It's hard to say, after all, Mu Shaoling is not Ye Zi'an. Their upbringing environments were different. Ye Zi'an grew up in the countryside, where he saw couples consisting of a husband and a wife. Furthermore, growing up with Yang Chuxia and her occasional guidance, he developed a strong aversion to the practice of taking concubines and detested such betrayal of feelings.
However, Mu Shaoling was different. He grew up in the prominent households of the Capital City, where it was common for a man to have several wives and concubines, and there was nothing strange about it. Previously, if he didn't fancy any woman, it was fine, but now that he has taken a liking to someone he wants to bring home, it seems there's really nothing abnormal about that.
At most, this affair might make people feel that it doesn't look good, as the real gentlemen of the Capital City, even if they take concubines, would do so after their grand marriage, not before.
