She knew how much women in ancient times valued their reputation. Dealing with it this way would surely help Tong Yunyao vent her anger, making it easier for Tong Yunyao to act as a matchmaker for her in the future.
"Since she's being so tactless, it's only right that we play a trick on her. This garden is nice, and there's even a lake! The lake looks quite deep; if someone fell in, it wouldn't be pleasant. What do you think, sister?"
Tong Yunyao frowned upon hearing this. It wasn't that she dared not, but today's banquet was being held at Tong Cheng'er's house, an unfamiliar place, making it difficult to handle!
"Sister, tell me exactly how to do it."
Shuyuan whispered, "...How about this, little sister?"

The maid was a little confused by the question. She had arrived in a hurry, and since Tong Yunyao had a grudge against her mistress and her tone wasn't very friendly, she didn't dare to ask any more questions.
