00:00:39,885 --> 00:00:42,600
(The Fall of Cui Xiongkai and Wang Chen)

4
00:00:48,559 --> 00:00:51,160
Who was sent to
secretly protect Wei Hao?

5
00:00:51,170 --> 00:00:52,880
Two teams of Iron Guards
were dispatched.

6
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:55,240
Good.

7
00:00:58,839 --> 00:01:00,239
You could also choose to kill me.

8
00:01:03,879 --> 00:01:06,760
But I have already
prepared several copies of those things.

9
00:01:07,679 --> 00:01:08,960
If anything happens to me,

10
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,760
those things will immediately appear

11
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:11,920
on His Majesty's desk.

12
00:01:12,730 --> 00:01:14,920
At that time, His Majesty
will know exactly what to do.

13
00:01:19,119 --> 00:01:20,560
Your influence is far too great.

14
00:01:20,960 --> 00:01:22,079
Every time trouble arises,

15
00:01:22,719 --> 00:01:25,399
the great clans have
people in court to back you up.

16
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:26,880
They impeach me whenever they please.

17
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,399
I need to have my own influence as well.

18
00:01:31,119 --> 00:01:32,759
(Since I cannot bring out)

19
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:34,359
(printing technology openly,)

20
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,520
(I will nurture talent
for this world instead.)

21
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:37,759
(Perhaps)

22
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,159
(future generations
will think of movable type.)

23
00:01:41,010 --> 00:01:42,880
(By then, it will have
nothing to do with me.)

24
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:46,520
About this first condition,

25
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,719
ten thousand guan per year

26
00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:50,599
is too much.

27
00:01:50,799 --> 00:01:51,359
Look,

28
00:01:51,599 --> 00:01:53,879
we are seven different clans here.

29
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:57,640
That would be
70,000 guan a year for you.

30
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:58,439
Can't you just...

31
00:01:58,439 --> 00:02:00,840
I've realized you all
are terrible at arithmetic.

32
00:02:00,879 --> 00:02:02,519
With my movable type,

33
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,280
if I don't earn
10,000 guan a month, I lose.

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,680
That's 120,000 guan a year.

35
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,280
And that is the bare minimum.

36
00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:10,319
We could

37
00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:11,959
earn 300,000 guan a year.

38
00:02:12,519 --> 00:02:15,120
The people of the Great Yong,
including your great clans,

39
00:02:15,380 --> 00:02:17,000
who wouldn't want to collect more books?

40
00:02:17,580 --> 00:02:19,439
Besides, are the great clans
really that poor?

41
00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:20,480
Ten thousand guan.

42
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:21,239
It's pocket change.

43
00:02:21,359 --> 00:02:22,480
It's hardly any money at all.

44
00:02:23,599 --> 00:02:23,959
This...

45
00:02:23,959 --> 00:02:24,959
You brat.

46
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,120
Our clan only makes
20,000 guan a year in revenue,

47
00:02:29,239 --> 00:02:31,280
and you want to take half of it?

48
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:31,799
Why...

49
00:02:31,799 --> 00:02:33,290
Why don't you just be the clan leader?

50
00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:34,239
I won't do it.

51
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:35,560
You can't just become

52
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:37,120
a clan leader whenever you want.

53
00:02:39,319 --> 00:02:42,000
Training 500 people is too many.

54
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:43,319
And every year, too?

55
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:44,280
How about this?

56
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:46,400
One hundred people every year.

57
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,159
Is that okay?

58
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:48,239
One hundred people?

59
00:02:48,319 --> 00:02:49,560
Don't even think about it.

60
00:02:49,570 --> 00:02:50,760
If I only have a hundred a year,

61
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,890
how many of them can
actually enter the court as officials?

62
00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:54,599
They wouldn't even
have a chance to serve

63
00:02:54,599 --> 00:02:55,639
before being bullied
to death by you lot.

64
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,719
You have those things in your hands,

65
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,520
so who will dare bully you now?

66
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:01,120
Exactly.

67
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,719
Who knows what will happen later?

68
00:03:02,719 --> 00:03:03,759
Wei Hao,

69
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,039
rest assured.

70
00:03:05,159 --> 00:03:07,560
From now on, we from the great clans

71
00:03:07,599 --> 00:03:09,120
will avoid you whenever we see you.

72
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:10,919
Yes, yes.

73
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,400
Exactly.

74
00:03:12,319 --> 00:03:13,120
But

75
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,280
five hundred people are just too many.

76
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:16,599
What about

77
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:18,400
two hundred?

78
00:03:18,479 --> 00:03:19,280
No way.

79
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,439
Three hundred people?

80
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:23,879
That's the final number.

81
00:03:23,879 --> 00:03:24,599
Three hundred?

