Original subtitles

I led the troops on battleground in the past,

helping my nation to expand its territory.

And now I'm retiring to my hometown.

I'm healthy and content now.

Healthy and content...or not...

Shut up...

We should be drunk with such great scenery here.

Look at the scenery.

The green hills are here forever,

and the crystal clear river will run forever.

That wild duck would go really well with the wine.

They are mandarin ducks, you can't eat those.

Mandarin ducks?

That's right, not dinner. Please...

Please.

Liu Jin deceived the Emperor,

and destroyed my home.

I escaped on my own, and

have been living a tough life far away from hometown.

Looking at the people suffer because of the rebels,

I'm motivated to fight them,

to devote myself for the country.

It's my fervent wish but I can't do anything about it.

It's getting late, let's return to the residence.

What's so interesting about his kung fu?

Although things aren't going his way,

but he's ambitious, and he has a good appearance.

He has potential.

Maybe. And how do I compare with him?

Your Highness. You're born rich and powerful,

what's to compare?

Thanks for your compliments.

I'd like to have a chat with him, what do you think?

Sure.

Excuse me...

We're passing by.

A while back I've been quite impressed by your skills.

Thank you, sir. I'm only a novice though.

I'd like to learn from you, old master.

Yes, Mr. Cheng has a good battlefield experience.

He's killed millions, you should learn from him.

Old Mr. Cheng, this is...

Meet His Majesty's royal nephew, Mr. Zhu.

I'm Zhu Huanran.

Two distinguished guests, welcome! Let's have some tea.

You're welcome! We'll just take a break here.

And your name is..., where's your hometown?

Why with all the sigh?

I'm Mu Juyi, I'm from the capital.

Mu Juyi from the capital, then your father...

My late father's Mu Jianye, he started out as a scholar

He was a minister in court, since...

Then do you know Cheng Pu, the Military Service Deputy?

Yes, he's a good friend of my late father.

I never lived in the capital,

that's why I haven't met him.

And this is Deputy Minister Cheng.

I'm Cheng Pu.

I happen to be a good buddy of your late father.

So you're Uncle Cheng.

I had no idea! Sorry for my manners.

Your family ruined and you ending up so far from home,

what a coincidence that we're meeting here!

And looking at your current situation...

Why don't you move over to my residence?

Study & learn martial arts, then you could move ahead.

What do you think?

Thank you for your generous offer.

A simple life though, but I can still manage so far.

I plan to head south,

and work for Commander Hong,

to do my part for the country.

Lofty aspirations, a bit silly maybe.

You don't own the country,

what's the point in worrying?

Your Highness, you...

Bravo...I think you have a very good plan.

I'm in no position to be in your way.

My birthday is on the 15th of this month,

please drop by my residence.

I'll sure be there for your birthday celebration.

Please sit, father and mother.

We wish you a very long life.

Alright...get up...

May you attain boundless longevity, Master and Madam.

Alright...you can be excused now.

Yes.

Xue-e

When Master Mu arrives,

stay here and have a look.

Xueyan, wait.

Xueyan, when Master Mu arrives,

stay here and have a look.

What's the matter with you, dear?

What did I tell you?

I want Xue-e to marry him, why are you...

Why am I...?

We have a tradition to respect seniority.

The younger sister can't get married first.

I've decided to marry Xue-e to him.

No! Xueyan!

Xue-e first!

Xueyan first!

Xue-e first!

Must...

Dad.

Dad, mother has a point.

We have a tradition to respect for seniority.

Let my elder sister get married first.

You heard that?

Why are you so stubborn at your old age?

You...

Me? I still want to marry Xueyan first.

Dad, marry elder sister off first.

Xue-e, Master Mu has both looks & talent, he's heroic.

Xueyan is no match for him.

But...

Don't worry, I'll take care of it.

Old Master, His Highness Zhu is here.

Send him in.

Yes.

Go inside.

Yes.

Congratulations!

I wish you boundless longevity.

Your Highness is too kind.

Your Highness.

Just a small gift, please kindly accept.

You are too generous, please sit down.

Sure.

So?

Please.

Master Mu is here.

Uncle Cheng.

My good nephew Mu, welcome.

Brother Mu, hello again.

