Shiyi also angrily told Empress Shan, "Feng Miaohua is truly despicable, she went so far as to hurt Yan'er, such a kind and gentle girl. As did my third elder sister, showing me, her brother, no respect. They clearly saw me introduce our sixth sister to Yan'er and told them that Yan'er is my childhood companion and that they should get along well with her, yet Feng Miaohua still dared to scald her with boiling water. Mother did not see, Yan'er was crying so pitifully, she must have been in extreme pain."
Empress Shan, with her Bodhisattva-like compassionate heart, was pained at the thought of the little girl being scalded and crying so agonizingly. She said, "The poor child, the eldest daughter of the Chus is so gentle and amiable, most pleasing little lady. Ms. Miao is really too much."
