(Perpetual Bloom)

Marrying off your daughter
is a good thing.

Why are you shedding tears?

People will tease you for this.

A daughter awaits a good husband
upon growing to adulthood,

not knowing the pain of separation.

Father, Fifth Uncle.

Dou Zhao?

Seventh Brother?

How can we clean up this mess?

Have you come up with a countermeasure?

Shishu, why are you asking me this?

I was kept in the dark too.

I don't know what to do as well.

Stop pretending.

Do you think a lass like Ming

could come up with
something like this by herself?

What if Duke of Jining

insists on blowing this issue up
and seeking the local authorities?

The Dou family will
be embarrassed, you know?

In my opinion,

why don't we make the Wei Family

acknowledge the marriage?

We should keep this matter under wraps.

This way, Ming won't suffer as much

when she marries into the family.

Ms. Longevity was supposed
to marry into their family.

Isn't it reasonable for us to deliver more
dowries to them on Ming's behalf?

How dare you still think about
touching Ms. Longevity's dowries?

Tell me.

Were you the one

behind Ms. Longevity's switcheroo?

I know you feel unfair
for Ms. Longevity.

But Ming is our daughter as well.

I gave birth to her
after ten months of pregnancy.

Of course, I have to
give her my support.

Do you expect me to stand idly by
as she takes her own life?

How dare you still reason with me

when you've done something
this shameful?

In the end,
it's all because you spoiled her.

How can you explain yourself
to Ms. Longevity?

Enough.

This is not the time
for a family argument.

Ms. Longevity has the demeanor
of the eldest daughter in the family.

Now, we should think about

how to protect the family's reputation.

Ms. Longevity, you should've told us
about their relationship earlier

since you've realized their
affection for each other before.

If so, it'll be easier
for us to re-plan the marriage.

She's not willing
to be married to him anyway.

Now, she has her wish granted.

Besides, Ming was always meek.

Why would she fall for Wei Tingyu
all of a sudden?

Who knows if she
was instigated by someone?

I'm already wounded.

You guys didn't even hire
a physician for me

in fear that people
might hear about this.

Now that you want
to sweep things under the rug,

you're actually pushing the blame on me?

Look at the mess we're in now.

I have no idea how to pacify

Duchess of Jing tomorrow
if she confronts us.

For now, the most urgent thing
is for you to draft a written agreement.

State that you were sick for a long time

and that it's hard
to bear children.

You're withdrawing
from the marriage voluntarily

due to fear of affecting
the lineage of the Wei Family.

In the future, if the Wei Family
comes to confront us,

we can use Ms. Longevity's dowries

to make up for Ming's bluntness.

After all, the Dou Family
was at fault first.

This way, Ming can marry
into their family officially.

Back then, you guys
forced me to get married

when I didn't want to.

You pressured me with talks
of parents' orders and family importance.

Now that this has happened,

you're forcing me
to be the victim again?

If today's matter cannot be
resolved through discussion,

I'll deliver the marriage certificate
to Shengtian tomorrow.

I'll let the people
in the Capital be my judge.

Have you lost your mind?

This is preposterous.

Do you have any regard
for the Dou Family?

Shut up!

That's enough!

Shiying.

You...

You only care about
the Dou Family's reputation.

My daughter is at fault
no matter what she does!

You two even joined hands

to force her to swallow
all her grievances in silence!

She's my daughter!

She's not your daughter!

Even if the Wei family
demands an account,

I, Dou Shiying,
will give them an account!

You don't need to worry!

And you,

you've done such a shameful deed.

You've ruined the family's reputation.

And now, you're still thinking
of Ms. Longevity's dowries?

You disgust me to no end!

As an elder of the Dou family,

you're acting as if
you care about the Dou family.

But you only wish
to give the Wei family an account.

Who will give Ms. Longevity
an account, then?

Fine.

I'll stay out of this!

I don't need your interference!

Ms. Longevity,

let's go.

=Blossom=
(Adapted from the novel "Blossom" by Zhi Zhi)

=Episode 17=

Does it still hurt?

Do you need me to hire
an imperial physician for you?

No need for that.

Your fifth uncle always
looks at the bigger picture.

Your mother had to swallow
a lot of grievances back then.

This time, I mustn't let you
suffer the same fate.

The incident may seem like
your stepmother's fault,

but in reality,

it's because your fifth uncle and I

kept being lenient
to her all these years.

That's why she's bold enough
to do something like that.

