Lady took a sip of tea from Nanny Fang's hand, leaned back on the pillow, and said in bewilderment, "…I clearly heard it just now." Nanny Fang laughed and said, "Though the mansion can't be said to have tight security, the maids patrol seven or eight times a night. If there really were such sounds, something must have happened, and someone should have come to report it to you by now!"
Lady thought this made some sense and nodded. Nanny Fang said, "Why don't you get some more sleep? It's not yet dawn." As she spoke, she helped Lady lie down again. Just as Lady closed her eyes, the face of Aunt Liu, who died in childbirth ten years ago, appeared before her. With her hair down, she wore the pink jacket she wore when carried into the mansion, tears streaming down her face as she reached out to her, crying, "Madam, the servant and Fourth Young Master have come to pay respects to you."
