Madam Shen was unable to bear children, so she wanted to buy a respectable concubine to carry on the family line for Eldest Master Shen.
A respectable concubine received two taels of silver every month, and even got to eat white rice with braised pork.
The moment I heard the news, I immediately told my mother to take me into the city to sign up.
My mother smacked me on the head and snapped, “I’ve given birth to three children, and you’re the stupidest of the lot!”
