Chapter 156.2 – Changeable Situation

The Pu family was not like the Zhang Sun family, who has blood relations with Fu Yuan Wu, but they did marry their daughter to Fu Yuan Wu and she even got pregnant. They had been supporting him all these years. Even if they did not achieve any meritorious service, they still put in a lot of hard work, but in the end, Fu Yuan Wu just dropped them whenever he wanted!

“You must save the Pu family. If you hadn’t asked me to approach Wang Qing Lan to investigate Prince Fu’s Mansion, how could I have ended up in this situation? The Pu family’s current fate definitely has something to do with you!”

Pu Song Yong slapped his hands heavily on the table and looked at Fu Yuan Wu aggressively.

Fu Yuan Wu’s eyes darkened, “Father-in-law, if you suffer from amnesia, I can help you restore your memory. You cheating on Mother-in-law is not what I asked you to do. I asked you to approach Wang Qing Lan half a month ago, and you started an affair with Wang Qing Lan two months ago.”

Pu Song Yong’s face flipped between blue and white as Fu Yuan Wu spoke. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down before speaking again: “Even so, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have gone to the An Mansion at all. If I didn’t go to the An Mansion, the affair would not have been found out, and news of it would not have spread. Furthermore, the emperor wanted to deal with the Pu family because of the relationship between the Pu family and you, but you refused to save the Pu family. If you treat the Pu family like this, aren’t you afraid that the other families that are attached to you will be bitterly disappointed in you?”

Fu Yuanwu’s face turned completely cold, “Pu Song Yong, you are not qualified to judge me now. If you are here just to say this, then this prince has already lost his patience. Steward, see the guest out!”

The steward who was guarding the door immediately walked in.

“Pu-daren, this way please.”

Pu Song Yong was so angry that he trembled, “You’re not afraid that I will tell everyone about you?”

Fu Yuan Wu sneered and said: “Father-in-law, if you want to say something, I won’t stop you, but you have to think about your daughter. She is my wangfei. If my life’s not good, then her life won’t be good either. By the way, I have some happy news to tell you, Father-in-law. Yesterday, the doctor confirmed that wangfei is pregnant.”

Pu Song Yong’s face suddenly twisted. Fu Yuan Wu was actually using his daughter to threaten him?

“Fu Yuan Wu, you definitely won’t have a good ending!”

The steward quickly ordered some servants to drag him out.

Pu Song Yong’s abusive words got quieter and quieter as he was dragged away and calm returned to the area once again. Fu Yuan Wu’s body was hidden in the shadows, and half of his face showed a trace of cruelty. With a ‘kacha‘, the brush in his hand was suddenly split into two sections.

If the Pu family decided not to be tactful, then he wouldn’t hold back either.

Not long after Pu Song Yong left, the steward suddenly knocked on the door hurriedly, and the first words he said when he came in were: “Wangye, not good, wangfei has had a miscarriage.”

Fu Yuan Wu frowned. Displeased.

“She was fine yesterday, why did she suddenly have a miscarriage?”

Instead of responding right away, the steward hesitated.

“Speak!”

“It was Yang-cefei who pushed wangfei. When wangfei fell to the ground, she accidentally hit her stomach and she bled a lot. I have already sent someone to go get the doctor.”

Fu Yuan Wu’s expression was calm, “Wangfei has had a miscarriage and will definitely need to recuperate for a period of time. She won’t be able to manage the harem’s affairs. You go and pass on my orders, from now on, all trivial matters in the mansion will be up to Yang-cefei to handle. Also, this prince does not want too many people to know about this matter. Make sure all the servants keep their mouths shut.”

“Understood, wangye.”

After hearing this, the steward was a little frightened. Wangye really was a heartless and unrighteous person. The Pu family was already in dire straits. Not only did he not punish Yang-cefei, he even gave Yang-cefei the right to manage the harem. Was he really not afraid of negative repercussions if the Pu family found out?”

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

The steward didn’t dare to think about it anymore, he could only sympathize with wangfei in his heart.

But there was no airtight wall in the world.

A lot of servants were present when Yang-cefei pushed wangfei. No matter how many times the servants were warned to not talk about the incident, the news would inevitably spread.

Originally, Pu Song Yong was somewhat afraid of consequences because he had his daughter to think about, but upon learning about what had happened, he went crazy. Fu Yuan Wu was heartless and unrighteous, so he would not have any more misgivings.The Pu family’s relationship with Fu Yuan Wu was not as close as that of the Zhang Sun family, but they have learned a lot of his secrets over the years. He would reveal all of those things to Fu Yuan Wu’s enemies!

A trace of crazy and determined bitter resentment flashed in Pu Song Yong’s eyes. He would drag Fu Yuan Wu into the murky waters even if he had to forfeit his life to do so.

Chapter 120 – Temporary Imperial Residence, Part 2 

It turned out that Official Registrar Wang had heard the news that His Royal Highness sent people to Lin Da Zhuang’s home to escort the family to the temporary imperial palace in Li Province at the county government office. Then once he returned home, he immediately began scheming with his family. In the end, Lin Chun Er returned to her maternal home and told Lin Da Li and the others about the news. No one wanted to miss this opportunity to go tot he temporary imperial palace. If they missed this chance, they might never have such a good opportunity again in their lives.

Official Registrar Wang said to Lin Chun Er: “Daughter-in-law, I, your father-in-law, have been in the position of official registrar for a long time. Find a way to mention this to Lin-cejun…”

Lin Chun Er nodded to express her understanding. Even if her father-in-law did not ask her to do this, she would still do it for her own sake. If she could accomplish this, she would really be able to speak her mind in the Wang family from now on.

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

Lin Da Zhuang was a little hesitant. The crown prince had sent people to escort his family and the Qin family to the temporary imperial palace in Li Province, but there was no mention of Lin Da Li’s family.

