The next day, Tong Sanlang left the Palace to find Ya Wuxia, and Qiao Xiaomai went to find Ailiusa.
Ailiusa was poor and couldn't afford to buy playing cards or Mahjong; she came over to deliver these two items.
Sitting in Ailiusa's small courtyard, she listened as Ailiusa shared her troubles, "Qinglian originally said he would hold a martial arts competition to find a husband, but yesterday I heard from him and his sister that they are not looking for a spouse anymore and will return to Yuchi Country in a few days."
"If they and his sister go back, what am I to do? I can't beat them on my own; how can I avenge my father?"
As she spoke about her father who had died tragically and her tribespeople who had been captured and enslaved, tears reddened Ailiusa's eyes.
Qiao Xiaomai pursed her lips and said, "You should go to the Palace to seek the retired Emperor; His Majesty will uphold justice for you."
