Song Wu Sao expects Li Ma will be marrying Yu Di in the soonest possible time.

She said that after the two had married, she will retire and give Tian Xiang Lou to them to run while she looks after their babies.

She really wanted them to tie the knot immediately because she was scared that Li Ma would be recruited to join the army in the borders and would be away for years.

Zhao Yuan Qing had come to Hang Zhou with his guards.  He came incognito.

They were looking at the market town when Zhao Yuan Qing asked his minion what was the difference between the Imperial City and Hang Zhou.

Wang Ji Xian replied that the Imperial City has YaMen (harem) while Hang Zhou has brothels.
