Su Jing turned to leave with Gu Zi but remembered her earlier instructions. Quietly, yet deliberately, she muttered, "Sister-in-law, if she doesn't want to accept it, so be it. After all, she's the one who started this mess. I haven't even mentioned how she falsely accused me! You weren't even home when she came by. I explained everything, and she flat-out called me a liar. Forget it—let's take the cake back and eat it ourselves. A woman as unreasonable as her doesn't deserve something this good anyway."
Huang Fei had initially planned to deliver a few more sharp remarks to assert her dominance over Gu Zi, but she hadn't expected them to simply leave—taking the exquisitely crafted cake with them.
Panic flashed across her face for a brief moment, quickly replaced by irritation. That little wench Su Jing was fanning the flames now, spurring Gu Zi to leave. Her fingers curled into fists at the thought of missing out on that coveted dessert.
