Mrs. Zhang and her husband Yang Zhan had long reached a tacit understanding, with one accompanying Fu Zhen and the other accompanying Pei Zhan, and they separated into two paths upon entering the garden.
Along the way, Mrs. Zhang occasionally introduced some of the garden's scenery, which was quite normal. After entering the garden, they gradually walked along the shady path by the lake, where Mrs. Zhang signaled to the servants to retreat, then pointed to a set of stone table and chairs by the lake, saying: "Let's rest here for a while."
Fu Zhen followed her arrangements and sat down when told.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her from the corner of her eye and said: "About what Princess Yongping said to you earlier, you didn't take it to heart, did you?"
Fu Zhen replied: "Why does the princess say that? I didn't feel the commandery princess was disrespectful in any way."
