Half Moon Translation

 Chapter 12 Mooching off food and drinks Xie Jing originally wanted to hear more about what happened in the dream, specifically about the reasons behind his early death. Due to business commitments, I can only leave first. Jiang Youning withdrew her gaze and noticed that Jiang Yanran's pair of shear-water autumn eyes had been fixed on Xie Jing all along. In the dream's storyline, they did not break off the engagement; instead, Xie Jing decided to marry her. Speaking of which, it's a bit of dog blood. Jiang Xubai wanted to marry Jiang Yanran into the General's residence and arranged for Xie Jing to catch a glimpse of Jiang Yanran's body. However, due to Xie Jing's mind-reading ability, he accidentally ended up in her room. These days, Jiang Youning has made another peony velvet hairpin, even more exquisite than the previous rose one. "Chuntao, sell this peony for at least two taels of silver. After selling it, remember to buy half a pound of meat and bring i...

 Chapter 11 Greedy for Xie Jing~ Jiang Youning volunteered: "General, do you want me to help you?" Xie Jing stared at Jiang Youning for a moment, "En." Jiang Youning pointed at the poor hand that Xie Jing was holding onto her back, "General, please let go of me first." Xie Jing lowered his gaze to the hand he was holding onto. He didn't notice earlier when he grabbed it just now, but when he saw it, he realized that her hand is very small. His hands, accustomed to holding a sword year-round, felt somewhat rough, and he could clearly sense her smooth and delicate skin. With slender knuckles and delicate wrists, her hand appeared childlike in comparison to his. After Xie Jing released her, Jiang Youning rubbed her wrist. There was a prominent red mark where Xie Jing had held her on her otherwise fair skin. [ Xie Jing doesn't understand how to have tender, protective feelings for the fairer sex. If he had grabbed her neck, she might have died.] Xie Ji...

 Chapter 10 Xie Jing is so fierce Xie Jing's cold and emotionless voice is very intimidating; even the generals in the military camp are terrified by it, not to mention the ordinary people present. Chunmei trembled in fear, shouting in panic, "General, spare me, please!!!" Xue Yi, being Xie Jing's subordinate, naturally followed his master's approach. Before everyone could react, two tall soldiers from the Xie family dragged Chunmei away. Before long, the sound of a woman's painful cry could be heard. No one present dared to make a sound. Jiang Youning lifted her head and looked at Xie Jing, who sat at the seat of honor, with admiration in her eyes, [Xie Jing truly lives up to his reputation as a victorious general on the battlefield. His methods are swift and decisive. I admire heroes like him who make one feel safe!] Xie Jing knew that Jiang Youning was intentionally saying this for him. Jiang Youning's words were indeed true. Xie Jing's remarkable a...

Chapter 9 The General is here  Jiang Youning was filled with question marks and said, "Father, I took an afternoon nap in my room yesterday and have never been to Yanran's boudoir. How could I have seen her golden bracelet?" Yesterday, she had a big feast at a restaurant, and when she came back, she was working hard with Chuntao to earn some money. She and Jiang Yanran are not familiar with each other, so she wouldn't visit her. Jiang Xubai coldly interrogated, "Chunmei, what on earth is going on here?" Chunmei immediately knelt down with a thud and said in a resolute tone, "Master, nubi personally witnessed it; there is absolutely no falsehood in what I'm saying." "But I really didn't leave my own chamber." Jiang Youning, as if realizing something, suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Chunmei. "You didn't happen to see a ghost, did you?" "..." Jiang Xubai gave Jiang Youning a stern look. "Nonsense ...

