Chapter 129: Chapter 130: Encountering Morning Sickness

"The growth isn’t bad, just lacking a bit of sunlight. It can’t stay in the shade anymore; it must be placed in the middle of the courtyard, and the position of the potted plants should be adjusted daily according to the intensity of the sunlight," Chu Nanli instructed.

Yanyan had just finished watering when she heard her speak and realized she had returned.

"Mistress!"

Seeing that Chu Yi had also arrived, she greeted him.

"Big Brother Chu."

Chu Yi nodded slightly and said, "Inside here are the medicinal herbs the mistress needs and the clothes Xinlian prepared for the mistress. Where should I put them?"

There were no other servants in the courtyard, so Chu Yi did not avoid mentioning Xinlian’s name.

"Come with me," Yanyan said before turning to Chu Nanli, "Mistress, I will take Big Brother Chu inside to put away the things first."

"Hmm, go ahead."

After Yanyan took Chu Yi inside, Chu Nanli moved all the potted plants to the sunniest spot in the courtyard.

These few medicinal plants thrived in heat and required strong sunlight; the stronger the light, the more potent their medicinal properties.

When Yanyan came out, she saw that all the medicinal plants had been moved to the center of the courtyard and hurriedly said, "Mistress, why didn’t you rest? I could have done this myself."

"It’s just a bit of work. I’m not so delicate," said Chu Nanli. After letting Chu Yi head back first, she turned to Yanyan and said, "Let me teach you a few things."

At these words, Yanyan’s eyes lit up, and she quickly nodded in agreement.

Chu Nanli said, "Some medicinal plants benefit from being planted next to each other. For instance, you can plant a Fu scoop next to this one to help them ripen together and enhance their properties."

Yanyan was amazed.

"That’s amazing?"

Chu Nanli, smiling, said, "Yes, medicinal plants are quite fascinating. The more you know, the more astonished you’ll be by nature’s wonders."

She then moved on to another plant and said, "This one exudes a scent that humans can’t detect, but other plants can sense this smell. It suppresses the growth of other medicinal plants and even attracts pests that nibble on them. It’s a survival tactic, ensuring its own growing environment remains safe by causing mischief elsewhere."

"So, you must place this plant far from the others."

Yanyan, utterly fascinated, listened with keen interest.

Seeing this, Chu Nanli could not help but feel reassured.

She had been worried that Yanyan was stubbornly learning this only because of her, but seeing that Yanyan genuinely enjoyed handling the medicinal plants and was willing to learn from the bottom of her heart, she felt at ease.

Outside.

"Mistress, aren’t we going inside?"

Dong Yue, supporting Lin Fuying, asked softly.

Lin Fuying’s gaze fell on Chu Nanli’s cheerful face.

The courtyard was bathed in broad sunlight, the woman squatting in the yard seemed favored by light, the sun tinting her hair golden and making her complexion even more porcelain-white.

When speaking about the medicinal plants, her whole being exuded an attractive ease and confidence.

Lin Fuying’s eyes gradually darkened.

When on earth did that wretched Chu Nanli learn medical skills? She was utterly unaware.

It’s impossible for one to gain such impressive medical skills in a short time. Chu Nanli had certainly been hiding her skills!

It seems, even when she was good to her in the past, she did not share everything with her.

Selfish wretch, deserving of death!

Lin Fuying was about to step forward but just then saw Chu Nanli’s expression change as she covered her mouth, seemingly gagging.

"Mistress, let me help you inside to rest,"

Yanyan’s voice came out.

Lin Fuying, seeing the master and servant getting up, quickly pulled Dong Yue back to hide, and only after Chu Nanli and another entered the house did she breathe a sigh of relief.

Lin Fuying’s eyes held a thoughtful look.

"Dong Yue, did Chu Nanli just vomit?"

"Yes. I suppose she just wants to pretend to be ill so the servants report it to the Prince, hoping to gain his pity," Dong Yue said resentfully, disparagingly, "She must be jealous of the special attention you receive from the Prince because you are frail, and she wants to imitate you."

Dong Yue’s rant barely registered with Lin Fuying, who was pondering another possibility.

"Come, let’s find Wuhen brother. I have something to ask him."

Hearing this, although Dong Yue found it strange, she did not think much of it and nodded in agreement.

"Yes."
