Chapter 1225: Which Would Be the Fourth?
Ning Shu had directly told Lady Niohuru about what Young Lady Niohuru had asked her to do. She had no desire to hide it. Lady Niohuru could go worry about this herself.
How had Young Lady Niohuru been so sure that she wouldn’t tell Lady Niohuru about this? Openly talking about this was also able to solve the problem.
In any case, it had nothing to do with her anymore.
It was probably due to this incident, but Lady Niohuru didn’t trust Ning Shu as much anymore. She rarely allowed Ning Shu to get close to her anymore. If she felt uncomfortable, she’d invite the residence’s doctor. Ning Shu didn’t really care either way and just focused on doing what she should be doing.
She had never wanted to win Lady Niohuru’s trust anyways.
Ning Shu had a faint idea of what Young Lady Niohuru was trying to do. She wanted to kill the baby Lady Niohuru’s belly so that the future Hongli would be born from her belly.
Hongli was the fourth. Lady Ula Nara had given birth to the first son. Lady Li was pregnant with a boy this time, and Lady Geng’s was unknown. As of now, Lady Niohuru and Young Lady Niohuru had gotten pregnant at the same time. Who knew which one of them would give birth first?
It wasn’t her place to get involved in these affairs though and even if she wanted to get involved, she couldn’t. So right now, she just wanted to know when she’d be able to leave this world.
Lady Nian was taking very good care of Lady Song’s child. As of now, the child could walk slowly with support so she probably wasn’t at high risk of dying young anymore.
“Miao Ling.” Ning Shu was currently sweeping when Tong Yu walked over to her and asked, “What should I do with the medicine that the lady of Seeping Heart Garden gave you?”
“You still have that medicine?” asked Ning Shu. “Why haven’t you gotten rid of it yet?”
“You can’t keep that kind of thing around. Just the smell of it is bad for pregnant women.” Ning Shu was a little taken aback. It’s already been several days. Why haven’t they gotten rid of it yet?
Tong Yu said, “That’s why I came to ask you how to deal with it. The lady was very flustered and didn’t know what to do.”
Ning Shu said mildly, “You can deal with it however you like. For example, just dissolve it in water and just bury it. It’s actually not that scary.”
“It’s just a mixture of various herbs. Once it’s diluted, it doesn’t really have much of an effect,” said Ning Shu offhandedly.
Tong Yu looked towards Ning Shu. “Can I trust you?”
“Why can’t you trust me? I’m the lady’s servant. What benefits will I get if anything happened to the lady? I used to be Lady Song’s servant, but now I’m with the lady. If she doesn’t trust me, could it be that I’d be in a better situation serving someone else?”
Everyone only trusted their own people.
Tong Yu glanced at Ning Shu, then finally said, “You can go back to sweeping.”
Ning Shu nodded, then continued sweeping. Tong Yu glanced at Ning Shu again. “You’re pretty strange. What exactly do you desire?”
