Chapter 65: What Do You Choose?

"How does the princess intend to persuade her?" Madam Zhao asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, Aunt! I'm sure I can persuade my cousin to get better."

He's just a man, right? Chongqing is such a big place, it lacks everything, but it doesn't lack men, okay?

If I still can't persuade her, I'll keep a few male prostitutes in one of my houses and give them to my cousin later.

No one loses out...

Before Princess Yongxin could finish speaking, she was gently patted on the back by Old Madam Zhao.

"Just think about these things and don't say them out loud!"

Princess Yongxin said "oh" and then started to act coquettishly next to Old Madam Zhao.

Old Madam Zhao doted on this granddaughter, and immediately asked the people around her if she was being taken good care of...

Half an hour later, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family who had just gotten married returned.

When she saw that her daughter had brought her three-year-old grandson back, Madam Zhao's expression changed.

Madam Zhao's expression also changed slightly.

However, their expressions quickly returned to normal.

"Cousin!" Princess Yongxin immediately stood up and went to greet her.

Zhao Yi'an, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family, quickly revealed a smile.

"Little sister Mu Xiao is here today too! How have you been lately, little sister?"

Princess Yongxin hummed in agreement, then lowered her head and teased Zhao Yi'an's son, Du Shuyi, for a while.

"How has Yi-ge been eating and sleeping lately?"

"It's fine! Mother sleeps with Yi-ge every day!" Du Shuyi said in her childish voice.

Princess Yongxin smiled, and Old Madam Zhao and Madam Zhao also smiled.

After playing with Du Shuyi for a while, everyone had the maid take Du Shuyi out to play.

After Du Shuyi left the courtyard, Princess Yongxin pulled Zhao Yi'an to sit down next to Old Madam Zhao.

"An'er, your sister says she has something to tell you!" Old Madam Zhao said hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi'an quickly looked at Princess Yongxin.

Does my cousin have something important to tell me?

Princess Yongxin suddenly felt a little nervous when she saw that all three people in the room were looking at her.

But she also knew that she had to persuade her, because if her cousin continued like this, it wouldn't be a good thing for the Korean government.

After thinking about the questions Song Zhimian had asked, Princess Yongxin immediately felt more confident.

"Cousin, I have a few questions for you!"

"Just listen carefully, and don't ask any questions after you've listened. Just tell me how to choose!" Princess Yongxin said solemnly.

Zhao Yi'an rarely saw Princess Yongxin so serious, and thought that something terrible had happened.

Her expression also turned serious.

"Mu Xiao, please speak. I'm listening attentively!"

Princess Yongxin cleared her throat and asked the first question.

"Cousin, if you had to choose between having a terminal illness and your husband having an affair, which would you choose?"

The three of them thought that Princess Yongxin was about to ask some very serious question...

Madam Zhao immediately understood what Princess Yongxin meant.

Just as Madam Zhao was about to speak, she realized something.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi'an realized that she had an incurable disease and that her husband was keeping a mistress.

What would happen to my children if I were to contract an incurable disease?

Does that mean that vixen can finally move in...?

"This..." Zhao Yi'an was about to speak.

“Cousin, just tell me how to choose. It has to be one of the two. You don’t need to ask anything else.” Princess Yongxin interrupted Zhao Yi’an.

“Then… let him keep a mistress!” Zhao Yi’an immediately made the choice that was most beneficial to herself.

The three people, except for Zhao Yi'an, breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, there's still hope for Zhao Yi'an...

Princess Yongxin was very satisfied with Zhao Yi'an's answer, and then she asked a second question.

"Cousin, if you and your husband's mistress encountered human traffickers and got kidnapped, which would you choose?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Yi'an immediately made his choice.

"Your brother-in-law should keep a mistress!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Princess Yongxin was even more satisfied.

She knew that her cousin was just blinded by greed; once that facade was broken, her cousin would definitely come to her senses.

Immediately afterwards, Princess Yongxin asked the third question.

"Cousin, the third question."

"My nephew won't be able to become an official in the future..."

"He's keeping a mistress!" This time, Zhao Yi'an didn't even wait for Princess Yongxin to finish speaking before answering directly.

The three people in the room all smiled.

See, he's clearly very rational and calm; this is a good choice.

"Cousin, look, aren't you pretty smart? You know how to choose!"

Actually, if you stop taking him seriously, you'll feel that none of these things matter.

If you lose a relationship, you lose it! Don't dwell on what's gone.

Think about what you have now, what you value most right now! Princess Yongxin repeated what Song Zhimin had told her.

Zhao Yi'an seemed to have suddenly understood after being asked three questions by Princess Yongxin.

She was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"Yeah! Why bother looking for something that's already lost?"

Even if you find it, it's all covered in mud.

"What's lost is lost! The most important thing is to cherish what you have."

Princess Yongxin raised her eyebrows triumphantly at Old Madam Zhao.

"Grandma, you and Auntie keep my cousin company while I go play with Yi-ge!"

With that, Princess Yongxin happily left the flower hall.

Let Grandma and Aunt handle the rest!

They certainly know how to persuade their cousin, who has already come to her senses, to do what is best for her.

...

Sure enough, after Princess Yongxin left Madam Zhao's courtyard, Zhao Yi'an's expression immediately turned serious.

"Grandmother, Mother! The trouble the Du family has caused is not as simple as just keeping a mistress!"

Having lost his romantic mindset, Zhao Yi'an quickly went through the recent events in her mind.

I've finally realized this isn't a simple matter.

Both Madam Zhao and Madam Zhao nodded in agreement.

“The last few times you came back, you were crying and sobbing, and all you could think about was how Du Jia Dalang had let you down.”

There were some things we couldn't say to you back then.

"Now that you've realized what's going on, things will be easier for us to discuss!" Old Madam Zhao sighed.

"I've made my grandmother and mother worry!" Zhao Yi'an said with a touch of shame.

"It's nothing! You're young, and you've always had a smooth life, so it's understandable that you'd feel down when this happens suddenly."

It's normal for occasional problems to occur.

However, now that we've realized it, that's a good thing!

An'er, your marriage to Du's eldest son was arranged by the Empress Dowager.

"Do you think Du's eldest son would dare to cause such a scene if the Empress Dowager were here?" Old Madam Zhao asked softly.

Zhao Yi'an narrowed his eyes, realizing he had also thought of this problem.

If the Empress Dowager were here...

If Du's eldest son had even had such a thought, he would probably be punished with a cane by the Du family's patriarch and matriarch...
