00:01:34,980 --> 00:01:38,970
[Episode 8]
12
00:01:40,039 --> 00:01:41,560
Back then, a fortune teller said
13
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,070
that I was ill-fated.
14
00:01:43,590 --> 00:01:45,000
He said I would bring disaster
upon the family.
15
00:01:47,070 --> 00:01:49,120
She feared that she might be implicated
and lose favor,
16
00:01:50,430 --> 00:01:51,920
so she came up with a way
17
00:01:52,509 --> 00:01:53,400
to make my father
18
00:01:53,870 --> 00:01:54,950
send me to somewhere distant.
19
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:56,070
That's the gist of it.
20
00:01:57,070 --> 00:01:57,640
In the past,
21
00:01:57,870 --> 00:01:59,200
he wasn't willing
to talk about his background.
22
00:01:59,710 --> 00:02:01,759
I only know
that he was shunned by his family,
23
00:02:01,759 --> 00:02:02,950
and he was exiled to guard
the frontier.
24
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:03,920
I never expected him
25
00:02:04,430 --> 00:02:04,870
to have
26
00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:06,120
a similar fate as me.
27
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:07,150
From birth,
28
00:02:07,509 --> 00:02:08,950
he was burdened
with the fate of being a jinx.
29
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,400
Could that fortune teller
30
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:11,479
be a fraud
31
00:02:11,759 --> 00:02:13,080
who tried to seek wealth or fame
32
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:14,120
with that claim?
33
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,680
If even it's a fraud,
34
00:02:17,710 --> 00:02:19,000
it's pointless
35
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,000
to pursue this now.
36
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:22,800
In the end,
37
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,520
it's the parents
38
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,560
who made the decision.
39
00:02:28,470 --> 00:02:29,590
You say it's pointless,
40
00:02:29,870 --> 00:02:30,750
but I believe
41
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,400
this is something you must do.
42
00:02:32,870 --> 00:02:33,910
If the weak
43
00:02:34,079 --> 00:02:34,960
are unjustly blamed
44
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,910
with baseless accusations
45
00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:36,960
by others
46
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:38,430
yet refuse to seek the truth
47
00:02:38,430 --> 00:02:39,430
or fight back,
48
00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:40,910
they only validate
49
00:02:40,910 --> 00:02:42,030
those wicked people's lies
50
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,750
and become their accomplices.
51
00:02:44,590 --> 00:02:46,360
If you were in my shoes,
52
00:02:48,310 --> 00:02:49,360
would you pursue it
53
00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:51,630
after being framed?
54
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,710
If I were framed,
55
00:02:58,310 --> 00:02:59,710
I'd make sure those responsible
56
00:03:01,590 --> 00:03:02,310
pay the price.
57
00:03:04,030 --> 00:03:04,560
Mr. Yu,
58
00:03:05,430 --> 00:03:06,400
after all these years,
59
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,079
don't you wish to know the truth?
60
00:03:09,910 --> 00:03:11,190
Those two
from the Capital Administration Office
61
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:12,870
are giving me a headache.
62
00:03:17,150 --> 00:03:19,360
Who reported the Marquis' mansion
63
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,240
for burying bodies?
64
00:03:21,590 --> 00:03:22,400
It was
65
00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:24,190
the fourth young lady
of the Count of Dongping's Mansion,
66
00:03:24,750 --> 00:03:25,280
Jiang Si.
67
00:03:26,190 --> 00:03:26,960
Cao Xingyu
68
00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:28,240
is her cousin's husband.
69
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:30,840
That day,
70
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,079
her cousin, Jiang Qian,
71
00:03:32,150 --> 00:03:33,470
invited her sisters and cousins
72
00:03:33,590 --> 00:03:34,520
to the Marquis of Changxing's Mansion.
73
00:03:35,079 --> 00:03:37,000
Miss Si couldn't fall asleep,
74
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,430
so she went to the garden.
75
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,079
She stumbled upon the servants
burying the body.
76
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:42,840
So she reported it
77
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:43,710
to the Capital Administration Office.
78
00:03:44,910 --> 00:03:45,750
But then,
79
00:03:46,030 --> 00:03:47,660
Cao Xingyu twisted the truth and accused
80
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,190
his own wife
81
00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:50,750
of ordering the servant
to commit murder.
82
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:51,590
Jiang Si
83
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:52,960
stepped forward as a witness.
84
00:03:53,630 --> 00:03:55,360
The fourth young lady
of the Jiang family?
85
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,910
She's also no ordinary woman.
86
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:00,870
She dares to stand against
the Marquis of Changxing.
87
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,360
They sure are bold.
88
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,400
None of them are to be underestimated.
89
00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:07,470
Thank...
90
00:04:08,310 --> 00:04:09,430
Thank you for your praise, Your Majesty.
91
00:04:09,820 --> 00:04:12,540
[Princess Royal's Mansion]
92
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:13,080
Your Highness,
93
00:04:13,910 --> 00:04:15,150
the Gale Guards
94
00:04:15,150 --> 00:04:16,080
once arrested Cao Xingyu
95
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:17,800
on charges of conspiring with Nanwu.
96
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:19,470
Fortunately,
97
00:04:19,910 --> 00:04:21,190
His Majesty didn't mention it this time.
98
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,190
It seems
99
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,040
we've avoided the trouble for now.
100
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:29,800
My brother
101
00:04:30,390 --> 00:04:31,510
is inscrutable.
102
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,720
Now that he keeps it to himself,
103
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,390
it may lead to real trouble.
104
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:37,600
Your Majesty.
105
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,160
I have seized all documents
106
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,240
related to Divine Bliss
107
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,120
