Chapter 35 – In the Flower Garden

“What’s wrong?” An Yao asked An Ji.

An Ji raised his head and said with some discomfort: “I may have crashed the scene of the crime…”

An Yao looked apprehensive and quickly took him to the commissioner of the police. ​

No matter which way you looked at it, this happened at a very bad time. In addition to this event being the empress’s birthday party, today was also a very important diplomatic event between the Empire and the Republic.

Over the past week, the embassy and the imperial officials had been arguing fiercely, and they planned to have a dinner today to bring the entire diplomatic event to a perfect conclusion.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

But unexpectedly, at this critical moment, such an unseemly thing happened.

The crime scene had already been cordoned off, and the hard-earned vacation went to waste. The investigators, dressed in their luxurious clothes, squatted on the ground and worked overtime to collect evidence from the scene.

At the same time, in a reception room next to the banquet hall, an outstanding-looking alpha was sitting before a table. His blond hair was tied neatly behind his head. He wore white gloves and a police uniform. He was questioning all the alphas and betas that have been through the garden. This was Police Commissioner Yu Zhengruan. ​

“Is there something the matter?” Upon noticing movement at the door, Yu Zhengruan’s sharp gaze fell on them.

An Ji relayed the situation to him word for word.

The latter was silent for a moment after listening, and then waved his hand without changing his expression: “I understand.”

Before leaving, An Ji hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help but ask: “How is the condition of the victim?”

Yu Zhengruan raised his eyes and glanced at An Ji. He had a typical Caucasian appearance, blond hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. At the moment, he was sitting on a chair and looking at them with a frigid gaze that did not contain a single trace of warmth. It was like he was sizing up a criminal.

Just when An Ji thought he wouldn’t answer, Yu Zhengruan suddenly said: “He has been sent to the hospital. His parents are with him. His life is not in danger at the moment.”

This could be considered a blessing among the misfortune. An Ji breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to leave, the compartment behind him opened, and he saw a very tall young man being frog-marched out. He was wearing transparent handcuffs on his hands, and he seemed to be extremely disgusted by the treatment he was receiving. He glared at Yu Zhengruan with an angry look on his face.

“An Can?” An Ji stopped, a bad feeling rising in his heart, “Why are you here?”

An Can’s head whipped up and a bit of panic entered his cold gaze. He subconsciously wanted to hide the handcuffs, but the escorting policeman mistakenly thought he was trying to escape and held his body firmly down. ​

“Let me go!” An Can growled, the veins on his forehead bulged, and the muscles under his suit exploded with terrible strength, throwing the two strong policemen away in an instant.

Just as he was about to go over to An Ji, a gust of palm wind came from behind him.

“Don’t move!” The strong spiritual power spread instantly, and Yu Zhengruan pressed An Can down on the table with a palm. ​

The young police commissioner looked lean and frail, but he was incredibly strong. An Can was pushed down on the table by his slap, and it felt like a huge mountain had fallen on his shoulders. An intense unimaginable fear struck him instantly.

An Can pressed his cheek tightly against the table and looked at Yu Zhengruan angrily, like an indignant beast. ​

“What’s going on?” An Ji hurried over. While helping An Can up, he asked, “Is there some kind of misunderstanding?”

Yu Zhengruan glanced at his hand that was easily pushed away, then at the outstanding-looking omega, and slowly narrowed his eyes: “Do you know this suspect?”

“He is my younger brother.”

“Then the credibility of your testimony is open to question.”

An Ji frowned: “What do you mean?”

“I cannot reveal the progress of the case, please leave.” Yu Zhengruan clapped his hands and motioned to the two panting policemen to take An Can. Seeing that An Ji was still standing there, he added slowly, “The police station is not a place for you delicate omegas to stay.”

“You have arrested the wrong person.” However, the “delicate” omega grabbed the police commissioner’s wrist. An Ji looked straight into Yu Zhengruan’s ice-blue eyes. The veins in his hand was bulging out from the force of his grip.

Chapter 100 – Mutual Understanding

Duan Shu Tong and Xi Duan were both trying to create an even cozier atmosphere between the two of them. To that end, conversing was the fastest and most effective method.

“Are you spending the Mid-Autumn Festival with Xi Yu?” Duan Shu Tong asked.

Xi Duan nodded, “En.”

Duan Shu Tong then asked, “Did you buy him a present?”

Xi Duan was a little uncomfortable. “I have to buy [him] a present?” Speaking about this topic, it seemed like he really hadn’t gotten Xi Yu many gifts.

It was the Xi family’s style to be like this. As a child and up until now, Xi Duan had never received any gifts from his elders, so he never thought of buying gifts for Xi Yu.

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

When Duan Shu Tong saw the expression on Xi Duan’s face, he knew what it was about. In fact, there were times when children were happy to receive gifts, not because of the gift itself, but because receiving a gift made them feel loved.

“The two of you haven’t seen each other for so long. If you bring a present with you when you get back, he should be very happy.”

Xi Duan open-mindedly accepted Duan Shu Tong’s guidance and he even conscientiously asked for advice, “Then what kind of present should I give him?”

“Try to think about what you liked when you are his age.” While saying this, Duan Shu Tong searched on his phone for: what gifts do teenage boys like.

Like a straight man* Xi Duan responded, “I didn’t have anything I liked.”

[*T/N: 直男 zhi nan – “straight man,” can be used in the literal sense for a man’s sexual orientation, but nowadays it mostly refers to a man who is too rational and inflexible, and don’t know how to read a woman’s mind, or in other words, it’s the stereotype of a clueless man.]

Duan Shu Tong: “…” That’s right. Xi Duan was struggling through such a difficult time back then. When would he have the free time to consider something like what he liked?

Duan Shu Tong’s heart was aching for Xi Duan again.

“Then do you have something that you like right now?” He asked.

Xi Duan looked at him silently and said nothing.

The man’s eyes did not seem as sharp as they usually were. His thick and long eyelashes drooped slightly, making him appear innocent and pitiful.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Duan Shu Tong thought to himself when you like someone your rose-tinted lenses towards them was really too powerful.

He quickly changed the subject, “Why don’t you ask Uncle Sun what Xi Yu likes.”

