Xiqiu and Mrs. placed the record books down with a start, neither speaking for a long time. Eventually, Mrs. stood up from her chair and looked at Xiqiu, saying, "I'm heading back."
"I'll see you out." She and Mrs. walked side by side out of the study, as they reached the walkway, Mrs. stopped and looked at Xiqiu, saying, "You should go back." With that, she left with the maid and servant.
Xiqiu stood in place. Chunliu came out, seeing Xiqiu's unpleasant expression, asked worriedly, "Madam, are you alright?"
"Let's go back." Xiqiu was supported by Chunliu and returned to the study again, where she put back each of the items Mrs. had earlier taken out from the box. She re-locked the box.
