Chapter 213: The Ruthless and Short-lived

"Alright."

Seeing that Jiang Ning's mood had stabilized, Huang Ying breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly picked up the hairpin, washed it clean, and placed it back in its box. She then went out to ask Chunlai to prepare bathwater.

Once the water was ready, Huang Ying asked the other servants to leave so she could attend to Jiang Ning's bath herself.

When they removed her clothes, Huang Ying gasped in shock.

"This cruel, short-lived bastard has no idea how to be gentle. You're delicate, yet he dares to treat you like this... How long will it take for these to fade..."

"Enough, stop talking about it," Jiang Ning didn't want to bring up the matter and lowered herself into the bathtub.

It was so humiliating.

What was most infuriating was that even in a place where imperial power reigned supreme, she didn't have anyone to help her seek justice. If this matter were to get out, no one would blame Li Hongyuan even a little bit.
