Deep into the night, Su Peisheng called out to Fourth Master from outside.
Fourth Master opened his eyes, still holding Ye Zao in his arms, so he moved much more gently.
"What is it?"
Fourth Master was not too pleased—it would be strange to be happy about being woken up.
"My lord, Lady Xu has gone into labor!" Su Peisheng hurriedly reported.
Fourth Master was stunned for a moment before he understood who he was referring to; it was mostly the labor part that gave it away—if it were just the name Lady Xu, Fourth Master might not have recalled.
"Is everything prepared?" Fourth Master asked.
"To answer my lord, it was all prepared in advance, and Fujin has also hurried over," Su Peisheng replied.
Fourth Master hummed in affirmation, "Then I won't go over there; I'll wait at the main courtyard."
Su Peisheng responded affirmatively, which was quite normal; a concubine giving birth did not require the Master to be close by.
