“Even if you want to become a concubine, Prince Hao still needs to be willing to accept you . ” Su Xi-er’s expression became serious as she took a few steps forwards and stopped in front of Mei Jinxiu . “From what I see, your Mei Family’s ancestral teachings can be abolished . ”
Mei Jinxiu shook her head repeatedly . “That won’t do . All generations must abide by our ancestral teachings . I beg of you, I’m fine with just being a concubine . ”
“Don’t you understand the meaning of ‘get out’?” Pei Qianhao’s voice was cold and harsh, his gaze only staying on Mei Jinxiue for an instant before moving to Su Xi-er .
Su Xi-er immediately made a gesture at Mei Jinxiu . “Miss Mei, please leave . ”

Mei Jinxiu was unwilling to leave and continued kneeling . Her originally heroic and valiant demeanour had become pitiful . “Prince Hao, it would do even if you simply spread some false news . I just need the status of a concubine . ”
“Get out . ” Pei Qianhao’s brow was slightly furrowed . I shouldn’t have agreed to Su Xi-er’s request to let Mei Jinxiu in .
“Prince Hao, I can see that you favour your maidservant greatly, and I won’t dare to try to come between you . All I need is the status of a concubine, lest the Mei Family elders remove me from the position of head of the family . I can’t watch as they support a man who isn’t related to the Mei Family by blood to take over . Please, I beg you to make an exception and give me some leeway . ” Not wanting to see the Mei Family being snatched away from her, Mei Jinxiu was currently willing to do anything .

Su Xi-er looked at her as she went on kowtowing . For the sake of protecting the Mei Family, such an arrogant person has become so obsequious . Fate really is cruel . It’s likely that the Mei Family elders have already come to a decision, and are only looking for an excuse to get rid of Mei Jinxiu .
“Miss Mei, even if Prince Hao takes you in, you won’t be able to return to the Mei Family and remain as the household head . You should understand that the root cause of the problem is your Mei Family itself; what use is there for you to come and beg Prince Hao?” Su Xi-er’s tone became gentler .
Pei Qianhao looked at her . Mei Jinxiu said that I like Su Xi-er just now, yet she didn’t have any reaction after hearing that .
“This…” Mei Jinxiu was taken aback, her mouth agape in incredulity . “The elders are already 60 to 70 years old, and they watched me grow up . How is it possible for them to betray me?”

“Miss Mei, sometimes things can’t be seen with just your eyes . You should hurry and leave . ” Su Xi-er then stood up and opened the door .
Mei Jinxiu’s expression was frozen . She couldn’t believe that the Mei Family elders would do something like that . They’re just blaming me for not following the ancestral teachings . She pursed her lips as she looked at Pei Qianhao . “Prince Hao, I just need a status, and I’m fine with being a concubine . Is that too much to ask for?”
Pei Qianhao’s gaze landed on Su Xi-er as he replied, “How could this Prince take you in if you aren’t even to my maidservant’s liking?”
To put it bluntly, he was simply telling her “Su Xi-er doesn’t like you, and that goes twice for this Prince . ”
Mei Jinxiu’s complexion turned pale as she stared at Su Xi-er . She could only slowly stand and bow, a trace of envy in her eyes . “I understand now . It’s just that with my body already seen by you, I won’t be marrying anyone else in this lifetime . ”
She then walked out of the room door . I have to go back and investigate meticulously if the elders really betrayed me .
Inside the room, Su Xi-er laughed . “Prince Hao, Miss Mei is going to remain unmarried for all her life because of you . ”
Pei Qianhao lightly tapped his finger on the table . “These words sound a little sour . ”
