Chapter 1222: To Go or Not to Go?

As she had expected, that maid came over and sat down opposite her, then slipped her a note under the table. Ning Shu accepted the note and put it away.

After dinner, Ning Shu went back to her room and opened the note. It said, ‘Meet me at midnight in the rock garden’.

Ning Shu burned the note. Should she go?

Forget it, it was better not to go. If she got involved in this residence’s secret battles, she’d end up dying the moment she was careless.

Ning Shu only wanted to survive in this inner courtyard until the task ended.

The next day, when that maid saw Ning Shu, her eyes were filled with anger and confusion. She was obviously angry because Ning Shu didn’t go to the place last night.

The maid carried her food over to bump into Ning Shu, obviously planning to throw the food on Ning Shu. However, Ning Shu was able to dodge easily, causing the maid to trip over the doorstep and drop the food on herself.

The maid screamed, then glared at Ning Shu. However, she then immediately adjusted her expression and said to Ning Shu, “Can you help me out? I want to head back to my room and get changed, but my hand got cut by a shard. I heard that you know some medicine. Can you help me treat this wound?”

When the people around saw that the maid was in such a wretched state and that her hand was bleeding from being cut by a porcelain shard, they said to Ning Shu, “You should help her.”

After Ning Shu helped the maid back to her room, the maid completely disregarded the wound on her hand and just asked Ning Shu, “Why didn’t you show up last night? My master was the one that wanted to talk to you.”

“I’m just a little maid. I don’t have anything worthy of your master’s attention.” Ning Shu looked at her hand. “Do you want me to treat your wound or not? If you don’t want help, I’ll be leaving now.”

Ning Shu turned and left. She didn’t want to get involved with these people, especially since she didn’t even know who it was that was targeting her.

“Hey, wait! How can you leave just like this? ” The maid stomped her foot in frustration as she shouted at Ning Shu.

Ning Shu just ignored her. Whoever was looking for her at this sort of time definitely didn’t have any good intentions, and she still wanted to survive in this inner courtyard.

Lady Niohuru would occasionally have Ning Shu check her pulse. In reality, there was a doctor to check Lady Niohuru’s pulse so having her check the pulse again was completely unnecessary.

However, Ning Shu still earnestly checked Lady Niohuru’s pulse, then told her about all the foods that she should avoid.

Lady Niohuru carefully noted them down, then gave Ning Shu some more money as a reward.

Ning Shu had already accumulated quite a lot of reward money from the time she first came to Lady Niohuru’s courtyard. It was so much that Ning Shu felt a little awkward. She also couldn’t quite understand what Lady Niohuru meant by this.

In regards to trust, Lady Niohuru really didn’t trust her at all. However, she’d often give her reward money. Ning Shu got much better treatment here compared to when she had been in Lady Song’s courtyard.

Was she trying to gain her loyalty?

Ning Shu felt that her conscience was clear. She harbored no malice towards Lady Niohuru and she harbored no intentions towards anyone here, so she wouldn’t betray Lady Niohuru.

“Lady, the lady from Seeping Heart Garden is here,” said Tong Yu as she walked in.

Lady Niohuru frowned, then said to Ning Shu, “Come with me to take a look.”

When Young Lady Niohuru saw Lady Niohuru, she said, “Big Sister, I’m so bored! That’s why I came to chat with you.”

“You’re already pregnant, so be more careful,” said Lady Niohuru mildly.

Young Lady Niohuru didn’t really seem concerned. “It’s just a pregnancy, it’s not like I’m disabled.”

“Nonsense.” Lady Niohuru hushed her.

Young Lady Niohuru’s gaze then landed on Ning Shu and she said with envy, “This maid knows medicine, right? Last time, when Lady Song was having difficult labor, it was this maid that helped her. That means you don’t need to worry about anything when it comes time for you to give birth, Big Sister.”

Ning Shu: →_→

Nothing good usually happened when other people brought her up.

Lady Niohuru nodded and said, “It’s true, and she’s a woman too, so it’s a lot more convenient.”

“I really envy you, Big Sister.” Young Lady Niohuru looked towards Ning Shu. “When it comes time for me to give birth, can you lend this girl to me?”

Young Lady Niohuru’s way of speaking was very straightforward. However, what woman in the inner courtyard would use another person’s servant? Especially when giving birth was like taking a trip to the gates of hell?

If someone did a little something at that time, she would directly pass through gates of hell. It was even possible for both the mother and the child to die at the same time.
