Chapter 106: Bird of Winter Lake

The willow tree couldn't quite figure out what was going on, but sensing the tense atmosphere, it remained silent.

Zhao Wuyan was still weighing the situation at sea in his heart and did not speak lightly.

And Zishu, who cared nothing about world affairs, found that the few people on the opposite side were a little strange.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

At this seafood feast, the male and female guests sat on opposite sides. On her side, Jiang Wuyou was seated at the head of the food table, followed by Zhao Wuyan, and then her.

>

At the banquet, Jiang Wang and Jiang Wuyou sat opposite each other. Then, Xu Xiangqian and Zhao Wuyan sat opposite each other. Li Longchuan sat opposite her, while Yang Liu sat alone at the end, with no one opposite him—who could blame him for being a nuisance and sticking around

This is a line of text that will be translated.

When the refined young master walked in, Zishu noticed that Jiang Wang, Xu Xiangqian, and Li Longchuan across from him all changed instantly.

Their posture was straighter, their expressions more composed. They all sat with proper decorum, seeming as if nothing concerned them, yet their eyes held the same glint... excitement

What are they excited about Zi Shu couldn't understand at all.

But... Hua Ying Palace Master is so cool!

But seeing Jiang Wuyou seated on the left side, she sat cross-legged with one hand resting on her knee. Her phoenix eyes slanted slightly, and her chin was lightly lifted as she glared at Yan Fu who had suddenly stepped into the hall.

There is a kind of commanding presence from above: “You treacherous little thief, dare you appear before this palace”

Yan Fu, being so clever, saw through the situation at once and realized he had been tricked by his friends.

My heart was already cursing, but on the surface, I could only smile wryly and explain: "Your Highness, it really is... a long time no see! Earlier, I have already apologized to Miss Liu, and she has also said that she forgives me. This matter is truly..."

Of course, he couldn't say it wasn't his fault.

It's not his fault, it's his grandfather Yan Ping's fault.

So no matter how Jiang Wuyou scolded him, he had to endure it. Even hiding overseas to seek peace, he didn't expect... he couldn't escape it.

"Xiu Zhang is a kind and soft-hearted person, she wouldn't hold a grudge against you. But this palace cannot bear to see her being bullied!"

Jiang Wuyou's aura was fully open, her phoenix eyes held a commanding presence: "If Liu Shen Tong is still alive, dare you come to the door and break off the engagement Yan Fu, speak for yourself!"

Zishu was filled with excitement. The palace mistress of the Great Qi royal family was so impressive!

My lords and ladies, not a single one is an ordinary person. Whether they are from a prestigious family or born with exceptional talent, their every move exudes the aura of a dominating presence, truly befitting noble scions!

But in terms of the matter of Yan Fu's withdrawal from marriage, it was completely a muddled account.

Jiang Wuyou was right, but Yan Fu was indeed unable to control his own marriage. Behind this was the long-term planning of the entire family, not considering his personal honor or disgrace. Let alone being called a heartless man, when it came to making greater sacrifices, he would find it hard to say no.

He was born into the glory of the "Yan Family" and had to bear the responsibility entrusted by his family.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It is not only Anian who was like this, nor is it only the Anian family.

Even a peerless genius like Chong Xuan, who was undoubtedly unparalleled in his talent, had to face the challenge from Chong Sheng because he defied his family's will.

"Alas!"

Faced with Jiang Wuyou's question, Yi An could only sigh helplessly, unable to defend himself.

He had already scoped out the direction and was ready to make a run for it at any moment.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Wuyou suddenly waved his hand: "Forget it. Today, I'll let you off for Jiang Qingyang's sake. Go wherever you feel comfortable!"

Jian Wuyu had always been a person of action. What she said, she did. Before this, if someone challenged her, she would meet them head-on.

Yan Fu looked at Jiang Wang in surprise. He didn't expect Jiang Wang to have this face, but he didn't say anything. After all, it was normal for Jiang Wuyou, as the master of Huaying Palace, to go to Jueming Island on business, and for Jiang Wang, as a blue-brand catcher, to come to sea to handle cases - he couldn't think of the fact that he had been sold in Linzi.

Here's the translation, keeping all HTML tags:

The maid of the Sanwei Zhuang brought over another dining table and placed it below the willow tree.

