Chapter 1223: Can I Borrow This Girl?
Ning Shu was pretty sure Young Lady Niohuru didn’t actually want her to help deliver her baby. She was only saying this offhandedly.
“Big Sister, can I borrow this girl for a while? You know that I like to plant flowers so my courtyard is filled with flowers. I’m pregnant now so I’m worried that some of those flowers might be bad for my child.” Young Lady Niohuru directly asked for Ning Shu.

For some reason, she had a bad feeling. Why wasn’t Young Lady Niohuru looking for a doctor instead?
Lady Niohuru glanced at Ning Shu. She didn’t immediately answer Young Lady Niohuru.
“Big Sister, just let me borrow her for a little while. I’ll have her sent back later,” said Young Lady Niohuru sweetly in a spoiled tone.
Lady Niohuru had no choice but to nod.
Young Lady Niohuru immediately smiled happily. “I’ll send her back soon.”
Ning Shu followed Young Lady Niohuru to her courtyard. The moment she entered the courtyard, she was hit by the fragrance of flowers. There were all kinds of flowers in the courtyard, and butterflies and bees fluttered around the flowers.
“Take a look at these flowers. Are there any that would harm the child in my belly?” Young Lady Niohuru waved towards the maids behind her and the maids all retreated a distance away so that only Ning Shu and Young Lady Niohuru were standing in the garden.
“Lady, since you’re currently pregnant, it’s best not to plant flowers,” said Ning Shu.
Young Lady Niohuru crinkled her nose delicately, then nodded and said, “You’re right, I shouldn’t plant any more. It might even make the child allergic to pollen.”
Ning Shu acted like she didn’t hear the modern term Young Lady Niohuru used.
“I know that my sister doesn’t favor you. You used to be Lady Song’s maid, so my sister can’t trust you.” Young Lady Niohuru suddenly said, “I had someone go find you previously, but you didn’t come.”
Ning Shu immediately realized that the maid from before was one of Young Lady Niohuru’s people.
Ning Shu curtsied and said, “The lady treats this servant very well.”
“Whether she treats you well or not doesn’t depend on words, it depends on actions and feelings. My sister doesn’t actually trust you. The only reason she brings you around is for the madame to see. Based on what I’ve heard, you don’t have much status in my sister’s courtyard and all you do is the cleaning work of third-class servant girls,” said Young Lady Niohuru with a slight smile.
“You’re a capable person. I really hope that you’d be by my side while I give birth. My sister isn’t willing to trust you, but I am.”
After Ning Shu heard what Young Lady Niohuru said, she finally understood the picture. This person was trying to recruit her. Actually, to be precise, this person wanted her to do something.
Ning Shu curtsied and said, “Thank you for your praise, Lady. This servant doesn’t dare to accept it.”
