She had already walked up to Jinxia, her back facing Yan ShiFan, her big brown eyes filled with a fear that would never leave them. Jinxia looked at the maid, she could feel that behind her face there was a secret, perhaps it could explain the reason why she was punished so severely.
Under her half-covered sleeve, Jinxia saw red traces on her white wrist, signs as if she was tied. If she could take off her clothes, Jinxia was sure that there would have been more scars on her body, showing how much pain she had been through.
But right now, just looking at her eyes, Jinxia couldn’t even bear to ask her, let alone make any requests. She just held her hand, examining her palm and fingers carefully, then held it up to her nose.
“Well? What do you think?” Yan ShiFan asked.
Jinxia took a deep breath, then she made up her mind, “This lady is very skilled in tea preparation, but sloppy in sewing and embroidery. Recently, not sure what mistake she had made, maybe she dropped something in the kitchen, or broke an expensive teacup, either way she was punished. What’s more, the window in her room is likely to be on the right side of the dressing table…” Or maybe her right hand is injured. Jinxia didn’t say the last sentence. She deliberately switched the reason, including the one of her punishment.
After Yan ShiFan listened to her, he told the maid to come back. Only then he curiously asked, “How do you know?”
“Normally, the hands’ skin is different according to different jobs, in particular the calluses on the palms and the fingertips, they are not positioned in the same way.” Jinxia said, in line with the facts, “Embroiders use needles, their thumb and forefinger usually have a thick layer of skin, similar calluses can be found in people who practice kung fu. This lady has no calluses on her thumb or forefinger, so I can conclude that she rarely uses needles.”
“Tea preparation expert?”
“The sleeve of her robe is slightly wetted by water and judging from the colour, it must be from tea. The back of her hand is burned and a bit reddish. Of course, this could also be caused by her working in the kitchen, that’s why I sniffed her hands carefully and perceived a faint smell of tea and no other smells like garlic, meat or ginger that comes from the kitchen.”
Yan ShiFan’s facial expression looked quite satisfied. He nodded his head, “Regarding getting punished, there’s no need to ask, it must be because there is a bruise on her wrist.”
When the maid heard Yan ShiFan mention the bruise on her wrist, she swallowed tightly. Jinxia was willing to bet that, under her clothes, every place on her body would have goosebumps.
“Daren is a genius.” Jinxia said politely.
“Now, how do you know the dressing table is on the right side of the window?” Yan ShiFan pushed the teacup aside and the maid hastily bowed to accept it.
“On the right side of her head, her hair is very neat, not a single strand is coming out. I compared it to the left side, where there are several strands of hair out of place. In this season, it is good to borrow the sunlight outside the window to do your hair.”
Yan ShiFan looked at her with almost approving eyes, “Borrowing the sunlight to do the hair, I completely missed this point.”
Lu Yi, who was at the side, kept quiet and continued to listen, his eyes occasionally glanced at Jinxia, as if he was not interested in their topic.
“Yan Yuan, this time working with LiuShanmen to investigate this case, and having this little girl beside you… She is very interesting.” Yan ShiFan turned to face Lu Yi and laughed.
Lu Yi smiled slightly, “It’s not bad, but sometimes very troublesome.”
“Women! They are always troublesome. They wouldn’t be women if they didn’t cause troubles.” Yan ShiFan laughed out loud and waved his hand to indicate that Jinxia could go back to her seat. When he laughed, there was a vibration on his chest, his voice muffled, making people feel that there was something hidden in his heart beside the laughter.
“I don’t usually drink YangZhou wine, instead I brought a few jars from the Capital. Yan Yuan, the wine you usually drink…” Not waiting for Lu Yi to answer, his finger tapped the arm of the chair several times, then he said, “Qiu Lubai, is that right?”
“Daren’s memory is very good.”
In Lu Yi’s tone there was a hint of laughter. Jinxia felt that his jokes were different from usual, so she couldn’t help but turn her head and look at him.
“What about this little girl?” Yan ShiFan’s eyes shifted back to Jinxia. “Yang ChengWan is naturally strict, he doesn’t let you drink outside, right?”
He even knew her master… Jinxia’s heart shivered, her mouth saying, “Beizhe is very bad at drinking, I beg for Daren’s forgiveness.”
Yan ShiFan once again laughed loudly, “Recently, did you and Young Master Bangzhu drink two jars of snow wine at Qifen Pavilion on the second floor?”
