2.6) This specific text has much to do with how noble the lady was and the respect that nobles of the day where shown. What could get a servant killed or imprisoned seems to get a noble married. we see this with the son who gets caught (as a slave) making love to this guys daughter behind her back and is imprisoned. this seems to be generally accepted until it is revealed that he is a noble, now things change and we see him returned to glory. the King now, instead of killing the guy doing his daughter, is gaining a new son-in-law and the "wild-woman" mother is also returned to her former glory.
2.7) we never really hear that it was the woman who was doing the act, it was always the guy tricking her into making love. either that or it is lust that guides her unwillingly to her fate, she seemed so virtuous until her first time. After that she seemed to sleep with just about all the nobles she came across, she even sleeps with non-nobles and thinks nothing of it. The message here may be that by possibly hiding your wrongdoing you might live happily ever after. Although this woman lived for so long in times of great misfortune she lies about having sex and gets to be returned to her former glory and live forever in happiness.