Your Highness.

Uncle, happy birthday, let me bow.

I wish you boundless longevity.

Very well, have a seat.

Thank you.

Brother Mu, when are you heading south?

I plan to leave in a few days.

Why the rush?

The bandits are growing in the south,

it's time for me to help my country.

Brother Mu, a man with high aim.

You have a great future.

If you've decided to head south,

I wouldn't stop you, but...

What instructions do you have, Uncle?

My daughter Xue-e is well educated, kind and virtuous.

I plan to marry her to you.

What do you think?

Thank you for thinking so highly of me.

Father-in-law, please let me take a bow.

Very well, it's settled then.

2nd of April is an auspicious day,

I'd like to hold your wedding ceremony then.

Then...

Don't worry.

I'll take care of the rest.

Thank you, father-in-law.

Move to the study in the back for now.

What's wrong, Your Highness?

Nothing, just a slight headache.

I'm off now.

Goodbye.

Since you're not feeling well, I won't keep you.

Back to the residence.

Yes, Your Highness.

Welcome...

Got you!

I'm going mad!

Your father and I had a fight because of your marriage,

why are you so useless?

Mum, I've nothing to do.

What's wrong with me playing with the maid?

All you know is play.

Your dad has decided to marry your sister to Master Mu

Really?

Silly child. Would I lie to you?

He's even picked a day.

What? They've picked a day already?

That's right. Next month, 2nd of April.

What are you going to do?

Stop crying, silly child.

I love you the most. Especially since that Master Mu

is rich and a man of striking appearance.

I'd do anything to marry you off to him.

Really? You won't let Xue-e marry him?

Of course not!

Then I'll stop crying.

The candle is burning for good news, I am so happy.

You do the embroidery, I'll add the fragrance;

Let the room smell of joy.

I'm busy with the needlework,

it's a pair of mandarin ducks.

A pair of mandarin ducks signify marital bliss.

After the pair of mandarin ducks,

I'll embroider some lotus flowers.

From now on you have nothing to fear.

I'll be married to Master Mu.

Master Mu is in the study, busy studying.

Some day he'll get his revenge

and keep our country safe.

I've been wandering away from home

after my family got killed.

Uncle Cheng is very kind

to have taken me in as son-in-law.

I haven't had my revenge yet,

I'm overwhelmed and extremely flattered.

Looking at the sword,

I should keep striving.

When I've achieved my goals,

then I can take care of the beauty.

Who is it?

My dear, open up.

Who's this?

I'm Xue-e.

Oh, it's Miss Cheng.

What are you doing here

in the middle of the night?

I was reading and came across a word I don't follow.

I'm here to ask for advice.

Miss Cheng, you're too modest.

But it's late now,

let's talk about that tomorrow.

You're such a bookworm.

Although it's late,

what's to worry if

we behave properly?

But...

If you don't tell me now,

how can I wait till daybreak?

Then...

Come on.

Please, Miss.

My dear.

She...looks more like a ghost.

Goldfish eyes, large mouth, big feet.

No wonder father-in-law so insists for the match.

Just got to look at him all confused.

Who says beauty isn't power?

Could he have confused me

with the moon goddess descending to the world?

I should just tell him,

but I'm too shy to talk.

My dear.

Miss Cheng, you...

You said there's a word you don't understand.

What is it?

That's...

Take a look, dear.

Miss.

The different sexes should keep a distance,

hold it yourself.

Love

Miss Cheng is quite well-read,

I don't believe that you wouldn't know this word !

But I don't understand...

I don't know...

I don't know why...

Why the Cowherd loves the Girl Weaver?

Why Yingtai loves Liang Shanbo (Butterfly lovers)?

And why Wenjun loves Xiangru, that they eloped?

And why Zhang Junrui loves Yingying that

he'd jump over the wall?

Miss, if you don't leave now,

I'll have to jump over the wall too.

Since you're implying that you're Zhang Junrui,

then I'll be Cui Yingying.

We don't need Hongniang as our messenger.

My dear, let's take this study as the West Chamber.

Let's not waste this good night.

Miss, you shouldn't have said such things.

I'm not an improper person.

We're engaged already,

we should wait till our wedding day.

