Shi Yaoguang had been staying in the dressing room all along, avoiding Shi Yiqing and their mother, who, after cajoling Yiqing, couldn't find Yaoguang to vent her anger on.
With no other choice, she had to stay behind and condemn Shi Yaoguang together with Shi Yiqing.
Beyond censure, Shi Yiqing also put on a hypocritical show, shedding a few crocodile tears.
She'd say, "I didn't want it to be like this either, I also don't know why sister is acting this way, I'm sorry mom and dad, it's all my fault..."
Whenever such remarks were made, their mother's heart would fill with pity for her.

After the third-to-last act concluded, Shi Yaoguang entered backstage.
Though the host had not seen the performer of the penultimate act arrive, a message had already been received in advance.
After confirming the performer wouldn't be absent, the hosting continued after the third-to-last performance ended.
