The door curtain fell once again, separating Xiqiu and Tong Xiyu from inside. Tong Xiyu nervously looked at Xiqiu, as if asking whether they should follow inside or stay outside!
Xiqiu wished she could vanish instantly, disregarding the hesitant Tong Xiyu standing at the door, and turned to step outside, closing the door behind her. Tong Xiyu immediately followed her out, and Xiqiu shut the main door. Turning around, she saw Nanny Lin's eyes, filled with a mocking anger.
Xiqiu smiled at her slightly, descended the steps, crossed the courtyard, and sat on the rose-red armchair in the passageway.
Nanny Lin looked at Xiqiu in surprise, as if she had never known her before. Xiqiu ignored her reaction, and from inside the room came the sound of porcelain shattering, followed by Tong Xihua's furious voice: "You accuse me of making something out of nothing, turning black into white? Who is truly turning black into white today?"
