[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Yun Shu said something to Rong Enqing and then rushed to the County Lord's Mansion in a hurry.

When the gatekeeper heard about Yun Shu's identity and purpose, his original politeness and distance suddenly became more intimate and sincere. He immediately called a little girl and took Yun Shu directly to the courtyard of Anyang County Lord.

This is the first friend their county princess made after coming to Beijing!

As soon as Yun Shu walked into the main courtyard of the County Lady's Mansion, she saw a maid kneeling in the courtyard with her hands raised above her head and a washbasin in her hands.

The maid had her back to the door, so Yun Shu couldn't see her face, but the clothes she was wearing looked familiar to Yun Shu.

Isn’t she the girl Tingqin who accompanied Princess Anyang to a banquet at the Duke of Anguo’s Mansion not long ago?

When she got closer, Yun Shu discovered that Tingqin was kneeling on the bluestone slab, and the basin above his head was also full of water.

"Miss Tingqin?" Yun Shu asked with concern, "Are you okay? How long have you been kneeling here? I'll help you plead with the county lady later."

Tingqin looked up at Yunshu with a bitter face and explained in a low voice: "It was Nanny Zhou who punished me. It's no use looking for the county lady. The county lady is also kneeling in front of the tablets of the master and the mistress now."

Yun Shu was speechless for a moment, but at the same time she became extremely curious about the Madam Zhou that Tingqin mentioned.

She had heard from the county lady before that Ruhua was punished by Madam Zhou when she returned from Shun'an Marquis's residence last time. The county lady also saw Tingqin being punished to kneel. Even someone as powerful as the county lady was punished to kneel by Madam Zhou!

So what kind of powerful person is this Nanny Zhou?

During this delay, the maid who brought Yun Shu in ran into the house to inform her of her arrival.

Soon, a slim young woman with delicate features came out of the house.

The woman was dressed very respectably and looked to be in her thirties. If nothing unexpected happened, this woman should be Aunt Zhou.

"Madame Zhou, please forgive me for my intrusive visit." Yun Shu took the initiative to greet her, but her eyes were fixed on the old woman in front of her without blinking.

She had heard from the county lady that Madam Zhou was the wet nurse of the county lady's mother, which means she was of the same generation as the county lady's grandmother. Therefore, Madam Zhou was definitely much older than her thirties!

Wow, it’s so well maintained!

However, why did this Madam Zhou in front of her look more and more familiar to her? She felt as if she had seen her somewhere before?

"Miss Yun is well." Madam Zhou bowed and saluted. "I wonder why Miss Yun is looking at me like that?"

Yun Shu frowned in confusion, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Madam Zhou, have we met before?"

Nanny Zhou also asked curiously, "Why does Miss Yun ask this?"

Yun Shu bit her lip and frowned, "I think Madam Zhou looks familiar."

At this moment, Princess Anyang, who had been punished to kneel and needed to change her clothes and tidy up her appearance, finally came out from the inner room.

However, perhaps because my legs have not recovered yet, I walk a little slowly and my walking posture is a little awkward.

After hearing Yun Shu's words, Princess Anyang also tilted her head and looked at Nanny Zhou carefully.

Suddenly, Princess Anyang showed an incredible expression on her face, and shouted in amazement: "Yun Shu, look, doesn't Madam Zhou look a bit like Madam Tai?"

After being reminded by Anyang County Lady, Yun Shu looked at Nanny Zhou carefully again. As expected, "She looks like me! The more I look, the more she looks like me! Nanny Zhou really looks like my mother! However, my mother looks much older than Nanny Zhou, and she is also much fatter than Nanny Zhou."

Princess Anyang also nodded repeatedly, "Madame Zhou looks younger and prettier than the Madam."

Receiving Nanny An's warning look, Princess Anyang quickly covered her mouth and whispered to Yun Shu, "Don't tell the Madam that I talked about her behind her back!"

Yun Shu smiled and nodded, giving Princess Anyang a reassuring look, "Don't worry, I won't tell."

The two smiled at each other and looked at Nanny Zhou again.

