"No one has one wife, even if there were, she would be considered strange by the people of the kingdom," he added.

Hearing this, Xue Ning gaped, and so did Ju Xian. while Fu Xie Lan, the girl felt normal, because in her previous life sometimes she also met a man who had more than one wife or commonly referred to as polygamy.

​​

"So, how many wives do you have?" Xue Ning asked curiously.

"Hahaha, unfortunately, I fall into the category of a freak," Grandpa Xin replied.

"Didn't Grandpa hear anything else besides the eldest daughter of the Zu kingdom?" asked Fu Xie Lan changing the subject.

Grandpa Xin shook his head then heaved a rough sigh.

"Have you eaten?" asked grandfather Xin turning to the four people.

Wan Lie, Ju Xian, and Xue Ning nodded almost simultaneously, while Fu Xie Lan didn't give any response.

Grandpa Xin then stood up, walking into his hut. Only a few minutes and he came back out with a few pieces of meat that seemed to have been grilled about an hour ago.

"Eat it while it's still warm, this is all I can give you," he said handing the piece of meat and sat back down to his original position.

"Grandpa have you eaten?" asked Fu Xie Lan.

"Don't mind me, eat. The temperature in the forest will get colder at night, you will feel uncomfortable if you starve in the middle of the night," Grandpa Xin replied. That meat was his dinner, but he couldn't bear to let the children starve. Let him who is old succumb to the young.

We're not hungry, Grandpa. Let grandpa eat first,'' said Fu Xie Lan.

"Then let's eat together," said Grandpa Xin.

They all then ate the piece of meat without making a sound. although the meat was small and not filling at all, for Grandpa Xin, this was his first memorable dinner for the past five years.

For some reason, he felt a little touched, until the end of his life he would not forget everything that happened tonight.

"If I may know, why did you visit the royal city?" asked grandfather Xin who finished his meal.

Fu Xie Lan looked up, there was a glimmer of fire in her eyes, looking at Grandpa Xin with a smile behind her mask.

"We want to find a decent job, Grandpa," Fu Xie Lan replied.

Grandpa Xin seemed to nod at the girl's answer.

"What kind of job do you want?" Grandpa Xin then asked.

"I don't know, Grandpa. We haven't thought about it, do you have any recommendations, Grandpa?" Fu Xie Lan asked as politely as possible.

"Hmm, If you want an answer from me, I'm afraid it won't satisfy your heart."

It's okay, Grandpa. We can think about it later."

"If you want money, I suggest you don't work for anyone. You would better more likely to hunt and sell your prey to the market. it's more profitable," Grandpa Xin chuckled.

"But if you are looking for status, there are many jobs in the royal city that are very suitable for you, especially when you are still very young," he added.

"But, I doubt you can get moreover are from a very remote village, far from the royal city," continued Grandpa Xin again.

"Why would Grandpa say such a thing?" Xue Ning asked curiously.

"Working with other people is tantamount to being their slave, even though the wages are high but you will not have any freedom and will continue to be tied to the people who employ you... Besides that, most of the residents of the royal city don't give the slightest glance to those who are not from the royal city, like you guys. They always think of themselves as better than people from the countryside," Grandpa Xin explained at length.

"Not only that, even if you come from within a working city, if you're not of noble descent, then it's the same. They will still look down on you," he continued.

Fu Xie Lan didn't show any expression when she heard Grandpa Xin's words. The phenomenon that occurs in society in the human race in this world is not much different from the previous life, where there are castes that distinguish the status of each person.

"But, back to you guys, I just giving you a little overview of the royal city of Zu, may I tell you something," said Grandpa Xin.

"What is it, Grandpa?" Xue Ning asked.

"Don't look for trouble with the nobles, if you can avoid it, you should avoid it. They will not hesitate to kill others if someone makes a mistake, even if it is only an accident."

"Ah, one more thing, don't even think about setting foot in the palace," he continued.

"What's wrong with the palace?" asked Fu Xie Lan.

"There have been many rumors circulating, that some people who are servants, eunuchs, and even ladies-in-waiting often disappear without a trace," Grandpa Xin replied.

"If the palace opens registration to fill the maid position, I suggest that you don't follow it, the wage is great but the dangers are also great. There's still no word on how those people disappeared, if I'm not mistaken, registration opens twice a year."

"Didn't the palace explain about this incident, Grandpa?" asked Fu Xie Lan.

"I mean, aren't they trying to figure out why the maids disappeared?" added the girl again. This had never existed in the memory of the owner of the body she was in, either something like this had not happened before the catastrophe, or she was simply too young to know about such matters. She doesn't know.

"Regarding that, I've heard that the palace is conducting a large-scale investigation. But the result is nothing, and it's always been like that," replied Grandpa Xin exhaling harshly. Even though Grandpa Xin wasn't a native of the royal city, living in a small village didn't mean he wasn't aware of such happenings, he often visited the city and even went to the palace on business, so he could know things like that.

"Does Grandpa know, since when did something like that happen?" asked Fu Xie Lan curiously.

"You mean the incident regarding the disappearance of the maids?"

Fu Xie Lan nodded.

A sigh came from Grandpa Xin's lips, "Not long after the King's main concubine took the place of the previous queen," he replied.

Fu Xie Lan who heard Grandpa Xin's words, was silent, rooted to the spot. Is there something she missed? During her stay or rather tortured in an old hut not far from the palace, she had never heard the guards talk about a large-scale investigation.

Were the guards not allowed to discuss it or did the investigation never take place? She doesn't know. Fu Xie Lan was confused.
