Chương 289: Can a daimyo have three wives and four concubines?

Chapter 289 Can a powerful official have three wives and four concubines?

"Yaohime, what happened? What did Yosei say?"

When Haiyao returned to the Daming Mansion of the Sea Kingdom under the protection of guards, a plump and beautiful woman in her thirties, dressed in palace attire, anxiously came up to greet him and asked him questions.

This voluptuous and beautiful woman was none other than Haiyao's mother, and also one of the former daimyo's concubines.

The fact that the former daimyo could send his wife and daughter away to save his life without hesitation when faced with a life-or-death threat shows that Haiyao and his wife's mother, as illegitimate daughters and concubines, actually had a very low status in the daimyo's mansion.

The former daimyo of the Land of the Sea was not only incompetent and foolish, but also a womanizer, spending his days either taking concubines or on his way to take concubines.

Because of this, he actually had many children, but the only one he truly cared about was the legitimate son born to his deceased wife.

As for the other children, to the former daimyo, they were nothing more than tools for marriage alliances and gifts for him to curry favor with powerful figures.

As for his legitimate son, Hai Yao's half-brother, he inherited his father's insatiable lust and even coveted his mother's beauty.

If Yang Cheng hadn't stormed into Daming Prefecture that day, Hai Yao would probably have been given away as a gift sooner or later, becoming a plaything for some powerful figures.

As for her plump and beautiful mother, she will probably suffer the same fate at the hands of that scoundrel son.

Originally, the mother and daughter were already in dire straits in Daming Prefecture.

For this reason, when Haiyao saw Yang Cheng massacre the daimyo and his son, he not only did not feel angry, but even felt a sense of satisfaction.

With the loss of Daming Prefecture, they would also lose their last protection. Haiyao, thinking that the situation could not get any worse, resolutely knelt down in front of Yang Cheng and swore to serve him in exchange for a chance to save her and her mother's lives.

And as it turns out, she made the right bet!

Her life with her mother these past two years is completely different from what it used to be.

Although she claimed to be Yang Cheng's puppet, since she joined Yang Cheng's cause, he had never given her a single order; on the contrary, he had helped her a great deal.

Yang Cheng helped stabilize the turbulent nobles in the country and sent ninjas as guards to protect himself and his mother—in short, many of the things Yang Cheng did made the mother and daughter extremely grateful.

"Mother, haven't I said it many times? Lord Yangcheng is our savior."

Although I am a well-known figure in the public eye, we must recognize our own position. It's fine to joke around occasionally, but we can't take ourselves too seriously, or we'll only annoy others.

Before Haiyao could finish speaking, her mother waved her hand to interrupt, saying, "Alright, alright, I understand. You should hurry up and tell me the results this time."

Haiyao sighed helplessly at her mother, who was much older than her but sometimes acted more childishly.

Yang Cheng said that we can ignore the threat from the Land of Water and that Kirigakure is actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Since the Fourth Mizukage's bloody policies, the strength of their ninja village has been reduced to less than three-tenths.

Even now, in Kirigakure, after the death of the Fourth Mizukage, no new Mizukage has taken over, and the entire village is constantly in turmoil, so they have no time to care about us.

He also said that even if Kirigakure really came knocking, he was capable of handling it, so I wouldn't need to use my happiness as a bargaining chip and could find someone I liked to marry.

Upon hearing what Haiyao said, her mother immediately beamed with joy.

"I knew Yang Cheng wouldn't just stand by and watch that child die!"

And you don't need to scare your mother every time. Yang Cheng is a good boy, not as scary as you say.

Upon hearing that her daughter wouldn't be forced to marry the second son of the Land of Water, Haige breathed a huge sigh of relief. Then, like a young girl, she puffed up her cheeks and warned her daughter not to scare her anymore.

Does Hai Ge not know Yang Cheng's personality?

In the beginning, when Yang Cheng arrived at Daming Prefecture, Hai Ge was indeed quite afraid and uneasy about him.

After all, although the other party looked like just a teenager, he dared to assassinate a lord of a country, which made him a ruthless character.

However, after several subsequent encounters, Haige gradually discovered that Yang Cheng was actually quite approachable. He would even bring gifts and snacks every time he visited and would take the initiative to greet her.

Over time, Haige let go of her fear and tried to communicate with Yang Cheng. After all, no matter what, he was the one who helped her and her daughter escape their suffering.

In their subsequent interactions, Haige gradually discovered that Yang Cheng was not the villain she had imagined at all.

On the contrary, this child was not only humble and polite, but also thoughtful and caring. This led Haige to gradually change her opinion of Yang Cheng and become more and more affectionate towards him.

Nowadays, whenever Yang Cheng arrives in Daming Prefecture, Hai Ge will come to visit him and treat him like a son.

The fear she once felt towards Yang Cheng has now been replaced by a familiar, elder-like address: "that child."

"Even if Yang Cheng is a good child, we are still living under someone else's roof. Mother can't really treat him as her own child, can she?"

"Who says it's not possible? If you marry Yang Cheng, then Yang Cheng will also be my child."

You're only two years apart, right? And one of you is a famous person, while the other is a sea shadow, so there's absolutely no problem with your identities.

In the future, your children will be able to rightfully inherit the position of Daimyo of the Sea Kingdom, ensuring that it doesn't benefit outsiders.

Who said their mother wasn't smart? Turns out, Mom had been planning this all along!

"So, Mother, you're so good to Yang Cheng, it's not because of this, is it? —"

"Of course not. Yang Cheng is a lovable child, and he has given us mother and daughter a second chance at life. It's not strange that I would show him some care."

Of course, it would be even better if we could become related through marriage. I've long wanted a son, Haiyao, you'd better make it work!

In front of her mother, Haiyao had no reason to hide anything and directly admitted that she did indeed have feelings for Yang Cheng.

"Mother, it's not that simple. Yang Cheng has Yu Huo by his side, and as far as I know, he also has a childhood sweetheart from Konoha Village—"

"Haiyao, I think you're usually quite smart, so why did you make such a foolish mistake in this kind of thing?"

If you marry Yang Cheng, he can also become the Daimyo of the Sea Kingdom. And isn't it normal for a Daimyo to have multiple wives and concubines?

As long as Yang Cheng and the others don't mind, they can bring Yu Huo and Konoha's childhood sweethearts over as concubines.

(Many people don't understand why I devoted two chapters to the daughter of a daimyo. This is the reason: in order to have more girls, I had no choice but to become a daimyo. (Stands up))
