Chapter 19

Many of the marriges in Fing City were arranged. They were more in the line of business deals among the more wealthy families in town. Therefore, most of the men had multiple affairs on a regular basis. The women too, for that matter. Although they may not know who their spouses were sleeping with, it was just a fact of life that they were sleeping around. The women were expected to produce at least one heir, then after that, most husbands didn't give them another thought.

As for the men, a unique aspect of this was that a housing area was developed over many years to accommodate their mistresses. A gated community was build to protect their identity and to close them off from prying eyes. Many of these households had bastard children, offspring of these illict affairs. Some of these mistresses even had nannies and other servants working for them, depending on the wealth of their lovers. This development was called Wong Manor. But privately most people called it Mistress Hill.
