Madam Liu and her group left the main courtyard and hurried through the corridor towards Madam Liu's Xiuli Garden. When they reached the door, someone tried to stop them, but a maid pushed them away. Madam Liu was the first to rush into the main room, and the little maid at the door was pushed away by the maid behind her.
"How dare you! How dare you break in without permission?" Aunt Liu came out when she heard the noise and scolded everyone loudly.
Madam Liu stepped forward and restrained Concubine Liu. Another maid took out her rope and quickly tied her up. Concubine Liu kept cursing, "You old bastard! Wait until the master peels off your skin before you let me go! Someone come!"
Several maids who came over did not dare to step forward. At this time, a maid who was better dressed rushed out from the inner room. Seeing Concubine Liu tied up with ropes, she screamed and tried to rush over, but was kicked to the ground by the old woman.
The maidservant shouted, "Who are you? How dare you come to Xiuli Garden and act so rudely!" The third old woman stepped forward and slapped the maidservant several times. The maidservant became dizzy and begged for mercy.
After being tied up, Aunt Liu was thrown to the ground, crying out in frustration, but her mouth was silenced by a slap from Mother Liu.
Mother Liu sat aside and said, "Liu Yuan'er, Aunt Liu, since you have entered the Sheng family, you must abide by the rules of the Sheng family. You are of humble origin and should not be allowed to enter the Sheng family as a concubine. If it were not for the kindness of the lady, you would have been killed by a cup of poisoned wine long ago."
Aunt Liu wanted to say something, but she looked at the burly maids beside her, her eyes widened, her head lowered, and she dared not speak.
Madam Liu continued, "As a concubine, you must serve the mistress. You cannot cling to the master day and night, or behave like a whore. Today, I will teach you the rules of being a concubine, so that you can live a peaceful life in the Sheng family."
Madam Liu took out the indenture, and the first maid took the ink, lifted Concubine Liu's right hand and pressed it into the ink, then dragged her to press it down on the indenture in Madam Liu's hand. Concubine Liu struggled and shouted, "Call Li, the master won't let me sign the indenture, how can I go against my husband's words?"
Madam Liu stepped forward and slapped her several times, crackling down. Her cheeks flushed red, and most of her white teeth came loose. Then the old woman grabbed Madam Liu's hand and pressed it hard on the indenture. Madam Liu's eyes were bloodshot and she glared at Madam Liu fiercely.
Seeing Concubine Liu's utter discomfiture, Madam Liu finally felt a sense of relief from the wrath she had endured for Madam Liu for days. Madam Liu then produced the petition written by Concubine Liu's personal maid, Huang Hua, and showed it to Concubine Liu. Concubine Liu, looking at the petition, which had been stamped with her handprint, collapsed to the ground.
Mother Liu looked on with satisfaction and said loudly, "A concubine's crime of plotting to murder the legitimate son is punishable by death. Considering that her plot failed, we will punish her according to the family rules. Come, enforce the family law!"
The fourth and fifth maids came forward, one dragging Concubine Liu away, while the other went out with the board in her hand and followed them. But after a while, the sound of the board and the sound of the sound came from outside, mixed with Concubine Liu's cries of pain.
Madam Liu looked at the maids kneeling on the ground and said sternly, "You fools have forgotten who is the master of the Sheng family. You dared to help the concubines plot against the mistress, and you are all making trouble."
Madam Liu's personal maid kept saying, "Please let us go, mother. We didn't do this willingly." The others knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Mother Liu looked around at these people, not one of them was innocent, and said, "Those who survived the beating will be sold, and those who didn't will be killed."
Min'er, the personal maid of Concubine Liu, screamed, "You can't punish me. My mother is the purchasing manager of the outer courtyard, and the master has also favored me."
Mother Liu ignored her completely and waved her hand. Two maids came forward to subdue her and tied her up.
