A family inclined to kindness and charity would grace the descendants.
Thanks to one small act of kindness,
by providence she comes across a grateful friend;
Fortunate that her mother,
has done an unperceived good deed….

Men should rescue the distressed and aid the poor…
Who would have guessed that kindness in this world ultimately would be the road that one must choose, that proverbial fork in the road?

Clouds of rain float on eastern winds as new vines start to blossom.
Though drums of war roar too loudly and their brilliance has been lost,
a green grass carpet greets the sun by the break of morning.
Let us wait for the yellow leaves, a few gourds are harvested.

She stood up and looked at Fan Xian. In a quiet voice, she said, "What exactly do you want to do?" She wondered what Fan Xian had done during these three days.

Haitang's eyes narrowed. She had been tricked to come out for three days while the aces of the court had followed Chief Su Bida and followed behind them for three days. Indeed, Fan Xian didn't have to do anything personally, but something must have gone wrong in the court.
