Chapter 790

Countless doubts finally coalesced in Feng Xuelan's mind into two words: regret!

=> "Countless doubts finally gathered in Feng Xuelan's mind into two words——regret!"

But need to keep punctuation. Use natural English: "Countless doubts finally gathered in Feng Xuelan's mind into two words: regret!" The original uses em dash. We'll use colon or dash. I'll use "——" maybe keep as em dash. Use two em dashes? I'll use " — ". Let's do: "Countless doubts finally gathered in Feng Xuelan's mind into two words — regret!"

Exactly, it's regret!

=> "Exactly, it's regret!"

I was still too careless; otherwise I wouldn't have fallen for the trick.

=> "I was still too careless; otherwise I wouldn't have fallen for the trick."

The phrase "zhuó le dao" means "been tricked" or "fallen for the scheme"; thus "fallen for the trick". I'll say "I wouldn't have fallen for the trick."

After getting out of this danger, I must definitely remember this lesson!

=> "After escaping this danger, I must remember this lesson!"

Then Feng Xuelan turned her attention to Lin Feng.

=> "Next, Feng Xuelan shifted her attention to Lin Feng."

The more I look at this man, the handsomer he seems.

=> "This man before me, the more I look, the more handsome he is!"

He's so handsome it's almost blinding.

=> "He's so handsome it hurts the eyes."

Tears streamed down.

=> "Tears even streamed out."

Feng Xuelan summoned all her strength, lifted her hand, and tried to get a clear look at this man.

Feng Xuelan exerted all her strength, lifted her hand, wanting to see this man clearly.

I'll keep the garbled as is.

I had only ever heard Lin Feng's name in passing.

=> "Before, I had only heard of Lin Feng's great name in circles."

Even then, I was intensely curious about him.

=> "Back then I already felt a strong curiosity about him."

When I found out Lin Feng was a jerk who even harmed Han Xiang, I thought it was a shame.

=> "When I learned that Lin Feng was a scumbag, even harming Han Xiang, I felt it was a pity."

When I learned that Lin Feng was a scumbag, even harming Han Xiang, I felt it was a pity.

If he were a faithful man, he could be my perfect match.

=> "If this guy were a devoted man, he might be my perfect match."

With my abilities, I could help him achieve an even greater future!

=> "With my abilities, I could help him carve out a wider world!"

Now this man stands right before me.

=> "Now, this man is right before me."

Feng Xuelan didn't realize that, while her mind was clear, her actions were beyond her control.

=> "Feng Xuelan didn't realize that although her mind was clear, her actions were not under her control."

It's as if an invisible hand is controlling her actions.

=> "It was as if an invisible big hand was directing her behavior."

No amount of willpower means anything when faced with the candy made by Lin Qingxia—it's all useless.

=> "No matter how strong one's willpower, in front of the candy made by Lin Qingxia, it's all bullshit."

……playful ellipsis……

=> "……playful ellipsis……"

……playful ellipsis……

In the evening.

=> "Evening."

"I really didn't want to come; coming here now would be beneath my status."

=> "\"I actually didn't want to come, really! With my status, coming now is too much of a loss of face. \""

As the stretched luxury car drove into the Lin family compound, Eunuch Shi—who used to be called that but now goes by Shi Yuniang—muttered in front of the four lovely ladies Chen Yu, Luoyan, Bi Yue, and Xiuhua.

=> "When the extended luxury sedan they were riding in drove into the Lin Family Sihe Courtyard, Eunuch Shi, who used to be called Eunuch Shi but now changed her name to Shi Yuniang, muttered in front of the four beautiful women Yu, Yan, Yue, and Hua."

The characters Yu, Yan, Yue, Hua refer to the four women Chen Yu, Luoyan, Bi Yue, Xiuhua. The phrase "in front of the four beautiful women Yu, Yan, Yue, Hua muttering" means they were murmuring before those women. We'll translate using the full names: Chen Yu, Luoyan, Bi Yue, Xiuhua.

Thus: "When the extended luxury sedan they were riding in drove into the Lin Family Sihe Courtyard, Eunuch Shi, who used to be called Eunuch Shi but now changed her name to Shi Yuniang, muttered in front of the four beautiful women Chen Yu, Luoyan, Bi Yue, and Xiuhua."

Bi Yue struggled to keep from smiling as she looked at Eunuch Shi.

=> "Bi Yue forced back a smile and looked at Eunuch Shi."

Only Luoyan and Xiuhua had solemn faces.

