The Story of Ming Lan

3

Episode 70

4

A few days ago, he went to Fengxian's courtyard to make some inspections.

5

I harshly scolded him about it.

6

He even was smiling and saying that I was jealous. Why would I be jealous?

7

He always thinks for my sake, for my family.

8

He even locked Second Brother up.

9

I won't be jealous anymore.

10

Madam.

11

I...

12

What's wrong?

13

The Marquis got detained in the palace!

14

Ming'er! Ming'er!

15

Madam.

16

Ru'an! Bring us some ginger soup!

17

Second Young Master.

18

The kitchen made your favorite sprout vegetable soup.

19

Old Madam even instructed to give you extra.

20

Second Young Master, come have a taste.

21

- What soup?

- Sprout vegetable soup. It's your favorite.

22

No! No! Second Young Master! Second Young Master!

23

Second Young Master!

24

Second Young Master!

25

Lower your voice.

26

Second Young Master, let go of me! Hurry!

27

Second Young Master, let go of me!

28

Let go of me!

29

Let go of me, Second Young Master!

30

Second Young Master!

31

Let go of me!

32

Let go of me!

33

Let go of me!

34

Second Young Master.

35

Second Young Master, please enjoy your meal.

36

How dare you! Unruly!

37

[ Shen Manor ]

38

General! General!

39

I don't care at all about that! I must see my husband the Marquis!

40

Little Sister-in-law,

41

I personally went to beg for leniency, but no one gave a damn.

42

Even if you go, I fear that it won't work.

43

No, I must go.

44

You have a conferred title. You can enter the palace anytime.

45

I'll prepare your visitation request now and submit it.

46

I'm sure that there will be a result by tomorrow.

47

It won't work!

48

The palace has refused five of my visitation requests already!

49

This...

50

If there's no other way, I'll just charge my way into the palace.

51

Don't fret.

52

Their Wang Family can beat the Dengwen Drum. Why can't I?

53

Their daughter wanted to kill me! That's the truth!

54

I'm the victim and witness here! I'm not yet dead!

55

Must I just let their family distort the truth like that,

56

and falsely accuse my husband the Marquis?

57

- Shitou. Xiaotao!

- Madam, what are your instructions.

58

Minglan! Minglan! You can't do it like that.

59

You're being muddled.

60

His Majesty currently is just angry for a moment. If you charge into the palace and escalate this matter,

61

even if the Emperor wants to defend him,

62

I fear that he won't be able to continue it anymore.

63

What should I do then?

64

Must I get trapped here outside

65

in this pitch-dark night, and wait for him?

66

Wait for him, while unsure of his safety and survival?

67

My good sister, you're unable to enter the palace, but I can.

68

You still won't admit your mistakes? Just try still not admitting your mistakes!

69

You're just going to rush to the Kaifeng Precinct like that?

70

Your mother, your grandmother and I, we all will be painfully hurt by you!

71

The future of your sisters and your little brother, you don't care about them anymore?

72

You were even thirteenth on your first try at the Imperial civil examination.

73

How many of the loyal and filial virtues have you remembered!

74

Correcting the mistakes of the monarch is being loyal!

75

You're the only one who understands that, is that it?

76

- Holding up the sky for one's family...is being filial!

- You're the only who knows?

77

In the whole family, you're the only filial one?

78

Being a model son is being respectful!

79

Just continue talking! Just continue answering back!

80

- Arguing for the law...

- Okay!

81

is what integrity should be!

82

Let me beat you, you loyal, filial, respectful, and man of integrity then!

83

You even claim that supporting the sky for your family is being filial.

84

Our Sheng Family's sky wiill be falling soon!

85

When I was young, our Sheng Family was in a fallen state and suffered the supercilious looks of others.

86

I made an ambitious oath that I would make our family prestigious.

87

I was diligent in striving hard, and thus was able to obtain a little achievement.

88

But I dared not slack off even for a moment.

89

But you?

90

What? Our Sheng Family...

91

Do you want our Sheng Family to be dragged down by that Madam Kang and end up in dire straits?

92

Changbai,

93

you are a person who is highly-favored by the Emperor.

94

Seeing as how your path will be that of an outstanding official,

95

you don't want it anymore?

96

Okay. You don't want it.

