Professional Ethics of a Concubine

She had been dreaming again these days, dreaming about some scenes after her death.

After Chen Yuankai passed the imperial examination and became the top scorer, he caught the emperor's eye and rose to prominence from then on. At the age of only 40, he had already become a Shangshu and entered the cabinet. Two years later, he became the prime minister of the cabinet!

No one can match this status!

Her life is not just about becoming the wife of the number one scholar, she wants to be the wife of the prime minister, a lady of the first rank!

Such enormous wealth is waiting for her ahead. Anyone who dares to stop her or destroy it will be her enemy.

"Yingxue, Yuankai is so amazing, we can't let him be ruined like this. Mother is also waiting for you to become the wife of the top scholar."

Gu Man also heard about her daughter's dream and felt that her daughter had received inspiration from the Buddha and would definitely become a noble lady in this life.

"But you've also seen your father's attitude. That little bitch Ye Qingzhi has just been favored, but he's already fawning over her. We have no status in your father's eyes.

I’m afraid that before Chen Yuankai wins the first place in the imperial examination next spring, your father will divorce me for that bitch Ye Qingzhi.”

Gu Man said worriedly, "We have to think of a way to make that little bitch fall out of favor in the Marquis' Mansion. Mother originally thought of letting Yuan Kai come over to create the impression that she still has Yuan Kai in her heart, and that she came back to meet him secretly..."

"Mom, absolutely not! Xie Jin, the Marquis is a petty person. Your method may kill Ye Qingzhi, but Yuan Kai will also be annoyed by the Marquis, and Yuan Kai's career will definitely be affected in the future."

Ye Yingxue has a deep fear of Xie Jin in her bones.

If you can avoid provoking someone, don’t do it.

"That's true. So what do you think we should do?" Gu Man asked her. "Tomorrow is a great opportunity. If we miss it, it will be gone."

"Mom, if Yuan Kai is not available, we can replace him with someone else. Do you still remember the poor student named Song Yixuan?

This man was quite talented, but he had offended someone and could not stay in Jiangnan to take the provincial examination. Hearing that Ye Qingzhi had given him money to take the exam, he came to the capital to find a way to get a place in the provincial examination for students from the capital.

I heard that he has already arrived in the capital and is still asking about our mansion. He must want to thank Ye Qingzhi. Just tell him that Ye Qingzhi will be home tomorrow, and he will definitely come."

This Song Yixuan was also a character that appeared in her dream. He would be the number one scholar in three years and would become an important official in the future. However, the key point was that he always opposed Yuan Kai in the court.

Therefore, there was this opportunity. While getting rid of Ye Qingzhi, Yuan Kai also got rid of a strong opponent.

Killing two birds with one stone, she is so smart!

"Okay, okay, I'll follow your arrangements." Gu Man immediately smiled and busied herself with making arrangements.

-

On the second day, the servants of the Ye Mansion got up early in the morning and swept the yard again. They checked the red lanterns and colorful silks that were arranged yesterday to make sure everything was fine. They also made sure that the meat and vegetables needed by the kitchen were in place...

Busy feet never touch the ground.

The atmosphere for receiving distinguished guests is fully created.

Gu Man and Ye Yingxue saw all of this and had happy smiles on their faces, but they were actually secretly angry in their hearts.

Today is Ye Qingzhi's memorial day. Let's make some nice arrangements to give her some face and send her off.

Seeing that it was Si time (9 a.m.), Ye Yongyuan hurriedly took his people to the door to wait for the greeting, and sent several servants to check forward. When they saw the carriage of Jiangyang Marquis's mansion, they hurried to report.

Haven't waited for Ye Qingzhi yet.

Song Yixuan did come to the door, and Chen Yuankai came with him.

When Ye Yingxue saw him, her expression changed immediately.

Why is Yuan Kai here too? !

Gu Man and Ye Yongyuan also looked at Ye Yingxue, their eyes were somewhat different.

Gu Man was anxious and puzzled. Didn't they say that Yuan Kai was not allowed to appear here? Why was he here? Did the plan change?

Ye Yongyuan looked at Ye Yingxue with a strong warning.

It still doesn’t stop!!!

Ye Qingzhi is back today. What does she mean by calling Yuan Kai here? Who does she want to humiliate?

If the Marquis knew about this, would he be furious and embarrassed? Would he misunderstand that Qingzhi and Chen Yuankai are still together?

In an instant, Ye Yongyuan thought of many problems, but he could not fail to give face to such a talented future son-in-law who had the potential to become an official.

Don't put all your eggs in one basket. As a businessman, he understands this investment theory very well.

As for Song Yixuan next to him, he didn't know him, but he could tell that he was a student, so he naturally greeted him politely.

