Chapter 263: Fetal Movement

The rain was coming down harder now.

Nanny Li couldn't bear to let the young mistress venture out in such weather, but upon hearing that Madam Wang had experienced fetal distress, she knew this trip was inevitable.

The young mistress held grudges and gratitude alike with clarity—those who treated her sincerely, she repaid tenfold, even a hundredfold.

"Put on the cloak. It'll keep the chill away on the road."

Nanny Li handed over a thick cloak, intending to drape it over Meng Qianqian's shoulders.

Meng Qianqian chuckled, half exasperated: "Nanny, it isn't winter yet."

Nanny Li insisted, "Have you forgotten how sick you got last time?"

At those words, Meng Qianqian suddenly remembered.

It was during the Governor Mansion's grab-the-item banquet for the little one. Lu Lingxiao had left her alone in the carriage, where she not only got drenched but also chilled to the bone. It was a long wet ride back as well.
