The next day.
Early in the morning, Mrs. Wang was cornered by Mrs. Xie.
"Sister-in-law, has Xixi returned?" Mrs. Xie asked excitedly.
Last night, she wanted to prepare some supper, and her maid inadvertently learned that a cubilose was ordered by Madam to be delivered to the West Garden, and it was of imperial quality.
The West Garden was a courtyard prepared for Qin Liuxi, except a mute girl guarding it, the rightful owner had not returned for several years. Now, suddenly, a supper was to be sent there, it could only mean Qin Liuxi had returned.
She also sent someone to inquire in the West Garden, the courtyard was very quiet, but the mute girl was very happy.
All sorts of guesses pointed to one possibility, the long-absent Qin Liuxi had finally appeared.
Mrs. Wang said blandly, "Isn't it, don't you know?"
Mrs. Xie exclaimed, "The child has finally returned; I'll go get Xinxin to say hello to her big sister."
She hurried away.
