“This absolutely cannot be allowed!” Madam Zhong hurriedly retorted, “Did you know that this woman used to be a prostitute? Do you want her to return to her old career by letting her set up an independent female household?”

Fang Ru’s face instantly paled. Madam Zhong was undoubtedly stepping on her pride and livelihood by uncovering her past in front of so many people! If she didn’t have a child, and if the child wasn’t so young, she would’ve committed suicide to prove her innocence!

Ye Mu was furious by Madam Zhong’s comment. So, what if she was a woman? Can’t women hold the other half of the sky along with men? Originally, Ye Mu was being quite courteous with the Zhong Family. But now, the Zhong Family completely infuriated her. She said to Mo Linyuan seriously, “Your Majesty, I still need a female servant to serve me. Can you give me this woman? If she is sent to the Zhong Family, she will undoubtedly die. If she can still live, why should we let her die?”

Ye Mu’s words made everyone stunned. This woman was a concubine of the Zhong Family. If she tried to erase her past by accepting her as a female servant, wasn’t this slapping the Zhong Family’s face to the ground?

Mo Linyuan narrowed his eyes, “Why? You need to give me a good reason to persuade me.”

Ye Mu smiled and knew that Mo Linyuan was on her side. It was easy to find a reason for this.

“Your Majesty, if you think about it, the world is divided and there’s a lot of hostilities between the different spheres of power. War might break out at any moment. We need a new army to protect us. Just now, the Zhong Family’s intentions were obvious, they wanted to kill this child. This way, Young Master Zhong can marry Miss Wen from the Wen Family. However, Miss Wen will not want to marry Young Master Zhong if she finds out that he has an illegitimate child. Numerous children in this world will follow their example of killing illegitimate children to save their face and pride. These innocent children could’ve been the pillars of our Mo Country in the future, yet they were killed before they can contribute to our Mo Country. In order to prevent this, we need to set an example for everyone else to follow.”

“You’re shoving false arguments down people’s throat!” The Zhong Family was baffled by his explanation. The emperor will not let the woman go because of this ridiculous reason, right?

Mo Linyuan poked Ye Mu’s forehead dotingly. Although it wasn’t wise for him to go against the Zhong Family, there was nothing he could do since Ye Mu wanted to go against them.

“What you said is correct.” Mo Linyuan nodded his head prudently, “Every child in the Mo Country is the future hope for our country. These children should be protected. Since the Zhong Family doesn’t want this child, then this child will be renamed Li. He will be raised for the royal family and grow up to contribute to our country.”

Mo Linyuan’s words made the Zhong Family hate Ye Mu to their bones! It was uncertain how angry Miss Wen will be once she found out that her son already had a son!

Madam Zhong straightened her back and stared darkly at Fang Ru, “This woman is the concubine of the Zhong Family. This means that we can take her away, right?!”

Ye Mu looked at her incredulously, “She’s just a concubine, I’ll just redeem her from you. Do you want to separate the mother and the child that badly? I’ve always heard that the Zhong Family has a reputation for being benevolent and virtuous.”

She dug around her sleeve and took out a piece of gold ingot and threw it at Madam Zhong’s feet.

“Although a concubine only costs around a dozen taels of silver, you don’t have to give me back the change. I have money anyways!”