[Gale Guards]
and Nanwu
108
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:47,190
found in the Marquis
of Changxing's Mansion.
109
00:04:48,830 --> 00:04:49,630
Put them away.
110
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:51,750
Speak no more about this.
111
00:04:53,390 --> 00:04:54,950
Despite knowing something is amiss,
112
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,870
you choose to set it aside.
113
00:04:58,190 --> 00:04:59,270
Why, Your Majesty?
114
00:04:59,630 --> 00:05:01,630
Spies from Nanwu
have infiltrated among us
115
00:05:01,830 --> 00:05:03,000
shockingly
116
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,190
deep.
117
00:05:05,830 --> 00:05:06,920
They might find any opportunity
118
00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:08,630
to frame important officials around me.
119
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,950
We need to be vigilant.
120
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,240
The Crown Prince has arrived.
121
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,040
Please punish me, Father.
122
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,190
Prince Qi has arrived.
123
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,480
Please punish me, Father.
124
00:05:30,510 --> 00:05:33,270
The First Prince and Third Prince
have arrived.
125
00:05:34,750 --> 00:05:36,480
The Fifth Prince has arrived.
126
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,870
The Sixth Prince and Eighth Prince
have arrived.
127
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:45,630
- Please punish me, Father.
- Please punish me, Father.
128
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:48,430
You all entered the palace
so late at night.
129
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,680
What have you done wrong?
130
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:51,390
Father,
131
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:53,830
[Yu Lang, the Crown Prince]
though I have met the heir apparent...
132
00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:56,000
No, it's the criminal Cao Xingyu.
133
00:05:56,159 --> 00:05:57,070
I've met him a few times,
134
00:05:57,510 --> 00:05:59,240
but we're not exactly close.
135
00:05:59,630 --> 00:06:00,680
I had no idea
136
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:02,390
of his crime at all.
137
00:06:02,830 --> 00:06:04,510
Father, though the Marquis of Changxing
138
00:06:04,830 --> 00:06:06,270
[Yu Zhang, the Prince Qi]
and I have been on bad terms,
139
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:08,480
there has not been such a heinous murder
140
00:06:08,510 --> 00:06:09,240
in Ling'an
141
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:10,750
for many years.
142
00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:12,720
The people of Ling'an praise you
143
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,430
for personally interrogating Cao Xingyu.
144
00:06:14,950 --> 00:06:16,160
Your wisdom is unparalleled, Father.
145
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:18,680
- Your wisdom is unparalleled, Father.
- Your wisdom is unparalleled, Father.
146
00:06:21,190 --> 00:06:22,310
I see.
147
00:06:22,310 --> 00:06:23,800
You all came here for Cao Xingyu's case.
148
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:27,920
All right. Get up.
149
00:06:28,070 --> 00:06:29,270
- Thank you, Father.
- Thank you, Father.
150
00:06:35,750 --> 00:06:37,040
Since you are all here,
151
00:06:37,430 --> 00:06:38,630
I have a question for you.
152
00:06:39,630 --> 00:06:40,510
Do you think
153
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,240
I have been too strict
154
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:43,680
with you?
155
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,560
Crown Prince, answer me.
156
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:55,240
Father,
157
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:56,680
you're strict with me
158
00:06:56,870 --> 00:06:58,070
for my own good
159
00:06:58,310 --> 00:06:59,560
and for the good of the nation.
160
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,270
So you do think I'm strict?
161
00:07:03,070 --> 00:07:03,830
No.
162
00:07:04,430 --> 00:07:06,190
No, you're not strict at all.
163
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,040
Look how frightened you are.
164
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:11,120
Prince Qi, your turn.
165
00:07:12,070 --> 00:07:12,720
Father,
166
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:14,830
as princes,
167
00:07:14,830 --> 00:07:15,750
we enjoy the people's offerings.
168
00:07:16,190 --> 00:07:17,310
We must hold ourselves
to strict standards.
169
00:07:18,750 --> 00:07:20,120
Enough. Stop.
170
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:22,480
You're not answering my question.
171
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,160
I have eight sons and six daughters,
172
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:27,950
yet my duty keeps me occupied.
173
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,310
I don't have much energy
174
00:07:31,510 --> 00:07:33,560
to guide most of you.
175
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:34,480
Of course,
176
00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:37,750
the Crown Prince is my heir.
177
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,120
Naturally, I'm strict with him.
178
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,360
If you have anything
179
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:42,560
on your mind,
180
00:07:42,630 --> 00:07:44,480
speak freely tonight.
181
00:07:45,430 --> 00:07:46,720
Don't bottle it up.
182
00:07:47,870 --> 00:07:49,480
Holding things in for too long
183
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,560
can push a person over the edge,
184
00:07:52,190 --> 00:07:53,240
leading them to seek solace
185
00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:55,720
in inappropriate ways.
186
00:07:56,310 --> 00:07:57,120
Do you understand?
187
00:07:58,070 --> 00:08:00,430
- We shall obey your order, Father.
- We shall obey your order, Father.
188
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:06,000
Someone is missing here.
189
00:08:28,070 --> 00:08:28,750
Your Majesty,
190
00:08:29,390 --> 00:08:30,310
it's windy tonight.
191
00:08:30,870 --> 00:08:32,680
[Tiande Hall]
Please return to your palace and rest.
192
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,510
Please judge fairly, Your Majesty.
193
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,240
Zhang and I are innocent.
194
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,000
You can't blame us
195
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,240
because of Qi.
196
00:08:47,630 --> 00:08:49,030
All the ministers say
197
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,390
he has brought disaster upon Zhou.
198
00:08:55,270 --> 00:08:56,600
So please send him away.
199

