Everyone thought it was unbelievable that the Cen Widow would marry Shang Shisan.
Apart from some ancestral farmland, Shang Shisan's family was actually very poor. The Cen Widow was clearly someone who loved money, so how could she willingly marry him as a concubine?
Could it really be because she liked Shang Shisan?
But Shang Shisan wasn't particularly handsome either.
In fact, the Cen Widow was forced to be with Shang Shisan because she was desperate; she was pregnant with the child of a passing merchant. But when the merchant learned she had other lovers, he refused to acknowledge the child and ran away a couple of days after finding out she was pregnant.
The Cen Widow couldn't even find the man.
She tried to pin the blame for her pregnancy on a shopkeeper in Baihe Town, but Manager Tu was shrewd and ignored her, even threatening to expose her to her late husband's family and have her drowned in a pond if she caused trouble in Baihe Town.
