The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Only after seeing the two people piercing the county lady's ears did Wang Ma slow down her pace. Shen Jiarou, who was about to faint from the pain, was completely unaware of her arrival.

Zheng Shutong was trembling with fear as he put on the clothes, while Zhang Zirou gently comforted Shen Jiarou.

None of the three of them noticed that Nanny Wang had arrived.

Zheng Shutong was still trying hard to pierce her ears. Blood was flowing from Shen Jiarou's ears, which made Zheng Shutong feel a little bit sorry for her.

She looked up at Zhang Zirou who was comforting the county lady, "Zirou, the county lady has lost a lot of blood."

Zhang Zirou closed her eyes and said cruelly, "Keep going, or the county lady will have to suffer again. Let's get it done in one go."

But they completely forgot that Shen Jiarou still had an ear, and she would suffer again no matter what.

After half an hour of hard work, Shen Jiarou's ear was completed, and Zheng Shutong collapsed on the stool exhausted.

"Phew, it's finally okay."

Zhen Luosang lay in the house for two days and could not bear it any longer, so she came to the main courtyard. As soon as she walked into the house, she found Nanny Wang standing in front of her motionless.

"This servant greets Nanny Wang."

The three were shocked when they heard this and turned to look at Nanny Wang who had been staring at them.

Zhang Zirou and Zheng Shutong bowed respectfully and said, "This servant greets Nanny Wang."

Shen Jiarou gently stroked her aching ear. "Madame Wang, why are you here?"

Seeing that everyone had been discovered, Nanny Wang hurried forward.

"County Master, are you okay?"

Shen Jiarou smiled bitterly, "It's okay, it's okay."

But Nanny Wang's next words frightened her so much that she screamed and stood up.

"County Lady, please pierce your other ear as well."

"Oh, forget it, I won't suffer this anymore."

She is so difficult.

Nanny Wang looked at Zhang Zirou and Zheng Shutong in embarrassment. The two looked at each other, then turned and looked at the county lady tenderly.

"County Lady, why don't you pierce your other ear as well?"

Shen Jiarou quickly waved her hands and said, "I don't want it. It hurts so much."

She doesn't want beauty anymore, she just wants her life.

No matter how everyone tried to persuade her, Shen Jiarou was unwilling to pierce her ears again. Helplessly, the three of them had to give up.

Five days later, Shen Jiarou's ear pain went away. Under everyone's expectant gaze, Ruan Qingling put silver earrings on Shen Jiarou.

Shen Jiarou grabbed Madam He's sleeve in pain and said, "It hurts."

Oh my god, this is so sour.

After Ruan Qingling put it on, Shen Jiarou was still tense.

Zhen Luosang saw that the county lady still had her eyes closed and spoke quickly.

"County Master, it's done."

Shen Jiarou tentatively opened one eye and picked up the bronze mirror.

"Hey, that's great."

Suddenly she remembered something, "Has it been disinfected?"

Everyone shook their heads, and Ruan Qingling hurriedly wet a handkerchief and wiped the county lady's ear holes to disinfect them.

Shen Jiarou closed her eyes in pain, and when her ears were not wiped, she opened her eyes.

"Sister Qingling, couldn't you just say something?" She was so pitiful.

Ruan Qingling was shocked and realized that she had forgotten to inform the county lady.

"County Lady, I didn't mean it."

Seeing this, Nanny He quickly comforted her, "Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's okay, it's on now."

The jewelry Ruan Qingling put on her was pure silver, which would not cause itching or inflammation.

Shen Jiarou picked up the bronze mirror again and found that the ear with the earring looked pretty good.

Su Yuwan and Xie Lianxiang were asking for a meeting outside the door. Upon hearing the report, Shen Jiarou hurriedly asked someone to come in.

As soon as she saw the two of them, Shen Jiarou showed off her earrings.

"Master's wife, come and take a look at my earrings. Do they look good?"

Su Yuwan walked over to watch and nodded, "Well, not bad, but it would look better if you wore it on both sides."