It's late, Miss.

Then...

Please return to your room and rest.

Gossip is a fearful thing.

I came with enthusiasm and leave with disappointment.

Give it to me.

The paper.

Miss, why didn't you take it?

Place it on the table, I'll pick it up myself.

Yes.

I gave it to you, and you gave it to me.

I'm happy now.

Miss, please return to your room soon.

Very well, I'll heed your advice, but...

What?

If you don't explain this word to me,

I'm staying.

Miss, how could you...

Alright, I'll explain.

Love...

You mentioned about the Cowherd and the Girl Weaver...

do you know which stars

they are?

That...I'm not sure.

Come on...I'll show you.

That's the one...Cowherd Star.

What about Girl Weaver Star?

Right across from the Cowherd Star.

Miss...

If they love each other,

why are they separated by such a distance?

My dear, you...my dear.

Dad.

You're way out of line!

Tell me, in the middle of the night...

What's wrong with you?

Why are you shouting at my child so early?

Who has offended you?

Mum.

Read this...

Mum.

Master Mu has left.

He's getting ready for the wedding,

what has Xueyan got to do with it?

Why the bad temper?

You still defending her?

Do you know what she's done?

Don't cry...

What did she do? She stole? She robbed?

Why don't you lecture your precious daughter?

I bow to you, mother.

Come on, let's go.

It's ridiculous.

Hey, Brother Mu

Your Highness.

Brother Mu, why are you in a hurry?

Where are you heading?

I plan to work for Commander Hong in the south.

That's wrong of you.

Mr Cheng has decided to marry his daughter to you,

he's even picked a day.

Why are you heading south?

I don't want to get married before I attain any ranks.

How could that be?

Your Highness.

What?

I want to talk to you.

Spill it.

Why are you pulling me aside?

Your Highness, Master Mu is heading south...

isn't this your chance?

My chance?

Do you like Miss Cheng?

What's the use even if I do,

she's engaged to Master Mu.

When Master Mu has left, you could marry her

on 2nd of April under his name.

Won't that work?

That's true.

Your Highness, goodbye.

Brother Mu.

I think you should wait until after the wedding.

I've made up my mind,

thank you for Your Highness' concern.

Do you have transportation?

I plan on walking.

How could this be?

If you don't mind, you can take my horse.

That should help.

Your Highness is too generous,

I really don't deserve such a gift.

We've become good friends in such short time.

It's just a horse.

Lead the horse over.

Yes.

Thank you, Your Highness. Till next time.

Please.

It's midnight, the lady's chamber is all quiet.

Can't paint anything colourful,

the mandarin ducks embroidery isn't yet finished.

It's late, the moon is dark, the stars are dim.

Even the night breeze lacks strength,

the insects' noise sounds like crying.

He left a note, without saying goodbye;

Leaving me pondering upon!

Does he think I'm not pretty enough?

Or is he engaged to someone else already?

He should have behaved with better manners. I guess

he wouldn't run away from the engagement without reason

Eunuch Zhou.

Please.

Kneel and listen.

Long live His Majesty.

His Majesty's order is as follows:

The bandits in the south are getting out of control,

Commander Hong has requested Cheng Pu,

former Deputy Minister of Military Service for help.

Head straight south, needn't report at the capital.

The end, thank His Majesty.

Long live His Majesty.

Accept the Royal Decree.

Please have a seat.

Thank you.

It's urgent in the south.

Please pack as soon as possible,

and begin your journey.

Now?

There're plenty of officials.

Why an old man like me?

It's Commander Hong's recommendation, don't hesitate.

But my daughter's getting married on 2nd of April,

could I go after the wedding?

You're wrong indeed.

Could your daughter's wedding be more important

than national matters?

You have a point.

And who's your daughter getting married to?

Mu Juyi, the son of my late friend Mu Jianye.

Oh, the son of Minister Mu, that's a good match.

Madam's here.

My dear, meet Eunuch Zhou.

How do you do, Eunuch Zhou?

I have orders to help with the military in the south.

I need to go right away.

About Xue-e's wedding,

I need you to take care of it.

Don't worry, my dear.

Please help me to pack, I've to leave soon.

Yes.

Trying on my wedding gown tonight.

