"Dongling, this servant has a stupid mouth. How could you take her words seriously?"
"How can there be empty words in this world? Moreover, concubine's beauty isn't only seen by Pei Yu older sister, this servant has also seen it." Dong Ling smiled as she said, "But Concubine Qin's maternal family is the Prime Minister's residence, which is rich and powerful. So it's only natural for them to live a well-off and glorious life."
Concubine Qin forced a smile. This little girl's words are full of traps, just like her master! How could she dare to respond? If she responds, she might accidentally fall into her trap!
Her maternal family is indeed glorious. The Prime Minister's residence has a big title, it is different from Concubine Xue. If they want to investigate later, the investigation would start with Concubine Xue first!
Seeing the normally arrogant and glorious concubines, young masters, and young misses in the lobby, all of their faces turned pale-white. While the unfavoured and powerless concubines and young misses started to gloat in delight. They were all waiting to see a good show!
Huang Bei Yue walked slowly from the door to the corridor. Dong Ling immediately went up to her and supported her hand. The people sitting in the hall didn't know what she was going to do, so they all followed her.
"After so many years, I originally thought that the family property left behind by my mother would be well managed by the steward, well cared for by my father, and highly valued by the various concubines. Who would have thought that after only four years since my mother had left, the residence is already completely overturned? Steward Zhou, the surprise you gave me today isn't small!"
Huang Bei Yue glared at Steward Zhou, who is kneeling on the ground and kowtowing: "Princess, please spare my life. I am not greedy, this is real, really …"
"Don't talk nonsense! If you want to fool me again, I will send Pei Yue to the border to serve as a military prostitute!" Huang Bei Yue's crisp shout shocked everyone.
"Someone come and beat him! Beat him until he speaks the truth," Huang Bei Yue loudly commanded. Those servants are new to the residence. Just a moment ago, they were bribed by Dong Ling. So now they naturally listen to Huang Bei Yue's command. They took out a thick stick and pressed Steward Zhou to the ground, ruthlessly hitting him with the stick.
These new servants did not have much status in the residence and were being suppressed at every turn. Their resentment against Steward Zhou wasn't a one day or two-day thing. Now, this was a good opportunity to vent it all!
"Princess! Princess, have mercy! This humble one has been wronged, this humble one has been wrongly accused. Princess, this is obtaining confession through torture…," Steward Zhou screamed his lungs out. That stick was ruthlessly beating him, and yet he still didn't spit out the truth.
Huang Bei Yue stood on the steps, looking at him coldly. She suddenly said: "Drag Pei Yu out and hit her too!"
"Princess! Princess, please spare this servant!" Pei Yu cried as she knelt down, tightly holding onto the hem of Concubine Qin's skirt, not wanting to let go.
Right now, it was already hard for Concubine Qin to protect herself, so how could she care about this girl? She lifted her leg and kicked her.
The two servants came over and dragged Pei Yu out. They threw her in the yard and hit her with a stick.
"Father, father save me! It hurts, father! Father!" Pei Yue has a delicate and tender body. How she withstand such a staunch rod? It only took a few moments for her to start screaming like a pig that is being butchered.
Steward Zhou's butt had been beaten so badly that it blossomed. He had been enduring it with all his might for his daughter. But now that his daughter was being tortured, he raised his head and finally asked Xiao Yuan Cheng for help.
Xiao Yuan Cheng's expression was ugly. He couldn't intervene in this matter at all. First, it was because Huang Bei Yue's power is unfathomable. The person behind her was someone that even the Old Master was wary of. He didn't dare to provoke her.
Secondly, in Princess Zhang's residence, Princess Bei Yue was the true master.
