Qian Yixiu spent a day engulfed in sorrow at Lianxiang Water Pavilion, also pondering whether she should take the risk. Qian Sangui, Lady Wu, and mother and son Pan Yue came to see her, but she didn't dare tell them the truth, only saying she was feeling under the weather and a rest would suffice.
Lady Wu and Pan Yue had also heard that she was frightened awake by a nightmare last night. They thought she had caught a chill during the night and suggested sending for Doctor Lin to prescribe her some medicinal soups.
Qian Yixiu said, "Nowadays, the Old Fairy resides in our own home, where's the need to call for another doctor? He has already taken my pulse and said it's nothing serious, that I should just rest and recuperate."
Lady Wu and Pan Yue were relieved. Only Qian Sangui felt uneasy, understanding that the Old Fairy wouldn't visit someone's home without good reason, let alone reside there.
