"Did your parents agree?" Ye Muyu felt that Du Heng's idea was too outstanding, as men of this era rarely managed to do so. To go out to do business on one's own and take their Legal Wife with them was extremely uncommon; they would usually bring a concubine instead.
After all, the Legal Wife was expected to serve the in-laws and manage the household affairs.
It was a very conventional consideration, for ordinary men to bring gifts for their Legitimate Wives when they traveled was already considered very good. Du Heng, however, took the initiative to take Xiang Ling'er out for a trip, which somewhat touched her.
