He handed her an orange and said, "Aqing, don't take all the blame upon yourself. It's not your fault. If there's anyone to blame, it's me for being useless, for not securing for you the position of a principal wife, always letting others ridicule you as a concubine. But in my heart, there's only one principal wife, and that has always been you."
Concubine Du broke into a smile through her tears, wiping them away and handing half of the orange to Second Young Master Xie, saying, "I knew Master cares about Aqing the most. Master, have some orange."
Xie Qinyun felt so disgusted by Concubine Du's pretentious act that she couldn't stand them flaunting their affection in front of her by sharing oranges, and indignantly said, "Second Brother, what should I do? Is it possible that I, a legitimate daughter, would really end up as a concubine in someone else's house?"
