Chapter 586 - 565 First Update
Nanny Yun felt that no matter who it was, it didn’t matter now. Merely appearing in this place and catching the Empress’s attention could be considered a good deed.
Nanny Yun hadn’t failed to notice Zheng Nianru’s declining spirits during these days. Nanny Yun understood, but the only consolation was that, fortunately, the Empress had not been subjected to the constraints of female morals from childhood. If she had been raised like other daughters of the Aristocratic Gentry Clans, she would have been washing her face with tears day in and day out, seeking death in despair.
This was merely a lack of worldly suffering.
From childhood, Nanny Yun and Lady Ru had been abandoned in a fleeing crowd, only six or seven years old at the time. They faced hunger and cold, with corpses scattered all around. That year, countless people died in the chaos within Nanmen State. They survived among piles of bodies, eating what they could find there, and walked out of the Valley of the Dead barefoot during the freezing winter. Fortunately, they were blessed. They made it to the city and were taken in by a Nanny at the Art House.
All they wished for was a meal to eat and a place to sleep that could shelter them from the wind and rain. They were deeply grateful to the Nanny.
Therefore, even serving men, in their eyes, compared to the times they had slept in the embrace of dead bodies and in wild dog dens, felt like days in paradise.
Those days had become so distant that Nanny Yun could barely recall them, as if a knife had brutally slashed her chest, leaving a scar that had healed by now, only leaving behind painful memories and that hideous scar.
So, in the face of living, those things were insignificant.
"Empress, the servant thinks he looks like a guard," Nanny Yun said casually while giving Fu Dong a sly wink. "Look at that waist, he must be a fine man, the Empress should trust my judgment in men," Nanny Yun added.
"Nanny Yun, you always say your eyesight is poor, yet now you see men very clearly," Fu Dong, having received Nanny Yun’s message, jokingly teased her.