“Well… we’re going to the temporary imperial palace after all, so I can’t make decisions without permission.”

“Uncle, we really miss little Jia Bao, so please let us go together. It’s rare for little Jia Bao to see his family, so let us relatives come along. Besides, it will be livelier with more people…” Lin Chun Er continued to persuade Lin Da Zhuang.

Lin Da Zhuang and the others were troubled by this turn of events. “Well…”

“The palace has its own rules. It would not be appropriate to go to the temporary imperial palace without careful consideration…” Lin Jia Wen said. He didn’t want Lin Da Li and his family to go with them. He has always felt that that side of the family was too snobbish. For the sake of money, they sent their daughter to marry into the Wang family as a chongxi bride* and forced Jia Bao to enter the palace in her place. And now they wanted to tag along because Jia Bao became a cejun.

[*T/N: chongxi bride – a woman marries into a man’s family to bring luck to the man’s family. Usually it’s because there’s some sickness or misfortune in the man’s family and they think the good luck of a wedding will drive away the back luck. The woman’s date of birth has to be a good match for the groom’s in order for it to work.]

Seeing this, the leader of the guards stepped forward with good intentions and said to them, “Since they are all relatives of Lin-cejun, why not travel along at the back of the convoy. It should be okay. We better not waste time.”

The leader of the guards said this because he thought it wouldn’t be a big deal to bring along more of Lin-cejun’s relatives to see him, considering how much the crown prince dotes on Lin-cejun. This should just be a trivial matter, right? What was more important was that His Royal Highness had specifically ordered them to safely escort Lin-cejun’s family to the temporary imperial palace in Li Province before the sixth day of the sixth month in order to make it in time for Lin-cejun’s birthday. He did not dare to delay any longer.

Lin Da Li and the others happily followed along at the back of the convoy. Ke Mei Li hugged her son Lin Jia Wang and said joyfully, “Ha ha ha, we’re going to the temporary imperial palace. When I come back, I can brag to those rich ladies.”

Lin Jia Wang rolled his eyes. When he came back, he could also flaunt this at the academy of classical learning.

Lin Li Er was sitting inside the carriage. When she heard that Lin Da Li’s family and Lin Chun Er and her husband were also going to the palace, she said unhappily, “Why do they have to come along? His Royal Highness did not invite them.”

Lin Li Er disliked Lin Da Li’s family very much. Ever since they caused Jia Bao to enter the palace, she had never shown them a nice expression. She didn’t like how Lin Chun Er put on airs after marrying into the Wang family. First, she flaunted her new status and looked down on others. Later, when Jia Bao became a cejun, she deliberately tried to curry favor with them. That Lin Xia Er was also very annoying. Every time she came to their house, she would beg for any beautiful clothes or jewelry she saw. Once, she even took a fancy to her younger sister Lin Xiu Er’s hairpin. It was a greeting gift that His Royal Highness gave to every female member of the Lin family. How could they possibly give that away? Lin Li Er gave her a good scolding, but Lin Xia Er didn’t care. After a few days, she acted like nothing happened and was sticking to them like goldfish poop again.

Lin Li Er never went to banquets or flower-viewing parties because she was already engaged. It was her mother who took Wu Qiao Lan and Xiu Er to those events, and Lin Xia Er would beg to join them every time. She was so young, but she already knew how to display herself in front of those rich madams, with the hopes of marrying into a rich and powerful family one day.

“They must not have any good intentions!” Lin Li Er said angrily.

Zhang Hui Niang comforted her second daughter, “All right, don’t be angry. You are going to be a bride soon, so you should change your temper and stop being so explosive all the time. When we get to the temporary imperial palace, let’s look out for Da Li’s family some more. There shouldn’t be any mishaps.”

On the fifth day of the sixth month, Lin Da Zhuang and the others finally arrived at the temporary imperial palace in Li Province.

Chapter 115 – Elder Brother… 

Wang Rong Qian carefully read every word of the article, and finally took a look at the author. The name was an unfamiliar one, and he had no impression of it at all.

His heart was fluctuating. He planned to call his teacher back right away, but before pressing the call button, he stopped. He read the article once more. After calming down a little he dialed his teacher’s number.

“Teacher, I’ve finished reading.”

“What do you think?”

Wang Rong Qian took a deep breath, “I don’t see any mistakes.”

The old man raised his voice, “I wasn’t asking you to look for that! After I read the article this morning, I specifically looked into it and found out that the medicine mentioned in the paper exists. Also, it’s about to enter the clinical trial stage. I’m too old, so it’s inconvenient for me to go. You are an expert in this field, do you want to go?”

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

The clinical trial stage did indeed need medical experts to be in charge. Within the Yan City First Hospital, Wang Rong Qian was a master in this area. If he wanted to go, he would absolutely be qualified to participate.

Wang Rong Qian was pleasantly surprised: “Really? Then I will definitely go! Where did you get the news from?”

“You don’t need to worry about that,” after a pause the old man said, “The medicine was developed by the Spring and Autumn Hall in Shan Quan County, Lin Nan Province. I reckon the clinical trial will be conducted by the Lin Nan Provincial Hospital. As for the details, you can figure that out for yourself.”

After he finished the call with his teacher, Wang Rong Qian thought about the matter for a while. Then he immediately contacted his good friend who worked in the Lin Nan Provincial Hospital. After some inquiry, he leared that the news was true, so he thickened his skin and asked, “I also want to participate, I wonder if I can…”

“That’s great!” His good friend laughed and said, “If you can come then that would wonderful. I didn’t think that you would know about this.”

Wang Rong Qian was surprised, “You don’t know?”

“Know what?”

Wang Rong Qian told him about the new issue of the journal, and his friend quickly ended the call to go read it.

