Chapter 1215: Stomach Discomfort Going Around
Ning Shu never thought that Tong Yu would be here waiting for her. It felt like she had gotten caught.
“I just went to the latrine. I have a bit of diarrhea,” said Ning Shu while covering her stomach.
Tong Yu didn’t really care where Ning Shu had gone and just said, “The lady isn’t feeling well, go take a look at her.”
“Alright.” Ning Shu followed Tong Yu to Lady Niohuru’s room. Lady Niohuru was lying on the bed, her face a little pale.
Ning Shu walked over to check Lady Niohuru’s pulse, then said, “Lady, you’re doing fine. Your stomach is simply a little uncomfortable.”
A trace of disappointment flashed across Lady Niohuru’s face. Tong Yu who was next to her saw her expression so she asked Ning Shu, “It’s just stomach discomfort?”
Ning Shu took in Lady Niohuru and Tong Yu’s expressions and kind of understood. They probably thought that it had been a sign of pregnancy. Ning Shu said, “Then allow this servant to try again.”
It was already very late, so Lady Niohuru couldn’t really ask the residence’s doctor to come over. That was why she had Ning Shu come over instead. Ning Shu felt the pulse for a good while, but it wasn’t a slippery pulse at all.
“Lady, it’s simply stomach discomfort. There’s no need to worry,” said Ning Shu.
Lady Niohuru nodded. “You can withdraw.”
Ning Shu curtsied, then turned and left the room. Tong Yu followed her out of the room and gave her a silver hairpin, “The lady wishes to give you this.”
“This servant kowtows in thanks, Lady.” Ning Shu accepted the silver hairpin.
Tong Yu asked Ning Shu, “The lady really doesn’t…”
Ning Shu nodded. “The lady’s pulse really doesn’t show that sign right now. It takes a month for the slippery pulse to show.”
“The lady is in very good health. There’s no didn’t need to worry.”
“You can head back to rest,” said Tong Yu to Ning Shu. Ning Shu curtsied, then turned and left.
Back in the room, Ning Shu was sitting cross-legged on the bed. She had a bad premonition. It felt like Lady Niohuru was now focused on her and no longer disregarded her like before.
With this, it would be a lot more difficult for her to visit the little lady at night. This time when she had been caught, she had said that she had gone to poop, but what about next time? And the next time after that?
It hadn’t been easy for her to nurse the little lady into slightly better health. At the very least, she had lived past the first month.
Ning Shu couldn’t understand what Lady Niohuru’s intentions were. Could it be that she wanted to make her a trusted aide, but couldn’t trust her, so she kept waiting to observe her?
Ning Shu expressed that she just wanted to be a quiet little maid with no sense of existence. It was probably because she had shown some skill last time when Lady Song was going through a difficult birth, so Lady Niohuru felt that she was a rather useful person.
Haa.
