Ni Qing is sleeping in her room until the night is coming. She is waking up with her stomach rumble. She is stretching her body before she is sitting on her bed. The room is empty, but she can see another maid standing by on the door.

"My name is XIe Lan. I am a new maid in the Ni mansion, but the madame asks me to serve you. The old madame Ni know about your sick maid," Xie Lan is answering to her new master.

"Where do you come from? How old are you?" She is getting curious with this small skinny timid girl in front of her.

"My older brother sells me to every household as slaves, but this is the first house when the master with the yellow robe ask the Mister Ni to get me as your maid. I am coming from the low-income area near the mountain," Xie Lan is answering her.

"Do you know about my position and the master in the golden robe?"

"No, Young madame," Xie Lan is coming closer to Ni Qing and helping her to put on her shoes.

"Where is the master in the golden robe?" Ni Qing found his husband imperial robe fold on the trays inside the room. It means he is wearing a normal outing robe.

"He is inside the study while Old master is welcoming the guest with the young master. Do you want me to do something?" she is asking her new master.

"Get me to Xiao Nie room. I want to check on her," Ni Qing is standing up and walking with her toward the servant compound in the back area. They all are busy with the wedding reception in the mansion. The reception is almost coming to an end. No one is aware of their presence inside the servant compound. They manage to go inside Xiao Nie room where she can see her on the bed with a bandaged head and some bruise on her face. she is sitting up on her bed and reading some book when she looks at the door area to find about her master.

"Young madame…. what are you doing in here?" Xiao Nie is going to get up from the bed, but Ni Qing stops her.

"I am here to check your condition… how are you?" Ni Qing is sitting on the bed next to her loyal maid.

"I am good, young madame. physician, He is coming and checking on me under the instruction of the emperor after attending you. Ahh, Mr Zhou is sending you a secret letter regarding the newest clue of the late empress death," Xiao Nie is telling her about the letter.

"Where is the letter? Ahh, Xiao Nie, you are getting a new friend to attend to me. The emperor is getting me a new maid to help you," Ni Qing is informing her.

"I am going to get it for you… does it means, I will lose my job?" Xiao Nie is looking at her master who stopping her to walk out of the bed. She is obediently following her word to stay on the bed and pointing to the drawer table nearby.

"No one is getting fired here. Xie Lan, get the letter inside that drawer for me," Ni Qing is instructing her. she is obediently following her instruction and getting the letter from inside the drawer.

"Thank you, Xie Lan. You are going to shadowing Xiao Nie and think of her as your older sister. Xiao Nie, you are going to teach her about everything and show her the right and wrong," Ni Qing is telling them before she opens the letter and read the content.

'Qing….

Ni Qing is squeezing the paper into a ball inside her hand. She cannot believe her sister life go to drain due to some of the political manoeuvres from the palace of the empress dowager. However, she still needs to find out and talk with the witness.

She is standing up from her seat on the bed who getting stop by Xiao Nie.

"Young madame, you have to tell the emperor about your plan," Xiao Nie is advising her master about her plan.

"What should I said that I am going to interrogate the witness for my late sister death," Ni Qing is telling her loyal maid who still lay down on the bed.

"Yes…. Indeed, you have to inform me about your departure to find out about your sister died," Jin Yu cold tone is echoing in the room when he is walking inside the room.
