Concubine Qin was stunned. The maids all shook in fear too, seeming as though they hadn't listened to Huang Bei Yue's words clearly. At one moment, they were all shocked.
"Go off!" The shout filled with coldness seemed to be mixed with the deep smell of blood!
Concubine Qin and a couple of maids were frightened. They didn't dare to say anything more, all jumping into the lotus pond. They soaked themselves in the icy water.
Growing this big, she had never seen Concubine Qin who was that rampant and domineering be in such a difficult situation. In her heart, she felt delighted!
"Third, third young miss, this maid can stay here to watch them. You, you can go back to rest." Seeing such a horrifying scene which she killed a person, Pei Xiang had lingering fears. When she talked to Huang Bei Yue, she stumbled with her words.
In her heart, she secretly celebrated that she was lucky for being smart, having future sights that she had moved to the third young miss's side already. Otherwise, based on her normal style of arrogance, the person who she murdered will definitely be her!
This third young miss had harsh methods, not showing mercy at all. If they should be murdered, they were murdered. She made prompt decisions. Within the imperial family and noble families of Nan Yi Country, there were only a couple of people like the third young miss.
She dared to assert that the third young miss, in the future, will definitely accomplish huge events. This insignificant prefecture of Princess Zhang can't block her, no, maybe, even the Nan Yi Country is not a place where she can fly her wings high.
Huang Bei Yue faintly stared at a couple of people's gazes on her, looking fearfully within the lotus pond. She wanted to nod her head. When Pei Xiang becomes harsh, she is well-comforted.
But at this time, there came a maid's voice from the garden: "Who is making so many noises? They have startled Concubine Xue's rest!"
As they said this, a couple of beautiful maids escorted Concubine Xue who just had her nap, slowly walking over.
That Concubine Xue didn't expect for Huang Bei Yue to come back so early either. She raised her head to look at her. First, she was stunned then shocked when she saw Concubine Qin who was soaked by the freezing water in the lotus pond.
Such an arrogant Concubine Qin would land herself in such a position?
Then when she saw the house servant who hung on the fake mountains, whipped to death by the back of the Huang Bei Yue's side, her footsteps halted.
The maids by Concubine Xue's side screamed: "Dead person! Dead person ah. Quick, quickly go call for the authorities that there is someone dead in the prefecture!"
Pei Xiang looked towards Huang Bei Yue, seeing that she coldly pursed her lips, not wanting to speak at all. Therefore, she yelled in a loud voice: "What are you guys making an unnecessary racket about? Why does it matter that a couple of servants that the prefecture takes care of are dead? Report to which authority? Which government dares to manage this?!"
In this time period, within every noble family's home, there were always servants they kept. The type of servants where for many generations, their lives and freedoms all belonged to the master. Since birth, they were servants/maids for all the generations coming. Unless the master had a kind heart and removed them from the list of servants. Otherwise, within the records of the government, it will portray themselves as servants for all the generations.
The life and death of servants, the government is unable to manage it. They are like privately raised domestic animals. Whether life and death, it is determined by the master's decisions.
The system in which the prefecture looked after servants had lasted for many generations. When Huang Bei Yue first arrived, she was against this rule. Now, she still disliked this rule.
When Princess Zhang was still here, she had removed everyone from the list of servants within the prefecture of Princess Zhang and return their freedom back to them. She also gave them money, letting them work to support themselves.
But ever since Princess Zhang passed away, Xiao Yuan Cheng and a couple of concubines felt that within the noble family, if they don't have a couple of servants, they would be losing faces. Therefore, they brought a group of servants from outside with high prices back into the prefecture, having them live behind the alley of the prefecture of Princess Zhang.