97

Don't you care about the numerous members of our House of Sheng either?

98

Drag him out.

99

Tie him up. Tie him up!

100

Tie him up!

101

My ancestors...my ancestors...

102

My ancestors.

103

My ancestors...

104

Your Highness, you're not believing that those damned acts were done by Marquis Gu, right?

105

No need for beating around the bush in testing me.

106

That Second Gu has indeed been too much of a scoundrel.

107

The Emperor lately feels unwell.

108

To put it bluntly,

109

you all may not know

110

that he deliberately incited these troubles.

111

He has caused the government to be in chaos.

112

Relying on his good relationship with my Ying'er, he now fears nothing.

113

Unable to produce the murder weapon and only expecting the Emperor to defend him?

114

What those people from the Wang Family are saying are all lies! That Grand Madam Qin has colluded with them!

115

Minglan!

116

Even if my husband indeed made a grave mistake, it was only because he was too eager to protect me.

117

Must he not do anything when he sees someone trying to kill me?

118

Regarding the Bai Family assets, killing his father and son, all are lies.

119

They are only telling half of the story, and that half is even fake.

120

Your Highness, do you trust him?

121

Of course, I trust your Marquis Gu.

122

But now, the House of Wang indeed lost a daughter.

123

This matter can't be justified.

124

Your Highness, the Bai Family and Grand Madam Qin want to destroy our house.

125

Break apart His Majesty from his trusted aide.

126

- Minglan.

- Your Highness.

127

Minglan!

128

Good child.

129

I understand your suffering. Let's just leave everything to His Majesty's wise judgment.

130

Go back now and wait for news.

131

- Your Highness.

- Minglan!

132

- Your Highness!

- What are you doing? Let go!

133

You can proceed with trying the case, but why must he be locked up inside this palace?

134

Your Highness, he...won't be fleeing.

135

If His Majesty still can't be at ease,

136

you can just send the Imperial Guards to guard our house.

137

- Your Highness!

- Minglan!

138

Do you still even know the law?

139

Minglan, quickly let go.

140

The law should have a proper procedure being followed.

141

By law, there should be punishment for the one who committed a mistake, reward for anyone with merits.

142

Your Highness, my husband and I

143

have given our all to come up with strategies

144

for His Majesty and Your Highness. We've long offended the Empress Dowager!

145

Minglan, what nonsense are you speaking? Quickly be silent!

146

Your Highness! Your Highness, I beg you to understand her!

147

I beg you to pity her for encountering such a matter when she's less than a month postpartum, Your Highness!

148

This palace is full of Empress Dowager's spies. How could he be safe here?

149

- What nonsense are you saying?

- Your Highness!

150

Madam Sheng, I know that you and Marquis Gu did a lot for us.

151

But now, there is indeed a kinswoman of an important official who has died.

152

Be obedient. Don't worry.

153

Go back now and wait for news.

154

- Your Highness! It...was my...

- Thank you, Your Highness!

155

It was my husband who delivered the Imperial decree

156

- for the throne succession on behalf of the late Emperor!

- Minglan!

157

Cutting through thorns and thistles, it was I who delivered that succession decree! Your Highness!

158

Stop saying it, Minglan!

159

- Your Highness!

- Minglan!

160

His Majesty owes me a reward!

161

Servant! Servant! Drag this crazy woman away!

162

Wait!

163

Go back and prepare some items to visit Marquis Gu in the inner palace hall.

164

When I heard from you last time

165

that your wife loves Princess Pingyang who guarded the Niangzi Pass,

166

I already knew that she has the personality of riding her horse and going into battle. Now that's really great.

167

She made a scene in my Imperial Mother's palace, leaving my mother no choice.

168

She agreed to let her visit you in a short while.

169

Are you happy now?

170

She created a scene?

171

She really did that?

172

Were you there?

173

If I had been there, I would have kicked her out!

174

You were not there, so why are you spouting this nonsense to me?

175

Quickly! Quickly! Go look for someone who was there to answer my questions!

176

What is there to ask about?

177

How could there be nothing!

178

My wife has never acted atrociously for me,

179

I've never seen her make a scene!

180

You...quickly leave. Quickly find someone

181

- to answer my questions.

- Have you gone crazy?

182

Go. Go. Go.

183

Quickly. Quickly.

