When Madam Wang heard that Wu Yining had gone to Cypress Lane, she was so furious that she berated her fiercely, threatening that if she acted rashly again, she would not be allowed to attend Princess Changping's reaching the age of marriage ceremony as a spectator. This scared Wu Yining into returning to her room obediently.
Nonetheless, this incident made Wu Yining increasingly resentful towards Wufu, blaming her for losing face and causing herself to be scolded.
Madam Wang was indeed angry at Wufu's disregard and arrogance, but she also knew that visiting now would be asking for trouble. Furthermore, she wanted to bring her daughters to the ceremony of Princess Changping to gain advantage in seeking a good marriage. Despite her anger, she was forced to hold it back.
