Hi guys, I’ve been super busy with the start of the new semester and work so this chapter came out really late. My schedule was packed and I just couldn’t squeeze in time for translation.
Some bad news regarding this novel. I’m thinking of dropping this novel and working on another novel. I’m just not feeling any motivation for this novel anymore, the plot is moving a bit slow for my liking and I’ve been thinking since the manhua version is being translated and it’s coming out faster, there’s really no point in translating the novel. Thanks for putting up with my slow translation this whole time. If you are interested in translating this novel despite the manhua version translation coming out faster, just email me at moonflower8151@gmail.com and send me a link of the next chapter so I can link it here. Again, thanks to all the readers and enjoy this chapter~
Just noticed this but the link to this chapter is chapter-23-2 I have no idea why it’s like that, just ignore it. There is no part 1 or part 2 this is a whole chapter.
Chapter 23 The exotic household
Wu LiuYun walks slowly in front of Wu SheYue with her head slightly held high. Originally, Wu LiuYun is slightly older than her so she is taller than Wu SheYue by half a head, with her slightly tilting her head high, her nostrils are facing Wu SheYue. Really does give off a feeling that she had become slightly taller. When Wu SheYue was braking, she felt that this sister, although she shows people an appearance of being indifferent to wealth and gain and is quiet and gentle, but deep down she is actually aloof and arrogant~ “From now on you have to learn more on the etiquettes from my mother. If it’s nothing big, then you can modestly ask the other sisters. A matter like today is to never happen again, the Prime Minister Manor can’t afford to lose face.” In her cold eyes pierced through the prestige of a dominator as if instructing a younger generation or…a servant who is on a lower level than her (LiuYun)?
T/N: her nostrils facing Wu SheYue. Lol, that image is too beautiful to look at. 🤣
Wu SheYue feels that what she said is very funny. “Are you talking to me?”
“What?” Wu LiuYun lifted a brow, in her eyes, there is always a trace of mockery.
T/N: Just to clarify for anyone who might not understand, the “what” here is not showing confusion it’s something along the lines of “What about it. Ya got beef with what I said?”
Wu SheYue pleasantly laughs, “It’s nothing, it’s just that I feel that eldest sister has a lot of prestige in her. Teaching me as if teaching a younger generation, really does have the demeanour of a main wife managing household affairs. To the people who don’t know, they will think that there is a crowd of sons and daughters under eldest sister’s knees~Mother is really amazing, eldest sister really does have the demeanour of a married woman.”
Hearing Wu SheYue self-deprecating herself as a younger generation, Wu LiuYun’s face does not look good, her willowy brows crease. “Don’t randomly put a hat on me! Also, whether you open or close your mouth it’s always things that you shouldn’t say coming out, a girl knowing no shame and bashfulness! Really don’t know how Yin shi taught you.”
“What you said is right~I was not in my right mind in the past so I was unable to learn these common senses. Looking at eldest sister, you really know a lot~similar to a woman who has married and gave birth~really is experienced!”
Wu LiuYun’s face is already pale, this Wu SheYue actually continues this thread of discourse without an end. Wu SheYue thought that Wu LiuYun will also make a disturbance. She (SheYue) is confident that she will be able to make Wu liuYun the second person to eat flies.
But she didn’t think that these so called legitimate young misses of ancient China are just different. Wu LiuYun maintains a calm bearing and says, “I will only say this much, whether you listen or not is up to you. If you bring shame to the Prime Minister Manor in the future, don’t blame me for not reminding you.” With that, she turns around to leave.
Wu SheYue walks behind Wu LiuYun, the edge of her mouth slightly hooking up. She thinks, in this family everyone is more clever than the other~Really is interesting~Inside QunXing room.
After all the noise, only Madam, Jiang QingXue, is left accompanying Old Madam. This spacious room appears particularly cold and cheerless. Seeing that Old Madam looks tired, Jiang QingXue poured a cup of tea and handed it to Old Madam, Old Madam reaches out a hand to take the cup, the temperature is just right.
Jiang QingXue worriedly says,“Mother~You really think…….YueEr got better herself? That’s just too miraculous. When I saw her today, it’s as if she was a different person.”
Old Madam takes a sip of the tea, not one bit like the amiable old lady from before. On the contrary, she looks dignified. “If it wasn’t that she looked similar to Yin QiuMing, I would also be suspicious whether or not she is my granddaughter. This change has made her seem more energetic…….but you don’t look happy.”
Jiang QingXue gently explains, “It’s not that, I just think it’s strange. How is it that overnight…….but now matter how I try to make sense of this strange matter, except for saying that it might’ve been God’s blessing, there is no other explanation.”
“From now on take good care of her, remind the servants to not embezzle Third guniang’s things anymore, afterall she is not an idiot anymore. You also, don’t be unhappy, put your gaze further. If YueEr’s mind does not get worse, then she can definitely marry into a good family. Anyhow, she doesn’t remember what happened in the past, you properly taking care of her now is not too late.
Jiang QingXue feels a little grievance, she gently bites the bottom of her lip, “Daughter in law understands, it’s just that…….”
Old Madam becomes a little angry, she pushes the tea to the table. “Since ancient times, what are the responsibilities of illegitimate daughters? Isn’t it to grow up and then help the legitimate born children and to support the whole family. When Third guniang marries into a good family, she will be helping LiuYun and ZiQi! Don’t tell me you still haven’t got over Yin QiuMing?”
A sliver of rage flashes past Jiang QingXue’s eyes but immediately disappears. “The person has already died, what’s there to remember about. I’m afraid that one day YueEr again will…….”
“She can better, that kind of matter always uses God to explain. If one day she does remember so what, a small illegitimate born child, do you think she can rebel.” Old Madam hmphs. “Alright, just do what you are supposed to do. These years I only have ZiQi and LiuYun to dot on. If you have the ability why don’t you help add one or two more offsprings to the Prime Minister Manor!”
“Yes, daughter in law understands.” Jiang QingXue bites her lip, is she blaming for not giving birth these two years? The Prime Minister has not even gone back to the manor as of late. If she was told that the Prime Minister does not have a mistress living outside, then even if you beat her to death she won’t even believe you!”

When Wu SheYue comes to the entrance of the courtyard holding QunXing room, NingEr is hiding behind a tree stomping her feet in anxiety. When she sees Wu SheYue come out, NingEr quickly runs over and anxiously says, “Miss! Miss, you, are you fine?”
“En, I won’t die.”
NingEr becomes very anxious, “Don’t say that…….”
Seeing Wu LiuYun up ahead, she pulls at NingEr’s sleeves and quickly says, “Let’s go.”
