Lord Chen, you're here.

Miss Zhao is in the main hall.
5
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:35,150

I'll go find them.
15

there's something
19
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:10,780
I've been meaning to tell you.

I hope you'll bear witness.

why did you propose to me?
66
00:04:05,190 --> 00:04:06,080

Whenever my stepmother mistreated me,
86
00:04:59,550 --> 00:05:01,040
I would tell myself,

Okay.
97

Since you are willing,
98
00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:25,690
then we will

you won't tell anyone
103
00:05:34,630 --> 00:05:36,159

right?
106
00:05:44,430 --> 00:05:45,510
Since Wanxue

00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,500
has made her decision,
108
00:05:51,870 --> 00:05:53,670

Yes.
116

Third Master,
117
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:20,920
Should I send someone
118
00:06:21,070 --> 00:06:21,510
to
119
00:06:21,750 --> 00:06:23,120
investigate what happened?
120
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:23,720
No need.
121
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,270
I don't need those methods
122
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,410
when it comes to Jinzhao and me.
123
00:06:28,870 --> 00:06:30,270
She will tell me herself.
124
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:31,510
Yes.
125
00:06:44,870 --> 00:06:46,330
Okay, pass down the order.
126

127
00:06:54,190 --> 00:06:55,120
Why are you here?
128
00:06:56,430 --> 00:06:58,000
I went to the Ministry of Revenue
129
00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:58,600
and came by
130
00:06:58,750 --> 00:07:00,010
on my way to take a look.
131
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:01,680
I also stopped in
to offer my congratulations
132
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,610
to Third Miss on her new residence.
133
00:07:07,950 --> 00:07:08,680
Good timing.
134
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:10,330
I want to go back too.
135
00:07:11,270 --> 00:07:11,720
Okay.
136
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:13,360
Let's go home.
137
00:07:20,830 --> 00:07:22,560
I still need to go to
the Hall of Literary Profundity.
138
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,020
You go back and rest first.
139
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:26,240
Okay.
140
00:07:40,270 --> 00:07:42,400
I always thought of him as a gentleman,
141
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:45,310
yet I never expected him
142
00:07:45,310 --> 00:07:46,840
to say something like this.
143
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:48,510
My Lady,
144
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:50,320
do you think we should
145
00:07:50,630 --> 00:07:52,070
tell Third Master about this?
146
00:07:52,070 --> 00:07:53,070
I should tell him.
147
00:07:54,750 --> 00:07:56,430
But if it is made clear,
148
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,010
given Yanyun's temper,
149
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:00,950
the marriage between
Chen Xuanqing and Wanxue
150
00:08:00,950 --> 00:08:02,080
might be called off.
151
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:03,000
Yet Wanxue

00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:04,160
is determined
153
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:05,490
to marry Chen Xuanqing.
154
00:08:08,830 --> 00:08:09,270
Well,
155
00:08:10,190 --> 00:08:11,310
pass on my words—
156
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:13,050
without my permission,
157
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:14,930
even if I am not present,
158
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,480
Chen Xuanqing is not to be allowed
159
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,610
into our courtyard.
160
00:08:18,310 --> 00:08:19,600
You also need to pay more attention
161
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:20,860
and keep a close watch.
162
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:21,800
Whether it is
163
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,020
paying respects or having meals,
164
00:08:24,630 --> 00:08:26,390
as long as Chen Xuanqing is there,
165
00:08:26,390 --> 00:08:27,320
I won't go over.
166
00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:29,430
I'll try my best to avoid him.
167
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:30,680
Yes.
168
00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:32,720
Put the stir-fried bamboo shoots here.
169
00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:33,789
Old Madam likes this.
170
00:08:33,789 --> 00:08:34,320
Hurry up.
171
00:08:34,510 --> 00:08:35,390
-Yes.
-Yes.
172
00:08:36,789 --> 00:08:38,440
Check the kitchen
173
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:39,440
for any hot dishes
174
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:40,240
and bring them all out.
175
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:40,669
Yes.
176
00:08:42,669 --> 00:08:43,900
Be quick.
177
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,450
Arrange them properly.
178
00:08:48,510 --> 00:08:49,600
Xuanqing.
179
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,840
Have you been busy with your duties
180
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,040
at the office lately?
181
00:08:55,390 --> 00:08:56,190
Grandmother.
182
00:08:56,510 --> 00:08:57,440
These days,
183
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:58,030
the Hanlin Academy
184
00:08:58,030 --> 00:08:59,840
has been compiling
the Great Yan Code of Statutes,
185
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,510
so it's a bit busier than before.
186
00:09:01,510 --> 00:09:02,270
But it's fine.
187
00:09:02,270 --> 00:09:03,130
I can handle it.
188
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:05,120
Good.
189
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,120
The other day, Madam Yu
190
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:09,320
came by and mentioned
191
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,330
the marriage between you and Wanxue.
192
00:09:14,670 --> 00:09:15,360
Old Madam.
193
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:18,760
Our Madam
194
00:09:18,780 --> 00:09:20,270
may be a little tired from the day.