[Yu Qi's birth mother]
200
00:08:57,390 --> 00:08:58,720
[Imperial Concubine Xian]
Far away from the capital
201
00:08:59,390 --> 00:09:02,080
and Zhou.
202
00:09:02,790 --> 00:09:05,150
You carried Qi for ten months.
203
00:09:05,870 --> 00:09:07,030
Can you bear to part with him?
204
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,510
What can I do even if I can't bear it?
205
00:09:11,510 --> 00:09:12,670
He was born
206
00:09:12,670 --> 00:09:15,030
a harbinger of misfortune.
207
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,240
Qi was sent to the Southern Frontier
208
00:09:21,510 --> 00:09:23,320
as an infant.
209
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:25,750
It was a war-ridden place.
210
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,270
He was left alone there
without parental care.
211
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:29,960
I wonder
212
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,360
what kind of person he has become.
213
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,750
But this boy is quite stubborn.
214
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,790
Every time Cui Xu went for inspections,
215
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:39,080
I ordered him to visit Qi,
216
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,440
but he always refused to meet him.
217
00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:45,150
He must resent me.
218
00:09:45,630 --> 00:09:46,270
Your Majesty,
219
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,750
if you miss the Seventh Prince,
220
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,200
you can simply summon him back.
221
00:09:51,790 --> 00:09:53,240
Ever since his birth,
222
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,440
the war with Nanwu
223
00:09:54,630 --> 00:09:55,840
has never ceased.
224
00:09:56,630 --> 00:09:59,550
In recent years, the Nightingale Sect
225
00:09:59,550 --> 00:10:01,630
has shown signs of running amok in Zhou.
226
00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:03,840
Returning now
227
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,270
will only make him
everyone's target once again.
228
00:10:07,750 --> 00:10:08,870
But Your Majesty,
229
00:10:09,270 --> 00:10:10,510
the Seventh Prince
230
00:10:10,510 --> 00:10:12,320
inherited your valor.
231
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:13,720
He has led the Red Plume Cavalry
232
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,080
to countless victories.
233
00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:17,720
Is that not proof
234
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:18,910
that he's not
the harbinger of misfortune
235
00:10:18,910 --> 00:10:20,390
against the country?
236
00:10:21,670 --> 00:10:23,030
It is not yet time.
237
00:10:25,630 --> 00:10:27,750
I'll have to think it through.
238
00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:36,270
Chief.
239
00:10:38,750 --> 00:10:39,910

