After sending off Yun Shisan, Xu Jia got up to go to Furong Courtyard to see Mrs. Xu.
Beside Mrs. Xu was a stack of account books. She did not look at them, her eyes closed, as a maid gently massaged her from behind.
After Xu Jia came in, she didn't make a sound, exchanged a glance with the maid, gesturing for her to leave, and then stood behind Mrs. Xu to continue the massage.
Mrs. Xu praised, "The strength is good, much improved from before."
"If mother feels comfortable, how about I give you a massage every day?"
Hearing Xu Jia's voice, Mrs. Xu quickly turned her head and saw her daughter's smiling face.
"Jia'er, why are you here?" Mrs. Xu glanced at her, "Don't even announce yourself, like a thief."
"Why pay so much attention to etiquette at home?" Xu Jia continued her actions as she spoke, deliberately asking, "Or does mother already consider me an outsider?"