Xi Duan was often away from home and didn’t get to spend much time with Xi Yu, so it did seem like he didn’t care for Xi Yu. There was no point in arguing about this. But from now on, he could slowly make up for past negligence.

Xi Duan nodded and sent Uncle Sun a text message.

Uncle Sun very happily replied: The young master liked to play basketball. The basketball that he bought before is old now. And since starting school again, he has been very studious, so he has not gone out to buy a new one.

Uncle Sun painted a very clear path without outright saying it. He was really impressive!

Duan Shu Tong complimented Uncle Sun in his heart and said, “When we get to Yan City, I’ll go with you to buy a basketball.”

The all-powerful President Xi, who usually had to manage all sorts of things, did not think that there was anything wrong with this. He replied without any doubt or hesitation, “Okay.”

When the train arrived in Yan City, Xi Duan went over to the girl who had changed seats with him to help her take down her luggage. Then he came back to rendezvous with Duan Shu Tong.

The aisle in the train was narrow, so they could only walk in a single file, following the flow of people out of the train. Every so often, Duan Shu Tong would look back, smile, and talk to Xi Duan. The man responded back gently each time.

From across the crowd, the girl who changed seats with Xi Duan could not help but to snap a photo on her cell phone. After getting off the train, she excitedly sent the picture to her class’s group chat. She said excitedly, “I saw two handsome men on the high-speed rail!”

“I didn’t believe it at first, but after opening the photo I received a pleasant surprise, awsl*.”

[*T/N: Awsl is an internet buzzword, a pinyin acronym for “啊我死了” (ah I’m dead), commonly used to describe the excitement of seeing something cute.]

“O. M. G. So handsome! The two of them are completely different types, but they both look so good!”

“So… so lovely…”

“Hey, why does he seem a little familiar? Hey sisters, you’re all using Spring Flower No. 1. You really don’t think something is familiar?”

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

After the girl finished speaking, she posted a photo of a young man on a bicycle to the group chat.

The group chat froze.

The girl who changed seats with Xi Duan dug through her old memories. She thought back to how she went with the flow and talked bad about the Spring and Autumn Hall. After the Spring and Autumn Hall’s reputation went up, she became a die-hard fan of Big Shot* Duan. It’s not that she has never seen this picture before, but the real person was truly a hundred times more handsome than the one in the photo!

[*T/N: 大佬 – big shot; as in someone that is leading a field or group]

She sighed in regret. She actually didn’t recognize Duan Shu Tong from start to finish!

The group chat picked up again.

“I didn’t expect such a big shot to be taking the high-speed rail. Moreover, it’s a second-class seat.”

The girl who changed seats with Xi Duan shared what happened on the train. She told her classmates how she exchanged seats with one of them and how the man helped her with her luggage. Finally she concluded her statement with: “Ahhhhhhhh, Big Shot Duan and his friend are both so polite. I’m making an announcement. From today on, I am his die-hard fan. No regrets for life!”

Unexpectedly, someone posted this photo on the Internet and caused a heated discussion to rise up.

The author has something to say:

There are some things that you don’t need to say for other people to know.

Chapter 121 – You Have Another Person’s Scent On Your Body

Qiu Jin could not figure out what Jiang Ming’s mode of operation was right now. Between bettering his relations with Xiang Xi or avoiding potential danger, Qiu Jin didn’t even have to think about it, he directly chose the latter option.

Unexpectedly, he didn’t take the initiative to provoke Jiang Ming, but the other man came looking for him instead.

After successfully avoiding Xiang Xi, Qiu Jin was waylaid by the screenwriter Guan Yuquan for a while. The two were just getting to an exciting part in their conversation when they saw Jiang Ming coming over with a wine glass in hand.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Qiu Jin wanted to avoid the other man, but Guan Yuquan had already gone up to the other man to greet him, “Jiang-laoshi.”

Qiu Jin turned around awkwardly and also greeted, “Hello, Jiang-laoshi.”

Jiang Ming stood there with a neat suit and a warm smile: “What are you talking about?”

Qiu Jin replied, “Nothing much, just casually chatting.”

Guan Yuquan responded, “I have an idea for a new script and I was just talking to Qiu Jin about it.”

They both answered at the same time.

Qiu Jin: “…”

“Oh? Really?” Jiang Ming glanced over him slowly and said casually, “What perfect timing, I’m planning to make a movie myself and there are some parts in the script that I want to discuss.”

Hearing the other party’s tone, Qiu Jin felt that something was wrong.

“Excuse me, I still…”

Jiang Ming didn’t give him a chance to escape and straight up interrupted him, “It’s a pity. I went to Qiu Jin to discuss the script last time, but he rejected me.”

“Huh? You rejected Jiang Ming’s invitation?” Guan Yuquan was extremely surprised.

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

Jiang Ming had the backing of Feihong Media, so even his starting point was beyond the reach of ordinary people. And now he was transitioning into making movies. This was a cooperation opportunity that many people would not even wish for.

How could Qiu Jin not know to cherish such an opportunity?

Guan Yuquan looked at Qiu Jin as if there was something wrong with him and said in surprise, “Is there something wrong with you? Why are you not grasping at such a good opportunity?”

Jiang Ming laughed at himself, “Maybe Qiu-laoshi doesn’t think much of a new director like me.”

Qiu Jin: “…”

This man was so phony.

Qiu Jin smiled awkwardly, and laughed at himself, “I just feel that I’m not good enough, acting in front of Jiang-laoshi would just be displaying my meager skills before an expert.”

“But I don’t think that way,” Jiang Ming smiled and patted him on the shoulder, “Little Qiu-tongxue, if you’re being too modest it becomes prideful.”

[T/N: suffix “tongxue” means student]

Qiu Jin: “…”

Forced into a corner, Qiu Jin had no choice but to chat with Jiang Ming.

He thought Jiang Ming was just looking for an excuse to probe him, but he didn’t expect that the other man really had a career need.

After the filming of “Rise and Fall of the World”, Jiang Ming planned to switch from an actor to a director. Actors, after all, have artistic ideals. Jiang Ming didn’t want to make commercial films, but he didn’t want to make purely artistic films either.

