[Debit Queen]

[Episode 21]

Tomorrow,

I'm going to visit Wanrong's home.

You don't have to wait for me for dinner.

How come there are people who invite you

to dinner every day?

My wife has let me down, too.

She forgets her old lover when she has a new lover,

leaving me alone in the room.

I

prefer the way how you

used to talk less.

Then I'll just resume my style

of looking aloof.

Oh, come on.

No matter what you look like,

your expressions are almost the same.

No matter what my wife looks like,

I just like her.

Young Master! Young Madam!

I'm sorry.

What's the matter? Say it.

Well...

Young... Young Madam.

I've put

that paint in your shop.

Well, you...

Prepare a carriage for me.

I'll go there later after I get changed.

Well,

I need to deliver some face powder

to Wanrong.

Prepare it for me.

Okay.

I'll ask Fuding to put it

in the carriage by that time.

I have to go.

Young Master.

I told you to keep an eye on Third Uncle, didn't I?

Why are you back?

I haven't been by your side

for so many days.

I'm worried that you can't get used to it.

Have you found anything?

I haven't found anything yet so far.

Have you found out about the truth of the case

of the Lingnan Box?

I also haven't found any clues yet.

Then why don't you go now?

Okay.

How come it's empty?

Oh, Xu Zilu,

how can you be so careless?

The box is nice anyway.

I'll take it.

Young Madam.

The carriage is ready.

Coming.

[Xu's Mansion]

Alright.

I'm just going to paint my shop.

You don't have to go with me.

You didn't even ask me to help you

with the opening of your shop last time.

Now that I'm your husband,

you still don't let me go?

It's not that I don't let you help me.

I'm just afraid that since you don't know

how to paint a house,

the more you help, the more trouble you'll bring.

Fine. I won't go.

Didn't... Didn't you say that you would help me?

Why did you change your mind?

You didn't even insist on it.

Since my wife is

begging me to go,

then I'll just go.

However,

I want a reward.

How come you even want a reward?

Let's go paint the shop now.

After we finish it,

we can come back early for a rest.

You're asking your own husband to do

physical work with you in the middle of the night.

I guess only my wife would do

something like that.

The opening ceremony is coming soon.

Time is limited and the task is heavy.

Besides,

it was not easy for me to finally buy the paint

after I bargained with the shop owner.

No one asked him to send it at this hour.

What's wrong?

What are you doing?

Stop!

Darling.

Protect yourself.

I'll go chase him.

Zilu!

This is not okay.

I'm going to report it to the police.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Tell me! Who sent you here?

Buddy, you don't value martial virtues at all.

I just asked you

who sent you here.

If you didn't want to tell me, you could have left.

Why did you hurt me?

Who are you?

Catch him for me!

Yes!

Zilu!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Why are you bleeding?

It's just a a minor injury.

It doesn't matter.

Xu Zilu.

What happened just now?

Who was that man?

I didn't get a clear answer.

Can you

dispatch more people

to guard my wife's shop

more closely?

Don't worry.

Am... Am I very close to you?

How dare you order me around?

Let's go back and bandage your wound at once.

You're bleeding.

I'm fine.

You're not polite at all.

I'm going to put some ointment on your wound.

It might hurt.

Just bear the pain.

Does it hurt?

It's just a minor injury.

It doesn't hurt at all.

I'm going to bandage it for you.

You don't have to bandage it up so well.

Don't move.

Let me do it.

Did I hurt you?

No, no.

I'm sorry.

Darling.

It's done.

I'm injured.

It's fine if it hurts a bit.

Luckily, you're not injured.

Otherwise,

I'll feel very sad.

Shut up.

Sorry to make you worry.

I'm fine.

Don't worry.

It hasn't been so long since you

had an accident in Lingnan.

And something like this happened again today.

How can I not be scared?

Darling.

When you hit me just now,

you did it more cruelly than that thief.

I hit you for Mother.

Because you risked your own life.

How could you not think about

your identity as the master of the family?

There are several hundred people in the Xu Family.

If something wrong had happened to you,

what about the business?

What about them?

My wife is so capable.

If something wrong had really happened to me,

the Xu Family

and my mother would be entrusted to you.

Don't say such ominous things.

Then how could you not think about

what I should do?

