Hua Yue was enraged by the two maids' unbearable words. She was about to scold them, but stopped by Ye Qingyi.

"Jin Ming, I just came back from outside and heard rumors everywhere, discussing that our elder Miss has stayed in Beauty & Fragrance Pavilion, such a filthy place, all night long. I really don't understand why she is so frivolous that even these servants are disgraced! "

The voice of the maid in blue was full of complaints and contempt.

The maid called Jin Ming giggled and said, "Yun Lan, have you ever thought about why she went there? I guess it must be because Prince Xuan was there.

I have to say, she's stupid enough to demean herself and compete with a group of prost.i.tutes for a man who doesn't even love her. She doesn't know yet that Prince Xuan and our younger Miss have already hooked up secretly. "

Her words aroused Yun Lan's interest in gossip. Yun Lan asked hastily, "Jin Ming, how do you know?"

"Last time, when the two misses went to Mid-Lake Pavilion, they happened to meet Prince Xuan. At that time, Prince Xuan lied that he was thirsty and asked our miss to get the kettle.

I didn't go far and then saw that younger Miss gave him a purple purse. I saw him several times later and he's wearing it all the time. "

Yun Lan sighed: "If I were Prince Xuan, I would definitely choose younger Miss, too. Because she is not only beautiful, but also good at martial arts while our elder Miss is nothing if without her lineal descent. Jin Ming, you are so beautiful that you deserve a better life than serving people. Elder Miss treats you well, so when she gets married, you may enter the Prince Palace together with her as a dowry servant. Sooner or later, you will definitely be liked by his highness. Don't forget me when you succeed. "

"Wicked girl! What a load of c.r.a.ps!" Jin Ming laughed and scolded smugly.

Then the conversation between the two became even more unbearable.

"By the way, do you think she was out all night because she fell in love with somebody there? It's said that some brothels also provide male prost.i.tutes. "

"Yun Lan, who do you think could be willing to face her ugly face? I'm afraid she will make all male prost.i.tutes impotent."

"Oh, Jin Ming, such a mean girl!"

Ye Qingyi listened patiently and realized that she had just gained a lot of information. Only then did she know that there were such audacious, gossipy and meddlesome maidservants in her yard. These girls had already planned to seduce Huangfu Xuan even before she actually married him.

In addition, she finally knew that Ye Hongling and Huangfu Xuan had hooked up long ago. She felt for the original Ye Qingyi who didn't know the truth even when she died. The next moment it seemed that something occurred to her and an enigmatic smile appeared on her face.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

Jin Ming and Yun Lan who were just chatting excitedly were startled by the sudden applause. They quickly turned around and found Ye Qingyi standing there smiling. They were as frightened as if they had seen a ghost.

"Well, Jin Ming and Yun Lan, good girls. It's not in vain that I treat you well."

Ye Qingyi said with a peaceful voice and approached slowly with a calm smile. However mild she seemed, she made the two maids tremble with fear and couldn't help kneeling for mercy and cried.

"My lady, please forgive me. I dare not gossip again!"

"Please forgive me, my lady, for the sake of my good service in your daily life!"

Hua Yue was full of anger. She spat and scolded, "You two b.i.t.c.hes. How nice our Miss was to you before. How dare you gossip so offensively! You have no conscience! "

Jin Ming and Yun Lan made such a huge cry that they attracted a group of maids in the yard who were all waiting and eavesdropping from afar.

Ye Qingyi looked around coldly, then shook her head and said to Hua Yue, "Well, some people are no better than ungrateful beasts. There's no need for us to degrade ourselves by arguing with beasts."

Hua Yue finally relaxed a bit after listening to her words. She thought for a while and said, "Miss, what should I do with these two b.i.t.c.hes? Why don't we just club them to death and see who dares to gossip in the future! "

Jin Ming and Yun Lan almost fainted when they heard this. They hurriedly crawled to Ye Qingyi and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

"Miss, you are merciful and gracious! Please forgive me! I've learned my lesson!"

"Miss, please spare my humble life! I dare not do it again!"

Ye Qingyi stood aloof, raised her eyebrows and said lightly: "You can rest a.s.sured that I will not be hard on you for the sake of your regular service."

Ye Qingyi intentionally paused for a moment. Jin Ming and Yun Lan were relieved to hear what she just said. However, after they heard Ye Qingyi's next words, their heart fell into a trough.

"It's Concubine Yun who sent you to serve me. If you were killed by me, wouldn't that embarra.s.s her? Therefore, I will return you to Concubine Yun, and I believe she will handle you properly."

The General's Mansion was now under the management of Concubine Yun. She had placed many informants into Picturesque Pavilion, including Jin Ming and Yun Lan. The former and original Ye Qingyi had a simple mind and didn't know it. But now as her soul and spirit possessed this body, she would not take a laissez faire att.i.tude towards this matter.

After all, Jin Ming and Yun Lan had served her. If she killed them, not only would she inevitably bear a bad reputation but other servants in the yard might be disappointed. Since they were sent by Concubine Yun, she would return them to her. Such act was equivalent to saying that Concubine Yun did not teach these servants well, which would definitely make her lose face. At that time, Concubine Yun would definitely teach Jin Ming and Yun Lan a good lesson.

This was how she killed two birds with one stone.

Hua Yue was always smart and realized her Miss' intention at once. She couldn't help but admire.

She felt that her Miss was soberer and more a.s.sertive since she woke up from the injury of her forehead. It's very gratifying for her to have such a transformation.

Ye Qingyi, who had not slept all night, looked tired and was going to go in and take a rest. Just then, there was a crisp knock at the door.

Ye Qingyi's eyes twinkled and she recognized Concubine Yun's voice. She smiled involuntarily, wondering if Concubine Yun came to condemn her for her beating Ye Hongling.

"Both Misses have always been on good terms. Which b.a.s.t.a.r.d is alienating them? If I find you out, I'll skin you! "Concubine Yun came into the yard swearing.

Ye Qingyi looked toward the speaker, finding a beautiful middle-aged woman coming in a rage. She was dressed in an emerald wide-sleeved Chinese dress dotted with plain cherries. Her skin was tender and well maintained.

Following Concubine Yun, there were her faithful servants, Mama Liu and Lian Gui. In addition, Ye Hongling also brought her personal maid, Xi Hua.

Ye Qingyi squinted and pondered with the corner of her mouth curved into a smile.