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

He has a high starting point, and his ambitions were great. He wanted to make a product that would blow up the box office and also be praised by the public.

But his problem was that it was difficult for himself and the screenwriter to integrate these two points.

Qiu Jin was deeply touched. The script was good but it also had depth. These were two aspects that no number of famous directors could have at the same time.

It was not impossible to film it well, but it would be difficult. If you tried to force it when the skills were not enough then it was easy to make all sides unhappy.

Trying to reach too high might result in falling flat on one’s face.

The two went from discussing commercial films to literary films, and then they talked about various gossips in the entertainment circle. Although they could not come to a consensus on the topic, Qiu Jin found that he did not feel so abhorrent towards Jiang Ming anymore.

He realized that Jiang Ming was actually a very outstanding person, and he had solid personal views on both acting and movies.

What was even more surprising to Qiu Jin was that the other party felt like an old friend that he had not seen in a long time. They had surprisingly similar views on many topics. For a moment, Qiu Jing couldn’t tell if he was just playing along or genuinely agreeing in kind.

If they truly shared the same interests then wasn’t that way too cool?

Wait, wait, Qiu Jin, sober up, maybe this is the other party’s trick to lure me into relaxing my vigilance, Qiu Jin thought.

When Qiu Jin came back to his senses, Jiang Ming just so happened to ask him a personal question. Previously, they were talking about the relationship plotline in the film, but in the blink of an eye the other party was asking him what kind of person he liked.

Qiu Jin cheered up and patted his chest to promise: “Don’t worry, I absolutely don’t like Xiang Xi.”

“Why did you only mention Xiang Xi?” Jiang Ming glanced at his face and asked meaningfully, “You think I’ll be jealous of him?”

“How can that be possible?” Qiu Jin laughed, “Didn’t I pursue him before? I was just afraid that you might misunderstand. There is actually nothing between us. There was nothing before, and there will be nothing in the future.”

Chapter 144.2 – Zheng Family

Three days later, Fu Yi went to attend the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. And An Zi Ran and Fu Wu Tian went to the small farm in the suburbs.

It was not a lie for them to say that something had happened to the small farm.

Ever since Jiang Sheng of Bao Hua Gambling House found out that the raw material for making mahjong tiles was cow bones, they have also started production in this area. However, the mahjong tiles that they produced were not satisfactory at all and could not be put out into the market.

The effect of the degreasing process was not obvious at all. The beef bones could not be completely turned into a milky white color. Thus the mahjong tiles produced would be unsightly. Compared with the mahjong tiles of Tian Long Gambling House, they were several levels below. It was self-evident which one the gamblers would choose.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

In the end, with no other way, Jiang Sheng dug for information, starting with the beef bones. He wanted to know how An Zi Ran made the beef bones turn white.

Manufacturing a large quantity of mahjong tiles required a large quantity of beef bones. And where would there be lots of beef bones? Naturally, it would be in a slaughterhouse on the outskirts of Jun Zi City.

If An Zi Ran could figure this out, then so could the competition.

Bao Hua Gambling House quickly found out about the cattle farm owner who supplied them with beef bones and wanted to coerce him into telling them whom he was selling the beef bones to. The cattle rancher did not dare to offend Bao Hua Gambling House, but due to Fu Yi’s relationship he also did not dare to spill the beans, so in the end he could only toss this hot potato over to them to take care of.

So An Zi Ran and Fu Wu Tian were trying to solve this matter.

In order to force the owner of the cattle farm to submit, Bao Hua Gambling House messed with the farm. Every month, the meat from the cattle farm would be sold out by the beginning of the month, but this year there was a problem. Many repeat customers suddenly said that they didn’t want to do business with his farm anymore, and some even wanted to return their meat orders and get a refund.

The owner of the cattle farm was very anxious. Raw meat could not be kept around for too long, otherwise it would not be fresh anymore. If the meat was not fresh, then it could only be thrown away. He was reluctant to do so and he also could not afford to refund those orders.

Back to the Chamber of Commerce gathering.

The people who hosted the party were some of the leaders of the Chamber of Commerce. In the past they would always send an invitation card to Prince Fu’s Mansion, but they never got a reply. This time, Fu Yi was willing to attend, so the leaders were very happy. They felt that this was a good opportunity for them.

Although Fu Yi was just the steward for Prince Fu’s Mansion, it was not a secret that Prince Fu’s Mansion entrusted all of their businesses to his management, so having a friendship with him was equivalent to having a connection with Prince Fu’s Mansion.

“Rare honored guest, this old man has been hoping that you would attend for a long time. My hopes were not in vain. Finally, you are here.”

As soon as Elder Zhuo heard the news of Fu Yi’s coming, he immediately came out to greet him in person. He was the leader of the Chamber of Commerce and had the power to rally a lot of supporters. No one in Jun Zi City dared to offend him easily. He was giving Fu Yi a lot of face with his greeting.

“Elder Zhuo, you are too polite.” Fu Yi respected this old man very much. The reason that the Zhuo family could enjoy such glory in the capital right now was due to Elder Zhuo.

The two exchanged a few words with each other, and then walked into the venue.

Many people were pleasantly surprised by Fu Yi’s arrival, and they were already thinking about how to form a relationship with him.

This was the reason why Fu Yi didn’t want to attend the Chamber of Commerce gatherings before. A lot of people had their eyes on Prince Fu’s Mansion [and wanted to form relations with them], but this situation was inextricably tied to Emperor Chong Ming.

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

This was due to the fact that the Da Ya Empire emphasized agriculture and suppressed businessmen. Emperor Chong Ming did not like the imperial family or ministers getting involved in business, therefore they had to do it secretly. Because they could not do things above board there were a lot of restrictions. Therefore, everyone preferred the honorable Prince Fu’s Mansion, which did things openly.

Under the suppression of an emperor who did not like businessmen, Prince Fu’s Mansion was so high profile, yet they were still able to live in peace. This meant that their capabilities must be high, so there should not be any downsides to working with Prince Fu’s Mansion.

After dealing with a lot of people with ulterior motives, Fu Yi finally remembered the task of this trip.

