"She hasn't sent out any letter. Second Madam Xie has been carrying on like normal greeting the Madam and returning to her room. She has mostly been focused on making oddities here and there. Just like when she was the Madam before."
Marquis Zheng Rong found this baffling. With Xie Hanying's temperament, it was strange that she didn't cause something to happen somehow for this long.
"Then she has reformed" Said Wei Cui "My husband, it would be best if you go to her room."
Marquis Zheng Rong expression looked somewhat ugly. "You want me to go to Xie Hanying's room?"
Wei Cui lowered her eyes, She quietly said, "Old Madame will be coming back in two days. You'll have to go to her room sooner or later, so you might as well let me act as a sensible, worthy wife."
Marquis Zheng Rong furrowed his brow. He stood up, walked to Wei Cui's front, lifted her chin with his hand, and said, "You really don't mind?"
Wei Cui's mockingly curved her lips, "Has my lord ever stopped himself from going to another courtyard in consideration for my feelings?"
Marquis Zheng Rong's brow relaxed. There was a trace of childish glee in his eyes. "Are you jealous?"
Wei Cui turned her head away. "Before I married you and became your wife, I already mentally prepared myself with having to share you with other women. It's only that I can't completely accept this reality right now, so I still feel bad. But, it'll be fine once I get over these feelings on my own."
Rachel waved her hand to stop listening as she leaned back and pushed her hair back, today was nothing unusual. Concubine Gao Wei went on complaining about her to the other concubines and the now First Madam. Concubine Zhu Xiang is still sickly, Concubine Fan Yahui is leaning herself toward the First Madam trying to make her and the first Madam into enemies.
All except in the Marquis visiting her tonight which annoyed her but, he won't do anything. So when he walked into her courtyard Rachel was making herself a new outfit and nearly finished. she had the outfit placed on a stand that was shaped to her size.
Her maid servants where stunned to see that a piece of clothes from this morning had transformed into an elegant outfit.
Marquis Zheng Rong frowned, walking into this smaller courtyard that His second wife had moved into, he noticed all the small unique things in it, that had an air of elegance. And remembered this his Second Wife would normally make her own things.
When Rachel came to this world she started out as a baby and grew up from their, it was also known in the general's household that she had loved to make blankets outfits and all sorts of things, this took to the extreme due to the number of poison incidents she had in her younger years.

Yes, Rachel was somewhat traumatized by this and had developed a dislike her certain things, made her action a tad bit more careful.
When she married over the Marquis Zheng Rong who was fifteen at the time never touched due to the tensions happening the capital between his cousin family and his maternal family. Which was fine with Rachel who originally planned not to interfere if his bed servants and concubines didn't mess with her first.
So, she got rid of them smartly, but this led the Marquis to make false opinions about her. Since, it kept him away from her she never corrected them and just aloud it to get worse. The first time he had even took a step into her courtyard it was for Wei Cui, when she had been slapped by Rachel.
Yes, Marquis Zheng Rong had never once touched Rachel much to the distress of his mother. Nor had ne ever truly looked at her.
Rachel was always this way even her former courtyard had items she made; her move was easier since most of the notable ones where portable.
"I had heard that the first Madam was sending you here tonight, but the Madam didn't actually believe you would come." Rachel said with a dull expression as she put her finis.h.i.+ng touches as she took a step back and then turned to her maid servants. "Put this away for this Me, I'll wear it tomorrow to se how it feels."
She turned around towards her home-made tea set and started to pour some tea into a cup. As she sat on one of her homemade chairs. "You look surprised"
Marquis Zheng Rong walked over and took a seat opposite of her. She showed curtesy by pouring him a cup. He realized the chair he was in cus.h.i.+oned him and instantly made him feel relaxed. He turned his gaze towards the beautiful women dressed in white a light shade of purple.
The Capital had rumors of Xie Hanying's love for him being absolutely crazy about him, but now seeing her stoic and dull expression that she usually had towards everyone including himself. It made him wonder, he had never seen her smile even once.
"Marquis will you be staying for the night or is it just a visit." Her tone soft without emotion.
"Just for a visit."
"Is that so, then may I suggest something to you"
"What is it"
"Concubine Gao Wei, if the Madam has asked you to spend a night. She would be a better choice for you. It can't be blamed if you found me revolting for the night."
"…."
Rachel didn't like this the longer they where alone the more the Marquis Zheng Rong will catch one, she had used plenty of tricks to keep the Marquis from seeing past the illusion cast. A moment later the Marquis left, as Rachel bid him farewell properly. She quickly went to her window and closed it, blowing out the candles she went to sleep comfortably.
Where her knew Outfit, Rachel had decided next she would devote herself to music for this week, she had always wanted to use a harp and sing my heart will go on with it.
She was disappointed to find out that her zither was no more, but she didn't complain about it. Also, it seemed that Wei Cui had no complaints about the switch last night. And it looked like Marquis Zheng Rong really tumbled together with Concubine Gao Wei, the women were blooming and making fun of Rachel while at it.
In the novel of this world Concubine Gao Wei had conceived around this time casing an even bigger rift between the leads, the first was caused by the old Madam appearance.
Rachel had long gotten her two of her maid's servants to go to a shop and bring her some more wood, and other items. She was going to make the harp; she was currently outside in a pavilion close to her quarters she had used charcoal and some paper to make plans for the harp's shape, texture, and size.
"ah! Older Sister" Said the Familiar voice of Wei Cui and her maid servant that was still glaring at her.
