PGR CH27

by DewdropTL — In the sixteenth year of the Yongming era, mid-winter, eleventh month. Restrained from desire for one day, no obstacles encountered, diligent in reading, good. The white snow blanketing the ground reflected a stark, blinding light. To prevent the students from dozing off, the master had specifically opened the windows. This was a misery for Ji Linxi, who sat at the back by the window. Once opened, the bone-chilling wind lashed against his entire body. He sat at his desk, his hands clutching his book…

PGR CH28

by DewdropTL — The cold wind raged as Chu Yu lightly stroked the sharp thorns of the bundle, as if genuinely considering whether such an instrument of torture could be put to use. Wang Chiyi, who had been certain the Crown Prince would never dare to whip him with this, suddenly lost his confidence. No way, right? Is he actually going to use this thing on me? He lowered his head and shot a fierce glare at his servant. This bundle of thorns was something he had ordered the servant to find; the servant, unaware it might…

by DewdropTL — The History master sat in silence for a long while before finally telling Ji Linxi to return to the classroom. Ji Linxi walked back at an unhurried pace. As he entered, he sensed hostile glares directed at him. He brushed off his robe with a dismissive flick, while maintaining an expression of someone shivering in the cold, and settled back into his seat by the window. The ancients said: to attack a man, one must first attack his heart; and to attack the heart, one must act according to the…

PGR CH30

by DewdropTL — Prime Minister Wang Yang had lost his uncle and a key subordinate in one fell swoop, and his mood was abysmal. If his uncle deserved to die, Prefect Song’s death had been a necessity. Had the Dali Temple unearthed the records of Song’s money-and-power schemes with the Prime Minister, the repercussions would have led directly to Wang Yang himself. Although he was the one who ordered the hit on his uncle’s family in prison, he had been forced into a corner—only with the dead silent in their cells…

by DewdropTL — Once Ji Linxi’s health improved after being rescued, he knelt before Master Huai Xiuyong—his history tutor—and Madame Qi, bowing his head to express his deepest gratitude for saving his life. Though he was a hypocritical, depraved, and licentious person, he was still human; the grace shown to him by the Master and his wife was something he truly kept in his heart. "Student will surely strive to repay Teacher and Madame Qi’s kindness in the future!" Madame Qi bent down, saying, "Oh, my, this…

by DewdropTL — Under the arrangement of the beautiful young master, Ji Linxi changed into a servant's clothes and returned to the place where he lived. Chang Xi dismissed the people in the courtyard. Ji Linxi uttered a word of thanks, quickly pushed open the door, and entered. With a creak, his back pressed against the door, and Ji Linxi could not wait to take out the ointment from his bosom. Holding it like this, he went to the bed, his eyes carefully admiring it. The ointment box body was already extremely…

by DewdropTL — He, too, wanted to live in a mansion like this, idling his life away in comfort until the day he died. After two continuous days of heavy, goose-feather snow, Yongcheng was nearly buried. Stepping into the snow outside the house would swallow a person’s calf halfway. Ji Linxi huddled under three layers of blankets, too lazy to get out of bed. But he had to. The Wang family, whom he had scammed... no, made an appointment with the day before yesterday, were expecting him at their manor today to…

by DewdropTL — Seeing that the banquet was about to come to an end, Prefect Song, who had been constantly filled with anxiety, also slowly put his heart at ease. Just as he raised his wine cup to drink, a voice suddenly resounded outside. "What are you going to do?" "Daoist Master Chu, you cannot go in right now!" Old Master Wang frowned and looked toward the housekeeper: "Go quickly and see what has happened." The housekeeper had only just walked a few steps outside when Ji Linxi and Chang Xi pushed past the…

by DewdropTL — The meals of the wealthy were truly something else; even the food of immortals couldn't be much better than this, right? By the time they reached the Junzi Pavilion, where the young master of the Wang family resided, Ji Linxi had gathered just about everything he wanted to know. "It was that wretched girl who didn't know what was good for her. I wanted to treat her well, but she insulted me, cursed me, and even stabbed me with her hairpin! I... I was just a little rough with her in a fit of…

by DewdropTL — Hearing this sentence from Old Master Wang's mouth, Zhao Yun was also resentful to the extreme, her voice like a cuckoo weeping blood: "Your Old Master Wang's son is nothing but a villain who commits all kinds of evils in Yongcheng! Your wealth and property! All come from blood and sweat money squeezed out from the common people! You buy rice at low prices! When the rice is almost entirely bought up, you sell it at high prices for money! Pei! Your entire family are beasts, would I go to seduce a beast?!…
