Ye Qingge ignored Concubine Liu's increasingly pale face and continued.
"The descendants of the Ye family are all loyal ministers who go into battle to kill the enemy. They have never crossed swords with each other. Today, my younger brother rebelled. He's not a virtuous person."
"Such a heartless, unjust, and unscrupulous method will definitely arouse resentment towards the Ye family. It might even lead to punishment. Not to mention my younger brother's future, even the Ye family might be implicated."
Ye Qingge glanced at Concubine Liu. The latter's legs went weak and she almost fell. Fortunately, the young maidservant helped her up.
She sneered in her heart. She couldn't take it anymore?
It was not over yet. There was still the final strike!
"When my ancestor's foundation is destroyed by my younger brother, my father will definitely be furious. It's unfilial for a child to do this."
"That's why I said that my younger brother is heartless, righteous, and unfilial. Was I wrong?"
Ye Qingge still looked gentle and her attitude was very respectful, but it made Concubine Liu take a few steps back.
The surrounding servants were so quiet that they did not even dare to breathe loudly.
They were afraid that if they were not careful, this Sixth Miss would also give them a bunch of charges.
Concubine Liu clutched her chest and looked at Ye Qingge, unable to say a word.
When did this girl become so sharp-tongued?
And when did she find out so much?
Although she felt that what she said was wrong, she could not refute it.
"Or does Aunt also think that Qingge is in the wrong? Then why don't we wait for Grandmother to come back and tell Grandmother?"
Ye Qingge wiped the corners of her eyes as she spoke, but it was a pity that not a single tear fell.
However, her trembling shoulders looked aggrieved and helpless.
"Qingge is right. I must go back and teach him a good lesson. Don't trouble your grandmother with such a small matter."
When Concubine Liu heard that Ye Qingge was going to tell Matriarch Ye about it, she immediately cowered.
Based on what Ye Qingge had just said, if Matriarch Ye were to hear it, her son would definitely suffer.
How did she connect such a small matter with His Majesty's blame?
Would the emperor care about the war between the Ye family's children?
Although Concubine Liu had some doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to really let Ye Qingge try.
If she had been born in the modern world, she would have known that Ye Qingge's actions were called: magnified and overanalyzed.
When Ye Qingge heard this, she nodded very obediently and kindly advised.
"If that's the case, then don't bother Grandmother anymore. Aunt doesn't have to kill or torture my younger brother. He's still young. He just needs to be beaten a dozen or two times. If he's beaten too much, he definitely won't be able to take it."
No, when did she say that she wanted to kill or skin him?
More than 10 to 20 strikes?
"I'm afraid your brother won't be able to take it. Look…"
Although Concubine Liu understood what Ye Qingge meant and wanted to force her to beat her son up, her son had never been beaten up before.
He had already broken his nose today. How could he have to be beaten up?
"If you ask me, I also want to persuade Concubine. Little Brother is fine and can't withstand a beating. But Qingge is also afraid that a despicable person will misunderstand Concubine and say that Concubine allowed Little Brother to do that heartless, unjust, virtuous, and unfilial thing. That's why you didn't punish him and let him be at fault."
Ye Qingge glanced at Concubine Liu and said slowly, "If Grandmother finds out, I'm afraid Concubine will be punished too."
Her words were very clear. Either she hit his son, or she had to bear the crime of being heartless, unjust, virtuous, and unfilial.
Concubine Liu looked at Ye Qingge in front of her and was filled with doubts. She had never seen the Sixth Miss like this before.
Not only was she sharp-tongued, she even felt inferior in her ability to pretend to be a good person and act pitifully.
After what she said just now, she had taken all the credit, but she had forced herself to go home and beat her son.
No wonder Madam Bai was at a disadvantage and servant Li was beaten up, but she could not find any fault with her.
She had really suffered a loss this time. She had wanted to support his son, but she did not expect to be punished instead. She had really gone for wool and come home shorn.
But today's matter must not be brought to Matriarch Ye, even though Matriarch Ye doted on her grandson.
However, when it came to the Ye family's fundamental matters, she would not condone it.
Concubine Liu steeled her heart and made a decision. "Alright, I'll beat him up ten times when I get back."
After giving Ye Qingge a deep look, Concubine Liu turned around and walked back to her own courtyard.
"Take care, Aunt Liu."
Ye Qingge said as she watched Concubine Liu leave.
Not long after, a scream that sounded like a pig being slaughtered came from Concubine Liu's courtyard.
....
After yesterday's incident and this morning's incident, the maidservants in Ye Qingge's residence were all very well-behaved.
Even Gui Hua restrained herself a little.
After lunch, Gui Hua even offered to massage Ye Qingge's shoulders. Ye Qingge naturally agreed.
Her attitude towards her enjoyment had always been no different from that of a scumbag: she would not reject anyone!
"Miss, where did you pick up the gun yesterday?"
Gui Hua massaged Ye Qingge's shoulders as she asked.
This was the mission Madam had given her to find out what was going on with that powerful thing.
"It's in the courtyard. It's easy to pick up."
Ye Qingge closed her eyes, looking very comfortable.
"But why haven't I picked it up once?"
Gui Hua frowned and asked. She had served Ye Qingge for many years and had never picked up anything in the courtyard.
Madam had also asked Miss Yuyao privately if it was a treasure of the Liu residence. Miss Yuyao said that the Liu residence did not have such a thing.
Then where did Miss's thing come from?
Just as Gui Hua was thinking about it, she suddenly heard Ye Qingge ask,
"Gui Hua, how many years have you been in my courtyard?"
"Miss, it's been five years."
"Five years? That's not a short period of time. Gui Hua, if I need you to do something, are you willing?"
Ye Qingge sized up Guihua and paid attention to her reaction.
"I'll go according to Miss's instructions, Gui Hua will not refuse."
As Gui Hua spoke, she knelt on the ground and could not help but tremble in excitement.
She had been sent by First Madam to Concubine Liu's courtyard for five years to monitor Concubine Liu and Ye Qingge's every move.
However, Concubine Liu and Ye Qingge had been behaving themselves for the past five years. They didn't even know how to sow discord, let alone cause trouble.
If this continued, she would be useless to First Madam.
Now, Miss was probably preparing to make a move. When the time came, she would tell First Madam about this and let her know that she was still useful.
"Gui Hua, look at how vicious Madam Bai is to me and my mother. If you ask me, I want her reputation to be ruined. Tomorrow, tell everyone that she forced me to marry Minister Liu as a concubine. As for what to say, I don't have to teach you, right?"
Ye Qingge raised her eyebrows and looked at Guihua.
"Don't worry, Miss. I know what to say."
Gui Hua quickly nodded. She finally had a use for her.
"Alright, you can go out and call Tan Chun over."
Ye Qingge closed her eyes slightly and waved her hand to signal her to leave.
After Gui Hua agreed, she quickly left the room. After telling Tan Chun to go to Miss's room, she rushed to First Madam's courtyard and told Madam Bai everything Ye Qingge had told her.
Madam Bai had just suffered a huge loss. Now that she heard Gui Hua's words, she was even angrier and directly smashed the cup.
"You little slut. How dare you go against me? Watch how I deal with you!" Servant Li, who was beside Madam Bai, could not move now. She was afraid of what Ye Qingge would do to her, so she could only hold it in.
She ordered Gui Hua to continue to keep an eye on Ye Qingge and Concubine Liu. If there was any movement, Gui Hua would immediately report it.