I'm all excited thinking about him.

I love him; so dashing and heroic.

He's so gifted and has such aspirations.

My brows are so nicely shaped.

A jade hairpin in my hair.

How pretty I'm here!

Prettier than all the famous beauties!

Now that I think about it,

it's all because of my mum's good plan.

From now on a wit and a beauty shall stay together.

A match made in heaven will last forever.

I'm getting restless.

I'm so eager to hear the cock crow.

My feet are getting sore standing the whole day.

Then I couldn't wait till it's turned night.

I'm earth and he's heaven.

We're going to have a wedding.

In the Bridal Chamber,

Oh dear

what comes natural is natural.

Oh my goodness!

It's so late, lady! You're getting married tomorrow.

You should sleep soon.

Xialian, look at me.

Am I pretty?

Yes or no?

Yes.

Really?

Yes, the dress is pretty.

The newlyweds in the sedan chair.

Don't be sad...my lady.

The groom isn't Master Mu.

Not Master Mu?

No!

Who could that be then?

Harmony between husband and wife.

The secret is revealed on the wedding night.

To the honeymoon suite.

Congratulations! Your Highness.

Congratulations! Your Highness.

Congratulations! Your Highness.

Congratulations! Your Highness.

Very well...go get your reward.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Getting married on an auspicious day.

I'm so thrilled as I approach the bed.

My hands are shaking as I'm about to lift her veil.

I'm shy, please blow out the candle.

If I do that,

I can't see your pretty face in the dark.

Have mercy!

A ghost! A big mouth with yellow teeth.

Sits like a squash and stands like a tower.

Walks like the water container in the kitchen.

What's he mumbling about?

Let me take a look at him.

Oh, he looks like beancurd paste!

Am I in the wrong place?

Miss Cheng is very pretty.

Who the hell are you?

Master Mu is good looking,

and who the hell are you?

He's dashing and handsome.

But you're ugly as a toad.

I'm a phoenix, I can't be matched with a crow.

A bloom on cow dung!

You can't read a book by its cover.

My name is Zhu Huanran, a royal.

You're no beauty.

I look better than the average man.

I don't want you as my bride,

I'll return you to your mum.

That's easy for you to say.

I'm a young maid,

a daughter from a well-off family.

My father is a minister of the military service.

You can't just return me now.

I'm not a fruit.

Miss, I think you better...

What?

Now that we've come to this point,

there's no turning back.

Let's stop complaining.

Let's just go through with this.

The night is young.

Why put up with such an act?

I'm duped!

I've married a crow instead of a phoenix.

I don't blame my dad or my mum.

Alas, only if I was pious enough for the matchmaking God !

Although she isn't pretty,

her big ears and face represent fortune.

She might be able to bring luck to her husband.

Her feet aren't too large really.

It won't make a difference when the light is out.

Leaves are falling, time has past.

The autumn wind has startled the geese from south.

I can't see my beloved when he's so far.

I wish he could take care of the bandits.

I wish he'll be singing songs of triumph.

Leaping on the horse and celebrate.

The old master has a letter, lady.

He said the bandits have been taken care of.

Really?

That's great.

But I heard that the robbers are heading north,

I'm afraid they will come here soon.

Kill!

Now that the bandits are going north

They'll be here soon.

If you don't come with me to Gaojing,

what if something happens?

I should follow my mother to take shelter at Gaojing.

It's a shame for a woman to walk around in panic.

It's inconvenient for me to meet brother-in-law.

Especially when he's so improper.

What has he done?

He's assumed Master Mu's identity at the wedding.

He's flirted with me in the garden

when they came to visit.

It's not safe to see him again.

But after all, His Highness is a royal

it's better than being harmed by the culprits.

A woman's virtue is most important.

What's the point of living if living shamelessly?

What? What did you say?

Mother.

I suggest you take shelter at your brother-in-law's.

How could you say such things?

Are you saying that I am shameless?

I wouldn't dare, what I meant was...

Shut up! If you don't want to go there,

that's fine, but...

if anything happens to you when the robbers are here,

don't blame me.

Mother.

Hurry up...

Come on...

Hurry.

Stop screaming.

Get up! It's burning inside.

It's on fire!

Fire!

