The palace maid was somewhat astonished and asked, "Old Madam, why aren't you anxious?"
"Anxious for what? What's there to be anxious about!"
"The Prime Minister has had an accident, aren't you sad?" The palace maid found it a bit unbelievable; in this era where husbands were revered, the Old Madam's attitude was indeed rare.
"Isn't the Empress here? As long as the Empress is around, what do we have to worry about? Even if the Prime Minister poked a hole in the sky, the Empress would find a way to patch it up, it's fine, don't worry." The Old Madam looked as steady as a mountain.
The palace maid finally understood; the Old Madam thought the Prime Minister had caused some trouble and believed the Empress would back him, so she wasn't worried at all.
"Old Madam, it's not like that, it's not." The palace maid, seeing the Old Madam so calm, didn't know how to begin.
Old Madam: "What exactly is it?"
Palace Maid: "The Prime Minister hasn't caused any trouble."
