Yu Nianzhao snorted coldly, "Continue beating!"
That family of bloodsuckers made her furious just watching them.
"Yes, Princess Consort!"
Ye Qing gritted her teeth and continued to whip Ye Miao.
Having practiced martial arts since childhood, her strength was far greater than most won. After several lashes, Ye Miao was already dizzy with pain.
Seeing Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye’s distressed and angry yet helpless expressions, a burden in Ye Qing’s heart eased a lot.
"Princess Consort, this commoner doesn’t know how Miao’er has offended you. Please forgive us." Mr. Ye had just this one son, and he cherished him dearly. He couldn’t bear to see him beaten like this, so he quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"You took so much silver from Ye Qing before. Can you repay it?"
"We... we can’t repay."
"Then just a beating to repay the debt, isn’t it so easy and simple? You’re still dissatisfied?"
"No, we wouldn’t dare!" Mr. Ye was about to cry.
"Who would dare to reach out to Ye Qing for money again?" Yu Nianzhao’s icy gaze swept over, her imposing presence making Mr. Ye and Mrs. Ye’s hearts tremble.
"We wouldn’t dare, really wouldn’t dare, please spare us, Princess Consort."
"I don’t believe what you say. Better to make a written agreent."
Yu Nianzhao waved a hand, and Yiu Renjian presented a prepared docunt along with a tray of red mud.
"Sign and seal it. If you go back on your word, you’ll owe triple the silver coin." Yu Nianzhao handed the docunt to Ye Miao, "Of course, you can choose not to sign, but you know the consequences of offending Prince Su, don’t you?"
"I know, I know!"
Ye Miao sobbed, scrambling to grab the paper and pen, eager to sign and seal it.
Yiu Renjian showed Yu Nianzhao the signed docunt, and she seed satisfied, telling him to keep it safe.
"If I see you coming to Ye Qing for money again, don’t bla Prince Su Mansion for being rude." Yu Nianzhao left one last harsh word.
"Yes, yes, we wouldn’t dare." Mr. Ye and Ye Miao were terrified and panicked, hugging each other, and there was no longer any arrogance in front of Ye Qing.
"Get lost!" Yu Nianzhao sneered.
"Thank you, Princess Consort, thank you, Princess Consort!"
Mr. Ye helped the injured Ye Miao to leave quickly. Once far away, he vented his frustration by kicking Mrs. Ye.
Mrs. Ye was kicked down to the ground and took a while to hunch up and climb back up.
Ye Qing watched this scene, her eyes flickering with pain and helplessness.
Yu Nianzhao snorted coldly, "Your mother is from the generation most poisoned by feudalism, willingly following such a man. She has the face of longevity but a fate of being abandoned by everyone. If you’re unwilling to see this, want to help her, follow your heart."
Ye Qing quickly knelt on the ground, emotionally saying, "Princess Consort has already done too much for this servant, even performing this play for , willingly playing the bad guy. I’m endlessly grateful and will only be loyal to the master, no longer caring about strangers."
Indeed, she was now a maid by Princess Consort Su’s side, and the Mr. Ye, Mrs. Ye, and Ye Miao were no longer related to her.
Yu Nianzhao helped her up and winked at her, saying, "I’m not asking you to rescue her, but rather, not to waste your martial arts, occasionally becoming a heroine."
"A heroine?" Ye Qing showed a look of confusion.
"Mu Hongxuan, take Ye Qing to experience what it ans to be a hero." Yu Nianzhao snapped her fingers, smiled at her, and pushed her out.
Mu Hongxuan appeared in front of Ye Qing, handing her a half-hidden black mask, "Put it on."
Although puzzled, Ye Qing obeyed and put it on.
"Follow !"
Mu Hongxuan’s Qinggong was excellent, Ye Qing, though not as skilled, managed to follow him with difficulty.
Within monts, their figures disappeared from sight.
Dongfang Chenyuan, flamboyantly shaking a fan, ca over to ask, "Where is Mu Hongxuan, that boring gourd, taking Ye Qing? Dressing like that in broad daylight, are they going to rob soone?"
Yu Nianzhao cast him a sidelong glance, "I said they were going to be heroes, what robbery? Does Prince Su Mansion look like it’s lacking money?"
"It does!" Dongfang Chenyuan blurted out, then caught himself, giving a sheepish laugh, "The Princess Consort may not know, but although the Prince’s salary isn’t small, training Dragon Shadow Guards often cos out of his own pocket. He could be described as clean, but the truth is he can’t figure things out properly. People even deliver gifts right to his door, and he almost didn’t seize them, and over ti, Prince Su Mansion has beco quite clean. Other than ghosts and Evil Qi, there’s nothing else."
"Is that so... It’s really hard to imagine Xie Jiuxiao accepting gifts and money." Yu Nianzhao waved a hand grandly, "But don’t worry, as long as he obediently provides Evil Qi, silver coin won’t be an issue, I can also support him."
"Providing Evil Qi?" Dongfang Chenyuan scratched his head in confusion, then let it go, only listening to the latter part, smiling as he said, "The Princess Consort is truly a living treasure, ever since she ca to Prince Su Mansion, it feels like the mansion has beco glorious."
"Enough, stop flattering ."
Before long, Ye Qing returned with Mu Hongxuan, her mask removed, her face flushed, her eyes shining, and her spirit evidently much better than before.
"How was it? Was playing the heroine fun?" Yu Nianzhao teased.
Ye Qing, feeling embarrassed, smiled slightly, "Yes, Mr Mu covered their heads and beat them up, it felt much better in my heart."
Dongfang Chenyuan, enlightened, "So that’s what you went to do?"
"How was it?"
"Great, really great!" Dongfang Chenyuan excitedly gave them a thumbs-up.
"The main problem lies with those two n. Not beating them is frustrating, thinking they’re so mighty, but only able to lay hands on won, truly disgraceful."
Yu Nianzhao scorned them, "I hope they really rember the lesson, because if it happens again, I’ll make them unable to remain as n."
Dongfang Chenyuan and Mu Hongxuan simultaneously felt their lower bodies chill, forcing a smile.
Ye Qing took a deep breath, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Yu Nianzhao, "Princess Consort’s kindness, this servant will never forget for a lifeti."
"Alright, those close to naturally won’t be bullied by others, get up! Though the surna Ye sounds unlucky, how about changing your na?" Yu Nianzhao pondered seriously, "The na Ye Qing was given by your unfortunate father, originally thinking you were a boy, nad Ye Qing. The fortunes of them father and son aren’t good, better not to have anything to do with them."
Ye Qing looked at Yu Nianzhao admiringly, obediently saying, "Please give a na, Princess Consort, whatever you decide."
"Then be called... Zhixi, from now on surely blessed, a fate flowing like a stream, endless." Yu Nianzhao thought for a mont and decided on the na.
Ye Qing... Oh, no, now it’s Zhixi, for the first ti soone so seriously gave her a na, she was very touched, tears in her eyes, smiling, "Zhixi thanks Princess Consort for giving a na."
