By the time they had discussed it this far, the people in the inner chamber had once again been stunned into silence. For a time, only the faint rustling of the spirit plants outside the window could be heard.
After quite a while, Lady Wang finally recovered and suddenly suggested:
"Since... since Daiyu and the others have already settled in, why don't we send someone over to see how they're doing first?"
"See what she's lacking, what she's short on, what she needs."
"Then we can send it over to her from the manor?"
"After all, their old courtyard has everything already. It's all readily available, so why not simply have someone deliver it to them?"
As she spoke, her gaze instinctively turned to Wang Xifeng, signaling to her repeatedly with her eyes.
In her view, Wang Xifeng was skilled at handling people and affairs, and she was also one of the manor's managers. She had gotten along reasonably well with Daiyu and the others in the past, so she seemed the most suitable person for the task.
"!!"
Yet upon sensing Lady Wang's gaze, the usually sharp-tongued, quick-witted, tactful, and opportunistic "Fiery Phoenix" hurriedly lowered her head, staring at her own toes without saying a word. She had no desire to respond to Lady Wang's overt and covert hints.
"..."
Lady Wang waited for a moment. Seeing that Wang Xifeng remained unresponsive, she could not help clearing her throat.
"Ahem!"
"Feng, what do you say?"
There were not many people in this household whom Lady Wang could still command, nor did she have many capable subordinates left. Wang Xifeng, her niece from the Wang family, was naturally one of the few people she could still order about.
So, she simply called her out directly.
"!!"
