Second Young Master Xie was a notorious wastrel.
I lived under the Xie Family’s roof and bent over backward to please him, yet he looked down on me all the same.
He thought I was trying to climb my way up by clinging to him, and sneered at me.
“With looks like hers, I wouldn’t take her even as a concubine.”
Then his mother took him by the arm and told him to call me sister-in-law.
“This son of mine is the only one I still worry about. Thank goodness I have you to help me look after him.”
That night, he climbed over the wall and pinned me into a corner, asking in a coaxing voice, “If I become your concubine instead… will you take me?”