240
00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:46,320
Go investigate
the Directorate of Astronomy.
241
00:10:51,790 --> 00:10:52,870
Didn't you always refuse
242
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:54,480
to look into
243
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,320
what happened back then?
244
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:57,480
I've changed my mind.
245
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:00,750
I want to find out
246
00:11:01,670 --> 00:11:03,600
who framed me.

Miss Chi,
248
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,120
this is the most bustling street here.
249
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:13,910
Right.
250
00:11:14,390 --> 00:11:15,550
Look at this store, Miss Jiang.
251
00:11:15,550 --> 00:11:16,870
It has been here for years.
252
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:17,840
It's very famous.
253
00:11:17,910 --> 00:11:19,270
There's also a popular eatery
just ahead.
254
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,000
Miss Chi, what do you think
255
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:22,840
of the location of this store?
256
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,510
[Qiaoxiang Pavilion]
There are plenty of stores around here.
257
00:11:25,750 --> 00:11:26,790
If you open a store here,
258
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:27,750
you won't have to worry
about not having customers.
259
00:11:28,390 --> 00:11:29,600
That's exactly what I thought.
260
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:30,840
If I get to run
261
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,630
a business here,
262
00:11:32,670 --> 00:11:34,270
I'll need extra help.
263
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:35,270
Miss Chi,
264
00:11:35,670 --> 00:11:37,510
you're quick-witted and smart.
265
00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:39,720
Would you assist me?

267
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:42,030

268
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:42,960
from great peril,
269
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:43,870
and I can't
270
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,960
thank you enough.
271
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:47,480
Now you're offering me
yet another kindness.
272
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:48,910
I really shouldn't be
in your debt again.
273
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:51,240
What are your plans for the future then?
274
00:11:51,910 --> 00:11:53,870
I plan to return to my hometown
275
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,080
and start a school in the village
276
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:58,150

to study
278
00:11:59,750 --> 00:12:00,960

00:12:02,630 --> 00:12:04,510

for the greater good.

