Just as Xiao'er was about to finish writing the gift list for the servants of the mansion, Zijing rushed in: "Miss, the Madam is about to give birth."

Upon hearing this, Xiao'er quickly dropped her pen and stood up: "Did you call the midwife?"

"Yes! I summoned the midwife first and then came to you."

"I'll go and see!" Xiao'er hurriedly ran out.

Xiao'er was right. Zijing had called for the midwife first and then came to get Xiao'er. By the time Xiao'er got to Mrs. Liu's yard, the cry of a baby was just coming from inside.

Jingrui and Jinghao had also just arrived. The three siblings looked at one another, each seeing the same words in the others' eyes: "Was the baby born already? That was quick!"
