Chapter 20 Punishment
Empress Dowager Yan Ping was slightly startled, the girl whom she had never taken to heart before, now caught her eye for the first time.
"Empress Dowager, Fu Dong and Nian Xia were given to me by my father, they are not my people. If the Empress Dowager wants someone, she needs to speak to my father." Zheng Nianru lowered her head, her voice weak with fear, yet as if she had no choice but to speak up for her sisters.
Seeing this, Empress Dowager Yan Ping snorted coldly in her heart; what presence could a person who has never left the Qishun Building have?
Nanny Yun immediately fell to the ground with a plop.
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, you are a great Bodhisattva, please have mercy on our Commandery Princess. Our Commandery Princess has been without parents since she was young, and now she only has these two maids who have been with her since childhood. Once they leave, almost all the chores of cleaning and cooking in Qishun Building must be done by herself. Your Majesty, with your compassionate heart, the Commandery Princess cannot be without these two maids..."
"How dare you, what gives you the right to speak here?" Nanny Du harshly interrupted Nanny Yun’s words.
"Your Majesty the Empress Dowager, you can’t do this, if Prince Duan finds out..."
Empress Dowager Yan Ping immediately felt irritated. What was she thinking, bringing up these two palace maids for no reason; all this talk about Prince Duan again and again...
"Forget it, let’s return to the Imperial Palace—"
"Lift the palanquin." Nanny Du immediately had her attendants help Empress Dowager Yan Ping into her palanquin.
Nanny Yun quickly got up, making sure the Empress Dowager had really left before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
