Juhua didn't know how to bring it up with him. She tugged at the grass, thinking for a long time before finally asking, "So, the children they have... are they all okay? I always feel like first cousins are basically the same as siblings. How can they get married?"
Qingmu thought for a moment and said, "I haven't heard of any problems! But I don't know many families where first cousins married, so I can't say for sure if all their children are fine. What you said seems to make some sense, though."
He suddenly wondered, 'Is Juhua saying this because she's not happy about Huai Zi marrying his cousin?'
She didn't seem to be. But at least she hadn't said something like, "Why wouldn't he be happy? It's such a good match!" Otherwise, if Huai Zi found out, he'd be heartbroken all over again.
Zhang Huai wasn't heartbroken, but he was worried—worried about his cousin's stubbornness. He never expected that Qingmu's words from back then would actually come true.