82
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:29,719
Three hundred people,

83
00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:32,599
and each clan will make
a one-time payment

84
00:03:32,599 --> 00:03:33,639
of 10,000 guan.

85
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:36,759
Then,

86
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,360
can you sell the glazeware to us?

87
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,880
If you make
a one-time payment of 20,000 guan,

88
00:03:42,199 --> 00:03:43,599
I will let you sell it

89
00:03:43,780 --> 00:03:44,879
in your clans' territories.

90
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:47,360
The glazeware...

91
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:48,520
Then...

92
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,039
Father.

93
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:50,080
Father.

94
00:03:52,039 --> 00:03:52,840
It's a deal.

95
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:54,719
It's a deal, right?

96
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,319
Yes.

97
00:03:57,319 --> 00:03:58,000
Good.

98
00:03:58,599 --> 00:04:00,120
Twenty thousand it is.

99
00:04:01,319 --> 00:04:02,520
On the 22nd,

100
00:04:02,639 --> 00:04:05,719
deliver it to my engagement banquet.

101
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:09,639
It's just

102
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,879
that this deadline is a bit too tight.

103
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:12,639
We...

104
00:04:12,719 --> 00:04:14,639
We don't have that much ready cash.

105
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,360
That's your own problem.

106
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:17,960
Figure it out yourselves.

107
00:04:18,090 --> 00:04:20,000
You can't expect me
to keep backing down, right?

108
00:04:21,039 --> 00:04:21,840
Fine.

109
00:04:22,319 --> 00:04:23,439
We'll find a way.

110
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:24,680
Does that mean

111
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:25,639
the deal is done?

112
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:28,639
Let's eat.

113
00:04:45,759 --> 00:04:47,080
Give it a try.

114
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,199
I told you that we'd talk after eating.

115
00:04:51,199 --> 00:04:51,919
But you didn't listen.

116
00:04:51,919 --> 00:04:52,879
See? You've lost your appetite.

117
00:04:52,879 --> 00:04:54,360
(Wei Hao)

118
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,439
(is a talent,)

119
00:04:55,719 --> 00:04:56,800
(so we must win him over.)

120
00:04:57,280 --> 00:04:58,319
Wei Hao,

121
00:04:58,879 --> 00:05:01,040
you are a son
of the great clans, after all.

122
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,000
Don't lean too much
toward His Majesty's side.

123
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,480
Keep us in your heart as well.

124
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,399
Indeed.

125
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:09,959
I'm done eating.

126
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:13,160
I

127
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,319
don't care about your nonsense,

128
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:17,439
so don't worry about mine either.

129
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,959
Let's not interfere with each other.

130
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,240
If you provoke me again,

131
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:23,480
don't say I didn't warn you.

132
00:05:23,639 --> 00:05:24,199
We won't.

133
00:05:24,199 --> 00:05:24,839
I

134
00:05:25,079 --> 00:05:26,120
am not a patient man.

135
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,120
Just remember to come
to the engagement banquet.

136
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:32,360
Don't forget.

137
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:33,839
I'm off.

138
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:40,439
Don't let it go to waste.

139
00:05:41,079 --> 00:05:41,879
Finish it up!

140
00:05:47,937 --> 00:05:49,687
(Ganlu Palace)

141
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,160
Your Majesty,

142
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:52,639
we couldn't find out anything.

143
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,560
We saw Wei Hao go in with a chest

144
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,120
and come out with the same chest.

145
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,399
He looked very relaxed.

146
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:01,160
Couldn't hear a thing?

147
00:06:03,079 --> 00:06:05,879
That brat even cleared out all
the surrounding private rooms?

148
00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,439
That brat

149
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,240
is definitely hiding something from me.

150
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,800
Could it be that he really has
a trump card in his hand?

151
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:17,879
I have an idea.

152
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,120
From among our great clans,

153
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,240
we should choose
a woman to give to Wei Hao.

154
00:06:22,439 --> 00:06:23,600
I wonder if that would work.

155
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,519
You mean...

156
00:06:25,879 --> 00:06:27,279
To win Wei Hao over, of course.

157
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,839
We can't let him side
entirely with His Majesty.

158
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,800
He must lean toward our side.

159
00:06:33,879 --> 00:06:34,680
Gentlemen,

160
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,040
don't even think about it.

161
00:06:37,879 --> 00:06:39,920
Wei Hao is currently obsessed

162
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,240
and completely infatuated
with the Eldest Princess.

163
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,199
If you try to win him
over by sending women,

164
00:06:44,399 --> 00:06:45,199
it

165
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,240
won't just fail,

166
00:06:47,639 --> 00:06:49,079
but it'll also ruin everything.

167
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:50,560
Right now,

168
00:06:50,759 --> 00:06:53,000
the most important thing
is to keep him steady.

