Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Ye Qingzhi looked at Shen Yan with a proper smile and said softly,

"Now that Miss Chen has explained clearly that I did not bully her, shouldn't Madam Shen say sorry to me?"

"… Concubine Ye, I'm sorry. I was too impatient just now. I'm sorry for offending you. Please forgive me, Concubine Ye."

Shen Yan glanced at his daughter, forced a smile on his face, and bowed to Ye Qingzhi to apologize.

"Mrs. Shen also loves her daughter dearly. I understand that." Ye Qingzhi said with a smile, very gentle and considerate, and seemed to have a particularly good temper.

The noble ladies who had just arrived saw her like this and thought that Ye Qingzhi was easy to talk to and had no temper. They also thought that she was worthy of being a merchant's daughter, but was a little petty.

Shen Yan felt the same way, and a hint of contempt flashed in his lowered eyes.

But then, Shen Yan heard Ye Qingzhi say,

“I also understand that with Madam Shen’s status, there is really no need for her to take me seriously.

So, you asked me why I bullied your daughter without knowing the truth. I am not angry at all. Since you have apologized, let’s forget about this matter today.”

Ye Qingzhi said with a smile again.

Shen Yan,...

She had never heard such blunt sarcasm before!

The fig leaf has been torn off.

No matter how powerful the Chen family is, they are still in-laws, not the royal family.

Even though Ye Qingzhi was only a concubine, she was still a member of the royal family listed in the Imperial Book.

She is the mistress of the Chen family. If anyone is disrespectful to her, it would be a disrespect to the royal family.

However, on weekdays, when she met the concubines or even the princesses of the Rui Palace and the Qi Palace, they were all polite to her.

Even the Concubine Liang in the Eastern Palace was very polite to her, because she was the mother of the Crown Princess!

She has become accustomed to being treated with courtesy by these royal daughters-in-law.

This fig leaf is something that everyone knows about tacitly, right?

She could never have imagined that Concubine Ye would dare to pull it off directly and smile so confidently. How could she not be afraid?

After calming down, Shen Yan forced a smile and said humbly and respectfully,

"Concubine Ye, you are joking. I would never dare to be disrespectful to you. You are accusing me of being disrespectful by saying that. I am terrified and would never dare to respond."

"Oh, that's fine." Ye Qingzhi responded perfunctorily, very green tea-like.

"It's just a small matter. Madam Shen is right. There's really no need to make a big deal out of it.

Madam Shen, please don't panic, as if I bullied your daughter and won't let you go. I am not such a bad person. "

Shen Yan's face twisted in anger.

It was you who was making a big deal out of it just now, and it is also you who is saying no now.

In just a few words, she truly felt how difficult Ye Qingzhi was.

With such a difficult Concubine Ye and the support of Prince Su, could Princess Jing, who was born a concubine, really handle it? !

She wouldn't be surprised if Princess Jing was deposed one day.

-

Chen family mistress Shen Yan was tricked by Concubine Ye. For a moment, other noble ladies became much more respectful to Ye Qingzhi.

The smile was genuine and flattering.

Ye Qingzhi has used up all her energy for today's work. From now on, she just wants to slack off and doesn't want to work or socialize, so whenever someone comes to greet her, she just smiles and nods without saying a word.

She appeared dignified and polite on the outside, but in fact she was slandering others in her heart.

Where on earth did Ling Yue go to appreciate the plum blossoms? Why hasn’t she come back in such a long time? Is she hooking up with Lord Fang to do something that only costs money to watch?

Sin, sin.

How could she have such dirty thoughts and paint two innocent people in such a dirty way?

But, he hasn’t come back for so long. Are the plum blossoms really so beautiful that we need to watch them for so long?

That person is definitely not as handsome as her white moonlight, Lord Fang!

Tsk tsk, Ye Qingzhi found herself imagining things again, and quickly stopped to distract herself, as the scene was about to turn pornographic again.

She waited for another quarter of an hour before she saw Princess Ling Yue coming back.

The personal maid who followed her did not see Prime Minister Fang.

"I am so happy to enjoy the plum blossoms."

Ye Qingzhi looked at her carefully, his eyes lingering on her bright red lips for a moment before moving away.

Looking at her face as rosy as a peach blossom and her eyes as bright as stars, you can tell that she must have succeeded in cheating!

Ye Qingzhi thought about how she kept saying that it was just for a look and she didn't dare to think about anything more, so she laughed in her heart.

"Hehe, the plum garden in the Fang Mansion is really nice." Princess Ling Yue couldn't help but laugh foolishly, but quickly stopped smiling and said, "Let's go back."

"Huh? You're not going to find a consort for yourself? You're not going to rely on Lord Fang to choose a wife?" Ye Qingzhi teased her with a smile.

"Why are you in such a hurry? We won't be looking for a consort for the time being." Ling Yue waved her hand. "I can't decide whether Lord Fang will choose a concubine or not, and who he will choose. There's nothing to see. Let's go!"

Seeing her like this, Ye Qingzhi sighed again, and this time she was really worried.

No matter how soberly you sink, it is still sinking.

Princess, don't drown yourself.

"Shi Jin, mother thinks that the eldest daughter of the Minister of Works Lu's family is quite good. She was engaged once before, but because of mourning for her grandmother's death, the wedding was postponed.

After the mourning period was over and they were able to get married, they discovered that the man had already given birth to a son out of wedlock. The Lu family didn't want their daughter to suffer this, so they called off the marriage.

So the girl was delayed, and then her marriage was not going well. Now she is twenty years old.

Mother thought, after all, she is your concubine, it is better for her to be older, mature, stable, and thoughtful, and she will be able to take care of Chao Chao and the others as soon as she gets married..."

Mrs. Fang talked a lot, and when she found out that her son was daydreaming, she slapped the table angrily.

"Shi Jin, what are you thinking? This Miss Lu meets my mother's wishes in every aspect, so let's get engaged..."

"Mother, I'm sorry. I can't fulfill your wish for now." Fang Yunyan came back to her senses and said calmly to Old Madam Fang.

"What do you mean?" asked Old Madam Fang with a frown.

"My son has no plans to remarry for the time being."

"You, when did you go back on your word? It was you who said you wanted to remarry! Why did you change your mind now?"

The old lady stared at him and asked three questions angrily.

"I'm sorry for causing trouble to mother." Fang Yunyan stood up and bowed to his mother apologetically.

The old lady then looked at him carefully. When she found something strange about her son's mouth, she gasped in shock and said,

"Are you attracted to someone? Tell me, as long as it's not too outrageous, I will definitely help you marry her!"

Although the old lady appeared calm on the surface, she was actually in turmoil inside.

Her son has always been self-disciplined and respectful. He is even more indifferent to women and has great self-control. He is even more pure-hearted than a monk.

But now, she actually discovered that her son might have secretly met with a woman, and it was not as simple as sending a letter, but they even kissed? !

Oh my God!

No wonder he didn't want the maids she gave him, it turns out he had someone outside!

Keep an outside room?

How could he have done such a stupid thing?

The old lady thought about it and decided that even if the woman was a divorced woman, as long as her son really liked her, she would grit her teeth and accept her.

"My son has a plan in mind." Fang Yunyan said calmly, "There is no need for mother to worry."

"you you……"

The old lady wanted to scold him, "What a waste of talent!" But when she saw her son's elegant and handsome face, she held it back and said dryly,

"Next time you steal food, wipe your mouth clean before coming back."

"..." Fang Yunyan pursed his lips, bowed to his old mother expressionlessly, turned around and left, his ears a little red.
