Xiqiu recounted everything that happened at Puji Temple to Madam Xia. Madam Xia was incredulous: "So, it was the young master who saved you?" Xiqiu nodded. Madam Xia suddenly stood up. No wonder Fourth Master Xiao came to the Tong Mansion to propose without any reason. She really thought the Grand Dowager felt guilty toward the Tong Mansion, so since the marriage for the Marquis was not successful, they let Fourth Master Xiao marry a young lady from the Tong family to compensate the Marquis Mansion's regret.
It turned out not to be the case at all. She turned to Xiqiu and said, "So, you're saying he developed these intentions after that incident?" Considering the timeline, he was not in the Capital for long, only returning after the New Year, and shortly after returning, he came to propose. That means the young master must have taken a liking to Sixth Miss back at Puji Temple.
