Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"I accept the punishment." Aunt Sun fell to the ground, her voice trembling and full of fear.

She might not be able to endure thirty strokes of the cane.

The other concubines also changed their expressions slightly, and even Aunt Zhao, who had a good relationship with Aunt Sun, stood up and pleaded for Aunt Sun.

Aunt Zhao was also a concubine and an actress from Jinzhou. She always called Aunt Sun "sister" and always felt that she was her only relative in the mansion.

When Aunt Zhao heard that Aunt Sun was going to be beaten with thirty sticks, she was scared to death, but she still mustered up the courage to come out and plead for mercy, and even said that she wanted to share half of the punishment for Aunt Sun.

It's true sisterhood, not fake sisterhood.

Aunt Sun was so moved that she burst into tears and hugged Aunt Zhao and cried bitterly. Aunt Zhao also cried. For a moment, the room was filled with the sounds of the two of them crying.

Then, several concubines, whether sincerely or not, also wiped their tears with their handkerchiefs, with sympathy in their eyes.

"Haha, Aunt Ye, what you said just now sounded better than singing. Why bother talking? Since you sympathize with Aunt Sun so much, why don't you go and beg the Marquis for her? Thirty strokes of the cane, she will really die."

At this time, Yao Yinyin spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"I am a human, not a bodhisattva. When facing the evil person who harmed me, I was very noble not to add insult to injury when she was punished. How could I possibly beg for mercy? Look, the words 'big wronged person' are written on my face."

Ye Qingzhi looked at Yao Yinyin coldly and said sarcastically,

"If I plead for Aunt Sun today, you will praise me for being kind on the surface, but you will definitely call me an idiot and a hypocrite behind my back, and then I will become a victim that you will use to plead for me.

If I refuse to beg for mercy, you will start to call me a cruel bitch and say that I can't pretend anymore, right?

Since I am not a human being either inside or outside, I choose to be a black-hearted bitch.

In this way, whenever you still want to harm me, you have to think carefully. If you want to harm me, can you afford the consequences?

I am a petty person. If a dog bites me, I will chase it and bite it back twice. Although I can be open-minded about everything, it does not affect my grudge..."

Ye Qingzhi finished speaking.

Yao Yinyin's face darkened and she couldn't utter a word.

Ye Qingzhi has said all the good and bad things, what else can she say!

Zhang Jingyi was somewhat impressed by Ye Qingzhi. She was so bold that she could even tear off any fig leaf.

When he gets angry, he does it openly and without any pretense.

Normally, everyone says three-tenths of what they mean and seven-tenths of what they conceal. They appear to be friendly on the surface, but stab you in the back.

But Aunt Ye held the knife in her hand, clearly showing it, and she would kill anyone who dared to bully her.

For no reason, Zhang Jingyi felt a little envious of her.

"Pull Aunt Zhao away and drag Aunt Sun away." Zhang Jingyi stood up and said coldly, "The execution will be carried out in the yard. You will all follow me to watch the execution."

Watching the execution is to deter!

Only after seeing real punishment will one have a sense of awe and hesitate before doing bad things.

"Ah ah ah..."

Aunt Sun screamed in pain when she was hit by a stick.

After ten boards were struck, Aunt Sun's screams became quieter and blood oozed from her body.

The concubines who were watching the execution all looked pale, and many of them had to be supported by maids and old women to stand steadily.

Ye Qingzhi couldn't stand this situation, so she chose to faint.

Before she fainted, she did not forget to give a reason and set up a persona for herself.

"Blood, blood, so much blood..."

She is afraid of blood, of course she is pretending.

This character who was prone to fainting at the sight of blood was just like her character who was prone to fainting at the sight of motion sickness in her previous life.

With her motion sickness personality, whenever she travels on business trips with her boss, she can close her eyes and pretend to sleep as soon as she gets in the car to avoid awkward conversations with her boss.

Super useful character!

In this ancient time when people could die at any time, the character who gets carsick is no longer acceptable, but the character who gets blood-sickness is acceptable.

With her character setting of being afraid of blood, she would become faint in bloody scenes and ignore everything, just trying to be the person pretending to be asleep and unable to be awakened.

As Ye Qingzhi fainted, several concubines followed suit and fainted one after another.

Among them, Su Ranran was frail and sickly, and had never seen such a scene. As Aunt Sun was beaten to pieces, she really fainted.

And Yao Yinyin, she was so guilty and frightened that she couldn't hold on and fainted.

Zhang Jingyi looked at these useless concubines, frowned in disdain, and asked them to leave.

-

Aunt Sun survived in the end.

Although she was physically weak, she was very strong-willed and had a strong determination not to die.

Of course, she was dying when she was carried back. The court doctor shook his head after looking at her injuries and thought she would not survive.

But three days later, the high fever subsided and Aunt Sun was finally out of danger.

"Aunt, I heard that Aunt Sun has woken up. She shouldn't be dead."

Ruyi found out the news and told Ye Qingzhi.

"That's good. I hope she can be reborn this time and not do anything stupid again."

Ye Qingzhi felt relieved to hear that Aunt Sun was alive.

After all, she grew up under the red flag and could not treat human life as worthless. Although Aunt Sun stabbed her in the back, what she did was not punishable by death.

And he seemed to be a person who listened to advice, so she would be uncomfortable if he died.

"Many aunts went to visit and gave gifts to Aunt Sun. Should we send some?" Ruyi asked again.

"Don't send gifts. Anything you send may make people think it contains murderous intent. Just send a silver note of 100 taels to Aunt Sun to congratulate her for surviving."

Ye Qingzhi said, "Just treat it as a baptism ceremony for her new life. May she wash away her makeup and bloom beautifully."

Ruyi's mouth twitched. The third-day bathing ceremony for new students?

Auntie, are you serious?

Chunyu and Xiachan next to them were speechless but wanted to laugh. It was really interesting to listen to my aunt talk.

-

On this side, Aunt Sun received the one hundred taels of silver note from Ye Qingzhi and couldn't help feeling grateful.

Money is what she needs most now.

Although Ye Qingzhi did not plead for her, her words made her realize that she owed Ye Qingzhi a favor.

"When my injury heals, I will come to your aunt's house in person to thank her."

Aunt Sun said to Ruyi.

"Just don't be jealous and harm my aunt. There's no need to thank me." Ruyi waved her hand and said.

-

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed and Xie Jin still hadn't come to Yanliuyuan.

"Aunt, the Marquis hasn't been here for a long time, and people in the mansion are saying that you have fallen out of favor."

Ruyi went out every day to gather information, and could feel the attitudes of the servants in the mansion very clearly. They used to be very enthusiastic towards her, but now they were much more indifferent to her. She became more and more anxious in the past two days.

"Auntie, are you listening to me? You've fallen out of favor! Aren't you anxious?"

Ruyi stamped her feet anxiously and shouted at Ye Qingzhi.

Of course Ye Qingzhi was not in a hurry.

Her fall from favor means a holiday, and no worker would complain about a long holiday.

Ye Qingzhi would love to have more frequent vacations, paid vacations at that!

However, although it is nice to take a break during the holidays, you can only get a basic salary, and you will lose all the face, status, rewards and other benefits.

Look, it’s only been half a month since the holiday and she has lost all her face in the mansion.
