Prince Xin's son was momentarily taken aback, then he laughed heartily and said, "Cousin, you're teasing me again! Since the fair lady already belongs to someone else, I naturally have to let go!"

However, this clarified their mutual intentions even more.
Why did they want to marry Zhao Keyan for power and status? It was merely because their fathers harbored such thoughts.
