After the story, the great lord arrived at Sui'an Hall and respectfully kowtowed to his mother as soon as he entered, saying, "I have not been able to serve you for a long time, I am truly unfilial." The Old Madam quickly had Nanny Qin help him up, laughing and scolding, "You're a grown man, still pulling these tricks with your old mother. Between us, we don't need to beat around the bush. Tell me, what trouble has your wife caused this time!"
Even at his age, the great lord felt a bit embarrassed by his mother's straightforwardness, especially with the maids present. Nanny Qin, who had watched him grow up, he didn't mind, but with the four young maids there, it was a bit humiliating. He glanced at his mother, then at the four maids!
The Old Madam was both amused and annoyed by his reaction, sarcastically saying, "I've spared her so much face before, but did your wife care for it? If she can do such things, why shouldn't my people hear about it?"
