Who knew she hadn't finished speaking before Tong Xiyan interrupted her: "You know that Third Master Ren is no good, a wastrel; how could Madam Wang be unaware? But she doesn't care about that. What she wants is for Third Sister to marry into a noble family, become a high-ranking Young Madam. As for how the husband is, isn't it all about skill?"
Xiqiu was stunned, thinking Tong Xiyan's words, though crudely put, were quite true. What she could hear, how could Madam Wang be ignorant of it? Yet she didn't care in the slightest; all she wanted was wealth and luxury, believing that a man's virtues were simply a test of a woman's ability to keep his heart.
She must have imparted all her lifelong knowledge to Tong Xiyang.
Xiqiu sat in the chair, her heart weighed down like a stone. Thinking of Sixing and Siliu, she asked Xinzhu: "Did you check the outer court, are Sixing and Siliu okay?"