I'm just kidding.

I got it.

From now on,

I won't act so rashly again.

Don't lie to me.

I'm not lying to you.

Well,

this thief in Furong City

was really strange.

There was nothing

in my shop.

What could he steal?

He...

must be a new thief.

And he doesn't value martial virtues at all.

What should we do now?

Lyu Qingfeng is investigating the case now.

Let's wait for his results.

Don't go to the shop recently.

I've finished painting my shop.

I need to open it sooner or later, don't I?

It's okay.

I'll go there during the day from now on.

At night,

I'll close it early.

But as for you,

don't forget what you've promised me.

You have to be careful, too.

Okay.

I've kept it in mind.

Butler Chen.

What... What is this?

Young Madam.

This is Young Master's order.

Since something

like that happened yesterday,

Young Master has been very worried

about your safety.

So he specially

asked me to pick several

smart, capable

and strong workers

to protect you.

Come on.

Show it to Young Madam.

I don't want it.

Why don't you want it?

Since I'm a girl,

if four men are following me when I'm out,

it'll be inappropriate, won't it?

So far, I haven't found any female guards

who have mastered some martial arts skills.

Just make do with it.

But I have to do business outside.

These four men look so fierce.

They'll scare the customers.

They just don't look so gentle

on the facade.

Right?

That's right.

Yes.

You're right, Young Master.

Come on.

Show your gentleness to Young Madam.

One, two, three. Smile.

Look. How gentle they are.

Just let them stay by your side

to protect you.

Only in this way can I rest assured.

But...

Ling Se.

It's so dangerous outside.

You can't always

make me keep thinking about your safety

and be unable to do anything else, right?

Be good.

Okay?

Then I'll get back to work.

Buddy.

What business

do you do in this shop?

Buddies,

while you're standing here,

before my shop is opened,

you'll just scare my customers away.

Se.

Yeniang!

Se!

What? Does this mean that

I'm not welcome here?

You're welcome here.

Why are you here?

Without seeing you for a few months,

I think you have quite heavy taste now.

Well,

it's a long story.

Let's talk inside.

-Let's go. -Okay.

Young Master.

I'm fine.

Young Master.

You always had an accident when I was not by your side.

You always had an accident when I was not by your side.

No matter what happens in the future,

you have to let me follow you closely.

Alright.

By the way,

I asked you to investigate

the sources of the goods

of our current perfume shops.

How is it going with your investigation?

I followed them all the way to their warehouse.

But their actions

were very covert.

I couldn't get into the warehouse.

So,

the clues are not completely connected yet.

How about this?

I'll teach you a trick.

Think of a way

to be a member of them.

In this way, isn't it easier to investigate the case?

Just go.

Well...

That's not right.

Young Master.

I have to stay by your side to protect you.

The most important thing now

is to find out about the sources.

Don't come back if you can't find out about the truth.

Young Master, don't worry.

I won't let you down.

How many years have you worked?

Two years.

Go over there.

Okay.

Buddy.

What's your name?

Ding Fu!

Ding Fu!

How many years have you worked?

One... One year.

One year?

With your small figure,

you look like a weak man.

Can you do this?

Buddy.

I can do it!

Look.

Buddy, look at me.

I... I'll call you... Big Brother.

Okay.

You have big strength.

Take him to the place where we live.

Buddy.

Don't I need to work today?

I'll let you know if there's work for you.

Why are you asking so many questions?

Okay.

Just go.

My name is Wang Er.

[Ping'er, I dreamt of you, and I still miss you after I woke up. I love you so much.]

Your Grace.

His Highness is here.

Your Highness, why are you here?

I've heard that

you like eating

the Stinky Tofu from the Xilin Street, right?

So I ordered someone to buy it for you.

Taste it

while it's still hot.

Your Highness.

Recently, I've been feeling unwell

and had a bad appetite.

Your Highness, just take it back.

Are you okay?

Do you need to

send for a doctor?

I'm fine.

It's not a serious disease.

I'll recover after a rest for a few days.

This is not okay.

You are a noble girl.

You suffered a lot when you were away from

Furong City during this half a year.

Now that you're back,

you should take good care of yourself to recuperate.

Look.

Your cute face

has become...

a bit thinner.

Please behave yourself, Your Highness.

