The thick curtains were hung up, and beads of sweat rolled down Nanny Fang's forehead.
Wiping her sweat, feeling increasingly uncomfortable due to the heat, she looked at Second Madam and said, "Commandery Princess, why do you trouble yourself so? It's terribly hot, and you've lit a stove. If the heat causes harm, what will become of you?"
"I'm aware of my limits." Second Madam gestured for Nanny Fang to sit down on a chair and had Zijuan pour her a cup of iced tea. "Take a sip and rest a bit." She then turned to Zijuan and said, "Take the stove out first."
Zijuan complied, opened a crack in the window, and carried the stove out.
Nanny Fang finally felt a little better. Second Madam looked at her and asked, "How is Grandmother's health? Is my nephew doing well? And how is Sister-in-law?" A string of questions, with Second Madam urgently looking at Nanny Fang.
