Xiqiu changed her clothes and greeted the Grand Dowager, then left the house with Bihuai, Biwu, and Nanny Qiu.
Inside the side door, the Tong Mansion's carriage was waiting at the side. Nanny Qiu supported Xiqiu and said, "First Young Madam is waiting for you inside."
Xiqiu nodded, stepped onto the footstool, and boarded the carriage. Inside, Madam Jiang was indeed sitting there, wearing a crimson silk overcoat with double golden borders, wide and large. After becoming pregnant, she hadn't gained weight but seemed a bit thinner than before. Sitting at the back of the carriage, besides her round belly, she could hardly be seen.
"Sixth Lady." Madam Jiang reached out to help Xiqiu sit beside her, a little embarrassed, and said, "Always troubling you."
Xiqiu knew that there was really no one at home to help her, and if her body were better, it wouldn't be a problem, but now she was also pregnant, feeling somewhat powerless.
