<i>The Story of Ming Lan</i>

3
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,020
<i>Episode 13</i>

4
00:01:11,670 --> 00:01:15,420
- Did you say that? Did you really say that!
- What did I say?

5
00:01:15,420 --> 00:01:18,170
What did I say?

6
00:01:18,170 --> 00:01:21,620
I once said the Emperor was too harsh with Yang Wuduan

7
00:01:21,620 --> 00:01:25,260
and it ruined his entire life. You heard it from me,

8
00:01:25,260 --> 00:01:27,510
and you turned around and went to tattle to the Emperor!

9
00:01:27,510 --> 00:01:29,770
How could I have an older brother like you in this world?

10
00:01:29,770 --> 00:01:33,210
- I... I... this... 
<i>- Release your older brother!</i>

11
00:01:33,210 --> 00:01:35,100
Release him!

12
00:01:35,100 --> 00:01:37,860
Speak! Why did you harm me?

13
00:01:37,860 --> 00:01:41,080
I swear that nothing like this happened.

14
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:42,350
- Let go.
- Bastard!

15
00:01:42,350 --> 00:01:46,210
You went to the brothels and blabbed your mouth off and said those unfilial words.

16
00:01:46,210 --> 00:01:48,030
You still want to blame your older brother?

17
00:01:48,030 --> 00:01:52,060
I didn't say anything about this out there. I said it when I was studying in the study room!

18
00:01:52,060 --> 00:01:55,090
At that time, I wasn't even twelve years old yet.

19
00:01:55,090 --> 00:01:57,100
Seeing how nice your writing was,

20
00:01:57,100 --> 00:01:59,200
I practiced with you every day.

21
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,570
When I said this, no one else was there!

22
00:02:01,570 --> 00:02:03,890
It wasn't me. It really wasn't me!

23
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:05,930
Second Uncle, show some sympathy!

24
00:02:05,930 --> 00:02:08,140
Father, save me!

25
00:02:08,140 --> 00:02:09,710
Since young, my husband has been weak and always sick.

26
00:02:09,710 --> 00:02:12,220
He can't even go on the path of an Imperial exam for a post.

27
00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:14,080
Has he ever fought with you for anything?

28
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:18,600
How will it benefit him if he frames you, Second Uncle?

29
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,250
<i>Let go of your hand.</i>

30
00:02:21,210 --> 00:02:22,840
Let go!

31
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,720
Lord.

32
00:02:30,350 --> 00:02:32,280
I find it very strange too

33
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:35,400
as to why you keep framing me.

34
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:39,480
Since young until now, you made life difficult for me.

35
00:02:39,900 --> 00:02:42,560
You deliberately fell, and said that I pushed you.

36
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:45,710
When you had a fever, you said that I scared you!

37
00:02:45,710 --> 00:02:48,970
When I was five, you took Father's finger-guard

38
00:02:48,970 --> 00:02:51,470
and said that I stole it!

39
00:02:51,470 --> 00:02:54,820
Father, without differentiating what's right and wrong,

40
00:02:54,820 --> 00:02:59,420
would always beat me. Why didn't everyone think about

41
00:02:59,420 --> 00:03:02,330
why you, my own older brother, wanted to harm me!

42
00:03:02,330 --> 00:03:04,810
You... what are you talking about?

43
00:03:04,810 --> 00:03:06,690
Shut up.

44
00:03:06,690 --> 00:03:10,810
This is basically not your older brother's issue. Even if he said it,

45
00:03:10,810 --> 00:03:12,580
<i>he has to have something to talk about.</i>

46
00:03:12,580 --> 00:03:15,540
If you hadn't spewed out such wild talk,

47
00:03:15,540 --> 00:03:18,320
even if he wanted to go and spread it outside eight <i>li</i> around,

48
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,600
he would still need something to speak of.

49
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,620
So, this is how Father thinks.

50
00:03:31,630 --> 00:03:33,880
This is really how Father thinks.

51
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:37,680
You don't need to show me how you have suffered,

52
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,550
where's your fault, have you ever admitted it?

53
00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:45,390
You always push it to your older brother

54
00:03:45,390 --> 00:03:47,720
or your cousins.

55
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:52,470
It's always their mess they've caused. <i>But you are so tall,</i> (T/N above it all, high and mighty)

56
00:03:52,470 --> 00:03:55,650
and have never created any disasters?

57
00:03:59,380 --> 00:04:00,790
Fine.

58
00:04:02,170 --> 00:04:04,090
I understand now.

59
00:04:05,070 --> 00:04:07,280
I understand everything now.

60
00:04:09,950 --> 00:04:12,910
<i>Even if my body is covered with mouths,</i> (T/N no matter what he says)

61
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:16,410
I won't be able to go up against your prejudice.

62
00:04:25,770 --> 00:04:27,260
<i>Lord.</i>

63
00:04:53,500 --> 00:04:55,360
Enough, son.

64
00:04:57,190 --> 00:05:00,940
For the past few days, you have been drowning your sorrows with wine.

65
00:05:00,940 --> 00:05:05,980
I know you are very sad and haven't been talking much

66
00:05:06,900 --> 00:05:11,430
but you should have a limit too.

67
00:05:11,430 --> 00:05:16,270
If you continue this way, you will have a hard time with your life.

68
00:05:17,410 --> 00:05:22,120
Nanny, I won't get drunk again.

69
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,590
How should I explain to Man'er and the children?

70
00:05:26,590 --> 00:05:30,760
What's there to explain? Failing an examination is a common thing.

71
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,080
It's not a big deal. You can take the examination again.

72
00:05:34,430 --> 00:05:36,290
I won't be able to do it again.

