“I’ve long known that you’re from the Hua tribe, but I didn’t mind it. Mei Changsu looked gently at her and smiled. I never expected it to turn out that way….I….I….”Īt this point, Gong Yu was trying so eagerly to explain that she stumbled and couldn’t carry on. When I suggested the prisoner exchange at Sky Prison, I sincerely wanted to help Chief to lighten your worries. Furthermore, Chief saved my life….in this lifetime, Gong Yu will not do anything that will cause Chief any harm. When I was born, the Hua nation had long ceased to exist. “But I have absolutely no ties withPrincess Xuanji. “I….I’m also from the Hua tribe….” Gong Yu drew in a deep breath, clenched her jaw and lowered her head. In a trembling voice, she said, “Chief, please….forgive me….” “Is there something you want to say to me?” Mei Changsu asked her gently as he waited for her to approach him.īoth of Gong Yu’s hands were twisted tightly around the muslin sash around her waist, so tightly that it wasn’t until her fingers were pale and bloodless that she remembered to kneel down. At the door, he smiled encouragingly at Gong Yu who was slowly entering the room with her head lowered. Tomorrow we’ll be making tofu, so you can look forward to eating it.” With these words, he sauntered out. Lin Chen got up and stretched his body, saying tiredly, “Last night I had a bean picking competition with Fei Liu so I didn’t get enough sleep and have to make up for it. Mei Changsu fixed his gaze on the ochre frame of the green muslin window screen, remaining silent for a long while before suddenly saying, “Why are you standing outside? Come in.” I wonder if we’ll ever root them all out.” They’re all over the place like scattered sand. Princess Xuanji’s former subordinates are really giving us a headache. “Is it yet another Hua tribe woman hiding him?” asked Mei Changsu thoughtfully. He may have been able to escape from Sky Prison but he won’t be able to escape from my family’s storehouse.” I’ve locked Xia Jiang up in one of my storehouses. Lin Chen laughed and raised a hand in surrender. “Lin Chen….” said Mei Changsu dangerously.

They’re an ethnic group, plus “nation” is no longer relevant since their country had been eliminated **I’ve decided at this point to replace “Hua nation” with “Hua tribe”. *literal translation I’ve kept because it just seemed so apt! I’m going to include her in the list next year….” What’s key is that there was a very beautiful young nun in the nunnery. Let me tell you, apprehending Xia Jiang was a small matter. I finally found him in a Buddhist nunnery. Narrowing it down to these few, it wasn’t difficult to investigate further. “There are only three categories of people who would shelter Xia Jiang: the Hua tribe**, former spies of the Xuanjing Bureau and those people he’s got a hold over. “Alright, now that I’ve received payment, I’ll answer you,” said Lin Chen as he very satisfactorily stashed the banknotes away into his bosom*. *sidenote: Fei Liu’s leaving is described as “floated gracefully out” but it’s too strange a phrase in English

He’s a bad influence on children.”įei Liu was in full agreement with the “unbearable” description, and left with Zhen Ping to play outside. “Fei Liu, let’s go out,” Zhen Ping beckoned to the youth. Since Chief Su is so rich and insist on giving me a thousand, it would be impolite for me to refuse.” Then he laughed and said, “I actually charge fifty taels per question. Lin Chen gleefully took the bank notes from Zhen Ping’s hands, unfolding them to verify their authenticity. He charges five hundred taels per question, so two questions would be one thousand….” “Lang Ya Pavillion charges people for answering their questions.
“Give them to him,” said Mei Changsu, nudging his chin in Lin Chen’s direction. Shortly after, Zhen Ping pushed open the door and entered, carrying what looked like brand new banknotes in his hands. “Zhen Ping!” Mei Changsu shot Lin Chen an exasperated glance and called out loudly, “Bring in banknotes worth one thousand taels of silver!”Ī sound of agreement came from outside. Lin Chen extended his hand, palm up and gestured in a beckoning manner. “Why don’t you tell me how you caught him? Where is he now?” “Stop bullying Fei Liu,” said Mei Changsu as he reached out to tug him over. “It’s your Su gege who guessed it right the first time and not you, so why are you so pleased with yourself?”
Lin Chen’s face was unsmiling, and he said very sulkily, “Didn’t I give you three guesses?”īy their side, Fei Liu said delightedly, “Once!” In a faltering voice, he said, “Did you catch Xia Jiang?” Mei Changsu stared fixedly at his overtly smiling eyes, and his heart suddenly skipped a bit.
