[Hello Dear Ancestors]

3

[Episode 16: The Truth? Zhen Xiang!]

4

I can't anymore.

5

I really can't take it anymore.

6

Keyi, you can do it. You must keep on going.

7

Have you forgotten the promise we've made to each other before starting?

8

This is a buffet that cost ¥200 for each person.

9

Cheng Feifei, what did I ask you out for?

10

I wanted you to come and listen to what's on my mind. I wanted to vent my frustrations.

11

How come ever since you got here, you just keep eating? Haven't you had enough?

12

Aiya! I've been listening to you all along.

13

You said if Zhen Jun doesn't go back to the sleeping chamber, he'll only live for eight more months.

14

To get him back to sleep with a peaceful mind, you went to the Chairman, who's also ancient, so he can help you act out a drama.

15

Then, the Chairman said he'd think about it. Isn't that how it is?

16

Yes!

17

Aren't you shocked? Isn't this situation weird enough for you?

18

I'm not shocked.

19

The world is so vast. Nothing is too strange.

20

Waiter! Come over here.

21

Bring me five black pepper roasted sausages.

22

Then, three marbled beef steaks, three glasses of fresh-squeezed mango juice,

23

and two hairy crabs that are not less than 5 pounds in size.

24

You're so right, there isn't a lack of strange things in this world.

25

You haven't told me yet how you're going to bribe me.

26

What do you need me to help you with?

27

Feifei, I particularly need you to tell Zhen Jun...

28

Tell him that I, Zhen Keyi, will be able to live in this world

29

very blissfully even if I'm far, far, far apart from him.

30

You have to make him believe it, okay?

31

With such a small thing, just leave it all to me.

32

Feifei.

33

I'm really depending on you.

34

Don't worry. Now let's eat.

35

Eat all you want.

36

By the way, if you break up with Zhen Jun,

37

that means he'll be single afterward. Right?

38

So that also means... I'll have a chance!

39

Keyi.

40

My Jun Jun, have you missed me?

41

Miss Darling.

42

Yes, I asked Fefei to come over.

43

Let's go, Fefei. We can chat in my room.

44

Wait a minute.

45

Keyi, I made dinner already. I'll just warm it up and you can eat.

46

We already ate dinner. Let's go.

47

But I haven't eaten yet.

48

I'm hungry. I'll eat with you. Let's go.

49

Keyi, eat a little something with us.

50

I have something to say to you.

51

Then, I'll chat with you guys for a bit.

52

Okay, it's ready.

53

Zhen Jun, I can't believe your skills are so good.

54

Keyi, try some.

55

The flavor is indeed really good. Before, you couldn't cook, right?

56

I practiced it many times. If you like it, that's great.

57

Don't say any more. Kiss me.

58

Keyi, if you're willing, I also want to teach you to cook some dishes.

59

That way, once I'm not around anymore, you can cook for yourself.

60

Okay.

61

Not around? Where are you going?

62

- Take us with you.

- Just eat.

63

Doesn't Keyi have a boyfriend now?

64

So, we might not be roommates anymore, very soon.

65

Oh, right. That boyfriend of yours, what's he like?

66

He... He's taller than you and very handsome.

67

He's a Taekwondo Master. Confronting one or even twenty or more people is no problem for him.

68

He's that great?

69

Eat your dinner.

70

That's great. So, what kind of work does he do?

71

He... He's a big boss.

72

He's a professional investor in the entertainment field.

73

Like BBC, CBC, CBS. All those sorts of companies, he invests in all those.

74

Wow...

75

Then, does he treat you well?

76

Yes. How could he not?

77

I think he loves me dearly.

78

Since we've been together, he doesn't even look at other girls.

79

Zhen Keyi! This time you've gone too far!

80

In what way?

81

Such a good package, why didn't you introduce him to me first?

82

Not bad. He sounds like a great guy.

83

Then, I am at ease.

84

Here, Keyi, I'll toast you.

85

Okay.

86

It's late. Go back and rest.

87

Do you want to come up for a drink?

88

Not anymore. It's very late.

