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

"I'm not giving you acupuncture for treatment, but to stimulate the Duke's wife to defecate. If acupuncture doesn't work, I'll have to give you an enema." The female doctor explained patiently.

"Madam Wei, we just finished eating, why do we need to stimulate bowel movements?" Shen Jingwan was on the verge of collapse.

Her mood went up and down like a roller coaster, and she was emotionally broken to the extreme.

"My cousin, I don't understand this. If the food residues are not excreted, how can the rice porridge just fed to the Duke's wife enter her stomach and how can she absorb the nutrients?" The doctor's words were like a bolt from the blue, shattering Shen Jingwan's last hope.

Sure enough, just as the female doctor was removing the needle, Shen Jingwan smelled a foul odor again, and the mattress under the Duke's wife was soaked.

The smell was pungent and unbearable.

"Cousin, please come in." Nanny Wei, who was sitting beside her, ordered.

Shen Jingwan pointed a finger at herself and said, "I do it? Isn't this a servant's job?" Shen Jingwan gritted her teeth.

Nanny Wei rolled her eyes and said, "The eldest lady said that you have to do everything yourself. Otherwise, I will go and tell the eldest lady that you are not capable of serving others, so you'd better not show off." Nanny Wei shrugged helplessly.

"No need, leave it there, I'll do it." Shen Jingwan said gritting her teeth.

By the time Shen Jingwan finished washing the Duke's wife's body and changed the bedding with the help of the maid, she was already sweating from exhaustion.

Sweat soaked her clothes, and every step seemed extremely heavy.

As soon as Shen Jingwan sat down, a maid brought her food.

The food was placed on the tray, a bowl of millet porridge, a white steamed bun, and a plate of food fried like feces, which reminded people of the worst situation.

Shen Chuning began to dry heave again. Pointing at the plate of food that looked like feces, she angrily asked, "What is this? Is this what the Duke's Mansion is supposed to be eating?"

There was a sense of disbelief and deep disgust in Shen Jingwan's voice.

The maid serving the meal glanced at Shen Jingwan impatiently, with a look of disdain and contempt in her eyes.

"Miss, you're not very knowledgeable, so don't talk nonsense. This is Thunder God Mushroom, also known as Golden Top Mushroom. It's a rare treasure unique to the South, rich in nutrients and delicious. It was specially sent here from those farms in the south."

After the maid finished explaining to Shen Jingwan, she muttered softly, "After all, she was raised outside since she was young. She really doesn't know what she's talking about."

Shen Jingwan no longer had the energy to refute the maid.

"Madam Wei, can I go out for dinner?" Shen Jingwan asked tentatively.

Nanny Wei glanced at her, her tone tinged with dissatisfaction. "Cousin, do you dislike our Duke's wife? Why can't you even eat in the room? You kicked all the maids out the moment you arrived. If anything happens to the Duke's wife and you're not around, who will take responsibility?"

Nanny Wei was quite resentful. Originally, there were only a few maids in the Duke's wife's room, and it was enough for her to go into the room occasionally to take care of some trivial matters.

But she didn't expect that when Shen Jingwan came, she said she wanted to do it herself and didn't need the maid. She said she just wanted her to give guidance, but in fact she still had to help herself. Wei Ma was very unhappy.

"Then put it here first, I'll eat it later." Shen Jingwan glanced at the so-called thunder mushroom again, quickly closed her eyes and turned her head away.

"My cousin, please eat quickly. The Duke's wife will need to take medicine later. Don't wait until the medicine gets cold before you finish it." Just as Wei Ma Ma finished her words, a little maid came in with a bowl of medicine.

"Madam Wei, is the Duke's wife eating too frequently?" Shen Jingwan asked coldly.

"It's not that frequent. Last time I drank porridge, and now it's time to take medicine. What's the problem? Besides, these medicines are prescribed by the palace physician and must be taken at the prescribed time. Not a minute earlier or later. Cousin, please come quickly. If the medicine gets cold and affects its effectiveness, neither you nor I can afford it."

Shen Jingwan could only stand up helplessly and walk to the Duke's wife's bed, carefully wrapped her hands with a handkerchief, and then carefully put them into the Duke's wife's mouth.

Although the handkerchief had been wrapped, Shen Jingwan still felt a sharp pain because the bite wound had not yet healed completely, causing her to break out in a cold sweat involuntarily.

Day after day, Shen Jingwan served the Duke of Qingguo, then took care of his food and drink, and then took care of his defecation and urination. She had been in the Duke of Qingguo's mansion for three days, and her body and mind were exhausted.

Whenever she wanted to give up, Nanny Wei would whisper in her ear, "Miss, you can't pretend anymore!"

Shen Jingwan hoped that all her previous efforts would be rewarded, so she could only grit her teeth and persevere.

Mrs. Shen San had brought Ziyuan to see her twice. Each time she came and left in a hurry. Apart from Ziyuan prescribing some additional medicine, which increased her workload, she did not provide any other help to her.

The Shen family acted as if she had never existed. She had been in the Duke of Qing's Mansion for three days, and no one in the Shen family thought of taking her home.

Shen Jingwan thought that if the Duke's wife died like this, it would at least be much better than suffering every day, and she would also be relieved.

Shen Jingwan felt that she had successfully conquered the two daughters-in-law of the Qin family. If the Duke's wife passed away, it would be Madam Qin who would be in charge of the family. Then it would be easier for her to handle the relationship with the Duke of Qing's Mansion and get some help from the Duke of Qing's Mansion.

Shen Jingwan increasingly felt that her idea was feasible.

She had been patrolling the house, searching for anything that could be used to cause a fatal injury without leaving any obvious trace.

Finally, she turned her attention to a piece of jadeite rough stone on the antique shelf.

This piece of jadeite is of moderate size and perfect hardness, so it won't break easily. When it is wrapped with a layer of cloth, it won't leave any obvious scars even if it hits the Duke's wife on the head.

Moreover, the Duchess's wife was unconscious due to a head injury from a fall. As long as she could accurately target the wound, no one should be able to notice.

That day, Shen Jingwan finally found a gap between eating, drinking, and defecating.

Nanny Wei had a stomachache and needed to go to the toilet, so she asked Shen Jingwan to cheer up and take good care of the Duke's wife, which gave Shen Jingwan some breathing space.

Shen Jingwan walked to the antique display cabinet, took down the raw stone, found a coat of the Duke's wife to wrap it up, and quietly walked to the Duke's wife's bed.

She called out "The Duke's Wife" twice in a low voice and gently pushed her to make sure she showed no signs of waking up.

Shen Jingwan raised the stone and smashed it mercilessly on the wound on the Duke's wife's head.

"what--"
