Looking at Wei Zijin's expression when he spoke just now, Liu Yiyi couldn't help but think of the previous situation when Wei Zijin found out that Liu Guanjia was lending money privately. This was the first time she saw such an imposing Wei Zijin, and it was also the first time she began to feel fear!
She had indeed been thinking about how to replace Wei Zijin as the eldest lady, but after seeing Wei Zijin drive away Butler Liu and regain the power of the house, Liu Yiyi felt that her chances of winning were not that great!
"I just admire my sister's decisiveness in the matter of Butler Liu..." Liu Yiyi didn't know why she said such a thing, but she didn't want to anger Wei Zijin because of her inappropriate words at the moment.
Wei Zijin also saw that Liu Yiyi was trying her best to smooth over what she had just said, and said quietly: "I did this just for the good of Shangshu Mansion! Lord Shangshu is a popular person in front of the emperor after all, how can he be affected by these things in the mansion? Has your reputation been affected?”
"Sister, what you said makes sense..." Liu Yiyi laughed sarcastically. She had indeed never thought so far, but now that Wei Zijin reminded her, she suddenly understood that although Shen Rui was their husband and their god, they could not Affect Shen Rui's future!
At this moment, tea and snacks were served, which also eased the stagnant atmosphere.
"Sister, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake tastes really good..." Liu Yiyi has always liked these desserts the most. She ate several pieces in a row and was full of praise.
"If you like it, I'll ask Qiaoxiang to get some more for you to take home to eat!" Wei Zijin didn't care much about these desserts. He knew that his words just now were enough to wake up Liu Yiyi, and a calm smile appeared on his face again.
Qiaoxiang is the best at making these desserts. Under Wei Zijin's instructions, she packed several kinds of pastries for Liu Yiyi, including chestnut cake, hawthorn and jujube cake, etc. Liu Yiyi's greed was aroused and she picked up a piece of hawthorn jujube. Put the cake into your mouth.
After sitting for a while, Liu Yiyi felt sleepy again and couldn't help but yawned.
"Since you are tired, go back and rest!" Wei Zijin saw that Liu Yiyi seemed to be sleepy, and did not intend to keep her in Lixiangyuan for too long.
"Then sister, I'll leave first!" Liu Yiyi stood up quickly, but as soon as she stood up, her head felt dizzy, and then she felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen.
Liu Yiyi's personal maid hurriedly supported Liu Yiyi, looked at her face turning pale, and shouted in panic: "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Wei Zijin also noticed something was wrong and asked Qiao Xiang to help Liu Yiyi sit down. Liu Yiyi reached out and covered her abdomen and whispered: "Stomach hurts..."
Liu Yiyi's face became paler because of the pain. Wei Zijin frowned slightly and said to Huan'er: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you call the doctor quickly?"
"Yes!" Huan'er hurriedly left Lixiang Garden to ask for a doctor, but Liu Yiyi had already fainted. Liu Yiyi's maid was so frightened that she kept shouting, and she was so anxious that she didn't know what to do.
"There must be something wrong with these pastries!" Liu Yiyi's maid Forsythia quickly pointed the finger at Wei Zijin's pastries and said through gritted teeth: "My wife was fine before, but her stomach hurts after eating these pastries. It must be from the pastries. question!"
Forsythia is Liu Yiyi's maid who has always been with her. She has met many dignitaries together and is used to being aggressive. She doesn't care that her words will offend Wei Zijin. The more she speaks, the more exaggerated she becomes: "Madam, my wife is kind enough to come see you. I didn’t expect you to borrow cakes to poison my wife!”
