On the way back from Mu Dalang's house, Lu Yuanfeng asked Mu Shuangshuang what she had added to Mrs. Lin's dumplings in the morning.
Mu Shuangshuang smiled and replied, "Actually, it's nothing much, just some mandrake powder I used last year to mess with my second uncle and my fifth uncle. After eating it, people experience hallucinations.
Back then, my second uncle held onto my fifth uncle for quite a while, almost kissed him! I'm just not sure if that stuff, after sitting for so long, still has that effect.
If it does, I'd like my second aunt to see some ghosts and get scared to death."
Mrs. Lin has been aggressive towards the third branch, not just for a day or two.
People say, when you eat someone else's food, you tend to be soft-spoken, but she doesn't treat the third branch kindly.
At least she should talk less, but Mrs. Lin doesn't; after eating the third branch's food, she scolds even more energetically.
