"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.
