Qin Yuan said, "After it falls, it should rise again, but I can't predict how much it will rise."
Hongye said angrily, "Madam is not a fortune teller. If you don't want to contribute, you can return it. If you still want to contribute, Madam will tell you after she buys it."
Those who had contributed to Qin Yuan's donation secretly rejoiced.
Those who had paid a high price for the Sixth Madam were filled with regret.
When Gu Shiliu came to invite her, Hongye said, "You all hurry up and get on with your business. Madam and the Marquis are going to meet guests. The matter of pepper isn't urgent, it won't take a day or two."

Qin Yuan said, "When it comes to money, no matter how much or how little, there are no small matters, so we must make things clear. Actually, just holding onto it like this won't necessarily lead to a loss; it will just mean earning less in the future. But even if we say that, they won't believe us.