But before he could inquire about the Zheng family, there was a lot of noise coming from the gate, which attracted his attention.

The sight was a little surprising, because it was a woman that had walked in.

Chapter 102 – Looking For Prospective Ladies

The empress looked at the wife of the governor of Bei Guang and her youngest daughter Yao Yu Lan, “This is the number one talented lady in our capital, right? Madam Yao is truly fortunate, both your biological son and daughter are so outstanding.”

The biological son that the empress mentioned was the governor of Bei Guang’s eldest son, Yao Yu Gang, who was currently serving as a capable general under the Marquis of Zheng Yuan. At a young age, Yao Yu Gang became the champion of martial arts by merit of his martial arts prowess. Afterwards, he became a subordinate under the Marquis of Zheng Yuan. At the present time, Yao Yu Gang was in his early thirties and he was already a captain. His future was boundless.

The Marquis of Zheng Yuan, Wang Zhen, was the empress’s biological elder brother. Wang Zhen has been guarding the northern parts of the empire for many years. He’s been in the military for half of his life and has now reached middle age.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

The biggest threat to the north was the barbarians. Now that they’ve been wiped out, the emperor intended to transfer Wang Zhen back to Beijing. Among the candidates to succeed Wang Zhen, Wang Zhen has his heart set on Yao Yu Gang.

Yao Yu Lan’s father was the governor of Bei Guang, who governed over the Bei Guang area, and he was also a high-ranking official. With Yao Yu Lan’s status as the di daughter of such a father and the sister to such a brother, it was a cinch for her to nab the position of the crown prince’s cefei*.

[*T/N: 侧妃 cefei – translates to “side imperial concubine.” With the exception of the crown princess, all other concubines rank under LJB, who is currently the cejun.]

Yao Yu Lan herself was also very outstanding. She was Madam Yao’s youngest daughter. They doted on her and attentively nurtured her ever since childhood. Yao Yu Lan was also a strong-minded person who was eager to excel. She was top notch at the four arts of zither, Go, calligraphy, and painting. Last year, at the flower-viewing banquet held by the imperial princess, Yao Yu Lan, who was only thirteen years old at the time, surprised everyone with the lotus poem she recited. After that, her moniker as a talented girl spread throughout the capital.

Yao Yu Lan was a cool and proud person. When she heard the empress praising Wen Wen Qian for growing up well, she was secretly peeved. Among the three women present, the most outstanding one was naturally her. She had both talent and good looks.

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

Yao Yu Lan knew why the empress had invited them into the palace. She was very self-confident. If there was any man in the world who was worthy of her, it could only be His Royal Highness the noble crown prince, who was a master of the pen and sword. Before, she thought she could only be the crown prince’s cefei. She never thought that the crown princess would pass away from illness. Even the heavens were on her side. The crown princess position was hers for certain.

Yao Yu Lan knew that Wen Wen Qian would be her biggest competitor. Wen Wen Qian’a family background was even better than hers. As for Zhang Chun Wei, she was not worried about this sickly beauty. With just a glance, she could tell that this girl was short-lived and wouldn’t be her opponent.

“Your Majesty, this is the Buddhist scripture that I copied for you. I heard that the empress likes to worship the Buddha, so I specially transcribed the diamond sutra to show my respect. Please kindly accept [this offering], Your Masjesty.” Yao Yulan offered up the copied Buddhist scripture with both hands.

Zhou-momo stepped forward to receive the scripture and then handed it over to the empress.

The empress looked it over, “This is bengong’s first time seeing such pretty and delicate calligraphy!”

Seeing that Jia Bao was also looking on from the side, the empress handed the Buddhist scripture to Lin Jia Bao. “Jia Bao, you should take a look too…”

“This is so beautifully written…” Lin Jia Bao praised it sincerely after admiring it.

The empress also introduced Lin Jia Bao to them, “This is the crown prince’s newly conferred Lin-cejun.”

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

Everyone gave Lin Jia Bao a salute, and then they started to size up this rumored Lin-cejun. Yao Yu Lan secretly looked down on this ger cejun. But what irritated her was that she had to salute to this ger who started out as a palace servant. She was very upset, and secretly vowed that one day this Lin-cejun would have to salute and kowtow to her.

After the women left, the empress asked Lin Jia Bao, “What do you think of these three daughters*?”

[*T/N: 千金 qian jin – honorific form of daughter; direct translation is “a thousand pounds of gold”]

“Naturally, they’re all very good. They are all so outstanding. Jia Bao is ashamed of being inferior…” Lin Jia Bao vaguely understood the intention behind the empress’s inquiry.

“Jia Bao, you don’t need to be self-deprecating. Bengong heard that you’ve been managing the East Palace very well… These three have good temperaments. You should be able to get along with them.” The empress took Lin Jia Bao’s hand and said, “Don’t worry, Jia Bao. No matter what, you still have bengong. With bengong here to watch over you, no one will bully you…”

Chapter 158

Armored imperial bodyguards ran in and encircled Su Shi in the small study. The shaoqing of the Imperial Court of Judicial Review* walked in with his hands behind his back. He gave Su Shi a mocking once over.

[*T/N: 大理寺少卿 – This is an official title. There is no direct equivalent in English, so I translated it to the best of my ability. 大理寺 (da li si) means “Imperial Court of Judicial Review,” 少 (shao) can mean young or less, and 卿 (qing) is an honorific for a high-ranking official. I decided to keep 少卿 (shaoqing) in pinyin for his title, and translate 大理寺 (da li si) into English, so that it would be easy to tell which department he works in. In modern day, this person would be similar to someone in the Supreme Court who handles prison cases.]

“The emperor said: Since the Prime Minister of the Right has nothing to say and the prime minister’s mansion is no longer a place suitable for living in, why not go sleep in the Heavenly Prison* where it will be nice and quiet? What does the Prime Minister of the Right think about this?”

[*T/N: Heavenly Prison 天牢 – refers to the prison in the capital and directly under the control of the imperial court. It is different from the Earthly Prison 地牢, which is below ground. The Heavenly Prison is above ground and it is a place where prisoners with severe crimes are held.]

