Spinoff One, Qian Yiduo_3

Lady Hu and Lady Chen, having heard this, both said with a laugh, "What Mother says makes sense." So each of them donated another five hundred taels of incense money.

Qian Yiduo's face turned red in an instant; all her stored-up silver combined amounted to only five hundred taels, and she didn't have it on her. Even if she did, she was unwilling to donate it all. She could only donate a silver note worth one hundred taels from her purse with great pain.

Old Lady Liu had always looked down on Qian Yiduo for her pettiness. Now, seeing that her eldest and third daughters-in-law were so willing to donate five hundred taels each to increase their chances of birthing a son, she was begrudgingly handing over just one hundred taels. With a stern face, she said, "Second daughter-in-law, you are wearing clothes made of court satin, be more generous in your actions."