It’s not that he didn’t care, but there were a lot of new drugs produced every year. They have done various clinical trials many times, and it has become commonplace, so when this new drug came along, they didn’t attach much significance to it.

But it was worth paying more attention to this drug if it was able to get into the “Life” journal.

The shock that these masters of the field were going through did not affect Duan Shu Tong’s simple life. He still worked assiduously everyday, and when he returned home he would video chat with a certain someone.

The man’s face occupied the phone screen. He still looked extremely handsome, just like always.

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

Duan Shu Tong was leaning back in bed after taking a shower. His face was still flushed from the hot shower, and his peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with mist.

“Today’s Christmas Eve. Everyone is selling apples on the streets.” The young man rubbed his eyes and yawned.

“Christmas Eve?” Xi Duan looked a little confused. “People eat apples on Christmas Eve?”

“I don’t know either. I guess the homonym* is auspicious.” Duan Shu Tong smiled and slid down to lie flat on the bed. He raised one hand. “It’s just a way for the merchants to promote their products.”

[*T/N: In Chinese, Christmas Eve is 平安夜 (ping an ye) and apple is 苹果 (ping guo). The “ping” in both words have the same pronunciation but they’re written differently.]

Xi Duan’s gaze was gentle. “Go to sleep if you’re sleepy.”

Duan Shu Tong was indeed sleep, but he couldn’t bear to go to sleep. He wanted to talk to Xi Duan some more. Since the last time they met at the provincial capital, the two haven’t seen each other for many days.

Duan Shu Tong changed his position on the bed so that he was lying on his side. Half of his face was buried in the pillow. His wrist rested on one end of the pillow. His eyes were half-closed. It looked like he was going to fall asleep in the next second.

Xi Duan couldn’t help stretching out his hand to trace the contours of Duan Shu Tong’s face through the screen. He said, “You lost weight again?”

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

The last time they had met, Xi Duan found that the young man had lost some weight. All the experimenting for the new drug was probably too exhausting. And now, the young man seemed to be even thinner than the last time they had met.

Duan Shu Tong replied sleepily, “I didn’t. In fact, I got heavier. It’s probably a problem with the camera.”

Seeing that the young man looked like he really couldn’t stay awake any longer, Xi Duan said helplessly, “Go to bed. Good night.”

By that point, Duan Shu Tong was so sleepy that he couldn’t even open his eyes. “Xi-ge, good night.”

On the other side of the screen, the man’s heart jumped. His voice lost his usual calmness. “What did you call me?”

Duan Shu Tong subconsciously said, “Ge…”

Immediately afterwards, he fell into the land of slumber. He didn’t even turn off the video chat. The phone slipped from his hand and plopped onto the bed, leaving only a black screen.

Xi Duan looked at the black screen. There was a hidden fervor in his eyes. He covered his mouth and chuckled with joy.

[T/N: In Chinese, calling someone “older brother” 哥 (ge) or 哥哥 (gege) can have the connotation of boyfriend. And calling someone “younger sister” 妹妹 (meimei) can have the connotation of girlfriend.]

Chapter 146 – Extremely Embarrassing and Awkward 

Before Qiu Jin got on the horse, the action instructor was worried and asked again, “Everything good?”

“Yes. I will be careful.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he leveraged himself up using the horse’s body, slung one long leg up and across the horse’s back, and then he was sitting astride the horse.

This series of neat actions made many people feel relieved. They would not be able to assume the responsibility if something bad happened.

Qiu Jin had developed a relationship with this horse at noon. When the horse realized that it was Qiu Jin sitting atop his back, he became excited. The horse raised his front legs, wanting to run about wildly.

The filming lasted until seven o’clock in the evening, and the last shot was of Qiu Jin galloping on horseback. ​

The young man viewed through the lens was so free and energetic, as if he was integrated with the vast world.

Everyone present was attracted by this scene, and no one even noticed that Ji Shenxiao had arrived at the scene wearing sunglasses.

Qiu Jin was incredible before the lenses and he was also able to endure hardships. After this day’s shooting, the advertisers and photographers were full of praises for him. ​

It’s just that his body had to endure a lot of work today. When Qiu Jin dismounted, his legs were trembling and he was almost unable to stand still. ​

“Are you okay?” Liu Wei came over in a timely manner to offer him a hand.

“It’s nothing,” Qiu Jin hissed, “Just support me for a bit.”

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

In order to express a wild type of beauty, they did not put a saddle on the horse, and Qiu Jin only wore a pair of thin linen shorts when he was riding the horse. During the horse ride, his inner thighs were rubbed raw and the skin was torn. What’s even more terrifying was that unspeakable place in the lower body…

Liu Wei carried his bag on his back and helped Qiu Jin walk off set.

“Are you sure? Do your legs hurt?” Liu Wei was still worried. “How about I carry you?”

“Don’t cause trouble, it’s only a few steps away.” Qiu Jin waved his hand, thought for a while and then said, “You can go back by yourself, I’m not going with you.”

Liu Wei’s eyes widened: “Then how are you leaving?”

“Someone is coming to pick me up.”

“Who is it?”

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared in front of him. The man was tall and well-fitted in a suit. He originally had an expression that would keep strangers away. However, when he saw Qiu Jin, it was as if the ice and snow had melted, and happy warmth appeared on his grave and stern face.

Ji Shenxiao extended a hand, “I’m here to pick you up.”

Qiu Jin was afraid of being seen, so he quickly turned his back to the staff, and asked anxiously: “Why did you come out?”

“I told you I would pick you up.”

As soon as Ji Shenxiao finished speaking, he put his hand on Qiu Jin’s waist and picked him up.

Moreover, it was a princess carry!

Qiu Jin: “!!”

“What are you doing? Put me down quickly!”

