"Nurse Xu, why hasn't the Empress Dowager returned? It's been so many days, could something have happened?" Xixi knew it was wrong to ask such a question, but she couldn't help the worry in her heart.
"Nonsense, you're speaking without restraint again. Her Ladyship is kind and compassionate and is blessed by the gods. She is a person of great fortune, and nothing will happen to her. Perhaps she has been delayed by some matter, which is why she is late. Let's wait patiently and keep the household in order for her." Nurse Xu, although worried herself, was calmer than Xixi. Being from an older generation, she least tolerated such taboo talk, so she scolded Xixi the moment she raised the concern.
