Chapter 217 – Peach Appreciation
by Salted Fish — When they returned to the palace late at night, Xu Chun washed up and returned to the bedroom, only to find Xie Yi leaning against the pillow on the bed, his eyes lowered in contemplation while wearing a plain silk robe. It was unclear what he was looking at. The candlelight illuminated his skin, which gleamed like jade amidst the light silk, his beautiful face shining with a gentle radiance. Xu Chun quickly approached him, asking, "Brother Jiu, what are you looking at?" As he spoke, he had already rubbed…

Chapter 216 – Not Greedy
by Salted Fish — Xie Yi picked up an apricot from the table and handed it to him. "Eat an apricot then. With such a large business, involving so many people, and goods traveling through so many places, it would be strange if there wasn't any corruption or smuggling. You see, even during the previous dynasty, skinning corrupt officials alive didn't deter others. Human greed knows no bounds; it can't be eliminated, only strictly managed." Xu Chun took the apricot and bit into it fiercely. After thinking about it, he…

Chapter 215 – Irritated
by Salted Fish — Xie Yi only nibbled on a few slices of roasted camel hump before stopping, then had some barley porridge. Xu Chun knew he was very restrained with his diet; even if something tasted good, he wouldn't overindulge, let alone these exotic dishes. The Eight Delicacies mostly consisted of strange things—camel humps, monkey lips, monkey brains, etc. During his former days of frivolity and debauchery, he had coincidentally tried them. But for Xie Yi, who was strictly disciplined from a young age, he barely…

Chapter 214 – Camel Hump
by Salted Fish — Zhuang Renshao looked pale as he watched Xu Chun on horseback, waving his whip, a scene reminiscent of that night - the same arrogant and spoiled demeanor, surrounded by a group of ostentatious servants. Under the bright sun, they appeared exceedingly resplendent. Xu Chun asked maliciously, "Your Zhuang family, in order to curry favor, forced your own young zhuangyuan to die in remonstration. Zhuang Zizhan refused, so you attempted to murder him. Zhuang Zizhan, who had received deep grace from the Saint…

Chapter 213 – Sharp Blade
by Salted Fish — Zhuang Renshao had been taking his two nephews to the Jingzhao Prefecture for two consecutive days. Without stopping, they had also sought out Cui Shu. Cui Shu could only personally visit the Jingzhao Prefecture once and speak with the prefectural governor. The Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Jiang Xian was very worried. "We have been searching, but has Cui Sir found any new leads?" Cui Shu had long heard that Jiang Xian was an idiot, yet he had managed to stay in his position as Jingzhao Governor for…

Chapter 212 – Trivial Matters
by Salted Fish — When Xu Chun was having breakfast on the second day, Xie Yi told him about Xie Fei's passing last night. Xu Chun was taken aback. "I even sent people to Jinhai Fortress to invite those two Western missionaries to take a look at him… How did it suddenly worsen?" After saying this, he was indeed saddened, his eyes reddening slightly. "Even though we originally became friends for profit, back when we were in the Imperial Academy, he helped me out quite a bit. He was also full of aspirations, wanting to…

Chapter 211 – Butterfly’s Intentions
by Salted Fish — Xu Chun was startled when he saw Xie Fei. He had arrived at the Shun'an Prefectural Duke's Mansion on time, but he did not meet Su Lin Yu, which was odd. However, the little palace attendants respectfully invited him inside, leading him straight into the inner chambers. Xie Fei leaned against a large bolster pillow. He had clearly changed into grand attire for the guest and combed his hair, but his sickly frame, sunken eyes, and pale complexion belied his efforts. He smiled slightly at Xu Chun and…

Chapter 210 – Hotly Contended
by Salted Fish — "Zhuang Zhuangyuan has been rescued." Xie Yi raised his eyes to look at Qi Luan, who was reporting below him. "And then?" Qi Luan answered honestly, "Later, His Excellency sent me first to report to Your Majesty that these things happened, and that he wouldn't be able to arrive on time tonight. He took a detour to the bookstore and asked Your Majesty not to wait too long." Xie Yi: "…" He glanced at Su Huaibei, who smiled and said, "I'm sure there will be further reports soon. His Excellency…

by Salted Fish — After leaving the residence, Xu Chun didn't return to the Duke's mansion; instead, he headed straight for Bamboo Branch Workshop. Unexpectedly, he found it empty. Liu Shun hung his head and reported, “Our Ninth Master said he had been away from home for too long. Now that his eyesight has improved, he has returned to take care of some family affairs. He'll visit again when he has time in a few days.” Xu Chun glanced at the room where Wu Xingxue's belongings, originally brought by Wu Xingxue and Liu…

Chapter 209 – Escape
by Salted Fish — Zhuang Zhan took the memorial with both hands and read it carefully, his expression calm. "The memorial is excellent, the writing forceful, the reasoning clear. When it is made public tomorrow, it will surely shock the world. But it doesn't quite match my usual style, so I'll need to refine it a bit. Since this is such a glorious matter for our family, I must treat it with due respect. However, since this matter is of great importance, may I ask Uncle, have you informed Grandfather?" Zhuang Renshao…
