?Chapter 276: Chapter 276 He is the Son of Me and Lady Zhang Chapter 276: Chapter 276 He is the Son of Me and Lady Zhang “`
The Empress Dowager’s grandfather was originally the Crown Prince’s Grand Tutor, that is, the late emperor’s teacher,
The Zhang family, known for its scholarly heritage, was the most distinguished and noble family in the Capital City.

Although the old Grand Tutor had already retired, many still sought his guidance, and his eldest son, the father of the Empress Dowager, was also famously talented. Consequently, the Zhang family was a hub of activity, with guests filling their home and their influence reaching far and wide.

Those servants in the palace who were adept at flattering the more favored and stepping on the less would often covertly mistreat him, seeing his unfavor. Of course, they wouldn’t beat or scold him to his face, but he would frequently encounter various inconveniences concerning his food, clothing, and other necessities.
