Chapter 569
Chen Jikang was originally grieving over the misfortunes of his daughters. Just now he heard from the servants that his two daughters had committed suicide, so he hurried over to check on them.
Who would have thought that he would hear the truth about his two daughters losing their virginity? He felt extremely ironic for a moment. He turned around and strode away.
After calming down, Chen Jikang consulted with his wife Yao that night and decided to let Yao go to Shi Anxia to have a good talk.
He was well aware of his adopted son's stubbornness and had to take a radical approach for his daughter's sake.
Yao also suddenly felt that Shi Anxia should be a person with a gentle personality, easy to talk to, and well-educated.
Only those who have experienced the rain know how cold it is.
Miss Shi has been living outside since she was a child. She must have experienced the fickleness of human nature and knows how dangerous the world is.
If she described her daughters' experiences in a more miserable way, it would surely arouse Shi Anxia's sympathy for her two daughters.
Chen Jikang said, "You must make it clear that you are not really asking Cen Yuan to take a concubine, but only a concubine in name only."
Yao has already communicated this to her two daughters.
The two daughters nodded in agreement, saying that they would be obedient and good and would not cause trouble again. They would behave themselves and would just be nominal concubines of Cen Yuan.
In this way, the entire Chen family reached a consensus and felt that this method was foolproof.
As long as Miss Shi nodded, Cen Yuan couldn't say anything. It was just to take up a position, not to ask him to really take a concubine.
Of course, as time goes by, what if Cen Yuan finally figures it out and changes his mind?
The next day, Yao prepared a speech, gathered her emotions, and came to the Marquis of Jian'an's mansion with generous gifts.
Cen Yuan received the news the moment Yao stepped into the Manhua Hall in the Begonia Courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion.
"Young Master, do you want to ask her to leave?" asked the subordinate Jin Qi.
Cen Yuan said calmly, "If she likes to run into obstacles, let her do it." After a pause, he continued, "This is the last time that the cotton shipped from Cangzhou to Suzhou will be sold at a low price. Next time, we will sell it to the Chen family at the market price."
Jin Qi agreed and asked, "What about the Chen family in Yucheng?"
"The price remains the same." Cen Yuan ordered, "But you have to ask Uncle Chen to make two sets of account books."
Jin Qi understood that the Chen family in the capital had been abandoned. The young master really supported his third uncle, Chen Jili.
Jin Qi was still worried, "Young Master, should we go and remind Miss Shi?"
Cen Yuan said, "No need." It was such a small matter, it would not be difficult for his little girl to handle it.
In the Manhua Hall, Yao was sitting on a chair with red eyes.
Before Shi Anxia came in, he looked around outside the door for a while before entering the hall.
The woman in front of him was somewhat similar to the older man in the portrait, but because she had been well maintained and had a round and plump figure, she looked even more beautiful than that man.
But in terms of temperament, she is still far behind most noble ladies in the capital.
However, because she was Cen Yuan's nominal adoptive mother, Shi Anxia still performed the etiquette of a junior before taking her seat.
This was also the first time Yao met Shi Anxia.
It goes without saying that this daughter of the Marquis's family is of noble character, especially in her posture when walking and sitting.
The calmness in her every move and even the words she spoke clearly showed humility and courtesy, but for no reason she gave people an indescribable majesty.
