BHBF Chapter 73.4

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 73.4: Playful Son (4)

Upon hearing this, Shao Jiashan became determined and said, “They said that the courtesan looked a lot like my mother, only younger and prettier. When I heard them humiliating my mother like this, I felt indignant and a conflict broke out.”

After Shao Jiashan finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Han and said, “Mother, it’s because your son is useless that they are like this…”

Xiao Han’s face turned pale at this time and she looked at Shao Yu.

She was a lady of noble title, but she was treated like this by a group of playboys behind her back, which was really embarrassing.

After hearing this, Shao Yu slammed the table and said, “How ridiculous! They are really a bunch of dandies!”

After saying that, Shao Yu stood up and said, “I’d like to ask their parents who taught them to say such things.”

Xiao Han came to her senses within three seconds, and hurriedly grabbed Shao Yu and said, “Master, you can’t go. You must not go.”

“If this gets out of hand, how can I still live in this world with dignity?”

Xiao Han was extremely anxious, fearing that Shao Yu would not be able to come to his senses in time and would go out and make a big deal out of it.

Shao Jiashan also understood this truth, and said to Shao Yu: “Dad, please beat me. If you beat me up, Chen Erhu outside will not bother me anymore, and this will not damage my mother’s reputation.”

Shao Yu looked at Xiao Han. Shao Jiashan treated Xiao Han so sincerely, but Xiao Han still schemed against him.

“No, this kind of thing cannot be tolerated!” Shao Yu still pretended to go out and settle the score.

Xiao Han was so anxious that tears came out of her eyes. She had a pair of children and had already planned their future. How could she want her children’s future to be affected because of her blemish on her reputation as a mother?

Therefore, she could not let Shao Yu expose the matter no matter what.

“Madam, you don’t have to say anything more. Lord Chen is so indulgent to his children because he must be holding a grudge against the marriage between the Marquis’ Mansion and you. You have worked so hard for this family for so many years. I will never let you suffer this injustice.”

Xiao Han was also a famous beauty when she was young. Now, the woman who looks like her is the most beautiful courtesan in the capital. In the future, her daughter who looks very similar to her will also be a stunning beauty.

Many years ago, Lord Chen’s younger brother fell in love with Xiao Han’s beauty and wanted to marry her, but was rejected by the Han family. Instead, he married his daughter to Shao Yu as a concubine.

Although this incident happened many years ago, the two families have never been able to overcome this hurdle.

“Master, forget it. Just put up with this matter. Although the Chen Marquis’ Mansion looks glamorous on the outside, but if it indulges its young men like this, the Mansion will have no successor. If this continues, God will take its course. Why let you work so hard?” Xiao Han advised.

Shao Yu listened to Xiao Han’s confident words and immediately asked, “Madam, what rumors have you heard? Why are you so sure that something will happen in Chen Hou’s Mansion?”

Xiao Han paused after hearing this, and immediately explained: “No, I just think that the Chen family is completely courting their own destruction by doing this.”

Shao Yu stared at her, as if testing her, and said, “I see. I almost thought that Madam had the ability to predict the future.”

When Xiao Han heard this, her heart skipped a beat and her eyes dodged for a moment.

It was this subtle change in an instant that was caught by Shao Yu. He had already suspected that there was something wrong with Xiao Han, and now seeing her like this, he became more certain.

Shao Yu has done a lot of tasks, so he knows that in some worlds, there will be some reincarnated people or people who travel through books for unknown reasons.

Shao Yu vaguely felt that Xiao Han should be one of them.

“Father, no matter how angry you are, mother’s reputation is more important. You have to endure it even if you don’t want to.” Shao Jiashan, who always stirs up trouble outside, suddenly changed his attitude and began to persuade Shao Yu earnestly.

Since it was related to her personal reputation, Xiao Han kept nodding her head.

Shao Yu chuckled and said, “You are all wrong.”

Xiao Han and Shao Jiashan both looked puzzled.

Shao Yu continued, “Suppressing your anger will only make the other party more aggressive. Some things are actually not a big deal once they are spoken out.”

“But she is a courtesan, a girl from a brothel,” said Shao Jiashan.

The reason why he competed with these people for the most beautiful girl was to redeem her and let her live a normal life. He didn’t want a woman who looked like his mother to fall into prostitution.

In ancient times, women’s reputations were very important, and even the slightest damage could affect their lives. Therefore, even though Shao Jiashan was filled with anger at this time, he still did not want to reveal the specific reason. He would even rather swallow his anger and get beaten to stop Shao Yu.

But his idea was too naive after all.

Shao Yu continued, “So what if she’s a courtesan? Does that make her your mother’s resemblance? She became a courtesan just because she looks a bit like your mother. This only shows your mother’s beauty and nothing else.”

Shao Jiashan and Xiao Han were both stunned when they heard this.

But Xiao Han reacted quickly. She understood that although what Shao Yu said made sense, people in her social circle would never believe such logic.

If the matter really got out of hand, her reputation would be entangled with that of the courtesan. A lady who was compared with a courtesan would only get ridicule from others and would no longer have any respect.
