The Princess of Northern Land

"Madam, please don’t talk like this. You will surely live to a ripe old age," Nanny Qilan rallied together a cheerful demeanor in an attempt to convince her.

"You’ve been following me since you were eight, enduring so many hardships over the years on my behalf. Despite our master-servant relationship, I’ve always seen you as a sister. But looking at the possessions in this residence, I fear that after my departure, they won’t show you any kindness." As she spoke, the old lady’s tears increasingly streamed down her face.

Ever since she lost her daughter and her husband died, the old lady had been unable to shed tears. But now, all of her bitterness was pouring out with her tears, perhaps this was a kind of release at the time of death. "I want to entrust you to the Prince. Only he, remembering how you served me, would be kind to you. Both the Prince and his wife are good-hearted people; they will definitely not mistreat you."

"Madam, please stop. Your servant isn’t going anywhere; I will always be by your side. Wherever you go, I will also go. And don’t even think about entrusting your servant to the Prince and his wife. Your servant is already old and would only cause trouble in the Wang Residence." Nanny Qilan cried even harder. Being an orphan from a young age and following the old lady for many years, she saw her not only as her master but also her closest family.

"I know my own body. The Prince and his wife are kind-hearted. As long as you treat them well, they will never forget your kindness. Unlike the ingrates in this residence. I’ve failed the Marquis, raising them to be this way. Over the years, I’ve always felt a sense of guilt for bringing them to the Northern Land, so I’ve turned a blind eye to some things. Little did I think they would become more and more presumptuous. It’s all my fault." After finishing her statement, the old lady cried until she was short of breath.

Fearing that she would get upset, Nanny Qilan quickly distracted her. "Your servant will listen to the Madam fully and follow the Prince and his wife in the future."

Upon hearing this, the old lady’s crying lessened. "With you by their side, I can be at ease after I’m gone."

To make her happy, Nanny Qilan gave her a forced smile. "Although your servant might not be able to do other things, I can at least help you watch over the Little Prince."