Xie Lianxiang thought the same thing after hearing this.

"Yes, mother is right. Sister-in-law, why don't you put on the other ear as well?"

Thinking of the pain that day, Shen Jiarou quickly waved her hands.

"Next time, I'm not ready yet."

When everyone heard this, they covered their faces and laughed. Even Nanny He couldn't help but chuckle and cover her face.

Bao Zhiqing saw the man in armor and asked in confusion.

"May I ask you are?"

"Hello, I am General Wude, the governor of Xuzhou. Please let me know that I would like to see the county lady."

Bao Zhiqing was stunned. Wasn't General Wude a fifth-rank official? Why did he suddenly come to their county lady's mansion?

"Wait a moment, I will send you to report to the county lady."

There were sounds of laughter and joy in the room until the maid reported.

"County Lady, guards are outside the mansion. General Wude wants to see you."

Hearing this, Shen Jiarou looked up and looked at everyone else in surprise.

"General Wude?" How is their mansion related to the general?

In the main hall, Shen Jiarou looked at General Wude who was sitting in a majestic posture.

"Are you General Wude?"

Upon hearing this, Xuzhou Zhi quickly stood up and saluted her.

"I, the governor of Xuzhou, am here to see the county princess." Why is the county princess so young? She looks like she is only seven or eight years old.

"No gift."

"Thank you, County Lord."

Ruan Qingling helped Shen Jiarou sit down in the main seat. She looked up at the man in front of her, but couldn't think of where she had seen him before.

"Have we met before?"

Xuzhou Zhi shook his head and said, "No."

"Oh, then why did the general come to see this county lady?"

Xu Zhouzhi seemed to be hesitant to talk, and Shen Jiarou frowned slightly when she saw him hesitating.

"It's okay, just say it."

"I am here on the orders of the general to borrow grain from the county lady in the name of the imperial court."

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned.

"What do you mean? If the military camp is short of food, the court should send food."

Xuzhou Zhi raised his head in embarrassment and said, "It's a long story. There has been a war on the border. The Ministry of Revenue said that the people's harvest was not good. There is a shortage of food at present, and the court has no food either."

He was a little embarrassed to continue.

Shen Jiarou didn't say anything and continued to look at Xu Zhouzhi.

Seeing that the county lady didn't say anything, the governor of Xuzhou had no choice but to continue.

"Our general heard that you have two counties in your fiefdom, so he ordered us to come and borrow food."

Shen Jiarou understood.

"Who is your general?"

When Xuzhou Zhi saw her asking the question, he quickly explained, "General Dingyuan, third rank."

When Nanny Wang and Nanny Su heard that a general wanted to see their county lady, they immediately put down their work and rushed over.

"This old servant greets the county lady."

Shen Jiarou smiled faintly, "Madame Wang, Madame Su, please excuse me. This is General Wude, General Xu."

The two of them went to Xuzhou to perform the ceremony, "This old servant greets General Wude and General Xu."

The Xuzhou magistrate nodded slightly. He thought that they were probably making decisions for the county lord, after all, she was young.

Shen Jiarou glanced at Nanny He, who understood and explained to the two of them.

"Madame Wang, Madame Su, General Xu said that the court is short of food, and their general wants us to borrow some."

The two were stunned and looked at each other when they heard this.

Shen Jiarou smiled gently, "Madame Wang, Madame Su, please sit down first. Since General Xu has brought up this matter, let's discuss it together."

Xuzhou Zhiyi felt that there was hope and felt a little relieved when he heard it.

Nanny Wang looked at the governor of Xuzhou.

"May I ask, General, how many people are there in the army now, and how much food do they need?"

Then she looked at the county lady and said, "We want to know if we can ship out some of the food in the mansion."

She understood the county lady's implication. She could lend it, but she had to ask clearly. After all, their family now had to support three houses and more than a dozen shops.

There are more than a few hundred people, and a lot of food is needed.
