"Has everyone left?"
"You were only short of grabbing a broom to chase them out. Those young ladies have thin skin; how could they have the nerve to stay?" Qi Huang said with a smile, "But what did they come to see Miss for?"
"They surely didn't come to bond over sisterly affection with me?" Qin Liuxi, while rolling up her sleeves, said, "These sheltered daughters, on ordinary days talk nothing but music, chess, calligraphy, painting, embroidery, or who has the newest jewelry or designs, then follow with various comparisons. If they're not here to compare, they are here for comfort."
"Comfort?" Qi Huang stepped forward to help her with the sleeves, saying, "What comfort could they possibly seek here with Miss? Though you are sisters, you are hardly close."
