Chapter 0557

Having sent away Zhang Dangyin, Ye Zao sighed, "I've always known that women who aren't favored in the palace have a hard life. I didn't expect that Zhang Dangyin could be bullied by a servant to such an extent."

"The servant just asked around, and it seems that Aunt Li really did go too far. Skimming from the expenses of Chunxi Hall was one thing, but she also cut into Zhang Dangyin's food and allowance. It's remarkable that Zhang Dangyin could endure it; it's been almost a year before she came to you," Ah Ling said softly.

"Whose fault is that? If she doesn't know how to stand up for herself, and if it weren't for Aunt Li being too outrageous, she'd probably still be enduring it," Ye Zao snorted.

"Alas, there's no helping it," Ah Ling sighed.

"You, with your temperament, always think there's no helping it. Tell Ah Yuan if she had encountered this, would she have thought there's no helping it?" Ye Zao poked Ah Ling's hand.
