Ye Zao was summoned to serve in the bedchamber again, it was the next day.

  Xiao Gui came when she was braiding her hair and writing.

  "Then let's go." Ye Zao's shoes fit well, and his clothes also fit well.

  "Miss, don't you comb your hair first?" Little Guizi was surprised.

  "I won't... it's just like this." Ye Zao said with an awkward expression.

  Xiao Guizi thought to herself, "What business is it of mine? If you've fallen out of favor, that's your own problem."

  So, he didn't say anything more and went straight to the front yard.

  Ye Zao thought to himself, "I haven't had dinner again today."

  However, Fourth Master wasn't so cruel, and today he didn't eat either.

  Ye Zao arrived, and Fourth Master was sitting at the table. Seeing her come in, he glanced at her: "Come over and serve me."

  Ye Zao didn't need to kneel anymore, Fu Shen walked over after bowing: "This servant doesn't know Master's preferences."

  As he drew closer, Fourth Master only then noticed her hair: "Did you sleep?"

  "As for Master's words, I don't...I...I won't comb my hair, lest it makes Master uncomfortable." Ye Zao hastily knelt down.

  "You can't even comb your hair, who combed it for you before?" Fourth Master looked at her with an expression that didn't reveal his emotions.

  "As for Master's words, I'm not worthy of such kindness. After entering the manor, I fell ill for a long time and was taken care of by Hong Tao for several months under Sun Shu's arrangement. Now that I've recovered, Hong Tao has gone to the laundry room with Sun Shu, and I still haven't learned how to braid hair..." Ye Zao looked embarrassed.

  "Even when you're at home, you don't comb your hair?" Fourth Master exclaimed in surprise.

  "As for Master's words, our family... has someone... someone serving." Ye Zao was at home and indeed had a maid.

  "Get up, Su Peisheng. Tell someone to help her with her hair. Turning back to look at her, seeing that she was still wearing a semi-new dress: "Can't you even sew?"

  Ye Zao quickly glanced at Fourth Master with a shocked expression, as if to say "How did you know?", then stirred his fingers: "This humble servant... is indeed foolish."

  Fourth Master looked at her deeply for a few moments: "Forget it."

  "Then two, one who can braid hair and one who can sew." Fourth Master suddenly became interested.

  It is said that a concubine's status in the family is either from a merchant or a poor family.

  Ye Shi is not from a merchant family, Fourth Master knows, and his family background is not bad.

  Su Peisheng responded with a "yes" and went out to give orders.

  Ye Zao hastily thanked with a surprised tone: "Your humble servant thanks Master!" The joy in his voice was so clear that Fourth Master heard it loud and clear.

  There's no need for Fourth Master Ye to wait on her anymore, tell her to sit down and eat together.

  Ye Zao thanked and sat down at the lower end.

  Fourth Master eats what, she follows suit, after several times, Fourth Master discovered this rule: "What kind of eating method is this?"

  "Good food... good food... thinking of what Master ate, it was delicious." Ye Zao's face turned red, looking embarrassed.

  Fourth Master originally wanted to ask another question, seeing her like this, he couldn't ask anymore.

  Forget it, just one little girl.

  After dinner, the two of them washed up and Fourth Master stood writing big characters.

  Ye Zao was idle, so Fourth Master asked: "Can you write?"

  Ye Zao nodded hastily: "I will."

  Hmmm, don't mention qin, qi, shu, and hua to me, but I have a special skill.

  "Then write a few words." Fourth Master was very interested.

  Ye Zao nodded and walked over, taking the brush from Fourth Master's hand. After a moment of thought, he wrote "Peach Blossom Spring" by Tao Yuanming with a flourish.

  The first word made Siye's eyebrows twitch upwards.

  Her handwriting is different from her personality. It's very powerful and has a lot of character.

  It doesn't even look like it was written by a little girl.

  After finishing writing, she saw Fourth Master looking at her. Ye Zao's face turned red again: "I... my handwriting was taught by Father. I started learning when I was four years old."

  Fourth Master nodded and looked at the words she wrote.

  It's very good.

  He raised his head again and saw the scar on Ye Zao's left cheek.

  It was also Ye Zao's intention, from the beginning, to deliberately avoid being seen by Fourth Master, all for this moment.

  Fourth Master lifted her chin with his hand: "What's wrong with your face?"

  "Good-for-nothing...the branch scratched me, good-for-nothing wasn't careful..." Ye Zao looked at Fourth Master in terror, with tears welling up in his eyes.

  Fourth Master's hand tightened, and Ye Zao's eyes became even more flustered: "Your humble servant... dares not deceive Master."

  Fourth Master tilted her head slightly to the right and carefully examined the wound.

  "Applied medicine?"

  "No... nothing..." Ye Zao's expression was innocent and frightened.

  "Go to bed and help Master wash his hands." Fourth Master said.

  Ye Zao hurriedly replied and also called out to Fourth Master to hear a long sigh.

  After washing up, Fourth Master called her into the inner chamber, while he himself called Su Peisheng over.

  It's not for Ye Zao to take the lead, but Fourth Master doesn't like it when there are things going on in the backyard that he's not aware of.

  "What's been going on these past few days? How did Ye Shi get hurt?" Fourth Master asked calmly.

  "That servant... didn't know, just yesterday, Ye Gu Niang and Li Ce Fu Jin met in the garden, said Ye Gu Niang was punished to kneel, it's in the main courtyard, Fu Jin called her up. Oh right, previously Ye Gu Niang first served in the bedroom, also got punished by Li Ce Fu Jin to kneel, just in the main courtyard." Su Pei Sheng knew in his heart that Li Shi was favored, but Master also respected Fu Jin.

  Although the imperial concubine is not favored, she is after all the legitimate wife.

  A concubine, in the main wife's Zhengyuan, punishing people, this is not proper.

  "Uh-huh, you go to the warehouse and send that pair of peony hairpins to Zhengyuan." Fourth Master's hand tapped lightly on the table.

  "Ah, I'll go now. Is there anything else you'd like to instruct me, Master?" Su Peisheng looked at him, and Fourth Master still had something to say.

  "Go check on the Ye family. And how was she sent here by her uncle." No matter how you look at it, she doesn't seem like a daughter from a declining family.

  She can't dress her hair or do needlework, but she writes with a beautiful hand, that's the style of a talented lady.

  If there's anything fishy going on here, he won't let Ye Zao's uncle off scot-free.

  "Yes, I know." Su Peisheng replied.

  Fourth Master walked in and saw Ye Zao suddenly stand up, a pair of fox-like eyes looking over with some panic.

  Fourth Master wants to laugh a little.

  Obviously a face that can hook souls and steal spirits, making such a confused and flustered expression is quite interesting.

  "Go to bed."

  Ye Zao responded with a sound, Fourth Master didn't call anyone in, she blew out the lamp first and then put down half of the bed curtain, only after that did she put down the other half.

  Waiting for her to lie down, Fourth Master casually wrapped his arms around her waist: "Serve me."

  Leaf jujube rolled her eyes, and as soon as she went up, she was in a hurry...

  However, still slightly awkwardly serving Fourth Master.

  Fourth Master was very enjoyable, and soon they were engaged in a fierce battle.

  After finishing, Ye Zao fell asleep, and Fourth Master subconsciously stretched out his hand and touched her face.

  On his smooth face, that mark was very obvious. In the darkness, Fourth Master's eyes narrowed slightly, thinking to himself, Li Shi's heart had become even more ruthless.

  A concubine, apart from good looks, what else can she rely on? If this face is ruined, what hope does Ye Shi have left?

  This is as cruel as harming one's own offspring.