Moreover, our wedding is coming soon.

By that time, it'll attract the attention of the entire country,

and the people will congratulate us.

We can't let anything

go wrong with your health.

What if I don't want to marry you?

Ping'er.

Don't say such childish things

to express your anger anymore.

Our engagement was decided a long time ago.

How can you go back on your word again?

But

I have no feelings for you.

With your identity,

isn't it good for you to marry a girl

who comes from a noble family

and has feelings for you?

After our wedding,

you will be

the Princess of the Qing State.

By that time,

no matter what you want,

I can satisfy your needs.

You can't give me what I want.

Enough!

Ping'er.

Considering that you are young and ignorant,

I can forgive you for all that

you've done before.

But if you keep

making trouble again and again,

I think you're just

immature.

There are so many noble ladies in Furong City.

Why do you have to force me to marry you?

I don't want anyone else.

I only want you.

Why?

We had better get married as soon as possible.

However,

I kindly advise you that

even though I'm not

the one whom you love,

don't try to escape again.

After all, our engagement

was decided by His Majesty.

It's not a trifling matter.

If you try to escape marriage again,

you'll be guilty of deceiving His Majesty.

The consequence

is not something you can

afford alone.

Eat it while it's still hot.

Don't wait till it gets cold.

I kindly advise you that

even though I'm not

the one whom you love,

don't try to escape again.

After all, our engagement

was decided by His Majesty.

It's not a trifling matter.

If you try to escape marriage again,

you'll be guilty of deceiving His Majesty.

The consequence

is not something you can

afford alone.

Ping'er.

When on earth can we

meet each other again?

I'm also wondering how you're doing now.

Come in.

What are you doing?

I'm...

reading a book carefully.

Then do you want to read this?

Why didn't you take it out earlier?

I knew it.

This is the only way to keep you alive.

Ping'er gave it to me.

You're so petty-minded.

I'll just take a look.

And I may not understand it when I read it.

Besides,

who wants to read those

mushy and sentimental words between you two?

Just read it yourself.

[Wang, it's all in the past that we met each other. I'll face the storm alone from now on. I wish that you and I could live a peaceful life respectively.]

Go!

Why are you here again?

Her Grace won't see anyone.

Will she really not see anyone just as you said so?

Get lost at once!

Take a look.

Make way, please. Make way.

It's fresh.

Take a look.

Make way, please. Make way.

Excuse me.

Why are you so late today?

The tender cucumbers you had ordered were out of stock.

I went to several markets

and then bought them finally.

So I'm a bit late.

Deliver the goods inside.

Put it here.

Come with me to settle the bill.

Okay.

This Marquis's Mansion is so heavily guarded.

How can I get insdie?

Her Grace refused to eat again?

Yes.

The snacks and fruits we brought her yesterday

were scarcely eaten.

It'll be a waste to throw them away.

We can eat them.

I've said that no one is allowed to

disturb me, haven't I?

Why did you refuse to eat?

Wang!

Why are you...

Then why did you suddenly

say goodbye to me?

Aren't you going to

take the Metropolitan Examination soon?

Prepare for the exam carefully first.

We can talk about

our relationship after you finish the exam.

Okay?

Well,

after I finish the exam,

will I be unable to see you again?

-Your Grace. -We…

Hide... Hide yourself.

What's the matter?

Your Grace.

Prince Xian is here.

His Lordship wants you to go there.

Got it.

I'll go after I put the things away.

Yes.

Wang.

Wait for me here.

Don't go anywhere.

I'll be back soon.

Okay.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Don't stand on ceremony, Your Grace.

There's no need to do this between us.

Grandpa,

why do you want to see me?

His Highness came here personally

in order to discuss the wedding date with you.

Your Grace.

It's been over half a year since His Majesty

granted us a marriage.

Now that you've returned from your journey,

I'm going to report it to His Majesty

so that we can get married as soon as possible.

So soon?

It's not very soon.

If you had not travelled around

the Qing State to see the scenery of each city,

we would have

got married two months earlier.

Your Highness.

I still want to stay with my grandfather

to take care of him for some more time.

I don't want to get married so soon.

A grown girl can't be kept at home all her life.

She'll have to get married sooner or later.

Grandpa.

I...

I...

I...

