Fan Meijiao, who was dead set on pushing Mo Yan into the fire pit, learned in the evening when Mr. Zhao returned home that Mo Yan had been granted marriage by Imperial Edict. Unable to bear such a provocation, she actually fainted from anger.
After waking up, Fan Meijiao, regardless of the maids' earnest persuasion, kept pounding on the bed and crying. She simply couldn't accept that someone she despised had been granted marriage by The Emperor, and the man she was to marry was of the highest quality—handsome, with a bright future and an excellent family background. The thought of having to bow and pay respects to her when they met outside was more painful to her than a stab wound.
Even though the maids around her flattered her by saying she would soon marry into the Mu Family and become Lady Gui, it didn't cheer her up.