"Mammy, are you really just a peasant girl? Could you be the lost sister of the Madam's family?"

Princess Anyang looked at Nanny Zhou with expectation.

Nanny Zhou looked at Princess Anyang unhappily, "I'm already over fifty, why am I still pursuing those things? Anyway, I can't leave Princess Anyang's side for the rest of my life. Princess Anyang should stop thinking about these things. Just focus on entertaining Miss Yun."

Princess Anyang shrank her neck, put on a smile, then took Yun Shu's hand and walked towards the hall.

"Shouldn't you have just returned to the Marquis' Mansion? Why are you here again so soon?"

"To be honest, my mother and I just returned home and found that something happened. I came here specifically to ask the county lord for help." Yun Shu smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly and embarrassedly explained the matter of Yun Luo's injury, and also stated the purpose of her visit.

When the county lady heard that Yun Shu was here to borrow a doctor, she did not refuse, "You really came. When I came to the capital from Datong Prefecture, I actually brought a doctor with me who has good medical skills. I can't say anything else, but it's no problem for him to treat some external injuries."

Then, he instructed Madam Zhou, "Madam, ask Doctor Sun to accompany Miss Yun Wu to the Marquis' Mansion to take a look."

"Yes." Nanny Zhou responded and hurried to the door to arrange for the maid to notify Doctor Sun to wait at the door and follow Miss Yun Wu to the Marquis' Mansion when she returned.

After a short while of arranging things, Nanny Zhou turned back and heard her own county mistress say to Miss Yun in a heroic manner, "Yun Shu, don't worry. If Doctor Sun can't cure it, I will go to the palace tomorrow to ask the Empress Dowager to send you a few doctors. I don't believe that a small scar can't be cured."

Nanny Zhou was tired and resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She reminded her, "County Lady, it's getting late. Let Miss Yun take Doctor Sun back quickly. The sooner the doctor can treat her, the sooner we can get a conclusion on the girl's injury, right?"

"Ah, yes! Yunshu, take Doctor Sun back to see your niece. I won't keep you any longer." Princess Anyang quickly stood up to see them off.

Yun Shu was indeed concerned about Yun Luo's injury, so she thanked the county lady and was about to leave.

However, when she walked out of the hall and saw Tingqin still kneeling upright on the bluestone floor, Yunshu could not help but plead, "County Lady, when Yunshu came here, Miss Tingqin was already kneeling here. Can Yunshu dare to ask for mercy for Miss Tingqin?"

The eyes of Anyang County Lady lit up, and just as she was about to ask Tingqin to get up, she heard the sound of "cough cough" from Nanny Zhou behind her. Her eyes darkened, and she said with a frustrated look: "Tingqin's guards were not good enough, and I was in danger. I have to punish him. Alas, Yunshu, you should stop worrying about Tingqin and go back to heal your niece."

Yun Shu looked at Princess Anyang with sympathy, then looked at Tingqin apologetically, and stopped meddling in other people's business, and hurried back to the Shun'an Marquis' Mansion with her people.

After sending the people away, Princess Anyang glared at Madam Zhou unhappily and said, "Madam, why don't you give me any face in front of my friends?" She originally wanted to follow Yun Shu's words and spare Ting Qin. But...

Nanny Zhou glared back at Princess Anyang and said coldly, "You should go back and continue kneeling."

Princess Anyang pointed at her nose in astonishment and asked, "Mammy, do I still have to kneel?"

Madam Zhou glanced at her, then looked at Tingqin and said, "You don't have to kneel. Tingqin's kneeling punishment will be extended by two days."

Hearing what Madam Zhou said, Tingqin's body swayed and she almost fell off her knees. Although she managed to stabilize herself in time, some of the water in the wooden basin on her head still spilled out, giving her a chill.

Princess Anyang also looked at Nanny Zhou in astonishment.

Madam Zhou made her kneel in front of her parents' tablets for two hours. As a result, when it came to Tingqin, it became two days! ? Dark! Really dark!

"Oh, forget it. I'll just go on kneeling."