“Don’t make a ruckus. Are you trying to attract their attention?” Ji Shenxiao spoke into his ear. Because he didn’t want other people to hear him, his voice was pitched extremely low. On top of that, his voice was deep and husky. It tickled Qiu Jin’s ear.

Of course he didn’t want anyone to come over. Qiu Jin’s ears were also a little red. He held his breath for a long while before he found his voice: “Then, then you should leave quickly.”

Ji Shenxiao’s lips curled up into a smile: “As you command.”

Some staff members noticed what was going on and asked them if anything was wrong.

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

On one hand Qiu Jin urged Ji Shenxiao to leave quickly, on the other hand he had given in to the situation and hid his face against the other person’s chest, wishing he could dig a hole and bury himself in it. ​

Ji Shenxiao had long legs. His gait was fast and steady, and he soon left the staff members looking at each other in confusion.

“Who was that?”

“Could that man be his bodyguard?”

“Which bodyguard has such presence? Just looking at the back of his head, he looks like a very handsome guy.”

“Maybe he’s a friend, love interest, or something like that.”

“I don’t think so. This is too high profile.”

“Then, it’s a bodyguard, I guess. I just don’t understand, why a princess carry?”

“By the way, something was wrong with Qiu Jin when he was walking just now.”

“Ah, the skin must’ve gotten damaged while riding the horse. It’s my fault that I didn’t pay attention and didn’t ask more questions.”

At this point, everyone suddenly realized, that’s right, Qiu Jin didn’t take the initiative to complain, and they didn’t pay particular attention to it, but it must be quite serious, right? After all, he had to be carried away by the bodyguard.

Even so, this bodyguard was too handsome, right? And he has a good disposition. Was he chosen based on his looks?

One staff member was so moved that he even took a photo and posted it on Weibo.

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

“Qiu Jin is so dedicated. He sat on a horse for several hours while filming the commercial today. His legs were injured yet he didn’t even mention it. He was very professional from start to finish and completed the filming well. When he left, he had to be carried away by his bodyguard. P.S. This bodyguard is a bit handsome.”

Qiu Jin’s fans immediately poured in.

-Ahh! Capture Xiao Qiuqiu!-

-Wu wu wu, our child has worked hard! Be sure to take care of yourself!-

–Gege is still as beautiful as ever. This satisfies my pretty face quota for the day!-

Even if they were beaten to death, they would not have thought that this so-called bodyguard was Ji Shenxiao, the president of Huayi Group, a man who was so cold and distant that he seemed to be otherworldly. ​

Even if he was beaten to death, Qiu Jin would never think that netizens would capture the back of Ji Shenxiao’s head and create an entire sweet drama in their imaginations.

Chapter 175 – Historically Memorable Villainy Arc 

Seeing that Lu Li was in good spirits and had no intention of expressing displeasure with his offense the previous night, Song Rong finally felt relieved and leaned on the soft pillow with Lu Li’s body in his arms.

“I asked them to get some hot water. Unfortunately, there’s not much of it. You’re sick and should be well cared for…”

“It’s thanks to wangye that I’m not in the Heavenly Prison right now.” Su Shi said hoarsely. He draped the court attire over his shoulders. He wanted to prop himself up but all of a sudden he faintly felt that something was not right.

Song Rong thought that he could at least have Lu Li wipe his face, so he went to soak a cloth in hot water, but then he heard a muffled sound from behind him.

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

He turned around in a hurry and his pupils abruptly shrunk. He dropped the cloth and hurried over.

Lu Li had fallen to his knees on the floor. He was holding on to the edge of the couch with one hand and struggling to stand up. Just when it seemed like he could support himself with his own strength, he slumped back down.

The man himself didn’t seem to know what was going on. There was a hint of confusion in his usually cold and indifferent eyes. He was still trying in vain, but his legs were not working at all.

Song Rong hurriedly carried Lu Li back to the couch. He was worried and panicked. He pressed against Lu Li’s legs with gentle pressure. “How is it? Do you feel any pain? Perhaps it’s from lying down for too long…”

“It’s not a big matter. There is still feeling,” Su Shi responded even though he had yet to figure out what was wrong with his body. With the support of the couch, he once again sat up.

Song Rong was not as indifferent as him. He frowned and apologized. Then he carefully rolled up the other man’s trousers to reveal his knees. They were red and swollen, and hot to the touch.

“Qing Guang… do you not feel pain…?”

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

Fortunately, Lu Li was not seriously injured. Song Rong’s extremely tense mood eased a little and he breathed a sigh of relief. He warmed up his hands and carefully pressed them to Lu Li’s knees.

“How about this? Is it better?”

The analgesic that he took was still in effect so Su Shi really did not feel much pain. He nodded subconsciously to Song Rong’s inquiry, but felt a vague foreboding feeling in his heart.

“This is an old injury. I usually take good care of it so it doesn’t flare up. But due to the humidity, cold temperatures, and recent snowfall, it started to act up again.”

Although he was quite frightened by the situation just now, no matter what, old wounds were better than new wounds.

Song Rong warmed his knees for him. His original worries dissipated, but he couldn’t help raising his head to look up at Lu Li. “Qing Guang, what kind of injury did you receive? How come it left behind such a sequela? Why did you not care for the injury at the time when you received it?”

This situation was not good.

Su Shi’s heart suddenly sank as he finally recalled what caused this sequela.

He couldn’t answer, but he couldn’t maintain his silence either. If Song Rong discovers the connection between these two matters, he would definitely become suspicious.

Song Rong didn’t know what the other man was thinking, but he didn’t want to have him endure it silently. After a moment of hesitation, he stood up and once again carefully covered Lu Li with the brocade quilt.

“I’ll go out and take a look. I’ll be back soon.”

Su Shi was lost in thought and just nodded at Song Rong’s words.

