Xiqiu noticed Madam Qian's eyes flash slightly before she gave a bright smile: "It's such a pity, I just happened to visit my family yesterday. Another day when Madam comes, be sure to visit my place. Let me fulfill my duty as a host!"
Fifth Madam said: "No hurry, Madam. My mother has left, but I stayed behind. Wait until Madam has time, then invite her over to give you a proper bow."
Xiqiu raised an eyebrow, finding it odd. It was reasonable for Fifth Madam, being pregnant, not to be here hosting. Yet now she suddenly appeared, not speaking with Lady or Madam Ruan, who is familiar with the Marquis Mansion, but instead choosing to talk with Madam Qian, all the while focusing on her maternal family's affairs...
Her heart stirred, she glanced at Lady, and saw Lady frown ever so slightly!