Qifen Pavilion, near the lake… Jinxia remembered that night when she saw the ‘Ai Bieli’, her face changed and she didn’t know how to answer him.
Yan ShiFan turned to Lu Yi and said with a smile, “You have to get used to their little tricks. At first, they said they’re not good at drinking, then they’ll drink full jars.”
Lu Yi laughed, “Indeed Daren has already checked everything.”
Following Yan ShiFan’s order, more and more things were being brought up by the maids. In just an instant, the room that was originally empty with just a closed curtain, was now becoming full. The candle holder and the wall divider were expensive items. Needless to say, the small table in front of Jinxia and Lu Yi was made of elephant teeth and the surface of a shiny clear jade.
Every item was astonishing, but also extremely extravagant. Jinxia sighed in secret, turning to the side to see the Han Dynasty copper pot, inside there were large peach blossoms with delicate petals, which had been freshly picked.
Each petal was pink and lovely. As soon as she saw them, in her mind appeared the image of the several women’s corpses dumped in the Taohualin Forest.
The maid brought in the fruits. The Xuande-made ceramic pot contained the cherries planted by the Linggy Monastery, all of them huge with the colour of red and black. Yan ShiFan took the tip of a cherry stalk and put it in his mouth. The cherries were not chewed immediately, instead he reached out his hand, grabbed the cup and took a sip of wine and mixed the sweet and sour cherry taste, creating a spicy grape flavour, not rushing to swallow it. He slowly enjoyed the taste, then a few moments later, swallowed it.
“The missing river repairment funds, is there any progress?” He threw away the top of the cherry and asked casually.
Not knowing whether he was asking her or Lu Yi, Jinxia didn’t dare to speak carelessly.
“Daren wants to step in and help?” Lu Yi didn’t answer right away and he asked with a smile on his face.
How could Yan ShiFan help? Jinxia was stunned and turned to look at Lu Yi: his hands were holding the wine cup, his body slightly leaned, his waist bent, while his tone sounded lazy. This was very unusual.
Yan ShiFan laughed and said: “Speaking of which, when Zhou Xian was in the Capital as a counselor in the Tax Affairs Department, he would scold me about the money, but I didn’t care about him. He continued to be angry. I still ignored him and he kept getting mad. In the end, I couldn’t take it anymore, so I recommended him to become the director of the Waterworks Bureau of the Occupation.
Upon hearing that, Jinxia was almost suspicious of whether she had heard him wrong. Yan ShiFan would actually recommend someone who endlessly scolded him and even moved him to the director position.
Lu Yi was not surprised at all, he chuckled, “If Beizhe heard correctly, leaving him in charge of the river repairment fund was also Daren’s idea?”
Hearing this, Yan ShiFan’s face was full of laughter, like a child enjoying his favourite game. His tone sounded excited, he said to Lu Yi, “You know what he said to me? He said he wanted to use all of the river repairment funds, without missing a single coin…”
Jinxia thought of Zhou Xian’s rotting corpse. She saw that Lu Yi was also laughing, but she was unable to laugh and didn’t find anything funny in that sentence.
“He was afraid that when the silvers were transferred over by many hands, they would be taken, little by little. Therefore, he personally received the funds in the Capital and used his pocket money for the transfer from the Capital to Yangzhou.” Remembering that, Yan ShiFan’s face was still laughing, “On the boat, I arranged to invite him to gamble, who would’ve thought he would decline? I praise him for his strong will. But, when I arrived in Yangzhou, I heard that he’d met a beautiful woman, but couldn’t do anything about it…What a pity…”
It turned out that Zhou Xian had fallen, step by step, into Yan ShiFan’s trap. Jinxia thought to herself, ‘Wu’An Gang was responsible for transferring the funds. In this case, the person who wanted to make Zhou Xian gamble on the ship was probably A’Rui.’
Lu Yi shook his head and said, “It’s not a pity, people like Zhou Xian feel they are perfect and clean and are disgusted looking at people beside them. As soon as it happened to him, he couldn’t help himself, he was really the most disgusting type.*”
*[What Lu Yi meant is Zhou Xian looked down on people who gamble or have a lot of women, yet when he was in the same situation, he turned out to be the same or even worse. Although, he stayed away from gambling, he still fell for Zhai Lanye, TN]
“Your words are correct. If he could have really held back! I still think he was an extraordinary person.” Yan ShiFan sighed, “It’s a pity that he was trapped by a beautiful woman. I still had many plans that have not been used, what a shame.”