You don't need to sign the
marriage certificate if you don't want.

I'll join you if you want
to report her to the authorities.

You don't need
to care about anything else.

I'll cover your back.

I'll punish your stepmother

and make it up to you

without showing any favoritism.

It was an exhausting night.

You should rest early.

Father.

Have you truly sobered up?

That's right.

I've sobered up.

I won't get drunk again.

(Serenity)

Fourth Young Lady, are you really
going to report her to the authorities?

I just said that out of spite.

My head has been hurting the entire day.

It's time to let Wang Yingxue
experience it herself.

Dou Zhao.

I'll marry you.

Su Lan.

Go buy me a bowl of tofu pudding.

Yes, Fourth Young Lady.

How did you know
that the bride wasn't me?

I could tell at first glance

that it wasn't you.

Dou Zhao,

marry me.

Don't spend your days
suffering in a family like this.

I'll treat you well in the future.

No one will dare to bully you
again in the future.

Do you think we're playing house here?

Since Wei Tingyu married my sister,

does that mean I have to find myself

a husband who has a higher status,

ranking, and is superior to him

in all aspects?

I just wish to lead my own life.

There's no need
to pit myself against them.

What about your own will, then?

I don't wish to get married.

Moreover,

you and Fifth Uncle are sworn enemies.

You and him are different.

These are two different matters.

For your sake,

I might be able
to tolerate him a little more.

I'm not saying this out of impulse.

I'm more serious
than I've ever been before.

I don't like you.

That's why I cannot be married to you.

You're lying.

I'm not.

That's not what I saw

from your eyes.

This is a magnolia tree,
my late mother's favorite plant.

In the eighth year of the Chengping era,

my mother took
her own life in front of me.

My father had an affair
with Wang Yingxue.

My mother's expectations of love

(Perpetual Bloom)
shattered

like brittle snow.

The Dou Family even wanted
to frame my mother

(Perpetual Bloom)

by using the Seven Rules.

They forced her to submit.

No matter if it's love or marriage,

I'm terrified of both.

Your Lordship, I know you fancy me.

I'm very grateful to you.

It's just that...

No wonder

you rely on yourself for everything.

But I can tell

that this isn't all
of your true intentions.

Fine.

I'll tell you everything, then.

I once had a strange dream.

In my dream,

both of us were killed
by the same arrow.

If we continue

to let our fates interact,

I'm afraid...

That's the reason you always feared me,

right?

I once had strange dreams too.

But that was just a dream.

No. It's more than just a dream.

The mark behind my ear
is the best proof there is.

But there's no red mark behind your ear.

How could that be?

It's actually gone?

I knew you would cover it with rouge.

But now,

it's gone.

If one day,

with the power of towering mountains
and cascading valleys,

you can make
this towering mountain before you

collapse,

the river will be changed.

Dou Zhao.

This is?

This is the imperial decree.

Since ancient times,

countless women have
gone against their consciences

and suffered for the rest of their lives

because of their parents' orders.

Prince Song is sincere.

He's fighting for her happiness.

Relay my order.

For Fourth Young Lady Dou's marriage,

there's no need to conform
to conventional etiquette.

She can make her own decision.

If the ceremony isn't completed,

she may withdraw from her marriage
with Duke of Jining.

(Imperial Bestowment)

In the future, if anyone
forces you to get married again,

you may show them this.

You have the right to choose

and refuse anyone you like.

No matter if it's your father or uncle,

no one can force you to do anything now.

Although I believe

that the purple crape myrtle
could grow independently,

I believe that it would grow better

if it receives support

and love.

You don't need to give me an answer now.

Take your time to consider it.

If you agree to my proposal,

hang a red tassel

on the magnolia tree

in five days.

I'll be able to see it from afar.

If you refuse,

hang a white tassel on it.

In the future,

I shall not bother you again.

Farewell.

(Duke of Jining's Residence)

Last night was their wedding night.

It's normal for them
to wake up late the next day.

Tingzhen...

What's wrong?

Come out.

I have something to tell you.

You can tell me right here.

I...

Tell me.

What are you doing here?

How dare the Dou Family do such a thing?

(Aspire for Greatness)
My brother

drank quite a lot last night.

He has a headache.

Madam Wei, if you have something to say,

you may discuss it with me and Yingxue.

What's there to discuss when you guys have
deceived us with a switcheroo?

We're a family.

You don't need to do this.

Who said she was a part of my family?