Song Rong quickly walked out of the door and nodded at the concerned imperial bodyguard outside the door.

“Thank you for the hot water this morning. Do you have any medicine for treating wounds?”

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

The emperor did not allow Lu Li to receive special care, but the imperial guards secretly couldn’t bear it. So as long as it was something they could help with, they would secretly do what they could.

The leader of the imperial guards nodded at Song Rong’s inquiry. “Yes, but the effects of the medicine are just average. It’s something that we use on the down low.” He handed the medicine over and also asked, “The weather is bad today. Did the right minister’s leg injury flare up again?”

Song Rong’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart jumped inexplicably, but his expression became calmer. “You guys also know about it?”

“I know. It happened five years ago. Probably around this time of the year… Prime Minister Lu was just serving in the Zhongshu Province at the time. I heard that something happened in the army, but I don’t know exactly what happened. He actually knelt on the stone steps outside the palace for three whole days. No matter how many people tried to persuade him, he refused to listen. In the end, he was exhausted both physically and mentally. He vomited blood and passed out, and was sent back to his home.”

Probably remembering the situation at that time, the imperial guard shook his head and sighed, “After that, Prime Minister Lu’s behavior was never the same as before…”

Chapter 49 – Case Solved (18.1)

Hurry. Hurry.

Song Meng ran in the dim garden. His hair was messed up by branches and his hands were scratched by rose thorns, but he paid it no mind. His mind was filled with one thought only. He needed to find the omega in heat as soon as possible.

“Young Master, wait for me!” The gray-haired butler chased after him breathlessly.

He remembered that the location was just up ahead!

Song Meng turned a deaf ear to his butler and ran even faster than before. His calves were getting heavier and his throat was aching as if it was about to explode. Song Meng turned around the dense bushes and suddenly froze there.

In front of him, two bodies were tightly entangled. The omega in heat was wearing his cloak, and his exposed skin was a crude sight for Song Meng’s eyes. The alpha was wearing high-end formal attire that Song Meng had custom-ordered. Those lips that had once pledged undying love to him were now impatiently kissing the lips of another person.

An explosion went off in Song Meng’s head. He stared at this scene intently. His stomach churned and he retched violently.

Absolutely disgusting.

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

How could such a disgusting thing happen?

Why did he have to see such a disgusting scene?

“Young Master!” The butler’s voice came from behind.

Song Meng suddenly returned to his senses. He was so shocked that he could hardly stay standing. He could only hold on to a tree branch tightly in panic.

He Guangzong was clutching the other omega’s waist. When he heard the butler’s voice, he raised his head. His brain, which was controlled by the heat, suddenly became clear and the flush on his face disappeared instantly.

“Mengmeng?” He Guangzong’s eyes widened, and his face was full of visible fear.

Song Meng stood there motionlessly, watching everything coldly. He felt as if his soul had drifted away from his body, leaving only an empty shell.

He Guangzong’s body was shaking like he was having an epileptic seizure. He recklessly rushed over to hug Song Meng, but he forgot that he had knotted inside the omega, and when he pulled out hard, not only did he fail to extricate himself, but he also screamed in pain.

At the same time, the butler caught up to Song Meng. He was gasping for breath as he asked, “Have you found the person?”

“I went the wrong way.” Song Meng turned away coldly, blocking the butler’s sight. “We should take that road.”

……

“Mengmeng! I was wrong! Please don’t ignore me, okay?” Five minutes later, He Guangzong knelt in front of Song Meng, begging him with a sad look on his face.

Song Meng immediately shook off his hand: “Let me go! We’ve broken up!”

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

“I thought he was you! It’s true! Please believe me.” He Guangzong chased after him on his knees, anxiously saying, “It was so dark in the garden, he was wearing the same clothes as you, and he was also in heat. I thought it was you. I’ve begged you so many times, you finally agreed to give yourself to me, I was so happy, I just… I couldn’t restrain myself…”

“He Guangzong!” Song Meng slapped him, shaking with anger. “If you have any brains, you would know that I won’t seduce you in a garden opened to other people!”

“Then why did you ask me to go to the garden so late at night?”

“I…” Song Meng was full of resentment, but after seeing He Guangzong’s face, it turned into deep disgust.

Forget it, it didn’t matter anymore.

Bang. Bang.

Brilliant fireworks bloomed above their heads, and the dazzling sparks fell like shooting stars, attracting countless people to stop and watch.

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

However, Song Meng strode out without looking up.

Originally, he had wanted to invite He Guangzong into the garden to watch the fireworks together…

“F*ck, this old lady is so mad! What kind of scumbag is this? It would’ve been fine if it was you?”

In the living room of the Song family, Xu Jing’an was so angry after hearing the whole story that she cursed.

“Normal people would rush the omega to a hospital if they see one in heat, but he just took of his pants and mounted the omega? What a beast.”

An Ji frowned and asked, “So you also helped He Guangzong by creating a false testimony?”

Chapter 156.1 – Changeable Situation

Three days after the incident happened, an official immediately wrote a petition to impeach the Pu family.

The impeachment memorial did not mention adultery at all. Instead, it targeted the Pu family for accepting bribes and forming cliques for personal gain over the years.

It was impossible for any big family, especially a famous family like the Pu family, to be completely clean. Therefore, under the instruction of Emperor Chong Ming, the officials wrote up to five memorials to impeach the Pu family. Emperor Chong Ming was determined to deal with the Pu family. Even Zhang Sun Cheng De did not dare to plea leniency for the Pu family in the imperial court.

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

In the end, Pu Song Yong and his father were dismissed from their government posts. Originally, Pu Zhen Cheng just wanted to return home to recuperate, but in the end, this temporary rest became an eternal vacation.

But the Pu family was still considered lucky.

