Chapter 1210: Check My Pulse

After she finished feeding the child goat milk, she picked up the child and patted her on the back to prevent her from throwing up the milk.

Once the child fell asleep, Ning Shu set the child back down in the cradle.

It took awhile for her to finish all of this, but the wet nurse didn’t wake up a single time to check on the baby.

It was no wonder that the child had ended up dying. From the start, while Lady Song was pregnant, she had serious morning sickness. She didn’t eat much, so the child wasn’t very nourished. Furthermore, it was a difficult childbirth, so the child’s constitution was very weak.

The wet nurse didn’t bother to take good care of the child.

Ning Shu only headed back after completing all of these tasks. The maid that was in the same room as her was still sleeping, so she went quietly to the bed to lay down.

Early the next morning, she had to get up again to work. Ning Shu felt like her days were seriously rich and full, very full.

She got a broom to start sweeping the leaves in the courtyard, but Tong Yu came out and said to her, “Miao Ling, the lady wishes to talk to you. Come on.”

Ning Shu put down the broom and tidied up her clothes before walking into the room. Lady Niohuru was sitting on a chair. Ning Shu hastily curtsied towards her and said, “This servant pays her respects, Lady. Was there something you needed from this servant?”

Lady Niohuru said softly, “Nothing much. I just wanted to ask who you learned medicine from?”

“This servant learned a little from a barefoot doctor back when this servant was in the countryside. However, it’s just some basics, just some superficial knowledge,” said Ning Shu.

Lady Niohuru paused for a moment, then said, “Check my pulse for me.”

Ning Shu asked, “Lady, are you not feeling well somewhere? This servant only knows a bit of superficial knowledge.”

“I feel fine but do check my pulse.” Lady Niohuru’s lips curved slightly.

Ning Shu had no choice but to check Lady Niohuru’s pulse. Afterwards, she retrieved her hand and said, “Lady, you’re in very good health.”

Lady Niohuru nodded. “You can return to your work.”

Ning Shu found this entire event rather baffling, but she could only curtsy and withdraw. She then continued sweeping and wiping the floor.

She could sense someone was watching her. When she turned around, she saw that it was Lady Niohuru’s personal maid, Tong Yu. Ning Shu set her rag down and walked over with a curtsy to ask, “Big Sis Tong Yu,?”

Tong Yu looked at Ning Shu as she asked, “You check the lady’s pulse just now. How is her health?”

“The lady is in good health,” said Ning Shu

Lady Niohuru really was in pretty good health. Furthermore, she made sure to take good care of herself. If not for that, she wouldn’t have lived to be more than 80 years old, surviving through three dynasties.

“Then why hasn’t the lady become pregnant?” Tong Yu drew closer to Ning Shu’s ear to ask this in a small voice.

So this was what she was worried about. Ning Shu felt that Lady Niohuru didn’t have to worry at all. If no accidents occurred, the future Emperor Qianlong, Hongli, would be born from Lady Niohuru’s stomach.

“The lady doesn’t have to worry. She’s in very good health, so she’ll be able to get pregnant soon,” said Ning Shu with a smile. “The lady will definitely be able to become pregnant. Her body is perfectly fine.”

Tong Yu nodded, then said, “Make sure to do your work well.”

Ning Shu’s daily job was to clean. She just had to clean the whole courtyard once a day, then she could do whatever she wanted the rest of the time.

After finishing the work, Ning Shu would make some mosquito repellent sachets and some moisture absorbing powder. Applying the powder to the little lady’s body reduced the sweat rashes.

On hot days like this, children should be given more baths, but the wet nurse found it too troublesome.

Even Lady Song, the mother, didn’t care about her daughter, so how could others possibly care about her child?

Lady Song only took a look at the little lady occasionally. When she saw that the child was still thin and weak, she felt both distressed and helpless. All in all, it was all because the child wasn’t a boy.

Lady Song’s attitude of negligence made the wet nurse also disregard the child.

Even Ning Shu was taking care of the child only because of the task. There was no affection at all. After all, from the start, the child had nothing to do with her.
