Fourth Master Xiao turned back to glance at her, nodded, and entered the room first.
Xiqiu entered Biwu's room. Biwu, who was alone in the room, was holding a plate of candied fruits and eating melon seeds. Seeing Xiqiu come in, she quickly put down the plate and came over to greet her with a smile, saying, "Madame is back." She then led Xiqiu to sit on the kang and asked, "Does Madame have something to say to me?"
"Yes, I have something to tell you." Xiqiu's face was solemn.
Biwu's heart skipped a beat, and she straightened up, looking seriously at Xiqiu.
Xiqiu continued, "Tomorrow morning, you and Ziyang go to the Grand Dowager's room and say that everyone would like to gather for the New Year, and invite Treasure Bead over." She paused and added, "Remember, don't alarm anyone else."
"I understand." Although Biwu did not know what was happening, she sensed the gravity of the situation.
After giving a few more instructions, Xiqiu got up and returned to her room.