184

My Young Master has had a hard fate all his life.

185

He lost his mother when he was young. He thought that his stepmother was a Bodhisattva.

186

Who knew that after wiping off her face, (T/N revealing herself)

187

she's actually a monster.

188

His father was also harsh on him.

189

That extremely evil Manniang,

190

actually dared to deceive him.

191

I thought that his hard life had finally ended when he married you, Big Madam.

192

But who knew...

193

Who knew that those scoundrels next door just wouldn't let him off.

194

These past days, I've been investigating the poisoning matter,

195

and was unable to find anything.

196

I'm so useless.

197

Nanny, I can save him.

198

I surely can save him.

199

Madam.

200

Big Madam is here. She wants to see you in private.

201

- Main Mother.

- Ming.

202

Mother is worried about you.

203

Stop saying those useless things.

204

What really is your plan now?

205

How do you want me to think?

206

Everything is my fault. Mother told me numerous times

207

not to have any dealings with my older sister, but I just wouldn't listen.

208

Now it has led to a huge disaster and even dragged your husband the Marquis into it.

209

When Mother learned that something bad happened to our family, she repeatedly begged Father and Grandmother,

210

and thus was temporarily pardoned to return here and visit you.

211

But because she was afraid that the House of Wang will get mad, she traveled at night, cloaked in black.

212

Sixth Little Sister, look at how concerned Mother is about you.

213

Yes. Yes.

214

On the way here, I've carefully thought about it.

215

What if, I just mean what if.

216

What if you and your husband the Marquis amicably separate after his noble title has been taken away?

217

Then this child will become the son of a criminal.

218

I know that my words might be harsh,

219

but as a mother, you must think more for the sake of your child.

220

Main Mother, I know everything

221

that you're saying now. It's hard even for a person that's very close to me to mention them.

222

You even risked danger to come say it.

223

You are thinking for my sake.

224

I told you that your Sixth Little Sister would understand.

225

Your husband the Marquis hasn't been sentenced for any crimes yet.

226

Amicably separate now and live in our manor,

227

and you'll still be a daughter of the Sheng Family and the child will be a Sheng descendant.

228

Changbai currently is quite successful in his career. He surely will have a good future ahead.

229

With this child having the protection of his uncle,

230

no one would dare criticize him.

231

If you love Second Gu, once this matter is over,

232

you two can still get back together. But if it won't end,

233

you're still able to preserve the child.

234

This child is also his child.

235

That's right.

236

I know that what you're saying are all sincere words.

237

But since we're married as husband and wife,

238

we then should be of one voice and one breath, one heart and one fate.

239

Child, it's fine for our family to suffer some hardships.

240

But your child is still too little.

241

Mother, in the past, it has always been him protecting me.

242

Now, let me be the one to defend him.

243

Ming'er, your husband the Marquis dotes on you so much.

244

If he knew what you're doing, his heart would surely ache.

245

I have made my decision.

247

Never thought that they would provide you adequate charcoal heat.

248

Looks like you won't need this animal skin blanket anymore.

249

Keep it anyway. You can cover yourself with it when you feel cold at night.

250

I fear that you won't be needing that chess set anymore. I'll just take it back with me.

251

Those books...

252

are all southern opera songs.

253

Just read them for some fun. They're different from the books you have here.

254

This...

255

I was afraid that you're cold.

256

It's better that I just take them back with me.

257

I'm cold right now.

258

A few days ago,

259

I heard that you went to the palace of Her Highness the Empress and created a scene?

260

Yes. You're happy now?

261

I know that you're anxious for me. You even thought of charging into the palace.

262

I'm happy. I'm happier than wearing any animal skin cape.

263

I won't bring anything the next time I come then.

264

I'll just roll over in front of you.

265

This was personally made by your birth mother.

266

At that time, she didn't know

267

that you would become my husband.

268

If she knew that you're going to be her son-in-law,

269

she surely would have embroidered a tiger on this.

270

You're more energetic when you were young.

271

Do you still remember how I was back then?

272

When we were playing touhu, I thought,

273

"Can this little girl really play?"

274

Never thought that you could throw so accurately!

275

I remember that...

276

I remember how you looked when you were

277

looking for a doctor for my Little Mother.

278

I've always remembered.

