As far as she knew, the eldest son of the Nandu Tongzhi family passed the imperial examination at the age of 18 and was a natural student. However, he accidentally burned his face while setting off fireworks with others on the Lantern Festival. Half of his face was covered with horrible scars, and his future was ruined from then on.

In the past two years, the Tongzhi family has been looking for miracle doctors to treat the eldest son's face, but there has been little effect. They have also announced that anyone who can cure the eldest son or provide information about the miracle doctor will be rewarded handsomely.

If she could tell the wife of the Tongzhi about the abilities of the abbot of Cihang Temple before everyone else, wouldn't she be able to take on this great achievement!

She didn't ask for much, just hoped to get a job as a clerk in the Nandu government office for her youngest son.

Although doing so would be a bit unfair to Madam Zeng.

But Cuiyu believed that she had done her best for the old lady by playing the role of a good guy, charging into battle and never backing down for decades.

People are not killed for their own sake.

Her husband and son have both been released, and now she is trying to find a better way out.

The eldest son's family has a grandson who is very talented in studying. The younger son's family is not so lucky, but it is also very good to find a job as a police official that can be passed down from generation to generation.

The Southern Capital was located at the same level as the capital, and the treatment of its clerks was much better than that of ordinary county and government offices.

Worried that someone would preempt her if she was late, the next day after returning to Zeng's house, Nanny Cuiyu made an excuse that she had some family matters and asked for leave to go to the prefectural government.

The Tongzhi was the deputy of the prefect of Nando Prefecture and was of the fifth rank.

Although his rank was not very high, he had real power. In addition, Yan Tongzhi was born into a powerful family, so he was also one of the most powerful people in the southern capital.

With Nanny Cuiyu's identity, of course she couldn't talk directly to the wife of the Tongzhi.

However, the Zeng family, as one of the top three wealthy businessmen in Southern Capital, also had dealings with the Tongzhifu.

Although this kind of interaction was of the Zeng family's nature of currying favor with the co-magistrate.

But because of this, Nanny Cuiyu and the maids around the wife of the Tongzhi also gained some face.

Cuiyu arrived outside the Tongzhi Mansion and slipped a penny of silver to the doorman:

"Please, little brother, pass a message to Madam Yan who is beside the Tongzhi's wife, and tell her that I have news about a miracle doctor who can cure the young master."

The eldest son Yan Yun has always been a concern for Tongzhi Yan and his wife. After hearing the message from the doorman, Nanny Yan immediately went to the side door to meet Nanny Cuiyu.

"Hello, Sister Yan! I am Cui Yu from the Zeng Mansion. I have met you several times before."

Nanny Yan was in no mood to exchange pleasantries with her, so she just said:

"If you have any news, just tell me."

Aunt Cuiyu refused:

"This person is very capable. I saw her heal a deep scar on a patient's face in one day. But I cannot easily reveal her background. I must tell the wife of the Tongzhi in person."

Nanny Yan was a little unhappy, but as a loyal servant, she did not dare to delay the important matters of the Madam and the Young Master.

Hearing this, he could only suppress his emotions and said:

"I hope it's as magical as you say. Otherwise, do you know what will happen if you make fun of the wife of the Tongzhi?"

"Don't worry, Sister Yan, I definitely wouldn't dare to do that!"

Nanny Yan then went to report to the wife of the Tongzhi.

"It sounds ridiculous to say that he was cured in one day. But this person is a servant who is respected by the old lady of the Zeng family. He should not be the kind of person who would make up stories to defraud the reward money."

"Ask her to come in."

Madam Yan considered it for a while and said so.

After some twists and turns, Nanny Cuiyu finally got the opportunity to meet the wife of the Tongzhi alone.

Those in power seldom speak directly to their slaves, and usually the maids around them do it for them.

"If you have any news, you can tell me now."

Nanny Yan spoke.

Cuiyu silently looked at the maids serving around her and said:

"This matter is confidential and cannot be known to too many people."

Mrs. Yan frowned, but her worry about her son prevailed and she waved her hand to dismiss the people around her.