I'll buy the store.

after buying them,

00:15:38,510 --> 00:15:38,910
Father.
378
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,910
All I do is make merry.
379
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:43,120
Seems like
380
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:44,240
I inherited that from you.
381
00:15:44,270 --> 00:15:44,960
Get out of here.
382
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,550
Didn't I tell you
383
00:15:46,670 --> 00:15:48,200
I picked you up somewhere?
384
00:15:49,550 --> 00:15:50,480
Oh, really?
385
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,390
No wonder you're so mean to me.
386
00:15:53,150 --> 00:15:53,910
By the way, Si,
387
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:56,670
don't let your grandmother find out
388
00:15:56,750 --> 00:15:58,720
about your plan.
389
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:00,960
Like most people in Ling'an,
390
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:01,960
she looks down
391
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,150
on merchants,
392
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:05,670
let alone allowing
393
00:16:05,750 --> 00:16:07,670
the legitimate daughter of the count
to go into business.
394
00:16:07,910 --> 00:16:08,550
Do you understand?
395
00:16:10,390 --> 00:16:11,240
I understand, Father.
396
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:17,670
Father.
397
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:19,550
Rue
398
00:16:19,750 --> 00:16:20,910
really works.
399
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:23,120
These books have been stored
for a whole year,
400
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,270
and there isn't a single bug bite
401
00:16:24,270 --> 00:16:25,320
found on them.
402
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,120
They're intact.
403
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,240
My daughter is so clever.
404
00:16:32,270 --> 00:16:33,080
Oh, right, Father,
405
00:16:33,510 --> 00:16:35,480
I rarely hear you talk
406
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:36,750
about the Directorate of Astronomy
407
00:16:37,750 --> 00:16:38,630
or see you catching up
408
00:16:38,630 --> 00:16:40,080
with your former colleagues.
409
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:42,790
After your mother passed,
410
00:16:43,630 --> 00:16:45,000
I lost my passion for the job,
411
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,120
so I resigned.
412
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,080
I've always thought
413
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:51,670
there was something mysterious
414
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:52,910
about observing the stars at night.
415
00:16:53,910 --> 00:16:55,030
You can predict the weather
416
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:56,600
and foresee fortunes.
417
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,320
Studying the universe
418
00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,080
is indeed fascinating.
419
00:17:03,390 --> 00:17:04,790
But in the Directorate of Astronomy,
420
00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:07,440
it's not just about the universe.
421
00:17:08,750 --> 00:17:10,240
Instead, there are
422
00:17:10,750 --> 00:17:12,550
more flatterers
423
00:17:13,270 --> 00:17:15,310
and helpless situations.
424
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:16,200
Father.
425
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:19,030
Do you remember
426
00:17:19,109 --> 00:17:19,720
you used to force me
427
00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:21,270
to practice calligraphy?
428
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:22,200
Look,
429
00:17:22,829 --> 00:17:24,400
I found a copybook.
430
00:17:25,310 --> 00:17:26,640
I remember this copybook.
431
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:28,240
Back then,
432
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:29,829
every time I bought one,
433
00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:31,440
it would disappear.
434
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:32,960
It was very strange.
435
00:17:34,349 --> 00:17:35,680
I threw them all away.
436
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:36,960
I helped you throw out a few.
437
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,349
That explains why your handwriting
438
00:17:38,349 --> 00:17:39,880
looks like a chicken scratch.
439
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:41,350
Don't sell this.
440
00:17:41,350 --> 00:17:42,270
Take it back and keep practicing.
441
00:17:42,550 --> 00:17:43,030
No.
442
00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:43,960
I'll sell this one first.
443
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:45,270
Aji, quick!
444
00:17:45,270 --> 00:17:45,790
Sell this copybook first!
445
00:17:45,790 --> 00:17:46,830
Stop right there!
446
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:47,960
Don't sell that one.
447
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:48,920
If you do,
448
00:17:48,920 --> 00:17:50,960
you'll be grounded for a whole month!
449
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:51,720
Don't sell it.
450
00:17:51,750 --> 00:17:52,790
Stop right there!
451
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:00,590
My Lady,
452
00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:01,880
[Lushengxiang Store]
we still can't find anyone
453
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:03,550
willing to work for our store.
454
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:04,920
The women of Ling'an City
refused outright
455
00:18:05,030 --> 00:18:06,640
when they heard about doing business.
456
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,830
We're about to open the store,
457
00:18:09,070 --> 00:18:10,350
but we're still short on manpower.
458
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:11,590
What should we do?
459
00:18:13,030 --> 00:18:13,790
Miss Chuchu.
460
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:15,270
Chuchu.
461
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:16,550
I heard from Jiang Zhan
462
00:18:16,590 --> 00:18:17,240
that you were looking for help.
463
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,480
I brought someone for you.
464
00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:20,350
[Rou'er]
Nice to meet you, Miss Jiang.
465
00:18:20,830 --> 00:18:22,030
Congratulations
466
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:23,000
on opening your new shop.
467
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:24,110
Nice to meet you, too, Miss Rou'er.
468
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:25,480
Chuchu,
469
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:26,480
you are
470
00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:27,480
