Chapter 284

The Master of the Prefecture [16]

“Slut! What kind of attitude is that?” Xiao Rou slammed the table and stood up. This Pei Xiang used to be a very capable maid that followed by her mother’s side. How could she…

“Fourth Miss, I won’t hide it from you. Right now, I am Third Miss’s servant. Even if you want to hit a dog, you have to look at the owner. You should try to stay sensible,” She smiled triumphantly.

Concubine Qin’s sinister gaze swept over and she said angrily: “You, a lowly servant dared to betrayed me and joined Huang Bei Yue’s side. That’s great! You really have grown up! All these years, I’ve raised an ingrate!”

“Concubine, what betrayal? In Princess Zhang’s residence, there is only a proper master, Princess Bei Yue. As servants, we are completely loyal to our master, so how is it betrayal?

“She’s the real master? Why didn’t you treat her as the real master before? Haven’t you done enough bad things to her before? Aren’t you afraid that she will seek revenge after she finished using you,” Concubine Qin said as she smiled sinisterly.

Pei Xiang felt goosebumps all over her body but she still said firmly, “Concubine, don’t worry. Third Miss’s character is different from yours!”

“Yes, yes…”

Pei Xiang thought for a moment and said, “Concubine, based on the many years of the relationship between us as master and servant, I advise you to give the Third Miss the Qinghe region’s account. You should also report the amount you have secretly taken. Otherwise, you will regret it in the future!”

Concubine Qin’s face was pale. Her vision was filled with darkness and her body swayed a few times. She almost fell face first onto the ground. Luckily, Xiao Zhong Qi had reacted quickly and was able to support her.

“Mother, there’s nothing to say to this slut who turned on her master. Let’s see if she can still act so arrogantly after I kill her!” In a fit of anger, Xiao Rou pulled out the sword hanging on the wall.

“Rou’er,” Concubine Qin said as raised her hand to stop her. She looked hesitant, and after some thought, she said, “Let her go.”

Just like what Pei Xiang had said, she was now Huang Bei Yue’s person. Even if they were to beat a dog, they would have to look at their master first. They couldn’t afford to offend a deity like Huang Bei Yue right now.

“Concubine Qin is sensible.” Pei Xiang smiled and said, “The matters regarding first young master, concubine will have to rely on Princess Bei Yue. So you shouldn’t keep the tax affairs of Qinghe region a secret. Otherwise…”

Concubine Qin bit her lower lip. Xiao Zhong Qi said, “She doesn’t need to care about my matters!”

Pei Xiang was very afraid of this fierce young master, so she didn’t dare say much. She only needed to look at Concubine to know that she had already frightened her.

Having achieved her goal, Pei Xiang didn’t linger any longer. With a smile, she left.

Once she left, Concubine Qin’s legs became soft. She sat down on a chair, looking frightened.

“Mom, don’t worry too much. I’ll go check on Third Sister and see what she means,” Xiao Rou said.

“Yes, Rou’er, go and find out what she wants to do to us.” Concubine Qin seemed to grasp at hope and suddenly she seems to have strength again.

Xiao Rou nodded her head before leaving. Concubine Qin held onto Xiao Zhong Qi’s hand and muttered: “That Huang Bei Yue, why did she suddenly…”

“Mom, if she really dares to do anything to us, we’ll just fight her to death. She can forget about living well,” Xiao Zhong Qi said fiercely.

Concubine Qin’s eyes immediately began to be filled with tears. She cried: “I just can’t accept it! After all these years of painstaking effort, will it all come to waste?”

Xiao Zhong Qi frowned and asked: “Mother, about the accounts in Qing He region, did you really…”
