By this time, the onlookers had probably figured out what was going on, and they all tried to persuade her: "Yes, Lingling, Wanqiu did go to your room yesterday to comfort Wenfang. We heard it from the outside room, and she didn't stay for very long. Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
"Yes, Lingling, why don't you go back and look for it again, see if you put it somewhere else and forgot about it?"
