After the old woman finished scolding, she took the meal away and locked the door.
Fan Meiniang's eyes were red. She would endure the slap for now, but she would return it tenfold sooner or later.

She said guiltily, "Madam, I have always been in good health and haven't been sick for three years. How could I suddenly become so ill when you were attending the shogunate's birthday banquet?"
