Not if you cover for me again. By the way, thanks for yesterday, I heard you ended up in the stocks. Bad luck.

I'm not sure there's any hard and fast rules, but if it's any consolation², I think it was worth it.

这事倒没有一定之规，不过希望你高兴，这刑可没有白受。

It went well? Great. Fantastic. She's incredible.

Don't worry. I'll find a way to get you out of it.

别怕。我会找到借口为你开脱的。

Just make sure you don't end up in the stocks this time.

当心这回别上刑台了。

I won't! I think I'm starting to get the hang of this whole deception³ lark⁴.
