"Fang'er!" Mrs. Wang hastily called after Gu Fangzi had already dashed out the door.
"You! Look how you've frightened her!" Mrs. Wang scolded her son and said, "These past days, it was all thanks to Fang'er who stayed by my side and comforted me. Yet you, instead of thanking her, gave her an unpleasant look as soon as you returned. How do you expect her to feel both inwardly and outwardly?"
Shi Fengju replied, "Mother, I am naturally grateful to her for accompanying and consoling you, but certain things must be distinguished. For a young lady to act in such a manner—I simply cannot accept it!"