73
00:05:37,910 --> 00:05:39,780
It was the Emperor

74
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:43,400
who personally removed my name.

75
00:05:44,340 --> 00:05:49,700
He even said I can only take the examination again when I'm fifty years old.

76
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,620
I fear I will never have any future in this lifetime.

77
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:57,590
What? This... 

78
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:21,490
Then... ask your father to plead with the Emperor.

79
00:06:21,490 --> 00:06:25,370
Just say that you were young and didn't know anything.

80
00:06:28,180 --> 00:06:29,730
It's useless.

81
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,020
My father is sure that it's my fault.

82
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:37,210
He was eager to say that it was my fault.

83
00:06:39,470 --> 00:06:41,410
I'm not accomplished.

84
00:06:42,220 --> 00:06:44,860
It seems like Mother deserved to die.

85
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:49,140
It also seems that I'm not fit to be the main heir of this marquis house.

86
00:06:49,140 --> 00:06:54,080
Everyone in that manor believes their own lies.

87
00:06:54,820 --> 00:06:58,870
They all think by doing so,

88
00:06:58,870 --> 00:07:03,900
they can forget the reality that they married my mother because of money.

89
00:07:03,900 --> 00:07:06,680
Mother, I'm thirsty.

90
00:07:10,010 --> 00:07:11,640
Wait here.

91
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,620
Your father can't be an official.

92
00:07:33,620 --> 00:07:36,030
Official?

93
00:07:36,030 --> 00:07:37,970
He can't be an official.

94
00:07:39,150 --> 00:07:42,060
The Marquis doesn't like him.

95
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,490
In the future, he wants to be a separate family from him.

96
00:07:45,490 --> 00:07:48,350
I'm afraid he won't have a stable life anymore.

97
00:07:50,780 --> 00:07:55,590
Now that it has come to this, I can only

98
00:07:55,590 --> 00:07:59,740
take a chance again. Get up.

99
00:08:00,410 --> 00:08:01,860
Where's the lock?

100
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,090
That's right.

101
00:08:13,100 --> 00:08:14,540
I... 

102
00:08:15,580 --> 00:08:18,280
I'm really unaccomplished.

103
00:08:18,870 --> 00:08:23,240
I disappointed my maternal grandfather and my mother.

104
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,190
They hoped that I would win top marks in the Imperial examination

105
00:08:29,210 --> 00:08:32,560
and bring honor to our Bai family's name.

106
00:08:34,090 --> 00:08:35,920
But I...

107
00:08:37,150 --> 00:08:40,060
Because of a casual remark,

108
00:08:40,060 --> 00:08:43,240
my future has been cut off.

109
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:48,390
I'm as the Gu family claims... 

110
00:08:49,230 --> 00:08:52,930
I'm an unfilial son!

111
00:08:52,930 --> 00:08:56,460
Young Master, don't say that.

112
00:08:56,460 --> 00:08:58,870
You are wrong in thinking this way.

113
00:08:58,870 --> 00:09:02,420
When you were born, your mother told me that

114
00:09:02,900 --> 00:09:06,400
she hoped that you would be happy and safe.

115
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,060
As for the rest, she didn't care at all!

116
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,120
Nanny.

117
00:09:19,150 --> 00:09:21,510
The five of us,

118
00:09:22,580 --> 00:09:25,420
Let's go to the rural area of Yangzhou

119
00:09:25,420 --> 00:09:27,750
and find a place

120
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:31,600
to live quietly and in peace.

121
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,690
- Okay?
- I will listen to you.

122
00:09:36,930 --> 00:09:39,600
As long as you can live happily,

123
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,660
I can live any kind of life.

124
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,190
I'm going to the Marquis Manor to move everything out.

125
00:10:02,190 --> 00:10:05,650
If the Marquis Manor can't tolerate me anymore, I don't want to stay there any longer.

126
00:10:05,650 --> 00:10:11,690
In the future, we, Rong'er and Chang'er will live quietly and in peace.

127
00:10:19,540 --> 00:10:21,240
<i>I'm afraid</i>

128
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:30,110
if you create a scene at the Marquis Manor,

129
00:10:30,660 --> 00:10:35,400
they will arrest you, beat and imprison you. What will we do?

130
00:10:37,890 --> 00:10:40,590
It's still better to have a long-term plan.

131
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,770
What are you afraid of? Those at the Marquis Manor can't do anything to me.

132
00:10:46,770 --> 00:10:49,910
To add further, I have Shitou.

133
00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:53,220
Shitou grew up in the canal gang.

134
00:10:56,430 --> 00:11:00,000
If I don't succeed, my family name is not Gu.

135
00:11:00,050 --> 00:11:04,450
Find a hidden oasis, and ask not the matters of the world. The man farms and the woman weaves.

136
00:11:04,450 --> 00:11:06,960
Isn't that divine?

137
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:12,130
Fine. Anything is good.

138
00:11:12,870 --> 00:11:16,470
I only want to be with you.

139
00:11:22,750 --> 00:11:26,020
I need to go to the Marquis Manor to retrieve my late mother's items.

140
00:11:26,020 --> 00:11:28,620
We can't let news of it leak out.

141
00:11:28,620 --> 00:11:30,980
If not, the Marquis will never let me off.

142
00:11:30,980 --> 00:11:34,030
You and Nanny can start packing up.

143
00:11:34,030 --> 00:11:36,390
Wait for me to find a boat going to the south.

144
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,470
We will leave then.

145
00:11:45,860 --> 00:11:47,230
Let's go.

146
00:12:11,940 --> 00:12:15,060
There are still some clothes and shoes in the house which haven't been packed yet.

147
00:12:15,060 --> 00:12:17,210
Where are you going?

