The Self-cultivation of a Salted Fish Concubine

Chapter 149 Concubine Jiang: "How dare you take my life?!"

Dong'er tried to redeem herself: "Princess, please understand. My master was certainly wrong, but it was Concubine Lian who was disrespectful first. All her actions were for the sake of the palace and the prince..."

"Bah!" Zi Su couldn't stand it any longer and spat at Dong'er, "You black-hearted bitch, you're as shameless as your master!"

Now that things had come to this, Zi Su simply spilled all the good things that Concubine Jiang had done some time ago.

"My master has just entered the mansion and is extremely respectful and fearful of the concubines and concubines. He dares not offend them in the slightest."

Zi Su's eyes were filled with tears: "But suddenly one day, Concubine Jiang sent someone to say that she wanted to see our master, and brought our master to Songya Courtyard."

"First, he was punished for no apparent reason by being made to copy Buddhist scriptures. He copied so hard that his hands were shaking. He couldn't even hold up his chopsticks for several days."

"They made me peel lotus seeds with my hands until they bled, and then I was forced to kneel and get spanked... every single one of them was really torturous. It was truly vicious."

"My master has been crying every day these days, but she is a coward. She is afraid of offending others and annoying the princess, so she has to bear all the grievances by herself!"

"Now Concubine Jiang is saying that she is disrespectful with her words. She is really bullying the dead and wrongly accusing them!"

"Even if you are a concubine, you can't bully others like this, right?!"

Dong'er was annoyed: "Nonsense!"

"It's obvious that my master took pity on your master's humble origins and specially summoned her to learn the rules, wanting to teach her a lesson. But who knew she had no sense at all..."

Zi Su: "Princess, why does the mansion need Concubine Jiang to teach the concubines?! Concubine Jiang's actions are beyond the rules!"

Dong'er retorted, "Since you say my master has overstepped the bounds, why didn't you report it to the princess earlier?"

"Your master was too timid to speak out, so why didn't you, a loyal servant, say a word? And now you're speaking out in Songya Courtyard again?"

"It's clearly something that didn't happen before, and now they're just taking advantage of the opportunity!"

"Enough!" the princess said.

She didn't have time to watch the two girls bickering.

Dong'er and Zisu immediately shut up.

The princess asked again, "What about Xing'er? Do you think Dong'er is right, or Zisu is right?"

"Of course, this matter can't be concluded based on just a few words from you two. But if it's later proven that someone lied... hmph."

A low hum startled Xing'er and made her tremble all over.

Xing'er lowered her head, suppressing the fear in her heart, "Replying to Princess. Our master has no intention of harming anyone. She just wants to teach Concubine Lian a thing or two..."

Dong'er suddenly stared at her with wide eyes, "You..."

Mother Li was furious. "We already have the prince and princess in the mansion, why do we need Concubine Jiang to teach a concubine?!"

"So, Concubine Jiang has been overstepping the bounds from the very beginning. She has lost sight of her own status and has relied on it to wantonly bully and humiliate a concubine. This is so despicable, and the princess will not let her off lightly!"

Concubine Jiang's cheeks were red and swollen, and she couldn't even speak clearly, but she still tried to argue.

"Who knows whose bastard she's carrying? A slut who's been fucked by thousands of people in a brothel!"

"As the mistress, your Highness should be in charge of this matter. If you don't do anything now, you are derelict in your duty. As a concubine, I naturally cannot watch such a dirty thing happen in the palace..."

The princess looked at Concubine Jiang below with a serious look in her eyes and told her the core of the matter.

"Concubine Jiang, no matter whose child Concubine Lian's belly belongs to, it is not your turn as a concubine to deal with it."

"You gave her abortion pills without her permission, nearly killing her twice, and then you lynched her and disfigured her. Your crimes are heinous and unforgivable!"

As the words fell, the princess's momentum rose steadily.

It fell on Concubine Jiang, who mumbled, "I'm the concubine granted marriage by the Emperor, and listed on the imperial jade disc!"

"How dare you take my life?!"

The princess said indifferently: "Of course I don't dare."

"This is Prince Jing's Mansion, not anyone's private torture chamber, and not everyone is as arrogant and vicious as Concubine Jiang."

Concubine Jiang's eyes were filled with hatred, and there was also a bit of fear that could not be concealed.

She looks strong on the outside but is actually weak on the inside, and she is very scared when she really confronts the princess.

"What do you want to do to me?!"

The princess said calmly, "Mother Li, first seal off Songya Courtyard and place Concubine Jiang under house arrest. Wait until the prince returns, and then we'll deal with it."

Concubine Jiang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just grounding.

When the prince comes back, he will definitely understand her painstaking efforts and will never allow the evil creature in Concubine Lian's belly to live.

I’m afraid that by then the princess will have to be severely punished and justice will be done for her.

The princess saw through Concubine Jiang's little thoughts, and her eyes fell on the maids below.

"Mother Huang instigated the master to feed the concubines in the mansion an abortion drug. This is an unforgivable crime. She shall be punished with forty strokes of the cane and sent to the Jingzhao Yin."

Mother Huang's eyes suddenly widened.

The princess is clearly trying to take her life!

Not to mention whether she could withstand forty strokes of the cane, once she became the Jingzhao Yin, how could she, a powerless old woman, get out safely?

Concubine Jiang was also dissatisfied, "Mother Huang is my person, what qualifications do you have to deal with her?"

The princess raised an eyebrow: "Your people? Concubine Jiang, are you admitting that today's events were all orchestrated by you?"

"That's good. My sisters, listen carefully. Otherwise, when the prince comes in the future, Concubine Jiang will turn against me and deny my responsibilities. She might even think I've wronged someone!"

The princess ignored Concubine Jiang and looked at Xing'er and Dong'er. "You two are aiding and abetting the evil, harboring evil intentions! You deserve the death penalty, and you deserve no pardon for your crimes even if you live..."

Dong'er and Xing'er quickly knelt down and begged for mercy.

At this moment, Wan Linlang suddenly bowed and said, "Princess, I would like to plead for our maid Xing'er."

"reason?"

Wan Linlang: "Thanks to the tenderhearted maid Xing'er, who let Zi Su come to find me, I was able to save Sister Lian at the critical moment."

"Princess, please consider Xing'er's actions and give her a lighter punishment."

The princess nodded slightly: "Okay, but no matter what, you two can no longer serve Concubine Jiang."

"Dong'er will be given twenty strokes of the cane and sent to the farm to do odd jobs. She is not allowed to return to the palace. Xing'er will be given ten strokes of the cane and sent to the laundry to do laundry."

Dong'er shouted, "Princess, please spare me! Princess, please spare me! I know I was wrong. I don't want to go to the manor..."

She was sold to the Jiang family as a young lady to serve as a young lady and was spoiled all her life. How could she endure the hard life in the farm?

She was sent to the manor for this very reason, and she was probably going to be tortured to death!

Xing'er bowed silently: "Thank you very much, Princess, for your kindness."

It was not until this moment that Concubine Jiang realized that something was wrong!

All the maids and servants she brought from home were dealt with.

Now she was in this palace, isolated and helpless, surrounded by enemies on all sides. Wasn't she at the mercy of others?!

Concubine Jiang wanted to argue, but the princess was too lazy to listen to her.

He raised his hand and had Concubine Jiang pulled away.

Until this moment, there was no fear or regret in her eyes.

I'm afraid she's still waiting for King Jing to come back and give her justice?
