"They think he doesn't match, so they want you to take him in," Mrs. Wang hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "They also want you to take male concubines."
Zhao Hanzhang widened her eyes and asked, "Mother, is this really what the elders in the clan think?"
Mrs. Wang nodded repeatedly, then moved closer to her, whispering in her ear, "Do you know your Uncle Qing?"
Zhao Hanzhang nodded.
Mrs. Wang whispered, "Others may have these thoughts and have sent your aunties to sound me out, but your Uncle Qing directly approached your Fifth Uncle, saying you should take male concubines, making your Fifth Uncle very angry. When they came to Luoyang this time, he wasn't allowed to enter the city with the group but was left outside the city."
Zhao Hanzhang clicked her tongue in amazement, "I must be... inexperienced, unlike my uncles who are so formidable."
Mrs. Wang reached out and tapped her, scolding, "These are just words to listen to, you shouldn't think that way."
