Chapter 32.2 The Wound In The Heart

The intercepted victim personally jumped out to complain about the grievances for You state, and there was solid evidence too. In full view of the public, it was impossible for Tiandu to postpone the handling of it. They could only issue an order immediately to stop the punishment of the You state.

However, it has been hard for the old man. He is already this old, but still has to play this full-scale drama in public.

“Laugh if you want to!” King Sang slapped Sang Bujin’s forehead, “You kid, this look of holding back your laugher, it made this old man even more angry!”

Although Sang Bujin has a beautiful face like a woman’s, but Sang Chengyin has never doted on him even a little bit because of his loveable beauty.

Sang Chengyin himself was beaten up by the Old King Sang from childhood to adulthood. After his son was born, he also gave his son the three-meals-a-day’s beating. He beat Sang Bujin, this porcelain doll carved from a powdered jade, into a tough man.

Sang Bujin’s forehead suffered a slap and his porcelain-white skin even turned red. His father doesn’t even think about doing it only perfunctorily.

He giggled and said: “Dad, I’m not laughing at you. I was just thinking, after we have helped You Wuming so much, he should’ve agreed to let my little sister go, right?”

At the mention of this, Sang Chengyin’s face immediately becomes somewhat ugly-looking: “That lad! If he dares to touch even one of my daughter’s fingers, let’s see if this old man will castrate him or not later!”

Sang Bujin seemed as if he was deep in thought: “In fact, if we think about it carefully, things like patriciding to inherit the throne, You Wuming is not a pioneer. This person is extremely cruel and ruthless, and he is a fierce and ambitious person. In fact, judging from the way he usually handles matters, he is actually not really without any merit.”

He spoke enthusiastically, but he didn’t notice that the expression in his old man’s eyes was becoming more and more dangerous.

“Huh?”

“This fiend, apart from anything else, he has never indulged himself with women,” Sang Bujin muttered to himself. “In this, he is better than Han Shaoling.”

Sang Chengyin smiled: “Not indulging himself with women, patricide, Jin’er seems to appreciate You Wuming very much, eh?”

Sang Bujin did not take a wife yet, saying that he has not found the person he likes.

“Ah, he is passable,” Sang Bujin said casually without realizing that he had fallen into a pit. “If little sister really likes him……Ah, ow, ow, ow, ow father, why are you beating me!”

“Patricide! Patricide! This old man let you patricide! Ha! Little bastard, your hair is all fully grown[1], huh? “

Sang Bujin was kicked into a beautiful ball.

“Father, please spare this son!”

……

You Wuming took Sang Yuanyuan and keep heading South, and soon arrived at the junction between You state and Tiandu.

After staying in a town for one shichen, he sent the You Shadow Guards out in batches. Then they changed their clothes and disguised their faces, and dressed as a group of merchants who transported the Water Spirit Mushroom, a local specialty of You state, to Tiandu for trading. They went to Tiandu in a very low-key way.

This Water Spirit Mushroom is actually a kind of moss. After rain, it will grow in the dark blue stone crevices. They naturally contain a lot of water spiritual essence and are welcomed by those powerful people with water elements.

Only this kind of high-quality goods can be qualified to appear in Tiandu market.

There were less than twenty You Shadow Guards that accompanied them.

Sang Yuanyuan found that since they acted as the merchant’s entourage, they no longer looked like monkeys or soldiers anymore. One more simple and down to earth than the other.

TN : I just wanted to clarify this ‘beating’ matter by parents in Chinese culture. It is not always the beating that would severely harm the child (although, yes, nowadays society forbids adults from hitting a child). I personally wanted to believe that the parents who really loved their child, sometimes only do just a light slap or small punishment but not a severe one (kind of like a slap on the head in Korean movies?). Well, I myself grew up having some ‘beating’ from my parents too (ouch, that pull at my earlobes hurt). Does that count as ‘beating’? No offense here, just that perhaps some people always connected the ‘beating’ in a severe way. That’s how the difficulties in translating kick in. How to tell the story in the most accurate way as possible.
