Jiang Ning felt relieved.
As for Lin Zizi, her whole heart and mind were now filled with concern for her suffering little daughter, and she met every request Jiang Ning made without any hesitation.
Therefore, the next day, she had her close confidante Mother Zhou go out to find a doctor and buy medicine.
Nowadays, it was not easy to buy this kind of medicine, as its sale was strictly regulated.
However, that was for ordinary people and the Jiang Family was by no means an ordinary family.
Mother Zhou quickly and discreetly bought the medicine, secretly brought it back, and brewed it in the Black Bamboo Garden with a small stove, instead of daring to use the kitchen.
When the medicine was ready, it was a dark, thick liquid with a strong bitter taste.
Jiang Ning couldnât stand the unusual smell, and the scent alone made her feel nauseous.
âTake it away immediately ââ
âMiss, medicine is generally bitter. Itâll be fine after you drink it,â said Mother Zhou, who was Lin Ziziâs personal maid since childhood and utterly loyal and reliable. Lin Zizi never hid anything from her.
Although Mother Zhou hated the man who had taken away Seventh Missâs innocence, she had to get rid of this bastard child first.
The wedding was just a month away, and they had to restore Jiang Ningâs health before then.
Jiang Ning covered her mouth, trying to suppress the urge to vomit.
Mother Zhou gently coaxed her: âMiss, hold your nose and down it in one go. Itâll be fine after you drink it.â
Jiang Ning picked up the bowl and took a sip, but immediately vomited it out with a retch.
She simply couldnât swallow it.
Lin Zizi felt extremely distressed: âLetâs not drink it then.â
âMadam, I understand that you are concerned about Miss, but the short-term pain is better than long-term suffering. In a monthâs time, her pregnancy will begin to show, and if she goes to the Prince of Yuâs mansion like this, it could be a life-threatening matter.â
Everything Mother Zhou said was true.
Jiang Ning was well aware of this.
She gritted her teeth, picked up the bowl of medicine, held her nose, and gulped it down in one go.
She barely managed to not vomit it back up each time she felt the urge.
Mother Zhou quickly helped her lie down and said, âI donât dare call the maids to tend to you now, for fear of gossip and rumors. Please rest well, Miss. I will be here guarding you. When your stomach starts to hurt, you must tell me.â
Lin Zizi anxiously watched her closely.
Jiang Ning closed her eyes and silently waited for the stomach pain to come.
After waiting for quite a while without feeling anything, she unknowingly fell asleep.
When she woke up, it was already noon.
She instinctively touched her stomach, but felt nothing abnormal. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lin Zizi was dozing off by the bed while Mother Zhou was sitting at the foot of Jiang Ningâs bed, sewing a shoe pad. They both stayed with her and didnât dare to leave.
Jiang Ning sat up, startling them.
âMiss, whatâs wrong? Is your stomach hurting?â Mother Zhou asked hurriedly.
Jiang Ning shook her head: âWhat time is it?â
âItâs almost noon.â
âDid I sleep for more than an hour?â Jiang Ning frowned, âWhy didnât I feel anything?â
Lin Zizi looked at Mother Zhou.
Mother Zhou was also puzzled: âHow could this be? Normally, the medicine should take effect within the time it takes to burn a stick of incense.â
Lin Zizi touched Jiang Ningâs forehead and asked worriedly, âNingning, is there anything wrong? You must tell me if youâre uncomfortable. Iâm worried.â
Jiang Ning got out of bed, walked a few steps, and touched her stomach: âApart from feeling a bit hungry, thereâs nothing else.â
âHuh? Thatâs not right,â Mother Zhou was also at a loss.
She personally fetched the medicine, guarded the small stove and watched Jiang Ning drink it.
From start to finish, she had done everything herself, without anyone elseâs involvement.
There should have been a reaction by now.
Lin Zizi asked: âCould it be that you picked up the wrong medicine?â