Put out the fire! Someone!

Forget it!

They've robbed everything I've got!

If only they would have taken you too !

Fortunately they managed to avoid being caught,

and are running towards the south.

It's a long and arduous journey.

It doesn't matter how tired they get.

Enduring the journey's hardships to make it shorter.

They've travelled a far distance to the southern city.

They've travelled a far distance to the southern city.

Can I help you?

I'm here to find Official Cheng.

Regarding?

He's my father.

Please.

The bandits are gone north, we can withdraw our troops.

Let's wait for the royal decree and then we'll decide.

Yes.

My dear nephew Mu, stay.

Since you have become a general,

you are very accomplished.

About my daughter's wedding...

That...we'll discuss that later.

Sir, the young master is here.

Young master?

Commander, your son is here.

Don't look at me.

You don't have a son, and I couldn't have one.

Did you get it right?

What's his surname? Who is he looking for?

He said he's Official Cheng's son.

My son? Since when do I have a son?

Official Cheng, you're devoted to work

You don't remember your own son?

I know that Official Cheng has no son.

Old master.

Old master, I think it might be the young lady.

What? A young lady, not a young master.

Ridiculous.

It must be the young lady.

Doesn't she dress up as a man sometimes?

That's true...let's go take a look.

Yes.

Master Cheng's daughter likes to dress up as a man?

Old master.

Old master, it's the young lady! Miss Cheng.

Xue-e.

Dad.

Old master.

Dad.

Get up...

Xue-e, how you've suffered.

Where is your mother and sister?

My elder sister has married His Highness Zhu.

Mother is staying with them right now.

Really?

Alright...

You should be glad that you two are reunited.

Greet Commander Hong, and Eunuch Zhou.

Commander Hong, Eunuch Zhou.

Get up.

You've travelled quite a distance here.

It's really lucky that you're alright.

You must be tired from all the walking,

please go inside and rest.

Yes, go on.

Dad.

Still behaving like this at this age.

Cheng Zhong, show the young lady to her room.

Hurry.

Miss, after you.

Where's Mu?

Commander Hong is here.

Commander, Eunuch Zhou.

Have a seat.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

May I ask why?

Official Cheng's daughter Xue-e has arrived.

Now that nothing is going on at the camp,

I'll be in charge of your wedding ceremony.

Isn't that something to congratulate about?

Commander Hong.

But I haven't achieved my goal and my revenge.

I'm not going to marry.

Now that Liu Jin has been sentenced,

isn't that over for your revenge?

And you've already been promoted to General.

You're hardly under-achieved.

Then...

Stop making up excuses.

You told us before, we remember.

Now that you've done what you wanted to do,

if you keep stalling,

it won't look good for the Commander.

I want to be their matchmaker

Tomorrow is an auspicious day,

You'll be in charge for their wedding ceremony.

Great! Tomorrow it is then.

That...

The wedding candles are beaming with joy,

Xue-e is sitting on the bed alone.

She's very happy now that she could see her lover.

Waiting for her husband in joy.

But there's no sign of the groom.

The young lady is perplexed; maid Meixiang is worried.

Master Mu...

It's late, please go to the Bridal Chamber.

Drink up...

Cheers...

What happened?

Really? Let's go take a look.

Excuse us, please enjoy the wine.

Please.

Dear nephew Mu.

Commander, Eunuch Zhou.

Why aren't you drinking in the hall?

What are you doing here in my study?

We'd like to talk to you about something.

Come in.

Today is your wedding,

I can't believe you can read at this time.

He's trying to cultivate his heart and mind.

Commander, Eunuch Zhou.

What instructions do you have for me?

Dear nephew Mu.

Here.

What's the matter with you?

It's your wedding day.

You wouldn't even offer us a seat as your matchmaker?

Has someone offended you?

Did we make a wrong match?

That's not what I meant.

Then what do you mean?

I mean...

Forget it...you know what they say,

the matchmaker is soon forgotten after the marriage.

But they've forgotten us already,

before even they have gone into the Bridal Chamber.

That's right.

Thank you for your kind intentions,

I really appreciate it.

But...now that the ceremony is over.

Except you haven't gone in the Bridal Chamber yet.

