cw: mention of gangrape and incest

"Mr. Song, when you talk about marriage, it's supposed to be an intimate connection between two people, right?" She asked, leaving Song Zhuyu a bit confused as to where this was heading.

"Of course…?" he replied with uncertainty.

This was no longer the era where men could take multiple wives or concubines just to have as many offspring as they physically could.

A speculation arose in Song Zhuyu's mind, only to be shattered in the next moment by Tan Jiahu's words. It suddenly dawned on Father Song that perhaps he had been too innocent for this world.
