Xiqiu understood the implication of First Young Madam Tang's words. It wasn't necessarily that Lord Tang wanted to return, but rather he disagreed with First Master Tang selling the ancestral property. She didn't speak, just looked at First Young Madam Tang, who sighed and said, "I took some free time today to discuss this with Aunt, but who would've thought she disagrees as well," looking utterly helpless.
The concerns of First Young Madam Tang and First Master Tang were reasonable. That side is unstable right now, and since they're people with land holdings, if something happens in Wei Hui, a family of merit like theirs would be the first to suffer. A minor mishap might be bearable, but they're afraid the Emperor might have other plans, thus causing them unnecessary trouble.