148
00:12:17,210 --> 00:12:18,920
Go and tidy up,

149
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,900
so the Young Master doesn't have to just sit and wait after his return.

150
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,250
<i>Candy for sale.</i>

151
00:12:28,250 --> 00:12:33,160
<i>Sweet and sour candy.</i>

152
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:39,420
<i>Mother, I want candy.</i>

153
00:12:40,010 --> 00:12:42,690
<i>Candy for sale.</i>

154
00:12:43,410 --> 00:12:45,730
<i>Candy for sale.</i>

155
00:12:45,730 --> 00:12:48,310
<i>Have some candy.</i>

156
00:12:48,310 --> 00:12:50,710
Rongjie, be good.

157
00:12:50,710 --> 00:12:52,690
After you have packed everything,

158
00:12:52,690 --> 00:12:55,300
I will buy candy for you.

159
00:12:55,300 --> 00:12:57,020
Come.

160
00:12:57,020 --> 00:12:59,250
Play with your younger brother in the courtyard.

161
00:12:59,250 --> 00:13:02,350
Be good. Go now.

162
00:13:11,250 --> 00:13:15,640
She's at minimum from a wretched upbringing, but her chores are done so untidily.

163
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,290
She's so superficial. I really wonder

164
00:13:18,290 --> 00:13:20,900
what he sees in her.

165
00:13:28,140 --> 00:13:30,390
<i>Have some candy.</i>

166
00:13:30,390 --> 00:13:33,030
<i>Many different kinds of candy.</i>

167
00:13:33,030 --> 00:13:36,680
<i>The candies that children love to eat.</i>

168
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:40,180
<i>Sweet candies, sour candies.</i>

169
00:13:40,180 --> 00:13:46,950
<i>It's even sweeter than honey.</i>

170
00:13:46,950 --> 00:13:49,040
<i>Candy for sale.</i>

171
00:13:50,170 --> 00:13:53,380
<i>Candy for sale.</i>

172
00:13:53,380 --> 00:13:57,500
<i>Candies that children love to eat.</i>

173
00:13:57,940 --> 00:13:59,650
<i>Rongjie.</i>

174
00:14:04,430 --> 00:14:06,290
<i>Rongjie.</i>

175
00:14:11,790 --> 00:14:13,520
Where's your older sister?

176
00:14:15,580 --> 00:14:18,710
You can't go out! The Young Master instructed that

177
00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:21,210
you can't show your face outside!

178
00:14:22,850 --> 00:14:25,290
Rongjie! Rongjie!

179
00:14:25,290 --> 00:14:27,720
Come back here!

180
00:14:27,720 --> 00:14:30,270
Don't run. Come back.

181
00:14:34,700 --> 00:14:37,350
Rongjie! Rongjie!

182
00:14:37,350 --> 00:14:38,950
Rongjie.

183
00:14:42,610 --> 00:14:46,100
Rongjie, where are you?

184
00:14:46,710 --> 00:14:49,140
Rongjie, where are you?

185
00:14:49,140 --> 00:14:51,080
Rongjie!

186
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:54,130
<i>Rongjie.</i>

187
00:15:08,410 --> 00:15:09,610
[ Marquis Manor ]

188
00:15:09,610 --> 00:15:12,840
<i>Rongjie, look.</i>

189
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,060
How powerful and dignified.

190
00:15:16,060 --> 00:15:18,410
Look. When you were born,

191
00:15:18,410 --> 00:15:21,800
you were a member of the family of the Marquis.

192
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,510
A house like that, one can't even imagine it for three lifetimes.

193
00:15:25,510 --> 00:15:27,390
<i>It's this woman.</i>

194
00:15:27,390 --> 00:15:31,180
The doorkeeper heard her saying "grandmother and grandfather".

195
00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:34,720
I found it suspicious, so I went to listen more closely,

196
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,320
before coming to report to you.

197
00:15:39,020 --> 00:15:43,060
In the future, after you enter the Marquis Manor, you will become a precious lady of the noble house.

198
00:15:43,060 --> 00:15:45,780
And at the time, your mother here

199
00:15:45,780 --> 00:15:48,590
will get herself a title of proper wife and lady too.

200
00:15:49,190 --> 00:15:52,440
Come, I will take you there.

201
00:16:03,810 --> 00:16:07,740
Go and retrieve what she dropped.

202
00:16:07,740 --> 00:16:09,270
Yes.

203
00:16:41,060 --> 00:16:42,410
<i>Mother!</i>

204
00:16:42,410 --> 00:16:44,330
<i>Release her!</i>

205
00:16:44,330 --> 00:16:46,110
- Mother.
- Let me go.

206
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,020
Son, Rongjie is missing.

207
00:16:58,020 --> 00:17:01,520
Manniang went after her. Both of them are gone!

208
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,530
I was about to lock the door and go look for them.

209
00:17:03,530 --> 00:17:07,360
Fortunately, you are back. Let's go and find them now.

210
00:17:08,820 --> 00:17:09,930
Where did they go? How long have they been gone?

211
00:17:09,930 --> 00:17:11,900
I think at least a<i> rice-cooking time.</i> (T/N around 30 to 45 minutes)

212
00:17:11,900 --> 00:17:14,110
A rice-cooking time.

213
00:17:14,110 --> 00:17:17,180
She came back, left again and didn't come back?

214
00:17:17,180 --> 00:17:19,660
She never came back. Is this retribution?

215
00:17:19,660 --> 00:17:22,700
Stop asking. Let's get people to look for them now!

216
00:17:22,700 --> 00:17:25,200
- No need.
- What's wrong?

217
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,730
Manniang is only a woman.

