Chapter 443: Bad To The Bone
Chu Qingchuan just stood upright, when a woman in a red dress stepped out of the building. Her dress was embroidered with beautiful white lilies and her hair was combed into a tall bun. It was obvious from her face that she was a little aged, around twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old. However, because of her heavy makeup, she still looked considerably pretty. She had a pair of big bright eyes, small red lips, and a round face.
“I, your servant, pay my respects to you, Madam.” All the ladies promptly curtsied at the gorgeous and classy woman.
The madam of the castle walked right up to Chu Qingchuan and spoke with an arrogant tone of voice. “You must be Concubine Ninety-Nine. Raise your head and let me take a good look at you”
Chu Qingchuan pulled a pleasant smile and lifted her head.
The madam looked evidently shocked. She never imagined that Concubine Ninety-Nine would look so seductive and charming.
Slap! Slap! The madam violently slapped Chu Qingchuan twice across the face and coldly exclaimed, “Kneel before me!”
Chu Qingchuan was completely stunned. Why had the madam of the castle slapoed her?
The madam saw that Chu Qingchuan didn’t budge, and mercilessly raised her foot and kicked Chu Qingchuan in the knees.
Chu Qingchuan felt the intense pain in her knees and clenched her jaw. Her knees fell to the ground beyond her control.
“Remember your place. If you dare command the master’s affections, I’ll make sure you pay,” cried the madam coldly.
Chu Qingchuan felt nothing but fear for the madam of the castle. After she heard what the madam said, she covered her swollen cheeks with both hands and immediately replied, “I wouldn’t dare. I will absolutely not command the master’s affections.”
She really wanted to command people to slap this madam’s face clean off, slice her legs, and pull out her tongue. Chu Qingchuan cursed the madam repeatedly in her mind, as her hands slowly clenched up.
Madam grunted coldly, then turned around to face all the ladies.
“Remember, you are all merely concubines. You can all forget about surpassing me. If I ever catch you doing anything out of character, don’t expect me to easily spare you!”
“I solemnly obey Madam’s words!” Promptly and respectfully replied all the ladies.
The madam scanned all the ladies, then walked right up to one who looked slightly sloppy.
“Men, drag this lady and her maid out for twenty lashings.”
“Madam, what have I done wrong?” Immediately asked the lady dressed in yellow fearfully.
With a cold tone of voice, Madam cried, “Your collar’s crooked.”
That lady looked down at her collar and noticed that it was a little crooked. But to punish her over something so little… She felt hard done by and angrily cried, “Madam, my collar is just crooked. You can’t punish me like this for it. That doesn’t make sense.”
The madam’s seductive ice-cold eyes were filled with disgust. She looked at that lady like she was looking at a moron, then mercilessly commanded, “Take Concubine Ninety-Five out to be executed.”
Chu Qingchuan heard the word “execute” and turned pale from fear. She raised her head slightly just to look at that lady and fell instantly stunned. Wasn’t that the lady who bumped into her earlier?
Just then, color returned to her face, Good that she’s going to get executed! Earlier, she wanted to push that lady downtown the stairs. Who told her to dare barge into her?
“No! Spare me, Madam! I was wrong. I’ll never dare talk back to madam again,” cried that lady, as she immediately fell to her knees and kowtowed.
Soon enough, two servants seized that lady away. That lady was so afraid that her soul practically left her body! All she knew was to scream and wail. “Madam, spare my life! Madam!”
