Xiang Yun was held in her mother's bosom, remembering how she had just been bullied by Mo Ziqi, and thinking back to the peril of last night, she couldn't help but burst into loud, wronged sobs.
Madam Wu's dowry old palace maid, Lady Liu, advised, "Madam, you mustn't cry anymore. Look, isn't Miss alright? Your crying is actually making Miss cry!"
Hearing this, Madam Wu gradually stopped her sobbing and said to Xiang Yun, "Listen to me, this time, mother cannot let you carry on with your nonsense. You must go back to your mother-in-law's house. If you won't go back, then mother will move in and live with you. If those bandits or robbers come again, in the worst case, mother will die with you."
Mother Liu said, "Madam, listen to what you're saying. The Central Distributions in the mansion still need you to oversee them. If you stay here, who's going to manage all that business back at the mansion?"
