Uncle Liang advised, "Grandma is also right—Zhaozhao's illness has just recovered, and his body is still not robust enough. It wouldn't be suitable for him to engage with women right away. He needs more time to recuperate... As for the sister-in-law, perhaps she truly did not mean any harm. Harmony within the family brings prosperity to everything..."
The couple went on and on inside the room, and the maidservant dared not enter, let alone risk displeasure for the sake of a village girl. Thus, not a single person went in to report.
Qian Yixiu waited outside the door for over half an hour. The sun was nearly at its zenith, and she saw no one come out to invite her in.
The gatekeeper, always eyeing for advantage, but having received benefits from Qian Yixiu, did not want to let her wait foolishly any longer. He said politely, "Miss Qian, please go back. Perhaps Grandma Liang is busy and has no time to see you today. You can come again another day."
