i think it's a combination of her overworking herself and being too desperate to find her people

 

[SaltyNori]

hi, I happened to translate this chapter, so here are a few notes about it.

About the pigeon blood ruby bracelet ling zhi was appraising:
[ol]“Its price is estimated at a thousand liang of white silver.”
=> T/N: Liang is an antiquated measure of weight. Though its value varied throughout history, today it’s standardized to 50g, so 1000 liang = 50kg. Currently, 1 kg of pure silver is worth around $569.39, so 1000 liang = approximately $28,469.50. To go further down this rabbit hole [insert ballpark estimations of ruby sizes by comparing them to the characters’ hands], this bracelet has around 23-24 rubies, each around 0.5 carat. From auction records, jewelry with this kind of rubies (they’re rarely sold alone) is worth half a million $ by carat. Let’s be conservative and go with $300.000, which gives us (23 * 0.5 * 300.000) = the bracelet’s actual worth would be around $3.45 million, or 2.3 million Costco hotdogs. [/ol]

About the paper Ling Zhi was holding with the crossed out words (I found it really hard to read because it was cursive, crinkled, sideways, AND crossed out LOL) from bottom to top, L to R:
[ol]1: White jade nine-tailed fox pendant (Chi wei 赤尾 was a legendary nine-tailed fox. It’s probably in the shape of a fox, or maybe it’s supposed to make you super seductive, idk, that’s just what it’s named ;w
2: red jade...(??? sorry I really cannot read that... something + treasure? maybe?) brush holder
3: (???) crystal bowl
4: Hundred-treasures jade tree (Not a jade plant, a literal tree carved out of jade. I would just go for treasured jade tree or precious jade tree, it’s just a fancy nice-sounding expensive name to call it a hundred-treasures jade tree and doesn’t really mean anything.)
5: three bolts of lustrous red silk
6: red gold silver (???) lotus bowl
7: copper (???) lotus
8: red gold pigeon blood ruby
9: vase
10: gold-threaded (hundred? )bird embroidery (could be thousand, can’t tell)
11: sixteen bolts of copper-colored lotus silk
12: brass (agate?) Red jade[/ol]
