Dou Yan had no wish to be drawn into the tangle between him and Wang Shuying. After one game she began to yawn. "Let Gaosheng play you; I'm going to bed." She covered her mouth, bade them a mumbled good night, and went back to her room.
As Haitang helped her wash, she said in a low voice, "Seventh Master asked Seventh Mistress whether she knew about Pang Jixiu sending you the lantern. Seventh Mistress said she did, and Seventh Master gave her a scolding. Seventh Mistress felt much aggrieved, saying the thing was a gift to you, so how would she dare stop it. Then Seventh Master said she and the Pang family were in league together, and Seventh Mistress was so angry she began to cry. Fifth Miss heard the commotion and ran over, and Seventh Master had the two rough maids bring Fifth Miss to you..."
"All right, I understand," Dou Yan said with interest, and climbed onto the kang.
In such matters, it was indeed more reassuring to leave things to Dou Yan.
