Since you've chosen to be my partner, you need to study hard.

You can't be like today, playing around and lacking progress.

Why did he take off his clothes?

What did you do for fun today?

What does he want to do for fun with me at this late hour?

Nothing.

Nothing special.

I'm tired, I'm going to sleep now!

So tonight, we are really going to…

That's it?

It's too insulting.

I'm…

How can he be so indifferent?

I'm just going to sleep.

[The Blessed Bride] [Episode 3]

He really didn't come over the whole night.

It's late morning now. Why are you only just getting up?

What brings you here, Sister?

I hadn't played enough yesterday. So I want to play it again today.

The other two madams are ready now.

We just need you to join us for the game.

She gambled away her whole dowry yesterday.

Her ambition really does exceed her ability.

Sister.

I had a dream last night.

I dreamed that a respected saint

told me that the cash flow into the manor isn't adequate enough.

He told me we shouldn't gamble randomly.

I think such dreams signify bad things.

Maybe we should quit gambling for a while.

R-Really?

So our fun ended before it even started?

Let's not talk about that for now.

Sister.

There's something that I don't understand.

I want to ask you about it.

It's just... how do you usually serve the Young Master in the bed.

I have read many books lately.

For example,

things like "99 Reasons Why His Royal Highness Can't Leave You".

But I haven't seen it in practice.

So I really don't understand.

Sister, so you didn't serve the Young Master last night, either?

Did you also...

The concubines here all married into the manor for the interests of their own families.

The Young Master has never touched any of us.

That doesn't make sense.

With so many beauties around him...

Could it be, maybe the Young Master likes…

No wonder Young Master Lin always comes to our manor!

Could it be that we're just covering for them?

No.

Haven't you seen how the Young Master has left the principal wife position open?

Young Master will only touch the person he likes.

And he'll only choose the person that he loves as his principal wife.

If one day, someone does go into that position,

we won't be able to escape the fate of being abandoned.

What kind of silly reasoning is that?

I think... he must have a dysfunction.

[Economics]

[Different Positions]

Aren't you going to blow out the candles tonight?

Come here.

Getting closer is okay.

Ling Qiye, don't worry.

I won't look down on you for it.

Look down on me for what?

Because...

I know

about...

your dysfunction.

Darling, you're playing with fire here.

Young Master Lin is here, Young Master.

Oh my.

The fragrance is sweet and the tea aromatic.

I guess it must be Bi Tan Piao Xue. (TN: A type of tea)

Come, let's drink some tea first.

How are things going?

I've already taken over the best stores in Linan.

We can't let that person find out about it first.

If he wants to start a business, he would need to rent stores from Xuling Manor first.

When that time comes, we can start collecting rent!

I would guess he'll be furious.

We mustn't be careless.

Don't lose the good store fronts.

Don't worry about it. It's been so many years, you should have more confidence in me.

Oh right, I want a map of the store locations.

What for?

Why ask so many questions?

I got it!

Could it be for Xuling Manor's

really popular, Madam Ying?

I heard that last night…

Qianmu told me that Madam Ying came out of the room with her clothes disheveled last night.

Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were full of emotions.

It seemed that the bed was also a mess.

Old Ling, good for you!

If your mouth feels idle, feel free to eat more pastries.

You're pissed off because you're embarrassed.

What I said is true, right?

You have to think it through.

What if her aim is to gain your trust?

What's wrong with you, Miss?

Nothing.

Miss?

Mind your own business, just leave me alone.

Well...

Jinse,

I want to ask you a question.

The thing is…

I have a friend and she was kissed by someone last night.

Kissed? By who?

It doesn't matter who did that.

What matters is…

Miss! Miss! That friend you mentioned is really you, right?

You're being ridiculous!

What do you mean that friend is me?

I've been serving you for so many years. What friend of yours do I not know about?

All right, Jinse, you've become bolder now.

How dare you make fun of me!

Did you forget my unique skills?

Miss! I'm sorry, Miss!

Miss, I'm sorry!

