The maids and old women in the house were all terrified.
Frightened by the thought that it could really be a vengeful spirit seeking retribution, Lady Chen, who had stayed under the pretense of nursing injuries, wondered if Pei Wenjie's restless ghost, having failed to claim a life last time, had now come for Pei Wensheng's... To give him the "ghost's shave"!? This thought instantly terrified her beyond measure. Her own hair wouldn't also... When she combed her hair, it too began to fall out, in great clumps, "Ah, ah, ah..."
Qian Wanxiu blamed the doctor for prescribing poisoned medicine, which caused Pei Wensheng to be poisoned.
But when they switched to a new doctor, no signs of poisoning could be found.
Even after switching to yet another doctor, nothing was diagnosed.
However, Pei Wensheng's hair continued to fall out even more. He had only to untie his hair bun, and without yet combing, a large clump would fall out.
