Chapter 128 Preparing to Defend the City
After sending the two little devils away, the eldest lady asked Chen Wangshu to stay and closed the door to talk for a while, which was not convenient for outsiders to hear: "Niannian, you said that at my age, it is really possible to have a brother of my own. Is it true?"
Shen Wangshu said: "Aunt is still young, let alone now, even if she wants to get pregnant in ten years, it is not impossible."
The eldest lady had always been strong and capable to the outside world. Now she could only tell her troubles to her niece-in-law. She felt ashamed but also relieved: "But that Wang - the one you met last time, Song Ge'er's biological mother, has always come to see me these days to mock me for dreaming of having a pearl. I get so angry every time I hear that."
"Your uncle often brings Song Ge'er with him to do things now. He values him the most among all his children. As a result, I can't do anything to Wang, and I even have to give her some face."
This is the bad thing about not having your own biological son. As the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, Cheng also has times when she can't stand up straight. Cheng has been glorious and arrogant all her life, but she has repeatedly run into obstacles with a concubine.
But Wang didn't do anything too excessive, and she was obviously out of control. One can imagine how frustrated the first lady felt.
Giving birth to a son has almost become her obsession. She cannot watch the huge fortune of the Duke's Mansion fall into the hands of a concubine and illegitimate son!
The fate of women in ancient times was almost tied to having children, which was a tragedy. As an outsider, Shen Wangshu could feel this tragedy more and more. She could only say that she was lucky to have married a non-human, and no one from above put pressure on her, so she could still control her own reproductive rights.
Shen Wangshu looked at the worried-looking lady and took her pulse as usual. Most of the causes of infertility are liver qi stagnation, phlegm dampness, blood stasis, and severe uterine cold.
This disease can't be cured all at once, it can only be slowly recuperated. The famous gynecologist in Moyun City has seen the eldest lady countless times, and the prescription he gave was also for recuperation. Shen Wangshu adjusted and deleted a few things on this basis.
The eldest lady sat on the stool with a gloomy look on her face: "I was told not to be angry. How can I not be angry when I have to worry about everything big and small all day long?"
For this kind of thing, no one would necessarily listen to you even if you advised too much. Shen Wangshu said nothing more, thinking about how the eldest lady had given birth to Chen Zhi given her current uterine coldness. This was really a strange thing.
The women in the harem use many sinister means. Is it possible that someone is secretly harming the first lady and making her unable to bear the pregnancy? After all, the eldest wife had many illegitimate children, which at least proved that Duke Rong was in good health.
She glanced around the eldest lady's room calmly, and was frowning as she wondered what had gone wrong when her nose suddenly started to itch. She frowned and couldn't help sneezing.
The eldest lady asked, "Did you catch a cold on the way here? I told you to keep the room warmer, but you young people didn't listen to me..."
The sweet smell lingered around his nose, and it seemed to have become more pungent since he came in. Shen Wangshu frowned and suddenly realized - was there something wrong with the fragrance in the room? I have watched so many palace fighting dramas in vain. I have doubted everything, but how come I couldn’t think of this level!
It is obvious that personal items used over the years are the easiest to tamper with and have the highest success rate for poisoning, so how could they have been overlooked?
Shen Wangshu asked, “Can I ask my aunt what kind of fragrance is in this room?”
The eldest lady was not a fool: "Are you suspecting that there is something wrong with the incense? Impossible, this incense dew is the exclusive secret recipe of the nanny in the house, and has been used for more than ten years. If there is a problem, how could no one notice it?"
"If it was easy for you to detect it, wouldn't your infertility have been cured long ago?" Shen Wangshu said, "Some chronic poisons need to accumulate over the years to have an effect."
"If you were born with this uterine coldness, how could you have given birth to sister Azhi?"
When she said this, the eldest lady's eyebrows also knitted together, and she murmured in a low voice: "Calculating the time, it seems that Madam Ping came to my room after giving birth to Zhiniang... Could it be her?"
"I can't guarantee it, niece-in-law. If it's convenient, please give me some perfume to study. I will ask my senior brother and other doctors to take a look at the ingredients of this perfume." Shen Wangshu said.
"Okay, take it back and have a look." The eldest lady had been through a lot, and even though she knew there might be a poisonous insect hiding next to her, she didn't get so angry that she lost her mind: "Take another look in my room, is there anything else that looks suspicious?"
Combining the methods used in various palace fighting dramas, Shen Wangshu screened pillows, mattresses, and personal sachets... There were no problems for the time being. The only doubt was about the exclusive secret perfume with unknown ingredients.
The eldest lady decisively broke off a piece for her to take back, and even let her take some of the ashes from the incense burner.
Before leaving the main courtyard, Shen Wangshu turned around to greet the eldest lady, and saw a strong murderous intent in her seemingly calm eyes.
Who in the main house does not want the eldest lady to get pregnant and give birth to a legitimate son?
This is really hard to guess.

In order to find the root cause of the first lady's infertility as soon as possible, Shen Wangshu called Zhang Dai, Doctor Wang in the mansion, and other powerful doctors in Moyun City to hold an expert consultation.
In addition to the doctors, she also invited the best perfume maker in the city. Due to limited conditions and the lack of professional machines, she could only use manpower to make up for the shortcomings.
Fortunately, although Nanny Ping's floral fragrance is a bit weird, the materials used are all common people have seen, and are much easier to analyze than Chen Ting's inhibitory drugs.
The next day, she sent the test report to the eldest lady. As for how the matter was handled later, that was the business of the eldest wife. Shen Wangshu did not join in the fun over there and still stayed in his own small courtyard.
When the plum blossoms were in full bloom in Chen Zhiyuan, the old lady who had been recuperating in Shijing Temple came back.
If nothing unexpected happens, the old lady will bring some surprises when she returns - the problem of the epidemic has been solved, and the next problem may not be far away.
There was no telling how chaotic things would get in the future, so Shen Wangshu took advantage of this period of time when his hands were feeling good and quickly performed the cataract surgery on the old lady using the golden needle technique.
The old lady trusted her very much, and probably had heard about the epidemic in the city, so she praised Shen Wangshu highly and let her give her acupuncture.
By the time the old lady finished the operation and her eyes were covered with white gauze and she began to recuperate - at this point, all the troubles known to Shen Wangshu from his God's perspective were solved.
Next, you can start preparing to fight the enemy attack.