89

Oh, right.

90

By chance, I overheard what you and Keyi were saying in the elevator today.

91

She asked you if you had a girlfriend?

92

Why did she ask you that question?

93

She wants my help with something.

94

What does she need help with?

95

Okay, I understand.

96

Then, sleep well. Good night.

97

Pianran, go to sleep early. Don't overwork yourself.

98

Okay.

99

Woman...

100

you don't have any female virtues!

101

You're just so fickle.

102

Right. That's right.

103

♫ You are like the light in the darkness ♫

104

Keyi, am I not good enough for you?

105

Look at you.

106

What's so great about you?

107

You're rude.

108

Not virtuous at all.

109

But why do I like you so much?

110

Okay. Both of you are drunk. Stop drinking.

111

I haven't had enough.

112

Zhen Jun, I told you to stop. Put that down. Go to bed.

113

Woman, do you want to die?!

114

♫ He is still that recalcitrant boy ♫

115

♫ who loves you ♫

116

♫ Blossoming passionately for you ♫

117

I hope you can let Zhen Jun return to the sleeping chamber with no worries or concerns.

118

♫ You are the color in my life ♫

119

♫ You melt that black and white in my heart ♫

120

Sorry, Keyi.

121

He'll only have eight months left if he doesn't hurry back to the sleeping chamber.

122

♫ Do you understand ♫

123

♫ My existence ♫

124

♫ exist only for you ♫

125

♫ Light years away ♫

126

♫ He is still that recalcitrant boy ♫

127

♫ who loves you ♫

128

♫ Blossoming passionately for you ♫

129

I've decided. I will take you as my wife.

130

I'm worried about you.

131

You just need to be a woman from now on.

132

Because I...

133

ran into someone who is more important.

134

I don't want to have to leave her

135

because I've discovered something.

136

Sorry.

137

Sorry, Zhen Jun.

138

Sorry.

139

It's already almost noon.

140

My god. What did I do last night?

141

Why did I kiss her?

142

It's all over.

143

A deviation from the plan. I must fix this.

144

Sorry.

145

Auntie?

146

Zhen Jun?

147

You know me?

148

That's great, Auntie. You're here, too.

149

Auntie? Who's your Auntie?

150

You are.

151

Don't you have the wrong person?

152

Zhen Jun. Pianran, you two know each other?

153

Yes.

154

Pianran?

155

Yes. This is my little sister, Meng Pianran.

156

Pianran, this is Keyi's Little Great Uncle, Zhen Jun.

157

I know Little Great Uncle,

158

but it seems like he has mistaken me for someone else.

159

Because you look so much like my aunt,

160

so I mistook you for her. My apologies.

161

No problem. What made you drop by our network today?

162

I'm here to find Zhen Keyi.

163

Come a little later then. I just bumped into her. She said she needed to go see the Chairman.

164

Chairman?

165

What? You know the Chairman?

166

I'm going to head up to find Keyi first. Excuse me.

167

Hey, where are you going?

168

To drop off the script.

169

[Infinite Network]

170

You're the most beautiful and adorable girl I've ever met.

171

My soul has already—

172

Chairman,

173

can you say it with more sincerity?

174

You wrote this?

175

Yes. I stayed up all night writing it.

176

Why did you throw it down? Let's continue rehearsing.

177

We don't need to go through so much trouble to get Zhen Jun to give up.

178

Do you know Zhen Jun has a scar on his chest?

179

Why do I have a scar here?

180

Let me see.

181

Is there a problem?

182

I remember I didn't have this scar before I fell off the cliff.

183

And all of my other scars were healed when I woke up.

184

Except for this one.

185

I know. What does that have to do with him giving up?

186

I've told you before that Zhen Jun was harmed while he was sleeping.

187

That scar is from the culprit.

188

And that person is none other than his eldest brother, Zhen Xiang.

189

Auntie is here.

190

Speak softly. Let Jun'er sleep.

191

- Auntie.

- Jun'er.

192

I'm finally back.

193

Mother...

