Half Moon Translation

 Chapter 14  Attending a feast with Xie Jing "Today, Shen Tanhua came to visit, saying that it was a misunderstanding that day. He spoke sincerely and expressed his desire to marry you and make it up to you." Jiang Xubai schemed in his heart, planning to marry Jiang Youning to Shen Tanhua and then have Yanran marry into the General's residence to get the best of both worlds . Jiang Youning blinked her beautiful almond eyes twice, "Father, I am already engaged to General Xie. Besides, I no longer have feelings for Shen Tanhua, and I will not marry him." Jiang Xubai was momentarily stunned by her words. He hadn't expected the usually naive Jiang Youning to be so clever now. She had chosen General Xie and no longer had any interest in Shen Tanhua? "Everyone knew about your previous feelings for Shen Tanhua. He misunderstood you and hurt your feelings. I understand you're upset, but don't rush to reject him. Take your time to reconsider." Jiang...

 Chapter 13 Regretful scumbag? Nan Mianmian looked triumphant, heard everyone's comments, lifted her head to look over, and saw the peony at Du Huilan's temple. Her expression changed. That peony clearly looks like a velvet hairpin. Why did she buy it too? How come she didn't notice the peony style when she bought it last time? She clenched the handkerchief in her hand, looking angry. Du Huilan looked up at Nan Mianmian, seeing her sulking expression. She smiled and touched her own peony velvet hairpin, saying, "Mianmian, how do you like my Chinese peony velvet hairpin?" Nan Mianmian snorted, "Not good enough. The peonies in the courtyard lack allure, and the lotuses in the pond lack sentiment. Only peonies are truly the nation's beauty; when they bloom, they enliven the capital. Have you, Miss Du, heard this poem?" She had been forced to memorize this poem by her elder brother a few days ago, and it came in handy now, giving her something to retor...

 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 ...
