Nanny Qi has recently been making small clothes. Those familiar with her know she has a small habit: when threading a needle, she likes to put the thread end in her mouth to keep it from fraying, making it easier to thread through the needle's eye.
In the past, it was usually Lian Hua, Pang Ya, Xiao Qing, and others who helped Nanny Qi with the threading. Later, out of boredom, Lian Hua tinkered around and invented a simple needle-threader, which made threading much easier. Since then, Nanny Qi preferred to thread the needles herself, a habit only those in Canglan Court knew about.
Coincidentally, Xia Liu was one of those who knew. The food and water in Canglan Court were under Nanny Qi's strict control, so strict that ordinary people couldn't even get close, let alone have an opportunity to poison it. Someone like Xia Liu could only do trivial tasks unrelated to the Main Hall and Side Hall, which she rarely approached.
