Professional Ethics of a Concubine

"Very good. Since Master Liao Yin said that you are a blessed person, then if you take care of grandma, she will surely be blessed with more fortune and a longer life."

Xie Jin looked at Ye Qingzhi with a smile in his eyes, and his words were obviously trying to help her.

The subtext is that Ye Qingzhi is such a lucky person to take care of the grandmother. If the old lady still can't survive, it can't be blamed on Ye Qingzhi. If anyone should be blamed, blame the eldest wife who made the grandmother sick.

"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for your kindness." Ye Qingzhi bowed and expressed her gratitude.

"I'm not flattering you, it's because I trust Master Yin." Xie Jin emphasized.

Xie Jin was very satisfied with Ye Qingzhi's performance, and even felt surprised and astonished.

In today's occasion, she was pushed to the forefront, and her grandmother's safety was involved. If something happened to her grandmother, she couldn't think of any way to ensure her safety.

Unexpectedly, this time, she rescued herself from the deep pit again by herself.

If she hadn't gone to Xiangguo Temple today, she wouldn't have had this perfect reason, which shows that she is indeed a blessed person.

If the occasion was not wrong, Xie Jin really wanted to hold her in his arms, rub her, kiss her, and share in her good fortune.

When Zhang Jingyi, who was standing next to her, heard that she had drawn a very good fortune today and also heard Master Yin's words, her eyes lit up and a smile appeared on her face.

She glanced at the old lady beside her, as well as Zhao Xinlan, Jiang Rou and others, raised her voice again, and said with a smile,

"Mrs. Ye, I have long known that you are blessed. Today, when I went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense, it really came true!

Grandmother is surrounded by nannies and maids who are used to taking care of her, so you don't have to do it yourself, lest you hurt her again due to your clumsiness.

You can go in and tell grandma some funny things to make her happy and wake up soon. "

Ye Qingzhi was very grateful for her wife's advice, and she also provided her with all kinds of space and did not let her take care of things herself.

No matter what the outcome is, the Marquis and his wife have come to her rescue today and have done their best to protect her, so Ye Qingzhi is not so worried anymore.

Finally this class was not in vain, both leaders are good enough to get along with!

Xie Jin and Zhang Jingyi's attitudes made Jiang Rou take a closer look at this Aunt Ye for the first time.

She was not surprised that she could win over her uncle Xie Jin because she was so charming and beautiful.

However, it was a little unusual that even the wife of Marquis Jiangyang went to such great lengths to protect her.

Zhao Xinlan was also secretly staring at Ye Qingzhi, with fear and hatred in the depths of her eyes.

She must be Lin Qingwan!

Zhang Jingyi might know something because Lin Qingwan had a good relationship with her when she was alive.

Otherwise, as a mistress, she must be seriously ill for giving such face to a favored concubine!

-

Ye Qingzhi walked into the inner room and came to the bedside. Looking at the old lady with white hair and bad breath lying on the bed, she felt her nose sore and her eyes turned red before anything else.

Ye Qingzhi sighed secretly, thinking that when Lin Qingwan was alive, she must have treated the old lady as her closest relative.

Otherwise, seeing the old lady sick from anger and dying, she would not have felt such strong anger and heartache.

Ye Qingzhi sat on the edge of the bed and gently held the old lady's hand. Madam Shao, who was serving beside her, moved her lips but did not stop her.

"Grandfather, I am Ye Qingzhi." Ye Qingzhi said softly.

"Qingzhi went to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense today. Master Liaoyin said that I have a deep fortune and will definitely get what I want. Qingzhi thought that this must be true for the ancestor, because Qingzhi has been looking forward to the ancestor waking up soon and having a long and blessed life!

Don't worry, old ancestor. Qingzhi is here to protect you. Those bad things can't get close to you. When you have rested enough, open your eyes and look at Qingzhi, okay?"

After Ye Qingzhi finished speaking, she found that the old lady's fingers moved slightly, indicating that the old lady was conscious and could hear her words.

"Mammy, did you see that? The old ancestor's fingers moved. She can hear me talking." Ye Qingzhi said happily to Mammy Shao.

"Mrs. Ye is really favored by the old lady, and she is also a blessed person. The old lady is happy when you come. You should talk to her more."

Nanny Shao also spoke happily, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Ye Qingzhi was no longer defensive, but gentle.

"Grandfather, Qingzhi knows why you are angry. I have no right to advise you, but I feel sorry for you, so I remembered a similar rural anecdote and wanted to tell you about it.

It is said that there was an old lady named Guo in a village. She had many children and grandchildren. Some of them were ambitious and promising, while others were useless and only knew how to make people angry.

Old Mrs. Guo was so angry at her unfilial descendants that she often fainted and sighed all day long.

Later, she fainted from anger one day, and her soul was really possessed. She went to the underworld and met the King of Hell.

The King of Hell checked the Book of Life and Death and said that Mr. Guo’s life span had not yet ended. He clearly still had ten years to live, but now he had died in vain.

Old Mrs. Guo burst into tears and cursed her unfilial descendants again, begging the King of Hell to send her back to the world of the living.

The King of Hell took pity on her motherly love and agreed to send her back. However, he could not bear to see her suffer because of her children and grandchildren after she returned, so he gave her a message:

Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Don’t be a slave for them. Don’t force other people’s fate. No matter how hard it is, don’t make yourself suffer.

Grandfather, Qingzhi may not be a parent yet, so she doesn’t know the worries of her parents. So, I think what you said is very good and right, so I want to tell you..."

Before Ye Qingzhi finished speaking, she saw the old ancestor open his eyes, look at her lovingly, and say with a weak breath, "Well said."

"Ancestor, you're awake!" Ye Qingzhi was so surprised that she almost jumped up, and she clasped her hands together and bowed quickly.

Thank you Buddha, thank you Master Yin, you are a capable person, I will never slander you again for being a liar.

Crackle... The people waiting outside heard that the ancestor had woken up, and they all ran in, surrounded the bed and greeted him with all kinds of concern.

Ye Qingzhi was pushed outside, and she took the initiative to move back again and again, not wanting to take credit at all.

"Well done." Xie Jin walked up to her and praised him with a smile.

Ye Qingzhi also smiled, stretched out her little hand and quickly grasped Xie Jin's hand and then let it go, whispering, "Actually, I'm very nervous, my hands are sweating."

Xie Jin also felt the wetness of her palms. When he heard her say that, his heart softened. He looked at her with an unprecedentedly gentle gaze and his voice was also very soft.

"It's okay. Wait here first. I'll take you back later."

"Okay." Ye Qingzhi smiled and responded obediently.

-

The old lady woke up and the imperial physician said that she was fine, but she needed to rest and not make too much noise, so everyone went back.

Before Ye Qingzhi left, she went to the bedside to pay her respects to the old lady.

The old lady smiled at her lovingly. Because she was still weak, she couldn't say much, so she just asked Madam Shao to bring her more good things.

After expressing her gratitude, Ye Qingzhi took a bunch of rewards and followed the Marquis and his wife back to the West Garden.

As for the old lady, after everyone had left, she asked Aunt Shao, "Where is the master?"

"He was severely beaten by the Seventh Master and the ancestral hall was closed." Nanny Shao said softly.

The Seventh Master is referring to Xie Jin.

"It's a pity for Mingqing." said the old lady weakly.

"Back then, the old marquis insisted on giving the title to the Seventh Master. Now it seems that the old marquis was wise and far-sighted. The young master was really absurd and cannot support the family." said Nanny Shao.

"He is excellent, but too..." The old lady sighed softly, "This small Marquis's mansion can't and shouldn't hold him back any longer."