a godsend.
471
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:28,110
Rest assured.
472
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:29,440
Rou'er is reliable.
473
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:30,960
She's from my hometown.
474
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:31,680
She once
475
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:32,880
ran a rouge store.
476
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:34,270
Chief,
477
00:18:34,270 --> 00:18:36,110
you cracked the case
of Marquis of Changxing's Mansion
478
00:18:36,110 --> 00:18:37,240
and gained His Majesty's support.
479
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:38,030
Many officials
480
00:18:38,030 --> 00:18:39,160
are trying to cozy up to us.
481
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,110
Mr. Zhao
from the Secretariat Rear Section
482
00:18:41,110 --> 00:18:41,590
invites you...
483
00:18:41,590 --> 00:18:42,240
I'm too busy to go.
484
00:18:42,830 --> 00:18:43,200
Yes, Chief.
485
00:18:43,400 --> 00:18:44,030
Yu.
486
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:44,830
Jiang.
487
00:18:44,830 --> 00:18:45,480
What a coincidence.
488
00:18:46,310 --> 00:18:47,480
- Looks like you've struck it rich.
- Keep walking.
489
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:48,510
You bought so many things.
490
00:18:49,110 --> 00:18:50,510
Si is opening a fragrance store
491
00:18:50,510 --> 00:18:51,310
the day after tomorrow.
492
00:18:51,310 --> 00:18:52,270
So I bought her some gifts.
493
00:18:52,350 --> 00:18:53,400
She's opening a fragrance store?
494
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:55,270
I'm glad I ran into you.
495
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:56,310
I was just about
496
00:18:56,310 --> 00:18:57,510
to send you the invitation.
497
00:18:57,750 --> 00:18:59,590
You must come by then.
498
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,110
I'm sorry.
499
00:19:00,110 --> 00:19:01,640
Chief is busy on that day.
500
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,240
No, I'm not busy.
501
00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,550
I can make time for it.
502
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:05,510
Of course, I'll be there.
503
00:19:05,550 --> 00:19:06,350
Good to know.
504
00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:07,680
Lushengxiang.
[*Literally "Fragrant Dew"]
505
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,160
What a nice name.
506
00:19:19,750 --> 00:19:20,400
Long Dan.
507
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:23,350
Long Dan.
508
00:19:25,270 --> 00:19:25,880
What's wrong, Chief?
509
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:27,240
Where did you put it?
510
00:19:27,790 --> 00:19:28,550
What?
511
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:30,030
The thing I asked you to bring.
512
00:19:30,030 --> 00:19:30,880
Where did you put it?
513
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:31,590
You didn't ask me to bring anything.
514
00:19:31,590 --> 00:19:32,240
What is it?
515
00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:33,880
Where's my bronze mirror?
516
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:35,200
Where did you put it?
517
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,640
We don't have one.
518
00:19:38,310 --> 00:19:39,550
Borrow one from our neighbor.
519
00:19:39,550 --> 00:19:40,350
Now. Quickly.
520
00:19:40,350 --> 00:19:40,880
I...
521
00:20:06,790 --> 00:20:07,680
Chief.
522
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,750
Bronze mirror.
523
00:20:09,270 --> 00:20:09,960
Here's a bronze mirror.
524
00:20:12,350 --> 00:20:12,920
Slow down.
525
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:13,640
Here.
526
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:24,790
Chief, are you going to meet Miss Jiang
527
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:26,880
in this attire?
528
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:28,400
How do I look?
529
00:20:29,030 --> 00:20:30,240
You're...
530
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:34,880
You're incredibly dashing.
531
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,030
You'll definitely amaze
532
00:20:36,030 --> 00:20:37,110
Miss Jiang.
533
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,110
Haven't I always been so dashing?
534
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:42,590
Yes. Right.
535
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,790
Sound the gong at the auspicious hour
536
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,200
to mark the grand opening,
537
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:51,350
summoning luck and blessings.
538
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,480
Let the mirror reflect your heart,
and conduct business with devotion,
539
00:20:54,550 --> 00:20:57,550
integrity, and discipline.
540
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,070
The mellow fragrance
541
00:21:04,110 --> 00:21:05,550
spreads far and wide.
542
00:21:06,510 --> 00:21:07,680
Place the gourd
543
00:21:07,790 --> 00:21:08,880
to welcome fortune.
544
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:10,480
May this new business flourish.
545
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,030
Look at those gentlemen there.
546
00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:15,110
They're so handsome.
547
00:21:15,110 --> 00:21:17,310
Impressive, Yu.
548
00:21:17,590 --> 00:21:19,920
You look dashing today.
549
00:21:21,350 --> 00:21:23,750
Mr. Zhen, thank you for coming.
550
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:24,440
Thank you.
551
00:21:27,110 --> 00:21:28,750
Mr. Zhen, didn't you say
552
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,920
that civil servants mustn't slack off
553
00:21:31,030 --> 00:21:33,070
even on their off days?
554
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:34,720
I did.
555
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,510
But Miss Jiang
556
00:21:37,590 --> 00:21:38,550
personally came
557
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:39,790
to deliver an invitation yesterday.
558
00:21:40,510 --> 00:21:41,750
How could I say no
559
00:21:42,070 --> 00:21:43,000
to such a wonderful occasion?
560
00:21:43,270 --> 00:21:44,070
Thank you so much.
561
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:45,240
Really?
562
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:46,720
Why?
563
00:21:47,350 --> 00:21:48,720
Did you not receive an invitation
564
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,790
from Miss Jiang, Commandant Yu?
565
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:51,440
Of course, I did.
566
00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:52,750
That's why I'm here.
567
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:55,000
We happened to run into each other

