Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"Wuwuwu... Master, I didn't do that. I don't dare to do that!" Gu Man knelt on the ground, hugged his thighs and cried bitterly.

"You have to believe me. I am not someone who cannot tell the difference between the important and the unimportant. If you don't believe me, ask Yingxue. She is still looking forward to Chen Yuankai's success in high school. How could she do something that would damage his reputation?"

"Dad, it was really a coincidence today. It was a misunderstanding." Ye Yingxue said, still feeling resentful towards Ye Qingzhi.

"Even if you hate me for snatching Chen Yuankai away, you can't shout it out in public. Yuankai's reputation has been ruined by her. I don't know if it will affect his chances in the imperial examination."

"If you have the nerve to do this, you should be prepared to be exposed. How can you have the nerve to complain!" Ye Yongyuan said unhappily.

"I think it's a good thing that Qingzhi entered the Marquis' Mansion. Otherwise, with your personality, the Marquis would definitely be displeased, and it might even bring disaster to the family."

Ye Yingxue was exposed in such a shortcoming, and the key point was that the truth was revealed. She looked very unhappy and filled with shame and indignation.

"If I find out that you're doing anything tricky again, I'll divorce you!" Ye Yongyuan finally kicked Gu Man and left with the threatening words.

He wanted to send someone to the Marquis' Mansion to inquire about the news immediately.

With Qingzhi gone, will the matters concerning the imperial merchant and official salt be ruined?

-

Jiangyang Marquis Mansion.

That night, Xie Jin came to Yanliuyuan again.

However, it was already very late, it was already 1:15 pm.

At this time, Ye Qingzhi had finished practicing yoga, taking a shower, and was about to go to bed. She didn't expect that the Marquis would come to her and ask her to work overtime.

Moreover, Xie Jin was still wearing the court dress of the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and had not even changed into his regular clothes. It was obvious that he had just returned from outside the mansion and had come straight to her.

It's so fresh.

"Master, what happened?" Ye Qingzhi walked up to him and asked worriedly.

"It's okay. I'll prepare some of my regular clothes for you." Xie Jin reached out his hand, lifted her chin, and kissed her on the lips.

He came to her place as soon as he got home from work outside because ever since he saw her outside, he had been thinking about tasting her little mouth.

After kissing twice, Xie Jin deepened the kiss, kissing Ye Qingzhi so hard that she felt weak all over and had to rely on him to stand firmly.

Xie Jin let her go, looked at her infatuated look, chuckled and touched her red lips with his finger.

"Master, do you want some midnight snack before taking a bath?" Ye Qingzhi calmed down her breathing and spoke.

"The chef that Madam hired has arrived. He makes good noodles. Can you ask him to make me some spicy oil noodles?"

Xie Jin nodded and let her make the arrangements.

After Ye Qingzhi gave Chunyu all the instructions, she returned to his side, looked at him and said with a smile,

"Your Majesty looks so majestic in court robes! I can hardly take my eyes off you."

"You are just sweet-talking." Xie Jin chuckled and asked her again,

"I heard that you went to the Ye Mansion today, and came back without even entering the door?"

"Well, Gu's company and Ye Yingxue are definitely up to no good. I don't want to fall into their trap."

Ye Qingzhi curled her lips and recounted what happened in front of the Ye Mansion.

The Marquis must have heard about it somewhere else, but that was not the content of her report, so she still had to say it.

"My lord, let's forget about the matter of the imperial merchant and the official salt." Ye Qingzhi said again.

"Hmm?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows and looked at her with an ambiguous look. "Didn't you say this was your goal when you entered the palace? Why don't you want it anymore?"

"Alas, Lord, people are mean-spirited. Good things come too easily, so they don't know how to cherish them." Ye Qingzhi sighed.

"It is heart-breaking when something that was within reach is gone all of a sudden. It is only when you feel the pain that you learn your lesson and realize that I am no longer someone they can easily manipulate.

I do this for their own good, so that they can grow up as quickly as possible and become a money bag that will not hinder the Marquis. "

Xie Jin, ...

If anyone says this woman is stupid again, he will hit that person's head with a knife, split it open and put some brain in it.

Well, the one who likes to say that she is stupid the most is Ye herself.