169
00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:55,879
Don't let him reveal
whatever is inside that chest.

170
00:06:55,879 --> 00:06:57,120
Don't worry

171
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:58,720
about anything else.

172
00:06:58,879 --> 00:07:00,120
It's not necessary.

173
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,360
What a blunder.

174
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,720
It's all because of these fools.

175
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:08,959
Knowing Wei Hao had such abilities,

176
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:10,879
you still went and provoked him.

177
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:13,360
Who could have known the fool

178
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:16,000
was capable of this?

179
00:07:16,319 --> 00:07:17,560
Indeed. How could a human

180
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,680
even invent those things?

181
00:07:20,639 --> 00:07:22,560
You ignorant fools.

182
00:07:22,639 --> 00:07:25,399
With what capability
did you dare provoke Wei Hao?

183
00:07:26,079 --> 00:07:26,639
Father...

184
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:30,519
Clan Leader,

185
00:07:31,279 --> 00:07:33,040
I didn't realize

186
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,639
it would lead to such a disaster.

187
00:07:35,639 --> 00:07:36,800
A mistake is a mistake.

188
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:38,519
Stop looking for excuses!

189
00:07:38,519 --> 00:07:40,280
In the centuries
of the great clans' history,

190
00:07:40,290 --> 00:07:42,360
when have we ever been so humiliated?

191
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,600
Wei Hao is a man of immense talent.

192
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,439
The great clans should have
approached him actively.

193
00:07:48,439 --> 00:07:49,560
But look at you lot,

194
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,439
you've blocked our path.

195
00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:54,959
If we don't punish you severely,

196
00:07:55,639 --> 00:07:58,199
how can we show
our sincerity to Wei Hao?

197
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,519
Without severe punishment,
how can I face all our clansmen?

198
00:08:02,879 --> 00:08:03,680
Clan Leader,

199
00:08:04,199 --> 00:08:05,319
I am willing to make amends.

200
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,079
I'll give up all my family property

201
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,639
to cover the deficit.

202
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,399
And what about the 300 scholars
to be trained each year?

203
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,160
I have decided.

204
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:20,360
Cui Xiongkai,

205
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:21,720
from this moment on,

206
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:25,120
you are no longer the Cui clan's
representative in the capital.

207
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:27,639
Hand over your
official seal immediately.

208
00:08:27,839 --> 00:08:29,160
Also, according to clan rules,

209
00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:30,639
your clan membership is revoked.

210
00:08:30,759 --> 00:08:33,680
You may never enter
the Cui clan ancestral hall again.

211
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:35,560
Clan Leader!

212
00:08:36,839 --> 00:08:37,439
Father,

213
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:39,959
I can't survive without the clan.

214
00:08:40,839 --> 00:08:42,439
I really know I was wrong!

215
00:08:43,759 --> 00:08:44,680
And you!

216
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,079
Get out of the Wang residence right now.

217
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:49,160
From now on,
regarding the Wang clan's assets,

218
00:08:49,319 --> 00:08:51,120
don't you dare touch a single fen!

219
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:55,920
Father.

220
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:57,720
Father.

221
00:08:59,199 --> 00:08:59,839
Father,

222
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:01,959
I really know I was wrong.

223
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:04,519
Please put in a good word
for me with Wei Hao.

224
00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:06,360
I'll never provoke him ever again.

225
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:07,959
Father!

226
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:15,279
Clan Leader,

227
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:16,440
from now on,

228
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:18,279
we will treat Wei Hao with respect.

229
00:09:18,279 --> 00:09:19,679
We will follow his every lead.

230
00:09:19,879 --> 00:09:21,639
Please don't kick me
out of the Wang clan.

231
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:27,360
Clan Leader Wei,

232
00:09:28,039 --> 00:09:29,879
please plead with Wei Hao for me.

233
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,519
I'll never provoke him again.

234
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,080
I told you all a long time ago,

235
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:35,279
but did you listen?

236
00:09:35,799 --> 00:09:36,600
Back then,

237
00:09:37,399 --> 00:09:41,039
you certainly didn't show
any respect to me.

238
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,960
If you had known this day would come,

239
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,519
why act so arrogantly
in the first place?

240
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:49,320
Back then, it was...

241
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:50,480
Enough talk.

242
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:51,840
The clan rules must be obeyed.

243
00:09:52,159 --> 00:09:53,399
No one can change

244
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,159
today's punishment.

245
00:09:55,399 --> 00:09:56,120
Someone,

246
00:09:56,279 --> 00:09:57,559
come drag these two away.

247
00:09:57,799 --> 00:09:59,639
Send them out of
the capital immediately.

248
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:01,679
Clan Leader,

249
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:02,759
don't drive me away.

