The concubine was taken aback, but quickly understood the meaning of the Lady: "You've decided on Eighth Girl?" The Lady nodded and said, "I share the same intention as Xihua. Eighth Girl is young, and for the next three to five years, she cannot consummate the marriage, allowing her to fully focus on taking care of Xing. With her keeping watch at the Marquis Mansion, I can have some peace of mind!"
The concubine furrowed her brows, clutching the Lady's hand: "And is the Marquis Mansion agreeable to this?" The Lady shook her head: "Lately, I have been preoccupied with Xihua's affairs in the afterlife, with no time to discuss these matters. We must wait until after Xihua's remains are buried, then I'll bring it up with the Grand Dowager." At the thought of her own daughter dying with grievances and having others enjoy the wealth and prosperity she left behind, the Lady felt as though a thorn was lodged in her throat, even the mere thought filled her with discomfort!
