Qin Zhenzhen and her grandmother, both led by the housekeeper, were escorted to a beautifully appointed room.
They were strictly instructed not to leave the Empress Dowager's chambers until she woke up.
With a gracious smile, Qin Zhenzhen expressed her gratitude to the housekeeper, saying, "Thank you, Madam."
She had sensed that the housekeeper, whom she respectfully referred to as "nanny," was clearly on their side.
Taking the initiative to introduce herself, the nanny said, "You can call me Mrs. Lin."
This revelation caught Qin Zhenzhen by surprise. As the nanny responsible for the Empress Dowager's care, Mrs. Lin held a high position in the palace. Yet, here she was, referring to herself as an "old servant" in front of them.
Mrs. Lin quickly clarified, "Madam Su, there's no need for astonishment. Although I serve the Empress Dowager, I also answer to Young Master Su."
