Chapter 41 Contraceptives 1
When Shen Tang woke up the next day, Meng Huaiyan was no longer there.
She touched the side of the bed beside her; it was cold. She didn't know when he had left.
After A-Yun helped her wash up, Qiao-Er had already prepared breakfast.
While eating breakfast, Shen Tang asked Qiao'er, "Where did the young master go? I haven't seen him."
Qiao'er said, "The young master has gone to the study to attend to official business."
Shen Tang listened and gave a soft "Oh".
Qiao'er teased mischievously, "Does Madam miss the young master?"
Shen Tang was startled and said in alarm, "Qiao'er, don't say such scary things in broad daylight."
"..." Qiao'er's expression froze, and she fell silent.
Missing him?
She'd be a fool to even think about her. With Meng Huaiyan gone, Shen Tang felt the air was much fresher.
After finishing breakfast, Shen Tang found an excuse to send Qiao'er away, then called A Yun into the bedroom and whispered a few words to her.
Meng Huaiyan was there all day yesterday, but she couldn't find an opportunity. Now, however, is a good chance.
Upon hearing her mistress's order, A-Yun's eyes widened instantly: "Miss..."
"Let's not talk about anything else, you should go quickly." Shen Tang interrupted A Yun. Meng Huaiyan might return at any time, and if they delayed any longer, they didn't know when he would return.
Shen Tang's tone was somewhat anxious: "Go and come back quickly, and be discreet in your actions."
Seeing that her mistress was in such a hurry, A-Yun nodded repeatedly and rushed out the door.
Although Meng Huaiyan had already removed the people monitoring her in the courtyard, Shen Tang couldn't help but feel a little worried. She was afraid that Meng Huaiyan would suddenly return and be discovered by him, and she was also worried that things wouldn't go smoothly for A Yun.
He paced anxiously back and forth in the room.
Half an hour later, A-Yun finally returned.
Shen Tang quickly asked, "How is it?"
Ayun took out a porcelain bottle from her sleeve and handed it to Shen Tang: "Got it."
Seeing that the young lady was about to put a pill into her mouth without hesitation, A-Yun quickly grabbed her sleeve, her face full of worry: "Miss, the owner of that pharmacy said that this medicine is very strong, and taking too much may be bad for your health."
"It's alright." Shen Tang pulled her hand away and put the pill in her mouth. The bitter taste instantly spread throughout her mouth. Shen Tang frowned, but showed no regret.
She couldn't stay in the Duke's mansion forever; she would definitely leave as soon as she found an opportunity.
She absolutely cannot let her child hold her back.
It's just that it's been a while, so hopefully the medicine is still effective.
Meng Huaiyan was probably really busy, because at noon he sent Qingsong over to tell her that she didn't need to wait for him to have lunch.
Shen Tang was so happy that she ate an extra bowl of rice.
As the shopkeeper had said, the pills were indeed quite strong. In the afternoon, Shen Tang's stomach began to feel uncomfortable, and she couldn't help but dry heave.
Fortunately, Meng Huaiyan wasn't there, otherwise it certainly wouldn't have been kept secret.
Ah Yun was so anxious that her face turned pale. She mixed some honey water and gave it to Shen Tang to drink.
The honey water probably did have some effect, as Shen Tang felt that the discomfort in her body had subsided considerably.
At least I'm not gagging anymore.
After all that commotion, Shen Tang felt quite tired and wanted to take a short rest.
Suddenly, Qiao'er knocked on the door and came in to report that people from the Princess's side had arrived.
A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in Shen Tang's heart.
In the very center of the hall stood an old woman dressed in a dark green jacket, her hair neatly combed, her face full of deep wrinkles and solemn expression.
