Madam Xia listened, feeling both surprised and joyful yet worried: "Moving out and being your own master without looking at anyone's face or paying respects is certainly the best, but living independently is different from living with a big family; you must consider everything carefully, like handling the gifts and interactions with other mansions. You cannot exceed the Marquis Mansion, nor can you neglect it. Balancing these things is not easy."
Madam Xia's considerations were reasonable. After moving out and becoming independent with Fourth Master Xiao, when interacting with other mansions for weddings and funerals, they must send gifts independently. The gift cannot surpass what the main house offers, nor be too low, or it would lose face for the new mansion. Balancing this is indeed a skill!
