Banou waited till Lady Peng stop cry. Together they get off the carriage into he mansion. She ask Lady Peng to follow her to the open study room. They sit down and the maids brings in the tea and some pastry. Outside the garden, the butterfly are fly and they look like dancing around.
Banou ask the maid to leave the study room. She waited till they are all walk away. She see her two mischievous sons hiding behind the bush. She call them out and ask them to go do their homework. She watch them disappear and she pour the tea. Lady Peng wonder why the Consort Princess is chasing everyone away.
"Lady Peng, do you remember that man who was a friend of your father that help you and your mother in the Royal Music Academy?"
"Yes i know him. He is a scholar who always comes to the mansion to meet father for a game of chess."
"Do you remember his name?"
"His name... Yao Ning Ling. I think. I am not too sure. Why?"
"Well, if he is the friend of your father's. He may be able to assist you in getting a new life."
Her eyes open big and wonder what did she hear. She continue to stare at Banou who is slipping her tea. After she put down the tea cup, Banou look at Lady Peng.
"The only one can create a magic for you now, is your father's friend. Tell me how much you know about him. So that i can get someone to contact him and see if he is wiling to help you."
Banou ask her adopted son if the scholar academy have a lecturer by the surname of Yao. It turns out there is someone of the surname but they are not sure if he is the one who is the friend of the minister Peng. Banou ask her son to go find out and he promise to return with an answer. He return two days later and confirm that there is a Yao lecturer, His name is Yao Ying Ling and he is wiling to help the daughter of his long time friend. In order for Lady Peng to die, she needs to fake her death. In order to leave the city safety, she needs a new identity tag with registration in the Yamen. Thus Banou needs her other son's help to create the identity.
To fake her death, firstly they start from the help of the servants to say that she is sick. Their trusted physician is asked to help to safe a girl's life. He obliged as Banou have help him many times in times of need. Thus to have a white lie to help to safe a life, he is most wiling. So with the help of her sons, the servants and some outside help, they blind through the Royal family. Li Cheng is the last to know but he did not complain and help them to mask the identity of the dead Lady Peng. In the end, a corpse is found to replace Lady Peng and place in the coffin. Her death was mourn for five days as per regulation. Min Min went to the Yamen to report Lady Peng's death. Along with the physician's certificate of dead. Her existence in the city is erase on the record. They buried the coffin in the mountains with her name on it. Days later, her son in the Yamen make an entry that Yao Rou Ming have enter the city. He also made a name tag in secrecy. While in the broad daylight, Lady Peng is hiding in the delivery cart for vegetables from the food supplier that comes to the mansion everyday. She hid in the cart for a day and later she hide at the store room. Min Min comes over daily to give her food to eat while pretending to buy more food for the mansion. After two weeks, the manservants of the Yao residences comes to purchase a large quantity of food. Lady Peng at this point have moved into the cart and stow away into the Yao residence. She finally met Yao Ying Ling. She cried and bow to him on her knees. That old gentlemen help her up and said that she is like his daughter and he did not know how to help her escape that life that she is trapped in. Now with the Consort Princess's help, it is possible.
Lady Peng is now Yao Rou Ming, the distance niece of the Yao family. She will travel to the county in HeiLongJiang to live. His uncle and aunty who doesn't have a daughter is wiling to take her in. Plus they don't have nearby neighbours so no one will know her. To leave the city, He dress her up like a country girl would dress. He had those servants to donate some poor unsightly outfit for her. The makeup on her is to make her skin look darker from the country side. A bun on top of her head that is plain and neat. Her eyebrows are darken. While her lips are dust with white powder. Her nails are fill with soil from the flower pot. She once wear embroidery silk shoes now, she only have a normal rough cloth shoes. Lady Peng look at the mirror and say goodbye to her old self. In her hands, she hold her new identity tag tightly. She is now a niece of Yao family.
On a sunny day, Yao Ying Ling tells her that they are leaving for the city. She pick up her little cloth bag and enter the carriage. The carriage purposely take the route to pass the prince's mansion. She see Banou is standing outside with her grandson. She feel a tingly sadness in her. She wants to cry. They look at each other as the carriage pass by. Banou who is watching the carriage rolling in a comfortable speed wish her all the best in her new life. May she never enter this terrible situation again.