Ping'er doesn't want to marry him.

Why do you have to force her?

Do you have the right to speak here?

Marquis,

I can't believe that this maid

in your mansion is so ill-bred like this.

When did our mansion

hire such a tall maid?

She's my maid.

Her name is Wang'er. She's a newcomer.

She is not very smart.

She talks nonsense sometimes.

Just ignore her.

I'll take her away first.

Let's go.

Stop!

Wang'er?

Isn't this Candidate Wang?

How dare you!

Isn't this just a man?

You...

Ping'er, what's going on?

Grandpa.

I brought Wang

into our mansion.

I don't want to marry Prince Xian.

I only want to marry Wang.

You...

This is ridiculous!

I want to marry someone I love.

Is that wrong?

We'll talk about

your affairs later.

Guards!

Drive this pervert

out of here at once!

Yes!

Guards!

Drive him out for me!

-Yes! -Yes!

Put me down!

Put me down now!

Wang!

Ping'er!

Ping'er!

You don't want to marry me.

But you want to marry such a person.

What kind of person is he?

In my mind,

he's the best man.

Ping'er.

Marquis.

Actually, there's another reason for me

to come here today.

The wedding day is coming soon.

But your granddaughter and I

still don't know each other very well.

Today,

I'm going to take her back to my mansion

so that she can live there for a few days.

I can take this chance to learn about

her preferences.

In this way,

all the servants in my mansion

can get well prepared for it.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, look.

You two haven't finished the wedding ceremony yet.

If she lives in your mansion so hastily,

isn't it quite inappropriate?

I didn't mention it just now

because I was worried about this.

But now it seems that

your granddaughter is not quite close to me.

But she's

quite close to someone else.

I really feel uneasy.

I can understand why you're worried about this.

However,

if Ping'er goes to your mansion now and lives there,

I'm afraid it will affect her reputation.

Besides,

if her aunt wants to see Ping'er,

it'll be quite inconvenient, too.

In my opinion,

since the wedding day is coming soon,

how about this?

During this period,

just let Ping'er stay at home

for self-cultivation.

You're not allowed to go anywhere.

Just wait for your wedding.

In that case...

it's fine.

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Stop!

This is the only trick you guys can use.

What did you say?

Scram!

Young Master.

Guards!

Young Master.

It's me.

Fuding?

You...

Why are you wearing this fake moustache?

Young Master, you taught me this.

You asked me to infiltrate into the inner part

of the enemy's organization.

How is your investigation?

Young Master,

according to my various inquiries

in the past few days,

what Third Master is doing

is probably

related to smuggled goods.

Where did the goods come from?

I'm not sure about this yet.

But I heard them

talking about

a certain prince.

A prince?

Yes.

There are so many princes in Furong City.

Who on earth is he?

What else?

There's... There's nothing else.

Thanks for your hard work.

Thank you for your concern.

My heart feels so warm.

I must see Ping'er today.

If I can't enter from the front gate,

I must see her even if I have to climb over the wall.

Wang?

Ping'er.

Wang.

Ping'er.

Be careful.

It's raining.

Beware of the slippery floor.

Ping'er.

Why did you climb over the wall?

Did they give you a hard time?

I was in a hurry to see you.

They didn't give me a hard time.

My grandpa is still here.

Though he has a sharp tongue,

he's actually a soft-hearted man.

That's good.

Ping'er.

Even if I have to risk my own life,

I won't let you marry

someone you don't like.

Wang.

Let's elope with each other.

Okay.

That's great.

Let's go.

This is not okay.

I can't take this risk

until the last moment.

I don't want you to suffer.

Nor do I want you to feel wronged.

Wait for me.

I'll take the Metropolitan Examination soon.

When I become the Number One Scholar,

I'll ask His Majesty

to marry you to me.

By that time,

your grandpa won't think that

I'm such a loser.

I'll go beg your grandpa again

and ask him to beg His Majesty

for mercy with us.

Okay.

I'll wait for you.

Whether you can be the Number One Scholar or not,

I'll just wait for you.

Ping'er.

You have to suffer for a few more days.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here for you.

You...

You kissed me?

[Xu Mansion]

You didn't leave anything behind, did you?

Sister.

You've told me 800 times.

Everything is

inside here.

