"The child is hungry."
Xiangling looked at her concubine, who had fallen asleep from exhaustion on the bed, and was immediately at a loss. "What should we do? The Madam hasn't arranged a wet nurse, and now Concubine Xiang..."
As she spoke, Xiangling felt a lump in her throat and thought about shedding tears again.
Hearing her sobbing voice, Lu Qiqi felt she was about to cry again and said calmly, "Don't cry. Crying won't solve anything and will only hurt your eyes."
In wealthy families, when a woman gives birth, they usually provide a wet nurse in advance so that she can recover quickly and serve the master of the house as soon as possible.
Madam Wu, having given birth to two sons and a daughter, was naturally well aware of the matter; she simply did not wish to make arrangements for Concubine Xiang.
When Lu Qiqi said that, Xiangling held back her tears, but she was very anxious inside.
Lu Qiqi added, "Go find a small spoon and give the baby some water. Your aunt just gave birth, so she probably doesn't have any breast milk yet."
Xiangling knew that the village head was very capable and was also Aunt Xiang's savior, so she did as she was told without thinking.
She handed the baby girl to Lu Qiqi and ran out of the house.
There's a small kitchen in the yard, so finding a small spoon isn't difficult.

Since she didn't have that right now, she could only use the spiritual spring water as a substitute for glucose water.
But this is ultimately no match for breast milk. Lu Qiqi said, "Have someone cook some rice porridge. If Aunt Xiang doesn't have any breast milk, it can be used to make do for now. She can drink it when she wakes up."
Upon hearing this, Xiangling volunteered, "This servant will go cook. Besides this servant, there are only maids and servants responsible for cleaning outside in the concubine's courtyard."
"Go."
Lu Qiqi hadn't expected that Aunt Xiang would be so meticulous in her work, not relying on anyone else for food.
But given how cautious she was, why did such an obvious and strange smell appear in her room, yet no one suspected or noticed it?
