Banda said this happily while feeding Li Yila various delicious snacks.

When they were almost done with the snacks, Banda suddenly said, "Mom, please go to the guest room to see my little sister."

"She is timid and has never seen the world. She must be scared to be alone in a strange palace."

Li Yila nodded with a smile. She had never seen her son interested in eating unexpected things. It seemed that her son was really interested in that woman.

"Even if you don't tell me, I will go and see how good that Han woman is."

"Hehe, anyway, I'm a good little sister." Banda scratched his head embarrassedly.

Li Yila brought some food into the guest room. There were two maids guarding the door. Lin Shuangshuang was locked in the guest room.

"Open the door."

Li Yila is the young prince's wet nurse, and her words are very influential in the palace.

"Yes."

Inside the house, Lin Shuangshuang sat up straight and cautiously. Although she was not afraid, she still had to be more vigilant than before when she was in an unfamiliar place.

The door was pushed open, and Lin Shuangshuang stood up subconsciously, pretending to be a little frightened.

Li Yila was stunned when she saw Lin Shuangshuang for the first time. This girl was so pretty. No wonder her son liked her so much.

She also likes this pretty girl!

"Don't be afraid, girl. I am Banda's mother. He asked me to bring you some food."

"Mother?" Lin Shuangshuang pretended to be confused.

Li Yila smiled kindly: "That's what your Han Chinese mother meant."

Lin Shuangshuang was obviously relieved when she heard her explanation, and she shyly said, "Hello, grandma."

Seeing her well-behaved and shy appearance, Li Yila smiled even more and grabbed Lin Shuangshuang's hand: "Sit down quickly, we Jin people don't have so many etiquette."

"Are you tired from the journey?"

"Eat quickly, this is a delicacy unique to our Jin Kingdom."

"Hand-pulled lamb, yogurt lumps, and milk skin..." Li Yila enthusiastically introduced her to the local specialties.

Lin Shuangshuang shook her head slightly, said that she had just eaten on the street, and then expressed her thanks.

Li Yila knew this, because her son took her to visit Jindu City before returning home.

Li Yila chatted with Lin Shuangshuang for a long time, all about family matters, and even asked her if she was interested in Banda.

Only then did Lin Shuangshuang realize that the old lady wanted to match her up with Banda.

But doesn’t she know that she is the woman who will be presented to the national teacher?

Lin Shuangshuang pretended not to understand, so Li Yila made it clear and told her not to be afraid.

If you work hard for the prince, he won't kill innocent people.

She also said that once the mission was completed, she would ask the prince to marry her to Banda.

Lin Shuangshuang pretended to be shocked: "Grandma, how can a married woman marry again?"

"Why not? We Jin people don't care about that. Some of us have been served by three generations of our family."

"Don't worry, Banda won't dislike you. As long as you are willing to live a good life with Banda, grandma will treat you well."

"Grandma can see that Banda is interested in you. I know my son well. Otherwise, he, a rough and careless man, wouldn't care about you so much."

Lin Shuangshuang seemed a little hesitant and asked, "Grandma, do you really not care about women's chastity here?"

"It's not that I don't care. As a woman, I still have to be a bit more virtuous. I can't be involved with several men at the same time."

"But if a man dies or gets divorced, you can still remarry and no one will say anything."

"Anyway, don't worry. If you are willing to marry Banda in the future, grandma will ask the prince to make the decision."

"If Banda dares to dislike you, I will break her legs."

Lin Shuangshuang nodded, but seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Li Yila took her hand and asked kindly, "If you have anything else to ask, just ask. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

"Grandma, I heard from Brother Bandar that a teaching grandma will come to teach me the rules and... that kind of thing."

"Yeah, they're just some basic rules and ways to serve a man. There's nothing to be shy about."

"That...that..."

"What else do you want to ask?"

Lin Shuangshuang twisted her sleeves with her hands, looking embarrassed to say, "Will the teaching grandma...will she verify my identity?"

Li Yila was stunned for a moment, then she understood what Lin Shuangshuang meant.

"Of course we have to test it. We Jin people don't care about these things, but the national teacher is not a Jin person. He cares more about the chastity of women."

"So the girl you send to him had better be a virgin, so he won't find the wrong one."

"But don't worry, the teaching grandma is very experienced, she will know after just one touch, and she won't embarrass you too much."

Lin Shuangshuang bit her lip and suddenly burst into tears. Li Yila was a little confused.

We were talking nicely, why did he suddenly start crying?

"What's wrong? Why are you crying for no reason?"

"Grandma, if I'm not a virgin, will the young prince kill me?"

"This...you...you have never been married?"

Lin Shuangshuang cried even more sadly: "I have never been married, but... but when I was a child, I accidentally fell off a cliff while collecting herbs in the mountains, and a lot of blood came out of my pants."

"My mother...my mother said...she said that I lost my virginity and she was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find a husband in the future."

"When I was little, I didn't know what losing my virginity meant. When I grew up, I heard a married girl talking about that. She said she bled a lot during her wedding night. Only then did I realize that I was no longer a virgin."

"That's why my mother wanted to marry me to the idiot from the Wang family."

"Firstly, the betrothal gift from the Wang family is large, which can be used as retirement money for my parents."

"Secondly, fools are easy to fool. I can just cut my finger and get some blood during the wedding night and I'll be able to fool them."

"Thirdly, my bad reputation will not delay my sisters' marriages."

"We value chastity very much. If the rumor spreads that I have lost my virginity, the villagers will think that my cousins ​​are also immoral."

Seeing her crying so sadly, Li Yila felt a little distressed and sad, and was even more dissatisfied with the various rules of the Dayu Dynasty that treated women harshly.

Why can men have three wives and four concubines, but women must be faithful to one man?

Even if you get hurt accidentally, you have to worry about spreading a bad reputation and even affecting your sisters at home.

It's totally inhumane and unreasonable.

Li Yila patted her hands gently and said, "Don't worry, grandma will cover this up for you."

"The tutor in the mansion is familiar with me, and I can cover it up with some money."

"It's just that now that you've gone to the Imperial Master's Mansion, whether you can continue to cover up the past depends on you."

"But you don't have to worry too much. The Imperial Master is paralyzed and can barely move. You'll have to take the initiative for that kind of thing. You might even need some medicine."

"So as long as you're smart, you can still cover up that kind of thing."
