Chapter 21 Shui Shang Temple was on fire
Duan Xiaolou went back to the Taoist Temple. He heard He Danggui was in the Medicine Room to put the medicines in order, so he leaped on the roof and jumped in front of the Medicine Room within seconds.“I’m sorry about the mess here, otherwise you wouldn’t have to clean here.” Duan Xiaolou said apologetically, “I know some herbal medicines. Let me help you.”He Danggui shook her head, “Childe Duan, you don’t have to apologize. I should thank you instead. If you hadn’t messed here, I couldn’t have had the chance to come here easily to take the medicine. And what’s the result about the previous incident?”Duan Xiaolou looked at her softly, “As you expected, the two vicious women took my money from you but took the nuns to the brothel simultaneously. I called a few yamen runners to sue for their ‘seek for two buyers with only one goods’ crime. Then, they searched them and found the 50 liang silver I told them before. Therefore, they sent them to

Chapter 22 Who was the arsonist?
Tai Shan was eased that the fire was put out, but what Lu Jiangbei said really made her sacred. His last words almost scared the hell out of her. Tai Shan stood up trembling and turned around to face all the Taoist nuns. She stared at them like a predator and said very loudly, “Who did this? Tell me who cooked here and set the fire!”But no one replied. All the 77 nuns kept silent.Tai Shan was so pissed off that her body shook badly. She yelled again, “No matter who did this, if you could step up right now, you will live. Otherwise, if you get exposed later, I will kill you for sure!”Still everyone looked at each other. No one came out to confess.Tai Shan was determined and yelled out loud, “Anyone who exposes the arsonist, I will give her 20, no, 30 liang silver as a reward now!”Whispers in the crowd were like buzzes. After a while, a tall and fat middle-aged Taoist nun pointed at a nun on her right, who was lowin

Chapter 23 Fail to find a scapegoat
As time went by, the Taoist nuns gathered to whisper and took quick glances at those 4 tall and handsome men from time to time.Most people were pleased inwardly. In this way, He Danggui would get in trouble. How could she, just a little girl, capture the fancy of officials and be protected by them! Bah! And she even wanted to compete with them for men! Naive! Although they got internal conflict with Huai Xin, without Tai Chen’s protection, they could easily deal with her later. But He Danggui was known as “the daughter of the official”. Bullshit! She was no nobler than them from head to toe. They couldn’t bully her at ordinary times, but this time, they wouldn’t let the chance escape easily.Duan Xiaolou and Liao Zhiyuan stood under a poplar in the alley while Lu Jiangbei and Gao Jue closed their eyes for a rest.Liao Zhiyuan rolled his cat-like eyes with his arm rounded Gao Jue, “Hey, Master Cool Face, are you still in that philter’s effect?

Chapter 24 The so-called personality stain
Duan Xiaolou was holding a pink wool cloak. His chest moved up and down. There were full of stars deep inside his dark eyes. He didn’t say a word, but opened the cloak directly and wrapped it around He Danggui. Then he tied the mixed satin ribbon into a bowknot carefully.He Danggui frowned. She was struggling in her mind, “I can’t do this anymore. No matter he has other thoughts or he’s just like what Lu Jiangbei said—so enthusiastic to girls. He had done too much.”She couldn’t accept this kind of care, and he offered his gentleness to the wrong person.Lu Jiangbei noticed He Danggui’s inconspicuous expression. And he thought she was not accustomed to showing her intimacy in front of others, so he changed the topic hastily, “What should we do now? How about… letting the yamen runners search through the Taoist Temple?”This scared the hell out of Tai Shan.All the IOUs she got from usury were locked in the closet besi

Chapter 25 The best gold lock
He Danggui spoke nothing, and looked at Huai Dong whose hair was disheveled. She clearly remembered Huai Dong’s face with a mole on the nose.In the previous life, He Danggui lived in the wood house of the backyard, which was administrated by Huai Dong. At the beginning, there was no bed in the wood house. In the twelfth month of the lunar year, she slept on the damp and moldy straw, which caused eczema on her back.After a period of time, Huai Dong suddenly became friendly to He Danggui. She formed a makeshift bed in the wood house, and prepared a used quilt for her. He Danggui was very grateful to Huai Dong. Gradually, she regarded the wood house as her home. She was afraid that her gold lock would be broken when she did menial work, so she hid it under the bed.More than ten days later, the gold lock was lost. He Danggui was so regretful and worried, so she cried loudly. However, Huai Dong suddenly rushed in without the friendly face in the

