Madam Pei, who is also the Marchioness, visited Qu Fulan once.
She was pushed over in a wheelchair.
Madam Pei had not yet fully recovered, yet she came to see Qu Fulan. Qu Fulan truly felt overwhelmed by the honor.
"Madam, you're too kind. You could have just sent someone over. Why trouble yourself to come in person?" Qu Fulan truly felt undeserving.
Madam Pei, however, smiled and said, "Ultimately, it was our oversight that brought you such misfortune."
"It had nothing to do with you. Those who intend to do evil will find a way; no one can completely guard against them."
Madam Pei nodded with a smile, "You see things clearly, just as the old lady said - you're sharp and clever. I heard you're skilled in many areas, particularly quite good at cooking?"
Qu Fulan nodded but dared not boast and simply replied, "It's just that people aren't picky, that's all."
