Everyone in the capital knew that Ye Siming had been conferred the t.i.tle of the princess’s guard commander by the emperor.
Since he was here, there was no need to check the other girl inside. She must be Princess Yaoguang, Gu Nuo’er!
The two soldiers looked at each other. If they continued to go against these two people, it would mean that they were blind!
The slightly shorter and fatter soldier rubbed his hands and went forward, smiling apologetically. “Commander Ye, may I ask what Her Highness is worried about? Is there any way that we can share her worries?”
Ye Siming was not as tactful as Gu Nuo’er. He looked back coldly at Nanny Hu’s daughter-in-law, who was still in a daze.
He said bluntly, “She mistreats the princess’s nanny and I was just about to send her to the government office. You guys came at the right time. Take her away.”
“Alright!”
The two soldiers who were called over by Nanny Hu’s daughter-in-law turned around and grabbed each of her arms respectively.
After having shot herself in the foot, the woman screamed loudly and looked extremely shrewish. “They broke into someone’s house!
“Why aren’t you guys doing anything about it? This young man almost broke my door. If you want to arrest someone, you should arrest him!”
The two soldiers glared at her. “If we capture him, are you going to be the one to protect the princess? Are you going to be the one answering to the emperor?”
The woman froze and didn’t know what to say. She was so angry that her face turned red and she felt really horrible!
The soldiers cupped their hands at Ye Siming. “Commander Ye, we’ll take her away now.”
At this moment, an old voice shouted from the cowshed. “Hold on!”
Nanny Hu walked out shakily with Gu Nuo’er’s help.
Her wrinkled face was filled with apology.
Nanny Hu looked at the two soldiers and said, “It’s all a misunderstanding. I’ve already told Her Highness about it just now. My grandson is still young,
“On the account that he can’t do without his mother, please spare her this once. Officers, I’m sorry to have troubled you to come all the way here. Why don’t you guys come in and have some tea before leaving?”
Gu Nuo’er hadn’t wanted to let Nanny Hu’s daughter-in-law off and had planned on teaching her a lesson.
However, Nanny Hu was already old in age and she had begged bitterly. Gu Nuo’er really couldn’t bear to see her like this.
The two soldiers nodded and bowed to Gu Nuo’er with smiles. “Your Highness, are you really going to let her go?
“If this evil woman made you unhappy, it won’t be a problem to bring her back to the government office and punish her with the paddles.”
Gu Nuo’er shook her head and said softly, “Let her go. I’ve already promised Nanny Hu.”
Only then did the two soldiers let go of the woman. They cupped their hands and one of them said with a smile, “Your Highness, I’m Zhang Yu. Beside me is my colleague, Li Hu.
“If you have any need, please feel free to command the two of us. It is our duty to do our utmost for Your Highness.”
Gu Nuo’er nodded. “Alright, I understand. Then please come here every few days to secretly see if this baddie still continues to bully Nanny Hu.”
The soldiers agreed readily. “We’ll definitely carry out the princess’s instructions well!”
After they left, Nanny Hu held her daughter-in-law’s hand and persuaded her earnestly, “Cuixiu, hurry up and apologize to the princess.”
The woman only felt that things hadn’t gone the way she wanted them to and now, she still had to put up with the princess. She felt very angry.
However, she naturally did not dare to vent her anger on Gu Nuo’er and Ye Siming.
She swung Nanny Hu’s hand away. “If it weren’t for you, this old thing, would I have offended the princess? It’s all your fault!”
It didn’t matter if she shook her hand, but Nanny Hu was sick and didn’t have much strength to stand still.
With this push, Nanny Hu fell backward uncontrollably.
The back of her head was about to fall onto a protruding rock on the ground!
