The Story of Ming Lan

Episode 64

- It's better that I just die! - Mother!

Let me die!

- Miss. - Don't stop me. Let me die!

My Big Madam has momentarily gone crazy.

Why don't you let me take her back home for a while, and we'll just return later.

- I'm not going. - Big Madam, let's go back first.

Nanny Qi, you can't go!

Nanny Qi, we both are serving different masters!

Mother!

Your Big Madam framed my Big Madam!

You're just going to leave like this?

You can't go! Stop right there!

- Stop right there! Stop! - Move aside!

Virtuous son-in-law, your wife's older sister has become confused.

I admit her mistakes. I agree that she must be punished.

But with her seeking death like this,

being so loud like this, we won't be able to discuss anything.

Why don't we just let her leave first?

For the other things, let the sane people like us talk about it.

Since mother-in-law has acknowledged it,

- then— - No!

Sixth Miss, if you want to say anything, you can also stay with us to discuss it.

You've repeatedly contradicted your elders.

You mustn't be disrespectful.

It's not that I'm being disrespectful. I'm just worried

that if we let Maternal Aunt leave like that,

then what if she escapes?

What do you mean by escaping?

You think our House of Wang is some market thief?

We all are illustrious families.

- We all care about our reputation. - Yes. Yes.

It's hard to say. She's able to do a lowly thing as poisoning. What else can she not do?

If she really escapes,

must our Sheng Family still post wanted posters all over the streets?

That is what you call embarrassing oneself up to the streets.

Virtuous son-in-law,

your daughter is really well-mannered.

So aggressive towards her elders.

At this age, she still has so many words waiting for me.

Since my wife's sister isn't feeling well,

there are still a lot of guest rooms in my house.

Let her rest in our manor for a while then.

My mother is still unconscious.

If we let the mastermind easily leave like that,

aren't I not worthy to be a son?!

Leave first.

I will discuss the rest.

I'm not going!

I'm not going anywhere!

You all want to see my dead!

Their Sheng Family wants to use my life in payment for their Old Madam's life!

Mother! You are so ruthless!

You are stepping on your own flesh and blood to curry others, to climb to a higher branch.

Sister-in-law, just go first. We'll negotiate this.

Those Sheng father and daughter, one saying the ruthless words, the other saying the soft words!

They won't let me off!

- Mother! Can you pity your own daughter?! - Mother!

Let go of me!

- Let go of me! - Mother!

Mother! Can't you

- pity your daughter?! - We will think of a way to save you!

Let go of me!

Mother! Mother!

Mother! Mother!

Virtuous son-in-law.

You mustn't...

I can't bear such bow!

When you came to our house that year, I immediately liked you upon seeing you.

A lot of people advised me

that your family is frail and not worthy to be entrusted upon.

But I feel that you have a precious character, is capable and experienced.

You are way better than my son.

Afterwards, you proposed marriage.

I was so happy and immediately agreed to it.

A lot of people said that my daughter has married to a lower status family.

But I feel that based on your personality and talent,

you're the one who lowered your standard to marry my muddled daughter.

It's all thanks to mother-in-law for promoting me

that I was able to have my current official achievements.

I will never forget your kindness to me.

Good child.

Right now, my heart is full of remorse.

I am ashamed to face you, or stand in front of you.

I really want to kneel to you!

Mother-in-law, you're saying it too seriously.

Quickly sit down.

No.

Do I still have the face to sit down?

Although your mother and I weren't together for a long time,

I'm very impressed with her character.

When I heard that she has suffered, I so want to suffer in place of her.

Your mother is a very benevolent person.

I'm sure that she also won't be willing for this matter

to induce our three families of turning hostile against each other from now on.

Relatives not acting as relatives. Blood kin becoming enemies.

All our three families are famous in the political arena.

If we walk forward hand in hand, we all surely will have a bright future.

If we separate and gets divided,

a lot of people who hates us will surely try to push the toppling wall further, my virtuous son-in-law...

Old Madam Wang, only after hearing you say these past events today

did I know how our Sheng Family owed you a debt of gratitude.

It was you who raised my father to adulthood,

inviting a famous teacher to guide him, teaching him so that he was able to pass the civil examination,

finding him a wife and eventually having children, propagating our ancestral line.

What nonsense are you saying?

