"Exactly, exactly, Mother is right," Ye Hongyang nodded repeatedly. Having dealt with those two wild boys, he eased his mind substantially, only then remembering bits and pieces of conversation he overheard yesterday while accompanying that down-and-out boxer.
At the time, he felt impatient and not only engaged little in the conversation, but also did little to listen to what they were saying. Now, with his burden somewhat lifted, he recalled they had mentioned a few times the person traveling with Ye Xinyan, whom they addressed as Sixth Master. From what he heard, that person must hold some sort of status.
Ye Hongyang asked the Duchess, "Father was speaking with Righteous Guan yesterday, and he mentioned the Sixth Master, saying that Xinyan came back with the Sixth Master. Who is this person? Xinyan's travel companions were all female relatives. Isn't it a bit improper for this man to travel with them, somewhat lacking in decorum?"
