"Third brother, what you're saying is true. If you had stopped bringing so many indecent things into the backyard, I don't think your wife would have made a fuss about it."

Ultimately, I have to blame myself for spoiling the wrong people.

When the Third Prince heard this, he was about to say something when the Crown Prince spoke up: "Third Prince, that's enough."

He always tries to provoke her first, but he can't win the argument. He feels sorry for her. What's the point?

The Third Prince remained silent.

Then the dozen or so brothers in the room started talking.

Tong Cheng'er was led to the inner room by a palace maid from Yuqing Palace. As soon as she entered, she saw three beautiful women, each with their own unique features.

The person at the head of the table, upon seeing her enter, quickly greeted her with a smile, "This must be the Fourth Prince's wife! Please come in and sit down to talk."

As they were talking, the Crown Princess introduced the First and Third Princesses to the Crown Princesses beside her.

Tong Cheng'er curtsied to them.

After exchanging greetings, he sat down.

Tong Cheng'er maintained a smile throughout her interactions with her three sisters-in-law.

She wasn't particularly competitive and wasn't familiar with her sisters-in-law, so they did most of the talking while she listened, occasionally chiming in to show she was listening.

She kept her presence extremely low to a minimum.

The Crown Princess had received instructions from the Crown Prince to take good care of her fourth sister-in-law, so when she saw that Tong Cheng'er was not speaking, she would occasionally give her a prompt to talk.

Tong Cheng'er wasn't ungrateful; she said what she needed to say. Overall, she didn't talk too much, but she didn't make any mistakes either.

The Crown Princess thought she was quite good. She didn't talk much, but she wasn't so much that people would ignore her. One could say she knew how to behave appropriately.

The First Princess jokingly remarked, "Fourth Brother's wife and Fourth Brother are truly destined to be together; they're both equally quiet."

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess Consort suddenly said, "I just don't know if the two of them, who are both so quiet, have anything to say to each other in private. It would be a joke if they just looked at each other without saying a word!"
