As he was shooting out curses, he suddenly heard a voice from behind. He turned around and saw imperial uncle Lu. Zhang was shaking with fear.

Zhang Gui composed himself and kowtowed before Lu Zhailang and said:

"Such a pathetic person as myself is deserving of death!"

Lu took his slingshot and savagely hit Zhang's head with it. He asked, why was he cursing. Wang Long also stood there, looking fiercely and chiming in, in support of his master.

"Zhang Gui, how dare you curse at me? Answer at once!"

"My lowliness did not know it was your highness! Please your highness, have mercy!

Lady Li waited a while for her husband at the cemetery, but as he has still not returned, she started feeling worried at the bottom of her heart.

She saw her husband kneeling on the ground, and forgetting to compose herself she shouted "Ah!".
She rushed over as if she was stepping twice with three legs.

As soon as the imperial uncle saw Lady Li, he turned fully towards her and grew a smile, but then he looked sternly again. He shouted and ordered Zhang Gui to stand up and pay attention to what he's about to say.

"Zhang Gui! Your error is severe, so come stand in front of me at once!"

Zhang Gui's head touched the ground, and then shaking from fear he stood in front of Lu. The imperial uncle quietly murmured something, while he sometimes gave savoring glances to Lady Li and looking with anger at Zhang.

When Lu finished talking, along with Wang Long and his servants saddled up and left. Zhang Gui stood still for a bit, and then sighed heavily, letting out a stream of tears. Lady Li didn't understand what was going on, so she began urging his husband to return home.

After returning home, Zhang Gui thought long and hard, but could not come to a decision if he should focus on his career or go and lodge a complaint. Lady Li tried a hundred things to cheer him up, but Zhang just kept sighing.

"A hen's egg cannot go against a mountain of rock. So why are you worried like this?"

Zhang Gui sunk into silence and suffered. After some time, he jumped up and like a madman, grabbed Lady Li's hands and started crying streams of tears. Lady Li looked at him cluelessly.