Su Shi raised his eyebrows slightly. He more or less understood the situation.

The correct procedure was to wait for the imperial court to discuss and judge his crimes before they send him to prison to await his execution. But the young emperor has decided to humiliate him, so he would naturally drag this process out as long as possible, long enough to thoroughly break down the prime minister. The most desirable outcome would be to get the prime minister to cry bitter tears and beg for a swift death. Only then would the emperor’s anger be assuaged.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

But yesterday, the acting regent suddenly came to look for him for no reason, and his attitude was unexpectedly gentle, which probably caused a lot of pressure for the emperor who has only just managed to warm the throne [with his butt].

It looked like that Song Rong wasn’t completely unhelpful [for his mission to carry the pot].

Su Shi lightly raised the corners of his lips and fluttered his sleeves to shake away the imperial bodyguard that wanted to shackle him.

“I can sleep in my mansion, then naturally I can also sleep in the Heavenly Prison. Lu Li thanks the emperor for his care.”

His martial arts abilities were the real deal. Otherwise, there was no need to send along so many imperial bodyguards just to bring him to the Heavenly Prison. Seeing that Lu Li merely disdained being put in shackles and wasn’t going to resist arrest, the shaoqing of the Imperial Court of Judicial Review was relieved. He gave a meaningful glance to the imperial bodyguards, and then he stepped back to make way: “Prime Minister of the Right, this way please.”

Su Shi glanced at the shaoqing lightly and stepped forward calmly, but he suddenly shook his arms towards the back.

Two imperial bodyguards with halberds were about to strike Su Shi to force him to kneel, but a sweep of Su Shi’s sleeves caused them to stumble back a few steps. With ashen faces, the bodyguards fell to the floor.

“You want me to kneel? Even the current emperor in power does not have much confidence. So small fries like you should mind your place.”

Not once did Su Shi look backwards. Su Shi paused and turned his body slightly to look at the shaoqing of the Imperial Court of Judicial Review, whose complexion had changed abruptly. Su Shi smirked slightly: “I’ve been sentenced to execution. A person who is about to die can do just about anything, don’t you agree?”

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

“P- Prime Minister of the Right, please forgive me. This little one does not dare anymore!”

The shaoqing of the Imperial Court of Judicial Review hurriedly took a few steps back, but he was so overwhelmed by the vastness of Su Shi’s power that he instinctively bowed to his knees. He did not even dare to look Su Shi in the face, and he subconsciously kept begging for forgiveness, but a flicker of better resentment flashed across his eyes.

After pulling enough agro, Su Shi sneered, flicked his sleeves, and left in large strides.

It looked like his [Come, Come and Hit Me] ability was really useful.

He no longer resisted. He let the imperial bodyguards escort him out of the prime minister’s mansion and towards the Heavenly Prison.

But when they came across the street corner, Su Shi suddenly stopped.

The young emperor was traveling without a big escort and he was currently standing at the doorway. Beside him was a big prisoner vehicle*. The emperor looked at Su Shi. His gaze was gloomy, but his eyes were not as fierce as the ruthless sharpness cultivated by long years.

[*T/N: prisoner vehicle – according to Chinese dramas, it looks like a narrow cage on wheels. The narrow size forces the prisoner to be in a standing position, while the vehicle is dragged through the streets so that the masses may ridicule the prisoner.]

Song Rong stood behind the emperor. When he saw Su Shi approaching, he lifted his head and looked like he wanted to say something but was hesitating. He obviously realized that sticking up for the wrongdoer would only make Lu Li’s situation even worse.

Su Shi ignored Song Rong. His eyes fell on the heavy shackles prepared for him and he raised his eyebrows slightly. Then he slowly straightened up his body.

The young emperor’s name was Song Zhilan. The meaning of his name was for him to wield the power to bring peace and tranquility to the world. It was a name that Lu Li had come up with in the past. This was already over ten years ago. If the young emperor knew this, he would probably refuse to use his name ever again.

Su Shi wasn’t too willing to be paraded through the streets, but he just sighed lightly and did not resist. He silently let them put the heavy shackles on him.

Suddenly he caught a glimpse of light reflecting off of something sharp.

A shrill alarm sounded in Su Shi’s ears. It was a warning that the protagonist’s life was in danger. Su Shi’s brows furrowed. As if he was running out of patience for the clumsy imperial bodyguard trying to shackle him, Su Shi flicked his sleeved and turned around.

Because of his suddenly action, the sharp object ended up colliding with the iron fetters between his wrists in a loud clang.

“Assassins! Protect the emperor!”

The imperial bodyguards responded very quickly. After barking out a sharp order, he wanted to protect the emperor and quickly get him onto the carriage to flee.

The person that ended up striking his fetters was quite strong, locking his hands in place and restricting his movements. Su Shi had to retreat a few steps before being able to unleash his power. The light in his eyes dimmed.

The masked men in black had jumped out from nowhere. With just a rough estimated, Su Shi saw more than twenty of them. All of them looked capable and strong.

Song Rong was used to battle after being in the army for so many years. He pulled the young emperor behind him and led the imperial bodyguards in a fight against the assassins. But because they were so greatly outnumbered, the situation was not looking too good.

The assassins were not afraid of death. They were all targeting the young emperor who had no martial prowess.

Whether it was for his character set up or his mission, Su Shi could not ignore this situation and not care.

Holding the manacles, Su Shi knocked down a few of the assassins. He seized an opportunity to get in front of Song Zhilan. Just as he was about to surreptitiously protect the emperor, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

More than half of the assassins were lured towards him. They were ruthlessly aiming for him.

The assassins were hell bent on beating him up while he brazenly shielded the young emperor.

Song Rong knocked aside an assassin and said in a stern voice: “What are you guys stunned for? Quickly assist the prime minister in protecting the emperor!”

Chapter 34 – In the Flower Garden (13.1)

Let’s rewind time back to half an hour prior.

In the garden of the palace banquet hall, An Ji looked at Li Rong’s unconscious body lying in front of him. At first, he wanted to call someone else to come over and deal with it, but he came to a stop after taking a single step.

Wait a minute. If he called someone over, how was he supposed to explain Li Rong’s fainting problem? It’s not like he could say that he was too formidable and made Li Rong faint by kissing him, right?

