Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 423

What's wrong with this Shen woman? She used to be infatuated with him and devoted to him, but now she's actually asking him to take a concubine and have his maids.

Unable to vent his anger, Yin Bohong suddenly stood up and declared, "What you say is useless; I will never take a concubine!"

Then he turned around angrily and stormed off.

The remaining people looked at each other in bewilderment.

Mr. Yin and Mrs. Yin were furious.

"That unfilial son!..."

Shen Lingxia looked helpless: "Father, Mother, look at my husband like this, it's really outrageous. Adopting a child this big is really not a good idea. Why don't we try to persuade him more?"

Madam Yin sighed and nodded, "Lingxia, you're so sensible..."

And so, this grand drama of child adoption came to an abrupt end.

The blame shifted entirely onto Yin Bohong.

After that, Shen Lingxia began to earnestly and patiently persuade Yin Bohong.

She relentlessly pursued him, bombarding him with nagging questions: "Why won't you take a concubine?" "How can you not have children?" "How can you face your parents and family?"

This drove Yin Bohong to the brink of madness; he would flee at the mere sight of Shen Lingxia.

The adoption of the boy was also dropped. This was no longer the focus of the elderly Mr. and Mrs. Yin's attention; they were more concerned with ensuring Yin Bohong's lineage would continue.

Without the support of his elders, Yin Bohong was unable to support himself alone, let alone force Shen Lingxia to adopt him.

At the same time, Shen Lingxia was also trying to investigate Yin Bohong herself.

Judging from the reactions of the elderly Mr. and Mrs. Yin, Yin Bohong does not seem to have any hidden illness.

Why did he refuse to take a concubine and insist on adopting one instead?

......

East of the city, a glass building.

The name is very straightforward; it's a shop that sells glass. This was the first glass specialty store to open in Kyoto—the term "specialty store" comes from Qin Jianxi.

The shop has only been open for a short time and is extremely popular. The place is bustling with people both inside and outside.

The two-story building is like a crystal world, filled with a dazzling array of glass products.

All the windows are made of completely transparent, colorless glass, allowing outside light to stream in without obstruction, making the interior exceptionally bright.

The glass window alone attracted crowds of passersby who gathered around to watch and admire it, curiously reaching out to touch it.

The first floor sells large and everyday glassware, such as lampshades, vases, bowls, plates, and cups; the second floor sells exquisite handicrafts, decorative items, and jewelry.

Glassware is crystal clear and exquisitely crafted, just as beautiful as glass, but its price is only a fraction of that of glass.

And those glass windows, such large panes of clear glass, aren't particularly expensive; most wealthy families can afford to install them. They block the wind, let in light, won't get wet or punctured, and look very classy and impressive.

The shop was extremely busy, employing more than ten staff members who were all working non-stop. Customers were carrying large and small bags out of the shop.

The shop was opened by Qin Jianxi and Yan E themselves, and Shen Lingjun was only responsible for providing the funds and did not interfere in the management.

But after walking around for a while, she realized that she really didn't need to worry about it.

As Shen Lingjun led Dou Niang out of the shop, Hong Qing came to greet them.

She reported in a low voice, "Madam, I have found out what happened with that Yin Bohong."
