Song Jiyun stepped forward, gracefully performed a courtesy to Ninth Master Song, and said, "You have traveled a long way, please first have a cup of tea in the hall. The matter of Song Li is not urgent, he is detained with someone guarding him, he cannot escape anyhow."
Ninth Master Song seemed somewhat displeased and insisted on seeing Song Li, "Without seeing that scourge, I cannot be at peace!"
Song Jiyun, however, insisted that Ninth Master Song first take a seat in the hall, "It's not that I'm not letting you meet him, just have a cup of tea first."
In the end, Ninth Master Song relented and went to the hall.
Song Jiyun personally served him tea and instructed a young maid to serve some refreshments before explaining the situation from beginning to end. Finally, she looked at him and said, "Song Li claimed that all his actions were at your instigation!"
Ninth Master Song was astonished and retorted, "Impossible!"
