Si Ma Roumei, while planning to play with her friends, heard news from Tang Shunyan that she could visit the Ye family estate again.
Of all the sisters, only Ye Fengqi returned; the others all remained at the Capital City.
At home, unlike Tang Shunyan, the young master of the Tang Family, Si Ma Roumei wasn't privy to the conversations her father had with family members.
County Magistrate Si Ma Heyu, having received a letter from within the family, did not disclose its contents to his wife or daughter.
Nor would he share such information with his concubines. If his sons had been there, it might have been possible to share the family's thoughts and considerations with them. However, since both sons were in the Capital City, he had not written to let them know.
He truly believed, since his sons were male and studying in the Capital City, they would not associate with females secluded at home.
