Chapter 744 - What Is Status? (1/2)
“Give her a t.i.tle. At least let people know that you want to honor the mother of your child. At the very least, have the n.o.bles show her respect.”
Gu Bailu knew that it was difficult in a short period of time to get rid of the ingrained concept of slavery in Heavenly Wind Empire. Unless it was because Lu Fenying loved Qian’er so much that he couldn’t give her up, Qian’er should get the respect she deserved.
In this matter, Gu Bailu could only help Qian’er obtain a status that no one could take advantage of.
So that she could live a life with her head lifted up.
So that the baby could live with a little more respect.
Lu Fenying had never considered this matter. He only knew that it was his flesh and blood, his child, and n.o.body would dare be rude to him.
But he then recalled what Mo Qian’er said to him last night.
She said that she had no status and was just a slave; she was as lowly as a prost.i.tute.
Since she served him, he could perhaps give her an ident.i.ty so that she didn’t feel like she was a prost.i.tute.
“What respect?”
He couldn’t give Mo Qian’er much. She was a slave, and the slave mark couldn’t be undone for the rest of her life. If he insisted on honoring her, the n.o.ble families would become very annoying.
“Marry her, of course. Don’t tell me you can’t give the woman who will bear you a royal heir the status of a proper wife?” Gu Bailu said, as if it was a matter of course.
Lu Fenying, however, frowned as if he had just heard something ridiculous. “Princess Zi, are you joking?”
Mo Qian’er was just a slave. How could she become a royal consort? The royal consort would be the mother of the country in the future, and her ident.i.ty dictated that she couldn’t take this position.
“I’m serious.” Gu Bailu looked at him calmly.