It was clearly my legitimate mother who raised me.

That's right. Since it was grandmother who raised you,

you also should thank her.

How could I not know that I owe mother-in-law a lot for your kindness?

But in terms of familial law, there's no way that I will let the person who tried to harm my legitimate mother off.

Hope mother-in-law can understand and forgive me.

Virtuous son-in-law, good child,

those two muddled women indeed committed a grave mistake.

Just for the sake of me

and your deceased father-in-law's honor,

please be a bit merciful.

From then on, my whole family will be vegetarians and fast,

light temple lanterns and pray to Buddha, bow to the deities,

and chant sutras and pray for blessings for your mother.

Our whole Sheng family is grateful to my grandmother's deep kindness and great virtue.

Our whole family are being vegetarians, fasting, praying to Buddha

But you also saw

that before Maternal Aunt left earlier,

her mouth was full of hatred and sinister intentions.

Who knows what she'll ask when she goes to the temple?

It's already not bad if she won't be cursing our Sheng Family.

Indeed. How could a person who hasn't paid for her sins

be worthy to attend to the deities and clean up the altar of Buddha?

Tell us then, how should she be dealt with?

Say it.

If you owe money, you must pay it back. If you kill someone, you must pay with your life.

What? This...

You...

Sixth Miss.

You are now pregnant.

Even if it's just to accumulate good karma, you should be more forgiving to others.

Moreover, even if that little sister of mine

dies several hundred times, I fear that your grandmother won't still recover that easily.

Why can't you just be merciful and insist on harming everyone's dignity?

Father, what do you think?

If the case regarding my mother being poisoned gets out,

it will only be a scandal for the Sheng Family,

the Kang Family, and the Wang Family.

But the effect on each one will actually be different.

You finally realized it.

Our Sheng Family is the victim.

At most, it will just be my legitimate wife inviting a wolf into our house,

ending up with the reputation of committing a muddled oversight,

and have others mock at her for two years.

The Kang Family is the in-law of that sister of my wife.

They will suffer the brute of the trouble. But we all know

that Lord Kang and that sister-in-law of mine

isn't really that deeply affectionate with each other.

If it will require to break his tail just to survive,

just one divorce letter and he'll be able to expel that sister-in-law of mine out of his house,

the Kang Family will then be able to eliminate their connection to this matter.

Am I right, my nephew?

My father will never do that.

My mother is the legal wife. My father will never do such a thing!

Why then did he not come?

He...

Trying to kill an elderly relative is a grave crime!

The one who committed the biggest mistake here will be the House of Wang.

Mother-in-law, you better think about it clearly.

Nonsense! The two women involved in this case

are members of the Sheng and Kang families.

How is our House of Wang involved in this?

Lord Sheng,

just to clear yourself from this, you can really say anything.

But the two of them both have Wang surnames. They are both your flesh and blood.

Your two daughters are involved in this crime.

One implemented it in a confused state. The other is the mastermind who planned it.

If this gets out, what will happen to the political career of the Wang father and son?

Maybe, even your special privilege of having your a memorial tablet placed n the imperial ancestral hall would be removed.

Maternal Auntie-in-law,

those two daughters of yours, one still undergoing marriage talks, while the other one already married off,

what will happen in their future life? Have you thought about that?

You said it right.

This matter wasn't a mistake of our Sheng Clan. Why must we endure the humiliation and keep silent?

In my opinion, just execute that sinister woman

to uphold the family and state laws.

From then on, our three families will cover this whole thing up.

Afterwards, it will be favorable weather and world peace.

Mother, why not—

Shut up!

Lord Sheng, you thought about it so thoroughly.

What if I refuse?

I'm also very exhausted.

If mother-in-law can't understand it,

then let's just report it to the authority.

My daughter is just your family's sister-in-law.

At most, she'll just get exiled.

If our family would handsomely take care of it, she surely will get a lighter sentence.

Don't forget.

Your main wife was also part in harming her mother-in-law. What crime will she get sentenced with?

Once she is sentenced, her son and daughters...

Oh, right, they are also your son and daughters.

What will happen to these people? You clearly know about it.

Mother, just to save older sister,

you want me to die?

Son-in-law, you are a scholarly official, so you know the law very well.

