Lady shook her head, sighed with a regretful expression, "You don't understand!" She said, "That day the Countess had her eyes on you, and even said she wanted to ask me for you to become her third daughter-in-law, but after that incident, she changed her mind and chose your third sister instead."
Xiqiu raised her head in surprise, incredulously asking, "She fancied me?"
Lady nodded, "Yes! But it's too late to talk about it now." She tapped Xiqiu's forehead with disappointment, "Child, you have a bad fortune too!"
Xiqiu was stunned, gripping her handkerchief tightly, her face looking uncomfortable!
Lady took a sip of tea with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes, "However, I still need to discuss this marriage proposal with your father, it hasn't been settled yet!"
Xiqiu said nothing, as if she was lost in endless regret and remorse, sitting silently on the embroidered stool, oblivious until the other three young ladies came in and she continued to stare blankly.
