Chapter 365: Accepting You as a Concubine
Ivy crossed her arms, firmly blocking the door, and sighed intentionally. "Ah, marrying a chicken follows the rooster, marrying a dog follows the dog. Throughout history, which man hasn't been unfaithful? By the way, you mentioned a good solution just now. What was it?"
Upon hearing this, Emily became interested. "I was saying that you should give up Alexander and let me marry him instead. You can marry..."
Ivy suddenly interrupted, "There's no need to continue. That's far enough."
Confused, Emily asked, "What do you mean?"
Ivy explained, "My meaning is simple. Since Alexander has already taken advantage of you, he should take responsibility for you. Therefore, let's make use of today's auspicious day and have Alexander accept you as a concubine. From now on, I will be the main wife, and you will be the secondary wife. If you have no objections, put on your clothes, come before the guests, and serve tea to me, the main wife. Then, it will be considered that you have entered the door!"
Ivy, don't play around," Alexander said sternly.
"I'm not playing around, I'm serious," Ivy blinked at Alexander, then turned to Emily and said, "Emily, it's impossible for me to give up Alexander. After all, we already have a four-year-old child together! After much thought, the only good solution is for you to become a concubine, allowing you to enter the Ashford family openly. If you agree, go out and serve me tea now. If you disagree, please stay away from Alexander from now on."
Emily stared at Ivy in disbelief. "Are you not joking? What era is it now? Marrying a wife and taking concubines? Do you want to make Alexander guilty of bigamy?"
Thinking to herself, if Alexander isn't afraid of committing bigamy, she could become his concubine and enter the Ashford family. With her abilities, she could handle Ivy. Ivy's lips curled slightly. "How would it be possible for Alexander to commit bigamy? As long as you don't sleep with him or get a marriage certificate, it wouldn't be considered bigamy!"
Emily's face hardened. "Then what's the point of becoming a concubine?"
"It has its significance. At least, it gives you a title! From now on, you can proudly carry the title of the Second Lady of Alexander. No one would dare to offend or bully you."
Emily knew Ivy was humiliating her, but she had to admit that this was an opportunity to enter the Ashford family.
"So, you want me to become a concubine, Ivy? You really know how to play. I accept your offer. I will go out and serve you tea now. After the banquet is over, I will return to the Ashford family with you! As long as you're not afraid of others' gossip, I, Emily, am not afraid either!"
"Ivy!" Alexander frowned and whispered, "If you talk about taking concubines to other women, women with self-respect will find it difficult to accept."
Wait, don't you know who Emily is? She has no self-esteem at all and will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. If she really enters the Ashford family... "
"Hush..." Ivy covered Alexander's mouth. "Listen to me once, you won't be wrong!"
Alexander looked at Ivy's charming and determined eyes and knew that she must have come up with the best solution. So he let Ivy go and do what she wanted.
Emily quickly put on her clothes and pointed to her torn clothes, saying, "Brother Alexander, you tore my clothes."
Alexander frowned, but before he could speak, Ivy said, "It's just a piece of clothing. Once you become the second lady of the Ashford family, you'll have endless clothes to wear every day!"
Upon hearing this, Emily's face lit up with joy. It seemed that Ivy had really agreed to let Alexander marry her as a concubine.
After Emily got dressed, Ivy opened the door to the private room and kindly held Emily's hand. "Little sister, walk slowly and be careful of the steps!"
Emily looked at the ground intentionally. Where were the steps? What did Ivy mean by saying that?
