Hu Xueli's eyes lit up and she was extremely excited.

She looked at Shen Hao charmingly and said, "Director Shen, it's great to have you. I don't feel wronged, not at all."

Tao Yingying on the side was dumbfounded. What was going on? Didn’t they ask us to stay to discuss something?

How come you two hooked up?

Hu Xueli knew that she had been engaged before, it was not her first marriage, and she was a virgin.

She is definitely not competitive in Shen Hao's mind, but she has her strengths.

She was also a little scared, worried that Shen Hao would dislike her for being a white tiger.

Moreover, Hu Xueli could see that Shen Hao also had feelings for this girl Tao Yingying.

So, he rolled his eyes and thought:

If I can capture Tao Yingying for Director Shen, then Director Shen will definitely be more satisfied with me.

Well, that should be the case.

So, Hu Xueli took Tao Yingying's hand and said with a sad face: "Hey, sister Yingying, you haven't even gotten married yet, but you've killed your fiancé. If this gets out, your reputation will be bad.

The days ahead will be hard.

If your in-laws don't let you go, you will be a widow for the rest of your life.

Even if I let you go, can you marry into a good family in the future?

Those rumors can kill people."

It would have been better if Hu Xueli didn't say anything. As soon as she said this, Tao Yingying's eyes were immediately filled with tears.

I felt extremely aggrieved.

She was a young girl who usually stayed at home and always believed in the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.

I don't even go to the streets.

I didn't expect that after trying so hard to be a good daughter-in-law, I ended up being a widow. Who would believe this if I told others about it?

There is no point in feeling wronged, this is the way the world is.

It's too cruel to treat women.

When Tao Yingying thought about her miserable life in the future, tears fell like crazy.

Sobbing softly.

Seeing this, Hu Xueli raised the corner of her mouth. This girl has a soft personality and is easy to control.

We can be good sisters in the future.

Hu Xueli is a very smart woman, and she has not suffered any hardship in the past few years following the director, except for consummating her marriage.

I've seen a lot of the world.

I understand even more clearly how bad powerful people are and how they don’t treat women as human beings at all.

That's not the one with three wives and four concubines.

Without concubines, I feel embarrassed to go out.

The Qing Dynasty fell and the Republic of China came.

However, society became even more turbulent. Hu Xueli knew very well that it was not easy for a woman to survive in troubled times. During those years, the prostitution industry developed rapidly.

With her beauty and no one to protect her, the consequences can be imagined.

The eight famous hutongs in Beijing.

In the capital, the people who love to go to the Eight Great Hutongs the most are not ruffians or wealthy people, but the elites from the two houses and one hall.

The two houses refer to the Senate and the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of China.

The "Yitang" refers to the Imperial University of Peking.

Especially those professors and scholars, each one is more lustful than the other.

The favorite place to go was the first-class brothel, called Xiaoban.

The reason why the word "Qingyin" was added is because most of the prostitutes there came from Suzhou, Yangzhou and Hangzhou, all from the south of the Yangtze River. They were more graceful and elegant than women in the north and therefore more valuable.

After being bought at a young age, they began to practice sheng, pipes, silk strings, poetry, calligraphy, rituals and music, so they are also called Nanban.

These hypocritical scholars and officials all have three wives and four concubines, but they still go to the Eight Great Hutongs every day.

The so-called freedom is only the freedom for those officials, while those at the bottom of society are still at the bottom of society.

Therefore, Hu Xueli knew very well that a man like Shen Hao would definitely have many women in the future.

She couldn't stop it.

If you can't change it, just blend in.

So, Hu Xueli thought about winning over a few more sisters so that at least she would have teammates.

We can look after each other in the future.

I have to say that Hu Xueli has a long-term vision.

Another point is that Shen Hao is handsome and tall, which also fits Hu Xueli's aesthetic.

Even if he didn't give her a penny, Hu Xueli would be willing to follow such a man.

What's more, Hu Xueli discovered that Shen Hao also has a bottom line in doing things. He is not the kind of bad person who has no bottom line. Such a man will not be bad to his woman.

This is also the experience that Hu Xueli has learned about judging men over the years.

Seeing Tao Yingying crying endlessly, Shen Hao gave Hu Xueli a look and walked out.

After Shen Hao left, Hu Xueli took Tao Yingying's hand and comforted her softly, "What do you think of this Director Shen?"

Tao Yingying sobbed and nodded, saying, "Director Shen not only saved us, but also gave us 300 yuan. He is a very nice person."

If you have a good impression, there will be a chance.