Madam Ying, Young Master is asking to see you.

If he wants to see me, why doesn't he come in person?

Come with me.

I'll take you out for a walk.

No, thanks. I can do it myself.

Darling, why were you so unrestrained and passionate last night, but so shy today?

What nonsense are you saying?

You just hugged me in a public space.

You're the one who's unrestrained and passionate.

These accessories are so beautiful!

Yes.

Miss, this hairpin suits you well.

I'll take it.

All right!

Miss, allow me to wrap it up for you.

Here you are, Miss.

Thank you.

This pharmacy is owned by the Ling family.

Now, I'm giving it to you.

What it will be used for is up to you.

You're giving it to me?

[Zhushei Inn]

I have an idea!

We can open a mahjong club.

And this place can be set as a rest area, we can put tea and other drinks here.

Next to it can be a massage area.

The customers can play mahjong here after they finish their desserts.

Acupuncture is also an option.

What's wrong?

Are you feeling unwell?

It's nothing.

I'm just a little tired from walking.

Then how about we go have some tea to cool down?

Sure.

Please enjoy.

Are you upset?

No. I'm quite happy today.

Really?

Then I have a question for you.

Do you know who the worst person in the world to fight with is?

The wind.

Why?

Because when you fight with the wind, you can't hurt the wind, but you'll be the one to catch a chill.

This tea is pretty nice.

Ling Qiye.

I suddenly feel like this hairpin isn't all that pretty.

Can you help me exchange it for a different style?

Sure. Then wait for me here. I'll be right back.

Brother.

Brother, what's the matter with you?

What?

You just ate and are hungry again?

I said...

I said what's the matter with you?

Eat well. Live well.

I have no worries then either.

Good.

What's going on here?

It's nothing.

Just an old sickness.

It's only killing me a little.

No big deal.

How have you been doing lately?

I've been well.

What?

You're very troubled?

I said I've been well!

You can't die?

It's okay to not die.

But your biological parents died because of them.

I know.

But Brother, after spending these days with Ling Qiye,

I don't think he's as insidious and cunning as you said.

What did you say?!

Ling Qiye is not that type...

Sister.

Have you forgotten

that it was the Ling family's pharmacy that poisoned your biological parents back then?

I know.

He's my irreconcilable enemy.

In the coming days, you must get along well with Ling Qiye.

It'll help us a lot in our future plans.

I'll be going now then.

What?

You're pregnant?

I said I'm leaving!

That's good. It's good that you are pregnant.

Clean this up.

Candied hawthorn!

Candied hawthorn!

Where did you go just now?

I searched the whole street, but still couldn't find you.

Yue Liuying. Don't forget that he's your enemy.

I saw you hadn't come back yet, so I went and walked around over there.

Hurry and eat it, otherwise, it'll get cold.

I also bought you a lot of accessories.

[How Many Worldly, Handsome Men Are There?]

Old Ling. Your plan to lure these snakes out of their hole is brilliant.

Brilliant indeed.

Seeing through it without saying anything,

using their trick against them to get her to meet with Zhou Han.

She deliberately played a trick to make you leave,

making it convenient to meet up with that old fox.

That old fox must be unable to retain his composure.

I think she was forced.

After all, she hasn't done anything ever to hurt me.

That is indeed the case for now.

For now?

That's an accurate remark.

Qianmu. Based on what happened today, go and investigate Madam Ying.

Yes, Sir.

Brother keeps saying that the Ling family killed my biological parents.

Yet there has been no proof so far.

But Brother also tried his best to please the Ling family,

just so I could marry into the family as a spy.

I must not fail him.

Although Ling Qiye treats me pretty well,

I still have to avenge my parents.

Why do such complicated relationships

have to be carried by a fragile girl like me?

Pigeon. Get down here!

[Xuling Manor]

Young Master. This is the latest intercepted letter.

Young Master?

Godbrother. The plan is going well.

He ate three pastries yesterday and made me have some with him too.

