Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Jin Bao pushed the door open, put the bowl of mung bean smoothie on the desk, took out the letter and handed it respectfully to Xie Jin.

When Xie Jin took the letter, he smelled a faint familiar fragrance, which was the scent of balm that Ye Qingzhi usually used.

"You go out first." Xie Jin said to Jin Bao in a cold voice.

Since Jinbao didn't see any instructions from his master, he could only retreat and wait with the anxious Ruyi.

Xie Jin took the letter but didn't rush to open it. Instead, he put it under his nose and sniffed it, like a pervert who was secretly smelling the clothes of a woman he fantasized about.

After smelling it, as if he knew that his behavior was inappropriate, Xie Jin's face became even colder and more smelly.

He opened the letter and raised his eyebrows in surprise. The words inside were not the obscene words he thought.

Instead, it was a very polite greeting, and even her expression of longing for him was very subtle, using poetry to convey her feelings.

Xie Jin didn't realize that the corners of his mouth were already raised high. Even if it was just a letter like this, without any obscene words, it could make him feel happy.

Is this a change of tactics? After learning the rules, has she really transformed from a little devil into a lady from a wealthy family?

Xie Jin couldn't help but think of Ye Qingzhi, the dignified and graceful woman who looked like the mistress of a wealthy family whom he saw outside the Ye Mansion last time.

I want to see her cute little face appearing dignified, but she is doing something indecent.

Xie Jin just thought about it for a moment and suddenly felt itchy.

He picked up the bowl of green bean smoothie that could reduce internal heat and started eating it. Even though he felt cold all over, from the tip of his tongue to his stomach, it did not extinguish the fire in his heart.

Xie Jin's eyes dimmed slightly. After putting the letter into the secret compartment, he walked outside.

It's time to check how well Aunt Ye has learned the rules.

-

Smoky Willow Courtyard.

"I pay my respects to the Marquis. May the Marquis live happily ever after."

When Ye Qingzhi heard the message, she stood up to greet him, bowed politely to Xie Jin, and paid her respects.

Xie Jin stared at her dignified and elegant attire, and watched her graceful and skillful movements, thinking that she had learned the rules very well.

The moment he saw her, the fire in his heart suddenly burned more and more fiercely, almost burning away his rationality, and he almost couldn't control the urge to hug her in his arms immediately.

The outfit she wore today touched his heart and touched his itchy spot.

Could it be that they were in sync? She just happened to give him what he wanted.

"Get up." Xie Jin took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to help her up, stared at her beautiful face, and said in a hoarse voice,

"It seems like you've learned the rules well."

"It's all thanks to Madam Zhang's good teaching." Ye Qingzhi smiled elegantly and asked softly, "My Lord, do you want to be settled? I will help you change your clothes."

Xie Jin: "…Let's settle them down."

Xie Jin looked at her and found her interesting and fresh. He actively cooperated with her performance, wanting to see how long she could maintain this dignified mistress look.

While Ye Qingzhi was changing Xie Jin's clothes, she frowned and said worriedly,

"I haven't seen you for half a month. You seem to have lost some weight. Even though you are busy with official duties, you should eat well and rest. It's best not to indulge yourself too much. Your health is more important."

Very serious!

There is no intention of seduction.

If these things and these words were said by other people, Xie Jin would not feel anything. It's normal.

However, when it came to Ye Qingzhi, he felt a sense of novelty and found it particularly interesting.

It's really new that the vixen concubine who always loved to squeeze him dry is now starting to care about his body.

Just now I said that he shouldn't indulge himself too much. Was that a veiled sarcasm about the fact that he had been sleeping with different people in the past half month?

Xie Jin felt that he was a little bit dizzy.

I want to hear more from her and watch her continue acting.

"My Lord, I have been learning the rules for the past half month, and I have not asked Ruyi to go out to get information. Is the Autumn Examination over? Is there any trouble with Song Yixuan?"

Ye Qingzhi hung his coat on a rack at the side and asked seriously, as if they were an old couple.

"The Autumn Examination will end tomorrow, and Song Yixuan is indeed in trouble." Xie Jin answered seriously.

"Your stepsister bribed a few thugs with money and asked them to break Song Yixuan's arm.

The Jinyiwei arrested those thugs, and your stepsister was also arrested by the Jingzhao Yin officials and put in jail."

"...Is this true?!" Ye Qingzhi was so surprised that she almost lost her composure, but she managed to hold it back. Finally, she frowned and asked, "What about now? Is my stepsister still imprisoned? Or has she been released after paying the money?"

"Who would dare to let her go without my order?" Xie Jin looked down at the dignified Ye Qingzhi and asked with an unclear expression, "Do you want to plead for her?"

Ye Qingzhi shook her head gently and said softly, "On the contrary, I think it's good to keep her locked up. I don't want to beg for mercy at all."

As she spoke, Ye Qingzhi had already stripped Xie Jin's clothes, leaving him only in his underwear.

Ye Qingzhi showed just the right amount of shyness on her face, "I will go to the bed and wait for you, Master."

As she spoke, Ye Qingzhi lowered her head slightly, walked quickly to the bed, climbed up, and lowered the bed curtain.

Xie Jin, ...

After waiting for a while, Xie Jin walked to the bedside, opened the bed curtain, and saw Ye Qingzhi lying there with a quilt casually draped over her body. She looked charming and deadly.

Xie Jin's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his eyes stared at her as if he was looking at prey, wanting to swallow her up.

Ye Qingzhi looked at him shyly, and waited for him to get closer to her. She hesitated slightly, raised her hands to hug his neck, and whispered in his ear, "Please have mercy on me, sir."

Xie Jin, ...

-

Afterwards, Xie Jin hugged her tightly in his arms and kissed her on the center of her forehead.

Afterwards, Xie Jin did not let her go. He held her for a long time before letting go and asking the maids and servants outside to prepare water for bathing.

"Master, can I ask you a favor?" Ye Qingzhi asked softly.

"Go ahead." Seeing that she was still acting, Xie Jin nodded with amusement.

"Master, do you think I have learned the rules well?" Ye Qingzhi asked him.

"Excellent." Xie Jin praised generously.

He was very satisfied with her performance just now.

"I learned the rules well, all thanks to Aunt Zhang. Aunt Zhang and I got along very well from the first sight. I felt that she was very much like my wet nurse when I was a child. I would like to ask for a favor from you on behalf of Aunt Zhang."

Even when Ye Qingzhi was begging for mercy, she was very polite and meticulous.

"What favor do you want?" Xie Jin already knew her purpose.

However, as an old maid, although it is a bit embarrassing, it is not impossible for her to have Madam Zhang come to serve her.

He could give her this face and help her out.

"I want you to remove Nanny Zhang's slavery, give her back her freedom, and then hire her as a nanny in the mansion to teach the girls and concubines in the mansion how to behave."

Ye Qingzhi said softly.

Xie Jin was stunned. "Don't you want her to come and serve you?"
