He also scolded the Wang Shanbao family in public for taking advantage of others' power. Her resistance was met with brutal revenge. Mrs. Wang was pulled off the kang and kicked out when she was so sick that "nothing had touched her teeth for four or five days." That day, Baoyu went to visit secretly. Qingwen was deeply moved, so she cut off her two onion-tube fingernails, took off an old red silk jacket that was close to her body, and gave it to him. That night, Qingwen died tragically.