So, Xie Jin raised his hand and slapped Ye Qingzhi on the head, "I think you have a pretty smart brain."

"You had such a little brain, but I beat you to pieces." Ye Qingzhi covered her aching forehead, glared at him coquettishly, and pouted.

"That Song Yixuan, how did you think of giving him money for the exam? Did you know each other before?" Xie Jin ignored her coquettishness and asked again.

Ye Qingzhi shook her head, pretending to be scared, lowered her voice, and even said in a horrified tone,

"You may not believe me if I tell you this, but I don't even remember giving him any money, and I don't remember meeting him either."

"Huh?" Xie Jin raised his eyebrows, also surprised.

"It seems that what Grandpa said is right. I really lost some of my memories." Ye Qingzhi crawled into Xie Jin's arms and said anxiously,

"I'm a little scared. It feels bad to have someone suddenly show up and recognize me, but I don't remember anything. I'm really afraid that I've done something bad and have forgotten it."

"You are just a little girl, what bad things can you do? Even if you kill someone, I can cover it for you."

Xie Jin made fun of her timidity and anxiety.

"That's right. I have the support of the Marquis now. What do I have to be afraid of?"

Ye Qingzhi kissed Xie Jin tenderly, hugged his neck and asked coquettishly,

"Master, but you just said that even if someone kills someone, you can cover it up for them. If something really happens in the future, you can't ignore them."

"Look at what you did. I can't take the blame for everything. When you go out, use your brain more."

Xie Jin tapped her forehead.

"Look at what you said, Master. I am a concubine and I don't go out to socialize. How can I have so many opportunities to go out? I don't even have the chance to commit a crime."

Ye Qingzhi yawned, not wanting to listen to his leader's lecture anymore.

"Master, it's almost midnight. Finish your noodles and let's go to sleep. You have to attend the court tomorrow morning."

She is sleepy and wants to go to bed after get off work!

Xie Jin didn't know what was wrong with him. He didn't even go to eat the noodles. He pulled her into his arms, pressed her down and asked her to work overtime.

Ye Qingzhi,...

Ye Qingzhi was so angry that she used the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, which she hadn't used for a long time, and scratched his back a few more times.

Afterwards, in order to appease her little resentment, Xie Jin gave her overtime pay.

A box of valuable jewelry.

Ye Qingzhi looked at the box of jewelry and smiled.

She didn't like the box of jewelry, but she was laughing at the obvious improvement of her status in Xie Jin's heart.

Before, when she was acting like a spoiled brat, Xie Jin punished her and ignored her. Now he started throwing goodies at her.

This means that you may soon become spoiled.

-

The next day.

"Auntie, the Ye Mansion sent a message asking if the matter of the imperial merchant and official salt can still be done."

Ruyi went to meet the servant who came to Ye Mansion to inquire about the news, and then came back to report to Ye Qingzhi.

"Tell my father that the Marquis did not punish them for the disgusting thing they did yesterday because I was the one who took the blame.

You still want the title of imperial merchant and the right to operate official salt. It is easier to daydream."

Ye Qingzhi's words were extremely impolite, and she wanted to destroy Ye Yongyuan's fantasy and make him realize his current value.

Ruyi replied just like that.

After hearing this, Ye Yongyuan got really angry at Gu Man and Ye Yingxue again, and warned them not to do anything tricky again.

After scolding her, he quickly prepared 10,000 taels of silver notes, two prosperous shops in the capital, and some valuable jewelry and sent them to Ye Qingzhi.

Because he sent people to inquire, and found out that his daughter Qingzhi is really favored now.

After what happened yesterday, the Marquis went to his daughter's courtyard and not only favored her, but also rewarded her with a box of jewelry the next day.

At this rate, in time, my daughter will surely become the kind of favored concubine who can make the marquis lose his mind with just a little pillow talk.

My daughter is right. The Ye family must stand on her side and not hold her back any longer.

Therefore, in addition to sending Ye Qingzhi silver, shops and jewelry, Ye Yongyuan sent people back to the old house in Jiangnan to bring Ye Qingzhi's mother and older brother and younger brother over.

Obviously, in the Ye Mansion, because Ye Qingzhi was favored in the Marquis' Mansion, her mother who was shut up in the family temple and her brothers who were oppressed all heard the sound of the gears of fate turning.

It's different after all.