You don't need to worry about that.

Something doesn't sound right.

A groom refusing to enter Bridal Chamber is unheard of.

I guess there must be more to it.

There must be more to it.

Ask him.

Sure.

What would you like to ask?

Tell me, today is an auspicious day,

you've just got married with Miss Cheng.

Why haven't you gone into the Bridal Chamber?

That...

This has nothing to do with the troops,

you shouldn't worry, Commander.

Then...

Commander, that didn't go well.

But since I'm your matchmaker,

I must find out what's going on.

Right.

Must you know, Commander?

Certainly.

Then please ask Uncle Cheng instead,

he'd know.

Official Cheng would know?

Yes.

That's strange. Why hasn't he said anything?

Come on! Let's go ask him.

Let's go.

How did it go?

We asked him,

and he said Master Cheng would know.

He sent us here to ask you.

It's your fault.

If you know, why didn't you say something?

But I don't.

He doesn't know.

I guess,

I still need your help to ask him

what is his reason? Let him explain it.

Right...let's go.

Please.

Dear nephew Mu.

Commander.

Official Cheng said he doesn't know.

Please tell us.

Right...clear this up.

We aren't worms in your stomach,

how would we know what you're thinking?

Enlighten us.

It's about his daughter,

I'm in no position to talk.

But since you two insist,

I just have to tell you at this point.

I was reading in Uncle Cheng's study one night,

and Miss Cheng turned up.

She was flirtatious, and wouldn't leave.

Eventually I had to dupe her into leaving.

I made up an excuse in a note, and left

for the sake of Uncle Cheng.

Commander, think about it.

How could I marry a woman like that?

I understand.

No wonder he wouldn't go into the Bridal Chamber.

Is Official Cheng aware of this?

That...I'm not sure of.

We'll ask him.

Yes.

I overheard everything.

Please go and ask him,

to describe the person

who was in the study that night.

Did he take a good look?

Forget it.

I insist. You must ask.

Official Cheng has a point, let's ask.

Sure...let's go.

So?

You ask him.

Very well.

Did you take a good look

at the woman who turned up that night?

Of course.

Can you still remember what she looked like?

She looks like a ghost.

I'd never forget! She appeared so scary.

I must tell you that you're wrong.

She's the flirtatious one, what did I do wrong?

I am not referring to that,

I'm talking about this.

About this?

That's right.

How did you describe Miss Cheng?

I said she looks like a ghost.

I'm still a bit scared, even now.

Go take a look, you wouldn't be.

Go on.

I'd rather not.

You must.

I insist.

I would have trouble sleeping with that image.

If you take a look, I guess you wouldn't want to sleep.

Go take a look.

Go on.

Come...

You two sure are quite meddlesome.

We like to meddle?

Go...

The candlelight shines on the beauty,

it's all clear now.

I got it all wrong,

and I almost ruined a good marriage.

Shines on what beauty?

Talk of what good marriage?

How I've suffered

because you didn't say goodbye properly.

I had to leave my home because of the riot.

It's been such a tough journey, I almost died.

And now, on my wedding night

You're trying to avoid me.

I'm not some low class woman.

I've studied, and I've been brought up properly.

How'd I go into the garden in the middle of the night?

You failed to tell the right and wrong.

What about my reputation now?

I'm going to cut my hair,

and will become a nun.

Don't be mad, dear wife.

I'd kneel in front of you.

He kneels.

I'd kneel until you smile,

or I'd kneel for a whole year.

Looking at you kneeling here, I pity you.

We're a couple after all.

Let's be two lotus flowers on the same branch.

They're kneeling towards each other.

Gong An Inn

Let us stay here!

No, the inn is full.

We want to stay.

No.

Sorry, His Highness is staying here.

You can't bother him.

At times like this,

who cares whether he's a royal.

Right! We can stay here also.

Why are you making all the noise here?

Trying to revolt?

No, all the inns are full.

Where can I stay?

Don't bother His Highness.

Quiet...

They can sleep in the barn.

Alright?

Sorry about this.

Fine...

Please...

Enough...will you stop crying?

Go sleep soon.

Good girl.

Don't worry.

We'll find your dad tomorrow.

Bad luck.

Really regret.

Regret?

