It took him a long time to come out of the study.
We went to the old lady's Ci'en Hospital.
He said to Yalan, the new maidservant by the old lady's side, "Go to each courtyard and call all the masters here."
He then handed another letter to Ya Hui: "You must deliver this letter to the Second Madam yourself, do not entrust it to anyone else."
After doing all this, Gu Boyu scratched his head and sat down next to the old lady, letting his hair down. He said to her, "Mother, my head is itchy. Can you scratch it for me, like when I was a child?"
The old lady's eyes reddened. She took his hair down and, seeing his full head of white hair, couldn't help but choke up and say, "Eldest son, how come your hair is all white?"
Gu Boyu smiled and said, "Mother, I'm almost fifty years old too."
The old lady gently scratched him, and before long, all of the main wife's concubines and Gu Chengyan's five concubines came to the old lady's Ci'en Courtyard.

Madam Lu snorted and scolded, "What kind of behavior is this, a lowly concubine shouting like this! Ruan Su, slap her in the face."
Ruan Su is a newly promoted head maid.
Ruan Su slapped Guan Yingying twice, and Guan Yingying stood up angrily, glaring at Ruan Su.
Lu's voice rose a little: "What, you're not going to listen to me? Want to rebel?"
Guan Yingying didn't want to be beaten anymore, so she could only lower her head resentfully and say, "This servant knows her mistake."
Once everyone was present, Gu Boyu said to Butler Zhang, "Lock the door."
