small kitchen had not caught fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time she had borrowed flowers to offer to Buddha, the Old Madam had almost lost half her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How dare she send food again!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Liu came forward and paid respects, saying, \"This was made by following the Eldest Young Madam’s instructions, specifically delivered for the Old Madam to taste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing it wasn’t Su Jin who made it, everyone was relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Wang accepted the brocade box and opened it for the Old Madam to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this a sweet?\" the Old Madam asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it is a sweet,\" Mrs. Liu replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s a pity the Old Madam doesn’t like sweets,\" Mrs. Wang stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me try,\" the Old Madam said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Wang was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More surprising was what followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Madam not only tasted it but finished the entire piece that Mrs. Liu had cut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Wang had a liking for sweets, but even she found the cake a bit cloying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Madam didn’t care for sweets, and the small kitchen’s cakes usually contained less sugar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This scene, had she not seen it herself, Mrs. Wang wouldn’t have believed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When had the Old Madam become so fond of sweets?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Madam’s temperament wasn’t as fiery as before, had her tastes also changed?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Wang made a mental note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instructed the kitchen to add more sugar to the pastries made tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Madam, who usually ate a maximum of two pastries a day, astonishingly ate six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Old Madam’s tastes indeed changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jinyu was feeding fish by the Lotus Pond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jinhuan pulled Xie Jinxiu

good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Xie Jinxiu had people spread rumors that Princess Nanzhang was pretending, Xie Jinyu hadn’t spoken to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jinyu turned her head, and upon seeing Xie Jinxiu, her expression wasn’t pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Xie Jinxiu spread rumors about Princess Nanzhang, Xie Jinyu hasn’t looked at her favorably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two didn’t speak to each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as sisters from a noble household, it wouldn’t do for them to ignore each other like this all along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jinhuan tried to mediate, saying, \"We’re all sisters of the same household, let’s not let something so trivial come between us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something trivial?!\" Xie Jinyu replied coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My elder sister,\" Xie Jinhuan called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xie Jinxiu turned her head, and upon seeing Xie Jinxiu, her demeanor

other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as women of the same family, they couldn’t go on ignoring each other like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Playing peacemaker, Xie Jinhuan said, \"A little thing like this, let’s not hold it in our hearts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little thing?!\" Xie Jinyu retorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your elder sister,\" Xie Jinhuan called
