Xiqiu suddenly raised her head, interrupting Sixing's words: "Go ask Laiwang's wife, when will the First Master return to the mansion?"
Sixing was taken aback, looked at Xiqiu as if she had something to say but held back, then bowed her knees and said: "Yes!" and walked out the door.
As long as the First Master returns, the situation in the mansion will change. Regardless of his attitude towards the marriage, Lady cannot continue to act alone. From what she knows of him, a once highly favored Hanlin Academy Lecturer, who could decisively withdraw from the court's power struggles to seek an outpost, couldn't possibly only focus on the benefits of the marriage!
As long as there is a disagreement between the First Master and the Lady, she'll have a way to stop the marriage.
In less than a quarter of an hour, Sixing returned, surprisingly accompanied by Laiwang's wife.
