In the pouring rain, the servant girl beside Princess Fu Lu passed on the news that Princess Fu Lu had already given birth.
Qiao lui looked at Old Madam Qiao and Zheng Xiao and said, “Grandmother, mother, Xiang Xiang is about to give birth. I’ll go back first.”
Old Madam Qiao said, “It’s windy and rainy on the road. Be careful. Xiao'er, you should go with her. It’s the princess’first time giving birth. It’s hard not to be afraid.”
Zheng Xiao agreed and rushed back to Fu Lu’s courtyard with Qiao Lui.
Old Madam Qiao pressed her palms together towards the ancestral tablets and prayed for the safety of Princess Fu Lu and her son.
Qiao ruoi followed the rules set by the clan leader at the side. When she was offering incense to her ancestors, she felt extremely uneasy when she heard the sounds of thunder, wind, and rain outside.
The weather was like this again when Princess Fu Lu was about to give birth. After Qiao Ruoi finished offering incense, she rushed to Qiao Lui’s courtyard.