00:34:58,110 --> 00:34:59,110
You mean Mr. Zhen's mother?
948
00:35:01,190 --> 00:35:02,320
Oh, so it's her.
949
00:35:02,630 --> 00:35:03,440
No wonder
950
00:35:03,630 --> 00:35:04,480
she seems
951
00:35:04,590 --> 00:35:06,030
to like Jiang Si a lot.
952
00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:07,230
She didn't even glance at the fragrances
953
00:35:07,230 --> 00:35:08,070
introduced by others,
954
00:35:08,230 --> 00:35:09,440
but when Jiang Si spoke,
955
00:35:09,710 --> 00:35:10,920
she was so focused.
956
00:35:11,630 --> 00:35:12,400
I feel like she
957
00:35:12,400 --> 00:35:13,590
didn't come here to buy fragrances,
958
00:35:14,070 --> 00:35:14,670
but rather
959
00:35:14,670 --> 00:35:15,800
to see Jiang Si.
960
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:18,110
Qi, do you think
961
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:19,400
she's looking for
962
00:35:19,630 --> 00:35:21,190
a daughter-in-law?
963
00:35:22,360 --> 00:35:23,190
Impossible.
964
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:24,440
Absolutely impossible.
965
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:26,440
Take care, Madam.
966
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:29,070
Please come again.
967
00:35:39,710 --> 00:35:40,630
Mr. Yu.
968
00:35:42,710 --> 00:35:43,670
You're here too, Miss Jiang.
969
00:35:44,110 --> 00:35:45,400
What are you doing here, Mr. Yu?
970
00:35:46,230 --> 00:35:47,510
Are you investigating a case?
971
00:35:48,030 --> 00:35:49,510
No, I was just passing by
972
00:35:50,510 --> 00:35:51,710
and brought some food for Chuchu.
973
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:53,000
But I...
974
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:53,960
Go on.

