Return Ten Times As Much [10]
“What Princess said is right. It’s this official’s fault for not teaching my family well.”
Xiao Yun and the others paled in fear. For many years, they have been used to calling their own birth mother, as ‘mother’. After all, Princess Zhang is no longer alive. Because she is no longer alive, there was no one else in the residence who would care about this matter.
However, they had all just realized that calling their birth mother, ‘mother’, go against the rules. By addressing their birth mother who are only lowly concubines as ‘mother’, it would raise their status to the same level as Princess Zhang. This is extremely disrespectful considering that Princess Zhang is a princess. Furthermore, they would have to bear the crime of disrespecting royalty.
“Why they still here? Quickly drag them away and beat them. They are merely concubines yet they still dare to act so arrogantly. Flog those lowly concubines to death with the rod. Their corpse is not allowed to be buried and their memorial tablet cannot enter the ancestral hall!” Princess Ying Ye’s gaze was full of loathing and disgust as she glanced at the concubines.
The Black Calvary didn’t dare to slight Princess Ying Ye. They immediately dragged Concubine Qin and Concubine Xue out to the courtyard and ruthlessly hit them with the rod. The soldiers have to continuously hit them with the rod until they are dead.
Once they receive the Commander of Justice’s command token and check their bank accounts at the Bu Ji Er family, all the little tricks and schemes they had committed over the years would be exposed.
Concubine Qin and Concubine Xue felt their heart turn into ash. They are being dealt by Princess Ying Ye. Furthermore, with Commander of Justice Geng here, their roads are all blocked.
When the two people were hit by the rod, their blood-curdling screams resounded throughout Princess Zhang’s residence.
“Third Sister, I beg you to say something and save the concubines,” Xiao Rou cried out as she begged her. She kneeled on the ground as she walked towards Huang Bei Yue’s foot. Xiao Rou isn’t stupid. She knows that Princess Ying Ye was doing this in order to help Huang Bei Yue. As long as Huang Bei Yue plea for leniency for the two concubines, Princess Ying Ye would definitely give her face and stop.
Huang Bei Yue peacefully sat on the chair. There wasn’t even a hint of sympathy present on her young and delicate looking face. Instead, her expression was calm and indifferent.
She slightly lowered her head and looked at Xiao Rou, slowly said, “Fourth Sister, all the deeds that Concubine Qin and Concubine Xue had done has all come to light. There is concrete evidence supporting their misdeeds. Now that the matter has come to this point, I advise you to try to convince Concubine Qin to tell us any other matters she had concealed. If she truthfully confesses, Princess Ying Ye might spare her life.”
Xiao Rou’s eyes were full of tears. She knew that Huang Bei Yue was giving her two choices. Either she confesses all the matters that her mother had concealed, or watch her mother be beaten to death by the rod!
“Originally Concubine Qin was afraid that the servants in the residence would become greedy and steal the money and items. So she had hidden a portion of the money and items. In the future, when Third Sister comes of age, all the items and money would be given to Third Sister. Last night, Concubine Qin had already told me to tell all of this to Third Sister!”
At the moment, Xiao Rou exposed all the money and items Concubine Qin had hid for many years. The total amount of the items and money that was hidden was quite large. This made Luo Luo from the Bu Ji Er family to click his tongue in disgust.
After Huang Bei Yue listened, she nodded her head, “Concubine Qin knows how to do things properly.” As she says this, she faintly glanced at the pale-faced Xiao Yun.
Xiao Yun trembled. Does this mean that she has to sell out her mother too? If she reveals all the things her mother had secretly stashed away without other people’s knowledge, would Huang Bei Yue really spare them?
Concubine Xue’s blood-curdling scream could be heard over and over again. This made Xiao Yun tremble in fear. She doesn’t have much time to consider everything. If she continues to drag this on, her mother will definitely be beaten to death!
She is only sixteen years old this year. She isn’t like Huang Bei Yue who had lived two lives. Huang Bei Yue had experienced countless matters and interacted with many deceitful and treacherous people. When it comes to psychological games, Xiao Yun is definitely not Huang Bei Yue’s opponent.
Hearing the sound of the screaming gradually weakening, Xiao Yun could only kneel on the ground and plead.
“Third Sister, I will admit everything. Please consider how well Concubine Xue had treated you in the past and spare her!”
“It’s for the best if Second Sister is willing to confess. However, don’t try to conceal anything.”
