"Hurry and get the doctor!" Xiqiu turned to instruct Daiju: "And also help me bring a basin of clean water!"
"Oh!" Daiju absentmindedly went out, gathered water with Chunliu, and brought it back in. She quickly went to the second courtyard to fetch the doctor while Xiqiu wiped Tong Xiyan's face with cold water, finally bringing some clarity to her eyes. Yet, she still sat there wordlessly, staring at something for what seemed like ages.
Daiju returned shortly, and Xiqiu asked, "Was the doctor called?" Daiju nodded and shook her head, saying, "Nanny Fang just sent someone; they said Lady just vomited blood and fainted!" She spoke with a face full of despair: "...Lady smashed the teapot on Young Master Zhou's head."
Xiqiu was stunned. Despite Lady being unable to speak or move, she managed to grab a teapot and break it on Young Master Zhou's head. It seemed this marriage proposal was inevitable to withdraw. She looked at the dazed Tong Xiyan and let out a heavy sigh!
