Shi Jin told the story in detail about what had made the Second Master angry, leaving out only the Second Master's threats.
After hearing this, the old lady motioned for Shi Jin to come forward and patted her hands, "I know you are a good child, don't be afraid. If the second son punishes you for this incident, you can come find me."
Shi Jin was flattered and hurriedly thanked the old lady for her grace.
In order to appease Shi Jin, the old lady ordered Tan Xiang to open the box, took out a hairpin with flowers and gave it to Shi Jin, along with two pieces of good cloth.
Tan Xiang was surprised that this hairpin with flowers and a ruyi hairpin was even more exquisite than the gemstone head ornament given to Mrs. Hu. Without thinking too much, she took it as ordered.