218
00:17:27,730 --> 00:17:32,030
She'd come back for reinforcements if she can't find the child after a couple of rounds.

219
00:17:32,030 --> 00:17:34,760
She still hasn't been seen for such a long time.

220
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:36,490
I believe she's been taken.

221
00:17:36,490 --> 00:17:42,460
Heavens! Who dares to just kidnap in broad daylight?

222
00:17:42,460 --> 00:17:46,630
I fear it's even scarier than that.

223
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:07,140
This child was born to you and that vile one?

224
00:18:07,140 --> 00:18:09,210
There's also a boy?

225
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:11,260
Yes.

226
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,540
Your Excellency, please don't be angry. It's my fault

227
00:18:22,540 --> 00:18:24,790
I seduced Second Master,

228
00:18:24,790 --> 00:18:27,960
but I'm sincere toward him.

229
00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:32,260
I'm begging you, on account of the children,

230
00:18:32,260 --> 00:18:34,370
please let us have a means to live.

231
00:18:34,370 --> 00:18:38,450
Means to live? What is that?

232
00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:44,270
I'm from a humble background and do not hope for any status.

233
00:18:44,270 --> 00:18:48,440
As long as I can be with Second Master and be a concubine,

234
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,420
see him every day and serve him,

235
00:18:51,420 --> 00:18:53,800
I will be fully content.

236
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,820
Dream on.

237
00:18:55,820 --> 00:18:58,420
What status does he have and what status do you have

238
00:18:58,420 --> 00:19:01,510
that you dare to even think of crossing into our Marquis Manor?

239
00:19:02,630 --> 00:19:06,850
Bringing you here already makes me feel you've dirtied up all the tiles in this house.

240
00:19:08,190 --> 00:19:15,610
Your Excellency, please don't be angry!

241
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:32,350
Kick her out and make her stay as far away as possible.

242
00:19:32,350 --> 00:19:34,770
Lord, Lord.

243
00:19:34,770 --> 00:19:37,730
What about the children? Didn't she just say that

244
00:19:37,730 --> 00:19:40,860
there is boy too? They are our flesh and blood of the Gu family.

245
00:19:40,860 --> 00:19:42,880
A whore gave birth to those children.

246
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,560
How could they be members of the Gu family?

247
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:48,470
How will we explain to Second Son?

248
00:19:48,470 --> 00:19:50,270
Have you seen a ghost?

249
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:55,010
I'm an elder. Do I still need to explain to him?

250
00:19:55,010 --> 00:19:57,750
Kick them out!

251
00:19:57,750 --> 00:20:00,350
Marquis! Marquis!

252
00:20:00,350 --> 00:20:03,690
<i>Let go of me.</i>

253
00:20:03,690 --> 00:20:06,230
- Rongjie!
- Tingye!

254
00:20:06,230 --> 00:20:08,740
Who dares to lay a finger on her!

255
00:20:13,830 --> 00:20:16,600
You still have the cheek to come back?

256
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,550
What are you trying to do?

257
00:20:19,390 --> 00:20:21,590
I will admit her into the family.

258
00:20:25,020 --> 00:20:26,680
One who sings for a living.

259
00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:28,980
She doesn't even qualify to hold your shoes for you.

260
00:20:28,980 --> 00:20:31,910
It's even more shameless for her to be your mistress and you want to accept her into your family?

261
00:20:31,910 --> 00:20:34,060
Who will want to marry you in the future?

262
00:20:34,060 --> 00:20:36,020
If no one wants to marry me, I won't marry.

263
00:20:36,020 --> 00:20:38,670
Father, wouldn't you be happier?

264
00:20:38,670 --> 00:20:41,980
You don't even care about your future,

265
00:20:41,980 --> 00:20:45,340
but you commit these acts that shame our clan?

266
00:20:45,340 --> 00:20:48,410
In your eyes, ever since I was born,

267
00:20:48,410 --> 00:20:50,540
I was already shameful to the clan.

268
00:20:50,540 --> 00:20:53,030
A bit more is no trouble.

269
00:20:53,030 --> 00:20:54,790
Second Son.

270
00:20:54,790 --> 00:20:56,960
Manniang, stop crying.

271
00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,120
Don't shed your tears here.

272
00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:02,780
<i>- Let's go.
- Stop there!</i>

273
00:21:02,780 --> 00:21:05,380
- Second Son.
- If you dare to step out from that door,

274
00:21:05,380 --> 00:21:07,300
I will beat you to death!

275
00:21:08,830 --> 00:21:10,480
Men!

276
00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,860
Lord. Lord.

277
00:21:20,510 --> 00:21:22,460
<i>Starting from today,</i>

278
00:21:22,460 --> 00:21:24,900
<i>I won't take any more of the Gu family's unjust beatings.</i>

279
00:21:29,570 --> 00:21:31,830
I have one more question.

280
00:21:31,830 --> 00:21:34,530
How did my mother, Lady Bai, die?

281
00:21:34,530 --> 00:21:37,060
What nonsense are you saying?

282
00:21:37,060 --> 00:21:40,250
Wasn't it the case that my mother saved your Gu House with her dowry?

283
00:21:40,250 --> 00:21:42,630
She was subsequently forced to death by you.

284
00:21:42,630 --> 00:21:43,990
Utter nonsense!

285
00:21:43,990 --> 00:21:47,560
My mother was tricked, that's why she married into the Gu family.

286
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:49,930
No one tricked her.

287
00:21:49,930 --> 00:21:52,980
My mother knew she was tricked,

288
00:21:52,980 --> 00:21:54,920
that's why she died from bleeding in childbirth.

289
00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:58,270
No one tricked her!

290
00:22:05,730 --> 00:22:10,410
Father, I will never believe what you say again.

