[What kind of person does that?]
Her chopsticks paused.
Then another thought followed.
[Then he had the nerve to tell me he wanted to bathe with me.]
[Jerk.]
Pfffft—
The sound echoed through the courtyard.
Old Madam Xi suddenly sprayed a mouthful of tea across the table.
"Cough! Cough! Cough!"
The entire breakfast gathering immediately descended into chaos.
"Grandmother!"
"Old Madam!"
"Quick, bring water!"
Xi Lanyin hurried to support her grandmother while Xi Qianqian quickly stood up from her seat. Several maids rushed forward carrying water as Lin Meiyun rose with concern written across her face.
For a moment, the courtyard became completely chaotic.
Only after drinking several mouthfuls of water did Old Madam Xi finally stop coughing.
Her face was slightly red.
Meanwhile, nobody dared speak.
Nobody dared explain why they looked so strange.
And nobody dared mention the real reason Old Madam Xi had nearly choked.
Across the table, Su Yueqing sat completely confused.
She looked at the crowd surrounding Old Madam Xi before glancing down at her own bowl.
Then back at the crowd.
Inside her mind, a single thought appeared.
[Did the tea attack her?]
The younger generation nearly broke down.
Xi Ronghua immediately covered her face as she pinched her husband.
Gu Zhen pressed his lips together so hard they almost disappeared... he was regretting not joining the fellow men for archery this morning.
