Scheming Old Men.

Situ Bonan believed that women were only meant to stay home and care for children.

In his view, even their involvement in business was just a way for them to take care of children and maintain the home.

And that was the source of their current state.

The Situ family had a lot of widows and ladies but very few men. And those men were all in the military or doing something to do with the military.

The granddaughter that Han Huang was talking about was the only exception and even then, Situ Bonan did not like her very much.

Situ Yaoyue was the only exception to the rule as she was the sole female soldier in the Situ family.

Being the eldest daughter of the current patriarch, she had certain privileges, and joining the army was among them.

She would have been forced to do so if she ever wanted to be the head of the family.