Chapter 26 Unmarried Taoist nun had a child
With a pale complexion, Huai Dong crawled towards Duan Xiaolou and He Danggui, kowtowed to them three times and cried, “Spare me. Spare me, please! Although I had stolen the gold lock, I really did not set the fire! Master, with your penetrating judgement, I kept the gold lock in my clothes and never took it out. How could it be stained with charcoal ashes and printed on the wall?”He Danggui sneered and thought, “Of course, you hadn’t printed it, because I engraved the pattern with a turnip and let Duan Xiaolou print it on the wall. Huai Dong, I was framed by you in the previous life, and you played tricks with me again in this life. It must be fate.”Duan Xiaolou frowned at Huai Dong with disheveled hair and pale face. He couldn’t bear to see this and said in a serious voice, “The case of arson can be investigated slowly, but there are irrefutable proofs for your theft. According to the law of the imperial court, the heaviest punishment for theft is exile

Chapter 27 Duan Xiaolou’s first expression of his love
Although He Danggui was a little astonished, she hid her shock with calm expression. Lu Jiangbei stopped for a moment and looked at her, so as to get some information from her eyes. But he only felt that the girl’s eyes were very different from those of others. Her eyes were as clear and deep as the water in the well under the moonlight. However, there were some cold things in her eyes, so he couldn’t see that clearly.Lu Jiangbei had to continue, “My name is Lu Jiangbei, and I work as an imperial guard. In September, 27th year of Hongwu Period, I was entrusted by Duan Xiaolou to seek a marriage alliance to Miss He. Childe Duan is the Childe of Earl Anning Ruting Mansion, and his military rank is the Deputy Fifth-Grade Military General. He also works as an imperial guard now...

Chapter 28 A second-rate martial master
In the previous life, He Danggui used to practice some martial arts. By that time, she had entered Lord Ning’s Mansion and gained the favor of Zhu Quan (Lord Ning), then she learned some martial arts from Zhu Quan’s followers. In order to help Zhu Quan better manage the affairs of “Wuying Tower”, she began with the most basic steps called Mabu (a basic standing position of martial arts in China) at 19, a very “old” age to practice kongfu.Since the Masters were all the subordinates of Zhu Quan and He Danggui was Zhu Quan’s concubine, it was inappropriate for them to teach her many martial arts which required to be taught intimately. Therefore, they only told her to hold a pile of books to study by herself. If she couldn’t do it, it would prove that she was not good enough to practice martial arts.She studied dazzled like this for several years. Fortunately, the five Masters who taught her the longest were all first-rate seniors, and they taught her a wide

Chapter 29 Tai Shan fainted twice
Zhen Jing didn’t take it seriously. She only thought that He Danggui was joking with her. But she suddenly thought of a drama happened in the Taoist Temple this morning. She didn’t care about what she was eating, but immediately began to tell it to He Danggui vividly.In the morning, on her way to fetch water, she passed the main hall and saw other nuns around the gate happily. So, Zhen Jing stood on tiptoe to see what happened. It turned out that Huai Dong and Huai Xin were quarreling in front of Tai Shan, much fiercer than last night.—Last night, Tai Shan went back to her room and thought for a while. As long as the case of stealing lock didn’t spread out and affect the reputation of the Taoist Temple, it would be a trivial matter. But now the fire had affected the imperial guards. Therefore, no matter how they defined the fire case, she must find out a scapegoat for the imperial guards, so that the Taoist Temple would not be implicated. Tai Shan chose H

Chapter 30 Love fell like leaves and rain
“Master Zhen Zhu, when will the Third Miss come out? It’s already been an hour since Ding Rong’s wife and I informed you. And our sedan costs 1 string of 1,000 qian every 2 hours. Could you…” Gao Dashan’s wife pouted her chin towards Ding Rong’s wife who was not far away, and told Zhen Zhu in a very low voice, “She’s the eyes and ears of Second Mistress Luo, and she would tell her everything she knew.”Under her guidance, Zhen Zhu saw a woman about 50 years old, thin and white in decent clothes.Ding Rong’s wife looked at the gate of Shui Shang Temple with full attention. Seeing someone coming out, she asked, “Has Miss He prepared yet? When can we set out? You know I’m a busy person.”Zhen Zhu turned around to see Gao Dashan’s wife, “Biddy Gao, forgive me. That day you left in such a hurry and I was clumsy to retell Miss He’s original words. It’s all my faults! Miss He said she planned to stay here until the 17th this month. However, today is t
