In Yanfeng City, there are handsome, gentle, and talented men everywhere, and they are all unmarried. Are you sure you want to give up such a vast forest for An Jin?”
“I grew up with An Jin. Even if you could win his heart, it would never be complete. As a noble lady, becoming a concubine would subject you to countless humiliations, and your children would be illegitimate, facing discrimination. If An Jin tires of you, you’ll be left alone, facing the consequences of your choice.”
Her face turned pale, like a little white rabbit in a raging wind.
I sighed. “You’re about the same age as my younger sister. Think carefully, is this worth it?”
Miss Song San lowered her head, silent for a long time. I ordered a pile of dishes.
“Try some. This restaurant’s camphor tea duck and steamed tea cake are quite good. Besides men, there are many good things in this world. If you don’t cherish yourself, who else will?”
Her eyes flickered, and she picked up her chopsticks. Initially eating delicately, she gradually relaxed and ate heartily.
I sighed in relief.
Using both kindness and authority, this trick could soothe Miss Song San, who is quite innocent with naive fantasies influenced by romantic stories. Just open the window and show her how beautiful the world is, and she’ll naturally understand.
While I was eating, I glanced over and noticed Green Hat Eastern Palace Xia Zhiyuan nearby, drinking alone. When he saw me looking, he raised his wine cup in a toast, and I quickly returned the gesture.
I owe this Eastern Palace something. I had indirectly let his future wife go and refused to paint for his dancing girl. Moreover, according to Boss Chen, he didn’t show any anger towards Sai Yue Pavilion, which made my debt feel even heavier.
After finishing, Miss Song San burped, embarrassedly covering her mouth. Just as I was about to solidify my success, someone sat down beside me.
“A Yao.” An Jin gazed at me, a smile at the corner of her lips, her eyebrows full of affection.
Miss Song San’s eyes widened.
“A Yao, I’ve come to take you home,” An Jin put her arm around my shoulder and adjusted my hair.
