Xin He threw a cold glance over everyone present before calmly asking Madam Chen, "Tell me what happened."
As she spoke, she casually sat down by the round table in the room. Madam Chen instantly signaled the little maids to bring up a cup of cold tea to soothe Ji Xinhe's temper before reluctantly starting:
"Yesterday evening, Yihong Courtyard suddenly introduced a group of new girls, much like our own here at Huamanlou."
Xin He responded, "I heard about it, but haven't had the chance to visit Yihong Courtyard personally. Madam Chen, can you describe the situation there in detail?"
