Nanny Yusu only had one pair of hands and couldn't stretch both women at once.
While Jiang Xian was being bent into a pretzel, Chen Daying watched from the side, aghast. "Is... is she really an instructor from the Inner Music Bureau? Not a chief from the Imperial Prison?"
These movements bore a striking resemblance to the "plank" punishment.
The "plank" was a form of punishment for palace maids. It involved stretching out one's arms, bending at the waist, and grabbing one's own feet with both hands.
From a distance, the person looked like they were folded in half.
He Xiang jumped in fright. "My lady, you must be careful what you say."
Chen Daying replied, "I am being careful."
As master and servant whispered, Nanny Yusu looked up with a dazzling smile. "Don't worry, Miss Chen. This servant will be with you shortly to stretch out your muscles and bones."
Nanny Yusu's words sounded like a death sentence from King Yan.
