"Is it almost time?" Xiao Hen asked.
Princess Xinyang looked down at her belly and sighed, "It should have been long ago, but she just won't come out."
Ten days past the expected due date, and the doctor comes to check the pulse daily; the pulse is still normal.
Xiao Hen probably understood why the aunt didn't mention his brother to his mother; this pregnancy had been difficult for her, and if she rushed over to find Shangguan Qing, the jostling on the journey could lead to tragedy.
People often take a long time to digest bad news but can quickly adapt to good news.
For Xiao Hen and Shangguan Qing, this soon-to-be sibling would be like gaining a little brother or sister, while for Princess Xinyang, it was the return of a lost son.
Xiao Hen knew that the two had much to discuss, so he stood up and said to Yujin, "Aunt Yujin, there are still some things in the carriage."
Yujin understood, smiled, and said, "Alright, I'll call someone to move them."