Her name isn't even
on the marriage certificate!

If I send this to Shengtian,
this can be used as a proof of crime!

Mother.

Since we've already done the deed,

we should confess.

As the saying goes,

wrong palanquin, right man.

As long as the youngsters
are happy with it,

I guess it's acceptable

to break some old conventions

if it makes them happy.

Madam Wang,

your father is the Minister of War.

Now, Fifth Master Dou is backing you up.

Are you trying to rewrite the law here?

Deceiving the court with a substitution
in marriage is punishable by flogging.

Madam Wei, if you do intend
to report this to the authorities,

you should be at Shengtian
at this moment.

What are you doing
at the Dou's Residence now?

The wedding banquet
has already been completed.

If you file a lawsuit now,

it'll only result
in the embarrassment and humiliation

of both families.

Madam Wei, why don't you

just tell us about your intention?

This marriage doesn't count.

Return the betrothal gifts

we gave you threefold,

and I'll forget about this incident.

So, in the end,
all you care about is money.

But you want threefold? Isn't it...

No matter how greedy a person is,

they could never demand
a compensation of this sum.

Do you think the Dou Family

receives a windfall from time to time?

You can go ahead and do what you want.

Do you think Duke of Jining

did not consummate with my daughter?

You really have the nerve
to cause a scene here, huh?

If Shengtian cannot handle this,

I'll tell His Majesty

and Her Majesty to handle this case!

Tingzhen.

Heaven and Earth, be my witness!

This is all my fault alone!

It has nothing to do with Ming.

Strange.

Even a cowardly turtle has its moments
of stepping up, huh?

I was the one who persuaded Ming
to proceed with the switcheroo.

No matter if
it's compensation or punishment,

I, Wei Tingyu alone, will bear them.

I'll say the same thing

even if His Majesty is here.

(Marriage Certificate)
What a load of nonsense!

They were at fault from the start!

Why are you trying to bear the blame?

Excellent!

This is an action befitting
of the Duke of Jining.

I promised I would watch over you.

I'll keep my promise.

Ming and I truly love each other.

I don't need a single cent

from the Dou Family.

I only hope that the elders of both
families can renew the marriage contract

to give Ming and me a rightful status.

Dou, if you do love me,

can you carry me on your back

and walk a few rounds

after you bring me to your residence?

I will do it.

Since it has come to this,

it should be so.

You're being stubborn again, huh?

All these years of education

and rite-learning were for nothing!

If you get yourself a wife like this,

people will mock you forever!

I'll lead my own life.

They can mock me all they like.

I've already deemed her

as my wife.

Madam Wei, what do you think
about your marriage?

Stop your nonsense!

When I was her age,

I have always hoped that in this life,

there would be someone who would
protect me and love me.

But it's impossible to have that
in this lifetime.

But there's still hope

for the youngsters.

Madam Wei,

do you still remember the promise
we made at Duanyang?

Please leave.

Father,

I've let Zhao down.

I'll apologize to Zhao right now.

No.

I've let Fourth Lady down.

I'll beg her for forgiveness.

Fifth Young Lady and Wei Tingyu
are heading to our courtyard.

Young Lady, it's like Wei Tingyu
has changed entirely.

He's become responsible.

He said he came here
to apologize to you.

I couldn't care less.

Come here quickly.

- Look at the red mark behind my ear.
- Young Lady.

Has it truly disappeared?

You've been looking at it
for the entire afternoon.

You should have some water.

By the way, Miss,

Wang Yingxue has dragged
Madam Wei into the room.

They're being so mysterious.

Why are they being so secretive?

Everything in the world
is driven by the pursuit of gain.

At the moment, there seems
to be no better option

than sharing the profits
with Wei Tingzhen.

(Ledger)
This is all of my usury business

in the Capital.

The related government offices are all
waiting to curry favor with my father.

Adding one more point of interest

won't cut off the flow of wealth.

As long as you leave
your thumbprint here,

half of the dividends

will be delivered to your residence
by different money houses

every month on time.

Madam Wang,
you're straightforward indeed.

Regarding the marriage certificate,

let's pick an auspicious hour
together tomorrow.

I'll call the duke of our residence

and several lords from
the Imperial Clan Court

to be our witnesses.

That will surely put an end
to the idle gossip.

Don't worry.

She'll be my sister-in-law
in the future.

I'll treat her well.

Madam Wei, thank you for your effort.

Ming,

if you don't know what to say later,

I'll apologize to her first.

