Xiqiu covered her face with a smile and said, "Master told me to come because she was worried you might be concerned, so she sent me to put your mind at ease." After a pause, she continued, "She also said that after the full moon, she would come to the mansion to chant prayers for the young master."
The two chatted for a while longer before Siliu rose to take her leave. "I'll come again in a few days. I'll sort out everything at home these days so that when you go into labor, I can serve you." Xiqiu was taken aback and waved her hand, saying, "No need, you should stay at home with your two children. I have plenty of people here!"
"That won't do." Siliu smiled and looked at Bihuai, saying, "How can they compare with me? I've given birth before and have experience."
Bihuai blushed, but Xiqiu shook her head with a helpless smile, asking Bihuai to see Siliu out. After Siliu left, Bihuai lifted the curtain again and came in to inform Xiqiu, "Madam Shen is here."