Yan Fu sat down with a bitter expression, even more lonely than Yang Liu, the only disciple of Diao Hailou present.

When he saw Jian Yan An was fine and well, he sat down calmly. Xu Xiang Qian sighed somewhat regretfully. Of course, this regret could only be understood by the other two close friends.

Speaking of which, among this group, the only one who has actually seen Yan Fu get beaten up is Chong Xuan Sheng. It's truly a matter of luck and it's enviable.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

However, their tacit agreement to lure Yan Fu back wasn't just for the sake of watching his humiliation. While they did want to see Yan Fu get beaten up, it was also true that several friends wanted to help resolve the conflict between Huaying Palace Master and Yan Fu.

Otherwise, what would happen to Young Master Yan, a distinguished son of the Yan family, being chased around by the Palace Mistress Hua Ying all day

"Cough." Xu Xiangqian cleared his throat. "I heard there's a kind of bird at sea, with three wings on its back, that can fly for thousands of miles. This kind of bird can only mate with other three-winged birds throughout its life. Once it falls in love with an ordinary seabird, it will immediately become unbalanced and lose the ability to fly. As a result, it can only die."

He looked at Yangliu: "I wonder if it's true"

Concerning overseas experiences, Yangliu naturally wouldn't be outdone: "Brother Xu, you truly are well-informed and knowledgeable. This bird is called Dongze, entirely white in plumage, a seasonal bird. In areas near the sea where there is no winter, people often determine the winter solstice by seeing this bird. It can't be seen at this time now."

Xu Xiangqian smiled and asked Jiang Wuyu again, "What do you think of this bird, Palace Master"

He explicitly stated that the winter-wren was actually referring to Yan Fu and Liu Xiuzhang.

A three-winged bird can only mate with another three-winged bird, not a two-winged bird. Just as the direct lineage of the Yan family cannot possibly marry into the Liu family, specifically with Liu Xiuzhang's branch.

This is not something that can be decided by them of their own accord.

Of course, Jiang Wuyou understood.

But she only asked, "Birds are heartless, following only the instinct of life. Are humans also heartless If a bird in winter falls off balance, but other birds love it and feed it, will it die"

She then asked, "Birds are mismatched and out of balance, humans are mismatched and meet their demise. How can these two be compared!"

After much questioning, Xu Xiang was left speechless. He wasn't normally at a loss for words, but when it came to matters of the heart, and with everyone watching him so intently, he couldn't bring himself to utter any of his usual evasive or flippant remarks.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Hearing this, people like Zhao Wuyan finally understood there was something else going on. One by one, they kept silent and watched from the sidelines.

Li Longchuan supported his knees with both hands and looked at Jiang Wuyou: "Your Highness. Even if other birds love it, feed it, or even if it can survive. But it can't flap its wings, is that the desire of Dongze To crawl for a lifetime, who can endure"

He was upright and principled, driven by ideals, commenting on the future with a resounding voice, like metal striking stone.

Jiang Wuyou only sneered coldly: "Animals have no agreements, but humans do. Crawling is just enduring, isn't breaking trust"

Liu Shen Tong was her bet on a prodigy, and Liu Xiu Zhang was her close confidante. Out of both sentiment and reason, she needed to show support for Liu Xiu Zhang, to let out this breath of frustration.

Otherwise, she, the esteemed mistress of Huaying Palace, would be far too busy to spend her days chasing after a faithless man.

Li Longchuan also fell silent.

Jiang Wang sighed and, still seated, bowed to Jiang Wuyu: "The Palace Master speaks with reason, nothing can be argued. But the Palace Master also knows. A three-winged bird paired with a two-winged bird is a mismatched pair. Life is long, year after year. Life is short, fleeting like white horses passing by. If one could avoid mistakes, why make them"

Jiang Wuyou fell silent for a moment before opening her lips: "Whether right or wrong, only the person involved knows. But since Jiang Qingyang has spoken up, this palace will no longer interfere."

She kept her eyes fixed straight ahead, not glancing at Yan Fu. But she said, “Yan Fu, take care of yourself.”

Yan Fu took a gulp and finished the wine in his cup.

This renowned idle rich man of Linzi, in the end, only stood up, bowed to Jiang Wuyou, and sighed: "Shame on me!"

It is unclear whether it was said to Jiang Wuyou or Liu Xiuzhang.