279

I also remember that.

280

In my heart, I've always been grateful to you.

281

But afterward, I realized that there are too many things that I should thank you for.

282

The person that I should be most grateful to is your mother,

283

because she gave birth to you.

284

I asked Second Tu and Shitou to search the whole city of Bianjing.

285

They couldn't find any traces of Eldest Bai and Manniang.

286

They are the best daggers.

287

Now that I've been locked up in here,

288

how could they let you find them so easily?

289

They've committed so many sins.

290

We'll eventually find them.

291

They surely will leave some clues.

292

Let's amicably separate.

293

I've written the separation letter.

294

Even the separation of assets,

295

I've also written it and left it with Prince Huan.

296

I'll leave Shitou and Second Tu to you.

297

Let them protect and take care of you and our child.

298

That lad, Shitou,

299

likes your maidservant Xiaotao.

300

The two of them have mutual affection.

301

You...try to be the matchmaker and just fulfill their wish.

302

You want to divorce me?

303

Amicable separation. It's not a divorce, just an amicable separation.

304

Once I get released, I'll marry you again.

305

What did you say when you married me?

306

You even said that you'd be my sky and earth.

307

Now...now you tell me that you're divorcing me?

308

Presently, the House of Wang, House of Qin,

309

and the Remonstrance Bureau have Empress Dowager's forces.

310

Among the ordinary citizens, the gossip about me has also been spreading like wildfire.

311

They say that I'm arrogant and overbearing, that I brag about my great contributions,

312

I'm just casually killing people, and can't be tried for my crimes.

313

The Emperor...is also currently...

314

He fears and doubts Prince Huan, so he surely fear and doubt you too.

315

Right.

316

So you feel that your noble title will surely be removed, and you'll get imprisoned?

317

So...you insist on amicably separating with me.

318

Empress Dowager is hell-bent on toppling me.

319

His Majesty is also wavering.

320

What did I tell you before?

321

I told you to be careful.

322

Stop being so unrestrained just because you have some old affection with them,

323

but you just wouldn't listen.

324

I was wrong.

325

I was wrong. I can't continue being wrong.

326

We must amicably separate now.

327

Absolutely not!

328

You'll be in danger if you stay with me.

329

Even if you don't want to think about yourself, think for the sake of your grandmother.

330

She just recovered from her illness.

331

Just about this matter, if she gets agitated and mad, what then?

332

What storm has my grandmother not seen?

333

There are still our child, Rong'er, Nanny Chang.

334

I can only depend on you.

335

I've thought about it.

336

If I die,

337

the child will be raised by Eldest Brother Changbai.

338

Before, you wanted him...wanted Brother Changbai to be our child's teacher?

339

By doing that, we're not really troubling them.

340

What do you mean, "die"?

341

We still haven't even given our child a name!

342

I already did.

343

His name is Tuan'er.

344

Your child and I will wait for your return to reunite with us.

345

Tuan'er.

346

Okay.

347

Okay.

348

Are you still amicably separating?

349

Are you still amicably separating?

350

Amicably...

351

Amicably separating.

352

The future days are long.

353

If we're unable to get past this obstacle,

354

we also won't in the future.

355

This child can't really forever live in a blessed and happy house like Cheng Garden.

356

Being able to see how the real world is upon being born is good too.

357

But Gu Tingye, you had better think about it clearly.

358

Once we amicably separate and you decide to come back,

359

I won't have you anymore!

360

If you won't have me, who will you have?

361

Yuanruo is already married. Not wanting me...

362

In this world, not only his ducal house of Qi has a young duke.

363

There's one in the ducal state of Zhen and in the Prince Ru Manor.

364

Prince Ru's son is only twelve years old this year!

365

Prince Ru Manor...

366

- If you sign the separation letter, you...

- I...

367

We...we'll distance ourselves from each other afterward.

368

You'll have no right to meddle with my affairs from now on.

369

Besides, Brother Hongwen isn't married yet.

370

I remember that day on the polo field,

371

when I proposed marriage to you,

372

I told you that I wouldn't let you suffer from now on.

373

But you... Since you married me, the grievances you have suffered

374

were more than before.

375

Sometimes, I would think that I shouldn't have obtained you by deception and force,

376

making such a huge circle just to marry you.

