Fourth Madam Xiao experienced extreme difficulties during both of her childbirths. Although there was no real danger, her vitality was greatly impaired. Her health not only failed to recover but deteriorated day by day, until rumors of her critical illness began to circulate.
Those who heard couldn't help but feel regret, and praised Grand Commander Xiao endlessly. He stayed by her bedside all day, personally serving her tea and water, showing meticulous care without any rest.
Despite this, Fourth Madam's condition worsened daily, causing everyone to shake their heads and sigh.
Xiqiu lay in bed while Chunliu and the others came and went with bitter faces, aimlessly standing in the yard with water and medicine, and even low sobbing could be heard from the courtyard.
The air of despair emanating from the Governor Mansion seemed palpable throughout the entire Capital.
