Chapter 1199: Playing Telephone
Lady Song stayed in a confused daze even after Yinzhen left. It was clear that she had no idea what made the prince unhappy.
Ning Shu could see it clearly though. Yinzhen had just praised Lady Song for being sensible, but in the next moment, Lady Song had asked for him to stay. A pregnant concubine was still asking her man to stay for the night?
When the main wife was pregnant and had no way of attending to her husband, she even had to help her husband find women. However, a concubine, during her pregnancy, was actually for her man to stay. She seriously didn’t know any etiquette.
Furthermore, Lady Song wasn’t favored at all in the first place.
Lady Song was a little angry and swept all the food off the table.
The plates fell to the ground, emitting crisp sounds as they shattered. Oil and water mixed with the shattered porcelain, making the ground a complete mess.
Lady Song was upset due to Yinzhen’s sharply fluctuating attitude. This in addition to her pregnancy mood swings caused her to behave in a very extreme way.
After venting for a good while, Lady Song saw the mess on the ground and annoyance flashed across her face. She said to Hong Mei, “Clean up everything on the ground, don’t let anyone notice.”
“Miao Ling, hurry and clean up the floor,” said Hong Mei to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu: ...
So speechless.
Ning Shu had no choice but to start cleaning up the things on the ground. It was completely covered with grease. She had to wipe the ground several times to finally get it clean.
“Ow!” cried Lady Song suddenly. Her expression was flustered. “My stomach hurts! My stomach hurts!”
“Lady, Lady...” Hong Mei’s expression was panicked.”Lady, are you ok? “
Ning Shu threw aside the handkerchief she was holding and walked over to check Lady Song’s pulse. There wasn’t really an issue. As she took in Lady Song’s expression of great pain, she was pretty speechless.
Wasn’t this a little too exaggerated?
During the beginning of pregnancy, it was normal to have some pain in the lower abdomen because the body hadn’t yet adapted to pregnancy. It’d get better after a little while.
“Lady, it’s alright,” said Ning Shu to Lady Song.
Lady Song’s face was pale. “But my stomach hurts.”
“Miao Ling, it’s not like you’re a doctor. Do you think you would be able to know just because you checked her pulse like a doctor? Go get a doctor,” said Hong Mei in an annoyed tone.
“I’m a little scared. Go call the prince,” said Lady Song weakly to Ning Shu.
Ning Shu: ...
It was so late now, and they had already called the doctor once during the day. It had only been a little while, but they were calling the doctor again.
Ning Shu was pretty annoyed.
It was clearly nothing. Why did Lady Song insist on garnering attention like this?
Ning Shu curtsied and said, “This servant has learned medicine from a barefoot doctor, so this servant knows a little about medicine.”
“The lady is an honored noble. You think you’re some miracle doctor just because you learned a little from a barefoot doctor? Can you afford to take responsibility for delaying her treatment? The prince’s eldest son is in her stomach! No mistakes can be allowed.” Hong Mei jabbed her finger at Ning Shu. “The lady told you to ask the prince to come here, so what are you still wasting time for?”
Ning Shu: Helpless...
“Hurry up, don’t you see that the lady isn’t feeling well?” Hong Mei pushed Ning Shu, “Hurry and go invite the prince.”
Ning Shu sighed, then turned to head towards Lady Ula Nara’s courtyard.
At this time, Lady Ula Nara was getting ready to go to bed. When she heard that Ning Shu had come, she granted Ning Shu a meeting. However, her tone was slightly displeased. “What’s wrong with your master now?”
Ning Shu could hear the helplessness in Lady Ula Nara’s voice. She curtsied and said, “Madame, the lady said that her stomach hurts and wants to see a doctor.”
Lady Ula Nara rubbed her forehead. “You go find the doctor, this consort will go invite the prince.”
Ning Shu nodded and left to find the residence’s doctor. The doctor looked quite helpless as well when he saw Ning Shu, but he grabbed his medicine box and headed to Lady Song’s courtyard with Ning Shu.
