Xiqiu nodded and replied, "Second Sister-in-law, walk slowly!"
The Grand Dowager ordered Nanny Wu to escort the Second Madam back.
First Madam gently persuaded the Grand Dowager: "…He won't wake up immediately; you should rest for a while. Don't fall ill yourself by the time Xing wakes up!"

My heart aches for him, so I've kept him by my side, taking great care to avoid any negligence… He's weaker than other children and eats less, but at least he hasn't suffered any major illnesses…" She pressed a handkerchief to her eyes and continued, "Despite all precautions, such a thing still happened."
