Meiniang steadied her nerves, then gave careful instructions:
"That mistress seems to have truly lost her mind. Keep a close watch on Zhuo'er lately and let him have as little contact with her as possible. Better to be safe than sorry; caution is the priority."
The maid, Sang'er, trembled slightly and replied:
"I’ve noticed that the mistress actually cares quite a bit for Zhuo'er. Several times when he was crying and screaming during his afternoon nap and you were too frazzled to soothe him, it was the mistress who picked him up and sang him to sleep."
"After all, Zhuo'er is her own grandson. No matter how ruthless she might be, she wouldn't harm such a small child."