Chapter 8 Miss Xie Jing?   Xie Jing couldn't help but frown when he thought of Jiang Youning's inner thoughts before his departure. He has been injured countless times on the battlefield, and as long as it didn't hit any vital organs or bones, it wasn't considered a serious injury. Jiang Youning also said that he wouldn't live past the age of twenty-four; could that also be true? And all of this originated from a dream she had. Xue Yi, seeing Xie Jing remain silent with a bowed head, asked with concern, "Master, what's wrong?" Xie Jing raised his gaze, glanced at Xue Yi, then turned to look at Wen Xianyu and asked, "Do you think my body is strong?" Wen Xianyu was stunned for a moment upon hearing this and asked, "General, are you worried that your injury might delay the journey?" Xie Jing: "No." Xue Yi examined Xie Jing closely and had a bad feeling, "Master, are you feeling unwell somewhere?" "No." Xie...

Chapter 7 Encounter an Ambush The shop assistant blushed and said, "I'll bring it for Miss right away." He wrapped the carefully selected pastries in oiled paper and handed them to Jiang Youning, his face still very red: "Here you go, Miss." Jiang Youning paid thirty copper coins, couldn't wait any longer, and eagerly unwrapped the oiled paper. She picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and took a bite. She hadn't eaten it for several days and was craving it. Shen Yan was on his way to visit the Imperial Censor, and the streets were crowded with people, causing the carriage to move slowly. He impatiently lifted the curtain to look outside and was captivated by a young girl in pink attire who was eating pastries with a smile in her eyes. Skin as white as snow, with a peach blossom-like blush, and almond-shaped eyes slightly curved, shining like stars. Shen Yan's eyes were fixed, and almost without thinking, he pushed open the carriage door and got down f...

 Chapter 6 Too Delicate Today, Xie Jing took the time to come and break off the engagement. The longer it drags on, the more he delays the young lady. So, Xue Yi's remark about making play a reality as a joke, which was actually a proposal in disguise. Xie Jing's gaze followed through a gap and landed directly on Jiang Youning's slender waist, delicate enough that it seemed a single hand could break it. He still remembered that night; he hadn't even exerted much force, and she had cried... "Too delicate." Xue Yi, upon hearing this, was not surprised. Having followed Xie Jing for five years, he deeply understood Xie Jing's ambitions and lofty aspirations, which had never allowed room for personal matters. Staying in the military camp year-round, surrounded by rugged men, he had grown used to speaking loudly. When faced with delicate women, who would tremble at a raised voice and cry at the slightest thing, he naturally found it unappealing. "Why didn...

Chapter 5 Mind reading Jiang Youning arrived at the entrance of the Flower Hall with curiosity. Even before approaching, she heard Jiang Xubai's flattering laughter. " General Xie, this is my own daughter, Yanran. She excels in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and she's even more sensible than Ning'er." "General Xie." Su Yanran's voice was so gentle and soft that it felt like it could drip water, something that men both liked and couldn't resist. Jiang Xubai, just like in her dream, is eager to introduce Su Yanran to Xie Jing." Jiang Youning walked in, holding the hem of her skirt, and with one glance, she saw the man sitting in the first seat. He was dressed in a blue, narrow-sleeved brocade robe with cloud patterns, tied at the waist with a black and gold embroidered belt, and his ink-black hair was bound by a black and gold jade crown. Unlike Xue Yi's slender figure, he had a tall figure and a well-proportioned physique with b...

Chapter 4 Fake Daughter   "What important matter do you have to say in the end?" The old woman held Su Yanran's hand and looked at Jiang Xubai, saying, "Master Jiang, she is Su Yanran, your biological daughter." Upon hearing this, Madam He instinctively assumed that Su Yanran was Jiang Xubai's illegitimate daughter, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant. "If My Lord wants to marry the concubine, you could have just told me directly. Why all this secretive behavior? Others might think I can't tolerate anyone else and am petty." Jiang Xubai glared at Madam He and said, "Say a few less words. Where did you get the idea that I have an illegitimate daughter?" Jiang Youning looked at the elderly woman and Su Yanran. Could it be that what had been a dream had actually come true? Did Feng Mama take the real daughter to the countryside as a revenge against the Jiang family? Such a bloody thing really happened to her~ The Old Madam hear...
