“I don’t know.” Gui Hua looked up at Ye Qingge and said with an aggrieved expression.

“Gui Hua1? The fragrance of osmanthus is soft and sweet. It’s the most delicious to make osmanthus cakes. However, I don’t dare to eat you.”

Ye Qingge laughed mockingly.

“Miss, I really don’t know what I did wrong.”

“Oh? You don’t know? What about you guys? You guys probably don’t know either?”

Ye Qingge raised her eyebrows and asked the other three maidservants.

The two crying maidservants also shook their heads and said that they did not know. Only the other maidservant lowered her head slightly and did not speak or move.

“Looks like you know where you went wrong. Tell me then.” Ye Qingge looked at the maidservant who didn’t cry or move.

“It’s our fault for not protecting Miss and Concubine well,” the maidservant said in a low voice.

“At least you understand a little.” Ye Qingge nodded and looked at Gui Hua. “Do you know what you did wrong this time?”

“But Miss, we’re just slaves. If First Madam doesn’t let us move, we won’t dare to move either. Otherwise, we’ll be offending our superiors.” Gui Hua was still defending herself.

“That’s right. It’s true that you’re slaves, but it’s precisely because you’re slaves that you should abide by your duty as slaves. That is to be loyal to the master.” Although Ye Qingge said it lightly, it made people feel pressured for no reason.

Other than Gui Hua, the others lowered their heads even more.

“But Miss, First Madam has so many people. How can we stop her?”

“I’m not forcing you to fight to the death to protect your master. I probably don’t have that kind of relationship with you, but I can’t just stand there and watch your master get beaten up.” Ye Qingge paused for a moment before continuing, “Do you know that a servant who isn’t loyal to her master won’t be placed in an important position no matter where she goes?”

Ye Qingge glanced at Gui Hua after she finished speaking.

Gui Hua felt her hair stand on end under Ye Qingge’s gaze. Could it be that the Young Miss had discovered something?

Ye Qingge ignored Gui Hua and looked at the maid who admitted her mistake. “What’s your name?”

“I’m Tao Hua[Hua means flower].”

Ye Qingge raised an eyebrow when she heard this. Did the original owner come up with names following a pattern?

“What about you two? What kind of flowers are you two?” Ye Qingge looked at the crying duo.

“I’m Xing Hua.”

“I’m Cui Hua.”

Cui Hua on pickled vegetables? Was that alright?

…

Ye Qingge fell silent.

“From now on, your name will be Yuan Chun, and your name will be Ying Chun.” Ye Qingge said to Xing Hua and Cui Hua before turning to Tao Hua. “Your name will be Tan Chun.”

The three maidservants were stunned. Although they were a little puzzled, they finally agreed and said in unison, “Thank you for the name, Miss.”

“Young Miss, what about me?” Gui Hua looked at Ye Qingge. Why was it that everyone else had changed their names, but she was the only one who had not?

“Your name is pretty good, there’s no need to change it.” What Ye Qingge didn’t say was that since you wouldn’t be staying in my courtyard for long, there was no need to change it.

“Alright, that’s all for today. You may leave. Remember, those who sincerely follow me will not be mistreated.” Waving his hand at the four of them, Ye Qingge gestured for them to leave.

Although they had received the order, the four of them didn’t dare to move.

Ye Qingge put the gun back into the system and ignored them. She helped Concubine Liu into the room.

“Qingge, are you hurt anywhere?” When they entered the house, Concubine Liu held Ye Qingge’s hand and looked at her daughter with heartache. She couldn’t help but cry again.

Ye Qingge felt her temples throbbing. She was really afraid of women crying.

“Mother, I’m not injured, but Mother’s head is broken.”

Following the original owner’s memories, Ye Qingge found the medicine in Concubine Liu’s room.

She applied medicine for Concubine Liu slowly.

“I was useless and couldn’t protect you. In the end, I even implicated you. If I had known that Minister Liu was an old man, I wouldn’t have let you marry him even if I died.”

As Concubine Liu spoke, she started crying again.

She really did not know. Madam claimed that she had found a good family for Qingge to be Madam.

She believed it because she had been a concubine for the rest of her life. She had been bullied and looked down on by others, and she would never be able to raise her head.

Therefore, she did not want her daughter to walk her own path.

Unexpectedly, she harmed her daughter in the end. Not only did she marry an old man, but he also divorced her in the end.

“Mother, don’t cry. I’m fine. You didn’t implicate me. I’m just staying by your side. Everything is the best arrangement.”

Ye Qingge was actually a little afraid that Concubine Liu would cry. Whenever she saw Concubine Liu cry, her head would ache.

“But we offended First Madam today. What should we do in the future? First Madam will definitely take revenge.”

Concubine Liu stopped crying, but her face was filled with worry.

“Mother, don’t be afraid. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. Didn’t we drive them away today?”

“What’s the truth, Qingge? Did Ye Yuyao climb into bed?”

As Concubine Liu spoke, her heart ached so much that she was about to cry. Suddenly, she thought of something. “Remember to call me Aunt in the future. Only when addressing First Madam can you call me Mother. Don’t call me wrongly again.”

“Okay.”

Ye Qingge looked at the beautiful and weak woman in front of her.

Although she was in a sorry state, it did not affect her beauty at all. That kind of beauty that made one pity her was really difficult to not be moved.

It was probably because of her beauty that people hated her.

“Mother… Aunt, she was indeed the one who climbed into bed.” Ye Qingge nodded, not wanting her image to collapse too much.

Although it seemed to have collapsed beyond recognition.

“It’s actually true. I knew it. They did it on purpose. They must have done it on purpose.”

As Concubine Liu spoke, her eyes filled with tears again. “They arranged so many things because they wanted you to be their concubine.”

You’re probably wishing for them. She wasn’t interested in being Madam, so she gave the position of Madam to someone else.

“Aunt, it’s fine. I’m fine like this.”

Ye Qingge hurriedly spoke, afraid that Concubine Liu would continue crying.

“What’s so good about it? No matter what, you’ve been married before. Who will marry you in the future? I don’t want you to be like me. In the end, you can only be a concubine.

As Aunt Liu spoke, she lovingly caressed Ye Qingge’s face, and then sorrow welled up in her heart.

In the end, she still cried…

…

After leaving Concubine Liu’s room, Ye Qingge returned to her own room.

Concubine Liu had too many questions to ask. For example, how did Ye Yuyao persecute the original owner of the body and take away the position of Madam?

Where did she get that powerful ‘gun’ from?

Why did she suddenly change so much?

Ye Qingge still had to tell ninety-nine more lies to cover up one lie.

Fortunately, Concubine Liu was an innocent woman and easily believed her daughter’s words.

As soon as Ye Qingge entered the room, she noticed something strange in the room, even though she had never learned martial arts before.

However, her years of experience as a special forces soldier told her that there was someone in the room.

Ye Qingge quietly sized up the room, which places were suitable for hiding people.

As she thought about it, she wondered who it could be.

After sizing up the room, Ye Qingge’s gaze locked onto the beam. In the next moment, a gun appeared in her sleeve.

Just as she was about to raise it, a male voice with a hint of a smile sounded from the beam.

“Miss Ye, don’t misunderstand. I’m a good person.”

As he spoke, a tall black figure descended from the roof beam and landed on the ground without making a sound.
