Xiqiu recalled that there was indeed a young lady by the Lotus Pool at that time, but she left from the other side when she saw them coming down.
Unexpectedly, it happened to be Hu Suqing.
Thinking about it, she shook her head with a smile. Back then, the Hu Family's carriage was parked at the mountain gate, so it was understandable for Miss Hu to be there at that time.
"That day was my elder sister's memorial day. My mother and I lit a Long-lasting Lamp for her at Puji Temple and performed rites. Feeling saddened, I went to sit for a while at the back of the mountain." As if explaining, Hu Suqing added, "Fourth Master was waiting at the foot of the mountain at that time, and my mother was anxious, urging me to hurry down."
After slowly finishing, Hu Suqing seemed to suddenly realize she might have misspoken and spoke somewhat embarrassingly, "I'm sorry for talking about these matters to Lady!"
