The room was left with only Xiqiu and Tong Xiyan.
Tong Xiyan squeezed next to Xiqiu, half-hugging Xiqiu's arm, resting her head on Xiqiu's shoulder and said in a hoarse voice, "Sixth Sister, do you think the thing I insisted on doing at the time was wrong?"
"What happened? Did Brother-in-law Jiang bully you?" Xiqiu was startled, wondering how Tong Xiyan could say such pessimistic things.
Tong Xiyan closed her eyes and didn't look up, buried in Xiqiu's shoulder. Xiqiu could feel the thin summer shirt on her shoulder getting wet. She patted Tong Xiyan's back, not asking the reason, just sitting quietly with her.
After a long while, Tong Xiyan finally raised her head and wiped her tears, slowly saying, "My husband... has taken another concubine."
What does she mean by another? She had never asked about Jiang Shilin's affairs. Didn't Tong Xiyan imply that there were already several concubines in the house?
