Shen Chuwei replied somewhat sheepishly, "Your Concubine would indeed prefer to make up for it all at once, but alas, Your Concubine's capabilities are limited."

I've seen this in many novels. Why do main leads, male or female, cut their wrists to get some blood? Isn't it dangerous if it cuts some major veins? A simple gash in the palm or forearm or any other part of the arm is still fine. Why always wrists?
Xiao Jinyan rolled up his sleeve, revealing a fair wrist. He positioned it over the bowl and, with the dagger in hand, did not hesitate to slice open his wrist. Blood immediately began to flow, dripping into the celadon bowl.

Ah! See, I knew it. Jiang Shu isn't her son.
After all, he was her husband of many years, and she had sought this marriage with the Empress Dowager herself. She truly loved the Duke of Qi. Even if he was indifferent to her all these years and favored the child born of another woman, Princess Pingning's feelings for him had never changed.

Still, a grown man showing his bare body in front of ladies from other families(except for the man's own mother, sister, grandmother and wife), was considered improper and it would ruin the young lady's reputation too.
Yang Mengchen couldn't help but let out a snort of laughter at Hua Ziyu's shy and innocent demeanor.

Oh! I had not considered this position.
At the foot of the high stone wall, the soldiers were divided into two teams. Taking a horse stance, the first team puts their hands together between their legs and lets the second team step on their palms.

I've never seen an author using such accurate words for the sounds produced by things. I've been a fan of their ability from the first chapter of this novel.
Du~ duru~ dum! Du~ duru~ dum! Du~ duru~ dum!

Sorry, but the last sentence didn't make any sense to me. If everyone put their hands between their legs, how can their palms be stepped upon by the second team? No matter which position they assume, it's impossible. Please tell me if I'm mistaken.

My youngest brother is the son of me and my stepmother.
Since those things were about to spread, Duan Huai could only endure the shame. "My youngest brother is the son of my stepmother."

Well, for her second brother who could arrange a female tutor from the influence of his maternal scholarly family, it wouldn't be that difficult to find a master for himself.
"If the academies won't work out, there must be a way to find a teacher..."

I like you more when you keep your mouth shut.😂
This zeal made Wei Ruo somewhat miss the aloof Xie Ying of the past.
History · Yet Another Earworm
128 taels of silver isn't much, looking at the conditions of their family. If it's more than a 1000 silver taels, it would be quite believable.
Only after partnering with Xie Ying did Wei Ruo discover that Lady Xie's maiden home belongs to a wealthy merchant family. Lady Xie's dowry was a whopping 128 taels of silver plus several pieces of land and lots of property located in prosperous areas, all of which earn a handsome amount annually.
History · Yet Another Earworm
Well, the rule was made with 2 intentions in the olden days. 1. You must fully concentrate on your food, take it in, enjoy the flavors, chew it properly and swallow. If a person keeps getting distracted from the conversations around, this wouldn't be possible. 2. If we keep talking and eating at the same time, the air passage keeps opening when talking and food may travel through the wrong passage and you may choke on your food. Our ancestors had their reasons for stipulating certain rules. We might not appreciate them today, but they were not meaningless.
In the Wei residence, there was a rule that one should not speak while eating or resting. But there were not so many restrictions in the Xu family.

You guys haven't even seen her and you've already assumed about her complexion being suntanned and having rough hands, all in all a coarse, unrefined girl.🙄
At this moment, Wei Mingyong had a question: "Father, in the letter, our third brother mentioned that this task was carried out by our niece Wei Qingruo, who we've never met. She spent her entire childhood in the countryside, which might have given her a countryside complexion and make her not suitable for the higher echelons. How could she be this capable?"

Oh! For the last time, is Grandpa Wei a Duke or an earl? An earl is 2 ranks inferior to that of a Duke. What is the translator thinking when doing such a mistake?
After waiting for several days, news from Xingshan County finally arrived in the capital. Upon receiving the letter, the old earl excitedly exclaimed that it was good news.

Well, all I can see is that every person in the Huo family is a weirdo, each uniquely weird. 🙄
Huo Zizhen liked to tease him, but he never let him have it. Although she did not think that she should keep her chastity for that man, after all, that man had his wife by his side. However, Huo Zizhen just did not want to have a physical relationship with a poor person. This was because it was too subtle. It would make her feel that her body was polluted and could never be washed clean.

She is throwing away a man who she might find herself compatible with, for someone who doesn't even want to take a second look at her or reciprocate her feelings. She might give this person a try by dating him for a while. Why is she ruining her life like this?
However, the man beside her was following her closely. Shi Muzhen stopped in her tracks and pointed at Gu Zhichuan unhappily. "That's the person I like. He came to look for me. Give up. You can't compare to him."