Your Lordship, Fifth Young Lady,
please return.

Miss doesn't want to see anyone.

Zhao,

I've let you down.

(Perpetual Bloom)
Fourth Young Lady,

Ming only came up with that terrible
method because she was desperate.

She has broken your heart.

If you want to blame someone,

you should blame me.

How is she brokenhearted?

His Lordship fancies Young Lady.

She doesn't have time for them.

Fourth Young Lady,
we've owed you too much.

In the future, just tell me

if you need any help

in the future.

I, Wei Tingyu, will surely do my best

to repay your huge favor.

(Even a cold and unfeeling person
like Wei Tingyu)

(is treating Dou Ming sincerely.)

(Maybe they're destined to be together.)

Here are 5,000 silver taels banknote.

Keep them.

Father.

I know.

I know that money alone

cannot atone for all the sins
that I've committed.

But I don't know
what else I can do for you

besides giving you money.

When you were born,
I promised your mother

that I would do my best
to treat you well

and make you happy.

When you were young,
you kept clinging to me.

You would always hang on my neck

whenever I was studying
or entertaining officials.

But,

ever since Guqiu's passing,

I felt like you were
no longer close to me.

Whenever I returned
to the manor to visit you...

Grandmother,

what is this?

Ms. Longevity and I made these
lotus root dumplings together.

But we weren't good at it.

They became sticky after cooking.

Come. Let me try.

What do you think?

The lotus root dumpling paste
tastes better than the dumplings.

Master,

- why do you never go inside?
- Guys, try it.

Take your seats.

Initially, I thought

they would have a hard time
after leaving me.

But seeing how happy they look

made me realize

that I was
the extra member of the house.

Father,

I don't need your money.

But I hope that you can
agree to this request of mine.

If anyone wants to discuss marriage
with me again,

reject all of them.

Ms. Longevity.

You still have a long way to go.

Don't punish yourself
because of the foolish mistake

I did in the past.

Entrusting your life to the wrong person
is the worst punishment.

Moreover, I have Grandmother,
I have you, and I have my friends.

I own a business too.

And, there are many

magical and mysterious things
in the world

that are worth learning from.

That's the life I want to lead.

It's not
that I don't want to get married.

I just don't want
to be married to the wrong person.

I promise you.

In the future, you can decide

your own marriage.

Thank you, Father.

There's one more thing.

It's related to Wang Yingxue.

What's wrong with her again?

(Willow Alley, To Miss Wang)

(To Yingxue, Under the Moonlit Night)

Dou.

In the future,

you should hand our domestic affairs
and accounts to Ms. Longevity.

Right after Ming's crisis was resolved,

you're in a hurry
to go for the kill, huh?

When Wei Tingyu was reciting
his touching vows,

weren't you reminded of

the promises you made to me?

I still have the poems and letters

you wrote to me.

Fine.

Let's get to business, then.

Usually,

who takes care of the unpaid taxes

owed by those nobles and officials?

And when you can't
account for the missing records,

who goes door to door,
begging tirelessly?

It was me, Wang Yingxue.

Why should I hand both of them to her?

Do you think

tomorrow's sun cannot rise without you?

Even if I lose you,

I can still live normally.

Madam's abilities

are way beyond than
handling the family's accounts.

If not, how could she persuade
Madam Wei to agree to the marriage?

Even Ms. Longevity could tell.

Who are you still trying to deceive?

Lending money at a high interest
is a serious crime.

The Dou Family will fall
because of your crime!

I didn't do it.

I didn't!

She's framing me!

Gao Sheng overheard

your conversation with
Wei Tingzhen in the room.

How dare you still deny it?

All these years,

you did maintain a perfect front
when it came to our accounts.

I thought you actually devoted
yourself to the family.

I never expected you to do this.

Let's go and see your father now.

Let's tell him to investigate
how his own daughter

is undermining him!

No!

Shiying, I know my fault now!

I truly know my fault now!

You mustn't tell my father about this!

No!

You mustn't tell anyone about this!

I've spent all the dirty money

on the Dou Family!

Fifth Brother knows about this!

Fifth Brother knows everything!

Dou, let's ask Fifth Brother about this!

Stay in the side courtyard
and reflect upon your mistakes!

From now on, Ms. Longevity shall
handle the household.

Not a single dirty coin must ever
flow into the Dou Family again.

(Dou's Residence)

- Open the door!
- Open the door!

- Open the door!
- Open the door!

