"It's this lady here, said to be the wife of our Prefect. With so many people in Shandong falling ill, Lord Prefect has fallen ill too. It's said that someone can cure Lord Prefect, and all they want is for the Prefect's wife to kneel on the main street for three days."
"Is that so? I hadn't realized Madam Ye was so compassionate and loyal. Lord Ye is truly fortunate."
"Pah, what luck. If you ask me, Lord Ye is no good. Just to save his own life, he's letting his wife do such a shameful thing, kneeling in public; how disgraceful."
"Exactly, if he's going to die, he should do it alone; why drag his wife into it? This lady will lose face and won't even be able to leave her house after this; how embarrassing."
"That's not right to say; is face worth more than life?"
"Regardless, Lord Ye is no good, not showing his face even while his wife is kneeling."
