Madam Xu was startled.
"We are serving the lady, and it is our duty..."
Feng Yun smiled, "In this world, there is no such affection that is due."
She held Madam Xu's hand, "We are in the same boat, and from now on we must pull together and work diligently."
Madam Xu left with tears of gratitude.
She then found her son, Xing Dalang, and lectured him earnestly, advising him to serve Feng Yun wholeheartedly from here on out.
Xing Dalang's ears were calloused from listening.
"All right, all right, Mom, the whole village knows you've become a petty official, a person who lives off the government's grain too."
Madam Xu spat at him.
"Irreverent. Remember what I told you..."
When Xing Dalang heard her start again, he looked to make a quick exit.
"When Dad comes back, talk to him about it. I'm definitely obedient on this end."
Madam Xu couldn't help but laugh and cry, tapping her son's head.
"If I could find him, would I need you?"
