Chapter 278 Changchun Garden Training
Ever since the news of Qi Yuebin's pregnancy spread, many people have followed suit.
Some of them secretly sent gifts to Qi Yuebin, while others observed her in secret, looking for Qi Yuebin's flaws, ready to attack her at any time.
Among them, Xueqing is the busiest.
Changchun Garden, in Rouze's house.
"Please forgive me, Concubine Shu, I didn't mean to do that. I really didn't expect that bitch would get pregnant in just one night. It's really hateful."
Xueqing knelt upright in front of Rouze and explained herself.
Although Xueqing had done her best to guard against and even bewitched Li Jingui, she was just a princess of the same age as Li Jingui. After paying her respects to Yixiu during the day, she had to come to Rouze to serve her from time to time. In the middle of the night, she thought about how to bewitched Li Jingui, which kept her in a state of high tension.
On the contrary, if Li Jingui had not been on guard, if she had been persuaded to leave Changchun Garden at the first time, or if she had been given contraceptive medicine first regardless of whether she was diagnosed with pregnancy or not, it would have been fine.
Rouze stopped listening to her explanation and said, "The rule this time is not to hit him on the face, so as not to displease Lord Beile. Hit him in other places until he is well-trained."
As she spoke, Rouze took out a shiny black ruler, which was used to punish servants in the mansion who made mistakes. Now, using it on Xueqing was not only a punishment, but also a humiliation.
Xue Qing pursed her lips and raised her hands obediently.
When she was young, she was often punished by her mother in the garden when she was outside.
In a place like that, the ways of beating people are far more numerous than in the palace. There are times when the women have to take off their clothes and lie prone to be beaten with a stick, with other sisters watching.
But since her singing voice became more and more famous, no one dared to teach her a lesson easily. Even if she didn't want to receive customers, they had to let her do it. After all, the tips she got for just singing two songs were more than what some girls got in several nights.
Rouze mercilessly spanked her three times with the ruler: "I have told you many times that you should not be indecisive when doing things. Do you understand now?"
Xue Qing naturally knew that indecision was the worst thing to do in such matters, but if she acted immediately, it would be fine if she succeeded. However, if she showed any flaws, she didn't think Rouze would protect her - after all, who would care about the life or death of a boat girl?
Xueqing calmed herself down, held her hands flat, lowered her head slightly and said nothing more.
Both hands are exposed, so if you are gentle, you won't get hit there. There is a little redness and swelling, but it's not obvious unless you look closely.
Rouze tapped her palm and said, "Don't fight too much here. We still have to take care of the appearance of things, and the same goes for getting along with others."
To be fair, Xue Qing had to admit that Rouze was indeed quite scheming. If she were not weak now, someone of her background would not be worthy of having direct contact with her.
Xueqing calmed herself down, took a few deep breaths, endured the pain, and when Rouze tapped the ground, she lay down obediently.
She put her hands on her forehead and raised her back high. She felt as if Rouze was deliberately humiliating her. The ruler slid from her back to her thighs, and then slid up from the bottom to the top.
I was on edge, not knowing when the first blow would come.
With a "snap" sound, Rouze's ruler swung up, and severe pain exploded from behind. Xueqing's heart tightened, but before she could recover from the sudden pain, the second and third bites followed.
"Woo..."
Xue Qing gritted her teeth. Even though her hands were gentle and not very strong, the weight of the ruler was enough to make her sweat quickly. Her body under her clothes must have been flushed red.
"Okay, get up."
It is better to be gentle when you see that things are going well. You can't really break the person and then you won't be able to serve Yinzhen in the future.
Xueqing lay on the ground, took two breaths, and slowly climbed up from the ground.
She hadn't suffered such pain for a long time. Now, she actually developed an inexplicable sense of security. Not only did she not have any resentment towards Rouze, but she also felt a little more genuine reliance on him, just like when she was taught a lesson by her mother when she was young.
"Concubine..."
Xue Qing took two steps closer to Rouze and knelt down again, naturally next to her legs: "I will never make such a mistake again."
After thinking for a while, Xue Qing finally said, "Li Jingui is just a maid, without any roots or foundation. Even if she is pregnant, it is nothing to worry about as long as we are careful. But as for Qi Gege..."
Recently, Xueqing has seen Rouze and Qi Yuebin more often and found that their relationship is completely maintained by money and interests and there is no real feeling between them.
Now that Qi Yuebin is pregnant, doesn't that mean she has to go past Rouze...
Rouze waved her hand and said unconcernedly: "Don't worry about this matter, I will naturally solve it. You just need to keep a close eye on Li Jingui and make sure she doesn't give birth to the baby safely."
------------------------
Seeing Rouze say this, Xueqing said no more and left while enduring the pain.
After Xueqing left, Rouze went to visit Qi Yuebin in person.
Surprisingly, Qi Yuebin, who was supposed to be carefully protecting her pregnancy in her room, was now chewing ice and reading a book in the room.
"Fujin Rou is here." In private, Qi Yuebin would sometimes conceal Rouze's "concubine" and change her name to "Fujin Rou" to please her, as if by simply removing one word, the identity could be changed as well.
Qi Yuebin asked: "Would you like to see Hongchang? He should be playing with his nanny right now."
Waving her hand, Rouze indicated that Qi Yuebin didn't need to ask, "How are you feeling these days?"
"Hmm..." Qi Yuebin nodded: "Don't worry, Madam Rou, I'm not feeling unwell."
Rouze said: "You must be careful. I have ordered Xinghui to find a trustworthy doctor to take care of you. He will come to your house to diagnose your pulse tomorrow. As long as you can get through the next few months, everything will be fine."
Qi Yuebin placed her hands on her lower abdomen and nodded obediently.
At this time, her interests are consistent with Rouze, so she will naturally act according to the plan.
----------------------
Sure enough, on the next day, Xinghui brought a royal physician to the house.
Xinghui was not in a position to send the imperial physician over personally, so he had him enter the mansion first, saying only that he was there to take care of Qi Gege's fetus.
After a while, Xinghui came to find Rouze.
The brother and sister haven't seen each other for a long time since Fei Yanggu's funeral.
When she saw Xinghui again, Rouze didn't know why, but she felt that they were not as close as before.
But now that their father has passed away, isn't it time for the two siblings to unite?
"Little brother, how is mother now?" Rouze used the easiest topic to greet Xinghui, trying to bring the two closer through mother.
"Mother is feeling much better now. Thank you for your concern." Xinghui replied calmly, "Now everything has gone as you expected. I think you should be satisfied. You should be more content in the future. I am still in mourning and have just taken charge of the Ulanara family. I still have a lot of things to do."
