Xiao Huan was a little confused by all the twists and turns involved.
"Even if she isn't chosen, as long as people find out that she went to the Ye family this time, I'm afraid that even an ordinary Merchant Family wouldn't marry her through proper rites anymore. Her reputation has already been ruined."
Xiao Huan blinked. "You mean it would be best if Miss were chosen?"
But for someone as wonderful as Miss to become a concubine—that would be far too unfair to her.
Nanny Wu's purpose in coming here was to do everything possible to keep Miss in Flying Eagle Fortress. Otherwise, she would have no way to answer to the Su family.
"Of course."
"Although she would only be Young Master Ye's concubine, he is the Young Master of Flying Eagle Fortress. He will very likely become the Fortress Lord in the future."
Even as a concubine, it depended on whose concubine one was.
For example, could a concubine of the Emperor really be called a concubine?
She would be an Imperial Concubine, a lofty Empress.
As long as the child Madam Ye was carrying was a daughter, Young Master Ye's becoming the future Fortress Lord would be a certainty.
Xiao Huan had always felt that it was a terrible thing for such a wonderful Miss to become the concubine of Young Master Ye, whose temperament was said to be extremely strange. But after hearing Nanny Wu say this, she began to feel that it was actually a good thing.
"Then if Miss really is chosen, and later gives Young Master Ye a son, would there be any chance of her taking the position of principal wife?"
"Stop fantasizing. There's no chance." The position of principal wife was not something one could obtain simply by being beautiful.
