Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"At the beginning, I did have this plan, and I even asked Madam for her opinion. From what Madam said, it would be a bit difficult to do this.

After I learned who Nanny Zhang's master was, I also knew that asking Nanny Zhang to serve me might be embarrassing for Marquis Nan, which would make him embarrassed. "

Ye Qingzhi's charming little face showed worry and embarrassment, and she continued to speak frankly about her own mental journey.

"I just wanted to avoid making things difficult for you, but Nanny Zhang was indeed being tortured while staying in the East Garden, and her life was difficult.

I have been thinking about it for half a month and finally came up with this compromise.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is in five days. Could you allow me to attend the Mid-Autumn family dinner of both families?

By then, I will attend the family dinner, and my words, actions, rules and etiquette will be under the watchful eyes of everyone, and everyone will know exactly how I was taught.

I am confident that I have no problem learning these rules, and anyone who tests me or sees me will praise me.

Therefore, at the family dinner, the Marquis used the fact that Nanny Zhang had taught me the rules to free me from slavery. This would not only save face for Nanny Zhang, but also for the Marquis of Pingnan's Mansion.

Because Nanny Zhang is so powerful because she has a good master, that is Madam Lin, who is a model of aristocratic mistress. In this way, everyone is happy. What do you think, Lord Hou?"

"I feel like you've grown smarter since I last saw you."

Xie Jin said, rubbing her head and teasing her.

There is really nothing wrong with the idea she just mentioned.

All aspects have been taken care of.

It can be seen that this woman has a very smart mind. How she does things depends entirely on whether she puts her heart into it or not.

Obviously, Nanny Zhang put a lot of thought into this matter.

"Are you so attentive to Nanny Zhang just because she looks like your wet nurse?" Xie Jin asked her.

Suddenly he felt a little jealous. Why did he feel that she didn't care about him that much?

"Not entirely. I heard about what happened in the East Garden, and I really wanted to speak up for the late Madam Lin and do something for her people.

Please don't look down on me for being ignorant and nosy. I don't want to be nosy, but sometimes there are things that I just can't help. I feel upset if I don't do it. It's really helpless."

Ye Qingzhi said this and sighed in annoyance.

Xie Jin tapped her forehead unhappily, "You, a concubine, are speaking up for someone else's mistress, and you still think you are right?"

"I am your concubine, and I am much happier than that Mrs. Lin." Ye Qingzhi said confidently.

"With you protecting me, I live a very comfortable life and I won't die early. Of course I can complain."

Xie Jin was pleased with her words and stopped arguing with her about whether it was feasible or not.

Speaking of his late niece-in-law, Lady Lin Qingwan, Marquis of Pingnan, what impressed Xie Jin most was her fair neck that was revealed when she lowered her head.

It wasn't that he had any feelings towards Lin Qingwan. It was just that every time she saw him, she would bow her head and call him uncle, and never look him in the face. What he could see was never her face, but that part of her white neck.

It was very impressive.

"It's a pity that Mrs. Lin died too early." Xie Jin said,

"With her managing Pingnan Marquis Mansion, Pingnan Marquis Mansion may be able to make further progress, and there will be more promising children."

Ye Qingzhi sneered in her heart, thinking that it would be a pleasure to die early and be reborn, and no longer have to work like a slave for Marquis Pingnan to take care of the backyard. There was nothing to regret about it.

He is worthy of a scumbag like Pingnan Hou? !

The autumn examination was over. Chen Yuankai no longer had to stay in the examination room to answer questions and sleep. He felt liberated when he walked out of the Imperial Examination Hall.

However, he changed his mind and remembered that Ye Yingxue was still imprisoned in the dungeon of Jingzhao Yin, and he became depressed and upset again.

He believed that with Ye Yingxue's expectations of him, she would never betray herself in the incident of attacking Song Yixuan.

But, one cannot be locked up in a dungeon forever. After all, she is a beautiful lady.

Chen Yuankai went back to the inn, packed up, changed into clean clothes, and hurried to Ye's house to ask what was going on.

As soon as Gu Man saw him, she burst into tears.

"Wuwuwu... Yuankai, you have to think of a way to rescue Yingxue. She did that for you. You can't just ignore her."

"Aunt, please don't say that!" Chen Yuankai quickly distanced himself from the matter and whispered to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I will find a way and won't ignore it. But, in this kind of situation, I should be able to rescue the person with some money. Could it be that uncle doesn't want to?"

"No, we also invested a lot of money, but the Jingzhao Yin refused to release him, saying that this was a case that the Jinyiwei had instructed us to handle." Gu Man said, and cursed again.

"Ye Qingzhi must have done something bad in there and deliberately didn't let Yingxue out."

When Chen Yuankai heard the word Jinyiwei, he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

Xie Jin, Marquis of Jiangyang, is the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard. He must have intervened in this matter. Maybe Ye Qingzhi really had something to do with it.

Isn't it said that she is in favor now? It would only take a few words to persuade her.

"Aunt, the person who tied the bell should be the one to untie it. Instead of asking others for help, you should ask the person in Jiangyang Marquis' Mansion for help."

Chen Yuankai advised her, "Let's put aside our resentment for now. The most important thing is to rescue Yingxue first. That dungeon is not a place for a woman."

Gu Man cried sadly after hearing this, but she also knew that what Chen Yuankai said made sense, so she could only say,

"I'll send someone to try again. Some time ago, that little bitch did something outrageous and was grounded. She lost favor, and I don't know if she can do anything."

Chen Yuankai's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he wished that Ye Qingzhi would fall out of favor.

By the time he becomes the top scorer in the imperial examination next year, Ye Qingzhi will surely have completely fallen out of favor and will have to live a difficult life in the Marquis Jiangyang's Mansion.

By that time, he would definitely find an opportunity to humiliate her severely and make her regret not giving him face.

Smoky Willow Courtyard.

"Auntie, the Ye Mansion sent a message, asking you to ask the Marquis to release the Second Miss."

After Ruyi got the news, she sent it to Ye Qingzhi.

For Ruyi's safety, Ye Qingzhi did not let her go out of the house alone to inquire about the news, but asked Xie Jin for a runner to deliver the message for her.

Anyway, there was nothing she needed to hide from Xie Jin, so she might as well use his people. They were very useful and there was no need to worry about work-related injuries.

"Tell them a message. If you want me to save Ye Yingxue, that's fine. I want Gu Man to leave the palace and become my concubine again."

Ye Qingzhi said to Ruyi, "If you can't do it, then Ye Yingxue will spend the rest of her life in prison, or I will fall out of favor completely."

Ruyi gave her aunt an admiring look and excitedly went to pass on the message.

When Gu Man got the news, she was so angry that she smashed everything in the room.

Do you want her to leave on her own accord?

Bah, daydreaming!

She also has a future top scholar son-in-law to look forward to.

After a few days, when Chen Yuankai passed the imperial examination, she would put pressure on the master again, refusing to believe that the master would not try to find a way to save Yingxue.
