During the New Year, the two residences of Xiqiu were busy. When it was the second day of the New Year and they returned to Tong Mansion to pay respects, they heard about the matter regarding Lord Han's concubine.
After a moment of surprise, she asked in astonishment, "The Han family's concubine passed away?"
"Yes." Madam Jiang held a cup of tea, neither relieved nor appearing sorrowful: "I heard she had been sick for some days. On New Year's Eve, Madam Han found out she was pregnant, and that night, the concubine departed."
