Jin Wang Dotes on His Concubine

No one could answer this question and Yaoniang couldn’t ask others. She could only hide it in her heart.

While she was pondering, a little girl rushed in from outside and yelled, “Something happened outside.”

“What happened?”

“Liuchun– Liuchun Pavilion, side consort Hu wants to punish Cuizhu with flogging…”

“What’s going on? Why would Cuizhu be beaten?”

Everyone stared speechless at one another. Yaoniang couldn’t help but have a bad premonition.

“I heard that Cuizhu stole side consort Hu’s jewelry, which Qiao’er found. That hairpin was rewarded to side consort Hu by Jin Wang and she likes it very much, so side consort Hu was furious when she found out Cuizhu stole it…”

Someone could not help but cut in: “Cuizhu is from the lateral courtyard, how could side consort Hu hit her without restraint…?” After saying this, she couldn’t continue speaking.

Side consort Hu is a master, while Cuizhu is only a wet nurse. The wet nurse is also a servant, not to mention Cuizhu was born in an ordinary family. Even if she is a civilian, under the identity of side consort Hu, she could also be beaten to death. Cuizhu can’t even cry out a protest.

They can’t help but get curious and see what happened. Although it’s just a wet nurse, she is still involved with so many people. She was arranged by consort Jin in Siyi courtyard and her aunt is Madam Cao who still works in the mansion. What more, the whole family of Cuizhu are maids of consort Jin and Cuizhu is the wet nurse of the little princess.

Side consort Hu intends to go against consort Jin. The latter has also expected side consort Hu will cause troubles.

In the Liuchun Pavilion, Cuizhu is thrown on the ground and looked extremely embarrassed.

Her deep red shirt is covered with dust. Her hair is messy and her face is dirty but she is staring at one person in the crowd.

That is Meizhi.

Cuizhu never expected Meizhi to set her up in such way. She did not know why side consort Hu’s hairpin was on her body. Before that, she kept talking with Meizhi. But no matter how she explained it, no one believed her except for Meizhi, several maids stood up to prove that she sneaked into side consort Hu’s room.

Cuizhu knows that this is a deliberate trap set up for her.

Actually, this trap is very sketchy. How could she enter side consort Hu’s room and steal her hairpin? Did they think she lost her mind!

No one paid attention to this. Since the master said you did it then you have done it.

There are many people standing around. Most of them servants in the Liuchun Pavilion while some are from the lateral courtyard. Most people from the lateral courtyard stood in the background looking at Cuizhu who is thrown on the ground with a sullen expression.

In fact, everyone understood the reason. But if Cuizhu didn’t go to Liuchun Pavilion, this kind of thing wouldn’t have happen.

Yaoniang is also here.

She knew she shouldn’t have come but she’s here already. She wants to see what will happen next. She remembers that she was punished by side consort Hu in her previous life and she was also beaten several times.

She never thought that in this lifetime she would not take the lead, instead it is Cuizhu’s turn to suffer.

She felt a bleak sense of sadness.

“Side consort Hu told us to punish her with flogging five times. A stumble may prevent a fall.” Qiuju came out of the house and said on the stairs.

After all, side consort Hu still did not dare to kill people from Siyi courtyard.

Someone responded. After a while, two women came over with a bench and a plank.

Cuizhu’s mouth has been blocked for a while now because she shouted. The woman tied her up on the bench and said, “It’s just five floggings, which can’t kill anyone. You should learn a lesson from now on.”

Cuizhu was flogged and only the sound of muffled hum could be heard.

Yaoniang didn’t want to look again and quietly left.

She was a little bit sad. She remembered what happened to her in the previous life.

Five floggings didn’t hurt too much. After Cuizhu was beaten, she could also walk by herself.

Before side consort Hu spoke, Mammy Mu ordered people to send Cuizhu away.

For now, it is inappropriate for Cuizhu to stay in the lateral courtyard. Not to mention whether she stole side consort Hu’s hairpin or not, there are many wet nurses around the little princess. If Cuizhu is not here, a lot of trouble will be avoided.

Obviously, Cuizhu is a troublemaker. Mammy Mu would not let the troublemaker stay with the little princess.

Yaoniang was suddenly enlightened that perhaps she was sent away in her previous life like this. It doesn’t matter whether you made a mistake or was wronged. The people above do not care. They only measure fundamentally whether you could stay or not and they don’t care what kind of results this would bring to the other person’s life.

Yaoniang wanted to avoid these things simply relying on the lessons from her previous life. But after seeing Cuizhu’s outcome with her own eyes, she had a deep understanding.

Recognizing the reasoning of the superior.

She thinks that Cuizhu will come back again if consort Jin really thinks as she guessed.

Sure enough, Cuizhu returned the next day and was sent to Liuchun Pavilion by consort Jin.

Consort Jin said that side consort Hu is skillful in teaching the servants and this unmanageable girl should be sent to her for a lesson. Although the consequence is totally different from that in Yaoniang’s previous life, they ended up in the same way.

What will happen to Cuizhu?

As soon as Yaoniang thought about it, she couldn’t help but shiver.

Why did she think consort Jin is a good person in her previous life?

However, when Cuizhu came to the lateral courtyard to pack her things, Yaoniang saw her smiling face.

Seeing Yaoniang, Cuizhu’s face was full of conceit: “Wet nurse Su, you stayed up all night yesterday. Don’t you need to rest today?”

Yaoniang was speechless.

“Each person is different. Some people are born to be slaves, while some are destined to be different.” Then Cuizhu left with her things. Yaoniang watched her back and was at a loss.

At first, Yaoniang couldn’t understand why Cuizhu is so arrogant but she realized immediately that perhaps everyone’s pursuit is different. She thought of how Cuizhu enjoys her bitterness as if it were malt sugar.

She wondered if Consort Jin said something to Cuizhu.

The development of the matter had been completely different from that of the previous life. Yaoniang finally did not have to worry about repeating the same mistakes. But all this did not let her guard down, in fact she was even more cautious than before.
