"...Father." Aeri stated as she turned around to look at her dad. Her face was solemn her eyes sad looking.

"I know that I should be trying my best to uphold family name but... It has gotten harder I truly have been studying father and trying to pass the exams. The issue wasn't always me sometimes the old madam who was in charge of the sector I was in before wouldn't even allow me to go take the test. Instead she always tried to match make me off with one of her sons or her acquaintances child telling me that I did not need to sit there and become a scholar when I have my mother's foreign looks and my father's last name. It's one of the reasons why I had fought so hard with you and mother to have me switch to a different sector not because I didn't want to have competition with other Noble ladies but because a lot of us we're just being made to match make off with other noble families. I didn't want to say anything and I was too afraid to but this meimei here makes me see that holding one's tongue does nothing and no good. The old madams for the higher up girls those of us who are considered Noble women ourself prevents most of us from studying let alone even taking the exams or tests if we are not able to transfer to a different unit they basically just sit there and try to play matchmaker with us and the Royal guards or their own family members that's why so many of the girls end up marrying off or disappearing few of them decide to go ahead and get into these relationships with the guards who will then leave them pregnant the girls cannot turn back to their parents as they would be disowned and the guards normally are ones that are already engaged or married with children of their own they're then sent to the West Wing of the palace. The real reason no one talks about the West Wing isn't because it's filled with a bunch of girls who are to loose with their legs it's because of the fact that it would expose that these old madams are basically prostituting and pimping out these Noble girls because of course of the noble girl goes with the guard then those guards become essentially spies for them."

She then took a deep breath before she turned around looking directly at Old Madame Zhang and bowing.

"I also must apologize to you. I have bought disrespect and almost ruined the reputation of one of your girls. I also feel like I must let you know that a lot of the higher-ups especially Old Madame Liu. Have been working on trying to ruin the reputation of your girls in the first place when that found out that you had received Daiyu so they were made aware of thanks to the guards that they had bribed with the bodies of those young women that she was the only non City girl to not only pass the initial exams to even get in but she had had the highest score among all of us including us Noble women she was immensely jealous. She thought that if she could possibly find a way to have her or one of your other girls make a fool of you things would work out better it's why you were invited to the banquet I also wouldn't be surprised of one of the girls who worked under her was the one who convinced ZhuZhu to her approach her and says a familiar way at such a high class event. I also feel like I must apologize to the rest of you girls here once again I will not pretend that I had no clue what I was doing but clearly I need to reevaluate a few things in quite a few of the people that I affiliate myself with. I love you all will excuse me father I believe I have people to talk to."

With that the Young beauty walked away. The green scarf she was looking for had been snatched off of ZhuZhu's neck and passing leaving a red mark and nail marks on her throat. No one knew what to do and the silence was only broken once one of the maids finally approached ZhuZhu and started to quickly usher her away so that they can have her see one of the healers.

Huang shifu sighed before he too bowed apologizing and stating that he'd be sure to have a few of his personal guards and maids come to work and stay with them for what his daughter said was true. They were going to need all the help they could get he even sat there and hinted at the upcoming banquet and possibly having his wife and a few of her friends come to help the girls out. Making eye contact with Daiyu as he spoke directly to her.