377

If you were currently married to Qi Heng

378

or He Hongwen, maybe you would only have to deal with harem fights.

379

It wouldn't be as bloody and stormy

380

as my Gu Family.

381

I didn't marry somebody else.

382

I only married you.

383

Okay.

384

Okay.

385

It's still better to be married to me.

386

Am I right?

387

Don't be too anxious.

388

Prince Huan and your husband the Marquis have such a good relationship.

389

Even for the sake of brotherhood,

390

he surely will beg His Majesty and Her Highness for some leniency.

391

It's better not to talk about such favors for now.

392

Let's just talk about this case full of false accusations.

393

If only we can find a witness or evidence, as long as we can find at least one,

394

we can then delay the time.

395

That is an Imperial decree. An Imperial decree!

396

Gu Tingye, listen to the Imperial decree.

397

I decree

398

that the Deputy Commander of the Palace Command, (T/N full list of Gu Tingye's titles)

399

belonging to the Wukang Military Rank,

400

the Yangzhou Governor responsible for monitoring

401

and handling the affairs of Yangzhou and given the duty to manage the military matters of Yangzhou,

402

the "High State Pillar", Marquis of Ningyuan, (T/N vital minister or general supporting the dynasty)

403

conferred with lands encompassing nineteen hundred tenant households for his merits,

404

conferred lands with three hundred households because of his noble title, named Gu Tingye,

405

because of saving the late Emperor became a right-hand man.

406

He has repeatedly achieved great merits for the state, in payment for his grand salary.

407

He doesn't think twice in serving loyally as a way of giving back to the Imperial favor he honorably enjoys.

408

Every time he acts without restraint, he relies on his power for shelter and waits for an opportunity.

409

He is rash and careless, eventually killing an official's wife.

410

As an official, he was corrupt, forcefully seizing the assets of normal citizens.

411

There were documents presented and complaint letters written.

412

There are overflowing signs of his evil deeds, and his infamous reputation is widespread.

413

He lacks self-repentance and claims to be innocent.

414

Full of rudeness and arrogance that's been unheard of.

415

He brought disgrace to the Marquis title,

416

a real taint to clean governance.

417

The conferred titles of Gu Tingye

418

and those of his wife and child will be removed and abolished.

419

Gu Tingye will be imprisoned, and then exiled as a servant two thousand li from here after the autumn.

420

Marquis, please accept the Imperial decree and be thankful for His Majesty's grace.

421

No...

422

- Sir! Sir, he's innocent! Sir!

- I accept the decree.

423

Sir! He's innocent!

424

Sir! Marquis Husband! Marquis Husband!

425

Yuanruo.

426

Mother.

427

It's late.

428

What do you plan to do while wearing such dark clothes?

429

I'm seeing a friend.

430

You haven't known how to lie since you were young.

431

It's written all over your face.

432

Since Mother already knows,

433

why then must you still ask?

434

Sheng Minglan is now someone's wife.

435

Whatever happens to her husband

436

is not your business.

437

Why still go?

438

Mother, don't have skewed thoughts.

439

Right now, the Marquis of Ningyuan has been found guilty.

440

Who isn't avoiding passing through the gates of the House of Gu so they too won't get implicated?

441

How come you must get involved in this muddied water?

442

I believe that Second Uncle is innocent.

443

Stop right there!

444

Mother.

445

Why are you here?

446

Husband, don't you know why I'm here?

447

What is it?

448

You also want to stop me?

449

You also don't believe me?

450

What's this about "stopping and not believing"?

451

Husband, you said last week

452

you'd have fewer documents to handle by tonight.

453

We agreed that you'd take me to a meal at Fan House.

454

When did I say that?

455

What did you say?

456

Husband has forgotten this because of being too busy.

457

But fun things like this, I haven't forgotten.

458

I've heard there's a new shop inside Fan House that has a new "snowflake wine".

459

They used the first snow from last year.

460

I'll bring Mother some back later.

461

It will be warming to your stomach this winter, once you've heated it.

462

What have you been busy with all day?

463

You should be accompanying your wife more.

464

You even forget about such things?

465

If Husband goes back on your promise again, I'm going to make a scene and cry hard this time.

466

Change your clothes first before leaving.

467

It's very late, and you're wearing such dark clothes.

