As soon as Manhe left, Mrs. Cao looked at Su Xing with a kind smile and said, "Xin'er, it's my misunderstanding, too. I was angry because I only wanted to do what's best for Ye'er, but then people started suspecting me of poisoning him. Luckily, you're just cautious by nature and didn't really think I'm such a vicious person. However, your preferences are a bit unusual; if you're not careful, it might hurt people's feelings. I don't mind, but others might blame you for always being on guard against them. If you can change, you should."
Su Xing smiled and said, "When my father was still alive, he told me it's better to be careful. So no matter what I do, I'm extremely cautious, especially when it comes to food and drink."
The words were clearly an implicit mockery.
Mrs. Cao pretended not to notice this, still maintaining her concerned, motherly demeanor: "You just tested it, the medicine isn't poisoned, why not let Ye'er take it?"