What punishment will a daughter-in-law attempting to kill her mother-in-law be?

Can Changbai and Changfeng still be able to progress in their political career from then on?

What kind of life will Rulan and Hualan have in their in-laws?

Have you thought about all these?

- So, you really didn't love me. - Big Madam.

- Big Madam, let's go rest! - So, you really didn't love me!

Big Madam.

Big Madam.

Old Madam is just competing with Master on who is more ruthless.

How could she not really dote you?

Using me to compete?

She has harmed me to this point,

and she still is using me to compete?

If she can be saved, then both sides can benefit.

I've long felt that mother doesn't really love me.

So, it's all true. She really doesn't love me.

She doesn't really love me.

Virtuous son-in-law,

this is a muddled debt to begin with.

Your mother is a blessed person. She surely will survive this danger.

This matter is only known by the few people in this room.

Once your mother wakes up, there's no need to tell her too,

so she won't get saddened by it, for it might worsen her illness.

When we go back, I surely will heavily punish my daughter.

Tell your wife too stay filial to your mother-in-law.

From now on, we still are one harmonious family.

We still need to help each other out in the political arena.

Miss, you still are pregnant.

Don't tire yourself anymore for such a grave matter.

Go down and rest now.

You want to drive me away?

Let me tell you, no way!

I know that you're filial. You want to seek justice for your grandmother.

Big Madam didn't raise you,

so you don't have much affection for her.

But were your eldest sister and second brother bad to you?

I...

If not because of them, I've hacked that sinister woman to death already!

Will you still have the chance to talk here?

That's right, child.

I just knew that you care about your sisters and brother.

They are your flesh and blood.

Not only them, Changbai's child, Quan'er, you've also hugged him.

You've also carried the children of Rulan and Hualan.

Can you bear to let them

get dragged down by this troublesome matter and the rest of their lives destroyed?

Why are you here?

Why is your complexion so bad?

Brother Changbai!

Changbai is back!

Changbai, you're back...

With Changbai'er back to support Third Little Sister, I'm sure that it will be fine now.

Sixth Miss is tired.

Marquis Gu, quickly assist her out to rest.

Wait! This matter isn't finished yet.

The main young master of the house is back.

You are a daughter that has been married off and is even pregnant,

stop worrying about the matters of your maiden family anymore.

A daughter that is married off has nothing to do with her maiden family anymore.

Why is Old Madam here then?

This girl used to be so gentle, submissive, and respectful.

After marrying into the Marquis Manor,

she actually repeatedly contradicted her elders.

It must be because she's using her status as a marchioness, am I right?

That's so weird then.

My wife is the gentlest and virtuous woman I know.

She's like a little lamb.

What have you done

for a person with good temper like her to contradict you?

She's gentle and virtuous?

She's pregnant, yet she kept talking about executing people.

She's gentle and virtuous?

My wife is a coward.

She couldn't even bear to hear a chicken being killed, afraid of the thunder, gets dizzy in the sight of the blood, and hides when someone is injured.

For a person like that to be forced by all of you to want to beat up and kill a person now,

looks like in the present times, the person who's overbearing gets the final say.

Enough.

With the way you're acting, Marquis Gu

seems to be determined to continue this matter until the very end.

I'm an outsider.This matter is not up to me to maintain.

Everything should be decided upon by the Sheng Family.

That's right. Changbai is back. He naturally—

A daughter-in-law trying to kill her mother-in-law is among the ten unpardonable crimes.

Based on the law, the lightest punishment is execution by beheading, the gravest is execution by a thousand cuts.

What did you say?

That is your birth mother.

But the one who placed the poison to kill my grandmother wasn't my mother.

It is Maternal Aunt. I know the law very well.

Let me tell all of you that we all should be clear about this.

She's your blood relative!

In this world, it's hard to say who's really your relative.

For so many years,

grandmother gave it her all for this family that's not related to her by any blood.

A benevolent loving heart, so pure and sincere.

What about Maternal Aunt?

She's related to us by blood.

Yet despite knowing that if this matter gets exposed, it will lead to the most extreme punishment,

she still deceived my mother to poison my grandmother!

When the truth gets exposed, she'll drag my mother down as her scapegoat.

Maternal Grandmother, there's a heaven above us.

Do you really want the gods in heaven

to all know how ungrateful

the people in this world is?!

