80、Chapter 80: The Prime Minister's Mansion 相府 "My l

　　"My lady," She started to cry.

　　“姑娘”她落下泪来。

　　"Silly girl, I haven't cried, so why are you crying? This is our fate, the fate of being courtesans. We must accept our destiny."

　　“傻丫头，我都没哭，你哭什么？这就是我们的命，身为歌妓的命，我们必须要接受自己的命。”

　　"My lady, your life is so bitter! Our lives are so miserable!"

　　“姑娘，你的命好苦呀！我们的命好苦呀！”

　　"Be adaptable when something happens."

　　“如遇情况，见机行事。”

　　"When we go there, you must remember to be discreet in words and actions. There have many rules there. If we make any mistakes, we'll be punished severely. We must watch out for ourselves.

　　“我们到达相府后，你要记住一定要谨言慎行。相府那样的人家府里规矩繁多。记住，若我们犯了错，处罚也是相当严厉的，所以我们自己一定要多加小心。

　　Speak less, do less, and make no mistakes. For people like them with high status, killing someone like us is easier than squashing an ant. Tomorrow is, in fact, a banquet at Hongmen."

　　少说少动莫犯错，他们那样的人上人想杀你我这样的人比碾死一只蚂蚁还要容易，明天其实就是一场鸿门宴。 ”

　　"My lady, can we not go?"

　　“姑娘，我们能不去吗？”

　　"The invitation is from the Prime Minister's residence. How many heads do we have to refuse to go? Furthermore, I must make this journey because I am to blame for the current circumstances."

　　“相府相邀，我们有几个脑袋敢不去？更何况解铃还须系铃人，这一趟我该去的。”

　　The Prime Minister's Mansion

　　相府

　　Only faint voices could be heard from afar: "She should be beautiful and talented. If not, How could our arrogant young master fall in love with her? The person he likes must be extraordinary."

　　只听得有些声音传出：“这姑娘应该有貌美如花，才华横溢，否则，我们的这位眼高于顶的公子怎么会喜欢上她，他瞧上的人定然是有过人之处。”

　　"She should know what kind of family we are, what kind of status she is, and what she should and shouldn't do!"

　　“她该知道我们是什么人家，她自己是个什么身份，知道什么事情该做，什么事情都不该做！”

　　"What a shameless woman! How dare she seduces our second young master? Shameless！ She really doesn't know who she is!"

　　“真是个不要脸的女人！她居然勾引我们二公子，不要脸，也不看看自己的身份。”

　　"Excuse me. Our madam wants to meet you."A demure girl stopped in front of me.

　　“姑娘，我们夫人想要与你一叙”有个端庄的女子停于我的面前道。

　　Madam Yu, she's here after all, and so soon! I thought to myself.

　　玉夫人，还是来了，这么快呀！我暗道。

　　"Okay," I answered, following the girl walking towards the front pavilion.

　　“好”我回了一声道，然后跟着这个女孩子往前面的亭子里走去。

　　Though I was just seventeen, but my heart feels like that of a white-haired, aged person who has already seen through the world and human nature. I expected all of this, but I never thought it would come so quickly and urgently.

　　现在的我年方十七，可是我内心就好比一个白发苍苍的老人了，早已看破世情人情，预料之中的事情，只是没有想到会这么的快，这么的迫不及待。

　　In the courtyard stood an elegant and wealthy lady, who must be Lady Yu.

　　庭中是一个雍容富贵的夫人，这位就应该就是玉夫人了吧。

　　The Prime Minister's wife, Yu Yujun's biological mother, was rumored to be from a prestigious family. How could such a woman tolerate her own son marrying someone of low status who has sold her singing, laughing, and even deceived others?

　　玉雨均的生母，相国夫人，听闻出自名门世家。这样的一位女人，如何能够容忍自己的亲生生儿子娶一个身份低微，卖过唱卖过笑行过骗的女人呢？

　　Can I say I had no choice? Can I say I am helpless? Can I confide in her about my background and seek sympathy?

　　我能说我是没有选择吗？我能说我是无可奈何吗？我能向她吐露我的身世，寻求同情吗？
