Chapter 1090: Concubine

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Upon hearing Madame Lady Qiao’s words, Third Madame Ning felt as though she might faint. She couldn’t bring herself to believe what she was hearing. She turned to her son and berated him, exclaiming, “You good-for-nothing!”

The Ning Family had to take responsibility for their actions.

If they didn’t, news of her son impregnating his fiancée’s sister would spread, and he would never be able to find a suitable marriage partner in the future. The family’s reputation would be utterly ruined.

However, everyone had their own loyalties to their respective families. Third Madame Ning cursed her son for his uselessness and held great disdain for Qiao Kou, considering her shameless.

She was well aware that her son was meant to become Qiao Kou’s brother-in-law, yet she had still seduced him. It was clear that she had ulterior motives. How could a woman like this involve her own family in such a mess and still have the audacity to desire becoming her daughter-in-law? It was utterly unreasonable!

Third Madame Ning only agreed to accept Qiao Kou as a concubine.

Most n.o.ble families wouldn’t allow their sons to take concubines before marriage, but there was a reason behind that. After all, physical relations.h.i.+ps needed to be accounted for.

They discreetly pa.s.sed through the door and first moved Qiao Kou to the ancestral temple. They would wait for the wife’s approval before bringing her back home.

This was a way to show respect to the wife.

Third Madame Ning firmly rejected the idea of Qiao Kou becoming the wife, stating bluntly, “He is meant to be her brother-in-law, and she is not a good person either. Why should the Ning Family accept her? Either we compromise and let her be a concubine, or we’ll fight to the bitter end!”

No one would benefit from this situation.

Madame Lady Qiao had no interest in a concubine’s daughter like Qiao Kou, whom she had no fondness for. She simply hoped to cover up the whole affair so that Qiao Fang and Qiao Li’s marriage wouldn’t be affected.

Why did it matter if she was a concubine? She was just a shameless concubine’s daughter, and being a concubine was already a great honor for her!

Thus, the matter was settled.

Concubine Du let out a scream and fainted.

Why did her daughter have to endure such a miserable life?

She had experienced enough misery as a concubine herself. Her only hope in life was for her daughter to become the legal wife, so why did she have to become someone else’s concubine?

With this stain on her reputation even before the wedding, her future prospects would be bleak.

The entire Ning Family would not hold her in high regard.

Qiao Kou was also shocked. She simply couldn’t believe that Ning Liufang, who had seemed so infatuated with her, would now make her a concubine!

He wouldn’t agree to her demand.

She had thought she had complete control over him, that he loved her with all his heart. But what was happening now?

Didn’t he realize how wronged she would feel?

Qiao Kou attempted to meet them privately.

The Qiao Family didn’t care, but the Ning Family did. Third Madame Ning confined her youngest son to their home, forbidding him from leaving. As a result, Qiao Kou couldn’t meet with anyone.

In desperation, Qiao Kou resorted to desperate measures—like a drowning man clutching at a straw. She threatened the Qiao Family, demanding that they negotiate with the Ning Family. She refused to be a concubine and insisted on being the first wife. Otherwise, she claimed she would starve herself.

Madame Lady Qiao sneered and ignored her.

She believed that the Ning Family didn’t care about the life growing inside Qiao Kou’s womb. They would consider it nothing more than a b.a.s.t.a.r.d child.

Not eating? Madame Lady Qiao asked someone to hold her down and feed her soup.

As long as she could be kept alive.

She did not believe that Qiao Kou really wanted to die.

A few days later, a sedan chair carried Qiao Kou to the Ning Family.