You...

You are destroying your loved ones just for great righteousness.

Your birth mother has committed a treacherous crime.

She can escape execution, but she won't be able to escape the sufferings.

Let's see how a son like you

can shut yourself out from the effects of her crimes.

Of course, I can't.

Bai'er, what are you doing?

In the way here,

I've already written a draft of my resignation letter.

Once the salt taxation matter is done, I'll submit it.

What did you say?

What nonsense are you saying?!

Bai'er, you mustn't!

You mustn't!

He's the most successful child in our family.

You... ! Your political career is currently at its peak!

You...

You can't resign. You can't resign, my child. My good child, you can't resign.

You've started studying since the age of four.

You studied diligently day and night.

You never delayed it even for a day.

Even if you developed prickly heat during the summer, or frost bites during the winter, you insisted on going to your class.

It was me who dragged you down.

Why am I so stupid?

Stupid to the point of falling into the trap of my own sister.

Mother.

My child.

Mother, no need for you to be sad.

I still have a lot of knowledge in me.

Even if I don't become an official, I can open up a school.

Shut up!

It's all my fault. I was wrong.

I'll go admit my crime. I'll accept my punishment.

Getting exiled, caning, or being imprisoned,

I'll accept them all.

Nonsense! How could you go to the local court?

You can't!

Mother, from now on,

you will only have one daughter.

Mother, just to save older sister,

you don't even care about my life,

older brother's political reputation, the dignity of the Wang Family,

and even the future of our children.

Since that's the case,

I also don't need to have a mother anymore.

I'm just planning another way out for us.

You are my flesh.

How could I really watch you stand in front of the local court?

Could it be you all really want me dead?

I'll then use my life in exchange for your grandmother then.

If one can be executed in behalf of others,

will there still be criminals getting punished in this world?!

You...

You disobedient and unfilial child... You won't even let me die.

Do you still want to slice me into pieces?!

Okay. Okay.

- Today, I'll just hit my head to death in this receiving hall. - Mother!

I'll let you all get your wish!

- Mother! - Mother!

Mother! You mustn't! Mother!

- Mother. - Mother, you mustn't.

What is going on in my house?!

Only now did I know

why that sister-in-law of mine is so without fear.

So, it's all because she has mother-in-law holding up the sky to defend her.

When she commits a small mistake, you take care of it.

When she commits a grave mistake, you still take care of it.

These past years, the lives lost in the hands of this sister-in-law of mine

aren't just two to three, am I right?

Brother-in-law, how many did you cover up?

You...

Mother-in-law, if not because you spoiled her since she was little,

how could there be so many lives dying in her hands?

Enough. Let our two families just defend ourselves in front of the local court then.

Mother, there are more than a hundred people in our clan.

You mustn't end the future of our whole family just for one person!

- Mother, wake up! - Mother!

Maternal Grandmother, save my mother.

Look.

When you're not the one being caned, you won't feel how painful it is.

As long as the one dying is not a member of one's family, you can be generous to others.

But once it involves your own,

all the generosity and benevolence are gone.

Isn't that funny?

These past days, you surely didn't obediently eat properly.

As long as my grandmother can recover,

I'll eat three meals a day.

[ Sheng Manor ]

Old Madam is awake! She's awake!

Old Madam is finally awake!

- She's awake! She's awake! - Old Madam is awake!

She's awake.

Let's quickly go.

Mother, you have worried me so much.

Mother.

Old Sister.

You all are here.

You're awake.

Old Sister, you're awake.

Look.

Everything will get better.

You don't know...

You don't know how happy I am.

Thank you for coming over to visit me. Thank you.

Big Madam, don't be sad. I'm awake.

Why is Bai'er here?

The salt taxation matter has ended, so I'm back.

Seeing that grandmother has woken up, I'm finally at ease.

Ming'er, don't cry. I'm old.

That day will eventually come. It's no big deal.

You're pregnant. You mustn't cry.

Grandson-in-law. Control her.

I'm unable to do that.

It's all thanks that you've finally gotten better. Once you're healthier,

please giver her some scolding in my behalf.

[ Sheng Manor ]

Old Madam is now able to take her medicine and food by herself.

She just needs to be nursed well and she surely will fully recover.

Everyone, no need to be too worried anymore.

