“Am I really capable of conceiving?”
Pinyao’s eyes were filled with disbelief yet hope.
Feng Ruqing held onto Wei Pinyao’s hand.
“Aunt Yao, there’s definitely a way. Trust me.”
If it were not for her lack of ability in sowing stronger spirit herbs, she would have detoxified her poison a long time ago.
Even if you were willing to spend a fortune, it was difficult to get hold of spirit herbs.
Wei Pinyao trembled. As long as she was able to give birth to a child, she was willing to offer up anything.
“Pinyao, the princess is right. All you need to do now is to recuperate and get your health back on track. Once you’re physically healthy again, conceiving a child will be possible. As long as you’re not restored back to full health, Xun won’t allow you to conceive a child.”
Qin Yi sighed.
Children were important but to Xun, nothing was more important than Wei Pinyao.
“I understand. From tomorrow onward, I will work hard to recuperate. Thank you so much, Princess. If I am able to give birth, I will never forget the grace you’ve shown me.”
Wei Pinyao’s eyes were red. Being unable to give birth, she had been suffering emotionally for so many years.
“Aunt, it’s getting late now. I should get going.”
Feng Ruqing stretched a little and smiled. She could already see Qin Yi’s attitude toward her had changed drastically. Today’s visit had definitely gone well.
“I’ll send you on your way then.”
Qin Yi groaned as she stood up.
“Alright.”
Qin Yi’s kindness was not something Feng Ruqing would like to refuse. She smiled as she looked at Wei Pinyao.
“Aunt Yao, I’ll come for a visit again.”
Wei Pinyao smiled and nodded. Until the two figures disappeared from view, she kept her gaze fixated upon them.

“Sister Nalan, the princess really did change. Finally, there can be peace in the Nalan family.”
‘That’s great…’
….
In the middle of the hall, Qin Feiyang sat on the main seat. On his left, Qin Xun seemed to be uneasy. His eyes glanced about from time to time and they were filled with worry.
Qin Feiyang was already an elderly man. How could he not see that Qin Xun was worried about Wei Pinyao? He shook his head as he spoke, “Xun, if you can’t sit still, then why don’t you take your leave first?”
After speaking those words, he turned to two guests and said, “Commander Chao, Young Master Chao. My apologies for the commotion.”
Sitting next to Qing Feiyang was a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was masculine and sturdy and at his side was a young and handsome man.
If Feng Ruqing was around, she would be able to tell that this man had been through a lot.
“Haha, Young Master Qin and his wife are deeply in love. It is a well-known thing, so it’s normal for him to be worried. How could I not understand that?”
Qin Xun was delighted that he was given the chance to leave. He quickly paid his respects and left. Just as he was about to leave, he saw a person restlessly waiting outside.
Although this person did not personally take care of Wei Pinyao, she was still someone Wei Pinyao brought from her family. When he saw her walking around anxiously, Qin Xun could not help but feel a sense of unease.
“Hong Xue, why aren’t you by the lady’s side? Why are you here?”
Hong Xue raised her head, her heart filled with joy and her eyes were filled with worry. She was part of the dowry that was given by Madam Wei to Lady Wei. At first she thought that she would be the lady’s personal maid. Instead, she was assigned to the manor, not allowed to stay by the lady’s side.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
