"So you’re afraid of my cousin, too? I thought I was the only one. Oh, the misery! Wenhui, we truly are sisters in distress." Chu Yuzhu stepped forward to share her grievances with Meng Wenhui.
"It’s true! You have no idea. Before Sister A-Ran became my cousin-in-law, my cousin wouldn't even acknowledge me when I spoke to him. At most, he’d exchange a few words with my grandfather or father. And the thing is, if you’re not going to talk, fine, but why must you keep such a gloomy face all day? Whenever I look at him, I just tremble; it’s as if I’ve committed some unforgivable sin. It’s absolutely terrifying." Wenhui poured out her feelings about the shadow cast by her cousin, Prince Xuan, to her friends.
"Exactly, exactly! My Imperial Uncle has fathered so many princes, yet he is by far the strangest. Look at your aunt—she’s such a gentle person; how is it that my cousin didn't take after her at all? Being his younger sister requires a truly strong and resilient heart, otherwise, you wouldn't survive the fright," Chu Yuzhu said, clinging to Meng Wenhui in agreement.