I didn't like that pastry very much, but I ate some anyway.

I feel like such an idiot.

End of report.

Liuying. You don't want to hurt anyone.

Then what should I do?

As Madam Ying intended, let this letter go wherever it should go.

But Madam Ying...

I know what I'm doing.

Go on.

Yes, Young Master.

Just as I expected.

I saw that girl's intention to defect the last time we met.

Now this letter is the best proof!

Sir. How about we...

Don't panic.

I underestimated Ling Qiye.

On that day, Liuying's cheeks were rosy and her breathing was smooth.

So it was clear that there was nothing wrong with her health.

Ling Qiye must have found a way to temporarily suppress the poison within her body.

But Sir, if the poison really has been cleared, then we can no longer threaten her.

Don't worry. That won't happen.

It's just our plan may have already been exposed.

At a time like this, we must not act rashly and alert the enemy.

I had everything planned out already, but Ling Qiye ruined it all!

[Virtuous Deeds Lead to Prosperity]

What's the rush?

Since he has the heart to add fuel to the fire and get involved,

then I'll let this fire burn more intensely.

Sir. Sir, look. Is this intense enough?

Is this enough?

Is this intense?

What are you doing?

By "making the fire burn more intensely",

I actually meant to let you make more trouble to increase the pressure on Ling Qiye.

Who asked you to build a fire here?

- Sir, how about we roast a chicken thigh? - What?

Roast? Roast? Roast?

You!

Put this poison in Yue Liuying's food.

Sir. Why don't you give me some clearer instructions?

If you want to enter the Ling's manor, the best way is to find the weak point in their defense.

Fortunately, I'm witty.

After years of observation, I found a secret passage.

After entering through this secret passage, enter the corridor.

This is the weak point of the Ling's manor.

No security measures will be found there.

Of course, as long as you run fast enough, the accident just now shouldn't concern you.

You must have gotten to the kitchen by now.

I bet you would be complimenting me on my wits at the moment.

Of course, the situation is rather tense.

Let's not talk nonsense. Find the right time to put in the poison.

Miss, come out for dinner.

I also made your favorite flower tea.

I would think that you have succeeded by now and are on the way out.

Is there something wrong with Qianmu's information?

She didn't drink any tea.

You're not going to have some tea after eating?

You're very weird today.

Besides staring at me while I eat, you're even asking me whether I've had some tea?

You're not thinking of...

Miss. The tea was cold, so I warmed it up.

So the tea is here now.

What are you doing?

Liuying. Since you married into the Ling's manor, we haven't seen each other.

So I came specifically to visit you today.

He's finally here.

Thank you, Brother.

For me?

Brother, you are so generous.

Zhuiying.

Follow me and take my stuff to the backyard.

Unexpectedly, you're not only dashing and handsome,

but you're also capable of managing this huge Xuling Manor so well.

You own over 100 shops and they're all raking in the money.

You really are young and promising.

Surely, you must be joking, Master Zhou.

I'm nowhere near your level.

After all, you would even poison the little sister you personally raised.

Young Master Ling, you shouldn't make false accusations.

Liuying is my godsister. Why would I harm her?

Never mind.

Master Zhou. I think it is just past 5 a.m, has some tea first.

Thank you for your concern, Young Master Ling.

I'm not thirsty.

What? You would even decline such a trivial request, Master Zhou?

Or has this tea been poisoned?

Young Master Ling!

Speak with caution.

If not, why are you afraid to drink it?

Master Zhou. I've been impolite. Please forgive me.

I still have something to do.

I'll take my leave.

Luckily, I brought the antidote with me just in case.

Otherwise, I'd be doomed today.

Master Zhou.

This...

Master Zhou. Tea can be drunk casually, but medicine can't be taken casually.

You...

Medicine cannot be taken casually.

Sir! Sir! What's the matter?

You...

Have some water.

Sir. Let's go.

Let's go!

Let's go, Sir!

Where's my godbrother?

Speak with caution.

He went to the washroom.

Speak with caution?
