My Lady Always Lacks Ambition

"Mother, big sister is here." Qin Mingbao, seeing Qin Liuxi, first called out into the room then rapidly ran to Qin Liuxi, placing her little hands on her waist and bowed, cooingly saying, "Bao’er greets big sister."

Qin Liuxi smiled and gently ruffled her hair bun, saying, "No need for formalities, why are you here, and not with grandmother?"

"I went to greet grandmother early this morning, came back after asking her well-being; mother said big sister would definitely come, and she didn’t deceive me," Qin Mingbao, looking up at Qin Liuxi, exclaimed, "Big sister is so tall, Bao’er can’t reach you."

Qin Liuxi then bent down and picked her up: "Now you can reach."

Qin Mingbao let out a giggle, shyly laughing, and then sneakily glanced at her, saying, "Big sister is so pretty, and smells nice."

"Your little mouth must be smeared with honey; why is it so sweet?" Qin Liuxi said, holding her and walking inside.

The wet nurse Mrs. Zhou and Ju’er came forward and successively paid their respects to Qin Liuxi, whereas Mrs. Gu, with her head covered, followed behind them, revealing a smile upon seeing Qin Liuxi.

"Third Aunt." Qin Liuxi put down Qin Mingbao and greeted Mrs. Gu, asking, "Why are you up?"

"Now that I have gotten better, I will be able to leave the confinement in a few more days, so I’m walking a bit inside the room; it’s no trouble," Mrs. Gu said and then looking at her daughter, scolded, "You girl, why are you clinging to your big sister and making her hold you, not afraid of tiring your big sister?"

"Do not blame her; I wanted to hold her, and she’s not heavy," Qin Liuxi responded, "I came here to take your pulse."

Mrs. Gu nodded with a smile and sat down by the table, Ju’er also taking a handkerchief and folding it beneath her wrist.
