Chapter 310: Chapter 310: Beat Me To Death

“Mm. Third Aunt wouldn’t let me leave the East Palace. Once, I accidentally touched my third brother’s hand, and she pierced me with a hairpin, calling me a little bastard and a despicable child, saying I had no right to touch my third brother.”

As he spoke, tears filled his eyes, and he pursed his lips, trying to hold back his tears.

The third brother he mentioned was the son of the Crown Prince’s Princess Consort.

Jiang Ning’s anger intensified, asking, “Where did she pierce you?”

Li Tingqian pointed to his head.

Jiang Ning hurriedly touched his head: “Where does it hurt?”

“Inside the hair. It doesn’t hurt anymore.” Li Tingqian whispered.

Jiang Ning felt heartache.

That vicious woman, Ms. Ma, had used a hairpin to stab him in the scalp where it wouldn’t be easily discovered.

“Why didn’t you tell me or Grandpa Emperor?” Jiang Ning asked.

“Third Aunt said that no matter who I tell, she’ll always find out. With just a flick of a finger, Third Imperial Uncle could easily harm Fifth Imperial Uncle because he lost power.”

Threats, insults, piercing with a needle, punishments, hunger.

Who could have imagined that a pampered young royal raised by Prince of Yu would be treated so cruelly behind closed doors?

Jiang Ning trembled with rage.

Huang Ying came in and said, “Your Highness, someone from the palace has come to bring the emperor’s eldest grandson back.”

Li Tingqian’s face changed, and he quickly clung to Jiang Ning, “I don’t want to go back, I don’t want to go back. Little Aunt, please don’t make me go back…” “Alright, we won’t go back. We won’t go anywhere. We’ll stay with your Little Aunt, and nobody will ever bully you again.” Jiang Ning stroked his back, comforting him.

After calming him down, Jiang Ning had Chunlai accompany him to play while she went to the front yard to meet the visitor from the palace.

As expected, it was Eunuch Deshan who had come.

Xiaoman stood forward, causing him to shrink back.

“Eunuch Deshan, you dare to come?” Jiang Ning pushed her wheelchair and smiled, “You and your master must not be afraid of death. I told you this morning you were a dead man, but you still dare to come.”

Deshan forced a smile, “I’m just a lowly servant carrying out orders. There’s no need for Princess Consort of Yu to be upset with a lowly slave like me.”

“Being unable to vent my anger is not my style.”

Jiang Ning pushed her wheelchair up to him, reached out to hold the armrest, and attempted to stand, “Help me.”

Deshan had no choice but to help her.

As soon as Jiang Ning got close to him, she swayed and fell back into the wheelchair.

“Your Highness!” Xiaoman, furious, rushed over and with a bang, sent Deshan flying.

Huang Ying ran over to help Jiang Ning, “Your Highness, are you alright?”

“I’m not alright.” Jiang Ning pointed at Deshan, “This dog slave has dared to disrespect me and even pushed me. Tie him up and beat him until he’s half-dead.”

“Yes!”

Xiaoman immediately grabbed Deshan’s leg and dragged him out, ordering the servants to beat him with planks.

After a live beating of eighty planks, Deshan finally fainted, and Jiang Ning called them to stop.

“Huang Ying, tell Uncle Fu to send people to take him back to the East Palace.”

Jiang Fu immediately sent Deshan back to the palace.

The Princess Consort was talking to the Crown Prince when she heard that Deshan had been beaten at Prince of Yu’s Mansion, and was both shocked and enraged.

Seeing Deshan barely alive, Ms. Ma angrily said, “Is Princess Consort of Yu insane? How dare she beat someone sent by the palace to fetch the emperor’s eldest grandson?”

“Deshan was accused of disrespecting Princess Consort of Yu.”

“Does Deshan have the guts? This is clearly a false charge!” Ms. Ma raged, “How dare she keep the emperor’s eldest grandson in the Prince of Yu’s Mansion without permission?”

Crown Prince Li Jixian walked over, smiled and said, “This Princess Consort of Yu is indeed a fascinating person. She’s beautiful and bold. Truly a living, breathing rose with thorns..”
