Xiqiu's eyes fell on that cup of tea. Listening to Lady speak, she slightly raised her brows. This was the first time Lady had inquired about her leg. After thinking for a moment, she said, "It's much better now, it doesn't hurt much anymore."
Lady nodded, "As long as your leg is better." She then recalled that it was because of Xiqiu's leg ailment that Xiao Yanyi had invited the Imperial Physician to treat her, which subsequently led to Tong Xihua's series of illnesses and eventual death. A pang of acidity arose in her heart, accompanied by a surge of anger. She turned her eyes away and said to Xiqiu, "From now on, you don't need to come for daily greetings. Avoid seeing too many people, just stay in your room and embroider your wedding dress."
Xiqiu lowered her face, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her cheeks. She gently murmured, "I understand, Mother." Lady nodded satisfactorily, "You may leave, I have something to discuss with your elder brother."
