"A preterm child," Mrs. Qiu was startled, but she composed herself and asked, "Can this also be discerned from the pulse?"
"Your pulse is deep, fine, and weak, not vigorous. This is not only caused by postnatal ailments but also congenital ones. A child born prematurely is indeed inferior to one born full-term by a margin. Without careful conditioning, it would be even more frail," Qin Liuxi explained. "You are a person blessed with good fortune later in life, having started from scratch with a good man, and lacking nothing in terms of fine sustenance. If it were not so, and you still lived as impoverished and toiling as before, your body would not only find it difficult to conceive – it would likely be wracked with illness, languishing in bed."
Mrs. Qiu subconsciously looked towards the man beside her, her eyes filled with warmth.
Landlord Qiu patted her hand for comfort.
