Princess Pinghe pondered for a moment before walking over to Nanny Zheng. Her tone softened. "Nanny, that man surnamed Shen is no good. Time and again, he has treated me with such insolence in front of everyone. It is as if he has no regard for the dignity of the Imperial family at all. Grandmother must have been deceived by him, which is why she is protecting him."
She glanced at Nanny Zheng’s expression as she spoke. Seeing the woman’s face remained solemn and unmoved, she hurriedly added, "Nanny, Grandmother couldn't possibly stop caring for me, her granddaughter, could she?"
Nanny Zheng’s expression remained serious, though her tone was deeply respectful. "Princess, Her Highness the Empress Dowager naturally dotes on you. However, Master Shen is also her honored guest. I am simply carrying out her orders to see that Master Shen leaves the palace safely. Otherwise, I would find it difficult to answer to Her Highness."
