Qin Yuan shook her head.

Looking at the hourglass, Qin Yuan asked, "Has Xiao Dong gone back?"

The red leaves nodded.

Hongmian said, "When Madam was asleep just now, Xiaodong came to pay his respects. Knowing that Madam was asleep, he didn't come in. The two young masters of the Qin family also sent word that they wouldn't be coming to see you, as they had to rush back to the Imperial Academy later."

Qin Yuan nodded, indicating that she understood.

"Xiao Dong said that Brother Qi is almost better. In two more days, he'll be able to walk around freely, but he'll still need to recuperate. His mother's eyes can also be saved..."

Hongye thought for a moment and then asked, "Do Brother Qi and the others still live in the manor?"

They were allowed to live in the small courtyard initially to make it easier to take care of Brother Qi, which was not appropriate in principle. Now that the mansion has been opened and Brother Qi's illness is almost cured, Hongye is not sure how to arrange things.

Qin Yuan said, "Let them continue to live here in peace."

When you bestow kindness, you should do so fully.

We've already spent a thousand taels of silver to get someone's eyes checked, so why bother with this courtyard?

Hongye said, "That's what I think too, but their courtyard is in the inner courtyard after all... Young Master Qi is not quite grown up yet, so I always feel a little awkward, and I'm also worried about people gossiping."

Qin Yuan was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Tell me the truth, what did you hear?"

Hongye said, "Doesn't Sixth Master still have so many concubines? When Sixth Master was enfeoffed, he always lived in the outer courtyard. Now that he has his own residence, he still lives in the outer courtyard and hasn't been to anyone's courtyard. It's alright for the concubines who have children, but those who don't have children are a bit restless and wander around the inner courtyard. Besides, Seventh Miss will be leaving the courtyard soon..."