291
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:13,340
Second Son!

292
00:22:19,270 --> 00:22:21,450
Who wagged their tongue at him?

293
00:22:24,180 --> 00:22:29,070
My heavens. When Second Son is furious, he's not afraid of deities and ghosts.

294
00:22:29,070 --> 00:22:31,280
He's so scary.

295
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:34,200
If Third Son didn't go out to drink,

296
00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:36,390
he would cry from fear.

297
00:22:38,620 --> 00:22:41,280
He's so mighty and tough.

298
00:22:42,790 --> 00:22:45,990
If he and I had been born by the same mother,

299
00:22:45,990 --> 00:22:49,600
I would be at ease to put all matters of this house into his hands.

300
00:22:50,950 --> 00:22:53,930
Pity fate isn't so kind.

301
00:22:53,930 --> 00:22:58,450
He had to be given birth by the whore that killed my mother.

302
00:22:59,100 --> 00:23:02,710
My Lord, don't worry about not having anyone to succeed the title.

303
00:23:02,710 --> 00:23:06,380
I've already looked into a nice girl for you.

304
00:23:06,380 --> 00:23:07,770
Forget it.

305
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:14,720
My body is like a reed in wind. Don't ruin another.

306
00:23:16,570 --> 00:23:21,340
I'm already so guilty that you had to marry me.

307
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,260
I have encumbered you.

308
00:23:24,260 --> 00:23:27,400
No. Being married to you

309
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:32,120
is the biggest blessing to me in my lifetime.

310
00:23:33,500 --> 00:23:35,580
I will listen to you, no matter what.

311
00:23:39,020 --> 00:23:41,620
It was tough to knock Old Second down.

312
00:23:41,620 --> 00:23:44,870
Let's not speak these deflating words.

313
00:23:46,110 --> 00:23:48,430
I have a good appetite today.

314
00:23:48,910 --> 00:23:51,120
Go and instruct the kitchen

315
00:23:51,530 --> 00:23:54,790
to add a couple more dishes to dinner.

316
00:24:10,330 --> 00:24:12,650
Minister Sheng, may you hold your step.

317
00:24:13,660 --> 00:24:17,490
His Majesty has ordered me to deliver words to you, to have you remain in the the palace.

318
00:24:17,950 --> 00:24:19,700
Lord, this way, please.

319
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,570
Interior Officer, do you know what this is about?

320
00:24:24,570 --> 00:24:26,810
I dare not ask about this.

321
00:25:29,530 --> 00:25:31,720
His Majesty has given instruction for you to wait here, Minister Sheng.

322
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,740
<i>You're not permitted to leave.</i>

323
00:25:49,170 --> 00:25:51,580
It's already near noon.

324
00:25:51,580 --> 00:25:54,020
Why isn't the Lord back yet?

325
00:25:54,020 --> 00:25:57,700
The Imperial court would have usually ended by this time.

326
00:25:58,450 --> 00:26:01,320
He must delayed on the way here.

327
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:05,150
Mother, look. New shoulder belt I got.

328
00:26:05,150 --> 00:26:10,210
The style is the newest in the capital. Is the color combination pretty?

329
00:26:12,330 --> 00:26:14,340
Flowers are about to bloom in the warm spring.

330
00:26:14,340 --> 00:26:18,950
Count of Yongchang's Madam Wu is about to put together a <i>jiju</i> match and <i>chuiwan</i> too. (T/N Ancient Chinese form of "golf")

331
00:26:18,950 --> 00:26:21,230
It'll be perfect to wear these then.

332
00:26:23,690 --> 00:26:27,580
You only care about amusement every day.

333
00:26:27,580 --> 00:26:31,830
It's time for you to marry and you are still like a child.

334
00:26:32,780 --> 00:26:36,450
Game matches and making acquaintances are also to ease getting marriage prospects.

335
00:26:36,450 --> 00:26:39,560
I lacked etiquette before Madam Wu last time.

336
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,000
This time, it'll be perfect for me to retrieve back the embarrassment.

337
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:48,870
You don't know how to play <i>jiju</i> and your <i>chuiwan</i> skills are just so-so, so stop your delusions.

338
00:26:50,860 --> 00:26:53,920
I have never cared about losing or winning.

339
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,710
What matters is for them to see my composure as the legitimate daughter.

340
00:26:58,870 --> 00:27:02,530
This won't do. It's almost lunch time

341
00:27:02,530 --> 00:27:05,140
and your father is still not back.

342
00:27:05,910 --> 00:27:08,310
If he's delayed and can't come home to eat,

343
00:27:08,310 --> 00:27:11,370
he should send someone to tell us.

344
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,060
It's not right. It feels not right.

345
00:28:15,790 --> 00:28:17,280
<i>Miss.</i>

346
00:28:20,890 --> 00:28:22,810
So how? Father's not back yet?

347
00:28:22,810 --> 00:28:28,140
Dongrong is back. He said he never saw His Lordship come out, so he could only come give us news.

348
00:28:28,140 --> 00:28:32,340
Weirui Balcony is in chaos already. Big Madam is trying to find out from all outlets.

349
00:28:32,340 --> 00:28:35,990
I hear he was summoned away by himself by the interior officer.

350
00:28:35,990 --> 00:28:38,180
Summoned away by an interior officer?

351
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:42,810
Can it be His Majesty's intention then? But Father is just a fifth-ranking minister.

352
00:28:42,810 --> 00:28:44,720
He's never be in attendance with His Majesty alone.

353
00:28:44,720 --> 00:28:47,870
If he were to be detained, they would've detained a few other peers.

354
00:28:47,870 --> 00:28:50,460
Father is alone there now.

