The situation was not complicated.
Yu Jie's husband, Official Zhen, had gone to the Pass to trade in furs. When their home underwent a great upheaval, Yu Jie sent someone to find him and followed the government official to the county to file a report.
That night, Yu Jie thought she had gone to sleep, when suddenly she heard someone calling her name. She opened her eyes to find it was her husband.
The moment Yu Jie saw her husband, she burst into tears and threw herself at him, recounting the murder of her mother-in-law through sobs.
Official Zhen by the bed comforted her with kind words, yet showed no trace of sorrow. When Yu Jie's crying subsided, he embraced her, comforting her further with intentions for intimate pleasure.
Yu Jie was in no mood for such things and quickly struggled free. But Official Zhen did not let go, which she found very strange and made her wary.
