Chapter 1226: This is the Meaning of Skills
Tong Yu felt that this person didn’t care about anything.
“I’m afraid of dying. I just want to live,” said Ning Shu with a grin.
Tong Yu scoffed, “As long as you don’t do anything to hurt the lady, she’ll naturally protect you.”
“I’m of course on the lady’s side,” said Ning Shu.
Tong Yu’s expression didn’t change. It wasn’t very apparent whether she believed Ning Shu’s words or not.
As the pregnancy progressed, Lady Niohuru started having morning sickness. She’d feel very dizzy, nauseous, and drowsy. These were normal phenomenons of pregnancy.
Tong Yu went to find Ning Shu and asked if she had any remedies. If the lady continued to be unable to keep any food down, her body wouldn’t be able to hold up.
Ning Shu gave Tong Yu a sachet that contained mint leaves and orange peel and said, “She can sniff this when she feels uncomfortable. You can also add a bit more vinegar when cooking. It’ll help increase appetite.”
Tong Yu took the sachet and had the doctor take a look. The doctor said that there were no issues with it and it was indeed possible to suppress discomfort using this method.
Lady Niohuru was finally put at ease and she started keeping the sachet that Ning Shu made with her. However, no medicine could cure morning sickness, all they could do was try to suppress it.
Lady Niohuru was very worn out from vomiting and so dizzy that she couldn’t even get out of bed. However, no matter how sick she felt, she wouldn’t call for Yinzhen.
Lady Niohuru would only talk about how sick she felt when Yinzhen came to visit her. In this way, instead of making Yinzhen feel annoyed, it caused Yinzhen to feel heartache for her.
Most of the time, Lady Niohuru didn’t bother Yinzhen. She’d only act spoiled and complain a little when Yinzhen came to visit. It was totally different from the way Lady Song had behaved when she was pregnant.
Lady Song was the type to invite people over immediately whenever any little problem occurred. She would make such a ruckus, and in the end, it would turn out that there wasn’t an issue at all.
The two simply weren’t on the same level.
Besides, there were several other pregnant women in this inner courtyard. If this woman called and that woman also called, Yinzhen would probably be worked to exhaustion.
Ning Shu was still working as a third-class cleaning maid. Every day, she swept the courtyard and wiped the floors. Her hands had already become rough from all the cleaning.
When would she be able to fr*cking leave this place? Lady Niohuru was already almost five months pregnant! Why was she fr*cking still stuck in this world?
It had already been over two years. Why hasn’t the system told her to leave this world?
Young Lady Niohuru would occasionally come to visit Lady Niohuru’s courtyard. Every time she saw Ning Shu, she would wink at Ning Shu. However, Ning Shu would just pretend not to notice and continue doing her own thing.
Lady Niohuru was clearly aware that the person in front of her wanted to hurt her child, but she didn’t show it at all. Young Lady Niohuru would call her ‘Big Sister,’ and Lady Niohuru would call her ‘Little Sister.’ When they were together, they always seemed like close sisters with an excellent relationship.
When Young Lady Niohuru saw Lady Niohuru’s slightly raised belly, slight confusion flashed through her eyes. Why hasn’t she had a miscarriage yet?
She saw that Lady Niohuru’s facial color was pretty good. When she heard Lady Niohuru say that she could feel the baby moving, she concluded that her plan had failed.
Once the doctor came to do the routine pulse check, Young Lady Niohuru asked the doctor, “How is my sister’s health? I heard that she wasn’t feeling well before. Is she better now?”
The doctor said, “The lady is fine and the baby is also very healthy.”
“Is she really fine? I’m pretty worried about my sister.” Young Lady Niohuru asked the doctor again, “Is my sister really alright?”
“She’s fine, she’s very healthy,” said the doctor.
Young Lady Niohuru was disappointed and angry. That damned girl didn’t do anything after taking the money. She hadn’t carried out the plan!
Or was this because that girl couldn’t get close to Lady Niohuru?
Young Lady Niohuru rubbed her forehead, then waved the doctor off. A moment later though, she called the doctor back. “Wait a minute. You can tell whether it’s a boy or a girl now, right?”
The doctor cupped his fist and said, “The child in the lady’s belly is a boy.”
Young Lady Niohuru smiled and had her personal maid give the doctor some reward money.
The doctor accepted the money and left. As Young Lady Niohuru watched the doctor leave, her eyes flickered. Since using the maid wouldn’t work, then she should just use the doctor.
Young Lady Niohuru stroked her stomach. “Child, everything Mother did is for you. In this inner courtyard, only the victor can stand at the summit.”
She, a person of the modern era, was now thickening her skin to serve as someone’s concubine. If it weren’t for the fact that Yinzhen was the future emperor of the Qing Dynasty, there was no way she would share a husband with other women. Furthermore, this man was even her brother-in-law.