355
00:28:50,460 --> 00:28:52,630
Something's not right.

356
00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:55,140
Then it's bad?

357
00:28:55,140 --> 00:28:58,540
Stop talking nonsense. This matter is not that simple.

358
00:28:58,540 --> 00:29:02,230
What's urgent now is to send people to go find out the reason.

359
00:29:02,230 --> 00:29:06,180
Big Madam says the same. She would send the whole family out to find out if she could.

360
00:29:06,180 --> 00:29:10,000
Second Young Master went to look for the Second Master of the Gu family too.

361
00:29:12,580 --> 00:29:14,920
You have no way either?

362
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,980
What's my status?

363
00:29:17,980 --> 00:29:23,020
A Gu House scar. Since I was little, at annual festival rewards

364
00:29:23,020 --> 00:29:26,200
when going to the palace to give thanks, eight or nine out of ten times I wasn't allowed to go.

365
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:27,780
I only fear... 

366
00:29:27,780 --> 00:29:29,610
Who else knows about this?

367
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,890
That fierce older brother of mine. His maternal family is Marquis of Dongchang.

368
00:29:35,890 --> 00:29:38,600
A distant relative of Her Highness the Empress.

369
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:39,940
He actually has opportunities to be in His Majesty's audience.

370
00:29:39,940 --> 00:29:41,790
That's right.

371
00:29:41,790 --> 00:29:43,550
Come back!

372
00:29:44,730 --> 00:29:47,660
Come back. What's the hurry?

373
00:29:47,660 --> 00:29:49,600
Come here. I want to talk to you.

374
00:29:50,670 --> 00:29:53,480
If you and I had no acquaintance whatsoever, he'd help you.

375
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:55,370
Now, I fear

376
00:29:55,370 --> 00:29:59,580
he will act like he's sincere but behind you, he'll stab you.

377
00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,880
Who else could it be?

378
00:30:07,230 --> 00:30:09,250
Could your father?

379
00:30:11,220 --> 00:30:13,260
Princess Pingning.

380
00:30:13,260 --> 00:30:17,170
She grew up in the palace and she's naturally closer.

381
00:30:17,170 --> 00:30:19,180
That's right.

382
00:30:19,180 --> 00:30:21,770
Okay, I'm leaving.

383
00:30:21,770 --> 00:30:24,330
No need to see me off.

384
00:30:25,550 --> 00:30:27,370
Be careful.

385
00:30:30,660 --> 00:30:32,260
You are still not leaving?

386
00:30:32,260 --> 00:30:35,430
Look at the time now and you are still thinking of me? Go now!

387
00:30:36,150 --> 00:30:37,570
I'm leaving.

388
00:30:39,430 --> 00:30:41,140
<i>Father.</i>

389
00:30:41,660 --> 00:30:43,430
<i>Father.</i>

390
00:30:43,430 --> 00:30:47,200
Coming. Rongjie, come here.

391
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,800
Your Uncle Sheng's father's in trouble and he's fretting.

392
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,080
If something were to happen to your father, would you be anxious?

393
00:30:59,290 --> 00:31:02,210
Father, don't let anything happen to you.

394
00:31:05,130 --> 00:31:07,870
I will finish the kite for you later.

395
00:31:07,870 --> 00:31:11,500
And you'll have me in your clench forever.

396
00:31:23,500 --> 00:31:25,100
<i>Danju.</i>

397
00:31:26,390 --> 00:31:29,940
What a coincidence. I came out to buy incense coils and I ran into you, Brother Buwei.

398
00:31:29,940 --> 00:31:33,190
What do you mean? I waited for you for a long time.

399
00:31:33,190 --> 00:31:34,550
What's wrong?

400
00:31:34,550 --> 00:31:38,050
It's about your master, of course. My young master heard Minister Sheng's incident.

401
00:31:38,050 --> 00:31:42,300
He feared Sixth Miss might fret, so he had me come out to tell you news.

402
00:31:49,130 --> 00:31:51,790
Grandmother. Grandmother!

403
00:31:51,790 --> 00:31:54,070
I heard that Father... 

404
00:31:54,070 --> 00:31:57,130
<i>Mother, help me!</i>

405
00:31:57,130 --> 00:32:01,370
The Minister is in trouble! The Sheng family is in trouble!

406
00:32:01,370 --> 00:32:04,710
Shut up. Stop talking nonsense.

407
00:32:04,710 --> 00:32:06,410
If there's anything, speak slowly.

408
00:32:06,410 --> 00:32:08,860
You said it was nothing earlier.

409
00:32:08,860 --> 00:32:12,720
You said maybe a peer or colleague invited His Lordship for wine.

410
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:17,020
But Changbai, he heard from Princess Pingjing's family,

411
00:32:17,020 --> 00:32:21,600
that His Majesty is angry and locked many in the palace.

412
00:32:22,470 --> 00:32:26,700
Tell me, if someone is locked up for ten days to half a month,

413
00:32:26,700 --> 00:32:28,920
wouldn't he starve to death?

414
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,870
Ridiculous. Even if he were a criminal,

415
00:32:31,870 --> 00:32:34,630
there's no reason to die from starvation too.

416
00:32:34,630 --> 00:32:38,240
Did the Princess say what the reason was?

417
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,310
She didn't.

418
00:32:44,140 --> 00:32:49,480
Don't worry. His Majesty is kind and magnanimous.

419
00:32:50,060 --> 00:32:53,650
There was no tea in the Imperial Garden and he didn't want the workers to be reprimanded.

420
00:32:53,650 --> 00:32:58,690
So he would rather keep quiet and bear it, and go have tea at the Empress' palace.

