Meredith was far from being put off by Carissa and Violet's
unexpected visit. In fact, she welcomed them with great warmth and
enthusiasm.
“I should have sent a formal notice of our visit, but it was an urgent matter. | hope you will forgive our
impromptu arrival,” Carissa apologized.
Meredith smiled. “Why make such formalities between us? It's a pleasure to have you here. Just so happens that
today, Henrietta is also my guest. She overindulged and upset her stomach. She’s currently in the restroom, but
you'll see her shortly.”
“What are you talking about? Meredith, don’t speak nonsense,”
At this moment, Henrietta entered with her attendants. She was holding her stomach and clearly still felt unwell,

Meredith laughed. “Oh, Henrietta, you want to keep up appearances just because Carissa is here. Even if you
refuse to admit it, you're still a glutton, and Kiera’s just following your lead.”
Carissa, Violet, and Rowan greeted her.
“Greetings, Princess Henrietta.”
Henrietta responded with a respectful nod. “Please, sit down. Why stand? Carissa, why do you look so pale
today? Has someone bullied you?”
Carissa took a seat and explained the situation regarding their visit to Gracehold Estate, detailing everything
straightforwardly, including Violet's confrontation with the courtesan.

Henrietta cast an approving glance at Violet. “Well done!”
Then, slamming her hand on the table, she exclaimed,....at kind of audacious woman dares to provoke the
primary wife like that? If she disregards even a princess consort, it's clear how poor Leona must have been
treated in the household! Now, even pregnant, Leona receives no affection from her husband. How is she
supposed to endure such a life?”
Upon hearing this, Meredith understood the purpose of Carissa’s visit.
She took a slow sip from her cup. Her eyes betrayed a hint of anger, but she maintained her composure. As her
father-in-law was the Oversight Minister, it required her to be measured in her responses.
After setting down her cup, she said, “Henrietta, why are you getting so worked up? Calm yourself.”
“Calm down? | can’t possibly calm down!”
Henrietta was not typically rash or fierce, but she deeply understood the struggles faced by women. As a
princess, she lived a life of luxury, but she had also been exposed to the hardships faced by the common people.
“Although our culture allows for concubines,” Meredith said slowly,” there are regulations governing it. However,
the world is ruled by men. Laws exist to protect the primary wife's rights, but they are seldom enforced, and men
often do not adhere to them.
“Our kingdom's laws stipulate that a man can only take concubines if his primary wife is over forty and has not
borne children. Yet, no official or noble family adheres to this rule.”

In practice, the law was effectively useless and couldn men. For the average man, marrying one wife was already
a challenge. As for thewealthy merchants with multiple concubines hidden away in their mansions, no one
bothered to intervene. When it cto government officials, receiving a woman or two from a superior as a
plaything wasn’t exactly something they would refuse.
So bringing up the issue of concubines would hardly lead to action, as few in the court had entirely clean hands.
However, Samuel was different. Government officials were explicty forbidden from visiting entertainment
parlors-a rule the late king had stressed again and again.
Yet, since the new king took the throne, those restrictions had started to loosen.
Moreover, Samuel prided himself on his exceptional talent and enjoyed showcasing it in places like
entertainment parlors, atracting women who admired him
Inadvertently, he becinfatuated with the courtesan in the entertainment parlor and was eager to marry her.
Visiting entertainment parlors and marrying a courtesan was one thing-but doing so while his wife was
pregnant? That crossed a line. Worse still, he arranged to many two concubines
simultaneously, and used the money from one to pay for the other.
In the end, he got the woman he wanted without spending a sirge
coin.
Such conduct was a true disgrace of a man!
