十七 The fight between the legal wife and the concubine

Meng Jia Yi did not need to go to the main hall and greet their 'Mother' and so she turned to the North pavilion where the original's biological mother is residing. She has to tell Concubine Ban of what suffering Meng Jia Rui experience, he's her adopted mother after all.

But then she heard the familiar shrill voice of Madam Sima in her trip to the East pavilion, her brows furrowed in curiosity but as the saying goes she would not be the stupid cat that would follow its natural curiosity.

"Miss?"

"Let's go. We shouldn't step up and provoke trouble"

"Yes, miss" XiXi followed her, ignoring the burning curiosity in her eyes.

She bypassed the chaotic mess that was happening on the West pavilion. Meng Jia Yue and the Favored concubine of the Prime Minister must be laughing in a storm as they acted like lotus female characters; urging the foolish Madam Sima to create more chaos to heighten their virtuous reputation.

Soon they entered the familiar path of Concubine Ban's yard, the servants all bowed in respect before turning to their jobs. The personal old maid of Concubine Ban greeted them as she told her to get up, she must be one of Concubine Ban's dowry maids.

"Nanny Shen, is concubine-mother awake?

"Answering young miss's question, Concubine Ban has already been awoken from her nap"

She nodded and followed Nanny Shen to the hallways, the maids do not dare to look at them, the others swept and trim the plants while some wiped the wooden floors and sweep the yard.

She could see that the maids treated the original's mother with respect, even with the help of Meng Jia Rui who was always asked by the Prime Minister's on his homework or the kindness and generosity that she sees in Concubine Ban's eyes; it was all evident in the servant's way of respecting the masters and being dutiful.

"A'Yi" a hint of happiness and surprise fell ok Concubine Ban's lips.

"Greetings to concubine-mother" she placed her hand on her hip and bowed down.

"Get up A'Yi" she moves to her side in obedience.

Ban Rushi held her daughter's hand, pride swells in her heart as she sees her A'Yi looking all prepared for a new chapter of her life. Becoming a wife.

"Have you had lunch yet?" Her daughter shakes her head. "Bring lunch to us and call for young master Jia Rui"

"The slaves obey" Nanny Shen left and ordered the chefs to cook their Young Miss and Young Master's favorite dishes.

While they were waiting a tea was served along with snacks they could snack upon waiting for the main dishes.

"Why is A'Yi here? Is something the matter?"

Her daughter will never come here in her free time and will instead focus on learning from Female tutor Ma Zhen; she was glad to see it of course. She has always believed that being educated will make her child wise; a scholar will be able to reach his peak if he worked hard for it and a woman would be praised as virtuous and talented.

Now that she sees her child after almost a month of not being able to visit, she was worried.

"Mother, is Rui Rui being bullied?"

It was clear that the shock came from two ways; one is when she calls her mother and the other is when she hears that A'Rui was being bullied.

"What? A'Rui... he's being bullied? By whom?" Her words were wobbly.
