brother, this transaction is huge, and it will take some time to transport the money and grain out of Wancheng. Now that it's getting late, why don't you stay in the city for a while, so that I can show my hospitality."

Cai Mao stood up to keep him and invited him sincerely.

"It's inconvenient."

"My soldiers are still waiting outside the city."

Dong Yu shook his head and politely rejected Cai Mao's proposal.

"That... is fine."

Cai Mao didn't want to force him to stay, so as to avoid causing any misunderstanding, so he nodded.

"Brother, please send someone to transport the money and food to our camp as soon as possible."

"Once the number is counted, I will hand over all the war horses. Brother, you should trust me, right?"

After Dong Yu straightened his clothes, he smiled and joked.

"Of course I trust you. Go ahead, my dear brother. I will send all the money and food to the army as soon as possible."

Cai Mao smiled and thought to himself that it would be useless if he couldn't believe it.

It is normal to exchange money for goods.

Moreover, he did not dare to offend the elite soldiers under Dong Yu rashly. If he did not handle it properly, Nanyang would fall into chaos again.

After sending Dong Yu out of the city gate, Cai Mao returned to his mansion.

"Sister."

Cai Mao looked at Cai Ying with a worried look on his face as she was waiting for him to come back with a message.

Cai Ying looked a little sleepy. She took a sip of refreshing tea and felt a little better.

He put down the tea bowl and looked at his brother: "How did the discussion go?"

"Younger than I expected."

"But since we're already married, I'm afraid it'll be difficult to arrange a marriage."

Cai Mao shook his head and sighed.

"Why is that so difficult?"

"Since we're already married, let's just leave it at that. Do you really want me to be your mistress?"

Cai Ying rolled her eyes at her brother and teased him half-jokingly.

"It's not impossible."

"what!"

Cai Mao's words almost made Cai Ying explode.

What a joke, she is still unmarried in her twenties. If she becomes someone's mistress now, the aristocratic circle will probably laugh at her to death.

She could imagine how those people from the aristocratic families would make fun of her.

She waited for nearly ten years, and rejected countless young talents when she was young and beautiful. As a result, she was so picky that when she was old and ugly, she could only become someone's mistress.

Cai Ying is the most prestigious lady from aristocratic family in Jingzhou, and she cannot stand this humiliation.

"This man has great ambitions. What he said to me made me feel that he...is unwilling to be a servant."

"Sister, think about it, ordinary people have concubines, and they all have one, but they are not called concubines."

Cai Mao swallowed and lowered his voice.

"What, are you kidding?"

"Although the Dong family holds the emperor's throne, the world is in chaos. Who can guarantee that they will have the last laugh?"

Cai Ying opened her mouth and then spoke seriously.

"That being said, the only powerful princes in the world today are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Dong Zhuo, and Liu Jingsheng."

"Liu Yu of Youzhou and Gongsun Zan will inevitably fight, and how can Yuan Shao let Youzhou go?"

"Yanzhou has seven or eight princes, big and small. Xuzhou's Tao Qian is old and has no ambition. Yizhou is in chaos, and Yangzhou is even more difficult to defend."

"It wouldn't be a bad thing if my Cai family could partner with the Dong and Liu families."

Cai Mao began to lobby his sister.

It is true that it was with the help of my sister that I was able to quickly gain a foothold when I was young.

But now, for Cai Mao, after completely controlling the Cai family, Cai Ying has become a redundant person.

Everything has to be discussed with her. Who is the boss of the Cai family, her or me?

Cai Mao wanted to send Cai Ying away as quickly as possible, the farther the better, so that he wouldn't be constrained anymore.

At the same time, establishing diplomatic relations between Cai Ying and Dong Yu is also a good thing for the Cai family.

Killing two birds with one stone, isn't that wonderful?

A woman should have the awareness of a woman. If you need to get married, do it now. Don't stay at home and bother me.

"It seems that you have made up your mind?"

As a smart person, Cai Ying naturally understood her brother's thoughts quickly.

Isn’t it just that you think I’m in the way?

Can't I just leave?

"Sister, I can't bear to leave you either."

"But for the sake of the Cai family... I hope Sister can understand my difficulties."

Cai Mao sighed and said with a look of reluctance on his face.

At this moment, the true intention has almost been revealed.

If Cai Ying doesn't agree, Cai Mao will probably force her.

Between force and voluntary choice, Cai Ying could only choose voluntary choice, so that she could still save a little face.

"Ugh."

"Then the Cai family will rely on you from now on."

Cai Ying sighed.
