NI Qing is going to her tent inside the barrack when she saw someone familiar. The old lady from inside the refugee camp when she did the disguise. She is changing into decent clothes to match the baby on her arm. it seems that she is having a good relationship and close bond with the baby. she treats the baby as her own family member or as her own grandbaby. she rocks her into her chest and arm without any reservation or worry.
"Old Madame, what are you doing in here?" Ni Qing is going close to her.
"Ohhhh… Li Yu… what are you doing in here? You are looking so different and beautiful," Old Madame Ba is rocking the small prince, Yu.
"My Husband sold me to the old nobleman of Fujian for his gamble money. Apparently, one general saved me and bring me here to lives with him. I pay all my gratitude to this man with my life," Ni Qing is explaining and sit next to her.
"you have to pay him with your lives. I got summon by my King as I was one of the wet nannies from his late prince. I am doing this for my new crown prince as we are dedicating our lives to our King. Poor this little prince to lose their whole family and his royal father also getting hurt in the process to save this prince. You have to repay their kindness to give you the second life," Old Madame told her a piece of advice.
"Yes… Madame, I want to ask you some pieces of advice as you have been living inside the palace," Ni Qing is asking her while Xiao Nie is serving them the tea.
"Palace is not scary to place to live. It might be looking like a prison for you, but you will find the place to hide its charm when you are inside the Palace. However, it will be interesting to see the harem woman of the royal highness the emperor kicks each other and tries to seduce his royal highness. That is the entertainment inside the Palace. Why?"
"Nothing… My Sister is married to the royal highness of Dayu Kingdom King. So, I want to know about life inside the Palace. It must be different from the life in Bai Lan kingdom," Ni Qing is making an excuse for her question.
"Do not worry about your sister. You have to worry about your life now. As the General is saving your life then you have to marry him and leaves that bastard husband," Old Madame Bai is giving her the advice.
"Who needs to leave the bastard husband?" Jin Yu is entering the tent which makes all of them curtsy to him. He gives them a sign to stand up before he sat down in the middle of the room.
"This old lady is giving out the advice to young miss here to repay the generous General with her hand of married and leaves the bastard husband who sold her," the old Madame Bai is letting out the advice she gave to Ni Qing.
"Who is this bastard husband?" Jin Yu tries to hold his anger for the word he heard. She dares to bad mouth the emperor of the country; it means she does not want her head anymore.
"She has this pity life in the past where her husband finishes her in-law wealth and sold her to some old guy as his mistress. However, she got save by this brave General, so I suggest she marries him to repay his kindness," The old madame tell Jin Yu everything. Ni Qing can see his expression changes to this icy cold.
"Indeed, this is the right thing to do to repay his kindness. I will ask the General to do it straight away," Jin Yu is telling her about the idea.
"You are really wise your highness," Old Madame Bai is bowing in place of her to express the gratitude.
"Who is this lucky lady?" Jin Yu already has the hunch for the lucky lady in Old Madame Bai story.
"This is the beautiful lady who gets unlucky for her whole life. This is the time for her to get the happiness in her life," Old Madame Bai is pushing Ni Qing ahead.
"You are joking me… her husband did not sell her and finish his family wealth. I think you get the wrong story…" Jin Yu is trying to give her a different story.
"What do you mean, your highness?" the old madame Bai is looking at him in her confuses state.
"She is married to the family and her husband is giving her a lot of leniencies, yet she still having this considering to run away with her sweetheart General. She still does not want to accept the whole condition to be a good wife to her husband and stay at his house," The poker face emperor is telling her the whole story.
"Ohhhhh… it means she needs to enter the husband family house and starts to live as his wife. She cannot do that kind of thing even her husband is making mistake, but she has to accept her husband wholeheartedly," Old Madame Bai takes Jin Yu side.
"I did not want to run away… if I marry my husband, I have only become his concubine. He has so many women inside his mansion, and yet he pesters me to stay inside his harem. I am still doing my job as his wife, yet he still goes out and spending his family fortune and find a lot of women to add to his harem," Ni Qing is refuting his side of the story.
"I do not think he did stuff without reason… As the family leader, I have to accept any political wedding bestowed to me by the elder. Either I am complying with the wedding or my family reputation get tarnish. She cannot be selfishly asking him to abandon him, the whole family, without thinking about the consequences," Jin Yu explained the whole picture.
