Midnight. It was time for the shift change. Ding Suian returned to the West Courtyard with Chest Hair and Hu Jiangjiu. Before heading to the backyard alone, Ding Suian pulled out a handful of sachets from his 懷裡 and tossed them to everyone, one by one. “Here, sachets for safety. I queued for an hour at Shouzheng Temple to get them. They’ve been blessed, one for each of you!” Hu Jiangjiu, having never owned such a thing…-

Two quarters past midnight, the dew was heavy and the wind was cold. Ding Suian had just returned to the Prince Lanyangs Estate's West Courtyard when he heard that the Princess Consort had summoned him. Thinking something had gone wrong during his brief absence, he rushed to Chengxi Hall. But upon arriving, he saw Chest Hair and the others outside the hall were as usual. Inside the hall, Lin Hansu sat quietly on a prayer mat, burning paper…

Ding Suian wasn't foolish; it was precisely because he saw the danger that he sought out Ruan Guofan. An honored noble who had been entrenched in Lanyang for nearly fifty years, even without military power, was still not to be underestimated. “That’s why this junior came to Uncle for help.” “First, tell me, why did you hide the Princess Consort of Lanyang?” Ruan Guofan slowly sipped his tea, as if deliberately waiting to see Ding Suian make a…

Lanyang Prefecture City is located on the north bank of the Zhebei River. Going north from here are the Four States North of the River, which produce armor, furs, and medicinal herbs, while going south are the seven densely populated, prosperous, and wealthy states South of the River. Traveling west upstream leads to Kuizhou, which is rich in fine salt, and traveling east along the canal reaches Central Heaven City, the Imperial Capital of Great Wu. It is often called the Key…

"Hehehe, Old Wang, how are you planning to spend the reward money?" In the West Courtyard, Chest Hair held two ‘Ten Taels’ silver notes from the Lin Family's silver shop, examining them repeatedly, carefully smoothing out every tiny crease. "I'll save it to marry a wife. I'm twenty-five and still don't have a wife. My old mother nags me all day long." "What's so good about marrying a wife? It's better to go to the brothel and find a Jie'er. Jie'er speak nicely,…

Chengxi Hall. Upon learning that the Princess Consort had petitioned to be spared from accompanying her husband in death and had then saved them, the maids and Nannies cried in a heap again, kneeling and kowtowing in a chaotic mess. Lin Hansu sat upright in the main seat, her expression calm, dignified, and poised. This demeanor was completely different from the way she had been shrinking under the bed, trembling with suppressed tears, the night before last. These people were originally…

The "Wu Law" records that those who are not Soldiers are forbidden from practicing martial arts. In other words, the military monopolized the legal means for Martial Artists to Cultivate. Of course, this decree was seen by bandits and powerful noble families the same way they view a woman's safe period. Utterly useless. The Martial Artist Cultivation system is divided into six Realms. The sixth Realm is Body Refining, which involves tempering…

The second quarter of the Chen hour (9:30 AM). Steward Hou, Second Master Du, and Third Master Du led dozens of household servants, rushing aggressively into the West Courtyard. The Dragon Guard Army Soldiers who were eating breakfast were caught off guard and instantly scattered. Second Master Du led several household servants to search the houses in the front yard, while Steward Hou took the main group and swarmed into the back yard. Presumably,…

November 22nd. Ding Suian spent the most anxious and prolonged day of his life. He watched helplessly as the last trace of light outside the paper window diluted into the night, but the decree he had been hoping for never arrived. As the sky turned completely dark, Hansu gradually lost heart. The accumulated fear and anxiety from the day and night, coupled with the consequences of being rained on and freezing, surged forth all at once. At hai hour that night, Lin…

Three quarters past the chou hour. In the dead of the latter half of the night, white banners fluttering in the bitter wind and cold rain rustled softly. The inner residence of the Prince's Estate was still brightly lit. Third Master Du braved the rain and arrived at Mianze Pavilion in the inner residence. As soon as he entered, he saw his older brother, Second Master Du, sitting in the main seat with a sullen expression, while Steward Hou stood bent over to the…