Of course.

Bad luck, how?

You don't call this bad luck?

It's been bad luck since I've married you.

You brought the robbers here.

And look at the mess I am in.

My residence has been torched down.

And you don't think it's bad luck for me?

I have nothing but regrets since I married you.

You have bad fengshui around you.

I don't have a good life.

There's not a proper place for me to sleep.

I'm a young lady, and I've to put up with all this.

Of course I have my regrets.

You should be.

And you said you're having bad luck?

Fine...it's not bad luck.

I've regrets too.

What did you say? You have regrets?

I don't, and I shouldn't.

I dare not.

From now on, let's be a good couple.

The husband follows the wife's lead.

You lead, I'll follow.

Don't say I'm ugly, and I won't complain of your weight.

You think I'm over-weight?

Not exactly.

You're like Emperor Tang's favourite concubine Yang.

That's more like it.

You're like Concubine Yang, I'm like Emperor Tang Ming.

In your dreams!

I'm like Emperor Tang Ming's urine.

Let's be a pair of love birds.

I'll follow your lead wherever you go.

Today, we're staying at the inn.

With my dear beside me, I'll massage you.

That hurts.

Oh, I must have used too much force.

Lady.

Yes?

The madam and Miss Xueyan, and Master Zhu are here.

I'm tired, it's your fault.

What did I do?

It's your fault.

Fine...

Madam, Miss Xueyan, please rest.

I'll tell the old master.

Go on.

Yes.

Miss Xue-e.

What's wrong?

She's the one who turned up at my study.

She's my older sister.

Master Mu.

Mother.

-Miss Cheng. -Master Mu.

Madam.

Mother-in-law, I'm Mu Jiyi.

You are...

Mother, he is Master Mu.

I'm married to him.

You...

Master Mu, how could you?

Say hello to my sister.

Dear sister.

Miss Cheng, how could you...

What?

My dear wife.

This is your brother-in-law.

Brother-in-law.

Miss Cheng, have a seat.

Sit down.

Master Mu, have a seat.

Brother Mu, sit here...

Brother Mu, sit here...

It's been a while, how are you?

Your Highness.

We're family now.

I still haven't thanked you for your horse.

Don't mention it, I'm still embarrassed.

How's that? Brother Zhu?

I gave you a horse,

hoping that I could rough things up.

That you wouldn't get married,

but didn't expect myself to be married to a ghost.

What?

I saw her first.

Are you complaining?

I saw him first.

It's all because of the rotten plan,

that I married a fool like you.

Miss Xueyan, Master Zhu.

Please stop blaming each other.

You're a good match.

Old master.

Dad.

Old master.

Father-in-law.

Dad.

Father-in-law.

My dear.

You've got some nerve showing up here.

Dad.

We've travelled all this way,

what's wrong with you?

Tell me, how did you take care of Xue-e's wedding?

That...

Dad.

You old fool.

My dear.

Please don't be angry.

I did a good job at the wedding.

If I didn't make a mess,

Xue-e would be married to that fool.

Don't bring it up...my bad luck.

What? You're saying you're unlucky again?

Xueyan.

You have a point.

Now that we're all safe,

and the whole family has reunited

Guess I deserve some good compliments.

Why all the complaining?

You...

Dad, please don't blame my mother.

It's my fault that I've scared him away.

Please don't be angry, father-in-law.

It's because of my bad intentions and blindness.

I hoped to marry a beauty under someone else's name,

but I ended up with her.

You can punish me all you want.

Torture me all you want.

Father-in-law, if you're still mad,

I'll jump into a river to become a turtle.

It's alright if you're a turtle.

But what about me then?

Don't be mad, daddy. We're a family.

Mother-in-law must be tired, let's forget an old grudge

If something like that happens again, I won't meddle.

Again?

Thank you for your plead.

We're a family after all.

Dad, please give us a smile.

It's a sunny day after all.

You two are so kind to have forgiven me,

that makes me really embarrassed.

From now on we will be one happy family.

Talent and beauty.

Jackal and tigress.

Go to hell...

Phoenix has returned to the nest.

May you grow old together.

Now that the family is reunited,

Spring and happiness seem to be all around

Filled with spring and happiness.
