"What else can you do?" Mu Jinyuan raised an eyebrow and looked at the shamelessly audacious Shen Mochu, thinking his head was truly redundant. "If the Heir is willing to lower his status to accompany a concubine on her return home, I have no objections. But if word gets out that the Yongning Marquis Estate has made such a massive scene over a concubine, I wonder if the Marquis and the Marchioness would be angered to death by you?"
As soon as she mentioned the Yongning Marquis Estate, the arrogance on Shen Mochu's face gradually faded. After all, accompanying a concubine on her return home was hardly a glorious affair. The Flower Banquet had already caused the estate to lose face; if they were to give people more grounds for gossip, the reputation of the Yongning Marquis Estate would suffer even more.
However, he could not admit defeat in front of Mu Jinyuan. "I have decided that Xia'er is the only one for me in this life. You keep fixating on her status as a concubine only because that is the only area in which she falls short of you. But she will be my Heir's Wife sooner or later! You will pay for your condescending attitude today; eventually, you will be kneeling at Xia'er's feet! I’ll be waiting for you to cry when that day comes!" Shen Mochu declared firmly, then pulled Mu Jinxia away.
