When Widow Xie heard the vagrant's cast was off, she rushed to Ji Huan's house to ask about the situation.
Hearing from Ji Huan that he couldn't walk just yet, she grew a little anxious.
"That's a real rich man's injury he's got there. A pain to treat and takes forever to heal."
Ji Huan knew she was hoping the vagrant would leave because she was afraid he would bring gossip and trouble upon her.
"Well, since I've already gotten involved, I can't just drop it halfway, right?"
"How could I say no?"
Widow Xie sighed. Just as she was about to leave, she slapped her thigh.
"Ji the Fourth came back a couple of days ago. You didn't know, did you?"
'Ji the Fourth is back?'
'Does that mean Song Jing is back too?'
Ji Huan was startled by her own initial reaction, but she didn't let it show on her face.
