"Young Master Murong, could you please take Azǐ down? She is still young, and having grown up without parents by her side, it is inevitable that she lacks manners. If you are still angry, I beg you to punish me, her mother, instead!" After hanging from the flagpole for half a day, Azǐ still refused to yield, and Ruan Xingzhu, unable to bear it any longer, was the first to plead with Murong Fu.
"This little punishment is merely a drop in the ocean compared to everything Azhu has suffered, hmph!" Murong Fu remained furious. Whenever he thought of the suffering Azhu had endured, what was this compared to that?
"Young Master, what must be done to let her down? She has already fainted. If it is within my power, I will agree to anything!" Ruan Xingzhu had already lost the love of Duan Zhengchun; she could not bear to lose Azǐ as well.
