"Tweet tweet tweet…! What a bunch of idiots, the master says you're wasting food and is going to sell you all, sell you all!" Xiao Jiu flew in mid‑air, watching the spectacle while chattering away, looking quite delighted.
"Waaah ooo ooo ooo…!"
When the women heard this, they cried even louder. One of them grabbed the guard next to her and sobbed loudly, "Please, I beg you, say a word to the Princess Consort for me. I eat very little, don't sell me."
The guard cut off their wishful thinking, saying, "It's no use. The Princess Consort said the Mansion's expenses aren't enough, she has to sell you to subsidize the daily costs."
The women refused to believe it, all saying, "How is that possible? The War Prince's name shakes the world, how could he not even have enough for daily expenses!"
