Chapter 444: The Jealous Woman is Too Cruel

The madam proceeded to walk up to another concubine, who was so frightened that her whole body imdiately started to shudder.

The madam violently slapped the concubine twice, then coldly cried, “I am no ravenous wolf! Why are you shivering?”

But to her dismay, the concubine shivered even more intensely, tears fell from her eyes and she looked slightly pale in the face.

The madam furrowed her brows in disgust, then coldly cried, “n, drag this concubine who cannot comprehend etiquette out and give her twenty lashings. Teach her a lesson.”

Soon enough, this cowardly and weak concubine was detained by two servants. She was so afraid that she fainted the mont she was seized.

The madam let out an annoyed scoff, then slowly inspected the clothes and mannerisms of the other ladies. She checked to see if they looked proper; those who did not, were dragged out for punishnt. If they dared talk back, they would be executed.

Chu Qingchuan kneeled in the back with a terrified look on her face. She had to think of a plan to escape. Otherwise, the madam of the castle would kill her sooner or later.

After the madam finished examining everyone’s attire and mannerism, she grabbed a thick book from the maid beside her and randomly flipped to a page. She walked up to the concubine in the purple dress and asked in a chilling voice, “What is the one hundred and seventy-ninth house rule?”

That concubine curtsied respectfully and said, “One must not speak loudly in the castle at any given ti.”

The madam nodded in satisfaction, then turned the page and walked up to another concubine. “What is the two hundred and eighty-third house rule?” She asked.

That concubine similarly curtsied. “One must not raise their head in front of the Madam without permission.”

The madam smiled with satisfaction, then turned to another page and asked another concubine, “What is the four hundred and eighty-sixth house rule?”

That concubine took a mont to think about it before promptly answering back, as she didn’t dare make her wait. “One must not speak while with their mouth full.”

Slap! The madam violently slapped the concubine across the face and chillingly cried, “n, take her out and give her twenty lashings.”

Although that concubine was frightened, she didn’t dare move an inch. Instead she obediently let the two servants seize her.

The madam inspected another dozen ladies on their knowledge of the house rules. If one morized them incorrectly, they would be taken away for punishnt.

Chu Qingchuan was so frightened that her whole body broke out in cold shivers. As re ladies, they surprisingly had to study many house rules. If they couldn’t recite them from mory, they would be punished. The madam of the castle was truly awful! She really wanted to rip out her heart to see just how black it was.

The madam finished checking their knowledge of the house rules, then handed the thick book over to the maid beside her. “That’ll do. All of you may head back now. Rember, you mustn’t wander in the castle. Watch your puny lives, if you ever accidentally bump into soone,” she continued with a chilling voice.

“Yes, Madam,” Respectfully replied the ladies in the courtyard, as they promptly exhaled.

Thereafter, they led their respective maids and left the madam’s courtyard.

Chu Qingchuan tried her best to push down her sense of being, then also got to her feet and walked out.

The madam stared at the silhouette of Chu Qingchuan’s back, then asked a maid, “Until what ti was that Concubine Ninety Nine intimate with him for last night?”

“Reporting Madam, the Master was intimate with that Concubine for three to four hours, up until early in the morning.”

The madam smiled coldly. “That concubine does look pretty indeed. I wonder what family does she belong to?”

“Reporting Madam, I hear that concubine was captured in the firewood shed in the back of the courtyard. Nobody in the castle knows of her background.”

The madam’s gaze turned incredibly vicious. “Got it. I’ll wait for the master to be fed up with her, then teach her a good lesson, she’ll never dare lift her head up high,” she said with a chilling voice.
