Xiqiu replied: "The Imperial Supervision Office has already intervened, this matter is no longer just the Imperial Censor's impeachment; I fear it will be thoroughly investigated."
Madam Lou nodded in agreement.
Tong Xiyu paused with the teapot in her hands, silently returned to her seat, and her expression was somewhat unsightly.
Madam Lou sat for a while longer, discussed with Madam Jiang about setting a date for the auspicious ceremony, and then excused herself with the matchmaker to return to the mansion.
Xiqiu turned to speak with Tong Xiyu: "The date is set for next year, and there isn't much time left. I fear Eighth Sister will be quite busy." Tong Xiyu lowered her head, her face blushing, and said, "I've caused Sixth Sister to worry about my affairs."
"No need to be so polite," Xiqiu said blandly, then added, "I'm going to visit Sister-in-law." With that, she took Bihuai, Biwu, and Lyuzhi to Madam Jiang's room.
