Behind Xuexiang Courtyard is a one-courtyard Anxiang Courtyard, not for stealing fragrance.
Behind this courtyard are eight suites side by side, which are large rooms that can be divided into several smaller rooms.
Living in Kyoto is not easy, and having a place in the capital or even the Imperial Palace is even more difficult.
So don't think that a single room is inferior to a five-courtyard house in Changhe County, or that a nine-courtyard house in Changhe County is also inferior—that would be exceeding the prescribed limits.
Chang Ziyu lived on the far west side.
Caiwei was the only one serving her, so the living space was quite spacious; a larger place would feel too empty.
Although Chang Ziyu's current situation is not good, the room has been tidied up and most of the necessary items have been provided.
They even gave me such a big room; Di Baose isn't stingy.
Di Baose stood in the middle of the courtyard, watching Luo Yaohui move.
Two maids were supporting Luo Yaohui as she looked at Di Baose with deep, unfathomable eyes.
Di Baose waved his hand and said, "Strike!"
She just never learns her lesson. Even living in Wenqi Courtyard, she still wants to cause trouble. I can't stand it anymore.
So Wenqi Courtyard was cleared out, and this guy was held down and given twenty lashes.
Luo Yaohui was trembling with rage and went berserk!
Di Baose sneered: "You need a bunch of maids to serve you, to act like a mistress? You think you can serve others like this? Do you think a concubine serves the principal wife and then sleeps with her? Tell me, how shameless are you? You're even more shameless than a prostitute!"
The maid, who had initially dared not speak, was so angered that she had no choice but to step forward and say, "Stop talking. Our mistress is originally from the Crown Prince's Palace."
Di Baose waved his hand: "Drag him away and give him one hundred strokes of the cane."
Luo Yaohui screamed: "You dare!"
Di Baose snorted. The maids and wives of the Luo family are capable and loyal enough; keeping them around would only cause trouble.
Another loyal daughter-in-law knelt before Consort Di, crying and begging, "Give me my life in exchange for one chance with my master."
Di Baose sneered: "Another master-servant tale of deep affection? Everyone in the Luo family, from masters to servants, is so dramatic."
The daughter-in-law kowtowed repeatedly.
Di Baose said coldly, "One life isn't enough. How much is your worthless life worth?"
Luo Yaohui lunged forward, ready to fight Di Baose!
Cai and Lixia held her back tightly, tears streaming down their faces.
Di Baose sneered, "Miss Luo, you're so wronged, being sent to the palace as a concubine. I'm afraid even the Qing'e Palace isn't good enough for you. If you think the Anxiang Courtyard is too shabby, I'll find you a pigsty! What kind of status do you have that makes you so noble? You're nothing but a lowly woman! You're only horny when you don't have a man!"
The eunuch dragged Luo Yaohui away, ready to beat her.
That daughter-in-law risked her life to protect her master.
Lady Cai knelt before Lady Di.
Di Baose snorted, "Do I have to teach you how to die? Do I have to make someone else be the villain?"
Cai pursed her lips. She didn't want to die.
She is very capable; she can devise plans for Luo Yaohui and also help Qing'e Palace.
The Qing'e Palace has gotten into countless troubles; it's good that someone is helping her deal with them.
But Cai is hesitant to speak up now.
Because Qing'e Palace lacked mature and prudent officials, those disloyal members of the Pei family were dealt with, and those who remained were left unattended.
Guo Liangdi is clever; Qing'e Palace is the most dangerous. Really dangerous.
If the wife doesn't want to die, then the only option is to beat Luo Yaohui.
Driven to desperation, the wife grabbed a knife and frantically tried to kill Di Baose.
The eunuch beat her to death with a stick. He beat Luo Yaohui even harder.
"Awooo!" Luo Yaohui screamed and shot into the sky.
A groan! The sound faded into silence, for no more could be uttered.
Oh no... I'm half dead.
If they really hit him, how could he withstand twenty strokes of the cane? That might be worse than a hundred strokes of the rod.
Lixia and Cai were extremely anxious, as they were the only few people left by their master's side.
