I remembered uncle teaching this us once when we were visiting underground and informed us to use it in case something happens to general house.
Everybody started to run through this tunnel. Me and Mei both looked at the servant girl and asked her "Where is mother and aunt?
"Don't worry Young miss. The Madams are safe and the master has brought them to Taiji temple. We should go now.'
But Mei looked towards the door for very long time and shed her tears uncontrollably.
I think she might be remembering Yan rong. Every time he went to war, he would always kiss her on cheeks and told her to wait him at the door on the day he returns. And every time he kept his promise. He always came back safe and Mei would kiss on his lip at the house's gate. Every time he returned from war he would coax her for three days straight. He would be worried that she had suffer troubles and worried much about him and didn't care her health.
But today was an exception.
I called Mei countless time as I told her to go but she stand there lifelessly. At last one servant girl hold her and dragged her away.
