Qiu Hu hurriedly said, "Because the master and the imperial physician said that the concubine injured her body during childbirth and needs to rest for two months to recover, the concubine is unable to come and pay her respects to the master, so she specially sent this servant to apologize to the master."
She did this on purpose. If she couldn't come to pay her respects, why didn't she send someone to tell her sooner?
But they had to wait until everyone had arrived, and then they were using the master's name...