Thank you. Thank you.

Okay already. You still have a lot of things to handle in your house. No need to walk me out.

Thank you doctor for your great help. I've remembered them all in my heart.

Go back home and rest well. If you need anything in the future, just tell my marquis manor.

I deeply thank doctor for your great help.

Marchioness, you've said it too seriously. Too seriously.

Doctor!

- Let's go. - This...

Doctor...

Lord, no need to worry.

Old Madam is old.

She's like an old child.

She's a bit of a glutton and wouldn't stop eating.

She ate too much of those snacks

and developed stomach upset. She just needs to nurse herself.

Doctor, you have a benevolent heart and technique. You are indeed a model to be learned from.

Big Madam, Old Madam took in a bowl of rice soup and feels much better now.

She said that she wants to see you.

Slow down.

I know everything.

Nanny Cui couldn't hide it from me, so she told me everything.

Good child.

You have suffered.

Your husband exhausted two horses to death just to rush back here.

Good. Good.

I'm at ease now.

In the future, even if I really die,

I won't leave any worries behind.

Grandmother, don't say such kind of words.

You... have a good rest.

Once you are more energetic, we'll talk again.

I fear that saying it by then will be too late.

Your husband has a man with a violent temper.

You bear grudges.

While pregnant, these people bullied you.

He surely will get that Kang woman's life.

She poisoned you. Of course, she must pay with her life.

Silly child. It's easy to have her life.

But have you thought about that we still are in-laws

with the House of Wang despite that?

Even if we

get rid of this layer of relationship and not become in-laws anymore,

don't forget,

the House of Wang still has a father that was given privilege to be worshiped in the royal ancestral hall?

Even though he's not around anymore,

he still has a lot of existing connections.

If you drive a dog into a blind alley, you surely will suffer too.

So what?

I'm just going to let her go like that? I don't want to.

Good child.

Before, Xiang Yu was invincible. (Xiang Yu is a famous anti-Qin commander during the end of the Qin Dynasty and the rival of Liu Bei (the first emperor of Han Dynasty))

Han Xin set up an ambush to surround him, (Han Xin is a great strategist of Liu Bei)

but he still must open up one side of the net

to leave a space for him to escape. He dared not to fully surround him to his death.

Do you know why?

He was afraid that if Xiang Yu is pushed with his back against water, he will risked his life to deal him a deadly blow.

Right.

You must let a losing army see hope,

so they won't get forced in a corner and be driven to desperate action.

Now, your husband is outside investigating the salt taxation.

You are inside your house pregnant.

In the palace, the empress dowager is eyeing covetously on the emperor.

The emperor has completely placed his hope on our Bai'er

and your husband to clearly investigate the salt taxation,

so he can win this round.

Now, the two of them returned to the capital without permission, while their official task isn't done yet.

If this gets investigated, that's already a crime for them.

But, I hate her.

She bullied you since you're alone.

She wanted to kill you by poisoning you.

I... so want to kill her with a thousand slices, then thousand slices.

Or else, I would have lived in vain!

I understand. I understand.

Your grandmother is already awake.

Why must you still hold tightly on your Maternal Aunt and won't let her go?

Either you cane her or imprison her in the palace prison.

Your maternal aunt is from a prestigious family.

All her life, she never even suffered any superficial wound.

How could she bear being caned?

The caning must be done. She also must be sent to the palace prison.

You...

Grandmother was fortunate to have preserved her life. That's already the heaven having eyes, Bodhisattva blessing her.

Second, it's because the royal physician meticulously treated her.

What does all of that got to do with Maternal Aunt?!

Maternal Aunt was hell bent to kill her.

If we just let her go like this, she still will create endless troubles in the future.

In disciplining one's children, you should be strict. In testing a person's character, you should be harsh.

Doesn't maternal grandmother know such a simple principle?

But your maternal grandmother didn't die.

You said it so wrongly.

A person has hundred of ways of living. Our Old Madam has a healthy body

and could have lived to 118 years old.

But now, she can only live to 108 years old.

She initially could listen to songs, watch lanterns, go up the mountain to pray to Buddha.

But now, she can only rely on drinking medicinal soup to live her days.

How are you to compensate for losses like that?

That's right. Our Quan'er can't play with my grandmother anymore.

