Strangely, though Mrs. Ji was timid, she kept provoking Sister-in-law Qin and saying annoying things, always getting scolded or frightened by her, yet she never tired of doing it.
Sometimes, Mrs. Han suspected that Mrs. Ji did it on purpose, to attract Sister-in-law Qin's attention.
Ji Zhenniang, who bullied the weak and feared the strong, despised poverty and loved wealth, would automatically become humble before the powerful, so she showed great respect to Mrs. Han. Upon hearing Mrs. Han's words, she finally believed she wasn't poisoned.
Gu Jinli walked over, picked up the poison sachet from the ground, and warned, "This time, it's just a scare. If you dare to say something annoying again, I'll really poison you."
Ji Zhenniang felt extremely aggrieved and risked her life to respond, "I'm doing it for your good... Ah, I was wrong, don't sprinkle poison!"
