Although she felt it was a pity, serving it to the young master, Xingxing still felt it was too cruel.
She picked up the pastries and said, "I'll take these away to discard."
"You can't throw them away yet," Su Jin said.
After all, these pastries were a gift from the Empress.
Disposing of them like that would be a great disrespect to the Empress, truly losing face.
She would never do something that gave others a handle on her.
This would reveal that she knew there was poison in the pastries; she was intentionally setting up the Old Madam.
Xingxing realized this and quickly put the pastries down.
She was just worried that the lady really felt it was a waste of pastries and would make the young master eat them.
In the end—
Xingxing's worry became reality.
Su Jin actually gave the pastries to Xie Jingchen.