What my wife said is right.

We also don't know how long my wife's maternal aunt can live.

We can't really count the days for her to die, right?

I feel that we should just do the required caning.

Treat it as a compensation to the suffering of our Old Madam.

Just let her complete the required jail time.

Treat that as a compensation to our Old Madam ending up in an impoverished state of being bed-ridden.

We didn't take any advantage of you.

You... You dare say such words?!

I still haven't said the harsher words.

Your family was quite nimble in punishing my mother.

What about your own Big Madam?!

Is it your turn to talk?!

My mother was disrespectful to grandmother.

She developed an unfilial and disobedient thought.

Of course, she must be punished.

From now on, she will pray to the deities and Buddha to ask for blessings for grandmother.

Yes.

I... In the back of my courtyard, I plan to

build a—

Not inside our house.

Yes. I... know that my mistake wasn't small.

I'll stay below the Yuqing Temple. I—

It's also not in the capital.

Mother, if you are to repent for your sins,

if you are to admit your mistakes, you should act like one.

You must return to our old house in Youyang

and cultivate inside our ancestral hall.

Be a vegetarian, pray to Buddha, and repent on your sins.

Other than holidays,

mother can't leave the ancestral hall by a step.

That... isn't that like being imprisoned too?

You have committed a mistake, yet you still don't know to repent and mend your ways.

You won't accept your punishment! With such a mother,

I'm ashamed to be an official then.

You... Who are you threatening?!

I'm not allowed to do it in our house, nor in the capital!

I'll just go in the city outskirts, in the province, in our farmsteads, all are fine.

I... Why must I return to our hometown in Youyang?

I don't know anyone there.

I know.

You are looking down on Eldest Paternal Aunt-in-law's maiden family as being merchants.

You once sneered and mocked at her.

If you are to return to Youyang, you will be under paternal aunt-in-law's care. Of course, you're unwilling.

But I feel that only by forcing you to leave us

and going to a place that is difficult to bear for you

would make you carefully reflect on...

in these many years,

with so many people,

with so many matters,

who really was right and wrong.

A place that's too comfortable can't quiet down one's heart.

How long will I be there?

Ten years.

You unfilial thing. You...

You...

I...

I shouldn't have given birth to you.

I should have just given birth to a rat.

You unfilial thing. You vile spawn.

A vile spawn.

Is cousin now satisfied?

Sixth Little Sister, you are pregnant.

- It's not right for you to watch the implementation of the punishment anymore. - Okay.

It's already the hai hour (9-11 pm). You should go back and rest.

Right. Everyone is tired. I've exhausted two horses to death today.

Wife, let's go.

How come you're the one out here speaking?

Where's your father?

Either you cane her or just lock her up.

You want to have both?!

I still haven't died.

Dongrong.

Here.

Bring her in.

Yes.

Implement the punishment!

You...

You must be traumatized.

You've always been steady. How come you're so ready to risk everything this time?

I probably was so scary.

I read the letter that your sister-in-law sent your brother.

Surrounding your maternal house, angrily scolding at your birth father,

forcefully capturing people. You were dashing bravely with no thought of your own safety.

How is that the Minglan I saw before who will always put her own safety above everything and will never commit any mistake?

This time, I fear that I've caused you a lot of trouble again.

Did I scare you?

In my heart, there's only one thought.

I must protect you.

T/N In the following song, "Don't You Know, Don't You Know?", Lines 5 to the end are the poem by Li Qingzhao, a famous female poet of the Song Dynasty, the poem is titled "Spring Ends".

♫ One morning, a flower opened and approached a willow tree, beautifully fragrant and mistaking him for her lord ♫

♫ Even if drinking in water in the morning, red clouds have half a day of sunshine, the wind and rain do not affect them completely ♫

♫ In the palace, you are constantly brave and growing thin, from on high, your cold tears of distress flow ♫

♫ Brocade letters delivered to me dismiss me, only suddenly to recall me,

not for many years can I see you other than stealthily♫

♫ Last night, gusty winds and rain during my deep slumber did not spoil the wine's lingering effect ♫

♫ When I asked someone, they rolled the blind up and told me that all the crab-apple trees are as before. ♫

♫ Don't you know, don't you know, there must be flourishing leaves and fallen flowers? ♫
