Chapter 143: Both Think the Other is a Fool
Xie Yingmian ignored the ridicule of Mrs. Xie Hou.
She said to Mrs. Wang seriously, "Madam, the fact that you can eat means that your anorexia can still be cured."
"If you are willing to trust me, come find me at Prince Ling's Mansion when you are free."
"Maybe I can help you think of a solution."
Mrs. Wang was startled.
She developed anorexia after her daughter was lost.
Over the past twenty years, she has seen many famous doctors, consulted many doctors, and taken many medicines, but nothing has worked.
Everything I eat tastes like chewing wax.
Even if you force yourself to swallow it, you will spit it out.
Over time, vomiting became a habit.
If you eat even a little bit, you will definitely vomit all over the place.
There was nothing in her stomach and all she vomited out was bile.
Over time, eating became like torture to her.
If it weren't for the fact that her daughter had not been found yet, she would have died with regrets and would have wanted to give up living long ago.
"Do you have a solution?" Mrs. Wang asked tremblingly.
Xie Yingmian said, "Let's give it a try. What if there's a miracle?"
Mrs. Wang gave a wry smile.
At first, she still believed in miracles.
In the end, as she was disappointed more and more times, she no longer had any hope.
Xie Yingmian didn't say anything else.
There is no point in saying more, the choice is in Mrs. Wang's hands.
She cut another piece of cake and asked, "Madam, would you like another piece?"
Mrs. Wang then noticed that
She didn't know when she finished eating the small piece in her hand.
After eating, I didn't feel nauseous, but hungry instead.
"Okay, thank you." Mrs. Wang handed the wooden tray to Xie Yingmian.
Xie Yingmian didn't cut too much for her.
Mrs. Wang didn't dare to eat too much. This was enough for her to eat for two days.
Many people present knew about Mrs. Wang’s strange illness.
Mrs. Wang's strange illness started after her daughter was lost. From the imperial physician to the folk healer, no one was able to cure her.
I heard that Lord Wang often asked the emperor for delicious food from the imperial kitchen to treat his wife's strange illness.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Wang couldn't eat any of it.
Mrs. Wang couldn't eat the delicious food from the imperial kitchen, but she could eat this cake.
Everyone became more curious about the cake.
More and more people came forward to serve cakes.
Only after they actually tasted the cake did they realize how delicious it was.
The cake is totally different from ordinary pastries.
When you eat it, not only will your mind become clear, but your body will also feel warm and strong.
They all come from wealthy families.
Everyone has some diseases of affluence to a certain extent.
After eating the cake, my body felt more relaxed than ever before.
If we ignore its strange appearance, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a panacea.
They all asked for a second piece, and some even asked for a third piece.
Soon, more than half of the whole cake was gone.
There are also people who think they are of noble status and feel that coming forward just for a bite of food is not in keeping with their noble status, so they look down on it.
People who have eaten the cake will not specifically remind you.
joke!
A panacea is hard to come by, but the cake is right in front of you.
To be honest, I'm afraid no one in the palace has ever tasted such delicious food.
The more people know, the less they get.
They are not willing to share it.
As a result, everyone present spontaneously split into two factions.
One is the cake faction, the other is the reserved faction.
Cake Pie thought that Reserved Pie was a fool. There was a panacea in front of him, but he refused to taste it for the sake of his face, thus missing out on a great opportunity.
The reserved group felt that Cake Pie was inappropriate. It was just a bite of food, but he disregarded his status and asked for it. It was really rude.
Each side thinks the other is a fool.
The two factions separated spontaneously.
The cake pies get together to discuss the wonders of cake.
The reserved group gathered together and continued to be superior.
Such a scene was beyond Xie Yingmian's expectations.
Xie Yingmian's original idea was to cause trouble for the Xie family, anger the Xie family, intensify the conflict, set a stage for Tu Bufan, and pave the way for the future plan to recover the dowry, that's all.
She didn't expect the cake to be so popular.
What was even more unexpected was that a piece of cake actually divided everyone into two groups.
"I believe this is a misunderstanding," said Mrs. Liu of the Cake Cake Party. "Let's not talk about the appearance for now. Let's just talk about this... cake. Is that its name?"
"This cake is incredibly delicious, more exquisite than any other pastry I've ever tasted. Furthermore, this cake is not available anywhere else in the entire Upper Capital. This shows how much thought Princess Ling put into making it."
Mrs. Wang also expressed her opinion: "That's right."
"This texture and flavor, it's no exaggeration to say it's a fairy product."
"This kind of immortal treasure is probably unique even in the imperial palace. I guess we have misunderstood."
The other ladies who tasted the cake expressed their approval.
Their unanimous opinion is that
It’s not Xie Yingmian’s fault that it looks like a green snake. If you want to blame someone, blame it on the fact that Old Madam Xie was born in the year of the snake.
If Mrs. Xie was born in the year of the rabbit and was made to look like a rabbit, this commotion would not have occurred.
They even made reservations with Xie Yingmian, saying that price was not an issue.
Xie Yingmian didn't want to answer.
However, the price of cakes has been raised to three thousand taels each by these ladies.
She took great pains to detoxify Fu Mo and Fu Feng and only received three thousand taels.
It was just a cake. The ingredients were from Prince Ling's Mansion, the tools were from Prince Ling's Mansion, and the labor was also from Prince Ling's Mansion. She just put in some effort and got three thousand taels of silver.
It would be a waste of so much money if I didn't take these orders.
So, she took the order with a smile.
He also solemnly stated that the patterns would be communicated in advance before making the cake to ensure that no taboos would be violated.
The reserved ones disdain to eat cake.
However, cakes, as a new type of pastry, are very suitable for birthday celebrations, and many people have expressed their desire to place an order.
The ladies had new topics to talk about and had long forgotten what happened before.
No one mentioned Xie Yingmian's prank again.
He didn't even remember the accusation made by Lady Xie.
Mrs. Xie had never expected this to happen.
She thought she had a sure win and could take the opportunity to vent her anger.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yingmian easily resolved it.
Mrs. Xie Hou knows better than anyone else,
The truth is not important, what matters is what people want to see.
When everyone is willing to believe Xie Yingmian, if she insists on making things difficult for Xie Yingmian, the reputation she has worked so hard to build will be reversed.
Mrs. Xie was extremely angry.
She clenched her sleeves tightly with her fingers, wishing she could poke ten holes in them.
She was unwilling to give in and didn't want to compromise.
However, if she continues to pursue the matter, public opinion will backfire on her.
She must find a new excuse!
When Lady Xie glanced at the dazed and silly Old Lady Xie, she immediately had an idea.
She bowed to everyone and said apologetically, "It seems I made a mistake."
"I saw that the old lady was frightened, and everyone else was frightened too. In my haste, I spoke a little hastily, which led to a misunderstanding. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all."
Madam Xie Hou turned to Xie Yingmian and said angrily, "You are such a fool, kid! Why didn't you let us know in advance so we could be mentally prepared? You caused such a huge misunderstanding for no reason."
"Look, the old lady is scared by you."
"House doctor, how is the old lady doing?"
The court doctor said, "Madam, the old lady is not in good condition. She didn't respond when I called her, and her eyes were wide open. I'm afraid she's been frightened and has developed a soul-dissociation syndrome."
Madam Xie Hou's expression changed drastically, and she raised her voice: "What did you say?"