194

Jun'er, death is inevitable;

195

life and death have a life.

(We can't control our life and death, we can only do our best)

196

It's all my fault.

197

If I didn't always anger her, maybe Mother...

198

maybe she wouldn't have...

199

It's just that I've never heard Sister-in-Law mention

200

she had any symptoms of heart palpitations.

201

How did it happen so suddenly?

202

Heart palpitations? It is usually due to the accumulation of a weak body, the wrong foods, stress,

203

and being overly emotional.

204

It's not a sudden illness. Was there nothing else?

205

This is Mister Yin Feiluo. He's proficient in traditional medicines.

206

During this year, Mother has been worrying over the household.

207

I heard Yanzhi mention that indeed...

208

her state of mind was not good, and she often felt anxious. It's my fault, I overlooked it.

209

It's all because I'm useless.

210

I'm the head of the house, but never knew Mother had such an illness.

211

Auntie, I don't want to be the head of the house anymore.

212

I'm begging you. Can we pass the position to Eldest Brother instead?

213

Don't be ridiculous!

214

It's your responsibility as the legitimate son to be the head of the Zhen clan.

215

What do you take your responsibility as?

216

A child's game?

217

If sir needs anything, just let the servants know.

218

Treat this as your home.

219

All right.

220

I will leave you alone then.

221

Brother Zhen.

222

Did you need something?

223

I smelled an incense fragrance on you earlier. Is it tuberose?

224

I don't have the habit of using incense.

225

Maybe, I got it from someone else.

226

You should bathe and change your clothes. Tuberose is a type of poisonous flower.

227

It's not good for your health if you smell too much of it.

228

You will start to feel a deep sadness, uneasy breathing, and a tightness in your chest.

229

If the flower has poison still, the incense made from it would be even worse.

230

I understand. I thank you for letting me know.

231

I'm suspecting that Mother did not die from heart palpitations.

232

What do you mean?

233

She may have been murdered.

234

Since I smelled tuberose on Zhen Xiang,

235

I did some investigating

236

and discovered that Zhen Jun's mother indeed died because of Zhen Xiang.

237

In order to protect himself, he lied to Zhen Jun and tried to put the blame on me.

238

Of course, they were unable to capture me.

239

After fleeing, the next time I saw Zhen Jun was when the Chao army surrounded the House of Zhen.

240

Although I didn't personally see the actual war situation,

241

Zhen Xiang probably started

242

to plan Zhen Jun's death during that time.

243

Jun!

244

Go!

245

- Eldest Brother, your leg is injured.

- Listen.

246

Follow this path and continue going southwest.

247

It will take you to Yecheng. This path is steep and dangerous.

248

- Cao's Tiger Leopard Cavalry will not be able to keep up.

- All right.

249

- I'll help you to walk.

- No.

250

You go first. You're the head of the house. You cannot be caught by Cao. You understand?

251

No, we'll leave together.

252

- My leg is injured. If we go together, neither of us will be able to escape.

- But...

253

Listen to me!

254

This isn't a life or death separation. I'll catch up with you quickly. Trust me.

255

Eldest Brother, didn't we agree to be together forever?

256

We still need to expand the Zhen clan together.

257

Let's go.

258

Jun, I'll always be right by your side.

259

- I won't leave you.

- Promise?

260

We agreed for a lifetime. Two hours is nothing. Go.

261

Go!

262

Eldest Brother.

263

Cao!

264

Zhen Xiang.

265

- Where's Zhen Jun?

- I'm guessing...

266

he must be at the assembly hall in Yecheng by now,

267

discussing how to take your head off your neck.

268

Kill him.

269

Go...

270

Such a good brother.

271

Zhen Jun, do you really want to be my enemy?

272

Cao, you've killed my closest people.

273

How can I surrender to you?

274

If I didn't get rid of Zhen Xiang, you probably wouldn't be able to remain as the head of the family.

275

Bullshit. Pay me back for my brother's life.

276

Why are you still standing there? Go find him!

277

Not only do I want him, I also want the Zhen clan's sword in his hand!

