"This needs to be asked of those wrongful spirits who died unjustly, and their families." Manbao also glanced at the window, saying, "I think this shouldn't be the result, but rather the cause. It's the cause of the Empress Dowager assisting these poor folks; what kind of result it will yield in the future is unknown to anyone."
Bai Shan said, "But that's not what she's thinking."
Manbao just shook her head, saying, "She doesn't have much longer to live, why argue over the long and short with her? If she gets angry and dies because of it, does it count as your responsibility, or mine?"
Regardless of whose responsibility it is, things won't end well for either of them, so it's better to avoid the topic.
Manbao didn't accept it, and just pretended not to know the Empress Dowager's intention to atone for her sins, simply acting as if she were doing good deeds for herself, which might lead her to do more good deeds.
