The slaves immediately returned to their positions and began to work.
01 had died by the time they finished their work. However, the supervisors didn’t remove her body, leaving it hanging on the stake until the arrival of a high-ranking official. Only then were all the bodies removed from the stakes.
That day, they were working as usual when they saw a series of magnificent carriages pull into the mine. The supervisors stood in formation, waiting humbly beside the carriages.
When the high-ranking official disembarked, a slave stepped over to the carriage and served as a human footstool, allowing the high-ranking official to step on their back and disembark.
The supervisors led the high-ranking officials around the mine. Soon, they reached the female slaves’ work area.
One of them shouted to everyone, “Stop what you’re doing and follow me.”
The female slaves were thrilled and hurried to follow the supervisors, heading for the mine’s best perch. At this moment, a middle-aged man sat on the high platform. The supervisor, who had always acted arrogantly, now bowed before him.
The supervisor addressed the master above, “Lord Wang, all the slave girls are summoned.”
Wang Jing slowly put down his teacup, stood up unhurriedly, and stepped down from the platform. He commanded the female slaves kneeling on the ground before him.
“Raise your heads!”
Upon hearing this, the female slaves raised their heads, revealing their most beautiful sides.
Wang Jing slowly walked past them, his gaze sweeping across their faces.
The more he looked, the more his frown deepened.
Wang Jing truly didn’t understand why the master had to suddenly choose several dancers from the female slaves in the mine. The female slaves in the mine were all ugly, not at all attractive.
Wang Jing had been reluctant to come to such a place, and this time, he had come because of the master’s order.
He patiently passed them one by one, and with each passing female slave, a look of disappointment crossed their faces.
As Wang Jing approached, Bei Yutang wiped the dirt off her face.
When Wang Jing walked in front of Bei Yutang, his eyes, which had been careless and lazy, suddenly lit up. He looked at the person in front of him in surprise.
Beautiful, very beautiful, even more beautiful than the Eighteenth Concubine, the most favored concubine in the mansion.
The head supervisor, who was accompanying Wang Jing, was also taken aback when he saw Bei Yutang’s appearance. He had never expected such stunning beauty to exist among these slave girls.
He couldn’t help but feel sorry in his heart.
Such beauty had been missed in vain.
Why hadn’t he seen her before?
The head supervisor noticed that there was still some dirt on her temples and frowned slightly. It seemed that this damned female slave had deliberately hidden it. The head supervisor was secretly resentful and wanted to teach this ungrateful woman a lesson.
Wang Jing pointed at Bei Yutang and said, “Stand up.”
Bei Yutang obediently stood up.
Wang Jing then found four more female slaves, who looked relatively decent. After selecting them, he took Bei Yutang and the others away.
Bei Yutang and the other four female slaves rode in the same carriage. The female slaves in the carriage were all staring at Bei Yutang’s face.
One of them asked curiously, “How come you are so beautiful but come to the mine? Did you offend someone?”
Bei Yutang smiled and said, “I was sent here because I was sick.”
“Oh. I see.” Seeing that she didn’t talk much, the female slave also tactfully stopped talking.
Bei Yutang slightly lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the bare mine in the distance, which was getting farther and farther away from her. She finally came out of there, at least one step closer to Feng Chi.
