“Young Master, are you saying that Daoist Master Yunxu still recognizes Uncle Hu and Uncle He?” It was the twenty-ninth day of the third month, at the Hour of the Bo. “Yes. Although my father never explicitly stated it, I suspect that Uncle Hu and Uncle He were traveling the world with him long before he joined the army. Later, for reasons unknown, they all joined the army together.” Ding Suian, dressed in his scarlet fifth-rank official robe, stood on the…-

Scatter, scatter, everyone, hurry back and enjoy the feast. After much persuasion from Lin Dafu, the neighbors who were peeking at the excitement from atop the wall finally slid down, still unsatisfied, and returned to their seats outside the alley. Inside the courtyard, Old Ding and Daoist Master Yunxu had already moved into the room. The door was open, and one could see the silhouettes of the two sitting opposite each other, as well as their lips moving as they spoke, yet not a…

The Great Wu has twelve ranks of nobility. The rank of Founding Viscount is the eleventh, which is the second to last. It may seem like nothing, but it represents a class leap from commoner to noble. Furthermore, the imperial court has been intent on reducing titles in recent years, making the granting of titles exceptionally cautious. Ding Suian did not believe that a single memorial from Chen Hong could earn him a title. At the head of the table, Princess…

Night, end of the hai hour. The banquet concluded. Ding Suian did not return to the West Yamen, but instead turned and headed to the Hehuan Cage in the backyard of Zhangtai Willow. Night Contain had received word in advance and knew that this 'colleague' and partner would be staying the night, so she had long since drawn her brows, and put on her Lingbo socks, light gauze robes, and other extremely seductive battle attire. As the saying goes, only by 'deeply…

"Brother, Brother~" In the afternoon, Ding Suian was returning to the West Yamen from the Chamber of Embracing Simplicity teahouse. Just as he reached the intersection of Liuhe Street, he heard a few low calls. He turned his head and saw that it was none other than that kid, Jiang Xuan, standing sneakily at the corner. "Why are you here, Ah Xuan?" "Brother, what happened to your mouth?" The two spoke almost in unison. "Oh, my mouth?" Ding…

March 23rd. A private room on the second floor of the Chamber of Embracing Simplicity teahouse. Xu Jiuxi held the teapot with her slender hand, pouring a clear stream of water into the white porcelain cup. The fragrance of tea wafted out with the swirling steam. She glanced at Ding Suian, who was sitting opposite her, her peach-blossom eyes flushed with crimson at the corners, and she said with a playful, resentful pout: "Head Ding has become so hard to invite these…

The carriage rattled as it returned home, the streetlights flickering in, making the interior of the carriage light and dark by turns. Lin Fuyao wept silently, and Jiang Yuan saw it, but she did not comfort or coax her as she usually did. Tonight, she had not wanted to come, but her mother had pestered and cajoled her into going to the Prince Leyang's estate. During the banquet, Lin Fuyao acted almost like a salesperson, dragging her around to introduce her to one…

“General!” “I'm not making this move, step back.” At the hour of the Dog, under the camphor tree in the night, Ding Suian took back the chess piece he had been checkmated with from Sun Tiewu for the Nth time. “The world is like a chessboard. In chess, you can regret your moves, but if you take a wrong step in life, there's no chance to take it back.” Sun Tiewu lectured in a tone full of pretension. He didn't care about Ding Suian taking back his…

"Sima, the confession of Hou Dexiao has been recorded." Former Winged Tiger Army Deputy Dutou Hu Yingfu strode into the office. "So fast?" Ding Suian, behind the large desk, looked up and asked in surprise. Hu Yingfu chuckled, "When it comes to interrogation, where else in the world is more professional than the West Yamen? He didn't even last a cup of tea's time before Hou Dexiao confessed to everything, even watching his aunt bathe when he was a…
