Chapter 1228: Man Proposes but God Disposes

“Big Sis Tong Yu, you’re being too polite. This is simply this servant’s duty.” Ning Shu curtsied. Tong Yu pressed the silver into Ning Shu’s hand. “Take it. The lady wishes to give it to you.”

Ning Shu accepted the pieces of silver. She had gotten money again.

Every time she helped Lady Niohuru do something, Lady Niohuru would give her some reward money. As of now, she had already accumulated quite a lot of money.

For a maid, this was probably a huge sum of money.

Lady Niohuru knew that it was Young Lady Niohuru who had tried to do this to her. Young Lady Niohuru kept coming to talk to her, but she said that she wasn’t feeling well and refused to meet with Young Lady Niohuru.

As of now, Lady Niohuru was just enduring things as best as she could. Nothing was more important than the child.

She’d settle this account slowly in the future.

During Lady Niohuru and Young Lady Niohuru’s seventh month of pregnancy, Lady Li and Lady Geng both gave birth, and they were both boys.

This meant that two more boys had been born after Lady Ula Nara’s son. So of Lady Niohuru and Young Lady Niohuru’s children, whichever was born first would be the fourth and obtain the name of Hongli.

Lady Niohuru didn’t know about this history, but Young Lady Niohuru knew.

While Ning Shu was checking Lady Niohuru’s pulse, a maid walked in and said to Lady Niohuru, “Lady, the lady of Seeping Heart Garden is giving birth.”

Lady Niohuru was stunned for a moment. “It’s only been seven months. Why is she giving birth already?”

“I heard that she fell,” said the maid.

Lady Niohuru’s facial color was a little pale as she supported her stomach with a trace of lingering fear. “Will the baby in her stomach be alright?”

Ning Shu comforted Lady Niohuru. “Don’t worry, Lady. After all, isn’t that said that early birth in the seventh month will survive, but it won’t in the eighth month?”

“Go to her courtyard and take a look for me. Tell me if anything happens.” Lady Niohuru didn’t plan to go to her courtyard and had Ning Shu go instead.

Ning Shu curtsied, then headed to Young Lady Niohuru’s courtyard. Yinzhen and Lady Ula Nara were already waiting there. The moment Ning Shu entered the courtyard, she heard Young Lady Niohuru’s pained screams.

She simply waited outside. Lady Niohuru gave birth very smoothly and soon gave birth to a boy. Since he had been born prematurely though, he was a little weak.

After the baby was born, Ning Shu went back and reported this to Lady Niohuru. When Lady Niohuru heard this news, she just pressed her lips together without saying anything.

However, Ning Shu felt that Young Lady Niohuru had deliberately given birth to her child ahead of time in order to make her child the fourth son.

Yinzhen didn’t immediately name the child. Lady Li and Lady Geng’s children hadn’t been named yet either. The children wouldn’t be named until they were one month old.

Young Lady Niohuru kept pestering Yinzhen to name her child while she was still in the puerperium period, but Yinzhen refused to. He said that he’d name the child and add him to the genealogy once he was one month old.

Young Lady Niohuru asked several times, but Yinzhen still didn’t agree, so she didn’t dare to mention anymore.

Young Lady Niohuru was pretty depressed. How come when other people transmigrated, it was always with impressive flair and they would even obtain the love of the emperor?

She had already tried her best to make Yinzhen fall in love with her, but this man was seriously cold to the core. She had already been his woman for a long time, but he still hadn’t fallen in love with her.

Instead, she had fallen in love with him.

It was easier for women to develop feelings when it came to pleasures on the bed.

People always eventually assimilated into their environment, and Young Lady Niohuru had gradually become a woman of the ancient era. She viewed her husband as the sky and based her own worth on her children.

If that wasn’t the case, she wouldn’t have taken such a risk to give birth ahead of time.

However, Yinzhen’s attitude hurt Young Lady Niohuru. He refused to even give her child a name. Young Lady Niohuru wanted her son to be called Hongli, Aisin Gioro Hongli.

However, something soon happened that caused Young Lady Niohuru to completely panic, which was that Lady Geng’s child had died before he even became a month old.

Children that died young were not even given names, much less added to the genealogy. This meant that Young Lady Niohuru’s prematurely born child was now the third, not the fourth son.

When Ning Shu learned about this, she just smacked her lips. Fate truly couldn’t be predicted. Young Lady Niohuru had made such careful plans, but this turned out to be the result.

Could it be that all Young Lady Niohuru knew was that Hongli was the fourth son? She hadn’t been aware that Lady Geng had only one son recorded in the genealogy? Her only recorded son was the sixth, Hong Zhou, who liked to earn money by providing funeral services instead of working in the government.

What was this called? Man proposes but God disposes? Some things just wouldn’t go as the person wanted them to.
