Madam Qi hurriedly wiped her tears and nodded to Mrs. Dong, choking with gratitude.
"But besides being daughters and mothers, my fifth sister-in-law and I are also wives of the Bai family. We’ve all vowed to our husbands to stay together through life and death. Moreover, my fifth sister-in-law just gave birth, how could Madam Qi, as a mother, bear to see her daughter and granddaughter separated?"

"Why are you saying such things at a time like this? We are family, there’s nothing to avoid!" Mrs. Dong, displeased that Mrs. Qi wasn’t taking care of herself, scolded her with a stern face.
She dragged Mrs. Qi in, settled her on the bed, wrapped her in a brocade quilt, and then harshly questioned Mrs. Qi’s personal maids, "How could you serve the fifth lady like this? Don’t you know she’s still in confinement?"
