Without waiting for Xiqiu to speak, she sighed deeply: "However, this flower tea is still best made at home. The tea I usually drink is made by Qiuniang..." Then she turned the topic and asked Xiqiu: "Surely Fourth Sister-in-law has heard about Elder Sister-in-law planning to build a flower house in the mansion?"
Xiqiu just nodded, waiting for the Fifth Madam to continue speaking.
The Fifth Madam continued: "Fourth Sister-in-law knows about the flower house being planned, but does she know there are hidden matters involved?!"
Hidden matters? Xiqiu lowered her head and slowly took a sip of tea, showing no curiosity but instead instructed Chunyan: "Go wrap some Yang Mei Preserves for Fifth Madam." Chunyan responded and went out.
