Qu Rou Li's radiant smile illuminated the room as she engaged in light-hearted conversation, before leting go of her daughter's presence.

"Tell me, Cai mama,I would like to hear your opinion, What are your thoughts on Sou Qing? She seems to be the quieter one compared to Sou Rou Xue. However, as the saying goes, still waters run deep." she inquired, turning to her trusted wet nurse once the room was empty save for the two of them.

Having cared for Qu Rou Li since infancy, the elder woman regarded her as her own flesh and blood. As she assisted in the delicate task of changing attire, she attentively listened to Qu Rou Li's question, aware of the fiery temper that lay hidden within her, a secret known only her and concubine Yi-shi.

Yun Yi and Qu Rou Li had been inseparable since childhood,when Qu Rou Li entered into marriage with Bai Lang, Yun Yi followed, taking the role of a concubine.
