The pregnant Empress's cravings were so intense after getting pregnant that, given the common folk belief that crabs weren't good for pregnant women, she always had to suppress them, unable to satisfy her hunger and cravings completely.
Now she would rather use her most expensive silk scarf to threaten Suizi, as in her eyes, the scarf was only worth the price of a single crab.
Suizi naturally didn't want to do something that would offend her dad and possibly harm the pregnant Empress, so she threw the hot potato to the clever Yu Jingting.
After receiving his wife's call for help, Yu Jingting immediately responded.
"Sure, it's just a crab, right? I'll get it to you once Suizi is done."
"Really?" Chen Lijun was skeptical, "You two, aren't you normally loyal henchmen to old Fan? How come you're so easily standing on the side of 'justice' now?"
Justice = Deceiving the heavens to secretly feed the pregnant Empress crabs.
