Ding Wei roared:
"It is precisely because they are young that there is still time to correct their words and actions. At such a tender age, instead of learning to be good, they dare to look down upon their own mother for her humble origins. Even I do not look down on her; how could a child look down on, gossip about, or be dissatisfied with his own mother?"
Eunuch De, knowing Ding Wei’s temper, wisely took his leave. He soon returned, bringing Chunhua, Shuiyue, Zhishu, Piaoxue, and the four princes to the Imperial Study. Seeing that everyone had arrived, they offered their greetings. Perhaps having already learned the truth of the matter, the four women stood with their heads bowed, not daring to make a sound as they looked at the furious Ding Wei.
Ding Wei waved his hand and said with annoyance, "Lock these four rebellious children in the side room until they admit their faults."
