"Jin Cuiniang, how could you say such things?"
Yes, Qiongying, that concubine, was chosen by his mother for him. Until their wedding night, he had never seen her; they had no feelings for each other initially, this he admits.
But what about Jin Cuiniang? Wasn't this woman chosen by his mother, too? Just like Qiongying, he hadn't seen her before their marriage!
An arranged marriage between clans is just like this; if the couple can treat each other respectfully, it's already quite good.
"Haven't I been good enough to you? Which family master among others in the clan doesn't have three or four wives? But I only took Qiongying as a concubine after you couldn't bear children, and I have no other women by my side.
Even after Qiongying bore five children for me, I still treat you the same as before. Haven't you bullied Qiongying quite a bit over the years?
I've turned a blind eye to this, isn't that enough?
Yet, in your heart, I'm just an unreliable man?!"
