Nursemaid Zhou scrambled to her feet and knelt properly again.
Then, choking back sobs, she said,
"Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid my own daughter has met a grim fate. Sun Jingyou is not my child either. She merely snatched the jade pendant from my daughter. As for my daughter, her whereabouts remain completely unknown."
Hearing this, what reason did Her Royal Highness the Grand Princess have not to understand?
She staggered slightly and pointed a trembling finger at Nursemaid Zhou.
Driven to extremes of fury, she let out a harsh laugh,
"You've played a fine game! If Sun Jingyou truly were your biological daughter, you would have kept it from me even now, wouldn't you?"
"This old slave deserves death! Please, Your Highness, grant me execution," Nursemaid Zhou wailed.