=> "Only Luoyan and Xiuhua wore solemn expressions."

In fact, of the four women attending Eunuch Shi, only Luoyan and Xiuhua remained steadfastly loyal to her.

=> "Actually, among the four women around Eunuch Shi, only these two remained loyal to her as always."

Bi Yue and Chen Yu had long been Lin Feng's people.

=> "As for Bi Yue and Chen Yu, they had long belonged to Lin Feng."

Bi Yue and Chen Yu had also held a meeting with Lin Feng to discuss life's philosophy.

=> "Bi Yue and Chen Yu had even held a meeting together with Lin Feng to discuss life philosophy."

"Shi sister, you're finally here—I thought you wouldn't come!"

=> "\"Shi Sister, you finally came; I thought you wouldn't come! \""

Yang Caiwei and Liu Cangyun went out to greet them after hearing the news, just in time to meet Eunuch Shi stepping out of the car.

=> "Yang Caiwei and Liu Cangyun, upon receiving the news, came out to greet and happened to meet Eunuch Shi getting out of the car."

Although Eunuch Shi had complained in the car, he immediately smiled when he saw Yang Caiwei and Liu Cangyun.

=> "Although Eunuch Shi had complained in the car, upon seeing Yang Caiwei and Liu Cangyun, she immediately broke into a smile."

"Come on! Our family…… I of course had to come; we are…… we are a family, after all!"

=> "\"Come! Our family…… I certainly had to come; we are…… we are a family, right! \""

Eunuch Shi said, smiling.

=> "Eunuch Shi said with a smile."

"Shi sister……"

=> "\"Shi Sister... \""

Liu Cangyun called out.

=> "Liu Cangyun called out."

Eunuch Shi hurriedly said, "Please don't call me Shi sister anymore; it sounds like 'dead sister' and is unpleasant. Just call me Yu sister from now on."

=> "Eunuch Shi hurriedly said: \"Don't call me Shi Sister anymore; it sounds like 'dead sister' and is unpleasant. From now on call me Yu Sister. \""

"Okay, Yu sister."

=> "\"Okay, Yu Sister. \""

Liu Cangyun said, smiling.

=> "Liu Cangyun said with a smile."

Then the two women led Eunuch Shi and their entourage of five to a secluded small courtyard.

=> "Next, the two of them led Eunuch Shi and her party of five to a separate small courtyard."

"And Lin Feng?"

=> "\"What about Lin Feng? \""

After settling in, Eunuch Shi glanced at the sky outside, furrowed his brow, and asked.

=> "After settling in, Eunuch Shi glanced at the outside sky, furrowed her brow slightly, and asked."

Compared to Yang Caiwei and Liu Cangyun's enthusiasm, she would rather see Lin Feng's smile that once made her hate him so much her teeth itched.

=> "Compared to the enthusiasm of Yang Caiwei and Liu Cangyun, she would rather see Lin Feng's smile that once made her hate him so much her teeth itched."

Yang Caiwei smiled and said, "Yu sister, my senior brother has been swamped these past two days; he's not home now and probably won't be back until tomorrow."

=> "Yang Caiwei said with a smile: \"Yu Sister, my senior brother has been busy these past two days; he's not home now, probably won't be back until tomorrow. \""

"It's New Year's; why is he still out busy? With his status, what could possibly require his personal attention?"

=> "\"It's New Year's, why is he still busy outside? With his current status and position, what matters still require him to personally handle? \""

Eunuch Shi was somewhat displeased.

=> "Eunuch Shi was somewhat dissatisfied."

Yang Caiwei and Liu Cangyun merely smiled.

=> "Yang Caiwei and Liu Cangyun just smiled."

Eunuch Shi, resigned, waved his hand and said, "Never mind! When he returns tomorrow, I want to be the first to see him."

=> "Eunuch Shi helplessly waved her hand: \"Forget it! When he comes back tomorrow, I want to see him right away! \""

No sooner had he spoken than Qi Yao entered.

=> "Just as her words fell, Qi Yao walked in through the door."

Seeing Qi Yao, Eunuch Shi stared in surprise, then sprang to his feet.

=> "Seeing Qi Yao, Eunuch Shi first froze, then with a 'whoosh' stood up."

"Hehe! Qi, Qi sister, hello!"

=> "\"Hehe! Qi, Qi younger sister, hello! \""

Eunuch Shi gave an embarrassed chuckle.

=> "Eunuch Shi gave an embarrassed laugh."

