"So how was she demoted afterward?"
"Madam Lu, driven by strong jealousy, took advantage of General Lu's absence and secretly sold his favorite concubine to a brothel. And when General Lu came home to find out, he flew into a rage. She became a concubine once again.
"This time, without waiting for the Minister of Personnel to act, the general himself went to the minister's home and declared he would not easily restore her status as his wife. He wouldn't casually establish another concubine as the official wife either, unless one could bear him a firstborn son.
"At that time, General Lu was already in his twenties and, although he had several daughters, he had not a single son. The minister sympathized with the general's difficulties and had to agree with his conditions."
"But Madam Lu did indeed bear General Lu a son."
