?Chapter 578: Chapter 575: Taking the Overall Situation into Account_1 Chapter 578: Chapter 575: Taking the Overall Situation into Account_1 “Father is the Governor of Dengzhou, holding command over the Dengzhou Army. The best way for the Crown Prince to build ties with my father is through marriage relations. But since my father has no legitimate daughter, and I am only a lowly concubine’s daughter, entering the Crown Prince’s residence would at most make me a concubine, not even a side consort. I don’t know if I’m being overly cautious, but watching my aunt, I really don’t want to be a concubine. Even if I were to marry a farmer, I would rather be his first wife and not a concubine,” Dong Tingyun said with reddened eyes. “Moreover, anyone with military power should avoid forming alliances too early. If I were to enter the Crown Prince’s residence, even if father didn’t form an alliance, others would think he did.”
Another concubine’s daughter, she too saw clearly that the Crown Prince wanted a concubine’s daughter from the Dong family for the military power her uncle held.

“Just feign illness, why make things difficult for yourself?” Bai Qingyan pulled Dong Tingyun to sit beside her.

The plight of the Dong family’s concubine-born daughters was well known to Bai Qingyan.