421
00:32:58,690 --> 00:33:02,800
A man like him would not carry out matters recklessly.

422
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:08,230
Also, since the founding of our dynasty, never was there a scholarly minister getting killed.

423
00:33:08,230 --> 00:33:09,800
What are you worried about?

424
00:33:09,800 --> 00:33:13,290
I haven't seen him. It's going to be dark soon!

425
00:33:13,290 --> 00:33:15,670
You are the mother of the family.

426
00:33:15,670 --> 00:33:20,270
Now with trouble pending, you must bring out your bearing as the Big Madam!

427
00:33:20,270 --> 00:33:23,300
What's the use of just crying in disarray?

428
00:33:23,830 --> 00:33:26,040
Since the Master isn't here,

429
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:27,720
even if there's trouble,

430
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:30,950
you have to be extra vigilant and watch the house tightly.

431
00:33:30,950 --> 00:33:34,200
Don't let some cat or dog sneak in.

432
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:38,650
Don't create any chaos here too and be mocked by others.

433
00:33:47,900 --> 00:33:50,390
It just shows she's not his real mother.

434
00:33:50,390 --> 00:33:52,850
There's that division there!

435
00:33:53,630 --> 00:33:58,590
If the Minister were her real son, with him gone so long, it would only be strange if she's not worried sick!

436
00:33:58,590 --> 00:34:02,650
Now she comes and reprimands me for having no forbearance instead?

437
00:34:02,650 --> 00:34:05,900
What a lousy way to be the main mother!

438
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:11,450
Don't be angry, Big Madam.

439
00:34:11,450 --> 00:34:15,390
Old Madam has seen a lot and she's not one to speak grandly.

440
00:34:15,390 --> 00:34:19,520
She says it's nothing, then she must have some measure of it.

441
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,260
Also, if something were to happen to Master,

442
00:34:22,260 --> 00:34:24,720
then that's a big calamity to the entire Sheng House.

443
00:34:24,720 --> 00:34:30,290
One loss is total loss, and Old Madam wouldn't gloat.

444
00:34:30,290 --> 00:34:34,250
That's true, but she's much too calm.

445
00:34:34,250 --> 00:34:36,230
And bringing in other stuff too.

446
00:34:36,230 --> 00:34:38,960
Saying I need to watch the door and the servants.

447
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,650
I don't need her to teach me.

448
00:34:40,650 --> 00:34:44,070
I've been the Big Madam for decades and I don't know how to manage the house?

449
00:34:44,070 --> 00:34:45,480
Also... 

450
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:54,960
Old Madam. She said I need to bring out the bearing of a Big Madam?

451
00:34:56,330 --> 00:35:00,880
That's right. The Lord is not at home.

452
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:03,670
I'm the head of the house.

453
00:35:03,670 --> 00:35:07,680
If Linqi Pavilion tries to do anything sly,

454
00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,480
and I discover it,

455
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:13,130
wouldn't that be a rare great chance for me

456
00:35:13,130 --> 00:35:15,700
to take care of that whore!

457
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:23,080
Is my brain fried by pork fat? How come it took me so long to think of this?

458
00:35:23,080 --> 00:35:28,360
Old Madam, she doesn't seem to mean this.

459
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:31,670
If she were to stay demure there's nothing I can do.

460
00:35:31,670 --> 00:35:34,780
But if she makes a stir from wind on grass,

461
00:35:34,780 --> 00:35:38,680
I will definitely bring out my bearing as Big Madam.

462
00:35:49,180 --> 00:35:51,910
Earlier, before Big Madam came in,

463
00:35:51,910 --> 00:35:54,460
what did you want to tell me?

464
00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,250
Nothing, it's nothing.

465
00:36:05,140 --> 00:36:09,030
Young Lord. He had someone bring news

466
00:36:09,030 --> 00:36:11,180
to tell me about Father.

467
00:36:11,180 --> 00:36:15,310
I thought you didn't know, so I came especially to deliver the news.

468
00:36:15,310 --> 00:36:17,760
He's thoughtful.

469
00:36:19,910 --> 00:36:24,380
Grandmother, I'm a bit scared.

470
00:36:24,380 --> 00:36:26,270
Don't be afraid.

471
00:36:27,550 --> 00:36:30,080
How did Young Lord find out?

472
00:36:30,990 --> 00:36:35,230
Naturally he heard it from his mother, Princess Pingning.

473
00:36:36,380 --> 00:36:39,620
He can bring the news to you,

474
00:36:39,620 --> 00:36:43,710
that proves it's not so dangerous after all.

475
00:36:43,710 --> 00:36:45,930
Your father is a

476
00:36:45,930 --> 00:36:48,790
minor minister who is prudent in conduct and speech.

477
00:36:48,790 --> 00:36:50,460
What mistake can he make?

478
00:36:50,460 --> 00:36:57,510
Even if there were minor mistakes, it'll be fine after His Majesty vents his anger a bit.

479
00:36:58,840 --> 00:37:01,670
I just fear nothing's happened on the front end,

480
00:37:02,450 --> 00:37:05,190
but the back end is on fire.

481
00:37:05,190 --> 00:37:07,800
I hope our family

482
00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,240
can get through this trouble safe and sound.

483
00:37:32,050 --> 00:37:36,120
Mistress, is Fourth Miss better?

484
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:41,160
She's young. When she encounters something like this, she will cry miserably.

485
00:37:41,960 --> 00:37:45,200
If I act like her, how would I survive?

486
00:37:46,140 --> 00:37:49,580
How is it? Did Landlord Xu sign?

487
00:37:49,580 --> 00:37:52,200
Landlord Xu says he must meet you in person,

488
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:55,840
and he'll sign and pay after meeting you.

