It seems that Second Master's academy has grown quite large, with many officials from Baoding in the court.
Second Lady was talking to her, but her gaze kept drifting to her grandson running around the yard and then at Biwu who was serving her submissively, a belly full of grievances that she couldn't share with Xiqiu, simply because Biwu was once her maid...
When Tong Quanzi limped in, she finally couldn't hold back her tears.
A good son ended up disabled, and now must marry a maid. Though recognizing Madam Huang as his godmother offered some face-saving, his birth could not be altered.
She was always strong-willed; even though Second Master was demoted and returned to Baoding, there they never bowed their heads to anyone and received respect everywhere. She never expected that her only son would cause such trouble.