Qi Yao said calmly, "I came to see you; from now on we're family, so there's no need to put on airs—Caiwei and Cangyun aren't servants."

=> "Qi Yao said calmly: \"I came to see you; from now on we're a family, no need to put on airs—Caiwei and Cangyun are not servants. \""

"Yes yes yes! It's my attitude that's bad; you know, I — I've been over two thousand years old, accustomed to this, I'll change from now on."

=> "\"Yes yes yes! It's my attitude that's bad; you know, I '', I've been over two thousand years old, accustomed to this, I'll change from now on. \""

There's a weird quote with empty content: 「」， likely a placeholder for something like "old habits". We'll keep as is: "".

"Mm!"

=> "\"Mm! \""

Qi Yao nodded and said, "You've come from the United States on a long flight; you must be tired, so rest early."

=> "Qi Yao nodded: \"Having come from Mi Guo, after such a long flight, you must be tired; rest early. \""

"Tired? Yes, yes, I'm completely exhausted!"

=> "\"Tired? Yes yes, I am very tired now! \""

As he spoke, Eunuch Shi yawned and feigned weariness.

=> "Saying this, Eunuch Shi yawned, putting on a weary appearance."

Qi Yao said calmly, "Then I won't bother you."

=> "Qi Yao said calmly: \"Then I won't disturb you. \""

She then turned and left.

=> "Having said that, she turned and left."

"Yu sister, please rest well; if you need anything, just let the household staff know."

=> "\"Yu Sister, rest well; if anything comes up, you can notify the household servants. \""

Yang Caiwei smiled and said a sentence, and together with Liu Cangyun left.

After the two left, Eunuch Shi sat on the sofa with furrowed brows, remaining silent for a long time.

Suddenly, she waved her hand and said, "You four go rest! Let me stay alone for a while."

Chen Yu, Luoyan, and Xiuhua left immediately.

Bi Yue stayed behind, lightly saying, "Cry if you want to!"

Eunuch Shi's eyes reddened as he said, "Just think how we used to be, now we've fallen to this—really, the longer we live, the more we go back."

Only when there are no outsiders around is the interaction between Bi Yue and Eunuch Shi normal.

Bi Yue laughed and said, "You! Only now do you live like a person. Think back—did those royals, officials, even commoners ever treat you as a person?"

Eunuch Shi said, "It's that my thinking hasn't changed yet—I know! Go on, go report to Lin Feng! Tell him, I've been... well-behaved during this time!"

Bi Yue laughed again, then turned and left.

As Eunuch Shi said, Bi Yue staying by his side was indeed to monitor her.

Eunuch Shi didn't care either.

Because she had completely given up opposing Lin Feng.

Compared to before, the current Eunuch Shi has changed quite a bit.

Like a little child.

Why has there been such a change?

Because there's no burden anymore, and there's something to rely on!

Eunuch Shi himself might not even have noticed this.

After Yang Caiwei and Liu Cangyun left the place where Eunuch Shi lived, they walked a distance.

"This woman, how can she also be afraid of the boss!"

Yang Caiwei sighed.

Liu Cangyun laughed and said, "In the household, none of the sisters are unafraid of the boss. I'm afraid too, but I just don't know why I'm afraid of her..."

Yang Caiwei thought for a moment, "Some people make others fear them for no reason."

"What about the instructor? Haven't seen anyone all afternoon—did he really go out?"

Liu Cangyun asked.

All day, Liu Cangyun had been busy with other things, not noticing what was happening with Lin Feng.

Yang Caiwei whispered, "Over at Elder Sister Wu's place, they probably won't leave until tomorrow morning."

Liu Cangyun nodded.

Then he said, "Everyone's gathered today—do you have time tonight? Caiwei, you and I, along with Yun Luan, let's have tea together!"

"What tea?"

Yang Caiwei asked with a smile.

Liu Cangyun said, "Miaomiao tea!"

"Pfft~"

Yang Caiwei couldn't help but laugh.

The matter of the tea "Snow Inside Kiln" brewed by Qian Miaomiao has now become a laughingstock.

Speaking of this, it still has to do with Eunuch Shi.

If it weren't for Eunuch Shi, Liu Cangyun wouldn't have remembered.

"Going or not?"

Liu Cangyun asked.

Yang Caiwei said, "No way! Recently my relatives have come to my door looking for me."

"Then there's nothing to be done, alright! Everything's finished, I'm also going to rest—you should rest early too."

"Okay!"

Liu Cangyun waved at Yang Caiwei, then turned and left.
