Mrs. Ruyi said slowly while lying on the ground with her head downcast.
"Trespassing into the master's dormitory will be punished by twenty rods and reduced to a third-class servant."
There are ranks among the maids and servants in the palace. The housekeepers and maids in each house and courtyard, such as Duanmu Minya, Qiujuan and Xia Jin, are on the same level.
The second class is still the maids and servants who wait in each master's chamber.
The third class is those maids and boys who do rough work, such as laundry, bathroom, kitchen and other rough work!
When the maids and servants kneeling behind Mrs. Ruyi heard this, they immediately kowtowed louder and begged desperately.
Each of them was proud to be a maid and a servant in the master's house. Now that they heard that they were going to be demoted, and there was a chance that they would be demoted to a place such as the Gongfang, how could they not desperately beg for mercy?
"In this case, you should each go and receive your punishment. Madam Ruyi should know exactly what to do. You all should stand down."
Duanmu Minya's lazy gaze passed over everyone's heads. She continued to play with her jade-like fingers leisurely, waving casually to indicate that they could go down, although she looked very casual and arrogant on the surface.
But only she knew that her hair stood up at the sight of Xuanyuan Qingtian's probing and peering eyes, like a cheetah examining its prey.
Damn it, he wouldn't doubt anything anymore. For the first time in so many days, Duanmu Minya felt Xuanyuan Qingtian's probing eyes towards her, even though he had looked at her before.
But I never felt that he wanted to know her or study her eyes. His previous eyes showed no interest in her at all.
But today's gaze contained a research meaning that made her panic!
Damn it, her arrogant and arrogant attitude did not scare him away, but attracted his interest. Why on earth was this?
Duanmu Minya couldn't figure it out. Could it be that what she did was not cruel enough?
Okay then! Duanmu Minya raised her eyebrows slightly, and a cold starlight flashed through her eyes!
"Wait!" Duanmu Minya suddenly raised her voice to ask them to stop!
"Every one of you knows what crime you have committed and what punishment you deserve, including Mrs. Ruyi. Now I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes. As long as any of you sees that the punishment that someone has received is wrong or cut corners, as listed below thirty
Twenty blows, or even ten blows, or those who should be punished at the same time, or who only received one, as long as you come and report to this princess, I will have many rewards, and forget the past, not only will you be promoted to first-class servants, but also to the rank of first-class servant.
