Professional Ethics of a Concubine

Chunyu came into the room and first greeted Zhang Jingyi respectfully.

Zhang Jingyi impatiently asked her to stand up, and asked her anxiously, "What did Aunt Ye ask you to tell her?"

"Madam, it's like this. The Marquis went to visit my aunt just now, but my aunt happened to have her period, and she didn't know it yet, so she leaned against the Marquis, and then accidentally soiled the Marquis's clothes. The Marquis was very unhappy about this, and issued a gag order, not allowing the servants to spread the matter."

Chunyu lowered his head and told the whole story in a few words.

In fact, according to the maids, since the Marquis has issued a gag order, there is no need to tell the Madam about this matter.

After all, this is an extremely shameful thing. No matter how you look at it, it seems that their aunt shamelessly competed for favor and ruined her reputation.

Madam knows about this, and she can do whatever she wants to do with it, even suppressing my aunt is not excessive.

By saying this, the aunt is actively handing her own handle to the lady.

However, their aunt was very insistent and insisted that she come and report it voluntarily, saying that the matter must not be hidden from the lady, so Chunyu had no choice but to come.

Chunyu looked up at the lady cautiously, and felt relieved when he saw that she didn't seem to be angry.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Jingyi suddenly realized that this was the case.

No wonder the Marquis issued a gag order. It would be bad for his reputation if it got out.

After learning the truth, she felt even more complicated about Aunt Ye taking the initiative to report her.

Aunt Ye did not disappoint her. Even if she was just pretending, she showed her loyalty.

Zhang Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Does your aunt have anything extra to say?" Zhang Jingyi was silent for a moment and then asked.

Chunyu nodded repeatedly and quickly told Ye Qingzhi's instructions.

"My aunt said that she hid this from other people because she was afraid of tarnishing the reputation of the Marquis, but she must not hide it from the lady, because the lady and the Marquis are one, and the lady will only care more about the Marquis's reputation and hope for the best for him.

No matter how the lady wanted to punish her, she would accept it because she was the one who did the wrong thing.

The aunt also said that she didn't want the lady to misunderstand and guess that the Marquis issued the gag order in order to break up with her, which was absolutely not true.

My aunt said that she could live peacefully in the back house, thanks to the protection of the lady. She only wanted to be a concubine and would never dream of the position of mistress.

The aunt also emphasized many times that only a woman of noble birth, respectful and virtuous like the lady is worthy of being the mistress, and the marquis is an outstanding head of the family who has a plan in mind and will never indulge in love and favor a concubine over his wife. "

After Ye Qingzhi said these words of loyalty, Zhang Jingyi felt relaxed all over, and all the grudges in her heart almost disappeared.

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but think, how great it would be if all the concubines in the harem were as smart, good at behaving and flattering as Aunt Ye!

Then she can rest assured!

Unfortunately, talented people are always scarce, and it is hard to meet someone like Aunt Ye.

Zhang Jingyi once again confirmed that it was better for Aunt Ye to be favored than for other women to be favored.

The Marquis has been focusing all his attention on Concubine Ye recently, and the women in the backyard have become much quieter. Even if there are disputes, most of them are intended to target Concubine Ye.

however……

Zhang Jingyi thought of Ye Qingzhi's strict defense methods and her sharp tongue that was never forgiving and unscrupulous, and she couldn't help but smile.

She is really a hedgehog, making it difficult to deal with her.

She heard about how Aunt Qin took the initiative to strike up a conversation last night and then got humiliated.

"Alright, I know everything. Let Madam Ye rest peacefully for the next few days, get well and then serve the Marquis well."

Zhang Jingyi's mood improved and she said with a smile, "As for any punishment, of course there is none."

Chunyu responded respectfully and said, "Madam, my aunt has another request. She wants to donate a longevity lamp to Madam Lin at Xiangguo Temple. She wants to ask Madam to allow her to go to Xiangguo Temple.

However, if it is against the rules, my aunt said she would not go in person, and asked Madam to find someone to do it, and my aunt would prepare the incense money. "

Zhang Jingyi was slightly stunned, frowned and asked, "Why did your aunt think of donating the Longevity Lamp to Madam Lin?"

"My aunt said that it was thanks to Madam Lin's blessing that she was able to gain the old lady's favor. She owed Madam Lin a favor and had to repay it, otherwise she would feel uneasy."

Chunyu said again.

"If she wants to go to Xiangguo Temple, she can go, but she should wait until her little days are over before going out. She can't go like this."

Zhang Jingyi was somewhat touched and was very satisfied that Aunt Ye could accept Lin Qingwan's affection in this way.

However, she always felt that Aunt Ye sometimes acted a little wildly, so she gave her some special advice.

The spring rain came down, and I said goodbye to my wife and returned to Yanliuyuan.

-

The backyard of Pingnan Marquis Mansion.

Zhao Xinlan became seriously ill after the fright. She had nightmares all night and couldn't sleep well.

Now his face is pale, his eye sockets are blue, his eyes are bloodshot, and his lips are blue. He looks quite scary.

"Madam, Nanny Qin is back." The personal maid gave her a sip of water and said.

"Hurry up and let her in." Zhao Xinlan's eyes lit up, and her frail body gained a little more strength. After Nanny Qin came in, she hurriedly asked,

"Mammy, how much have you learned about Aunt Ye? Tell me everything, no matter how big or small it is."

"Madam, this concubine Ye is really problematic. I heard that she once hanged herself before entering the Marquis of Jiangyang's mansion. After she came back to life, her personality changed a lot. She originally didn't want to enter the mansion as a concubine, but now she is willing..."

When Zhao Xinlan heard this, her face was filled with horror.

She felt there was no need to doubt it anymore!

This concubine Ye must be Lin Qingwan reborn.

Although the matter of resurrection through the dead was outrageous, she had really heard of it.

Lin Qingwan is such a well-behaved and polite person, but she is willing to be Xie Jin's concubine. This shows that she will do anything to get revenge!

Zhao Xinlan regrets so much!

She shouldn't have been so proud. Before Lin Qingwan was about to die, she had to show off to her all her plans over the years and laugh at Lin Qingwan for being so stupid and not realizing that she had raised a son for her for so many years.

In the end, Lin Qingwan was so angry that she died!

How happy she was when she saw Lin Qingwan spit out blood and die because of her anger, and how regretful she is now!

But on second thought, even if Lin Qingwan was resurrected, what could she do? She was just a lowly concubine now. She could kill her when she was the marquis's wife, and it would be even easier to kill her this time!

"Madam, this concubine Ye is very favored now, and Marquis Jiangyang protects her very well. I also found out something.

Some time ago, the daughter of the Minister of Rites, Aunt Yao, wanted to kill Aunt Ye, but she couldn't find a chance, so she turned to attack her maid, who was also rescued.

Because of this matter, Aunt Ye brought a group of old women to Aunt Yao's house and slapped her in the face. They really beat her and tied her up. They were extremely domineering.

But in the end, Aunt Ye was only punished to learn the rules, but Aunt Yao was demoted to a lowly concubine..."

Zhao Xinlan was stunned when she heard this, and she started to doubt again whether this domineering and arrogant Aunt Ye was really the self-disciplined and polite Lin Qingwan?
