Chapter 846: Chapter 847: More to Come

Song Xiaodong said with a gloomy face, "If it were before, I might be quite happy, but now that I already have them, I have absolutely no interest in people with whom I have no feelings or sensation, and it really makes me feel very awkward."

Su Yuya said, "Family Head, even if you don’t agree, there is nothing to be done about it. As the Family Head of the Su Family, so young, if this succeeds, our Su Family’s status will be even higher. As the Family Head, within the entire family system, your reputation will soar, and then more families might want to send their daughters here."

"What, even more?" Song Xiaodong’s face turned green, and that was definitely not just for show, but truly from the bottom of his heart.

Su Yuya smiled and said, "It’s inevitable. Putting ourselves in their shoes, if Minghe now has a family we can’t help but ally with, I would naturally consider doing this, and other families may think the same."

Song Xiaodong shook his head like a bobblehead, saying, "No! Absolutely not! We cannot open this door because if we do, wouldn’t that cause trouble later? What’s the point of having so many women here? I don’t even like them, are they just for show?"

Su Yuya’s smile grew even wider as she said, "If the Su Family could make the Sun family necessarily submissive to us, then naturally there would be no problem rejecting them. But currently, our Su Family doesn’t have that strength, so this absolutely cannot be refused."

Looking at Song Xiaodong’s expression, Miao Qingqing said, "Dongzi, we all just talked about this, and we really agree with this matter. Just like Aunt said, there’s no choice. We are very comforted by your heart, and we can understand these unavoidable matters, so we won’t have any objections."

Song Xiaodong said, "Even if you have no objections, I still can’t accept it myself."

At this moment, Su Yuya said, "Actually, I have a way that can both make you accept them and make you feel a little more comfortable."

"What way?" Everyone looked at Su Yuya.

"Take them as concubines!" Su Yuya said slowly.

"As concubines?" Miao Qingqing didn’t quite understand.

"You seven are the main wives, and for those who must be allied through marriage, they would be taken as concubines."

Miao Qingqing said, "That doesn’t seem right, wouldn’t that seem disrespectful to the Sun family?"

Su Yuya said, "The Sun family, for now, it can’t be like that. I am referring to the future, if other prominent families send over people for marriage alliances, then it can be done that way. Pfft, I just thought of something, if you now announce taking several concubines, perhaps other prominent families in Minghe would be very willing to send their girls over."

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened as he said, "This is getting more and more absurd, concubines? Should I just establish a grand harem with Three Palaces and Six Courtyards?"

Su Yuya chuckled, "As long as you’re willing, it doesn’t seem difficult."

Song Xiaodong said irritably, "Alright, let’s leave this matter here, it’s all a mess." Then he stood up and walked straight outside.

Miao Qingqing shouted, "Hey, where are you going? Aren’t you going to see your new wife?"

Song Xiaodong didn’t say anything and just walked right out.

The women in the room exchanged glances, and Su Yuya was the first to burst out laughing, saying, "It’s rare to see Dongzi lose his temper with you."

Miao Qingqing also had a smile on her face, saying, "Losing his temper for this reason actually makes one feel quite comfortable."

Shui Qingyue chuckled, "Considering Dongzi’s status and how he treats us, it’s really not easy. The men in my family are never this nice to women, especially regarding the matter of taking women, it’s often quite furious, how could they possibly push them away."

Miao Qingqing said to Song Xiaoru, "Sister, go and see Dongzi. Since this matter cannot be avoided, he can’t just leave her hanging, there ought to be some explanation."

Song Xiaoru nodded and stood up to go outside.

She soon saw Song Xiaodong and quickly walked to his side, taking his arm.

"Sister..." Song Xiaodong called out, then sighed.

Song Xiaoru softly asked, "Always so spirited, how come you’ve suddenly become so despondent?"

"Sister... I am thinking, the position I’m in now, the decisions I make, can affect others’ lives, and many are forced to change because of me. Suddenly I feel a great responsibility on me."

Song Xiaoru was momentarily stunned and said, "I didn’t expect you to think so deeply."

"Recently, some people in the Su Family already had this intention, but I didn’t give them the opportunity, but now with what the Su Family has sent over, I feel like I still can’t decide my own fate."

Song Xiaoru’s voice became even softer as she said, "In this world, almost no one can truly decide their own fate as they wish. Everyone lives in society and will be influenced by society. You have a significant role, and the influence you receive is greater. I feel that as long as you can stick to your principles, that’s enough. Like Zi Yun from the Sun family, she probably can’t escape a marriage alliance, but with you, at least she won’t suffer, and you could treat her well in the future. But if she married someone who was unkind to her, her life might be miserable."

Pausing a bit, Song Xiaoru said, "Many things, just because you feel they are wrong now, doesn’t mean they will always be wrong later, and similarly, what you feel is right now might not remain right later, so don’t think too much."

Song Xiaodong squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, then said, "Sister, you are right, I have indeed been too stubborn about this."

"Then shall we go back and see the new wife?" Song Xiaoru teased Song Xiaodong with a smile.

Song Xiaodong grimaced, "There’s no need to see her specifically; we will meet eventually. I’m not going to touch her now, just like Qingyue, if the feelings are not there... It would feel very awkward."

Song Xiaoru said, "But you should still maintain the necessary attitude. It’s rude to just leave her aside, and since she has come in this capacity, that status is set."

Song Xiaoru nodded, "Alright then, I will go back and meet her."

Song Xiaoru chuckled softly, "Don’t make it look like you are so reluctant, she is going to be your woman in the future."

Song Xiaodong’s face darkened, he said, "I feel awkward; it’s like going on a blind date, it’s so uncomfortable."
