She walked up to the two men and asked in a deep voice, "Tell me, why are you fighting?"
The two looked up at each other but neither spoke.
"What, you're ignoring my words? What do you think the Li residence is, that you can just start a fight whenever you want? Do you really think I wouldn't dare to do anything to you? Guards, lock these two people in the woodshed separately, and don't give them food or water. Let them go hungry for a few meals, and see who still has the strength to fight!"
These two men were stubborn and refused to beg for mercy. Instead, they obediently allowed themselves to be pushed into the woodshed and locked up by the people around them.

I was quick-witted and dodged, avoiding the beating, and instead scratched him a few times, which angered him. If someone hadn't held him back, I probably wouldn't be standing right now."
