"Since this is the Emperor's oral decree, you must take good care of your health from now on. The palace banquet is coming up soon, so do not go running about—" The Prime Minister gave his instructions earnestly, fearing that Wen Jiu and Wen Xi would go to the Grand General's Estate to file a complaint.
"I understand. I shall never do such foolish things again. Jiu'er, Xier, would you be willing to give your mother a chance to make amends?" Madame Xue looked at them, her face full of guilt.
"Madam, what are you saying? While the Emperor has permitted you to attend the banquet, he did not say your confinement was over. Besides, my brother and I will not speak a word of this. If there is nothing else, you had best focus on recovering your health and serving the Old Madam. After all, you have been enjoying your leisure as a daughter-in-law while we juniors have been exhausted to the bone." Wen Jiu rubbed her shoulder with a frail, delicate gesture.