- Open the door!
- Open the door for us!

Open the door!

Open the door!

- Open the door!
- Open the door!

(Orchid's Fragrance Highlights Serenity)

Open the door!

It's so early in the morning.

Where did all the quacking come from?

Guys, please calm down!

Stop fighting!

Calm down!

Everyone, calm down!

No!

I will absolutely not accept
the wild geese as gifts.

Guys, please return.

This is Lord Qing's
letter of recommendation.

I serve the crown prince, you know?

I, Guo Yan, am peers

with Seventh Master Dou
in Neo-Confucianism.

Fate has brought us together.

I've been a widower for many years.

Coincidentally, Fourth Young Lady Dou
is not that young as well.

Fourth Young Lady Dou is
at least 20 years younger than you.

Lord Guo, I don't think you studied
Neo-Confucianism.

In my opinion,

I think you studied
how to get yourself a young wife.

You!

I'm no match for you.

You're young and talented.

You've already
given birth to many children

without getting an official wife.

What do you mean by that?

So what?

What did you say?

To hell with you!

- So what?
- How dare you hit me?

I'll kill you!

It's you!

Master,

Lord Liang is paying us a visit.

Hurry and invite him.

Everyone, I have to handle
the Ministry of Revenue's affairs.

Lord Liang is looking for me.

I'm sure he has something important
to discuss.

Farewell.

Sorry about this.

- Lord Dou, take the proposal!
- Lord Dou, take the proposal!

It's all your fault!

Lord Liang.

Shiying.

It's about time for my fourth son

to get married.

You...

This is bad.

I'm afraid I'm having a headache again.

Farewell.

Farewell.

Here.

Bear with it.

It's fine.

It doesn't hurt.

I feel much better now.

Master, all those geese are
still in the courtyard.

How should we deal with them?

Throw them outside.

I panic when I think about

all those livestock.

It'll be humiliating
if you throw them away.

You should return them
back at night sneakily.

All right.

Since the substitution marriage
had happened,

they came to the Dou Family

to take advantage of the situation.

Why should we show them any respect?

They're crooks.

There's no need to be angry at them.

Initially, I've made you some goose soup

to help relieve heatiness.

But when I think about the fact

that the goose
has a sharp beak and wings,

I think I should order the kitchen

to make something else.

Don't.

Ms. Longevity, it'll definitely work
since you made it.

Did you scald your tongue?

I'm fine.

It's delicious.

This time, you don't need to worry.

I'll send every single one of them back

even if there are 100 geese
in the residence.

Drink it slowly.

Master,

Earl of Haichang is here to ask
for Fourth Young Lady's hand.

Earl of Haichang?

You mean the one who has
slept 3,000 prostitutes in the Capital?

He's killing me!

- Don't run! I'll kill you!
- He's beating me up!

- Master!
- I'll beat you to death!

- I'll beat you to death!
- Master!

Master, calm down!

Master, don't be angry!

- Please be appeased!
- Go away!

You scum!

How dare you ask for her hand?

Do you think my residence is a brothel?

Seventh Master Dou,
what has gotten into you?

Since no one wants
Fourth Young Lady,

I'm willing to marry her!

I'm doing you a favor.

You shameless scum!

I'll beat you to death!

- Help!
- Master!

- I'll beat you to death!
- What's with the ruckus?

- Stop right there!
- Master, please be appeased!

Seventh Master Dou is beating me!

Stop running!

- Master!
- He's beating me!

- Hurry!
- Master!

What has gotten into you?

Scaring him is fine.

Earl of Haichang comes from
a family of nobles, you know?

How could you hit him for real?

All those shameless scums
are trying to marry Ms. Longevity.

They deserved the beating.

You...

Father, you were implicated
because of me.

You think that you're free
after withdrawing from the marriage.

We arrange a marriage for you

so that we can at least protect you.

You'll know how terrifying it is

when outsiders plot against you.

Forget it.

You missed Grandmother, right?

You can return to the manor
and lay low for the moment.

Let the Dou's Residence
have some peace and quiet for now.

Understood.

Earl of Guangen? Earl of Changyu?

They're a bunch of scums.

They're even worse than Wei Tingyu.

Everyone in Zhending Market
knows who I am.

How dare they bully my sister?

I'll slaughter them
with my men tomorrow.

Your fifth uncle is also a lord now.

But he has to chase you away
to make peace with them.

It's good that he's chasing me away.