278

Zhen Jun, I will not allow you out of my grasp.

279

Who is it?

280

Auntie.

281

It's Master Xiang, Miss.

282

Xiang'er.

283

Why... Why are you injured like this?

284

It's nothing.

285

Where's Jun'er?

286

Wasn't Jun'er with you?

287

He hasn't returned yet?

288

No.

289

That can't be.

290

When we left Jicheng, we were blocked off by the Tiger Leopard Cavalry.

291

I went ahead alone to draw away the soldiers

292

and told him to take a faster shortcut

293

to meet up with you first.

294

He shouldn't be arriving after me.

295

Unless...

296

We don't have time. This is urgent.

297

Auntie, I'll lead you out of Yecheng first.

298

It's too late.

299

The Yuan Manor is already surrounded by the Cao army.

300

It's already too late.

301

Cao!

302

- Men!

- Here!

303

Bring me his head.

304

Hang it on top of our flag.

305

Yes!

306

Stop.

307

Sir Cao, please calm down.

308

It's my fault. You've suffered because of me.

309

Suffered?

310

It's considered a good plan if we can save the Zhen Clan

311

and find Jun'er's whereabouts.

312

Based on what Cao Pi said, Jun'er should have escaped to the forest, north of Jicheng.

313

I'll go and search with the Tiger Leopard Cavalry tomorrow. We'll be able to find him.

314

Fine. You should go rest now so that you can start early in the morning.

315

The earlier we find Jun'er, the earlier I can stop worrying.

316

Yes. I'll head back first then.

317

Zhen Fu.

318

Who is it?

319

Mister.

320

Why are you here? I thought you went back to your hometown already.

321

Are you okay? Are you hurt?

322

I'm perfectly fine and standing in front of you.

323

I don't appear hurt, right? It's just that...

324

Jun'er... on his way here

325

was blocked off by Cao army's Tiger Leopard Cavalry and was separated from Xiang'er.

326

We don't know if he's dead or alive.

327

Zhen Jun is injured!

328

Zhen Jin is injured? You've seen him?

329

Yes. I found him at the bottom of a cliff.

330

Where is he now?

331

I placed him in a secluded valley. Do you want to go see him with me?

332

Yes.

333

Why is Jun'er so badly injured?

334

Jun'er is still alive?

335

Then... why didn't you bring him back?

336

Jun'er is severely injured. He needs to rest quietly to recuperate.

337

The more he should be brought back to the manor

338

so that we can take better care of him.

339

Jun'er's situation is a little different.

340

It's better... not to bring him back home for now.

341

Then... when can he come back?

342

After he fully recovers. I don't know how long that will take though.

343

Auntie, is Mister Yin Feiluo looking after him right now?

344

Yes.

345

Aunt, Jun'er is the head of our Zhen Clan.

346

How can an outsider be looking after him?

347

Xiang'er, I know that you are worried about Jun'er.

348

But Jun'er's injuries

349

can only be cured by Mister Yin.

350

Besides, Mister Yin isn't considered an outsider.

351

Then...

352

may I go see him?

353

Maybe after my wedding.

354

Xiang'er, for the time being,

355

you will be the temporary head of the family.

356

There are a lot of things you need to manage.

357

Yes.

358

Don't worry. Jun'er will return very soon.

359

Say it!

360

Jun'er...

361

seems to not have died.

362

Didn't die?

363

Impossible.

364

You and I simultaneously saw him fall off a steep cliff.

365

You're sure he could still be alive?

366

Yes.

367

You sure are cruel and merciless.

368

In order to become the head of the family, you were even willing to kill your own brother.

369

A wise man submits to his circumstances.

370

I just had the honor of meeting

371

a brilliant master like you.

372

Brilliant master?

373

What I want is to become the master of this country.

374

Yes.

375

My clan will forever remain loyal to Your Majesty.

376

How does the Devil's Snare feel,

(Devil's Snare: a member of the deadly nightshade family; poisonous)

377

Mister Yin?

(Devil's Snare: a member of the deadly nightshade family; poisonous)
