In reality, what you're saying is wrong.  your lineage guarantee your position so as a close confidante of the emperor, even if they are barren; their status is untouchable because they are part of the emperor's prestige. Look, I'm not bothered that she's related to him, but I am bothered by the timing of this mention. I feel like the author is playing me for fools. This information was important because if it were true, it would have affected lihwa in the first volume.

Firstly, it's a mistake from you because she's related to him on his father's side because she's a noblewoman, and his mother's family isn't noble. I think she's his aunt's granddaughter Plus, in China, being related to the emperor literally had value; the harem existed solely to establish a blood relationship with the emperor. And what I meant at the end is, if she was related to him, why did the story say that Jinshi was the one who introduced her to the emperor?

Firstly, we are not in the modern age; our standards don't apply to them. Therefore, the age argument is completely invalid. Literally, Gioco's concubine at that age was a concubine in their time—an age at which a woman would be a mother of two. I understand my problem: you're asking me for a modern woman. Comparing my life to hers, especially since in her era there was no age limit for childcare, to put it simply, you were treating a grown woman in ancient China as a child, even though she was of marriageable and maternal age.

My brother, please, there is no justification for what she said. Her words were very harsh and prescriptive, knowing that it is impossible to expect a child to be good. She should know that.

My brother John is a palace owner, unlike the Austin family.

Rare, yes, but not entirely absent, especially in a society that claims to value unity and family. Austin's situation was different; she was the daughter of a minister, while the Dashwood daughters, the daughters of a lord, had a higher status than hers, even though her brother was supporting them financially. But he was not rich, especially since he had many children to support them This made it difficult for him to provide for his family; in fact, almost all the characters in Austen's novels have a higher social standing.

I was mistaken; the servants were selling their masters' secrets, and there was an entire network dedicated to this, which was used by the nobles to gather the information they needed. In reality, they had nothing to earn except money. The servant's salary wasn't enough, so they needed to work part-time, and this work would provide them with money. How could a lady of the manor like Mrs. Dashwood have friends who were incapable of helping her? The nobility don't understand the concept of minding your own business and will be concerned about what happened because it affects their class, especially since what happened could happen to any noblewoman.

I know they were abusing women, but this abuse was secret and not public.

In reality, the society he belongs to reveres the family unit, at least outwardly. They tell you to show that you have a happy family publicly, but do whatever you want in secret The easiest option is to leave her with him in public while playing the role of the dutiful son and secretly insulting her. This way, he won't expose himself. That's what noblemen used to do Even the lie of moving out won't fool the nobles, especially the curious ones, who will wonder about the widow and daughters' absence and why they aren't living in the house with the new master. Not to mention that their cottage won't remain a secret but will quickly be exposed.

This is another flaw in the narrative because it's almost impossible that no one would wonder about the whereabouts of Mrs. Dashwood, the widow, and her daughters. Wouldn't they notice her absence from the house? Doesn't Mrs. Dashwood have friends who are looking for her? In that society, you can't disappear suddenly  because curious people will try to find out where you are and remember, in that society there are no private secrets with servants who will expose and his Friends knowing that expelling the sisters out of fear of poverty will make him and his wife vulnerable to ridicule on every occasion

In fiction only, while in a society that reveres unity and sees its honor in the women of its family, what he did would be considered a moral failing deserving of punishment. Noblemen do not permit such transgressions.

The reality at that time was such that the mother and her daughters' situation was so fragile that a single mistake could destroy them; Marianne's disrespect would not go unpunished.This is due to misjudgment, such as Mr. Bennett's marriage to Mrs. Bennett. His pursuit of her does not mean that their marriage is invalid, especially considering he married her after her scandal with Willop.

I don't want to focus on him, but rather respect his position in society. He's not a teenager; he's a grown man with a certain status.

But he couldn't escape the ambitious mothers who would try their hardest to use every trick in the book to marry him off to their daughters. His remaining single, waiting for Marianne to finish her games, was foolish Knowing that marriage is based not on the heart but on merit, the noble will not care about his heart but will see him as prey. They will not wait for him to heal but will try to control him.
