"Let me out! I want to see my mother!"
Xu Qingxi felt anxious and flustered.
After staying for three days, I finally couldn't stand it anymore.
The maids and old women exchanged glances. One of them, an old woman with a long face, said coldly, "Seventh Miss, Madam has ordered that you are not allowed to step out of this courtyard."

I've already married into the Wang family and am now the third young mistress of the Wang family, not the seventh young lady of the Xu Muer family.

As for her other two sisters, Xu Lianxi and Xu Xingxi, who were already married and mothers, Xie sent someone to their husbands' homes to inform them that their lives there were not easy either.
