"This is all so rushed..." Lin Dali's eyes darted evasively. Ming Li had already suffered enough grievances by following him. He was the one who had agreed not to make her perform the concubine's tea ceremony to his wife; how could he go back on his word now?
However, he clearly underestimated the determination of these madams to crack down on such improper conduct.
Before he could even finish his sentence, someone immediately cut him off. "What's so rushed about it? Taking in a concubine doesn't require that much preparation. As it happens, I come from a family of scholars and farmers, so I can help draft the contract. I'll even see the good deed through to the end and send it to the government office to be filed on your behalf."
Lin Dali's face darkened. This was his private family matter. What right did these women have to interfere and cause trouble?
