Xiqiu lowered her eyes and accepted the incense, kneeling side by side with Fourth Master Xiao on the prayer mat. Paying their respects, Xiqiu glanced at the relatively new tablets in the front row. One bore the inscription "Memorial to the Late Master Xiao Ningzhen," presumably that of the Old Marquis. Quickly, she scanned the adjacent ones…
The two newly placed tablets beside it belonged to Xiao Yanji and Tong Xihua. The Grand Dowager's eyes welled up with tears, and Xiao Yanzheng assisted her as she wiped her eyes.
There was no tablet for Third Master Xiao.
While Xiqiu was internally puzzled, Xiao Yanyi had already composedly added "Mrs. Xiao Tong" next to Fourth Master Xiao's name in the family register with a goat hair brush. Below, a new name was added, Xiao Huaimin... It seems that in the Xiao Family, Min's generation is named with the character "Hua."
