Xiqiu listened quietly, her heart gradually sinking. Laiwang's wife saying this was undoubtedly hinting at something. Could this matter be related to her?
Could it be Madam Xia? Was the First Master neglecting Madam Xia because of this matter too?
She couldn't believe that the honest Madam Xia was secretly accepting gifts from officials just like Madam Wang in Yongzhou!
However, since Laiwang's wife could say such a thing, she wouldn't speak lightly.
Laiwang's wife saw she didn't speak and knew she was pondering the implications, so she didn't interrupt. After a brief moment of contemplation, Xiqiu raised her head and said, "I'll think about this matter again. Thank you for telling me these things."
"No need to thank me, Sixth Miss," Laiwang's wife replied with a smile. "We'll surely rely on you a lot in the future!" She stood up as she spoke, "I can't stay too long. If Sixth Miss has any matters, just send someone to tell me in the outer court."
