She sat in the chair with an angry expression, her fingers shaking rapidly as she held the teacup. As Xiqiu looked at her, she suddenly remembered the day when Xiao Yanji's body was brought back to the mansion. The First Madam was the same, sitting quietly without crying or speaking, as if she were a soulless body.
She clenched her fist tightly and said to the First Madam, "Sister-in-law, rest early. If there is any news, I will send someone to inform you." With that, she stepped out of the main room.
Ziyang stood foolishly in the middle of the courtyard. When she saw Xiqiu coming out, she lost her way and followed behind Xiqiu as they left the courtyard.
Xiqiu didn't even look at her and quickly returned to the courtyard.
After Xiqiu left, the First Madam called for her nanny and coldly instructed, "Call everyone in the courtyard here, I want to interrogate them one by one!" After a pause, she continued, "Take me to Zijuan's room!"
