Xiqiu was filled with surprise, but felt embarrassed to show it, so she asked, "How could this happen? Have you found out who the person is?"
Madam Le shook her head, "No name, no identity. We interrogated the wretched girl all night, but she wouldn't reveal anything. Even the few maids around her kept their lips sealed. In my anger, I sold them all off. Right now, she's locked up in her room and hasn't eaten anything since last night. She wouldn't listen to Pingrong either."
"Don't be too upset, you'll only harm yourself by getting angry. She's just a child. With proper reasoning, she'll eventually understand. There's no issue between mother and daughter that can't be resolved!" Xiqiu could only offer such persuasion, as it wasn't a glorious matter, and as an outsider, she couldn't say much.