It's best that he doesn't call me
to return ever again.

Times have changed.

The Dou Family
is the new favorite in the court.

Now that I look at it,
your fifth uncle might be

the next Grand Secretary.

All those officials he wanted
to butter up in the past

have the same rank as him now.

Now, they're trying
to butter him up instead.

Fifth Uncle has power
while Father has money.

And, a substitution marriage
has occurred.

To outsiders,

I'm a huge bargain up for grabs.

Shiying has finally done
something heroic this time.

When you look at the smaller picture,

it's just a marriage.

But when you look at the bigger picture,

it's a case of the Dou Family choosing
between the crown prince and Lord Qing.

Now, everyone in the imperial court

will make their choice
based on our choice.

Maybe His Majesty

is also waiting to see our stand.

If so, we won't choose any of them.

It's good to take a step back.

It's better to act
after understanding the situation.

You guys are discussing the marriage
as if it's war.

If His Majesty is that free,
we can do another substitution marriage.

I'll go on Ms. Longevity's behalf.

Grandmother,

the raisins are sweet.

You should try them.

It's sweet, right?

- (Grandmother is healthy and happy.)
- Try this.

Try this.

(Everything is developing
in a good direction.)

Young Lady, Old Madam,

here's the tofu pudding.

Tofu pudding?

It tastes like Lin's tofu pudding.

And, it's still warm.

Lin's?

I thought they were
located in the Capital.

Where did they come from?

Lu Ming delivered them to us.

(Tea)

Why are we practicing
how to make tofu pudding every day?

Cut the crap.

Our lord said that one must travel
1,000 li with the tofu pudding intact

if they wish to achieve
mastery in equestrian.

Practicing our next move is key.

- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!

Your Lordship,

should we finish

the tofu puddings that are still intact?

What are you saying?

You guys can have the shattered ones.

Deliver the intact ones to the manor.

Amazing.

You're killing two birds with one stone.

Lu Ming delivered them to us?
Doesn't that mean

they're from His Lordship?

It's sweet, right?

Mine is salty.

Even so, it tastes sweet.

Eat up.

Even if it tastes salty,

it's sweet in the heart.

What flower is this?

Fourth Young Lady,
why do you cherish it this much?

I believe
that it can grow well independently.

But I also believe

that it can grow better

with love and support.

Ms. Longevity.

Are you tending
to the plants by yourself?

Grandmother.

Ms. Longevity.

If I were to stroll around

the courtyard alone,

I would also think about

the person who plays the tune at night.

Grandmother,

what are you saying?

I'm talking about

the person on your mind right now.

Let me ask you something.

What was on your mind when Song Mo

delivered the imperial decree to you?

Grandmother, how did you know
that Song Mo delivered that to me?

Do you think I'm ignorant just because

I'm living at the manor?

I have my own spies
in the Capital's Western Dou Family.

Who are they?

Don't shift the topic.

Tell me

what was on your mind.

At first, when I heard it from him,

I was shocked.

I found it absolutely unbelievable.

He and I were strangers,

yet he did so much for me.

I don't know how to repay him.

You see, he begged His Majesty
for an imperial decree

not for his own sake.

He did it for your sake.

He could've begged His Majesty
to grant him a marriage with you.

However, he only begged His Majesty

to grant you freedom
to decide your own marriage.

I can see that he's sincere toward you.

I can rest at ease

now that a person like him
is watching over you.

(Qianqing Palace)

An insignificant marriage

is actually stirring up a storm here.

I've already given her
an imperial decree.

Could it be that none of the men
in the Capital is good enough for her?

Your Majesty,

I've already promised my daughter

that I would never interfere
with her marriage.

Fine.

Return to your residence
and make your choice.

Don't return to the Ministry of Revenue
until you're done.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Take a look!

Take a look!

Fresh vegetables for sale!

Lord Dou,

are you okay?

(This is strange.)

(He's actually sending me
back to my residence?)

(My sworn enemy is helping me out now?)

(What exactly is he up to?)

(My goodness.)

(Before this, I reprimanded
the Dou Family for being devious.)

(But now, I'm the devious one.)

(How can I change my image?)

It seems like an explosion occurred
at a firecracker field on the outskirts.

- Song Mo!
- Fourth Young Lady!

Song Mo, I like you.

I fear that I might lose you.

You fear the seven reasons for divorce.

Therefore, I'll write
the seven promises for you.

I will respect all of your decisions
and ensure your safety.
