Chapter 40: The Fifth Aunt is Zhao Dan!

  Upon hearing this, the four members of Madam's family turned pale with rage, their faces as ugly as could be. On the other hand, Zhu Shi remained calm and composed.

  "This fifth aunt who is about to enter our household, isn't a disorganized person, but rather the daughter of a prestigious family. Although her current family situation has declined, Fifth Aunt herself is knowledgeable and reasonable, with exceptional talent, an extraordinary woman who is hard to come by." Yun Shangren said as he got more excited, "I think you should have also heard, it's about that great talented woman Yu Dan, whom everyone has been talking about recently."

  Upon hearing this, Yun Jingxi's eyes sparkled with a hint of brightness as he looked at Yun Jinchu beside him. Yun Jinchu lowered his head, stroking the uninjured back, while Wu Shuang comfortably narrowed his eyes, enjoying the affectionate touch. Both the person and the dog had an otherworldly expression, seemingly unconcerned about what was happening before them.

  Only Yun Jingxi knew that all of this was actually planned and arranged by Yun Jinchu.

  Yu Dan is actually Zhao Erniang, Miss Zhao Dan. The little book Yun Jing initially gave to Zhao Dan was "Chancellor Yun Shangren's Record of Likes and Dislikes", and later he also gave her a collection of his own poetry and prose.

  After successfully transforming Shi Yao into Zhao Lian, Yun Jingchu had already arranged for Yu Dan's identity for Zhao Dan.

  Yu Dan, a descendant of a fallen noble family, her ancestors above her great-grandfather's generation were all high-ranking officials, but from her grandfather's generation, they began to decline, and by her generation, they had become even lower than ordinary people. Of course, the real Yu Dan was already a member of the Dark Night Rain organization.

  Yu Dan first released several stunning poems, which were hailed by some literati as masterpieces. Under the deliberate embellishment and promotion of those with ulterior motives, Yu Dan's reputation as a talented woman immediately spread throughout the capital, making her a sought-after figure among scholars and nobles, and a guest of honor at aristocratic gatherings.

  As for how she got together with Yun Shangren and made him willing to take her as his concubine, the specific details were not clear to Yun Juechu, but she could guess roughly.

  "Today, I've called you all here to tell you that although she is my concubine, a secondary wife, I have great respect for her. You must treat her well and not be even slightly neglectful or disdainful." Yun Shangren said solemnly, his eyes sternly scanning the crowd.

  Originally, when a government official wanted to take a concubine, he only needed to discuss it with his wife. Sometimes, if the wife was weak-willed, they wouldn't even need to discuss it before bringing the person home. Now, Yun Shangren is making a big deal out of it by calling everyone in the household together, showing how much importance he attaches to Yu Dan.

  The lady's calm face could no longer be maintained, "Sir, isn't this a bit...?"

  "What's wrong with you, madam?" The doctor's words were cut off by Yun Shangren's cold interruption.

  "Uh...this..." The madam was momentarily at a loss for words, unable to articulate her reason.

  It is a man's natural right to take concubines, and as his wife, not only can she not stop him, but sometimes she must also encourage her husband to take several more concubines in order to expand the family.

  If in private, she could still use the excuse of many years of husband and wife feelings to stop Yun Shangren from taking a concubine, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, she could only use legitimate reasons, however, there was no legitimate reason that could stop Yun Shangren from taking a concubine.

  "Madam also thinks there's nothing wrong with it?" Yun Shangren sneered and replied coldly.

  As a high-ranking official, apart from Zhu Shi who had already been promoted to be his wife, Yun Shangren also took in two concubines. These two concubines had long been driven to death by the first lady. He knew all about this, but since he didn't have strong feelings for these two concubines, he just turned a blind eye. Now that he had finally met a woman he truly liked, he would not back down again.

  "...What do you think, sister?" After being stared at by Yun Shangren for a long time, the madam hesitated before looking at Zhu Shi with a flash of her eyes.