Di Baose sneered. It was precisely these things that emboldened Luo Yao; otherwise, how could she have stirred up trouble all by herself?
A group of people entered the palace, but their hearts weren't in it. They were busy making their own little schemes, the sound of which was louder than the sound of being beaten with a cane.
If everyone in the palace and the world only thinks of themselves, how can things not fall into chaos?
He should at least think about others; he's just too clever and too selfish.
That's just how old Luo is; Luo Yaohui has learned it very well.
After Luo Yaohui finished fighting, the courtyard became quiet.
Cai didn't dare to look.
These twenty strokes were too severe, equivalent to eighty strokes.
Protected by the crowd, Di Baose glanced at them and warned the others: "Don't be reckless. Or if you think living here is close to the back door, I'm telling you, we'll drag you out and bury you, that's close enough."
Caiwei came out of the house, trembling with fear.
She was a typical person who thrived in the palace, extremely cautious, yet also daring to take risks.
Di Baose admonished her: "If you want to serve Chang Fengyi, then serve her. If you are truly loyal, we won't do anything to you later. But if you listen to Chang Fengyi and have any improper thoughts, and are willing to die for her, then we will naturally grant your wish."
Caiwei hurriedly knelt down, trembling as she said, "This servant dares not."
Di Baose didn't care: "People in the palace are all scheming. It's not wrong to want a better life, but there should be some bottom line."
Di Baose then instructed his men: "Do not make things difficult for Caiwei if Chang Fengyi wants anything."
Everyone understands that what they want is what they can have.
It wasn't that they were deliberately bullying Caiwei; it wasn't a big deal.
Besides, she herself is not an innocent flower.
Di Baose was still generous to Luo Yaohui: "You can use both rooms on the east side."
Cai nodded with her head down.
Di Baose sneered: "If you don't like this place, the Luo family's place is much better."
Will Luo Yaohui have a good life if she returns to the Luo family now?
If someone dares to make curses, whose family won't be in trouble when they get married?
Di Baose left and went to look ahead.
There is also a Zhang Shu in the Green Jade Courtyard.
Zhang Shu was a little scared when she saw Di Baose and his large group of people.
Ren Zhaoxun chuckled to herself. Consort Di was used to this kind of behavior in the Eastern Palace. Empress Huan alone was enough; Consort Di was leading a whole entourage.
Zhang Shu wasn't really that confident; she wanted to play the innocent victim.
It doesn't matter how she pretends, as long as she doesn't cause any trouble.
Di Baose pulled Zhang Shu aside and lectured her: "You have no father or mother, and your aunt is dead. You should be grateful that the palace took you in and even gave you a bowl of rice. But I don't care. If you want to live, be smart. If you miss, do as you please."
Zhang Shu also has a cousin.
Di Baose sneered.
Zeng Huan was trying to cause trouble, but after being put in a sack and beaten half to death, he became much more cunning.
Did you really think he wasn't afraid of death?
There are still more people in the world who are afraid of death, and some who seem fearless have something to rely on.
Once you realize someone can't be trusted, you learn your lesson.
Di Baose pointed at Zhang Shu and lectured her: "How can your cousin be someone you can rely on? Do you know how difficult it is for women outside? If you don't cherish what you have, then let your cousin be someone you can rely on."
Zhang Shu's face turned pale.
Being a woman is really tough.
Di Baose was much more amiable towards Ren Zhaoxun: "Keep an eye on her."
Ren Zhaoxun nodded.
Gong Zhaoxun and Ju Zhaoxun moved to the front main house, while Ren Zhaoxun lived alone in the back.
Even if the side rooms are vacated, the space is still quite spacious.
In Sheng'an, many people are crammed into a small house.
Di Baose went to take another look at the Wenqi Courtyard in front. Now that it's been cleared out, the air feels fresher.
As for whether things will be good or bad in the future, as long as she manages things well, she can beat people and throw them to the back if she doesn't.
I wonder how many people could fit in the Dark Fragrance Courtyard Fortress; ten could be crammed into a single room.
I'm just afraid of being ruined by Chang Ziyu or Luo Yaohui, or that they'll go too far together.