Wash it before you eat.
976
00:35:56,230 --> 00:35:57,320
I washed it already.
977
00:35:57,590 --> 00:35:58,320
Wash it properly.
978
00:35:58,880 --> 00:35:59,280
I...
979
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:02,400
She has no sense of hygiene.
980
00:36:03,230 --> 00:36:03,960
Mr. Yu,
981
00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:05,710
do fighters
982
00:36:06,070 --> 00:36:07,190
use Autumn Foliage too?
983
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,400
We fighters like autumn.
984
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:13,760
But now it's summer.
985
00:36:17,670 --> 00:36:19,000
Mr. Yu, please give me a moment.

[Invitation]
987
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:33,480
I wanted to visit

your mansion today.
989
00:36:35,190 --> 00:36:37,190
My grandmother's birthday banquet
is in two days.
990
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,630
On behalf
of the Count of Dongping's Mansion,
991
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:39,880
I'd like to invite you
992
00:36:40,030 --> 00:36:41,360
to my grandmother's birthday banquet.
993
00:36:41,590 --> 00:36:42,630
Thank you
994

for all your help before.
995
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:47,280
Sure. I'll be there.
996
00:37:04,400 --> 00:37:05,030
Hold on.
997
00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:10,510
Please sit, dear.
998
00:37:10,710 --> 00:37:11,400
Thank you, dear.
999
00:37:14,150 --> 00:37:15,280
What would you like to drink?
1000
00:37:15,670 --> 00:37:16,070
Sir,
1001
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:17,070
the weather is hot.
1002
00:37:17,070 --> 00:37:17,920
We'd like some herbal tea.
1003
00:37:18,190 --> 00:37:18,630
All right.
1004
00:37:18,670 --> 00:37:19,110
Wait.
1005
00:37:19,630 --> 00:37:20,960
The tea is too cooling for her body.
1006
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,030
It'd be better if you had floral tea.
1007
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:24,630
My wife prefers that.
1008
00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:25,710
Sure.

[Zhu Ziyu, Jiang Yi's husband]
1010
00:37:35,030 --> 00:37:36,030
You're sweating.
1011
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:37,550
You don't always have to indulge me.
1012
00:37:37,800 --> 00:37:38,230
It's fine.
1013
00:37:40,070 --> 00:37:41,360
The long journey
1014
00:37:41,590 --> 00:37:42,550
must have been tiring for you.
1015
00:37:43,030 --> 00:37:44,400
You rarely get to visit
your parents' house.
1016
00:37:44,510 --> 00:37:45,230
It wasn't tiring at all.
1017
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:49,710
As long as you're safe and happy,
1018
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,320

Please enjoy.

By the way,

tomorrow's your grandmother's birthday.
1024

Spend more time catching up with Yi
1025
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:18,590
when you see her.
1026
00:38:19,030 --> 00:38:19,710
Ask her
1027
00:38:19,840 --> 00:38:21,110
how she has been.
1028
00:38:21,550 --> 00:38:22,230
All right, Father.
1029
00:38:22,670 --> 00:38:23,630
I miss her too.
1030
00:38:24,710 --> 00:38:25,920
I owe Yi

00:38:26,110 --> 00:38:28,150
too much.
1032
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:30,800
When she was born,
1033
00:38:31,190 --> 00:38:32,230
I was young
1034
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:34,920
and only cared about your mother.
1035
00:38:35,550 --> 00:38:37,230
I didn't give her
1036
00:38:37,280 --> 00:38:38,280
enough attention.
1037
00:38:39,590 --> 00:38:41,510
She's always been
1038
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,150
considerate and capable
since she was a kid.
1039
00:38:43,710 --> 00:38:46,030
She never makes me worry.

about how you were doing.
