Chapter 214

Madam Qian was expected to give birth after the New Year, which was one of the reasons Song Jiyun dared to go to Nanjing.

Unexpectedly, Madam Qian went into labor early.

Fortunately, both the midwife and the doctor had already been arranged for, and all that was needed was to send someone to fetch them in advance.

Nanny Zheng calmly and collectedly directed the maids and servant boys, sending for the doctor and the midwife, boiling water, and fetching ginseng slices. Despite the bustle, there was an orderly and methodical air to the chaos.

Yuan Yunzhong thought for a moment, then went to join Madam Qian as well.

However, he didn't enter the yard but waited outside with Steward Wu.

Soon, snowflakes began to drift from the sky.

Song Jiyu and Song Jixue hurried over upon hearing the news.

The two young misses huddled under an umbrella, shivering like quails, eliciting a surge of pity from those who saw them.