In situations like this, the family would usually have their house searched and possessions confiscated. But Emperor Chong Ming decided to let the Pu family go for the sake of his imperial aunt. However, the Pu family would not be allowed to serve as officials in the imperial court from now on.

Although he was spared from a complete disaster, this result still made Pu Zhen Cheng’s* head turn gray overnight. They were not allowed to serve as officials in the imperial court. This meant that the Pu family would only gradually decline in the future.

[*T/N: Based on the context of the following paragraph, I think the author meant to say Pu Song Yong (the son) here instead of Pu Zhen Cheng (the father)…]

Despite this, he did not dare to tell his old father – who was living a leisurely life away from the imperial court while he recuperated – about this matter. His father was already very old. If he found out about this matter, who knew what would happen to his health?

On the fifth day, Pu Song Yong went to Prince Wu’s Mansion to discuss the matter with the eldest prince, Fu Yuan Wu. He really didn’t expect that the matter would become so serious.

Now that the Pu family was in decline, his wife’s maternal family decided to cut ties with them. His only son no longer recognized him as a father. The only person he could go to for help was his son-in-law.

The steward of Prince Wu’s Mansion came out. Pu Song Yong went up to greet him, but the steward said, “Pu-daren, please leave. Wangye said he is really busy and does not have time to see you.”

Pu Song Yong’s entire body immediately turned cold and his eyes widened in disbelief.

As soon as the Pu family fell into decline, his son-in-law actually burned the bridge after crossing the river*.

[*T/N: “to burn the bridge after crossing the river” is a figurative speech meaning “to abandon one’s benefactor upon achieving one’s goal”]

His daughter was still that man’s wangfei!

“No, I must see my son-in-law today. I have very important things to discuss with him.” Pu Song Yong yelled, wanting to rush inside.

The steward had already guessed that this would be the case and immediately ordered two servants to stop him. Pu Song Yong had been living in a position of dignity for many years and had no physical strength at all, so he was easily stopped by the two servants.

“Pu-daren, this insignificant one is just conveying wangye’s words. Please don’t make things hard for me.”

The steward did not dare to let the servants hurt Pu Song Yong. The Pu family might have lost power, but Pu Song Yong’s daughter was still the mistress of Prince Wu’s Mansion. Unless she commits some terrible mistake in the future, she would always be their wangfei. And if she found out that they treated her father horribly, she would not let them get off easy.

Pu Song Yong stopped struggling.

The steward thought that he had been convinced and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But Pu Song Yong just knew that a head-on confrontation would do no good to him. After calming down, he said to the steward: “Steward, go and tell your wangye that if he does not see me, then I might not keep mum about a certain matter.”

For his son-in-law, he not only sacrificed his official career, but also the Pu family. Since his son-in-law was being heartless, he would just have to return tit-for-tat.

The steward saw that Pu Song Yong was serious. After hesitating for a bit, he agreed.

He conveyed Pu Song Yong’s words verbatim to the wangye and saw the wangye’s expression change.

“Let him in.”

The steward didn’t dare to think too much and immediately went out to bring Pu Song Yong inside.

As soon as Pu Song Yong saw the heartless Fu Yuan Wu, he couldn’t help letting out a sarcastic sneer.

“My good son-in-law, as your father-in-law, it’s really hard to see you!”

It was all thanks to him that Fu Yuan Wu got to where he was today. Before, he had extravagant expectations that Fu Yuan Wu would help the Pu family. He didn’t think that the man would be such a thankless wretch.

“If you have anything to say, just say it.”

Fu Yuan Wu’s face was full of impatience. He had been very close to the Pu family before, but since the Pu family was no longer useful, there was no need for him to be nice to the Pu family anymore. This was the kind of man that he was. It’s not like this was the first time the Pu family saw him acting like this. When it came to useless chess pieces, he got rid of them without batting an eye!

Of course Pu Song Yong knew, but he never thought that the Pu family would be one of those chess pieces.

Chapter 119 – Temporary Imperial Residence, Part 2 (39.1)

In Pei County, the Lin family received a visit from County Head Magistrate Du. Lin Da Zhuang, his wife, and Lin Jia Wen were all there to welcome the county head magistrate. Zhang Hui Niang personally served tea to County Head Magistrate Du.

“Daren, please have some tea.”

County Head Magistrate Du graciously took the tea and said with a smile, “This official has just received some good news. His Royal Highness and Lin-cejun have arrived at the temporary imperial residence in Li Province. His Royal Highness specially issued an order to have guards come escort Lin-cejun’s family to the temporary imperial residence in Li Province to reunite with Lin-cejun.”

The Lin family was very excited when they heard the good news.

Zhang Hui Niang cried with joy, “What wonderful news. We haven’t seen Jia Bao for several years now. I wonder if he has gotten taller or fatter. His Royal highness is so kind!”

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

Lin Jia Wen gave County Head Magistrate Du a fist and palm salute*, “Thank you for coming in person to tell us this good news. This student** cannot thank you enough.”

[*T/N: 抱拳 bao quan – to cup one’s fist in the other hand as a sign of respect]

[**T/N: Lin Jia Wen calls himself a student because he is studying for the imperial exam. County Head Magistrate Du is not actually his teacher.]

“Lin-juren*, you are too polite. This official is only carrying out his duties. Upon receiving instructions from His Royal Highness, I came at once to give you the good news. In two days, His Royal Highness will send guards to pick you up, and I will also send some agents to escort you. You should all make preparations in the next two days. Also, His Royal Highness has instructed us to also escort the Qin family to the temporary imperial residence for the reunion. This official has already sent someone to deliver the news to them. I believe they should also be aware of the news by now. Then, this official will take his leave now.” After County Head Magistrate Du explained everything, he bid goodbye, leaving behind the Lin family who were still up in cloud nine.

