"Don't go back to Mother's place; with me managing things here at home, I'll make sure someone informs you if anything happens," Madam Jiang said worriedly.
Xiqiu nodded. She truly didn't have the time now, and she asked, "How is Father doing? Tomorrow is the thirtieth, and the day after he will take office at the Six Ministries. Are all the preparations complete? Is there anything lacking?"
"Don't worry, everything is ready. It's Xing that I'm worried about. He's been sitting in his room with a sullen face all morning…" She sighed. "Although Xing was born in the Marquis Mansion, he's a child of misfortune."
Who wouldn't agree? Xiqiu also sighed, "Take care of yourself. With Mother sick, the whole family relies on you for management!"
Madam Jiang nodded, and the two sisters-in-law sat opposite each other, both lost for words.
The Second Madam, lying in bed, asked Nanny Li, "How is Zitan? She has suffered this time."