No, no, this will ruin his reputation forever! ​

So An Ji picked Li Rong up and rushed the man all the way to the Imperial Household Hospital by himself.

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

Li Rong was close to 1.9 meters tall and weighed close to 80 kilograms. If it were any other omega, they would not be able to tow even one of Li Rong’s thighs.

But An Ji had lifted Zergs and fought star beasts before. This weight was nothing to him. He carried Li Rong from the banquet hall all the way to the hospital entrance without losing his breath.

However, when he was approaching the hospital, Li Rong groaned. His face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and he looked like he was having a hard time.

It was then that An Ji realized that the pampered prince could not stand such a rough handling method. He sighed and thoughtfully shifted Li Rong into a princess carry.

……

Seeing how hard An Ji worked to bring him to the hospital, all sorts of feelings welled up in Li Rong’s heart. His heart felt achy and weary. The little bit of embarrassment he felt quickly disappeared and turned into a steady stream of warmth encircling him.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

An Ji was just a fragile omega, but he was willing to go to such extent for him. Although he didn’t show any abnormality in the video, he must be gritting his teeth to hold on since Li Rong was so heavy, right? Perhaps he has even collapsed by now.

An Ji was so good to him, but what about him? He has been awake for so long, but he didn’t even ask after An Ji once. He was so inhuman!

Upon realizing this, Li Rong asked urgently, “Where is he? Is he in the neighboring ward?”

The doctor replied, “No. He left already.”

Li Rong: “…”

An Ji was currently on his way home. It wasn’t because he was embarrassed that he had kissed Li Rong until the other man fainted. He left because the dinner was simply too boring. An Ji hummed a little tune as he walked back, but he was stopped at the palace gate.

“Apologies, the palace is currently checking the guests entering and exiting, and the exit passage is temporarily closed. Please wait here for a moment.” The tall guard said solemnly.

The gate had been raised, leaving only a small door next to it for passage. It was now being guarded by layers and layers of guards. Only omegas who have been inspected were allowed to leave.

An Ji walked through the crowd and asked the guard on the side, “What happened?”

The guard responded, “We are only acting under orders. If you want to leave, please line up for security check.”

An Ji was silent for two seconds. Then he turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

“An Yao!” Returning to the garden outside the banquet hall, An Ji finally saw a familiar figure and ran over quickly, “What happened?”

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

An Yao was standing with several unfamiliar alphas. When he heard An Ji’s voice, he took a few steps forward, looked him over once, and then asked, “Are you okay?”

“I’m okay,” An Ji wondered, “What happened? Why is the management so strict all of a sudden?”

An Yao looked around and found that no one had noticed them. Then he took another step forward and said in a voice that only they could hear: “Someone raped an omega in the garden.”

Rape? An Ji gasped, “Are you sure? When did it happen?”

“Tonight, around 8:30 to 9:00,” An Yao pushed up his glasses, “The royal guards are investigating everyone who entered and left the garden during that time.”

Eight thirty to nine o’clock? Didn’t that happen to be the time when he and Li Rong met in the garden?

Seeing An Ji’s face pale, An Yao thought he was afraid of being threatened, so he couldn’t help but comfort him: “Don’t worry too much. Although the garden is large, multiple entrances are monitored. I believe there will be results soon.”

Garden, rape…

An Ji frowned. Could it be the sound coming from behind the flowers when he and Li Rong were sitting on the bench? So it was not a consensual affair at all, but an unequal rape? They were obviously nearby at that time, if only he had noticed earlier…

Chapter 99 – Mutual Understanding

Xi Duan listened to Duan Shu Tong and sat down obediently, but unfortunately his legs were too long and the back of the passenger seat in front of him was pushed backwards a little too much, so he could only sit leaning out. He looked a bit sullen.

Duan Shu Tong saw the predicament that Xi Duan was in and deliberately asked him, “How does it feel to take the high-speed train?”

Xi Duan turned his head to look at him. There was a warm light in his eyes, and a slight smile appeared on the corners of his lips, “Very good.”

“How is it good?”

“It’s all good.”

The train began to speed up and galloped in the direction of Yan City. Duan Shu Tong stopped talking and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

In the carriage there were the sounds of people chatting, people making phone calls, videos playing on phones, and children’s screaming voices. Everything was lively.

Duan Shu Tong closed his eyes. In his head, images of Xi Duan keep popping up one after another. Each image was imprinted clearly and deeply in his mind.

In the past, he was blindfolded by his inherent impression of Xi Duan, believing that Xi Duan held “deep emotions” for Pei Ruo Wei. Now, it was like the clouds have been dispersed and he could see the sun, getting a glimpse of the truth.

It was like he has been poured a bowl of sweet syrup. His heart was only filled with joy.

He opened his eyes and sent a WeChat message on his mobile phone: Are you taking the high-speed train again for the trip back?

Hearing the notification alert, Xi Duan turned on his phone and stared at the message for a few seconds. Just as he was pondering on the young man’s intentions, a service personnel came over with a cart full of snacks and drinks and Xi Duan’s legs just happened to be blocking the path of the cart.

“Sir, can you move a bit?”

Xi Duan retracted his legs, but the passenger seat space was too small, so he had to lean towards Duan Shu Tong, and naturally their knees bumped together.

They could feel the warmth of the other person’s body heat through the thin fabric of their pants.

After a while Duan Shu Tong lowered his head and said, “She passed through already.”

“En.” Xi Duan moved his legs back into the aisle.

The air felt so viscous that it made his heart pound, and it became difficult to even breathe.

Xi Duan rubbed his fingertips on the armrest unconsciously, and it wasn’t until his mind calmed down that he remembered that he hadn’t replied to the WeChat message yet.

But what did Duan Shu Tong mean with that message? How should he [Xi Duan] answer? Will the young man get angry if he gave the wrong response?

The more you cared about something, the more you tend to over think the matter.

Xi Duan even searched the Internet for related topics, “What does it mean when someone I like asks me if I want to take the high-speed train for the return trip?”

Of course he did not get any results for his search.

