[downswing]

And reduce Wei Ying's utility?

[weifinder]

And increase our capacity! If not sewing, you could always try selling calligraphy phrases for celebrations, you have the lovelier hand for it!

As I'm unsure your bargain skills are up to negotiating advantageous marriage contracts for your spouse.

[downswing]

Shall we see?

[weifinder]

Your descent into indecency? I can think of several dozen more interesting ways, if you like, but this is your first money scheme, and that's novel!

[downswing]

This... intrigues you.

[weifinder]

I'm fascinated with most everything you do.

[downswing]

You intend to coax me away from sale?

[weifinder]

Will it work?

[downswing]

I await his next offer.

[weifinder]

As a note, I'm in charge of all our children's negotiations, including the rabbits.

[downswing]

I've yet to fail.

[weifinder]

It's my parental inclination, like yours towards gentle spoiling!

[downswing]

You think me incompetent.

[weifinder]

I think you kind.

Also new to financial duplicity.

[downswing]

To any duplicity.

[weifinder]

Truly?

[downswing]

Is omission duplicity or discretion?

[weifinder]

Both.

[downswing]

Because you begrudge another's sleight of hand came before your own.

[weifinder]

Because I appreciate being honest with myself and others.

Also, when did you adopt me? Was this all your way of getting me to call you baba in bed?

[downswing]

Crass. Careless. Wei Wuxian.

[weifinder]

Aren't you bartering my spousal price? Pretty sure only parents do that~

[downswing]

They assume your husband to be your owner.

[weifinder]

Foolish of them, is the same assumed of me to you? Is this queen looking to own her own harem?

[downswing]

I am not of same import to them.
