Just Kidding You  The wide brown sleeves waved, and all the serving girls in the private room quietly withdrew.

Torture   Yue Ting had no time to think carefully about this question, because he heard the sound of swords clashing from the neighboring courtyard.

Illness and Blame    Several stewards in the adjacent side hall had drunk five or six pots of tea, sitting from midday until evening. Whether to leave or stay, they still hadn’t received a definitive word from Gu Jiuqing.   The men began to murmur among themselves and walked to the study door, only to find it empty inside.
