I also slept with you behind your back. It has nothing to do with you; you're just a pitiful person I deceived.
Why should I believe you?
She had already realized that she had been tricked by Xie Jinyao.
"Madam can only trust me."
Xie Jinyao had already made up her mind, so she spoke slowly and deliberately, "I know that you have deep feelings for the Prime Minister, but at your age, you should no longer prioritize love and affection."
My cousin is gone. Can my wife live a good life in her later years just by relying on the Prime Minister's affection?
"If I give birth to the Prime Minister's child and register it under my cousin's name, the Prime Minister wouldn't mistreat his wife, even for the sake of the child."
She leaned closer to Madam Xiao and whispered, "Madam, the Prime Minister is no ordinary man. He will find another woman sooner or later. You can't possibly be jealous."
Rather than that, I should plan for myself sooner rather than later, and I happen to need my wife's help anyway.
Li Xiangguo had to pretend to be honest, and he planned to take a concubine a few years later. She couldn't wait that long, so she could only rely on Xiao Shi's cover.
Are you telling the truth?

He was overjoyed when his concubine became pregnant. Moreover, now that Li Chenghai was dead, he only had Li Chenghe left, and he was even more eager to have another child.
Once she won the Prime Minister's heart, she no longer needed Lady Xiao; Lady Xiao had always been nothing more than a stepping stone for her.
Madam Xiao was not unaware of Xie Jinyao's thoughts, but since Xie Jinyao said that the Prime Minister had the countenance of an emperor, she believed in Xie Jinyao's ability to foresee the future.
If that's the case, then the Prime Minister can no longer keep only her by his side. How can she, who is old and faded, win over the Prime Minister and secure her position?
She does need a child. Xie Jinyao is using her, so why can't she use Xie Jinyao?
The following day, Madam Xiao personally cooked several of Prime Minister Li's favorite dishes, served him his meal, and apologized to him for not raising her child well.
Everyone in the household knew that Lady Xiao had personally cooked, and in order to maintain his image as a good husband, Prime Minister Li spent the night in Lady Xiao's room...
