Zhou lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the old lady. Su looked guilty, and most importantly, the old lady closed her eyes so that no one could tell whether she was happy or angry.
But Zhou guessed that the old lady might be very angry, so she knelt on the ground silently, lowered her head and dared not look at her.
The next moment, another figure knelt beside him.
"Sister-in-law, all the mistakes are my fault. You don't have to kneel with me. Get up quickly."
"Sister-in-law, stop talking. I'd better kneel down." The smile on Su's face was uglier than crying.
Zhou didn't understand, and the old lady had some guesses in her mind. The corners of her lips twitched slightly. She wanted to ask the two to get up, but her attention was attracted by the system's words.
System: [Master Zhou never goes to their yard at night.]
Hearing this, Ning Zhiyi's pupils trembled slightly, his breathing became a little faster, and he blurted out subconsciously: "Bai Ri Xuan Yin, Long Yang."
"Bang." Anhua was startled by these words. He was half-kneeling on the ground, but his feet slipped and he fell directly to the ground.
The Second Prince burst out laughing, spitting saliva all over the Second Prince's wife's face, "Oh my god, what's wrong with Ning Zhiyi's brain? How could she have so many strange ideas? If Lord An heard about it, he would be so angry that he would die."
The Second Prince's wife wiped the saliva from her face, smiled sinisterly, and reached her hand straight to his waist.
"Ow!"
It’s too late. The Sixth Prince covered the Second Prince’s mouth and said mockingly:
"Brother, hold it in. Just spit on my sister-in-law and get pinched twice. If you disturb her from eating melon, you may not see the sun tomorrow."
"That's right! I'll beat your eyes swollen!" The Second Prince's wife waved her fists with a fierce look on her face.
"Yeah." The person who was pinched and grimaced nodded quickly, indicating that he would definitely not make any sound.
Before the Second Prince's wife could breathe a sigh of relief, Ning Zhiyi asked, "Did you hear the dog barking?"
An Xiang thought about it and shook her head. An Hua had a look of despair on his face, as if the sky had fallen. His father turned out to be Long Yang. What should his mother do?
Is his warm and harmonious family going to break up? He is fine, as a man should be strong, but how can his sister accept this bad news.
"Oh, maybe I heard it wrong."
A pink embroidered shoe inlaid with pearls reached out and gently kicked Anhua. After seeing the dull expression on her brother's face, the little girl An Xiang rolled her eyes gracefully.
She was mad at her silly brother. He was a boy and received a different education from girls. She didn't understand that these three people must have their mother's consent before entering the house.
In other words, these three people walked a clear path in front of my mother, so there is no big problem, or the threat is not big.
Zhou suddenly stood up from the ground, saying, "No, my husband doesn't have any sexual preferences." But after being glanced at by the old lady, she knelt down again quickly.
The old lady said: "Everyone, stand up. No need to kneel."
She just took a look and realized that they were all family and there was no need to kneel down.
[Stop! Stop! Host, please get this terrible idea out of your mind. Lord An is a positive character. Please don't think of him as a villain.] The system was shocked by Ning Zhiyi's thoughts and it took a long time to recover.
[It was because the adults outside always liked to give beauties to each other, especially those with few concubines in the backyard, who were the main targets of their gifts. Lord An was afraid of being annoyed, so he asked these three brothers to dress up as women, thinking that if he had other people in his backyard, he would be able to shut up the outsiders.]
[Amitabha, I'm sorry, Master An, I was wrong and shouldn't have thought of you like this.] Ning Zhiyi put his hands together and apologized sincerely. His big eyes rolled around and suddenly he had a new idea.
[Lord An himself ruined his own luck with women. He is the third child. I am a little curious about the appearance of the concubine of Master An, the father of the Second Prince's wife, Master An. His concubine must be a normal person, right?]
The system got stuck, and after careful wording, he said:
[Uh, trust me, host, you don't want to see this, stop irritating your eyes, just let them go. ]
【You have to know that brothers always have similar interests. 】
The Second Prince's wife shuddered, and suddenly thought of her father's concubines who were different from ordinary people. She had met several of them once when she was a child, and she only remembered that they all had their own "characteristics" in appearance.