There were still a lot of plans… Jinxia shuddered as she heard his words. She thought, even if Zhou Xian did not fall in love with Zhai Lanye, then, she didn’t know what methods Yan ShiFan would have used to deal with him.
Judging from the words of Yan ShiFan, Zhou Xian had already been like a bird in a cage, constantly being mocked, not knowing when he would have died in that very spot.
“You had other plans?” Lu Yi seemed to have a lot of fun hearing that.
“Buddha talked about the eight human sufferings: birth, old age, sickness, death, love separation, resentment, sadness and hate…” Yan ShiFan regretfully fiddled with a pair of cherries in his hand, “It’s more fun to try everything. It’s a shame he only got to experience love separation and couldn’t already stand it.”
‘Ai Bieli, Ai Bieli’… All of a sudden Jinxia realized that he had deliberately let her see the ‘Ai Bieli’ several times, as if trying to warn her.
Why was he giving her a clue? Or was he having fun mocking her?
Or maybe in his eyes, Zhou Xian and she were the same, just a part of his game, playing with them just to kill time?
“Little girl…” Yan ShiFan called out to her.
Jinxia snapped out of her thoughts, and looked at him respectfully saying, “Daren, do you have an order?”
Yan ShiFan tilted his head slightly. His non-moving eyes fixedly looked at her and he asked in a quiet way, “Why didn’t you tell the truth just now?”
“I… How could I dare to deceive Daren?” Jinxia wasn’t sure what he meant.
“You said earlier, the hair on her left side was not as neat because the window was on the right side, actually there is still another reason you did not say… Her right hand was injured.”
As he was talking, Yan ShiFan stretched out his hand and lightly grabbed the maid’s hand, then with a little force, tore her sleeve from her shoulder: on the white skin of her upper arm, two rows of whip were clearly visible.
His finger gently stroked the skin of the whip, greenish veins under the skin instantly appeared. Jinxia gritted her teeth; no need to look at the maid’s face, she could feel the humiliation she was enduring.
“Even though you are a girl, as a constable of LiuShanmen, there is no way you could not know about the fun games in the room, right?” Yan ShiFan’s tone rose, his eyes quite amused, suddenly picking the maid’s hand and caressing the scars on the wrist.
“This… Beizhe was careless, please forgive me.”
Jinxia understood with clarity what he’d meant by a playful game in the room She couldn’t help but endure her disgust.
Lu Yi did not interfere in their conversation; he lifted his chin and drank the wine, the maid beside him refilled his cup in a hurry.
“It’s alright, you are still a lady… But, not young anymore.” Yan ShiFan laughed, turning his body to face Lu Yi, “She must be guided and taught well.”
Jinxia heard Lu Yi laughing, but not answering.
The dinner continued from the afternoon when the sun was in the west until it was dark, at midnight and there was still no sign of it being over. Today, Jinxia had the chance to witness Yan ShiFan’s drinking ability: just like that, he’d finished one jar after another, about six or seven of them, almost enough to measure with a wine barrel. Although Lu Yi’s drinking ability wasn’t as good as his, he had still been able to at least finish two or three jars of wine enjoying the performance of dancers. His behaviour was a little more relaxed and loose.
Along with the amount of wine that was drank, although Yan ShiFan’s tone of voice remained polite, his behaviour was getting more and more indecent and the maid in his embrace was constantly being teased.
During the dinner, Jinxia felt like she was sitting on a bed of nails, already knowing that she shouldn’t have offended that person at all. In the end, she couldn’t stand it anymore and said: “Beizhe still has some work to do and hopes to leave first. Daren, please forgive me.”
“Servants!” Yan ShiFan called out while being half drunk, “Take this little girl to the guest room to rest.”
“Daren, Beizhe…”
Before Jinxia could continue, Yan ShiFan cut off her words, “You are a constable at LiuShanmen, how could you have more work than me? No need to talk about work in front of me. Tonight, you two sleep on the ship, tomorrow morning, you may go. Now, don’t disturb my mood.”
“……..”
She looked at Lu Yi, who was laughing casually,“ Yan Daren has good intentions, you shouldn’t disregard it.”
Upon hearing him say that, Jinxia gritted her teeth and, although reluctant, still bid farewell and said, “Thank you Daren, Beizhe will leave first.”
She had already walked up to Jinxia, her back facing Yan ShiFan, her big brown eyes filled with a fear that would never leave them. Jinxia looked at the maid, she could feel that behind her face there was a secret, perhaps it could explain the reason why she was punished so severely.
