Many young ladies knew that the Xie family used to be bandits. However, they knew nothing much about their other private matters.
Now that they heard the family was poor, their curiosity was piqued.
"Look at that girl, Xie Xi. She's a fourth-grade official's family's young mistress, but she does things that a maid does. It must be that the family is too poor, right?"
"That doesn't make sense. That Master Xie is a general, after all. I heard he obtained many rewards when he fought the barbarians back then. Even without those, his salary would be quite high as a fourth-grade official, right?" The rest could not believe that.
The young lady asked, "Do your families only depend on your father and brothers to support the family?"
The rest naturally shook their heads when they heard that.
They had many servants at home. It would be insufficient to depend on their father and brothers' salaries.
