That morning, early on, Muniang went with Zhao Ziming to pay a special visit to Lu Mansion, but when they inquired after Lu Qi'er, they were told she had been confined to her room and was not permitted to step out.
"Lady Yu, I really am so sorry, but the young mistress caused such a fury with the master yesterday. Master said no one is allowed to see her, and she must reflect on her actions behind closed doors," said the young maid with difficulty.
Muniang, however, was not anxious and said directly, "Then go and inform Lord Lu that the young master from the Zhao Family has come to visit your young mistress."
The young maid hesitated for a moment, then heard Zhao Ziming say, "I heard that Qi'er is in low spirits, and I have specially come to visit her. I also wish to take Qi'er out for a stroll to cheer her up afterward. Just let Uncle Lu know, and he will surely permit it."
The maid then agreed and went to pass on the message.
