"Young Master Hong is dead?" Xiqiu was startled and also sat up from the bed, frowning as she asked Sixing, "Did they say how he died?"
"They said he died in a drunken state at home, and his body was only discovered this morning, already stiff." So, it was an accidental death?! Xiqiu appeared very surprised. She had just discussed the matter of an evil ghost with Master, and coincidentally, the man was now dead?!
Sixing also looked a bit frightened, "Miss, could what Master said about the evil ghost be true?" Even she started questioning the reality of the situation; it was too coincidental to be merely an accident.
Xiqiu glanced at her, "Stop letting your imagination run wild." As she spoke, she leaned back against the pillow again, her fingers lightly touching the worn cover of the "Great Zhou Geography." She said to Sixing, "How is Lady over there? Did the concubine come?"
