Origin and Story of 一口咬定
After Lady Wang discovered a handbag with an erotic totem, she ordered a search of all maids in Grand View Garden. She expelled Siqi, Yingchun's maid.
Still not satisfied, and seeing that Baoyu had matured, she then banished the beautiful maid Qingwen from Grand View Garden.
Baoyu secretly went to Qingwen's home to visit her. Qingwen felt deeply wronged, lamenting that merely for her beauty, she was firmly accused of being a 'fox spirit'.
