Chapter 1224: You Have No Choice
Young Lady Niohuru stooped slightly to pick a flower, then lifted it to her nose to sniff it. She then said, “I’ll put things plainly. I want the child in your lady’s stomach to disappear without a trace.”
“Lady, this servant can’t do that,” said Ning Shu with a frightened expression.
Young Lady Niohuru stroked the flower lightly. “Yes you can. You’re a doctor, so you definitely have your ways. I have a bit of medicine here. You only need to rub this medicine on your body and make her smell it. Then the child will die. I guarantee that you won’t be implicated.”
Ning Shu was stunned for a moment, and then she understood. This medicine wouldn’t directly cause a miscarriage. Instead, it’d slowly kill the child while they were still in their mother’s stomach. That way, they would become stillborn.
How could Young Lady Niohuru bring herself to do this? She and Lady Niohuru were even related by blood!
“This servant dares not,” said Ning Shu fearfully with her head lowered.
Young Lady Niohuru plucked a petal as she said, “I’m sure that you can do it. At that time, I’ll give you a fortune.”
Ning Shu just took this as empty words. Everyone liked loyal people.
If she really did this, forget the question of whether or not she’d get a fortune, it’d be a question whether or not she could even continue to live. Who would like someone who had betrayed their master? If she could betray someone else today, she could betray you tomorrow.
Young Lady Niohuru was trying to kill the future Emperor Qianlong.
“This is my gift to you.” Young Lady Niohuru waved towards the maid at the side and the maid walked over to hand Ning Shu a red silk sachet.
As the maid took out the sachet, Young Lady Niohuru took several steps back and covered her nose.
Ning Shu took the bag and opened it. There were several ingots of silver and also a small bottle. The small bottle had several pitch-black pills that had a light and elegant scent.
“Dissolve the pill in water, then just rub it on your hands or neck,” said Young Lady Niohuru.
Ning Shu: …
“Lady, this servant truly cannot do this.” Ning Shu gave a direct refusal.
Young Lady Niohuru said lightly, “Do you think that Big Sister would still trust you after you head back? From the moment you stepped into this courtyard, you no longer had any other choices left. “
Ning Shu: →_→
The fr*ck? Did she really think that just because she was a transmigrator, it meant that she was the main character?
“I won’t treat you unfairly,” said Young Lady Niohuru lightly. “The silver you’re holding right now is only a small portion. Once you succeed, I’ll give you more silver banknotes.”
Ning Shu smiled and put away the sachet. Young Lady Niohuru smiled in triumph and said, “From now on, we’re on the same side.”
Ning Shu: Ha. Ha. Ha…
Ning Shu left Young Lady Niohuru’s courtyard, then took out the pills and sniffed them again to analyze their composition. Where did Young Lady Niohuru get these kinds of pills?
The effect was as Young Lady Niohuru had described. The effects weren’t as strong as abortion medicine, but it caused persisting damage to the fetus. The most important part was that the smell was actually quite pleasant. It was extremely elegant and light, so it wasn’t unbearable to smell.
Ning Shu used a handkerchief to wrap the bottle up until it was enclosed in several layers. Afterwards, she washed her hands before heading over to see Lady Niohuru.
Lady Niohuru was embroidering a dudou for her baby. When she saw Ning Shu, she asked lightly, “What did she do with all the flowers in her courtyard?”
“The lady said that she would remove all the flowers in her courtyard.” Ning Shu took out the reward money and medicine that Young Lady Niohuru had given her and told Lady Niohuru about everything Young Lady Niohuru said.
When Lady Niohuru heard about this, she was so startled that she pricked her finger. She looked at the medicine bottle in Ning Shu’s hand in alarm and asked, “Did she really say that?”
Ning Shu nodded. Lady Niohuru’s figure seemed to crumble and she stroked her stomach in alarm. “I only thought that she liked snatching things from me, but she was actually going to kill my child? I can’t let her off.”
“Lady, it’s best if you focus on taking good care of your health. These things can be discussed after you give birth. There will be plenty of time for these matters later,” advised Ning Shu.
“Lady, this silver?” asked Ning Shu.
“Since she gave it to you, just keep it,” said Lady Niohuru while rubbing her forehead. Ning Shu then curtsied and left the room.
Soon, Tong Yu came out and handed Ning Shu a few ingots of silver. There were two more than the amount Young Lady Niohuru had given. Tong Yu smiled as she said, “Miao Ling, this is a reward from the master, so just accept it.”
And like this, she got two consecutive sums of money.
