Chapter 3: Teaching you how to be a person
Some people are just like this, talk nicely to them but they just don't listen. Looks like we can skip the talking nicely part.
Chun Tao points at Wu SheYue's nose astonished. "You, you this ugly person actually dare to kick me! Such big courage you have!"
Before, Chun Tao bullied Wu SheYue many times but this is the first time she is being bullied back. An idiot actually dares to treat her this way, Chun Tao is not able to endure this.
She staggers as she gets up, then reaches out wanting to seize Wu SheYue.
But Wu SheYue slightly tilts sideways dodging Chun Tao. "Your master is Second Miss? I see that you are more capable than her~"
"B*llsh*t! Who told you that you can talk about my family's Second Miss!" Chun Tao sees Wu SheYue is not willing to be beaten and flies into rage, rushing again at Wu SheYue. "Want to rebel don't you!"
T/N: So in the raw, the b*llsh*t is 你放屁 which literally translates to "You fart" which sounds silly. It's used when the other person is talking nonsense. In English I believe we use BS so I put that instead of "You fart."
Wu SheYue sees that Chun Tao is not going to finish being unreasonable anytime soon and again lifts her leg to kick at Chun Tao's chin. Chun Tao had not come to from the pain that her knee had just experienced and was once again smashed against the coffin.
This kick was ruthless, Chun Tao screams like a pig being slaughtered, rolling about on the ground. She already does not care about the pain from her knee and can only feel as if her jaw is about to be taken off and her head dizzy. Tears and snot fall down into her mouth.
Even though it's like this, Chun Tao does not believe that the once idiotic person will have a turn for the better today. Still, she vaguely threatens Wu SheYue. "You, You b*tch! Why do you dare——"
Wu SheYue walks over. "Come, let me tell you when the word b*tch should be used."
In the end, Chun Tao scrambled…….flew, she was kicked out, screaming as if being murdered. Wu SheYue did not even have to use her hands, similar to driving out a dog.
Don't know if this place is a remote area or not, no one was attracted by this much noise. Chun Tao is outside the courtyard crying as if gasping for breath and lets out some brave words. "Wuwuwu. You wait…….just you wait……."
Wuwuwu – sfx for crying
Only when outside has quieted down, Chun Tao has probably already left, Wu SheYue then turns around to return to the mourning hall. She looks at her surrounding and lightly hmphs. "Have you seen enough, come out!"
The person on the side probably finished watching this show, that girl’s turtle like reaction speed…….really should be practiced.
From the mourning hall's side door, a timid looking girl dressed as a maidservant pops her head out. Her hairstyle is similar to that of Chun Tao's just that hers is matted. She is also wearing an old white mourning dress, looking very skinny, seems to still be scared.

Wu SheYue turns around to glare at her. PUTONG. The maidservant throws herself to her knees. "Third, Third Miss?"
"Where did you come from?"
"Miss? I am Ning Er….nubi is your maid servant." Ning Er is on all fours, looking stunned and worried at her.
Nubi – 奴婢, honorific used by maid servants of Ancient China, means I.
"Oh……." Looks like this Ning Er had followed benzun for a long time, this just makes it a little awkward.
benzun – 本尊, so I searched this up and got "this revered master" similar to 朕, 本宫, and 本王 that you see in other Chinese novels. It's another way of saying "I" that the upper class use. They are all honorifics. However, in this case I don't think Wu SheYue is using benzun to refer to herself, I think she is using it to refer to the previous owner of the body.
"Miss did you cause trouble again?" Ning Er fearly asks, shaking slightly.
"No, what are you so afraid of." Surely it doesn't mean that when this benzun is acting idiotic, she bites people too?
Ning Er lowers her head. "Nu, nubi feels that today, Third Miss is not the same." She, she didn't see incorrectly right? Before, Third Miss had hit Chun Tao?
"……." With big steps, Wu SheYue walks to the coffin. "Nevermind, I really can’t pretend to be an idiot. How did she die?"
"Miss, you, did you forget stuff again? Yin yiniang…….died, died from an illness…….Ning Er stares doubtfully at Wu SheYue , did Miss say that she could not pretend to be an idiot anymore?"
yiniang – 姨娘, it's what they call the concubines
"Are you sure she died from an illness?"
"I……."
Wu SheYue points at the food tat Chun Tao threw on top of the coffin. "Throw those things away."
"Yes."
Ning Er takes the food outside, Wu SheYue takes off the coffin lid. This coffin is not made out of good wood, too light.
Inside the coffin is a woman wearing clean but old clothing, Wu SheYue bends down to look carefully at Yin shi's appearance. She has seen many dead people and so does not feel aghast, just that from the bottom of her heart, she feels this woman is surprisingly beautiful! Even though her face show signs of liver mortis, it does not obstruct her beauty.
Shi – 氏, just tells people that her surname is Yin.
An area on her chest has a little bloodiness to it. Wu SheYue opens the collar of Yin yiniang's clothing and finds a sword wound. No one even bothered to wipe her body, now all the blood had coagulated on her skin.
Ning Er's shriek is heard from behind Wu SheYue, Wu SheYue does not turn her head back to ask, "Your family's person died from an illness and have to open a hole?"
"Miss!" Ning Er kneels down carefully staring at Wu SheYue, unable to conceal her excitement. "Miss, you really have recovered? You, you're not an idiot? Ning Er didn't hear incorrectly right?!
"I already said that I couldn't continue pretending anymore……." Wu SheYue sighs. "However, right now I don't remember anything, quickly tell me everything you know."
Ning Er is unable to conclude if Wu SheYue is really not an idiot anymore or is acting idiotic to prank people, but she does not wish to think too much of it and cries tears of joy. "Miss, this is good new!" She hastily pulls of Wu SheYue's sleeves. " Yin yiniang was, was killed by 8th prince!"
Having a definite answer of who the murderer was does not suprise her, Wu SheYue seriously asks, "Who is 8th prince? Did Third Mi…….Did I owe him money?"
