Translating Sloth

The madam turned pale with fright, she made someone stop her but it was already too late. “Is there another entrance to this secret tunnel?” Miao Zhen did not imagine such a thing would happen, why did that seemingly gentle and weak second young lady of the Zhao family appear to have changed into another person escaping first?  Until the madam asked her twice did she then react, she said, “Madam, there isn’t, this is a secret tunnel for escape, again how could there be another entrance, also once locked from the inside it cannot be broken into, this is to prevent evildoers from following.” The madam’s face became very unsightly, she gloomily and coldly said, “Indeed one may know a person for a long time without understanding her true nature, I actually raised an ungrateful wretch!”  Again recalling the last words of Zhao Rui Zhi, she only felt an uncontrollable rage, she really was blind, she knew Zhao Rui Zhi was an issue yet always kept her by her side, las...

At that moment inside the Zhao residence, Zhao Xing Kun was called outside by someone, with a severe expression he looked at the distant soaring flames asking, “Where is that fire?” A young servant at the side with a deathly pale face, shuddered saying, “It’s from the prefectural magistrate’s office.” “Why would the prefectural magistrate’s office be on fire?” Zhao Xing Kun increasingly felt the situation was serious. It was now that the main housekeeper of the Zhao residence Xu Chong hurriedly ran over, saying, “Eldest old master, outside people are saying the Tiangui sect is revolting, those people set the prefectural magistrate’s office on fire, they’ve surrounded the entire Hangzhou.” Even if Zhao Xing Kun has experienced a lot, hearing such a thing he couldn’t help stagger backwards two steps, Xu Chong stepped forward to lend an arm, his tone both pressing and quick, “Eldest old master, are you okay?” Only a while later did Zhao Xing Kun steady his dizzy body...

When the eldest old master saw Zhao Jin Yu she had already “come to”, with a deathly pale face she sat leaning on the bed allowing the maid Zhen Zhu to feed her thick cow’s milk, the madam had especially ordered someone to find this for Zhao Jin Yu a few days ago, seeing this he couldn’t help sigh…, it was clear they loved this child very much, why did things become like this? In just a quarter of an hour he was clear about what happened from start to end, truthfully in his opinion the two people were not wrong, the only wrong was the lack of frankness. If Zhao Jin Yu had been raised by his wife’s side from young, with deep feelings between them, even if Zhao Jin Yu was not content she would forgive and tolerate on account of respect, after all she was her own grandmother, but she unfortunately was raised outside, she was even more indebted to her adoptive father, that’s why she lacked proper trust and affection for his wife, with just a little doubt she directly expressed it...

If it was usually Zhao Jin Yu would definitely have felt she had been too rushed, but at this moment she had been holding back a bellyful of anger, but with such a reproach by the madam, her anger came rushing out, she said, “Grandmother, I’ve always been a child who didn’t follow the rules, do you only know now?” “You brat!” The madam was so angry she almost jumped up. Zhao Jin Yu was someone who could be persuade by reason but not be coerced, seeing the madam was unyielding, her unwillingness to accept defeat came rushing forwards, she said, “It seems that, it’s true young master Bai San has a concubine, since it is so, why would you make me marry him?  Isn’t that pushing me into a pit of fire?” Each of Zhao Jin Yu’s questions seemed stricter than the last, making the madam’s expression seem unsightly immediately. The madam said, “You dare to question me like this…, you child is really…, that young master Bai San does have a concubine, but that’s only a concubine ...
