Dad, open the door. I'll bring your mistress back for you.

Chapter 91 Shooting yourself in the foot

"Grandma is ill, and Wan'er should be at her bedside to show her filial piety."

Madam Qin had a strange expression on her face when she heard Shen Jingwan's words. "You don't have to do everything yourself. Just let the little maid do some things. I believe your grandmother will be able to feel your filial piety."

Shen Jingwan retorted, "How can that be possible? How can servants serve with the same care and dedication as family members? Besides, my aunt just said that when Mom was sick as a child, it was Grandma who took care of her day and night. Wan'er is serving Grandma now. Not only is she being filial to her grandmother, but she is also being filial to Mom."

Her words revealed determination and perseverance, as if she wanted to prove her filial piety with actions.

Mrs. Shen San thought about how Shen Chuning didn't like to follow her back to the Duke of Qing's Mansion before, not to mention being filial to her. She looked at Shen Jingwan with emotion, her eyes red. Wan'er was still considerate.

"Sister Qimei has found a good daughter. She is obedient, sensible and filial. Good fortune is yet to come for your sister." Madam Qin Er held back Madam Qin Da who wanted to persuade her again.

"My eldest and second aunts have been tired these days. Now that Wan'er is back, you two aunts can take a break. Wan'er will take care of everything." Shen Jingwan did not forget to express her loyalty to the two ladies of the Qin family.

"Do you want us to send a maid to help you?" Madam Qin was worried about whether Shen Jingwan had the physical strength and energy to do the job.

"No need, aunt. Just arrange an experienced nanny to guide Wan'er." Shen Jingwan tried her best to show herself and she tried hard to maintain a smile on her face.

She had seen coma many times on TV. People just lay there unconscious, not eating, drinking or defecating, and only turned over occasionally to prevent bedsores. This job was too easy.

Want to send a little maid to supervise her? Shen Jingwan would not allow such a thing to happen. At most, she would let a nanny teach her what to do. The rest of the time, she could do whatever she wanted behind closed doors and still have a good reputation.

She firmly believed that as long as she acted carefully, no one would discover her little plan.

But her fantasies were all shattered when she entered the courtyard of the Duke's wife. When she stepped into the courtyard, a foul stench hit her nose, making it almost impossible to breathe.

"Madam Wei, this is the second aunt's newly adopted daughter, Shen Jingwan. She volunteered to come to the old lady to fulfill her filial duties. Wan'er said that she wants to do everything by herself. You just need to guide her from the side." Madam Qin instructed Madam Wei who was beside the Duke's wife at the gate of the courtyard.

Nanny Wei frowned, obviously puzzled by such a request. The ladies of wealthy families usually only needed to visit the Duke twice a day, and the rest of the work was left to the servants. How could a lady ask to do it herself, especially in the case of the Duke's wife?

"I understand, cousin, please follow me." After saying this, Nanny Wei took Shen Jingwan into the main courtyard of the Duke's Mansion.

Madam Qin Da and Madam Qin Er were about to leave, but they saw Qin Qimei pacing at the gate of the main courtyard, and they didn't know whether they should go in.

"Sister Qimei is so lucky. Someone is taking care of your filial piety. Why are you still stuck here?" said Madam Qin.

Although Madam Qin's words were tactful, they also revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.

Qin Qimei looked at the situation in the yard again and smelled the smell in the air, but in the end she didn't have the courage to take another step forward.

Shen Jingwan watched the basins of feces the maids brought out from the room and leaned against the wall, retching. It was an indescribable smell, a mixture of sweat, fishy odor, and even an indescribable rancid stench that made her want to vomit.

Nanny Wei saw this and shook her head, looking down on Shen Jingwan, "Miss, if you don't adapt, you can leave. I will report this to the Madam." Nanny Wei's attitude was cold, and she didn't give Shen Jingwan any preferential treatment just because she was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

This is how they treated Qin Qimei in the past. Since it was a child Qin Qimei brought back, she should be treated equally.

Shen Jingwan crumpled up two pieces of paper and stuffed them into her nostrils. "It's okay, let's go." Shen Jingwan crumpled up two pieces of paper and stuffed them into her nostrils. She took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.

The maids in the room were making the bed for the Duke's wife. Shen Jingwan asked, "Madam Wei, grandma has been in a coma for a few days. How can she still... how can she still..."

Shen Jingwan wanted to ask how the wife of Duke Qing could still defecate after not eating or drinking for such a long time, but she really couldn't open her mouth.

Nanny Wei glanced at Shen Jingwan with disdain. "Although the Duke's wife is in a coma, she still needs to be pried open and fed some medicine and rice porridge every hour. She can't be deprived of nutrition while she's in a coma, so she has to be fed more frequently." Nanny Wei explained, her voice full of unquestionable authority.

"When feeding her medicine and rice porridge, you can't always use chopsticks to hold it up, as it will hurt the Duke's wife's teeth. You need to pry her mouth open and put your hand into her mouth, letting her bite it. Then take your hand out after feeding her."

"Since the eldest lady said that my cousin should do everything herself, let's start with this matter after we finish cleaning up," added Nanny Wei.

Shen Jingwan ignored the fact that the coma she had seen before did not happen in this dynasty. At that time, medical technology was advanced, and there were nasogastric tubes or nutrient solutions, so there was no need for feeding in this way. There were also catheters for excretion, so to outsiders, it looked like the person was completely asleep.

She couldn't understand why such a simple thing had become so complicated in this day and age.

Nanny Wei pried open the Duke's wife's mouth, and Shen Jingwan trembled as she reached her hand into the Duke's wife's mouth. As soon as Nanny Wei pulled the chopsticks away, the Duke's wife bit down hard with her teeth, and Shen Jingwan almost cried out in pain.

The pain is not just physical, it is more of a psychological torture.

After finally feeding the porridge, when Shen Jingwan pulled her hand out, the skin was a little broken where the teeth marks were.

Nanny Wei looked at the bleeding gums on Shen Jingwan's hands and said as if she had just remembered, "I forgot to tell my cousin that you can wrap a handkerchief around your hands so that they won't get hurt so easily."

"Did you do this on purpose?" Shen Jingwan glared at Wei Ma fiercely, with sparks of anger flashing in her eyes.

"How dare I? It's just that I had too many things to do and forgot for a moment." Nanny Wei showed an appropriate smile.

Shen Jingwan turned and walked to the basin in the corner of the house to wash her hands. At this time, a female doctor came in and prepared to give the Duke's wife an acupuncture.

"Doctor, are you here to treat my grandmother?" Shen Jingwan asked.

"Cousin, please excuse me. I am just a female doctor who has some knowledge of acupuncture. I am not giving you acupuncture for treatment, but to stimulate your wife's bowel movements by inserting the needles into her Baihui and Guanyuan points," the female doctor explained patiently.
