"Are you saying that Qin Huairu has always been using Shazhu? That she's never had any feelings for him?"
"I don't know for sure, but my guess is that Qin Huairu probably does have some feelings for Shazhu, though it's not much more than a mild fondness. In her heart, her three children are definitely the most important thing. So for the sake of those three kids, it doesn't matter who she likes or doesn't like; figuring out how to raise the three children is what matters most. As for Shazhu, he's just a coward with a heart for sin but no guts to match, and his fixation on Qin Huairu is really just lust for her looks. If you actually gave him a choice, he'd definitely want to find a pretty, unmarried wife."
"And what about you? Why did you choose me to be your wife?"
