An hour later at Old master Tong's side hall.
"Master, the seventh young miss is now awake" the Tong family steward uncle Yi reported.
"Xiao Yao is awake" Old madam Tong shouted from her seat at her husband right. She sat surrounded by her three daughters-in-law who fanned her face gently and dabbed away the sweat running down her face. She had rushed back to the mansion from the temple as soon as she was informed of the situation.
Old madam Tong was a dedicated Buddhist, she had turned to Buddhism after losing her two daughters and spent most of her time at the temple. Although she wasn't always at home she had been informed of everything that happens. Old master Tong had sent word to her the day Chen Yao arrived at Tong mansion. She had arrived a few minutes later and after he had introduced her to Chen Yao.
