Chapter 658: Chapter 669: Teaching the Concubine a Lesson

And the other, hesitating whether he should step forward to ask?

With such a status as the elderly Madam, naturally, no one dared to stop her from going out, not even the esteemed Lin official. But it was the Madam of the Lin Family who was in charge, and they knew very well what kind of temperament she had. If they did not ask, when the Madam started to blame, it would cost them a layer of skin.

After much deliberation, the gatekeeper decided he must muster the courage to ask, if only to stall for time.

The young masters and ladies were getting into the carriage when the gatehouse servant hurried over and addressed the elderly lady, "Old Madam, are you taking the young masters and ladies out today?"

"Hmm, going out," the elderly Madam answered calmly.

The gatehouse servant twitched at the corner of his mouth and asked further, "Then the Old Madam is..."

"What about it?" The elderly Madam suddenly flared up, poking the gatehouse servant with her cane, "Do I need to notify you when I go out? Speak clearly, are you trying to block my way or not?"

"No, no, how would I dare?" The servant shuddered in fright, a thin sheen of sweat forming on his forehead, "I was just worried about what the Madam might ask..."

"Hmph, the Madam." The elderly Madam was just short of hitting him with her cane, furiously saying, "I’m not afraid of her even if she comes; I don’t believe she could send me back. Move aside!"

Everyone boarded the carriage, and the elderly Madam urged the servant to clear the way, adding, "We are merely going to Sanqing Temple to offer incense, hurry and finish the task."

After saying that, she urged the coachman to hurry along.

The gatehouse servant sweated profusely, naturally not daring to block the Old Madam’s carriage, thinking his companion was slow in fetching the Madam.

Meanwhile, Madam Lin, who was infuriated by Lin Xingyi’s favored concubine, Qiu Ling, stumbling over her feet, was at the height of her anger, scolding her. The servant who came to report did not dare to approach, blocked by Madam Lin’s maidservants.

"Shameless wretch, who allowed you to go into the master’s study?" Madam Lin slapped the armrest of the chair.

That morning, someone had reported seeing the Concubine Qiu sneaking out of Lin Xingyi’s study, news that made Madam Lin quite irate.

Lin Xingyi often resided in his study, and now he was only in his thirties to forties. If a woman from the inner court bore him a son at this time, what would happen?

In her view, one young master, Lin Shenxing, was enough for the Lin Family. Lin Shenxing had no birth mother and was raised entirely by her hand, essentially being her own son. The Lin Family handed down to him would mean she wouldn’t be at a loss.

But if a young master with a birth mother emerged, her status would be somewhat threatened, and this was something she absolutely could not allow to happen.

"Wench, did you take my words as a passing breeze or what? You concubines can weave your seductive schemes in the inner court all you want, I might not care, but dare you bring those schemes to the master’s study, do you want me to sell you off?"

Madam Lin always had a method for managing the inner house, normally keeping the concubines submissive, but now a disobedient one had popped up. If she tolerated this one, there was no saying a second wouldn’t appear. And where there’s a second, a third will follow, she absolutely could not tolerate it.

The Concubine Qiu was pinned to the ground by two strong maidservants, crying bitterly with her exquisite makeup smeared, making a mess of her face.

"Qiu Ling dares not disobey the Madam, but yesterday afternoon, the Old Madam asked me to accompany her in conversation. Seeing that it was getting late, the Old Madam then asked me to take a bowl of soup to the master’s study. After the master drank the soup... he... he kept me there," she said.
