"Right now, the Hundred Buddha Painting is a source of psychological comfort for Aunt Shen. Even though she slept well last night, if you were to secretly remove the painting tonight, I guarantee she'd immediately have a relapse. It might even be worse than before because she'd have lost her source of security."
"Also, we absolutely cannot let Aunt Shen know the truth right now. She must not find out that this was all a setup we arranged," Li Xu instructed.
"Once Aunt Shen has had some time to adjust and has truly overcome her mental hurdle, the Hundred Buddha Painting will become optional. This is what we call 'stabilizing her spirit.' Once her spirit is stable, it's like laying a solid foundation. Then we won't have to worry about her finding out the truth later. Even if she does, she'll only appreciate the great lengths we went to for her benefit. She won't be so easily triggered into a relapse."
"It's the same principle as taking traditional Chinese medicine."
