Chapter 38 -38: You witch!
In the room, Nanny had more trouble breathing out than in, but upon hearing the sudden noise, her eyes snapped open very quickly.
Seeing Chu Nanli, she trembled in horror and stammered, “Sorceress! Sorceress! What kind of sorcery have you used to trap me?”
Chu Nanli sneered, “You can still speak, it seems I haven’t been harsh enough.”
At these words, a flicker of fear passed through Nanny’s eyes.
Chu Nanli glanced at the bloodstains she had crawled out from and, with some disdain, threw a bottle of medicine her way.
“Eat it.”
Nanny dodged the medicine that was thrown at her, terrified, “You sorceress, what are you planning to use to torment me this time?”
Chu Nanli scoffed, “I had intended to give you a way out, but since you seek death, I won’t stop you. Once you breathe your last, I’ll just burn your body to ash, saving the trouble of it taking up space.”
Her space wasn’t infinitely large; having a body inside would inevitably be visible, which was rather disturbing.
Nanny’s aged face trembled as she looked doubtfully at Chu Nanli. Eventually, the desire to live made her grab the bottle, carefully pouring out a pill and stuffing it into her mouth.
After eating it, the piercing pain from her wounds eased in a matter of moments.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, almost bulging out.
“This, this, this…”

She immediately started pouring the bottle’s contents directly into her mouth.
Chu Nanli coldly said, “Fool.”
Nanny halted in her actions, a pill just entering her mouth got stuck in her throat, causing her eyes to roll back as she choked.
Chu Nanli watched coldly from the side, not making a move to help.
She had given a bottle of pills merely because the old woman still had some utility, but if the latter was foolish enough to hasten her own end, there was no need to intervene.
“Cough, cough, cough…” Nanny scraped at her throat desperately and finally managed to eject the pill, gasping for air like a dying fish.
Only then did Chu Nanli slowly speak, “If you want to live, just one pill a day will do; taking more is just hastening your own end.”
Having just narrowly escaped death, Nanny’s face was pale. No longer daring to act foolishly, she clutched the pill bottle closely, watching Chu Nanli with a mixture of confusion and horror.
Such a miraculous medicine that could stop pain so quickly was something even Bai Wuheng, the Divine Doctor, could not produce; who exactly was this sorceress?
Ever since that fire, Chu Nanli seemed to have become a different person. Had she been hiding her abilities before, or was she now possessed by some demon? How could she manage to relay a message to the Concubine?
Nanny’s mind raced with thoughts.
“You can’t get out of here, so stop concocting futile plans,” Chu Nanli could see what was on her mind and warned sharply, “It’d be best to behave, or I have ways to make death quite unpleasant for you.”
Intimidated by the coldness in her eyes and recalling the pain she had suffered before, Nanny shivered uncontrollably.
Chu Nanli showed her briefly how to use the faucet and toilet in the house, and these beyond-understanding items staggered Nanny from shock to blank bewilderment.
Before leaving, Chu Nanli said indifferently, “Clean up all the blood in the house. I don’t want to see it the next time I come here.”
With those words, she walked out and securely shut the door of the small house behind her.
Chu Nanli went to the adjacent room and took out the Breeding Box. Seeing that the fetus was doing well inside, she felt relieved.
She had her reasons for keeping Nanny around.
This fetus was one she had secretly kept. Before she could successfully leave the Prince Residence, it would likely have to remain hidden in this space. Even with a breeding box, she wasn’t completely at ease. If something unforeseen happened to the fetus, she might not realize it in time while outside.
If Nanny could serve her, at least she would be useful for caregiving within the space. Moreover, with the Breeding Box, the fetus wouldn’t need to develop for ten months to begin feeding and growing like a normally born infant.
Eventually, constant care would be necessary.
But right now, Nanny was not yet usable. She needed to be confined a while longer to let her accept the reality of her inescapable situation. Given Nanny’s fear of death, she would eventually be willing to work for her.
Gathering her thoughts, Chu Nanli took out a nutrient injection and administered it into the Breeding Box.
My dear child, eat well and grow healthy.
Chu Nanli’s eyes filled with tenderness.
As for Nanny, let her starve.
