Su Xinyi listened to the two women singing in chorus but had no intention of showing them any pleasantness; destined enemies they were, attacking her face, so naturally, she wouldn't be courteous either—after all, she was known to be tough, not someone to be trifled with.
"His Highness has only recently returned to the capital after being on campaign for several months. If I truly had something in my belly, now that would be frightening. Wouldn't you ladies agree?"
The Crown Princess spoke shockingly, and with such brazenness; unlike other new brides who would be overwhelmingly shy when asked about having children, she didn't hide her displeasure nor show it on her face.
They thought that even if Su Xinyi were a bit fierce, faced with such a situation, she would naturally react as expected; they didn't anticipate she would play her cards so unpredictably. Her blunt, unobscured words embarrassed them instead.
