Hong Tao didn't dare say anything else, and hurriedly supported her, calling for all her weight to be pressed onto him.

  After a difficult journey back to her own home, Ye Zao's face had turned pale and she was unable to stand steadily.

  Not to mention that she didn't eat dinner last night, she accompanied the fourth master to have fun all night and was driven crazy by him several times, it's already good that she can walk back.

  This child, unexpectedly didn't want to cry, but in his heart, his impression of Fourth Master had also fallen to the bottom.

  "Master didn't reward..." Hong Tao said softly.

  "I want to take a hot bath, is there any ointment? I'm in severe pain." Ye Zao lay down and couldn't get up again.

  Red Peach shook her head, "No way..."

  "Take the silver and go find it, don't apply medicine, I'll die." Ye Zao gritted his teeth.

  When she entered the mansion, that cheap uncle gave a hundred taels of silver, which had not been spent yet. Now is not the time to be frugal with the silver.

  Hong Tao responded with a sound and went out to fetch a silver ingot.

  Perhaps seeing her suffering was too much, Song Baba came in: "Miss, are you in pain?"

  Ye Zao nodded: "My skin is a bit tender now. Does the old lady have any tricks?"

  Song Pozi sighed: "This is helpless, boil some water for the young lady to soak in, the young lady endure a little, we are the lowest servants..."

  No right to say being wronged.

  "I'm not pretending, it's really hard for me to get up today, sorry to trouble you, Song Dangiang." Normally, the three of them would do things together in this room.

  The maid servant has no one to serve is normal. She's quite good already.

  "In that case, we should support each other. You just lie down, I'll go boil some water! A big pot will do, and then you can soak in it." said Song Daignang.

  "Old lady, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry." Ye Zao rubbed his belly grievously: "I missed breakfast... and I didn't eat dinner last night either."

  Song Pozi pitied her, a lovely girl like a flower jade, was sent in by that black-hearted uncle of hers, what a pity.

  "Wait, I'll get someone to take it away for you." It wasn't that bad, at this point, not having the servants move was certain, but there were still one or two plates of snacks.

  After eating some snacks and soaking in the bath, I finally felt a bit more comfortable.

  Hong Tao took back a small bottle, which was exactly the ointment.

  After painting myself well, I couldn't hold on anymore.

  After she fell asleep, Hong Tao and Song Pozi sighed: "It's the first time to serve, but not even a reward was given. How can we stand firm in the future?"

  "Never mind, there's no advantage in giving or not giving." At least others won't have to be too cautious.

  "It's not what you said, how can we not make progress......" Hong Tao stomped her foot.

  "What's the point of you, a concubine, trying to climb up? A concubine is just a concubine. Even if she rises, can't she just become a secondary wife?" Song's mother-in-law snorted and busied herself with her own affairs.

  In the house, Ye Zao slept soundly, unaware of anything.

  She didn't complain or feel sorry for herself. She had long known that the days ahead would be tough. This was just the beginning, and the real difficulties were yet to come.

  Before lunch, Fuhuan sent someone to deliver a reward.

  In the main hall, Ulanna ate breakfast and rested for a while before asking: "How was Ye Shi's service yesterday?"

  "Returning to the master's words, it was Ye Shi who served him. He stayed overnight in the front yard, but Master didn't give any rewards." Xiuhe said while massaging her legs.

  "This isn't serving well? That's just the way Master is." Ulanara smiled: "According to etiquette, there should still be a reward, you decide how much to give."

  Xiuhua responded with a "yes" and after a while, had someone send over the reward.

  A pair of golden armlets. This is the rule for a concubine's first night in attendance, something must be given.

  Ye Zao hasn't gotten up yet, that little girl is lazy and impatient, but fortunately Ye Zao didn't get up to thank her.

  Ye Zao took the pair of bracelets and smiled: "Put them away." It's hard for Fu Jun to have found such a disgusting pair of bracelets, with mud stains on the floral patterns.

  She didn't take it seriously, thinking that Fu Jun would only bring it out to reward her when the time was almost up, and estimated that others wouldn't give it to her.

  As expected, by evening, there was no sign of Li Ce Fu Jun and the two gege's reward. Ye Zao wasn't surprised at all.

  In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. During these three days, Fourth Master didn't enter the backyard once, leaving early and returning late, as if he was very busy.

  When it was time to visit the main courtyard, Ye Zao had also recovered a lot and at least wasn't in pain anymore.

  Still wearing his old padded jacket, he went to Zhengyuan.

  When everyone arrived, after paying their respects, they heard Li Ce Fu say: "Ah, I didn't expect Ye Shi to be so pretty! The other day when serving Master Ye, she stayed overnight in the front courtyard? But Master Ye is also like that, why didn't he give her some reward? Anything would do, at least something!"

  That's disgusting to say.

  The tone of rewarding small cats and dogs.

  Ye Zao took a step forward and bowed: "I'm stupid and didn't serve Master well, it's justified that I don't get any reward."

  Seeing her respectful attitude, Li Ce Fu grunted: "Since you didn't serve well, let's punish you to kneel for an hour. Serving Master is your good fortune, and you didn't do it well. You deserve punishment."

  Ye Zao was afraid that someone would help her out, so she hastily agreed and went to kneel in the main courtyard.

  After kneeling down, Ye Zao let out a sigh of relief.

  Li Cefujin has been punished, so it's all right now. What I'm worried about is that he might be holding back his anger, which wouldn't be good.

  Wulana was unhappy, but it was also because Li went over her to punish Ye, and there were no other thoughts.

  One time is two hours. It seems that this is Li's first gift to her.

  Ye Zao knelt there, silently reciting poems in her heart. All the ancient poems she remembered were being recited in her mind.

  After the ceremony ended, Li Ce Fei walked in front of everyone.

  She saw Ye Zao kneeling upright and walked over to support her own hair: "Today's weather is not bad. Ye Shi, you mustn't bear a grudge against me in your heart."

  "Mrs. Li taught me discipline and I'm deeply grateful in my heart, I dare not harbor any resentment." Ye Zao hastily said.

  "That's good, you've knelt enough, let's go back." Li Ce Fu Jin hummed and supported her servant as they left.

  Ye Zao wrote down the second name in her little notebook with great solemnity: Li Ce Fu Jun.

  The first is Yuning in the front yard.

  Yes, she is a concubine, but... the future Fourth Master, isn't he going to be the Emperor?

  As long as he becomes emperor, she always has the hope of turning over, right? At that time, revenge should be avenged and resentment should be resented, isn't it normal?

  Maybe she won't live till then, but it doesn't matter for keeping accounts!

  Then, Ye Zao knelt down very calmly, without any panic or hurry.

  Until the time came, the people in Fuzheng called her back.

  Ye Zao stood up, neatly kowtowed to the main hall, then held Hong Tao's hand and left.

  Nowadays, no one is inferior to anyone else, everyone is superior. However, this situation will not last a lifetime, will it?

  The corners of Ye Zao's mouth curled up, and he went back with great joy.
