Lady furrowed her brows and refused without a second thought, "Your Sixth Sister is also ill, how can she go with you? Let her stay home and recuperate, you can go with your First Sister!"
Tong Xiyan stubbornly turned her face away and closed her eyes again, looking unwilling to say more. Seeing her like this, Tong Xihua smiled and said, "If Mother doesn't agree, would it be alright if I do? Let Sixth Sister accompany you then."
Tong Xiyan opened her eyes and nodded towards Tong Xihua.
Lady frowned deeply, and Tong Xihua, holding her arm, persuaded her at the door, "Sixth Sister has always been well-behaved. We can entrust Fourth Sister to her; she wouldn't dare have any other notions. If anything were to happen to Fourth Sister, she wouldn't be able to bear the responsibility. Please rest assured, Mother. If it really comes to it, don't I still have to be there!"
Lady did not speak, which counted as acquiescence.
