"I see you're jealous of your sister-in-law?"
Who knows Liu Yueer the best? It has to be her mother, Mrs. Zhao.
Liu Yueer said, "Who wouldn't be jealous? She used to be the most honest one in the family, and she got such a great opportunity. If I'd known, I would have adopted Xiao Long back then. Saying Dashi's illegitimate child is no more reliable than the eldest one's illegitimate child?"
Mrs. Zhao pursed her lips and said, "Why didn't you stand out back then? Weren't you just afraid of the risk? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. You're only regretting it now because you see your sister-in-law gaining from it. You always want to ride on the coattails of good things, and shrink away when there's risk. Who says you can take all the good stuff?"
"Who doesn't want to benefit? At the time, I thought he was some wealthy runaway young master. If I'd known he was the Crown Prince, I would have stood up, too. Isn't there a saying that wealth comes from taking risks?"
