The twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month. With the New Year approaching, Lin Hansu had been incredibly busy these past few days. After the major purge in the manor, there was a shortage of staff, and many things required her personal attention. Fortunately, this morning, Granny Xu, who had gone to Central Heaven a few days ago, returned to the Prince's Manor with over forty household servants, allowing Lin Hansu to finally extricate herself from the…-

A quarter of an hour ago, Huang Xiaofei took a stack of white papers from Qi Si, keenly sensing the oddity in his demeanor. As she let the Ghosts pass and followed them towards the pond, she quickly flipped through the papers. Sure enough, a crumpled, handwritten page fell out. “Cheng An, I am Lu Zimo. I want to make a deal with you. If you help me kill Huang Xiaofei, I can transfer the Book of the Dead to you.” Looking at these words written…-

It was noon, lunchtime. Ding Suian was not in a hurry to find Jiang Xuan to retrieve the manuscript; he went to the front yard to eat first. Since the An Squad moved into Diying Garden, their meals have been supplied directly by the Huguai Garden's private kitchen, and the Soldiers' food standards have clearly improved. They never lacked good food like beef and mutton for any meal. Today, they even sent over a roasted deer leg. The entire An…

Great Wu doesn't have Simplified Character Notation! After Ding Suian realized this, he raised his arm and gestured, "Miss Jiang, please come in." He intended to sit down and discuss it in detail. But Jiang Yuan looked up at the empty Halberd Hall, then quietly turned to look back, not seeing her younger brother return, so she remained standing. Her hands were clasped within her sleeves, her head slightly bowed. Her posture was graceful, like a budding…

“Our baby, give me back our baby...” The sharp voice was mixed with gurgling noises, as if the speaker had a mouthful of thick phlegm. The “tap-tap” of footsteps and the “slish-slash” sound of umbilical cords dragging across the ground grew closer, bringing with them a palpable chill. Huang Xiaofei understood Qi Si's actions and pointed at the ladle in his hand with a strange expression: “You call that a Red Frog?” “Close enough, as long as it works.” Qi…

The next morning. Ding Suian stood outside his room, looking towards Huguai Garden. The trace of white light from last night had kept him up for half the night. After some guessing, he thought the problem might lie with Jiang Yuan. According to her, men's Yang energy prevented them from using the 'Flowing Wind and Cloud' melody as a cultivation method. Last night, Ding Suian personally played the zither, and she stood outside the door, listening to half of the Spell…

Outside the door, Jiang Yuan hesitated several times but ultimately couldn't bring herself to leave, not because of the person, but because of the zither music. “May I ask, Young Master, from its title to its Concept, this Spell for Clearing the Heart and Universal Goodness is deeply imbued with Buddhist Zen. Why was it composed by a Daoist?” Squad Leader Ding Sui'an had just said it casually, without much thought, so he retorted, “Does Young Lady understand…

Night, the beginning of the hai hour. Ding Suian skillfully and easily climbed into Huguai Garden. He could clearly feel the silence within the Prince Lanyangs Estate. The estate originally had over two hundred servants, maids, Nannies, and house guards. After Lin Hansu's purge yesterday, those who were sold off were sold, and those who were dismissed were dismissed. Now, including the An Squad guards, only about forty people remained in the estate. With so few…

The twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month. Offering sacrifices to the Kitchen God, also known as Minor New Year. Lanyang Prefecture City was already brimming with New Year cheer, but Prince Lanyangs Estate, having suffered two major mourning events in one month, dared not show any celebratory signs publicly. At noon that day, a package was delivered to the Estate by the post service running between Central Heaven and Lanyang Prefecture. The recipient…

"Brother Sui'an, I was on duty just now, and I didn't see Steward Hou go to Huguai Garden." Hu Jiangjiu scratched his scalp, seemingly guilty and confused about the theft at Huguai Garden. The Soldiers of the An Squad residing in Diying Garden had long since noticed the commotion in the front compound. However, since the Princess did not call them to assist this time, the Soldiers, who were already unskilled in the private conflicts within the…
