After the eunuch left, the news that the Empress Dowager and the Empress had scolded Feng Miaohua soothed the Chus. However, upon seeing the forlorn young girl and the ointment on her hands, Chen Afu still felt frustrated, wishing she could beat up Feng Miaohua herself.
The young Miss Chu was frightened. As soon as she returned to the Bamboo Pavilion from An Royal Mansion, she went straight to bed, even sleeping in Chen Afu's bed. In her sleep, she cried saying that someone was trying to beat her, and someone was trying to scald her, and she wouldn't let go of Chen Afu's hand. In the midst of resting, an eunuch arrived to convey orders.
Upon hearing that the formidable Empress Dowager and the Empress had reprimanded Feng Miaohua and that Feng Miaohua would not dare to scald her again in the future, the young lady felt somewhat better. Back at the Bamboo Pavilion, she continued sleeping, this time more soundly.