[*T/N: 举人 ju ren – successful candidate in the imperial provincial examination]

The two younger ones of the Lin family jumped up happily when they got the news that they were going to see their second brother. ​​

Wu Qiaolan, who was carrying her son in her arms, was also very excited. She said to her chubby son, “Bo Ge Er, we are going to meet your Uncle Jia Bao. We’re going to the temporary imperial residence. That’s where the emperor lives.”

Lin Jia Wen’s son, Lin Guang Bo, was already two years old. After hearing his mother’s words, he yelled inarticulately: “Uncle Bao! Uncle Bao!” His cuteness made everyone in the Lin family laugh.

The Qin family was very excited when they received the news sent by the county magistrate.

Old Master Qin smiled from ear to ear, “To be able to go to the temporary imperial residence is really a great honor.”

Madam Qin said, “I told you that our Jin Er is a lucky one. Our Qin family is going to the temporary imperial palace, ah. We should prepare well over these next two days. We must observe propriety.”

Two days later, Lin Da Zhuang’s family and Qin Kai Xing’s family each occupied two carriages and left Pei County under the escort of a large number of guards.

They traveled along the main road, but before they could get far, they found a carriage blocking their way.

“Identify yourselves!” the leader of the guards shouted.

Several guards came forward to check the carriage. That was when several people got off the carriage one after another. It turned out to be Lin Da Li’s family. Lin Da Li and Ke Mei Li had brought along their second daughter, Lin Zia Er, and their son, Lin Jia Cai. There was also Lin Chun Er and her husband Wang Sue Bo.

Lin Da Li shouted nervously to the guards, “We’re part of the Lin family, we’re part of the Lin family.”

The leader of the guards turned to Lin Da Zhuang and the others for instructions. Lin Da Zhuang, Lin Jia wen, and Qin Kai Xing got off the carriage. Lin Da Zhuang saw Lin Da Li and asked, “Da Li, why are you people here?”

“Big Brother, we heard that you are going to the temporary imperial palace to see Jia Bao, ah. We also haven’t seen Jia Bao in a long time. We rather miss him. So we came here. We’ve been waiting for you guys for half a day already.” As Lin Da Li spoke, he looked over at Qin Kai Xing. Then he added, “I say, Big Brother, you’re bias. You even invited the Qin family. How could you forget your own younger brother? No matter what, I am Jia Bao’s second uncle. Now that my nephew has become successful, how can you not let us go visit the temporary imperial palace with you?!”

T/N: Got a little annoyed while translating Lin Da Li’s dialogue. Just wanna tell those thick-skinned idiots to go take a hike. Hope XYHC puts them in their place.

Chapter 114 – Elder Brother… 

While Spring Flower No. 4 was on the market, Duan Shu Tong received an email from the editorial department of “Life.”

The other party was obviously very interested in his thesis and asked him many professional questions. After receiving satisfactory answers, he indicated that this paper would be published in the next issue.

This was with in Duan Shu Tong’s expectation. Now he was more concerned about the clinical trials of the new drug.

It has passed the CFDA review, and the next step is to wait for a professional testing institution to be in charge of clinical trials.

Time passed by in the blink of an eye. Soon it was December and Christmas was approaching. Merchants were using the festival as a marketing gimmick. The mall was overcrowded. When Duan Shu Tong went shopping in the supermarket, it was difficult for him to push a shopping cart around.

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

When he finally made it to the checkout line, he passed by the retail shelf next to the cash register and his eyes fell on a box of “small umbrellas” by accident.

Just as he was hesitating, the person behind him asked if he was going or not. Duan Shu Tong subconsciously took a step forward. He accidentally bumped the box with his elbow and knocked it to the floor with a pah sound.

……

The surroundings were quiet, and it seemed that everyone’s eyes were on him. Duan Shu Tong’s face continued to heat up. He immediately bent down to pick up the box, put it back on the shelf, and lowered his head to take out the things he bought.

The cashier glanced at him and was stunned for a few seconds before recovering. What a handsome guy, but why was his face so red? However, he was still so good looking.

After checking out, Duan Shu Tong left the supermarket as if the devil was on his tail. The cold wind outside slapped him in the face and sobered him up.

It was just a box of small umbrellas. There was nothing to be ashamed of. The people probably weren’t even looking at him back there.

At that moment, the embarrassed Duan Shu Tong did not know that the paper he had published in a journal was causing heated discussions among many experts.

Wang Rong Qian, a nephrology specialist at the First People’s Hospital of Yan City, just got out of the operating room when a doctor from the same department came over with a journal, “Director Wang, this is the latest issue, and there is an article in it that you’ll probably be interested in.”

Support the translator. Read this on: vmnovels.com

Wang Rong Qian sat on a chair and took a look. At first he was attracted by the title and asked, “A new type of drug? It can restore kidney function?”

He shook his head, thinking that it was unlikely, but he continued to read patiently.

These essays also had different levels. Wang Rong Qian had only read through a few lines before the author’s sophisticated writing captivated him. Even if this paper had no practical value, the author’s prowess could be seen just based on the author’s profound knowledge.

Just as he was about to continue reading, he suddenly received a phone call. Wang Rong Qian had no choice but to put down the journal and answer the call from his respected teacher first.

“Teacher, it’s so late. You’re not resting yet?”

On the other end of the phone, the old man’s huffy voice sounded, “Have you read the article in the new issue of “Life” yet? Hurry up if you haven’t read it!”

Wang Rong Qian replied, “…Teacher, are you referring to the article about restoring kidney function? I just started reading it.”

Then read it first and call me back after reading it.” The old man then hung up the phone.

His mentor specifically called him to recommend this article. This caused Wang Rong Qian to finally changed his attitude and read through the article seriously.

The more he read, the greater his shock became. He frowned, his eyes were bright, and he stood up abruptly while holding the journal, “How is that possible!”

