It's because she knew that there was a rule like that so when she made a move to kill off the malicious servant, she didn't show mercy at all. This servant's life was hers. If she wanted to kill him then she could!
Pei Xiang's voice rang and the maid who was yelling out loud didn't dare to make another noise. They moved back a step, out of fright, saying in a small voice: "Lady, you see that the third young miss is holding a whip. Would that be the weapon?"
Concubine Xue had already noticed the whip in Huang Bei Yue's hand. That whip carried blood on it and made a long trace of blood stains on the ground. It was hard for someone to ignore this!
Based on this, this servant was killed by Huang Bei Yue?
Concubine Xue's face immediately turned pale and not good-looking. In her heart, there was a sense of chilliness rising too, heading straight for the bones.
Huang Bei Yue looked at her and coldly smiled. Then slowly, step by step, she walked towards Concubine Xue.
Concubine Xue was terrified of the aura of the bloodstains on her that she kept moving back. However, her actions were not as quick as Huang Bei Yue's. After a couple of steps, Huang Bei Yue was in front of her.
"Third, third young miss. What is the matter?" Concubine Xue inquired, stuttering. Her heart felt as though it was playing drums.
However, Concubine Xue who had a deep mind naturally couldn't reveal a scared expression on her face like how Concubine Qin had done so. Although her expression was quite ugly, she still forced a smile on her face.
"Today's competition was quite tiring. Probably, I would need to ask Concubine Xue for some help." Huang Bei Yue opened her mouth lazily and the whip in her hand was suddenly raised.
"What do you want to do!" Concubine Xue shouted out loud. On her face, she finally showed a look of horror!
There was no way she couldn't be afraid ah! Such a bloody corpse hanging on the fake mountains and the people by the side who held looks of respect led her to be afraid!
How could she possibly not be scared?
She stared at Huang Bei Yue with a pale face and Concubine Xue's heart rose and fell quickly. She needed to rely on the maid by her side in order to keep her body steady.
Huang Bei Yue moved her head to the side, smiling as though it was a joke: "Lady Xue, what are you afraid of?"
She specially clenched the word 'lady' harder when exclaiming the sentence. From Concubine Xue's ears, it felt as though a mockery and tease.
"The third young miss is saying jokes. How can you address me as the 'lady' ah? It's those small wenches who are not thoughtful, letting people ridicule them. This is unjustified and undeserving. The third young miss should just call me concubine." Concubine Xue wasn't like Concubine Qin who didn't have a brain. She knew what to do best according to the situation.
Concubine Xue's voice was trembling as she replied. Huang Bei Yue knew that she had scared her enough so she casually waved the whip in her hand. Then she shoved the whip into Concubine Xue's hand, pressing it on her valuable silk clothes.
The fresh blood immediately dyed upon Concubine Xue's clothes. The bright red color contrasted against Concubine Xue's skin, making her look snow white.
Concubine Xue gulped a mouthful of saliva, forcing herself to speak: "What is the third young miss doing?"
"Before I had said it already. I want to ask Concubine Xue for help." Huang Bei Yue faintly retorted. "Hold it."
Concubine Xue deeply sighed. She harshly bit her lips, trembling while raising her hand over and touching the blood-stained whip then immediately pulling her hand away.
"Third young miss, I, I can't see blood."
"Hold it!" Huang Bei Yue yelled and the whole face was stern and strict!
Concubine Xue could only slowly lift her hand and the two hands held the whip. From the expression on her face, she was almost going to cry.
Although she wasn't the wealthy daughter of an official who lived like a princess, she was still in normal people's family. After she followed Princess Zhang, Princess Zhang deliberately instructed her with the etiquettes of unmarried daughter of a noble house.
