The Young Master Sheng didn't realize he was essentially eavesdropping; he was just listening to the conversation between Qi Cheng and Tang Yanqi, feeling a flicker of peculiarity in his heart.
And when he heard Tang Yanqi say: "In the Tang Family, there are sons, not daughters."
This sentence made Sheng Jianan's heart ache instantly.
Besides Tang Yanqi, there's also a son in the Tang Family who is quite a bit older than she is; Sheng Jianan knew this, so, does the Tang Family favor males over females?
Because Tang Yanqi is a girl, is that why she's so unwelcomed in the Tang Family?
Thinking of all the past occurrences, especially how Tang Yanqi hardly carries the demeanor of a noble lady, Sheng Jianan found his answer.
This gender bias thing isn't rare in wealthy families, but usually it's just that most of the assets are left to the sons with daughters receiving less; yet, the disparity for Tang Yanqi is truly quite vast.