489
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,500
What?

490
00:38:05,710 --> 00:38:09,490
How did you manage this? You take this stack of deeds and you can't find a buyer?

491
00:38:09,490 --> 00:38:14,190
It's precisely because it's so many shops and fields, and the merchants in the city all share news.

492
00:38:14,190 --> 00:38:16,920
I'm just an unfamiliar face and a second or third look,

493
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:19,910
and they'll know I'm not the owner.

494
00:38:19,910 --> 00:38:21,920
We only have Landlord Xu who is willing to discuss with me now.

495
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,880
And he insists on seeing the real badge, so he can confirm it wasn't stolen

496
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:27,010
before he's willing to stamp his fingerprint.

497
00:38:27,010 --> 00:38:30,910
Mistress, maybe we just forget it. The Master is a blessed man.

498
00:38:30,910 --> 00:38:32,880
Nothing may have happened even if he's locked up in the palace.

499
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:35,120
What do you know?

500
00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:39,330
My father back then, he also didn't come home one night and the second day after, he was jailed and then exiled!

501
00:38:39,330 --> 00:38:41,490
My mother and I were sold.

502
00:38:41,490 --> 00:38:44,220
It was only through favors that we got into Sheng House.

503
00:38:44,220 --> 00:38:48,590
This kind of incident must not happen again.

504
00:38:48,590 --> 00:38:51,430
Then... we just keep them with us for now?

505
00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:53,700
If something happens somehow, it's not too late to get away then?

506
00:38:53,700 --> 00:38:56,320
You've never seen what a raid looks like.

507
00:38:56,990 --> 00:39:01,120
These shops and these fields, they are all registered and accounted for.

508
00:39:01,120 --> 00:39:05,880
Even if you bury the deeds, they can still uncover them and confiscate.

509
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,670
We need to do it now.

510
00:39:07,670 --> 00:39:10,320
Now, we exchange them into unregistered money bonds.

511
00:39:10,320 --> 00:39:13,670
Keep them in hand, and that's how we can preserve it.

512
00:39:14,490 --> 00:39:17,910
Now, you go tell that Landlord Xu

513
00:39:17,910 --> 00:39:19,680
to prepare the money and the contract.

514
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:22,930
- As soon as I arrive, we sign and pay.
- Now?

515
00:39:22,930 --> 00:39:24,820
Go now.

516
00:39:24,820 --> 00:39:28,770
Go now. Go now!

517
00:40:18,270 --> 00:40:20,880
You are here. Come.

518
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:22,650
This way, please.

519
00:40:24,930 --> 00:40:26,790
Come, this way.

520
00:40:35,540 --> 00:40:37,960
Come, this way, please.

521
00:40:43,910 --> 00:40:47,400
Come, please sit.

522
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:54,200
This is my lady of the house.

523
00:40:54,200 --> 00:40:56,870
- Come, sit.
- No need.

524
00:40:56,870 --> 00:40:59,830
I hear you insist on seeing the badge before you sign.

525
00:40:59,830 --> 00:41:03,260
I'm here, so please sign.

526
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:07,820
How should I address you, Madam?

527
00:41:07,820 --> 00:41:10,290
Which house's noble lady are you?

528
00:41:10,290 --> 00:41:14,860
Landlord, I didn't ask your name and you needn't ask mine.

529
00:41:14,860 --> 00:41:17,500
I think the name on this house and land deed,

530
00:41:17,500 --> 00:41:19,810
It's best you don't mention it either.

531
00:41:19,810 --> 00:41:22,220
If you have no intention to sign,

532
00:41:22,220 --> 00:41:24,140
I'm leaving first.

533
00:41:24,140 --> 00:41:27,480
Hold your step, Madam.

534
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:29,470
Madam, don't be angry.

535
00:41:29,470 --> 00:41:31,620
I am paying with real gold and silver.

536
00:41:31,620 --> 00:41:35,530
If the deeds in your hands are clean, then it's great.

537
00:41:35,530 --> 00:41:37,310
I just worry if there's anything amiss.

538
00:41:37,310 --> 00:41:40,120
So may you let me know,

539
00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,580
so I can be put to ease.

540
00:41:42,580 --> 00:41:44,760
I'm paying quite straight-forwardly.

541
00:41:44,760 --> 00:41:47,020
If later on, there's more business . . .

542
00:41:47,020 --> 00:41:49,400
I'll lower the price another level.

543
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,580
Let you get a nice profit.

544
00:41:51,580 --> 00:41:54,650
If you agree, then say yes immediately.

545
00:41:54,650 --> 00:41:57,790
If not, I will turn around and leave.

546
00:41:57,790 --> 00:42:03,280
Let's do this. Two levels. Two, and I'll sign now. How about it?

547
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,910
What kind of person did you find? He's such a hassle!

548
00:42:06,910 --> 00:42:09,620
- He's taking advantage.
- Madam, Madam!

549
00:42:09,620 --> 00:42:11,450
- What are you doing?
- Come back, come!

550
00:42:11,450 --> 00:42:12,730
Let's talk again.

551
00:42:12,730 --> 00:42:15,700
Take your hands off me.

552
00:42:15,700 --> 00:42:18,410
- Open the door. Landlord Xu.
- Come, come!

553
00:42:18,410 --> 00:42:19,920
- What's there to talk about?
- Come here.

554
00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:22,080
Don't touch me!

555
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,930
- Come, let's have some tea.
- Mistress, Mistress!

556
00:42:26,080 --> 00:42:28,680
Who are you? What are you doing?

557
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,920
<i>Why are you capturing me?</i>

558
00:42:34,300 --> 00:42:37,420
<i>Let me go.</i>
