Tian and the others saw through her thoughts at a glance, but they kept silent until she stood up again and asked Mr. Ding San, who was chopping grass, to do some work for her, saying that she had a headache and wanted to go back and rest for half an hour.
This angered the brothers Ding Yang and Ding Jian, who directly exposed her thoughts. Cui Gu started arguing with them, and even scolded Tian and Chang for speaking out for justice.
