"Wet nurses from the Imperial Household Department are all arrogant. Just as expected, what is this nurse's surname?" Ye Zao glanced at the nurse and asked.
"In response... in response to Noble Consort's question, her surname is Zhang," another young maid replied.
"Very well, Sister Zhang, is it? Give her fifty strikes and send her back to the Imperial Household Department, saying she's audacious enough to make decisions for the Second Princess. Is such a defiant servant there to serve her master or to command her?" Ye Zao snorted, "Drag her out and give her a beating! If there's one strike missing, tell the eunuch in charge of the punishment to make up for it."
After these words, no one dared to argue, and before long, everyone involved was dragged out.
When the sound of the beating came from outside, the Second Princess's already pale face turned even whiter; she dared not explain nor did she dare to plead for her people.
Ye Zao said nothing, just waited.
