Fourth Master Xiao said: "There was no chance to see him." He glanced at Xiqiu again: "However, I have spoken with my father-in-law, and I'm sure he will take extra care." Cabinet discussions naturally offer more opportunities than Fourth Master Xiao.
With First Master Tong, the Grand Dowager was slightly relieved.
Because Fourth Master Xiao had to enter the palace early the next morning, Xiqiu and Fourth Master Xiao returned to the Governor Mansion early, helping him wash up to let him rest a while longer. Fourth Master Xiao held her hand and sat her down, his complexion unusually serious. Xiqiu was taken aback and composed herself, her heart tightened.
Fourth Master Xiao held her hand, his voice somewhat apologetic: "Could you wait a little longer for your wish?"
