Bab 993: Chapter 996: Never Forget Our Roots

As October arrived, Qiao Duo'er seldom ventured out aside from her walks, spending the rest of her time in the courtyard, basking in the sun and reading books.

Even so, she still ended up exhausted every day.

Feeling helpless about this, Qiao Duo'er could only look forward to the little one's early arrival.

On this day, the weather was bad, so Duo'er stayed in her room.

Before long, Qing Xin came rushing in, "Madam, it's terrible, King Qin has arrived, what should we do?"

Just the thought of his stern face sent shivers down her spine.

"He doesn't eat people. You all entertain him first; I'll get ready and go out."

Qiao Duo'er got up from the couch without any hurry.

King Qin was an important guest; she couldn't receive him looking unkempt.

Qing Xin immediately shook her head, "No, absolutely not, let me help you with your hair instead."
