Caixia and Liufu were taken aback, looking at Xiqiu who had arrived unexpectedly. Xiqiu asked, "Is the Seventh Young Master here?"
Caixia nodded, "He is, he is." Xiqiu said to Liufu, "Go make me a cup of tea. I want to have a word with the Seventh Young Master. You two stay in the courtyard and don't let anyone come in."
Liufu and Caixia exchanged a glance, nodding anxiously.
"Sixth Sister." Tong Minzhi heard the noise outside and ran out of the room, wearing a sea-blue pattern robe. His appearance had transformed from the playful child in her memory to a tall and handsome young man, now at the age for discussing marriage. The sudden passage of time bewildered her.
"Sister, what's wrong?" Tong Minzhi walked over and looked at Xiqiu, "Has something happened?"
Xiqiu returned to her senses, smiling and shaking her head, "Nothing, I just have something I want to talk to you about." Tong Minzhi nodded, "Then let's go inside to talk." He turned to Liufu, "Make tea for the Sixth Lady."
