"Old Madame, I apologies for the trouble my decision has brought you" Rachel said once the couple was completely gone.

The old Madam eyes soften "Child, how could you give your position away so easily" she walked closer to Rachel her eyes where said.

"Old Madam, do you not want a grandchild to hold you in these late years" Rachel asked in a cooled soft tone.

"Of course, I do child" Old Madam said while frowning.

"Hanying, may not be able give you that child. I told by physician recently that, it was nearly impossible."

"…." The Old Madam eye's watered.

"Old Madam how can I stay the Main Wife, knowing this, I and for the Marquis residence the heir must be from the main wife. Even if it is not me."

"Oh, Child, Sweet Child….." The Old Madam squeezed her old on Rachel's hand.

"Old Madam, this household has not had children's laughter in some time" Rachel squeezed the old Madam hands back "Never mind all the hardships, Old Madam, you've had a long journey. How about this one gives you a message"

"Yes, I would love one" Old Madam eyes lit up as she had forgotten about her medical message, it was true since Rachel was and excellent at this sort of thing and Old Madam can't deny how good she feels by the end of it. Rachel looked at the Old Madam two maid servants and they nodded their heads and scuttled off. They went to prepared for Old Madam to rest, since she always falls asleep after one of Rachel message.

Rachel traveled back to her courtyard with Long as they returned, Rachel saw her Harp glazed beautiful and standing wonderfully. Rachel's other maid Servants where standing around it, looking amazed at the object produced with hard work.

"Bring me a Chair." Rachel said walking forward she was going to start tuning it. At the first strung a beautiful and powerful sound came out. "Beautiful" Rachel face lit up like a child and a smile that could tame thousands was brought into life. Long, Hana, LuLu, and JoJo stood stunned at a smile usually only they had the privilege to see.

Once it was completely tuned Rachel in her excitement her face still glowing couldn't help but excitedly play.

"Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you

That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance

And s.p.a.ces between us

You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on"

The entrance Maid servants where wonder struck.

"Now let's carry it inside. Best to keep it out of the courtyard."

They nodded their heads and walked up to the Harp, they were shocked at how light it was and carried it inside. Rachel looked at the blue sky before going back to her room.

As days rolled by Rachel would spend most of her morning catering to the Old Madam making sure she is satisfied, she was honestly worried for this woman. In this era one her age shouldn't worry too much and would do a lot to get her mind off troublesome things.

Eventually one day while Rachel was with the Old Madam after the first meal of the day, Wei Cui had asked Rachel to hand the account Books asked. Rachel did but she asked if Wei Cui was ready to take charge. Which made her maid upset and lash out and then punished by the Old Madam.

Rachel still handed the Account Books to Wei Cui.

Another day went and Wei Cui started to think about Children and became anxious, despite being only married for a month she was already thinking about children this soon. Maybe it was because The Old Madam had been really hard on her for her mannerisms and thought that a child would cool her down.

She did seem to love the Marquis, so it must hurt for her to be fighting his mother. But then again he love is certainly selfish.

"Why are you so anxious?" Marquis Moyu sighed, "It's not like I'm forcing you."

Wei Cui glared at him, "You're not a woman, so you naturally don't understand the plight of women. I'm worried to death, but you can't understand how I'm feeling at all."

Liu Mountain was a little way outside of the capital, but the temple there had fertility charms. It would take about a month to go there and back. But Wei Cui was willing as long as she could get child.

Rachel couldn't help but think that she was being over dramatic since it had only been a day. But at the same time, she was all for it, if both Zheng Rong and Wei Cui could leave that would be idea.

Concubine Gao is pregnant, though she doesn't know. Rachel had been watching her and a doctor had finally confirmed it for her. She took great lengths to have it kept a secret, until it was stable. And it if the two-lead leave by this time then by the time they come back. Concubine Gao would be three months.

Wei Cui seeing one of her husband's concubine's pregnant after trying so hard. Makes a person wonder how she'll take it.

