Chunyan finished applying the ointment to Xiqiu's leg and was about to leave the room with a towel and a tray when the door curtain was suddenly lifted. Xi'er rushed in hurriedly and said, "Sixth Miss, something bad has happened."
Xiqiu was embroidering a flower and suddenly pricked her finger. She quickly put her finger in her mouth and sucked on it, then asked, "What happened?" Xi'er replied, "Fourth Miss has hanged herself."
Xiqiu froze, looking at Xi'er in disbelief and asked, "Are you telling the truth?" These past few days, she had instructed Xi'er to stay and help in the main courtyard whenever she was free, even sending over Nanny Song. Because of this, Lady had praised her a few times.