That's because of

your bad habit of being so forgetful,

isn't it?

Remember to pick us up after the exam.

We'll be taking the exam for three days and nights.

We'll definitely get exhausted.

Do your best.

You're even educating me?

Alright.

Got it.

For Ping'er,

I'll do my best.

Young Masters.

Get into the carriage now.

Just go.

Sister, Brother-in-law,

I have to go.

Do your best in the exam.

Got it.

Sister, Brother-in-law, bye.

Candied haws!

Sir.

Give me a bowl of wontons.

[Joy Game Shop]

-Good! -Good! -Good!

Ma'am.

Where can I get some drinks?

Ladies, please have a seat inside.

I'll make some Aromatic Tea for you.

How do we play this?

It's like this.

This one

is used to shake the dice.

This total number of the dice is the number of steps.

Then the number is four.

Excuse me. Make way, please.

Take care, sir.

Embrace joy and pleasure in your flourishing life.

Never show an empty cup to the moon.

Joy Game Shop.

Young Master, your literary skills are so good.

Young Master, wait a minute.

It's done.

Darling.

Have fun.

You're here.

Darling, wish you a good opening

and wish you prosperity.

You gave me a small tangerine previously.

Now there are so many tangerines.

So the gift has been upgraded?

Of course.

My wife has opened the first game shop

in Furong City.

So,

the pomp should be upgraded, shouldn't it?

Come on. This way.

Well,

thank you, Young Master Xu.

Didn't you say that

in this shop,

guests can feel at home?

I'm already here.

But I haven't seen anyone receiving me.

Why are you here?

It's all because of Liu Yeniang.

She commended this new shop

very highly.

Coincidentally, our manager also

came to Furong City.

So I'm here to take a look.

Here's a red packet for you.

Wish you a good opening.

Thank you.

What's going on?

Tidy it up at once.

Okay.

Wait.

Go tell His Highness now.

Your Highness.

I'm going to

drink a toast to Master Xu.

I am indeed

using your trade caravan

to smuggle munitions.

Why are you panicking?

I always do things meticulously without any mistakes.

No one else knows this thing

except you and me.

But those workers...

They had to risk

their lives earning money anyway.

Beiyun State is such a powerful country.

With the help of the Beiyun State,

if I want to become

the emperor,

it is possible.

What?

You don't believe me?

Your Highness.

Treason

is a capital crime which implicates all the nine branches of a family.

How can a man aspiring to

big achievements be such a coward?

What's more,

if we fail,

it'll be a capital crime.

But if we succeed,

we will have endless glory and wealth.

Master Xu,

why are you so sure that I'd fail?

I've been hiding my ambitions for many years for this goal.

After I marry the granddaughter

of Marquis Wei,

I'll become an in-law of the Grand General in the present dynasty.

By that time,

I'll have the military power.

Plus the help from the Beiyun State,

it's just like adding wings to a tiger.

Master Xu,

do you still think that I will fail?

I dare not.

I have entrusted

all these important tasks

of life and death to you.

Master Xu,

you won't let me down,

will you?

I will definitely try all my best

to work for you

and spare no effort in performing my duty.

Good.

In the future,

I'll definitely treat you well.

If you help me achieve my great cause,

I guarantee that you'll be promoted to a high-ranking position

and live a wealthy life.

By that time, Xu Zilu

won't even deserve to hold your shoes for you.

Young Master.

In the past few days,

his delivery warehouse

has been more heavily guarded.

It took me a lot of effort,

but I still couldn't get any information.

Young Master.

Are you thinking

which prince they were talking about

in the news I heard last time?

I'm afraid

what's behind this

will implicate the Xu Family.

But

Third Master has already

left the Xu Family.

Although his name

has been removed from the genealogy,

how can the kinship

be cut off thoroughly?

How about this?

Contact Third Uncle.

I want to see him

and ask him about it clearly.

Yes.

My Lord.

Xu Zilu wants to see you.

Hot steamed buns.

So delicious.

Fresh wontons for sale.

It'll be ready soon.

I'll clear up the table soon.

Give me a bowl of wontons.

Okay.

Wait a moment.

Where are you going

with a fire lance?

Yushan.

I've warned you about

the consequences

of betraying me.

Clean up the traces.

Yes.
