After that, she married Xiao Yuan Cheng and became a concubine to him. She hadn't suffered any from then either. Her days weren't that bad compared to the ladies and wives.
She had never seen such a bloody thing before. Don't even mention holding it in her hands!
However, she was frightened by Huang Bei Yue's imposing manner today. She had no choice but to hold it.
Huang Bei Yue moved back a step and faintly looked at Concubine Qin and the others who were soaked in the lotus pond still. She slowly stated: "Trouble to the Concubine Xue to help look after them. Concubine Qin doesn't know her manners and has an evil tongue. This Princess is punishing her to be in the lotus pond in order to reflect over her actions. Without this Princess's order, no one can let her up."
Concubine Xue nodded her head: "Since the Princess had ordered, naturally I will follow the orders. However, this whip-"
Huang Bei Yue coldly exclaimed: "I am afraid that some people won't cry until they have seen the coffin. Without a warning, they will become undisciplined and out of order. Therefore, Concubine Xue please stand to the side of lotus pond holding this whip which just killed someone. Let them see in order to deepen their impressions. Otherwise, in the future days, they won't remember the lesson!"
Want her to hold onto the whip and stand by the lotus pond? Then doesn't that mean she needed to stand for a long time? Concubine Xue listened to this and in her heart, she was terrified and angry.
But now, within the prefecture, there is not a single person. Xiao Yun and Xiao Zhong Qi aren't here. If she made her attitude tough then she might land herself with the same consequences as Concubine Qin. Then wouldn't be even worse?
"Don't worry, I will definitely follow the orders." Concubine Xue forced a smile on.
Huang Bei Yue nodded her head, satisfied. She turned around, slowly walking out of the garden, not looking at Concubine Xue or Concubine Qin.
After walking a couple steps, from the back came a trembling voice: "Third, third sister."
Huang Bei Yue turned her head around to see Xiao Ling with a terrified face on but forcing a smile on to look at her.
"Does the elder sister have a matter?"
Xiao Ling swallowed her saliva, not knowing where to place her hands. Before when she saw Huang Bei Yue murdered someone without any mercy, she was frightened to the point she didn't even dare to make a noise. Then when she slowly thought of the time she bullied her in the past, she felt even more afraid.
Xiao Ling was the type of person who was afraid of the bullies but bullied the nice ones. When Concubine Qin was impressive and difficult to deal with, she was afraid of Concubine Qin. She always followed Concubine Qin's orders but now that she saw that Concubine Qin had suffered under the hands of Huang Bei Yue, she was petrified of Huang Bei Yue now.
"Third sister, before it was the elder sister who isn't thoughtful and made a lot of mistakes. The third sister normally is forgiving. Please don't argue with the elder sister over this."
Huang Bei Yue tilted her head, thinking about it and asking seriously: "What did the elder sister do wrong?"
In Xiao Ling's heart, there was some hope that rose. She thought in her heart that Huang Bei Yue obviously inherited Princess Zhang's kindness and generousness, not going to argue with her.
"Well actually, it's nothing big anyway. Everyone is a family. It's inevitable for bumpy roads. In the future, this elder sister won't make any more mistakes." Xiao Ling hurriedly exclaimed.
Huang Bei Yue also slightly tilted the corner of her lips up: "Elder sister's surname is Xiao so how are you a family with me? You just happen to live in the same prefecture is all. Plus, I'm the type of person who remembers and holds grudges a lot. Elder sister needs to be careful!"
Xiao Ling's face turned white. She suddenly felt the whole body was icy cold. That servant's bloody corpse seemed to be in front of her eyes, rocking about. Her two legs were limp and almost fell down from not being able to stand straight.
Huang Bei Yue curled up her lips, smiling of some sorts at Xiao Ling.
"What is the matter with the elder sister? You must take care of your body ah. If you cannot be of use then I will be very disappointed!"
