Love sickness? Suicidal intent?
Qin Qing was still wailing inside, and Chun Ping saw that Tang Rao had finally entered the room. She thought to herself that Dong Qi was still inside helping to cover up, while she knelt outside the door, acting out the full play. But if Tang Rao looked closely at her again, he would notice that Chun Ping's eyes had lost the pity they once held, replaced by triumph.
What Qin Qing did was a capital offense. Once Tang Rao knew what Qin Qing had done, how could she possibly have a chance at survival?
From the time Old Master Qin had sent Chun Ping and Dong Qi to Qin Qing's side, they had been prepared to sacrifice themselves for her. Qin Qing couldn't handle many matters herself, so Chun Ping and Dong Qi took care of them. If Qin Qing fell, the two maids wouldn't have a good life either.
