Chapter 602: Chapter 602 I Support You_1

”Master...” Li Wuyu continued to cry, ”Me, become a concubine? Am I so shameless that I’d agree to be someone’s concubine? I didn’t look down on him, but he, on the contrary, looks down on me, expecting me to be his concubine... Wuu wuu... If my father knew about this, he would definitely be angered to death, wuu wuu... Master, I am not so lowly, wuu wuu...”

The social hierarchy here is particularly stringent, and Li Wuyu, who is indeed a native of this world and understands the distinctions of rank, is now being asked by Wang Youbao to be his concubine. For the daughter of the Prime Minister to become a concubine to a merchant, it’s nothing less than a humiliation to Li Wuyu.

No wonder Li Wuyu is so agitated.

An Jing understood but only asked, ”Did Youbao really ask you to be his concubine?”

Li Wuyu cried again, ”Yu Daming told me personally, how could it be false?”

Yu Daming is someone from Wang Youbao’s side, particularly loyal to Wang Youbao. If Yu Daming said so, it must be true.

An Jing was very displeased by Wang Youbao’s action of making Li Wuyu his concubine. She abhorred the practice of men in this place taking multiple wives and concubines. If Wang Youbao asked Li Wuyu to be his concubine, did that mean he intended to take even more wives?

However, she did not show her displeasure outwardly and only said, ”If he truly asks you to be a concubine, I will support you if you decide to give up on him.”

Li Wuyu just cried.

An Jing comforted her for a while. Eventually, Li Wuyu stopped crying, but from her expression, it was clear that although she was no longer weeping, her mood was still very unpleasant.

Imperial Physician Jiang came in to check on Li Wuyu, making sure that she was only weak and in need of some medicine and rest for a period of time, with no other serious issues. After confirming this, Imperial Physician Jiang left.

After Li Wuyu had taken her medicine and gone to sleep, An Jing also left.

Upon leaving Li Wuyu’s room, An Jing saw Wang Youbao standing desolate and dispirited not far away in the courtyard.

Wang Youbao had already learned from Doctor Jiang that Li Wuyu was not in grave condition, but as soon as An Jing came out, he hurried over to ask about Li Wuyu’s current state.

Thinking that Wang Youbao had actually asked Li Wuyu to be his concubine, An Jing replied irritably, ”She fell asleep after crying herself out.”

Wang Youbao, not minding An Jing’s curt tone, persisted, ”Did you ask her what exactly happened to her?”

An Jing grew even more annoyed, ”What else could have happened? It’s because you want to take her as a concubine!”

”A concubine?” Wang Youbao was startled. Immediately, he became anxious, ”When did I say I wanted to take her as a concubine? I am fond of her; if anything, I’d want her to be my wife!”

Back then, his father was unwell and had no energy to concern himself with his marriage, and since he had no girl he liked, he never married. Now that he had found a girl he liked, his beloved, he couldn’t bear to make her a concubine, even if she wasn’t from a reputable family — naturally, she would be his wife.

An Jing was also taken aback, her tone softening, ”But she told me, Yu Daming told her that when you marry her, you plan to make her your concubine. He also said that Wuyu doesn’t truly fancy you as a person but is after your money.”

Yu Daming, who happened to be right next to Wang Youbao, heard his name mentioned and immediately knelt before Wang Youbao, ”Young Master, Miss Li is not from a respectable family, how could you marry her as your wife? That would only lead others to look down on you even more! And since you care so much about your reputation, I assumed you intended to take Miss Li as a concubine, so, the other day, I ended up speaking out of turn to her. Also, Miss Li always asks you for this and that, so I thought she loved your money, and I advised her to restrain herself if she were to marry into the family...”