No matter how astute and formidable someone was, once they fell in love, they will be like an ignorant brat, and their mind will be at sixes and sevens.

He pursed his lips, made up his mind, and replied: Yes.

Seeing the reply, Duan Shu Tong almost laughed out loud, and he replied happily: That’s too bad, I wanted to carpool with you.

Xi Duan’s inner heart: !!!

He promptly remedied the situation: Then let’s take the car together.

Duan Shu Tong’s eyebrows rose. Then he glanced over at Xi Duan. Their eyes just so happened to meet. Duan Shu Tong was unable to restraint he happy curve of his eyes.

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

Sunlight shone in through the window, lighting up the side of his face in dazzling sparkles. He was so good looking it was unfathomable.

At that precise moment, Xi Duan’s heart was filled with endless tenderness. It was like everything sweet and soft was burrowing into this heart, filling it to the brim and then some more.

The sweet and fragrant atmosphere was abruptly interrupted by WeChat messages.

Duan Shu Tong looked down and couldn’t help laughing, somewhat sadistically, rejoicing in another person’s misfortune.

Without waiting for Xi Duan to ask, he brought the phone over to show him the picture on the screen. “There is a traffic jam on the expressway.”

“Who sent you it?” Xi Duan asked.

Duan Shu Tong took back his phone and sat upright again, “Newly recruited technician.” He suddenly thought of something, “Are Cen-ge and Liu-ge also going back to Yan City? Will they be stuck in traffic too?”

Xi Duan immediately sent a WeChat message to Cen Ning to express his concern.

As soon as he sent the message, he got Cen Ning’s anguish wailing in reply: President Xi, you’re so wise and farsighted! The high-speed rail is so great! The expressway is jammed tight!

Xi Duan finally understood the feeling of schadenfreude that Duan Shu Tong had expressed just now. Now more than ever, he felt lucky to be acquainted with the young man.

He sent both Cen Ning and Liu Zhi Fei a red envelope [through WeChat] to console them. At the same time, it alleviated the guilt he felt from being amused at their misfortune.

He showed Duan Shu Tong his WeChat account, and Duan Shu Tong praised sincerely, “What a good boss.”

As for Duan Shu Tong, he didn’t bother to give Han Ling a red envelope of consolation.

[T/N: Phffft, Duan Shu Tong is such a gremlin in this chapter. XD]

Chapter 120 – You Have Another Person’s Scent On Your Body (39.1)

“Where have you been?” Yang Chi had been searching for a long time and he finally found Qiu Jin at the front entrance. He hurriedly said, “The dinner party is about ot begin.”

Qiu Jin replied, “I went to see my fans.”

“How could you just go like that?” Yang Chi glanced at the door, feeling uneasy. “There are so many people. Xiang Xi’s fans are there too. What if someone throws a water bottle at you again?”

Qiu Jin didn’t care too much. “I just saw them for a moment. No big deal. It’s not easy for them to come all this way.”

Yang Chi paused for a second. In the end he didn’t say anything else.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

Right now, Qiu Jin was in a desolate and terrible stage of his career, yet there were still people willing to like him. If he only sent them a few bottles of water it would be considered too irreverent.

When Qiu Jin came in, the dinner party was already in full swing. Qiu Jin was still watching his figure, so he took a buffet plate and picked out a low-calorie fruit salad.

He was now completely acquainted with everyone and he could easily strike up a conversation with the entire cast and crew.

Xiang Xi has been watching Qiu Jin since he came in. He watched as Qiu Jin walked around with a glass of wine, nodding and greeting the investors. He watched as Qiu Jin talked and laughed happily with the director and screenwriter. He watched as Qiu Jin murmured in thoughtful tones with the other cast and crew. Qiu Jin was a social butterfly fluttering from flower to flower, except he avoided the one flower named Xiang Xi.

“Congratulations, Qiu Jin finally stopped pestering you.” Feng Ling, the actress playing the female lead in “The Rise and Fall of the World,” walked over with a wine glass.

Xiang Xi withdrew his gaze and smiled faintly: “That’s right, he doesn’t pester me anymore.”

Feng Ling also had a lot of relationships to maintain, so she soon left with her wine glass to go socialize.

The smile on Xiang Xi’s face fell off abruptly. He turned around and jabbed at the small cake on his plate until he crumbled to pieces.

“My dear ancestor*, please don’t blow up again.” Xiang Xi’s manager was afraid that he would cause trouble, so he quickly reminded him. “Don’t think about Qiu Jin anymore. How about you go give a toast to President Ji?”

[*T/N: An ancestor is someone that should be respected. Nowadays it’s used somewhat humorously to placate someone.]

“Who’s thinking about Qiu Jin?!” Xiang Xi’s expression was moody, but he still followed his manager over.

To be honest, he didn’t really like Ji Shenxiao that much. The oppressiveness from Ji Shenxiao was simply too strong. Althought Ji Shenxiao has never lost his temper with Xiang Xi, he could tell at a glance that the other man wasn’t an easy person to mess with. Just like how a primary school student was in awe of his teacher, Xiang Xi got nervous around Ji Shenxiao and subconsciously wanted to run away.

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

With great difficulty, Xiang Xi mustered up the courage to give Ji Shenxiao a toast. After the toast, he ran into Qiu Jin as soon as he turned around. He couldn’t help faltering for a moment. Then he condescended to shout, “Hey.”

Qiu Jin glanced at him vigilantly. He nodded to Xiang Xi as if they were strangers. Then he walked away as if trying to avoid the plague.

He left?

He left?!

How dare he!!

Xiang Xi squeezed the red wine glass in his hand. A vein popped up on the back of his slender hand. Even his breathing became heavier. Did Qiu Jin go crazy? How dare Qiu Jin disregard him?!

The manager gave him a curious look: “What’s the matter with you? Are you angry?”

Xiang Xi was sullen: “Why can’t I be?”

Why would he get angry over something [insignificant] like this? The manager asked suspiciously, “Didn’t you hate Qiu Jin a lot before? Isn’t it good that he’s staying far away from you now?”

Xiang Xi replied, “But we’ve known each other for so long, how could he disregard me so much?”

