Once Su Xiaowan understood the meaning from the young soldier, she realized that Song Yongmei was causing trouble on the parade ground, feeling wronged and wanting Han Dongchen to stand up for her. She couldn't help but sneer to herself, thinking: No wonder Song Yongmei ended up on the losing end, she deserved it. She had to admit defeat in this matter, after all, she had no valid arguments.
If she acted decently, this matter would be easy to handle, and Han Dongchen would naturally step in. But with her kicking up such a fuss, if Han Dongchen intervened now, it would look bad. And likewise, it would give people a chance to talk.
The best way to handle this now would be to have Su Xiaowan and others first take Song Yongmei home. If she was indeed wronged, they could handle it privately. Otherwise, if they let a colonel bully a communications soldier, that would not look good if the word got out.
