She squinted her eyes slightly and then turned to Tong Shen Zhi, saying, "Shen Zhi, see the two gentlemen out."
After the people left, Tong Xiyan couldn't hold back any longer. Holding Xiqiu, he began to cry loudly. The First Lady frowned as she watched and instructed someone to pull Tong Xiyan up, then addressed everyone, "The Sixth Miss is not feeling well. All your crying will disturb her. Disperse, all of you!"
No one dared to protest. They lowered their faces, wiped their tears, and quieted down. The First Lady had someone support Tong Xiyan and Tong Xiyu back. Xi'er followed and closed the courtyard door, then turned to ask Chunliu, "Sister Chunliu, what exactly happened to the Miss? How could she suddenly fall ill and get injured?" She paused before continuing, "I heard the temple caught fire. How did it happen?"
