At noon, Nanny Cen still had not returned, and Xiqiu grew increasingly anxious.
"Go fetch a sedan chair for me!" Xiqiu was restless and grabbed Chunliu, saying, "I need to go back and check."
Chunliu was startled, and held onto her, saying, "Nanny Cen told me before she left that you absolutely cannot go, madam. You're currently pregnant, and not to mention the bumpiness of the carriage ride, things are very chaotic over there right now. If one of the maids or servants loses their composure and clashes with you, it would be disastrous. Besides, the birthing room is the most dangerous place; you mustn't go!"
Xiqiu dismissed these concerns, waving her hand and saying, "If I don't go back to take a look, how can my heart be at ease?" She paused, "I'll be careful myself. Besides, aren't you all still with me?"
