Nanny Liu suddenly realized her breach of etiquette, bowed slightly, and sat on a chair to the side. Though she sat, only a small portion of her behind touched the edge.
She lifted her head, looked at Madam Zhou, and her gaze fell on Madam Zhou's prominent belly. Her eyes narrowed; the belly was small and pointed, suggesting it was likely a male infant.
Madam Zhou instinctively touched her belly and asked, "May I ask, Nanny, does the Old Madam have any instructions?"
"I wouldn't call it instructions." Nanny Liu tugged at the corner of her mouth and said, "The Old Madam learned of you and your child's existence and sent me to bring you some supplements. The Old Madam said they are all Wu family blood, and she would not disregard them."
"Nanny, mind your words!" Madam Zhou's complexion changed suddenly, "The Old Madam is considerate, but I dare not accept this gift, nor do I dare to bear the title of 'maternal aunt' from your mouth. Nanny Cheng, see the guest out."
