"Alright, Chun'er, take her away. This must absolutely not be known to anyone." The Fourth Madam looked meaningfully at Chun'er.
"Rest assured, I won't mention this matter to anyone."
Xing'er thought the second half of the sentence was directed at her, and happily nodded her head.
A trace of mockery flickered in Chun'er's eyes.
Not long after taking Xing'er away, Chun'er returned.
She leaned close to the Fourth Madam's ear and said softly, "It's been taken care of."
Satisfaction flickered in the eyes of the Fourth Madam, "Spread the word that Xing'er stole the Third Madam's jewelry and, when discovered, she drowned herself in the well."
"Very well." Chun'er replied with a smile.

Ling Rong has a fever.
After two days and nights of strain, plus sleeping exposed and naked last night, it's no wonder she collapsed.
Cui'er wanted to inform the Prince, but Ling Rong stopped her.
She said, the Prince is so busy, don't bother him with these trivial matters.