Hu Xueli smiled and asked again: "How does Director Shen compare to your fiancé?"

Tao Yingying's beautiful eyes flashed with shyness, her cheeks blushed and she said: "Director Shen is the most handsome man I have ever seen, he looks like he came out of a book, his personality and words are also pleasant to listen to."

Hu Xueli rolled her eyes and was speechless.

You, girl, usually never go out of the house. You have only met a few men in these years.

But it’s better this way, as I haven’t seen the world and my requirements are low.

So he gradually coaxed her, "Do you think it's unfair for me to marry Director Shen as a concubine?"

Tao Yingying thought for a moment and said, "I don't feel wronged. I think it's good to be married. It's better than marrying those who do hard labor.

They were bullied outside and would beat their wives when they came home.

It’s better to find a stronger one.”

After saying this, Tao Yingying thought of her father.

A rickshaw puller, after getting angry outside, would beat her mother and her when he got home.

And I always wanted to sell her for a good price.

16. It’s so white!

Hu Xueli was a little surprised to see Tao Yingying was so aware at such a young age.

So she smiled and said, "How about this, you and I become Director Shen's concubines together, so that we can become sisters in the future."

In an instant, two red clouds rose on Tao Yingying's delicate white cheeks. She lowered her head shyly, rubbing her hands continuously, and for a moment she didn't know how to answer.

No refusal means consent.

Hu Xueli smiled and said, "In that case, I will tell Director Shen that we will be sisters from now on."

Tao Yingying hesitated and said, "But, my father won't agree."

Hu Xueli was surprised and asked, "Why?"

Hearing this, Tao Yingying lowered her head in shame.

"My father lost all the betrothal gift that the Zhou family gave him. It was 40 yuan. How could I afford it?"

Tao Yingying felt extremely uncomfortable whenever she thought of her family.

Hu Xueli chuckled and said, "You are still worried about this problem. Don't you think about the fact that you are Director Shen's concubine? How dare your father disagree?

Doesn't he want to stay in the capital anymore?

If Director Shen says one word, your father will probably be eager to give you to Director Shen."

"How do we explain this to the Zhou family? That's 40 dollars," Tao Yingying said.

"This is not something you should consider, it's something Director Shen should consider. You are just considering whether you are willing to be Director Shen's concubine," Hu Xueli asked;

For a moment, the whole office was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

After hesitating for a moment, Tao Yingying shyly glanced at Hu Xueli and said softly: "Sister Xueli, I...I will listen to you from now on."

The corners of Hu Xueli's mouth were the same. This girl was embarrassed.

"Okay, let's go out now."

"Um"

After saying that, Hu Xueli took Tao Yingying's hand and walked out of the office together.

Shen Hao, who was outside, saw the two women coming out and was curious about what they were discussing.

Hu Xueli, whose face was glowing white, winked charmingly at Shen Hao and nodded slightly.

Shen Hao immediately felt relieved.

Just agree, it would be best if you could get married quickly.

After all, the system's mission is to have many children and good fortune.

Having more sons and planting fewer trees is the way to get rich!

"Director Shen, it's alright, let's go back now."

Hu Xueli said softly;

The voice was so soft that many people felt moved after hearing it.

Shen Hao said: "Let's go together. I just happened to be planning to buy a house to live in."

Now that he is the director, Shen Hao doesn't want to put himself in a difficult position.

You can't live in some slum. It would be embarrassing if others told them about it.

Hu Xueli's eyes lit up, and she said hastily, "I know a big yard that will definitely suit your taste, Director Shen."

Shen Hao said: "Oh, really? Let's go and take a look."

"Yes, Director."

Then, Tao Yingying went home first, and Hu Xueli and Shen Hao went to see the courtyard together.

There were four patrolmen following behind.

Now that Shen Hao is the director, he naturally has a carriage to ride in.

In the carriage, Shen Hao stopped pretending to be a gentleman and just hugged Hu Xueli and started to kiss her.

Until Hu Xueli was out of breath.

You know what, Hu Xueli looks like a domineering woman, but her reaction is similar to Bao Shuang’s.

It leaves a refreshing taste in the mouth, which is really memorable.

Soon, under the guidance of Hu Xueli, the carriage arrived at a courtyard house in Badaowan Hutong.

When the patrolmen in front saw Hu Xueli holding Shen Hao's hand in the carriage, they all looked at each other in surprise. In an instant, they couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

A face full of admiration.

Shen Hao said: "You guys wait outside, Xueli and I will go in and take a look."
