Mu YingRui nodded and reclined spread-eagled on the bed. He pulled Second Yiniang over, “Quickly, help this Ye massage. This Ye is paining to death.”
Second Yiniang immediately pretended to be distressed. “What’s wrong? What happened? Don’t frighten beiqie. Why randomly hurt? Where does it hurt? Is it bad?”
Mu YingRui saw Second Yiniang was so concerned about him and his heart was more comfortable. He pulled her and kissed her face. He lecherously said, “Your heart worries about this Ye? Then serve Ye well.”
Second Yiniang said, a bit grudgingly, “Beiqie wants to serve Laoye well, but Laoye doesn’t give beiqie an opportunity to.”
Mu YingRui thought that he hadn’t come here in a long time and immediately smiled embarrassedly, “Aren’t I here now? The opportunity is yours tonight.”
Second Yiniang was so happy she was in tears. She took the chance to tell Laoye how much she longed for and missed him. The corny words made Mu YingRui unable to wait until nighttime to unsheathe his sword from his scabbard.
Second Yiniang thought of the things she inquired these past few days and immediately stopped Mu YingRui. She pretended to be distressed and said, “Laoye, actually beiqie also wants...and misses Laoye’s urgency. But beiqie heard that these days, Laoye’s body was suffering from kidney issues. If beiqie doesn’t stop Laoye now, is beiqie still human? Beiqie may be of low birth but I can’t risk disregard Laoye’s body for beiqie’s selfish desires. Laoye, you must take care of yourself! If beiqie leaves Laoye, she isn’t able to live on!”
These words did not mention Wang Yiping. But, in fact, every word was condemning her for not thinking for the sake of Mu YingRui’s body.

Finally, she reminded Mu YingRui that she could not survive without him. But it was hard to say with furen. Otherwise, why would she not stop her [Wang Yiping] and him from doing “it”?
Furen was born to a rich, noble family, unlike her: lowborn and on one’s own.
Second Yiniang was the daughter of a merchant. How could she not have a bit of scheming? So, none of the women in these courtyards were easy to deal with.
With Second Yiniang’s urgings, he immediately formed opinions on Wang Yiping. Because Second Yiniang was correct. Wang Yiping knew of his kidney issues, but still kept entangling with him. She didn’t let go of him even in the daytime. Wasn’t this asking for his life?
Mu YingRui recalled that because of her, he suffered a kick from his father. He immediately told Second Yiniang, “Only Yan’er (Second Yiniang’s name was Xi Yan) knows to care for this Ye! Furen is too young to be sensible. If it wasn’t because of her today, this Ye wouldn’t have been reprimanded by my father.”
Mu YingRui spoke of how Wang Yiping egged him on to obtain maidservants. Second Yiniang immediately exclaimed, “Heavens! No wonder Lao TaiYe was angry. Laoye doesn’t know what the slaves were bought for? They were special gifts Xiaojie presented to Lao TaiYe and Second Ye [Mu YingYi]. Xiaojie said she would teach them martial arts and medicine so they could follow Lao TaiYe and Second Ye onto the battlefield to help wounded soldiers. Of course Xiaojie wouldn’t agree to give these girls to anyone. Furen thus egged on Laoye to get the girls, no wonder Lao Taiye beats Laoye and is angry with Laoye for being unfilial.”
“What! There is such a thing?” Only at this time, did Mu YingRui found out his daughter’s intentions for purchasing the slaves.