"My two dear nephews, we have distinguished guests coming to your house today. I'm afraid I can't entertain them. How about I send someone to personally invite you two to a banquet tomorrow?" Ye Yongyuan said politely with a smile.

"Uncle, why is there such a big ceremony? Which distinguished guest are you welcoming?" Chen Yuankai bowed to him and asked with a smile.

"My little daughter who entered the Marquis's mansion as a concubine is back today. She is a female relative and you are men from outside. It is really inconvenient."

Ye Yongyuan said it very bluntly, he was just afraid that the two of them would stay.

Chen Yuankai's expression changed slightly.

It turned out to be Ye Qingzhi who entered the Marquis' Mansion.

Judging from the situation, she must have been favored after entering the Marquis's Mansion, otherwise Uncle Ye would not have given her such face.

Ye Qingzhi was originally his fiancée... Chen Yuankai felt a little uncomfortable.

"After all, you and my sister have an engagement, so it's better to avoid suspicion." Ye Yingxue took a step forward. Because she was anxious, she didn't care about anything else. She pulled Chen Yuankai's sleeve and walked two steps to the side, whispering to Chen Yuankai,

"My sister is very favored in the Marquis' Mansion. If you meet my sister, the Marquis may think too much, which will be detrimental to your future."

When Chen Yuankai heard this, he felt humiliated, but at the same time, other thoughts arose in his mind.

But he knew that Ye Qingzhi was actually deeply in love with him.

At the Spring Banquet, he was seduced by Ye Yingxue and had an affair with her, so he had to cancel his marriage with Ye Qingzhi.

For this reason, Ye Qingzhi even hanged herself, all her love was for him!

For him!!!

If she knew that he had no choice, if she knew that he loved her so deeply and could not forget her.

Is it possible that after she has gained respect in the Marquis' Mansion, she will be able to contribute to his career in the future?

Xie Jin, Marquis of Jiangyang, was the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the most popular person around the emperor.

Doing things in his name, waving the banner and using his skin will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.

The more Chen Yuankai thought about it, the more he felt that this path was feasible, provided that he met Ye Qingzhi today and left her a few words.

"Mr. Chen, Ziyue, please leave quickly." Ye Yingxue called him by his courtesy name, urging him.

Chen Yuankai frowned, and then he heard Song Yixuan, who came with him, speak up.

"Uncle Ye, I have received a favor from Miss Ye, so I came here today to thank her. Can I wait here with her?"

Ye Yongyuan looked at Song Yixuan with some surprise, nodded, and said,

"It's not appropriate for my dear nephew to call her Miss Ye anymore. Please call her Aunt Ye from now on."

Song Yixuan pursed his lips, frowned slightly, and agreed reluctantly.

While they were talking, the servant who had been sent out came back happily, shouting,

"Master, Master, the carriage from the Marquis's Mansion is coming! The carriage is coming!"

"Hurry up and wipe your sweat, straighten your backs, smile, and be more energetic."

Ye Yongyuan quickly spoke to the other people in the family, with a smile on his face.

He glanced to the side and saw Ye Yingxue leaning against Chen Yuankai. The two of them had a very close relationship, so he felt relieved.

That's good too.

After a while, a carriage drove over, followed by eight horseback guards with swords, looking very majestic.

The large carriage of the Marquis's mansion was pulled by two horses and looked very luxurious. There was also a carriage carrying a servant following behind.

In Ye Yongyuan's eyes, this specification was like taking a reassurance pill, and he felt relieved.

It seems that my daughter is indeed very favored in the Marquis's Mansion, and there is such a scene.

When Ye Yingxue saw this scene, she was surprised, envious, and felt humiliated as if she was outdone.

She had also been to a marquis's mansion and knew how difficult life was there. She had a very hard time living there.

But what about Ye Qingzhi? She was favored by the Marquis so easily, and she was so proud.

Comparing people to each other is really infuriating.

Fortunately, today is her most glorious day and also her memorial day.

Chen Yuankai's eyes flickered as he looked at the guard of honor, and he became more and more certain of his previous thoughts.

Ye Qingzhi can definitely be used, as she has deep feelings for him.

The carriage stopped at the gate of Ye Mansion. Maids Ruyi and Chunyu got off the carriage first. Then they took out footstools and helped Ye Qingzhi get off the carriage.

Ye Yongyuan was in a trance for a moment when he looked at the noble lady in front of him who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, extremely beautiful and noble.

Is this his somewhat dull and timid daughter Qingzhi?

The Marquis' Mansion is indeed a place to keep nobles. My daughter has been there for only a month, but she has been transformed so much.

OK, OK!

Ye Yingxue looked at the delicate and noble Ye Qingzhi, and even seemed to see Ye Qingzhi in her dream.

Could it be that she was also reborn?
