Concubine Cheng said, "Silly boy, if you don't tell her and she finds out on her own later, won't it be even more troublesome?"
Huangfu Jingchen acknowledged, "I'll find an appropriate time to tell her!"
Prince Cheng patted his son's shoulder with understanding and said, "For such matters, it's better to speak sooner rather than later. The longer you delay, the harder it is to explain. Back when your father..." At this point, his voice trailed off.
Concubine Cheng glared at him with displeasure and snorted, "You have the nerve to say that. If it wasn't for your lies back then, why would I have married you?"
