Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"I'm a concubine, not a mistress. Foxy is a compliment to me, which means I'm doing well." Ye Qingzhi commented with satisfaction.

Calling her a vixen is just praising her strong business ability!

As one wishes,"???"

Is it really?

Spring rain and summer cicadas, "???"

I don’t understand, but I’m shocked.

The secret guard squatting on the tree twitched his lips. He wrote down these words and would write them down and send them to me later.

"Auntie, can we really ignore this matter? If the rumors spread more and more, it will definitely damage the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and the Marquis, and you might be punished."

Ruyi said worriedly.

"Someone is definitely in charge of this matter, but it's not something we can control, and it's not something we should worry about, so don't worry about it."

Ye Qingzhi spoke.

Maintaining the reputation of the Marquis's Mansion and catching the villain who slandered them behind the scenes was the duty of the mistress of the house and had nothing to do with her as a concubine.

In the workplace, the most taboo thing is to do work beyond your job responsibilities. You must be clear about it and have a sense of boundaries.

Don't be stupid and let others use you as a free mule.

Ruyi now felt that her aunt was much smarter, and she felt slightly relieved after hearing her say that.

"Is there any other news?" Ye Qingzhi asked again.

"Aunt, it turns out that our Marquis is not the old lady's legitimate son. I heard that the old Marquis favored his concubine over his wife and insisted on making his biological mother his co-wife. He was also determined to pass the title to our Marquis. So, we have to be careful with the first and second wives and don't contact them unless necessary."

"That lady is so pitiful." Ye Qingzhi sighed after hearing this.

Also, why does she hate to hear words like "favoring the concubine and neglecting the wife" and "elevating the wife" so much? It must be that her concubine has strong professional ethics and has no ambition to become a regular wife, which is why she is so disgusted.

As one wishes,"???"

"Taking care of your mother-in-law is stressful enough, and she also has a grudge against her husband. She finds fault with you every day. The key is that you can't hide or scold her, and you have to actively send yourself to be abused every day. It's too miserable."

Seeing that Ruyi didn't understand, Ye Qingzhi explained to her.

As one wishes,"……"

It sounds a bit miserable.

It turns out that being the mistress of the house is also so aggrieved.

The secret guard squatting on the tree was so shocked that he almost slipped...

How could Aunt Ye say such shocking things?

Spring rain and summer cicadas, "!!!"

Is this really something they can listen to?!

Although it seems that there is nothing wrong with what Aunt Ye said, it is against the rules for a concubine to talk about the mistress of the house behind her back.

"By the way, Ruyi, let's not talk about the Marquis and his wife behind their backs in the future. It's too presumptuous. I won't do it again."

Ye Qingzhi thought for a moment and said,

"Although I really feel sorry for Madam, I have offended her after all. Chunyu, Xiachan, take these herbs and send them to Madam to apologize."

If she drinks more medicine, she will turn into a medicine jar.

All medicines are poisonous. To maintain your health, you still need to rely on dietary supplements.

Just waiting for her little kitchen to come online.

"...Ah?" Chunyu and Xiachan were stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed in response.

"Don't forget to ask Madam for the shed and kitchenette." Ye Qingzhi instructed.

"...I'll remember that." Chunyu and Xiachan responded, always feeling that something was not quite right.

This is too official.

-

Guixinyuan.

Chunyu and Xiachan came to the lady with two boxes of precious medicine, and then they told her what happened in Yanliuyuan today.

Zhang Jingyi and Nanny Zhou's faces changed color several times, almost like a color palette.

After listening, Nanny Zhou silently opened the two boxes of medicinal materials and examined them carefully. They were all excellent medicines, no worse than those rewarded by the palace and stored in the treasury.

But that belongs to Mr. Zhong, not to the lady.

This concubine Ye gave the lady a great gift, so the crime of offense can indeed be forgiven.

"Did she really say that? She said she would listen to me and the Marquis, that calling her a vixen was a compliment to her, and that I was so pitiful and miserable?" Zhang Jingyi was silent for a moment, then asked again in surprise.

Spring rain and summer cicadas both nodded vigorously.

Aunt Ye clearly didn't say anything harsh, but they were inexplicably a little scared of her.

I didn't dare to have any ulterior motives and served her very attentively.

"Madam, although Aunt Ye is a bit ignorant of the rules, speaks too bluntly, and behaves too unrestrainedly, she is indeed quite smart. She knows that in addition to the Marquis, she can also rely on you, Madam."

Madam Zhou immediately spoke up.

"However, I just don't know how far she can go. Can she really not hide it from the lady?"

"How could I not hide it?" Zhang Jingyi sneered and did not take Ye Qingzhi's words seriously at all.

However, since she has shown her loyalty so much, given her such a big gift, and the Marquis still protects her so much, I can't be too harsh on her.

She wanted a pergola, a small kitchen, a cook, and wanted to buy ice; all these little things could be fulfilled.

Anyway, the money she spent was not from the Marquis' Mansion, nor was it the Marquis's private money, so she didn't feel bad at all.

And there are those rumors out there...

Zhang Jingyi's eyes flashed with coldness. Did she really think that once her Lord left the capital, she could throw dirty water on him and his mansion at will? !

"Mammy, send someone to find Master Song Jinsong and ask him to find out who spread the rumor about Madam Ye and arrest the person who spread it!"

Zhang Jingyi said coldly.

Lord Song is the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and also Xie Jin's subordinate. If Zhang Jingyi goes to him, this matter will definitely be handled properly.

-

Over here at Yanliuyuan.

After listening to all the gossip, Ye Qingzhi felt a little sleepy and went back to bed for an afternoon nap. After all, her body was still weak, so she fell asleep after a while.

Then she dreamed again.

The woman in the dream was giving birth, but it was a difficult labor. She was in excruciating pain, bleeding profusely, and the baby could not be delivered.

Finally, the baby was born with great difficulty, but it had stayed in the womb for too long and was said to have died.

"A dead fetus is unlucky and cannot be buried in the family tomb. Just find a random place to bury it..." a man said indifferently.

……

Ye Qingzhi woke up from such a nightmare, feeling so stuffy in her chest that she almost couldn't breathe.

She sincerely suspected that she had nightmares because she was not used to the climate and the signal connecting her body and soul was unstable after traveling across time.

What a shattered dream!

Ye Qingzhi sat on the edge of the bed, and it took her a long time to recover. She felt like she was finally a human being again.
