That one sentence from Qin Mei, in particular—'If Xu Chunyan tries to set Lin Yaru up with Jie Jingchen, then I'll set Lin Yaru up with Jie Jingwei'—made Second Auntie's hair stand on end.
Qin Mei was rolling small medicinal pills, and Second Auntie, unable to sit idle, started helping her roll them.
Qin Mei politely declined, but Second Auntie insisted on helping, so Qin Mei had no choice but to let her.
The pills Qin Mei rolled were the size of soybeans. The ones Second Auntie rolled... well, they were a little smaller than sweet rice balls.
"Fourth Wife of Jing, what do you think? Is this okay?" Second Auntie asked. She wanted to get closer to Qin Mei so that Qin Mei could help her get rich.
Qin Mei gave Second Auntie a complicated look. 'This isn't helping; it's making more work for me,' she thought. She would have to redo them. "They're too big."
