The Fourteenth Princess's face stiffened, and she gave an awkward smile: "Thirteenth Sister-in-law is right." She silently picked up her teacup and took a sip.

Yu Xiu smiled and winked, then quietly gave a thumbs up.

The next day, Heyue, recalling what she had been thinking about the day before, went to the Twelfth Prince's residence to visit Yuxiu.

"You looked strange yesterday, but I didn't ask too many questions. Is there something you're hiding from me? Is Twelfth Master really that good to you?" He Yue asked directly, her words filled with concern.

Yuxiu was surprised, then smiled and said, "So that's what you wanted to know. Of course, he's very good to me."

He Yue frowned in confusion: "But why did you look so dazed yesterday?"

Yuxiu was silent for a moment, then chuckled: "It's nothing, it's just that since I got pregnant and couldn't serve him, he's been going to other women more often. He also dotes on his concubine, Li Jia, so I'm just a little jealous. What are you worried about?"

He Yue huffed, "Hmph, so even the good-tempered Twelfth Master can't escape this. He neglects his pregnant wife and goes to pamper other women."

Yuxiu glared at her, amused. "You think it's all the thirteenth brother? The thirteenth brother can disregard other women for you, but others wouldn't. Besides, the master has been extremely good to me. Before we got married, he doted on Li Jia Shi, but after we got married, he put me first in everything and visited less often. He's always been very attentive and considerate to me. This time, I was feeling unwell, so I asked him to rest somewhere else."

"You really are spineless!" He Yue glared at her, then laughed angrily: "You're his wife, and you're pregnant. What kind of reason do you need to have for him? You're so generous, pushing him away. You deserve to be jealous and upset."

Yu Xiu smiled bitterly: "I'm not like you, I can't do these things. My father has few children, what's wrong with having more women bear him offspring?"

He was silent and at ease; the deeply ingrained ideas of the ancients are truly terrifying.

Knowing she couldn't persuade her, Heyue said no more: "Whatever you want, as long as it doesn't bother you."

"Anyway, thank you for thinking of me." Yuxiu held her hand and smiled ingratiatingly.

He Yue snorted, but there was nothing to be angry about after all, and her expression finally softened a lot.