468

Be careful of getting trampled by others. (T/N sarcastic, implying he won't be seen...)

469

I'll get you some clothes.

470

Husband, you don't look happy.

471

Change the route!

472

We're not going to Fan House. Go to Cheng Garden.

473

Husband, you've been restless today.

474

But I know Mother-in-law's temper.

475

She will never let you out of the house.

476

Are you happy now?

477

I'm happy too.

478

My virtuous nephew and niece-in-law aren't afraid of getting implicated in our family's case,

479

and have even come to visit me and my child.

480

I am very grateful.

481

The two of us were classmates once.

482

The House of Qi and House of Gu are also relatives. It's just proper that we do this.

483

Madam Sheng, you must take care of your health.

484

You still must keep everything propped up.

485

I've seen your house's Grand Madam and the other two houses several times.

486

They are quite hard to deal with. You must be very careful.

487

I understand.

488

I've already decided

489

to write a complaint narrating my painful grievances,

490

and then beat the Dengwen Drum.

491

But beating the Dengwen Drum will escalate this matter until it's irremediable.

492

If Sixth Little Sister trusts me, then hand me the complaint letter.

493

I'll submit it on your behalf.

494

If beating the Dengwen Drum won't work, I'll kneel in front of the Imperial Ancestral Hall.

495

Since they were not afraid to escalate this matter, neither am I.

496

How can you be this muddled? That's expressly defying the Emperor!

497

Empress Dowager surely will be so happy as to light firecrackers in the inner palace! (T/N celebrate)

498

I'll submit it for you.

499

I will personally carry it to His Majesty's hands.

500

This is an affair of our Gu Family.

501

It should be our people going forward to seek justice.

502

If we pass it through other people's hands, it might make us look insincere.

503

I also don't want to implicate you, Young Lord.

504

Let's not talk about how to submit the complaint letter first.

505

May I ask if Madam has any new reasons for filing your complaint?

506

What?

507

This case has been discussed for several days and has been rumored about the whole capital.

508

All the details have been gone over in the court.

509

If you don't have any new position, even if you are able to appear in front of His Majesty,

510

it will all just be the same old arguments, just big talk that's being turned and re-mentioned.

511

Even if His Majesty has intentions to save him, he won't have the ability to do so.

512

Madam, you have never been a person who is reckless and rash.

513

How come this time..?

514

I...didn't think that much.

515

I just feel that, even if I'm to risk my life,

516

I must fight my case until the very end.

517

You're being muddled because of caring too much.

518

If we don't have any new evidence,

519

it's better that you don't file a complaint.

520

What Hezhen said is correct.

521

Sixth Little Sister, we must aim to make a sure hit.

522

Don't act recklessly.

523

That House of Bai,

524

and...that person..?

525

Zhu Manniang.

526

Right. We'll help you find them.

527

If we find any other evidence, then let's gather it.

528

These past few days, someone's been poisoning me.

529

I still haven't found out who it is.

530

What?

531

This is a good thing.

532

I understand.

533

These people who are harming me and those who harmed my husband the Marquis

534

- must be connected.

- Even if there isn't one,

535

as long as you grab hold of a chance, pester His Majesty with it.

536

This case now is chaotic.

537

As long as you stir it more, we'll then have time to collect evidences.

538

It's far better than bringing up past details in front of the Emperor.

539

You said it so well.

540

Sixth Little Sister, the reason you're unable to catch them

541

is because they're hiding in the dark, while you're out in the open.

542

Why not put some disorder in your house? The more disordered, the better.

543

The more disordered it is, the more that person will want to make a move. If they don't make a move,

544

that person behind them will then force them to do so.

545

Even if I don't want things to be chaotic, someone will try to smash things and make it so.

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".

548

♫One morning, a flower opened and approached a willow tree,

beautifully fragrant and mistaking him for her lord♫

549

♫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♫

550

♫In the palace, you are constantly brave and growing thin,

from on high, your cold tears of distress flow♫

551

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

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

552

♫Last night, gusty winds and rain

during my deep slumber did not spoil the wine's lingering effect♫

553

♫When I asked someone, they rolled the blind up

and told me that all the crab-apple trees are as before.♫

554

♫Don't you know, don't you know,

there must be flourishing leaves and fallen flowers?♫