250
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,679
I can't leave the Wang clan.

251
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:05,639
- Clan Leader.
- Father.

252
00:10:05,639 --> 00:10:06,679
- No.
- Father.

253
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:07,399
- Clan Leader.
- Father.

254
00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:08,240
Clan Leader.

255
00:10:08,799 --> 00:10:09,799
Clan Leader!

256
00:10:30,399 --> 00:10:31,200
Hao,

257
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:32,480
are you okay?

258
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:33,240
I'm fine.

259
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:34,039
Aunt,

260
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,080
are you ready for
the banquet on the 22nd?

261
00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:39,320
The renovations on the new
Marquis Mansion are finishing up,

262
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,400
so I have to go supervise.

263
00:10:40,410 --> 00:10:41,880
I still need to send out invitations.

264
00:10:44,159 --> 00:10:44,879
Right,

265
00:10:45,039 --> 00:10:46,919
we still have to hold
the banquet on the 22nd.

266
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:48,039
Are we still doing it?

267
00:10:48,039 --> 00:10:48,879
Of course.

268
00:10:48,879 --> 00:10:50,850
I've already made
arrangements with my parents-in-law.

269
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:52,000
Prepare well.

270
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,159
We might need more tables.

271
00:10:53,159 --> 00:10:54,780
Those great clan
leaders will be coming too.

272
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,399
What?

273
00:10:56,799 --> 00:10:58,200
The clan leaders are all coming?

274
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,159
You've settled it?

275
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:01,679
Of course.

276
00:11:01,680 --> 00:11:03,559
Is there anything
I can't handle once I step in?

277
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:04,759
How did you settle it?

278
00:11:06,039 --> 00:11:07,690
You wouldn't
understand even if I told you.

279
00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:10,000
Well, you know,

280
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,240
confidentiality is key.

281
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,679
If word gets leaked out,

282
00:11:12,679 --> 00:11:15,799
those clan leaders might feel offended,
and that would be troublesome.

283
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,000
Just focus on the preparations.

284
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:21,360
By the way,

285
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,919
don't tell anyone yet
about my parents-in-law coming.

286
00:11:25,210 --> 00:11:27,160
You have to keep
an eye on the kitchen yourself.

287
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,519
Don't let any untrustworthy people in.

288
00:11:30,279 --> 00:11:31,080
Don't worry.

289
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:33,080
I have plenty of people I can trust,

290
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,360
and they are
completely loyal to our family.

291
00:11:37,039 --> 00:11:37,559
Good.

292
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:43,120
Today,

293
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,519
were any new petitions
for impeachment delivered?

294
00:11:45,919 --> 00:11:47,080
Your Majesty,

295
00:11:47,159 --> 00:11:48,559
there were no new ones.

296
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:52,919
It seems

297
00:11:53,759 --> 00:11:56,519
the fool must have
settled the negotiations.

298
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:57,320
Well?

299
00:11:57,360 --> 00:11:58,720
Is the brat here yet?

300
00:11:59,159 --> 00:12:00,759
The Marquis has entered the palace,

301
00:12:00,759 --> 00:12:01,519
but

302
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:04,039
he went to see Her Highness.

303
00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:06,000
What's with this brat?

304
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,799
Instead of reporting to me,

305
00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:08,919
he goes to see the girl?

306
00:12:09,519 --> 00:12:10,399
Cheng Chuchi.

307
00:12:11,039 --> 00:12:11,950
I am here, Your Majesty.

308
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:13,919
Go tell the brat to come
to Ganlu Palace now.

309
00:12:14,279 --> 00:12:15,320
This brat...

310
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,720
It's like I don't even
exist to him anymore.

311
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Yes, Your Majesty.

312
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:29,759
Fool!

313
00:12:32,279 --> 00:12:32,960
Girl.

314
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:34,840
How did it go?

315
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:35,840
What did they say?

316
00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,360
Did they do anything to you?

317
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,080
Girl,

318
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:39,200
didn't you sleep well?

319
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:40,679
Your eyes are all bloodshot.

320
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,080
I just couldn't sleep.

321
00:12:43,279 --> 00:12:44,399
Tell me.

322
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:45,919
How did the talks go?

323
00:12:46,039 --> 00:12:47,480
You're just worrying for nothing.

324
00:12:47,490 --> 00:12:49,770
I told you it was fine,
but you still didn't believe me.

325
00:12:50,159 --> 00:12:51,120
Don't worry.

326
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,200
It's all settled.

327
00:12:53,159 --> 00:12:53,799
Right,

328
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:55,639
remember to come on the 22nd.

329
00:12:55,690 --> 00:12:57,000
I'm hosting an engagement banquet.

I can't pull it off without you.

331
00:12:59,080 --> 00:12:59,879
Really?

00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:01,639