Before I could take a closer look, those people were sent away by my mother. Could it be that...
The Second Prince and the Sixth Prince looked at the Second Prince's wife with suspicion. There must be something behind this!
Anhua was immersed in the happiness of staying at home without having to leave. Anxiang had a simple personality and the two were confused. Could it be that the one with a fetish for ugliness was not their father but their uncle?
Zhou nudged Su beside her with her arm, looking curious. She seemed to have never seen the concubines in the main courtyard. Those concubines were as elusive as the ones in her own courtyard.
Su closed her eyes. Those people could only stay in a specific courtyard and were not allowed to go out without being summoned. The courtyard gate had three locks and there were always people guarding the gate day and night. Not to mention other people, she had only seen them a few times.
[Birds of a feather flock together. Could it be that Lord An's three concubines were chosen based on the concubines of General An?] Ning Zhiyi asked a soul-searching question.
[Eh, there is an unusual smell. ]
The system didn't dare to let her continue guessing, fearing that General An's reputation would be ruined, so it sped up its speech:
[This is the secret of the An family's inheritance for a hundred years. They don't have the concept of having three wives and four concubines. They think that having one wife is good enough, but they don't want to be too conspicuous, so they find people who are about to starve to death in poor families who can't afford to support them, and have them dress up as women to pretend to be their concubines.]
[Looking back at the hundred years of inheritance of the An family, every child was born by the wife, the children in the family are friendly and harmonious, the whole family is united, and there has never been a drag. ]
[Even if they are dandy, they are very clear about their position. If they are not capable of contributing to the family, then they should not cause trouble for the family. They just follow what the elders and brothers say. In their spare time, they should show filial piety in front of the elders and entertain their parents with colorful clothes.]
[Wow, that's great!] This is a compliment from the bottom of his heart. Ning Zhiyi thinks this method is very good. Nowadays, it is too conspicuous for a mansion not to take concubines. It is like erecting a glowing target in the dark night. There will always be people who want to hit it.
Don't doubt it, there are people who can't stand others doing better than they are. Whether it's out of dislike or jealousy, they always want to give someone a concubine to show off their presence.
[Then Old Master An... Hey, Tong'er, I'm just curious. ]
The system confirmed her idea, [Well, the old master's concubine was also a man in disguise. In fact, they didn't use this method at the beginning. The ancestors of the An family also took concubines at the beginning, but they were used as decorations. However, the effect was not good. The house was still full of smoke and miasma, and it almost killed a direct descendant of the An family. ]
[So the old man of the An family at that time gave this order to the men of the An family: they could have concubines, but they could not be girls, and they had to explain this to their wives on the night of the wedding. Facts have proved that this is a very good method.]
[This old man deserves to be enshrined in the imperial temple, give him all kinds of thumbs up! ] Ning Zhiyi transformed into Ning Kuakua and praised him crazily.
Su and Zhou secretly glanced at the old lady, and smiles appeared on their faces. They blamed their husbands for not explaining that this was a tradition of the An family. They thought that only their own family did this, and they were always afraid of being discovered by their mother-in-law.
"Look how scared you two are. What if I find out? Can I eat you?" The old lady smiled and winked at the two of them.
To be honest, she didn't know at first that this was the tradition of the An family. She only understood it after her two sons started doing the same. She had no objection to this and thought it was a good thing.
Being united and harmonious as a family is more important than anything else.
Anhua scratched his head, An family tradition?
How come he doesn’t know about this? Dad didn’t tell him!
[Does Anhua know about this? If so, then Young Master Anhua is a perfect match! ]
System: [He doesn’t know about this. Only fifteen-year-old men in the An family are qualified to know this. He is only fourteen years old this year.]
[He is a good match, host, speak your mind boldly!!] The system's voice was full of temptation, like a goblin tempting people to commit crimes.
