The Grand Dowager and the First Madam sat together in the Warm Pavilion, and the Grand Dowager asked with a smile, "How's the new daughter-in-law? Is everything alright?"
"Quite good." Xiqiu smiled, thinking of Mrs. Chen's appearance. She didn't have high expectations for her sister-in-law, maybe that's why she felt quite satisfied. After a few days of observations and listening to Liufu talk about her actions in the mansion, Xiqiu found her to be a clever person, who cautiously keeps everything in balance, neither too much nor too little.
For someone like her, I don't expect her to be too partial towards the Tong Family; but I never expected her to be. As long as she's smart enough to know when to advance and retreat, and realizes who's the reliable one for her future, it'll be fine.
As for her feelings towards Tong Minzhi, humans aren't unfeeling; couples bound together will naturally grow closer with time.
