"Can you tell me... please Yin Wen."
"Ban Nu Jie Jie... I really did have a crush on Li Cheng. I told my mother. She said she will help me. She nag at father everyday about organising a banquet at home. She nag at him till he can't take it. When the day arrived, she put medicine in his cup. Together with her personal maid, three of us drag him to my room. The maid keep a watch out. I just want to see him, that's all. I did not know what my mother was thinking. I was admiring how handsome he is. My mother told me to strip his clothes and strip my clothes. I argue with her for awhile and she told me i have to do my duty as the member of Luo family. In order to move a higher ranking in life and father's career i have to sleep with him and give him my first time. I cry when those words come out of her mouth. He is knockout, my mother had ... used herself to make him hard. She forced me to sit on him. Ban Nu Jie Jie... It is so humiliating that i want to forget that night. My mother lift me up and down on him. I am in such a pain..."
She cry and Banou hug her. It is then there is loud commotion coming from outside. It is Yin Wen's mother who is screaming and yelling. She push her way through to reach the living quarter of Banou's boudoir.
"You! How dare you! I am the mother of Luo Yin Wen!"
"And i am the Consort Princess! How dare you!"
At that moment the male servants have already gather at Banou's boudoir. They block the screaming woman.
"If being polite i can't send you away then i shall throw you out of my mansion!"
Wang MoMo instruct the men to drag her out. Luo Yin Wen hold on to the skirt of Banou's and watch her mother dragged out.
"Later, i think your father might come here. You might have to tell him the same thing but you should skip those ... details. Your father is old now. He is a good and honest man. However he needs to hear what his wife had done for him. Let him deal with it. If he loves you, he will punish your mother. If he choose to ignore it... Yin Wen, you still have this family. We will shelter you like an umbrella under the rain."
Concubine Luo hear those words, she burst out crying. Wang MoMo come running together with Banou to help Yin Wen up and enter the bedroom of Banou's. Aylin already have rush to fetch a physician. The chaos have turn slowly into a quiet afternoon.
That afternoon, Wang MoMo already have send a message to the empress. While Minister Luo have gone to complain to the emperor base on his wife who return home in a unsightly appearance. While Li Cheng is summon back to the palace. While Banou is taking care of Yin Wen, she sent Wang MoMo to the empress.
"Tell the empress, concubine Luo show signs that she is going to go on labour soon. While the midwifes are not here yet. I have to stay here. Go! Wait! When you are there... if there is anyone who have experience of helping to deliver babies. Please get them here."
Wang MoMo bow and quickly leaves for the palace. While Banou keep checking on Yin Wen. She occasionally wake up in pain. There is no blood nor water leaking thus Banou feels she should be fine till the midwives can arrive. Banou along with Li Xin take turns to stay with concubine Luo. Making sure she is comfortable and not in labour yet. The midwives from the palace comes and stay in the mansion till the original midwives that are engaged for the concubine's labour. The night moves slowly and dreadful.
In the morning Banou find the bedsheets are soak with water and concubine Luo is sweating in buckets. She is rolling in pain. Banou hurry to get the midwives to prepare and see what is needed. Wang MoMo sent a message to the palace and ask to allow Li Cheng to return to the mansion. While concubine Luo goes into a long labour. Banou and Li Xin stay outside waiting for the news. Li Cheng appear a few hours later. Banou did not interact with Li Cheng. As if they are strangers in the same space. By late evening, a baby cries can hear throughout the mansion. A baby girl is born. The daughter that Li Cheng always wanted. Banou did not feel happy at that point and Li Cheng did not go into the bedroom to see his new born daughter and concubine. He stay outside and step into the same room where Banou goes. He waited for Banou to yell or question him what had happen but instead she ignore him.
The next few days Li Cheng did not return to camp, instead like a child, he follow Banou around the mansion. He watch her daily activities. Li Nan who is watching his parents feel sorry for his father. A moment of weakness he make his wife ignore him for such a long period of time. His father also grown a beard and moustache looking like a homeless man who is wondering around the mansion.
