“Jingyi, although I am married to your brother, I am only a junior in terms of seniority. I cannot accept such words from Grandmother Cheng. Please do not make me feel uncomfortable.”
It is no small matter for Empress Dowager Cheng to say something like "retreat." It is very likely that Jingyi has suddenly become close to Yuejiang, and the reason for this closeness must be the tasting event a few days ago.