After a while, he muttered to himself again: “But it seems to make sense.”

Seeing him like this, the on looking doctor couldn’t help but think of his own shock when he read the article before. He was worried that he was shortsighted, but now seeing the director’s appearance like this, he couldn’t help but feel a little comforted.

To be honest, after he read the paper, his whole body was full of excitement.

Seeing many patients suffering from pain, it would be great if there were such a drug that could save tens of thousands of patients with kidney disease.

Chapter 145 – Extremely Embarrassing and Awkward

On the day of filming, the skies were sunny and clear. When Qiu Jin arrived to the filming location, the members of the work crew were also arriving at the beach.

Coco was the art director of this project. When Qiu Jin got out of the car, she was secretly watching him. Yes, Coco was a yangou*. She has been involved in the fashion industry for many years and has a keen and wild intuition about beauty. ​

[*T/N: yangou 颜狗 – a type of person who has no resistance to anything with good looks. Usually used to laugh at oneself.]

As soon as Qiu Jin came out, she knew he was the best. He had a body shape between a teenager and a young man, and a candid smile. However, the most enchanting thing was the charm he conveyed nonchalantly. ​

It was difficult to have a standard for such a thing as charm. It depended on the control of the model and the director. One point less would not be sexy enough and one point more would come across as smarmy.

But Qiu Jin never seemed to have this kind of trouble. His movements, expressions, and smiles were all so natural and vivid, yet so dazzling that people couldn’t take their eyes away from him.

Coco finally understood why their president insisted on having Qiu Jin be the brand ambassador for this perfume. There was really no one more suitable than him. ​

The morning light sprinkled over the satiny beach. Right now, they needed to shoot a few scenes of Qiu Jin interacting with the seawater.

A waterproof camera was set up on the surface of the sea. Qiu Jin took off his T-shirt and trousers and walked towards the middle.

Coco was quite reserved at first. After all, she was only a fenyan*, and she has seen so many celebrities and models throughout her career, so she has already learned how to maintain a calm expression.

[*T/N: fenyan 粉颜 – someone who only likes celebrities for their looks, so their interest in a celebrity doesn’t last very long. They will like whichever good-looking celebrity is in front of them at the moment and forget about them when they turn their head and see another good-looking person.]

But the moment Qiu Jin took off his T-shirt, she was still dazzled.

Holy shit! What was this divine specimen?

The swimming trunks wrapped around his mermaid line* in a tantalizing manner. In the back it wrapped around a small portion of his perky buttocks, exposing the exquisite line of his back and the sensual dip of his lower back…!

[*T/N: according to Baidu, mermaid line refers to the external oblique muscles]

Who could resist this?!

His waistline was so good! It must be so enchanting when he moves…

Stop it! Don’t think about it!

No. I want to [think about it]!

Who didn’t like a younger wolf dog? She could totally go for him! Omega x omega was also possible! She will make a move!

“Coco-jie, what’s wrong?” Seeing the strange expression on her face, the assistant thought there was something wrong and hurriedly came over to ask her. ​

“It’s nothing.” Coco calmed down her expression and regained her seriousness as a young leader. ​

Stop your raging thoughts. You are a cosmopolitan person. You cannot be a love-struck fool!

Liu Wei secretly glanced at the young lady next to him. She must’ve been impressed by Jin-ge’s good looks, right? He felt like he could empathize. This was the first time that he intuitively felt that Qiu Jin was really about to take off [in the entertainment field].

The people looked at Qiu Jin with surprise and admiration. There was no longer the disgust that they once held for him.

Along with Qiu Jin’s skills, this was only the first step in taking off.

Because it was a foreign brand, Liu Wei was surrounded by blond and blue-eyed foreigners. Liu Wei only knew a few words of primary school English and was completely confused. He never expected that Qiu Jin could talk to the other party calmly. During the conversation with the director, Qiu Jin exuded a focused and serious temperament that was so dazzling that people couldn’t take their eyes away.

The director was from France. The camera language used was gentle and affectionate, bright and erotic, but not vulgar and pornographic. ​

On the sparkling sea, Qiu Jin floated among the waves in his gray swimming trunks. The blue water rippled across his chest and splashed against his collarbone.

The director’s lens was very close to the subject, like a human’s eyes, and you can clearly see the texture of the skin, the flow of the sea water, and the golden halo left by the sun in the water. ​

The camera gradually moved up, climbing up the chest inch by inch, sliding over the Adam’s apple, the full-colored lips, the high bridge of the nose, and finally stopped at the eyes.

The young man in front of the camera has beautiful wild eyebrows. His eyelashes were wetted by water and bunched together, and his eyes were sparkling. When he looked at the camera, he seemed to be looking at his most cherished thing.

The camera zoomed out to reveal the fresh and sunny smile of the young man, as bright as the sun. ​

Even the director was stunned for a moment, this person was incredible!

They would surely be able to sell out the perfume just by relying on his face alone to promote the product.

These shots seemed simple, but it took several hours of back and forth shooting to capture what the director wanted. ​

At noon, when the sunlight was directly overhead, it was not suitable for filming. So they waited until three o’clock in the afternoon before going out to shoot again. This was also the most difficult part of this shooting session, which was to film him atop a horse.

In Western culture, horses were a symbol of strength and sexual desire. Many perfume advertisements prefer horse elements, especially foreign photographers. Young men, young ladies, and even men of steel could all be paired with horses, and various interpretations were common. ​

Somehow they had procured a pure white Arabian horse for the shoot, saying that it was to embody the spirit of chivalry and free will. The scene that Qiu Jin needed to shoot included, but were not limited to, interacting with the horse, riding on the horse with his face up against the horses neck, and galloping across the beach on the horse.

The scenes on horseback would be the most difficult parts of this shoot.
