Chapter 1803

It's a long journey. The sandstorms in Tiema City are raging, how can it compare to the prosperity and comfort of the capital?

It is natural for wet nurses to be unwilling to go along as their own children are still young.

Shi Anxia didn't force it.

But who would have thought that several wet nurses would actually express their willingness to follow.

In fact, in the past year, they have all received the princess's favor to varying degrees.

Some people were taken care of and their lives were much better than before; some people's children had high fever and almost died, and were saved only because the princess sent doctors to treat them; and some people, who were treated harshly by their mother-in-law, felt comfortable living with the princess, for fear that they would be sent home to be tortured again.

The nurses all knelt on the ground and said respectfully, "We servants are willing to follow the princess."

Shi Anxia didn't really want to change people, but she was worried that they would be separated from their families and feel sad in the future, so she said solemnly, "Are you sincere? If you regret it after you've made up your mind, I won't let you off easily."

The nurses kowtowed one after another, saying firmly, "We will never regret it!"

Shi Anxia nodded and said in a gentle voice, "In that case, let's all get up."

He added, "Although the Iron Horse City is not as good as the capital, we will not treat you unfairly. From today on, your monthly salary will be tripled, and you will get two sets of clothes for each season. In addition, you will be given fox fur to keep you warm in winter and ice silk to keep you cool in summer. If you do a good job, you will get another reward at the end of the year."

Upon hearing this, the wet nurses were all filled with gratitude and expressed their gratitude in unison.

"Thank you, Princess, for your kindness!"

"We will do our best and will never let the princess down."

Where there is reward, there will naturally be punishment.

Shi Anxia changed the subject and his voice became a little stern. "If anyone pretends to obey but actually disobeys, and has other thoughts," his eyes slashed through the crowd like a blade, "then the reward will be heavy, and the punishment will be even heavier."

The nurses trembled all over. Nanny Zhang dropped the handkerchief on the ground, but she didn't dare to pick it up.

They were shocked to realize that the princess, who was weak after giving birth and always spoke softly, now had powerful eyes, and a single glance from her could make people tremble with fear.'

The princess was gentle for so long that people began to think she was truly a gentle person.

Before everyone arrived at Iron Horse City, they could already feel the raging sandstorm of Iron Horse City on the princess.

"So, are you still willing to come with me?" Shi Anxia asked for the last time.

This question was like a spring breeze melting snow, but it made everyone's heart tighten suddenly, and they all knelt down again, "We are willing."

Shi Anxia was satisfied and gave Bei Hui a look.

Bei Hui came forward carrying a lacquer tray. The snow-silver ingot in the tray was dyed by the twilight and shone brightly in the sunset.

It makes people's eyes wet and their hearts warm.

The maids narrowed their eyes and vaguely saw the faces of their own children. If they took the silver back, their mother-in-law would feed them half an extra bowl of meat soup, right?

Bei Hui gave out silver coins one by one, 10 taels per person. Nan Yan then stepped forward and gave out several silver notes, 40 taels per person.

The total amount is fifty taels of silver.

The severance pay is small, but the "growth money" given to the mothers-in-law is large. But this is not a reward, it is clearly a chain to control people's hearts.

The lotus pattern carved on the edge of the lacquer plate floats in the light and shadow, just like the corners of Shi Anxia's smiling lips.

She knew too well the weakness of these wet nurses: in the eyes of most husbands-in-law, they were just walking milk bags. Only by letting the husbands-in-law know that this "milk bag" was the key to the princess's success, could the wet nurses' children who stayed in the capital be treated well.
