Tingyi isn't involved in these matters, but he knows this is a serious issue: "Uncle, we will definitely give you an explanation."
Ma Chengteng responded: "Alright, once I'm back, I'll have a copy of the list made and sent over." The focus wasn't on the argument; it was about retrieving the items. Since Tingyi stated Lian Mansion would resolve it, further contention would be futile. Of course, arguing would only lead to this result anyway.
Ma Chengteng returned to Lian Mansion and had a copy of the list prepared for the Second Steward to deliver.
When the Second Steward handed the list to Tingyi, he said: "Our Old Master said that if the other furniture cannot be found, that's fine, but these two circled items must be retrieved. They're ancient heirlooms left by our ancestors."
Tingyi took the list and went to find Lian Dongfang, as he couldn't handle this matter himself.
