After Escaping from the Marriage, the Crown Prince Started Pampering Me

Chapter 12: That’s Right, I’m Scolding You

After sending off the magistrate and Li Da, Madam Bai could no longer hold back her desire to teach Ye Qingge a lesson.

She thought about how she had suffered from yesterday until today because of this little b*tch.

Madam Bai wished she could pull her over and beat her up.

However, she had just promised Li Da that she wouldn’t make things difficult for Ye Qingge. It wouldn’t be appropriate for her to make a move now.

Nanny Li, who had always been by Madam Bai’s side, was Madam Bai’s dowry. She roughly knew what Madam Bai was thinking.

Hence, she whispered a few words into Madam Bai’s ear.

Madam Bai’s eyes lit up, and her lips curled into a cold smile. “Alright, let her live for two more days.”

When Ye Qingge returned to her courtyard, a maidservant had already informed her birth mother, Concubine Liu.

There was a series of banging sounds in the room, the sound of teacups falling to the ground, and the maidservant’s exclamation. “Aunt, be careful…”

Then, a middle-aged woman in old clothes with a gentle temperament and tears in her eyes ran out.

Before Ye Qingge could react, she held her in her arms and tears streamed down her face like a broken pearl.

Ye Qingge froze for a moment, trying her best to suppress the urge to throw her over her shoulder.

After staying in the special forces for a long time, her body’s instinct became to bend her fingers, throw people over her shoulder, and kick people who pounced on her.

“Mom… Aunt?”

Ye Qingge quickly corrected herself and called out to Aunt Liu, who was still crying in her arms.

“Mother, look, I’m fine now. Don’t cry.”

Ye Qingge was a little at a loss. She wasn’t afraid of fighting, but she really couldn’t comfort a woman who was crying.

“How can you be fine? You got married and divorced. How can you have a good family in the future? Your life is over.”

The more Aunt Liu spoke, the sadder she became. She thought of her daughter’s future and felt sad.

“Isn’t it good now? Can I still be by Mother’s side? Don’t be afraid. Everything will be fine.”

The maidservant at the side also tried to comfort Concubine Liu, who was still crying, after much persuasion.

Concubine Liu was helped back to her room by the maidservant while Ye Qingge returned to her own courtyard.

Ye Qingge didn’t need a maidservant to serve her. She went back to her room and locked the door.

Following the original owner’s memory, Ye Qingge found a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in a corner.

She was writing and drawing on it. Not long after, the blueprint of a crossbow machine appeared on the paper.

However, if one took a closer look, one would see that the crossbow she drew was not the same type as the one she had repaired in General Zhanbei’s residence.

Her crossbow was actually an enhanced three-way crossbow.

It meant that it could fire an arrow in three different directions at the same time.

When the last stroke was settled, Ye Qingge nodded in satisfaction.

This kind of primitive equipment was not used much in modern warfare, so she did not make much.

It was still lacking in terms of appearance, but its combat strength was definitely not a problem.

She was a perfectionist, so she had to make the appearance more appealing.

After decorating it, Ye Qingge felt that it was about time. She lay on her back on the bed and opened the window to look at the moon.

It really matched that joke: When can you see the bright moon? Raise your head and look for yourself.

….

Early in the morning, Ye Qingge was still asleep when she was woken up by a hurried knock on the door.

When she opened the door, there were two maidservants standing in front of the door. One was from the original owner’s courtyard, and the other was from Madam Bai’s courtyard.

“What’s the matter?”

Ye Qingge leaned against the door and yawned. It was obvious that she had no intention of letting them in.

She had not kept the blueprint she had drawn yesterday, so it was not convenient for them to go in.

“Sixth Miss, the people from General Zhanbei’s Estate are here. Madam invites you to the front hall.”

The maidservant in the Bai courtyard raised her head and looked at Ye Qingge, completely disregarding this young lady who had married and divorced.

“Oh, got it.”

Ye Qingge nodded and glanced at the maids in Madam Bai’s courtyard, indicating that she understood.

Just as he was about to turn around and return to his room to pack up, someone gave the order first.

“Gui Hua, come with me and help Sixth Miss clean up quickly. Don’t make Madam wait.”

“Yes.”

Gui Hua complied and walked towards Ye Qingge’s room, not caring if Ye Qingge agreed or not.

Huh? It seemed that people could not get along with each other just by being polite.

Ye Qingge suddenly turned around. Gui Hua almost bumped into her and she hurriedly stopped.

Gui Hua glanced at Ye Qingge and couldn’t help but complain, “Young Miss, why did you stop so suddenly? We almost bumped into each other.”

Ye Qingge had always been timid and timid, so the maidservants in the courtyard were not afraid of her.

This Gui Hua relied on the fact that she was a head of maidservants and often didn’t even listen to Ye Qingge’s words. She didn’t take her seriously at all.

“Why? Do I have to listen to Sister Gui Hua in my courtyard?”

Ye Qingge crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked at Gui Hua with a faint smile.

Gui Hua was stunned. She did not expect her to say such a thing.

For some reason, such a Sixth Miss actually made people feel a little afraid and did not dare to look down on her like before.

This ‘Sister Guihua’ made her heart tremble.

“Miss, don’t joke around. Madam is still waiting.”

Guihua quickly retreated to the side and lowered her head without saying anything.

Ye Qingge glanced at Gui Hua before turning to the maidservant in Bai’s courtyard. “Your name is Ling Long?”

“Yes.”

Yes, not bad. She was neither servile nor overbearing.

“You know about me getting married and divorcing, but I have a problem with divorcing. I don’t like to be served by others, so you can wait at the door.”

Ye Qingge’s smile remained unchanged, but there was a hint of irrefutableness in it.

“I’m afraid that won’t do. Madam and the people from General Zhanbei’s estate are waiting. Let us help Miss pack up quickly. Don’t let them wait.”

After saying that, Ling Long also wanted to enter.

She was the one who came to pass the message because Madam had received the news.

This Sixth Miss locked the door the moment she returned to the courtyard. No one knew what she was doing inside this night. There must be something strange.

Also, Madam had ordered her to find out how Sixth Miss knew the people in General Zhanbei.

“Ling Long, do you not understand human language?”

Ye Qingge smiled sweetly, her smile indescribably sweet.

It was so sweet that it was as if she hadn’t said those vulgar words just now.

“What?”

Ling Long thought she had misheard, but she also thought she had not misheard.

Did Sixth Miss scold her just now?

“Looks like you really don’t understand human language.”

Ye Qingge nodded. Her appearance was delicate and her words were soft and meek.

“You, you scolded me!”

Ling Long had a look of disbelief on her face. After being Madam’s maidservant for so many years, who wouldn’t respect her?

This was the first time he had been scolded like this.

Moreover, she was scolded by the most cowardly Sixth Miss in the residence.

Ye Qingge tilted her head and didn’t say anything. She just looked at Ling Long quietly.

“Wait for me. I’ll tell Madam.”

Ling Long was so angry that she felt dizzy. After saying those words, she turned around and walked back.

Gui Hua was also stunned. She felt that Ye Qingge must have gone crazy to directly scold Ling Long.

Afraid that Ling Long would say something unpleasant to Madam and implicate her, she took a step out of the door.

“Miss, let me persuade her. After all, she’s from Madam’s courtyard.”

Her tone was filled with concern for Ye Qingge.

Ye Qingge nodded, indicating that she understood.

She glanced at the two maidservants who had left. How could their IQ be good enough to be bad people?

Did they forget the purpose of coming here just because of a provocation?
