The River Clam Spirit secretly mocked Anning for his whimsical idea, thinking a few red ropes could bind it, it was simply a dream.
She leisurely lay at the bottom of the vat, contemplating how to escape at night.
Anning placed the River Clam Spirit in the water vat and went to eat breakfast.
After breakfast, she went to accompany Granny Yao.
Just after exchanging a few words with Granny Yao, a maid came to say that Old Master Yao wanted to see Anning.
Granny Yao hurriedly said: "You should go quickly, your uncle is calling you, surely there must be something important."
Anning then followed the maid to Old Master Yao's inner study room.
She entered the study and saw Old Master Yao standing at the desk writing.
Anning approached and greeted, "Hello, Uncle."
Old Master Yao looked up and smiled: "Ningning has come, you sit first, let me finish writing these few words and then we can talk."
Anning nodded.
