Wei Tan is not Shen Tang's husband.
But I heard her call him husband three times.
The first time was at the small house in Qin Xiu's hometown. The woman running up to him with her skirt in hand took him as her husband reunited after a long separation, and threw herself into his arms and called him "husband" softly.
Mrs. Qin is blind and has incomplete memory, Wei Tan knows.
The second time was in the backyard of a banquet. She was laughed at because of her blindness. She hid under the flowers and hugged her knees and cried. She thought he was Qin Xiu who came to find her, so she cried on his shoulder.
He cried so hard that his heart was hot and he called for his husband.
She called her husband, not him, Wei Tan knew.
The third time was in the deep palace after he ascended the throne.
The arrogant and domineering princess pushed her into the pool.
She was drunk and unconscious. When he rescued her, she was crying and muttering "husband".
She wanted him to hold her, to coax her, to wipe her tears, and to be a little down.
Wei Tan followed the instructions one by one.
But after she regained consciousness, she found herself in his arms and was frightened when she knew he was not Qin Xiu.
With a pale face, she begged him not to tell her about her husband.
Wei Tan's palm covered her eyes so she couldn't see him.
He responded softly, "Okay."
She wouldn't know how many times he had to learn Qin Xiu's footwork before he could confuse the fake with the real in her ears.
Intention: "I want to live a good life, what's wrong with that?"
