"Oh, the thirteenth sister-in-law and the eighth sister-in-law really have a good relationship. The eighth sister-in-law holds the child, but we won't hold him." The third wife covered her mouth and laughed, teasing the first wife.
Heyue laughed and retorted, "All of you sisters-in-law have already seen it. Now you're criticizing me? Alright, I'll give you all a good hug later."

He Yue pouted. Hmph, trying to fool her? She wasn't going to fall for it.
"To be honest, it's impossible not to be tempted by so many rewards. But the Emperor's gifts are only for looking at, not for using. What a waste! It would be so much better if he gave us silver directly. We could buy a few more shops."
