Of course!

"You want me to let you off? Sure!" The moment Ji Yunkai opened her mouth, the four maidservants were immediately filled with joy. Before Ji Yunkai could say anything, they prepared to get up, but they were kicked down by Ji Yunkai the moment they moved: "Who allowed you all to get up?"

There was always a group of people, who thought that they stood at the highest point of morality, and who also treated the tolerance shown by others as them being easy to bully.

One must know, the original Ji Yunkai was forced to death by these people.

"How will Miss punish us?" The four maidservants cried miserably, but they were not afraid of Ji Yunkai at all. "Young Miss, you better think carefully. We are Madam's people." No one knew better than they did of how scared Ji Yunkai was of their mistress.

"You still dare to threaten me? Originally, I only wanted to beat you a few times, but since you threatened me, then... I'll just follow the rules of the house." Ji Yunkai turned, walked a few steps, and closed the courtyard door with a *pa*.

It was only then that the four maidservants realized the seriousness of the situation and panicked, "Miss, you... don't act recklessly. If you dare touch us, Madam will not let you go."

Ji Yunkai said in disdain, "I have already beaten all of you, so what can Madam Ji do to me?" Did these four maidservants have brains? She was going to be married tomorrow, so how could Madam Ji punish her? Confine or starve her again?

"Miss, if you let us go now, we'll pretend that nothing happened." With this crisis approaching, the four maidservants were quick to think. Unfortunately, it was too already late to say or do anything.

"Don't be stupid, I'm going to be married into Prince Yanbei's Mansion tomorrow. Can Madam Ji still control me?" In order to make the four maidservants give up, Ji Yunkai kindly reminded them of this.

"No, no, no. Eldest Miss! Eldest Miss, we were wrong! We were really wrong! Eldest Miss, please let us go, please let us go.... " They were truly afraid now, and they could not muster up any thoughts of revenge.

*Bang! Bang! Bang!* The four maidservants kowtowed for their lives. Fortunately, Ji Yunkai's courtyard was made of mud, so, no matter how hard they kowtowed, they would not bleed. They could not take their own life.

Ji Yunkai raised her eyebrows, "It's too late to be afraid now!" In her memory, it was also a hot day like this when Madam Ji had punished the original owner to kneel in this very same courtyard. At the time, she had these four maidservants supervise her punishment. If they felt like she did not kneel sincerely, they would beat her with a stick.

These four maidservants were truly worthy of being Madam Ji's people. The original owner had knelt wrong, her eyes were insincere, and her body swayed from side to side as she admitted her mistakes. All of these were valid reasons for them to beat up the original owner.

The original owner, a nine year old girl, knelt under the hot sun for a few hours and was beaten countless times. If not for the medicine left behind by her master, she would have been crippled.

However, the more time passed, the more ruthless Madam Ji's methods became. Gradually, she stopped using corporal punishment as a method to test the waters, and instead used mental abuse.

Ji Yunkai hatefully retorted, "Whatever the cause and result, all of you have to be glad that I am cowardly; otherwise, I would have already cut you into ten-thousand pieces." To mistreat a child who did not have the ability to protect herself, they were not kind people. Not at all.

"Miss, we were wrong! I beg you, please let us go! I beg you…! We had no other choice. If we do not listen to Madam, Madam would not let us go." The four maidservants were crying so hard that they had snot and tears flowing all over their faces. They were secretly regretting their decision to persuade their Mistress to let Ji Yunkai live in such a remote courtyard alone.

"I cannot let go of the culprit, nor can I let go of the accomplice. Didn't you all send me a wedding dress? Good. Now, take off your clothes and try out whether this wedding dress fits or not." Ji Yunkai casually picked up a tree branch and held it in her hand.

"Young, Young Miss?" The four maidservants were stunned. They stared at Ji Yunkai, unable to comprehend what she was doing.

"Didn't you hear me? Get up, take off your clothes, and try on this wedding dress." Ji Yunkai waved the tree branch, but did not whip the four maidservants.

She was still too soft-hearted to continue.

"Yes, yes, your servant will take it off now." The four maidservants stood up, pushed and squeezed each at each other. So that only one of them was pushed out to try on the wedding dress. Without waiting for them to pick their candidate, Ji Yunkai said, "The four of you, take off your clothes! Now!"

"Miss?" The four maidservants cried out in alarm. Their small bodies shaking non-stop.

"What is it? Do you want me to do it?" Ji Yunkai raised the branch in her hand, but before she could continue, the four maidservants were already trembling in fear, shaking their heads: "Ta-Take, this servant will take it off now."

The courtyard that Ji Yunkai resided in was remote and normally, almost no one would bother to come here. Even if they took off all their clothes, no one would see it. The four of them did not dare to refuse and quickly took off their outer robes, leaving only their inner garments.

"Take off your inner garment as well." Ji Yunkai swept a glance at them, and said coldly.

The four maidservants looked at the tree branch in Ji Yunkai's hand, and obediently took off their inner garment. Only their undergarments were left, revealing their snow-white back and long legs, causing others to daydream.

Of course, as a woman, Ji Yunkai had no intention to admire them. She pointed at the wedding dress on the ground: "Go try."

"Yes, yes." The four quickly stepped forward. They did not care if the wedding dress was clean or not, as they put them on. One put on the wedding dress, while the other three helped to tidy them up. Not long after, there was a servant girl dressed up.

"Miss, your servant…." The servant turned and invited Ji Yunkai to have a look, but she saw that Ji Yunkai had burnt all their clothes.

"Miss, what are you doing!?" The four maidservants were going crazy. Without clothes, how were they going to get out?

When the clothes started to burn, Ji Yunkai clapped her hands in satisfaction. She raised her head and looked at the four maidservant girls coldly. Then she pointed at the door and said: "Now, take the wedding dress and get out of my courtyard!"

"Miss, what did you say?" The four maidservants were stunned on the spot. They forgot to react, as well as to remedy the situation.

"Now, get out of my yard!" Ji Yunkai picked up the branch and walked forward: "I'll count to three. Don't blame me if you don't leave!"

"No, no, we can't go out like this." The four maidservants were startled awake, they rushed forward to save their clothes, but Ji Yunkai's hands moved even faster than they did. The swinging branch, instantly drew them back.

*Pah!* As the stick struck a maidservant's back, her beautiful, snow-white back immediately became swollen. The maidservant who was hit cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

*Pah!* Another maidservant, who was also hit by the attack, quickly retreated and said, "Young Miss, Young Miss! Please spare our lives!"

"Get out!" Ji Yunkai's face was stern, and with the black spots on her right cheek, she looked extremely terrifying.

If they were to run out naked like this and be seen by others, would they still have any face to see others?
