A month later
"Jier!! I won't let you just walk away!! I will repay you many times over!!" Said Li Wei.
"If you just use your mouth then you'll never make it. Use brains! The longer he was the smarter he spoke, as if he were someone else. She had already learned to be cunning like concubine Jiao." Concubine Yao said.
"Curtain!!! Because my sister is threatened not to learn!!! I won't just let him!!!" Inner Li Wei.
The residence of the concubine Jiao
"Jieru, aren't you tired?" Ask concubine Jiao.
"Jieru wasn't tired, Jieru was happy to bring the mistress around." Jieru replied with a smile.
"If only my daughter hadn't been killed back then, she might have been as big as you." Concubine Jiao rubbed Jieru's face.
Concubine Jiao recalls the incident 24 years ago, her newborn daughter was kidnapped. After days of searching, the soldiers found a baby corpse. The cloth that wrapped the body of the corpse was the cloth used for the baby, she was very much remembered with the flower motif that she embroidered herself. He wanted to kill himself because he was too shocked.
His condition was bad for 6 months, during which time also concubine Yao gave him herbal medicine under the guise of recovery. After his condition better the healer checked and declared that he would not be able to have children again.
"Han greeted concubine Jiao and older brother Jieru." A boy approached them.
"Han! Why did you come? Are you done studying?" Ask Jieru.
"Are you ditching?" The concubine Jiao.
"Hehe!!!! No, I'm done studying." Answer Han.
"The answer is honest!!" Jieru stared hard.
"Alright, alright. There was only one lesson left, I didn't like the teacher so I left. No one realized I was missing, wasn't I great?" Han puffed out his chest as a proud expression towards his wrong actions.
"Don!!!!!!!!!!! Do you want me to teach you the last lesson of the day?!" Jieru asked with a preying gaze and a wooden stick that he knew when he was in his hand.
"Luh..... Next time don't do that again, if you want to come here after you've finished studying. Jieru, don't be angry anymore." Consort Jiao said.
"Good, madam. Han is already like Jieru's sister, but am I allowed to pull her ears with a 'slow', madam?" Ask Jieru.
Concubine Jiao smiled, "I won't allow it, you must be doing it strongly." Answer concubine Jiao.
"Thank you, concubine Jiao!!!!" Han smiled widely as he managed to avoid punishment.
"What made you come here to the point that you dared to ditch? Just to avoid the last lesson?" Ask Jieru.
"I'm here to thank concubine Jiao and brother. If only you had not come with the healer, it is possible that the mother still lay placed to sleep until now. Hix.... We are poor, brother fought hard working as a palace servant for us. Her.... Hix... Do anything for hicks... Our. He trapped big brother for sure because it was paid by concubine Yao. Brother forgive Brother Wei. Han please..... Hix... Hix... Hicks...." Han crying.
Jieru hugged Han tightly, "Don't cry, I've never had a grudge against Li Wei. We know he must have had to do that after seeing how you were doing."
"Where do you know if Li Wei tried to frame Jieru?" Ask concubine Jiao.
"When I came here in secret I heard another servant talking about what happened a month ago, I apologized for Wei's brother almost making Jieru lose his life." Answer Han.
"Here you go, you don't have to apologize. I've long since forgiven Li Wei." Jieru rubbed Han's wet face.
"You guys are very good people, Brother Wei was wrong for taking concubine Yao's orders. After all that you guys keep helping us, Han is really very grateful!!!" Han prostrated.
"There is only one way for you to thank, study hard. I won't forgive or accept a word of thanks from you if you're truant again!!" Jieru lifted the body of the 7-year-old boy.
"Han will never forget the kindness of concubine Jiao and brother Jieru!!! Han promised to study hard!!! Han will show that Han can succeed and make father proud!!!" Han said firmly and with confidence.
Han's mother was the second wife of a famous merchant in the city, but being married to honor a parent's agreement made Han's mother unwelcome. They were ignored, even when Han's mother was seriously ill no one was willing to help.
Jieru was able to understand why Li Wei was willing to do concubine Yao's orders, all that she did for her little family. The son of a wealthy famous merchant became a servant in the palace, he only thought of ways that his mother could recover and his sister could learn. After seeing the circumstances secretly she forgave Li Wei's actions and felt guilty, therefore she and concubine Jiao came with the healer to check on her mother's circumstances.
