The crowd roared with laughter, all praising her for her clever flattery, which had clearly delighted the older relative.
Juhua's heart twitched when she heard this. 'Am I a sow popping out piglets? Two every year?'
He was indeed very pleased and didn't think too much of it, casually remarking, "That's a nice thought, but our Juhua really suffered with this birth. She'll need a few years to recover, so she can't have another baby next year."
Hearing this, the crowd started asking questions with great concern.
Only then did He realize she had let it slip. She quickly tried to cover her tracks, "Juhua has a very frail constitution. Pushing two babies out naturally took a toll on her, so I'm just having her focus on a proper recovery."