Marquis Zheng Rong was slightly unhappy these days as well. He had indulged her too much and this was the result. Wei Cui was becoming increasingly lacking in following the established rules. When she hadn't followed etiquette once or twice, he most likely had regarded it as her being young and cutely spoiled.

Wei Cui was faced with stress from her mother-in-law, wanting a child, and her husband being displeased with her. But she always had the man's love and that was the only thing she could depend on in the Marquis household. When faced with odds couple with other factors likes the Concubines whispering in her ear.

Rachel can already see this woman is downgrading and soon she will blacken. Rachel sighed and went back to her room; she had a.n.a.lyzed these people to much.

"Such a magnificent instrument" Old Madam said in a daze after hearing just one song. "To think such a large thing had such a beautiful sound" The Madam had been looking more refreshed these days, since her son and the wild girl left for the Liu Mountains three weeks ago.

Rachel nodded her head "I had a doctor check on Concubine Gao"

"Ohhh" Old Madam frowned at the sudden change in topic.

"She is with child" Rachel said softly

The Old Madam's eye sparkled and then dimmed at she looked at Rachel. "Child..."

"Is this not something to celebrate, Old Madam" Rachel held the old Women hands "You are to have a grandchild, whether they be a son or a daughter."

After another month the couple came back to hear the surprised news of Concubine Gao, seeing the bulged belly of the concubine. This was tantamount to slapping Wei Cui's face. She couldn't cry and she wasn't able to smile. She locked herself in her room for a long time before she finally came out of her room with red eyes and returned to the main courtyard.

As for the Marquis, it was clear that he wasn't happy. In fact, the child though not bon yet was making his beloved suffer. The Old Madam was happy to have a grandchild, but Concubine Gao backround wasn't appealing.

It would have been socially unacceptable to bring a hostess from a brothel home as a concubine, but the crown prince had taken in Gao Wei first and had her trained for two years. She happened to be nineteen-year-old when she was sent into the marquis's household.

Although she was only a hostess, she was a hostess that the crown prince had intentionally added to the marquis's household. She was left here as the crown prince's representative, so Marquis Zheng naturally had to acknowledge that her status was higher than the other concubines'.

Poor Concubine Gao looks like no one, but Rachel is happy about this new addition to the family. Rachel had no symphony for the women, but she did have for the child.

In the original Novel, Concubine Gao became second Wife when she birthed a son. Her child never had any attention because the Marquis was busy adoring the Child Wei Cui had despite being a daughter. This made the Concubine go crazy and use her son as leverage. But she went to far and killed the boy.

The situation is the same, but the downfall will be different this time, no doubt this time she was making an evil choice. But at least that evil choice will save the life of an innocent.

Wei Cui had already silently cried for an hour and Zheng Rong didn't have any ideas left. He had tried every method to coax her for days, but Wei Cui continued to cry.

He asked, "Do you hate me? You were the one wanted me to favor Gao."

"You're actually turning around and blaming me?" Wei Cui's childish temper started and she sobbed, "Another woman is pregnant with your child before me, and you won't allow me to cry?"

Zheng Rong was speechless, but he couldn't help feeling bad when he heard her crying. Feeling restless, he stood up and walked outside.

Rachel sighed inside as she was playing her Harp in her courtyard, she could tell the man was coming this way. Her maid servants where entranced by the song to the point they didn't seen the Marquis coming until Rachel stopped playing.

"Greetings Marquis" Rachel said bowing respectfully

Marquis waved his hand and abruptly sat down; Rachel looked at her maid servants who hurried off.

"Something bothers you, Marquis?" Rachel said "You don't notable come to this one's courtyard unannounced"

"This Marquis just came to drink some tea"

Rachel frowned as one of her maid servants went and served him. She saw the spark in Lulu's eyes when she did and turned her face away, as she strum the Harp and eventually started playing again.