“What else [is he supposed to do]? You can’t possibly want to be buddy-buddy with him, right?”

Xiang Xi jabbed at the dessert on his plate and muttered, “It’s not like that’s impossible…”

“What did you say?”

Xiang Xi sighed: “Nothing.”

The manager comforted him: “Don’t think like that about him. Back then, when you were avoiding him you were much more aggressive than he is now.”

Of course he knew this was the case, but hadn’t their relationship eased?

Xiang Xi felt aggrieved. They were both omegas, so naturally he would not suspect Qiu Jin of having ulterior thoughts about him. He has also changed his prejudice against Qiu Jin. He just wanted to be able to communicate normally, but Qiu Jin was unexpectedly still avoiding him.

Xiang Xi glanced angrily at Qiu Jin’s back. Then he coldly withdrew his gaze. Since the other party was ignoring him, then he only needed to put up superficial pretenses. It’s not like he lacked friends.

Translations by Vanilla Muse. Read on vmnovels [dot] com

Qiu Jin actually did not want to go so far in avoiding Xiang Xi. After all their relationship had gotten better after shooting “Four Seasons Food” together, so it would be very normal to greet each other.

But that logic was no match for Jiang Ming’s presence tonight.

Jiang Ming was the scariest existence in the book. Saying he had a complex would be too mild. That man was simply crazy. What if the big boss couldn’t even stand Qiu Jin talking with Xiang Xi and got jealous? Then he would just pick up a knife and take care of Qiu Jin on the spot.

How was Qiu Jin supposed to survive that?

Jiang Ming would ruin the Qiu family, cut out Qiu Jin’s glands, and feed his corpse to the fish… just thinking about it was a horror story.

Chapter 144.1 – Zheng Family

Fu Yi felt like he had recently welcomed in the darkest moment of his life.

Don’t know when, but the people around him actually united to look for the other half of his life for him. For this, he could only think of two words that he had heard a long time ago – nosy parkers!

The Smiling Fox’s IQ was not inferior to An Zi Ran and the others. Once he understood their intentions, he deduced their reasoning.

As soon as Fu Yi entered the door of the mansion, he heard from the servants that Fu Wu Tian and An Zi Ran were looking for him. The two were in the study. Fu Yi could vaguely guess why they were looking for him. After thinking about it, he still decided to go and have a look.

Translations are by vmnovels [dot] com, if you’re reading this anywhere else, then it was stolen.

When he got to the study, Fu Yi did not see hide nor hair of the laowangye. On the contrary, this made him more certain about his guess. It would seem that the laowangye did not dare to show his face before him.

“Uncle, you came just in time. We have an invitation card here.”

When An Zi Ran saw Fu Yi come into the study, he handed him the invitation card that he was reading. An Zi Ran’s expression was very sincere. Fu Yi couldn’t see a trace of scheming on his face.

Fu Yi’s eyes seemed to inadvertently scrutinize An Zi Ran’s and Fu Wu Tian’s faces, but he couldn’t see any flaws in their expressions. So he took the card and saw that it was an invitation from the Chamber of Commerce. There have been invitations like this in previous years too. It’s just that he rarely went to them.

Before he could speak, An Zi Ran continued, “Uncle, you are in charge of all the businesses of Prince Fu’s Mansion. You are more familiar with how things work with the Chamber of Commerce, so we’ll have to trouble you to attend this.”

Fu Yi put the invitation card on the table. “I did not attend this kind of Chamber of Commerce meeting last year, so I shouldn’t have to attend this year, right?”

An Zi Ran shook his head, “The people invited to the meeting of the Chamber of Commerce are all wealthy businessmen in the capital. Among them is a wealthy businessman by the surname of Zheng. Their ancestors made textile machines for a living. This is a good opportunity. Originally, I wanted to go myself, but unfortunately, something happened over at the farm and we need to deal with it personally, so I wanted to ask you to go in my place.”

Fu Yi knew about An Zi Ran’s large-scale project to grow cotton in Ali Xiang, and he also knew the purpose of this cotton.

Like hemp, cotton could be woven into cloth. In the process of making cloth, textile machines would be needed, and they might need a lot of machines. Generally, more than twenty or thirty textile machines were a big order. Ordinary workshops would not be able to handle such a large order. In addition, the follow-up would be more troublesome. Therefore, going with that wealthy businessman surnamed Zheng was a good choice.

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

The Zheng family was not a very rich or noble family in Jun Zi City, and they did not have anyone [powerful] backing them, but the head of the Zheng family really knew how to conduct himself.

Probably for this reason, the Chamber of Commerce finally sent a invitation card to the Zheng family this year, so this would be the first time the Zheng family was participating in a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce. For the Zheng family, this was a rare opportunity for them to interact with many wealthy businessmen. The owner of the Zheng family would definitely attend.

Fu Yi knew that what he said was true.

He had also heard of the Zheng family’s textile machine workshop, which was famous for its quality, so he couldn’t help dispelling some doubts in his heart.

After pondering for a while, Fu Yi said: “The amount you want is not a small number. If you suddenly went to look for the Zheng family aren’t you afraid that people will suspect Prince Fu’s Mansion in the future?”

As the representing agent of Prince Fu’s Mansion, there were many people who knew his identity.

“That’s why we need Uncle’s help.” Fu Wu Tian timely picked up the conversation thread: “Prince Fu’s Mansion seem to have a few clothing workshops under its management, so we can pretend it is for that.”

Clothing workshops would definitely have need of textile machines. Even if other people have doubts, they would only think that Fu Yi wanted to expand the clothing business of Prince Fu’s Mansion, or perhaps that he wanted to replace old textile machines with new ones.

An Zi Ran then added: “Moreover, we still need eight or nine more months before the cotton plants mature. We can move up the schedule and prepare things in advance. Even if some people have suspicions in the future, they will not immediately make the connection.”

It was undeniable that both of them were right.

Fu Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.

However, no matter how clever a fox was, he would still fall into the trap of a hunter if he was not careful enough, but he could only lament that fate was unfavorable to him. Who told the Jade Emperor* to stand on An Zi Ran’s side, for him to actually find such an exquisite coincidence to lure Fu Yi into the trap.