She's feeling a bit unwell right now,
196
00:09:22,270 --> 00:09:24,530
so she won't be coming to dinner tonight.
197
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,640
Since she's unwell,
198
00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:28,720
let her rest properly.
199
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,200
She doesn't need to come
pay her respects tomorrow either.

00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:32,670
Yes.

203
00:09:58,390 --> 00:10:00,740
Is it time to go to court?
204
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,440
There's still some time.
205
00:10:08,270 --> 00:10:09,800
You've been so busy lately.
206
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:11,030
Yes.
207
00:10:12,790 --> 00:10:14,790
The summer floods are approaching,
208
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,360
and riverworks must be prepared.

210
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,750

If that's the case,
212

you won't be getting much sleep each day.
213
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,200
In that case,

you might as well stay overnight
at the Hall of Literary Profundity
215
00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:33,350
and save yourself the time
of going back and forth.
216
00:10:45,510 --> 00:10:46,320
What's wrong?
217
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:52,010
You were fine just now.
218
00:10:52,670 --> 00:10:53,870
Why the long face?
219
00:10:54,510 --> 00:10:57,510
You want me to stay
at the Hall of Literary Profundity?
220
00:10:58,910 --> 00:11:00,340
Of course I don't.

I wish you

00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,750
so I naturally had someone
762
00:33:09,750 --> 00:33:11,210
look into her background.
763
00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:12,350
And once
764
00:33:12,750 --> 00:33:13,680
I looked into it,
765
00:33:13,790 --> 00:33:14,550
I found
766
00:33:14,550 --> 00:33:16,640
she was lending money outside at interest—
767
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,740
and at usurious rates.
768
00:33:19,110 --> 00:33:19,510
I found out...
769
00:33:19,510 --> 00:33:20,310
The Prince of Ning'an's residence
770
00:33:20,310 --> 00:33:22,240
owes Mrs. Wang a full 20,000 taels.
771
00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:23,960
That's the result of compound interest.
772
00:33:23,960 --> 00:33:25,690
Unable to repay,
773
00:33:25,830 --> 00:33:28,210
and with Mrs. Wang knowing
774
00:33:28,310 --> 00:33:30,240
they have pawned
the Imperial Pardon Certificate,
775
00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:31,750
they are forced to submit to her control.
776
00:33:31,750 --> 00:33:32,750
Coincidentally,
777
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,590
she also bears a grudge against me
778
00:33:34,590 --> 00:33:36,640
for exposing her involvement
in imperial tribute goods,
779
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,480
so she had the Prince frame
780
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:40,030
and retaliate against me.
781
00:33:40,030 --> 00:33:41,200
You are right, Madam.
782
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:42,270
This is exactly
783
00:33:42,590 --> 00:33:43,320
what I found.
784
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:46,110
As a court ennobled lady,
Mrs. Wang is already
785
00:33:46,110 --> 00:33:48,160
violating the law
by lending money outside.
786
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:49,560
To use usurious interest
787
00:33:49,590 --> 00:33:50,880
to threaten military nobility
788
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:52,240
is truly audacious.
789
00:33:53,510 --> 00:33:54,510
I can have someone
790
00:33:54,590 --> 00:33:55,850
impeach Wang Xuanfan.
791
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,800
How far can you go with it?
792
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:05,510
How far
793
00:34:05,510 --> 00:34:06,570
do you want me to go?
794
00:34:07,550 --> 00:34:09,000
If we can't
795
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:10,670
bring down Wang Xuanfan in one move,
796
00:34:10,670 --> 00:34:12,270
then there's no need to rush.
797
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:14,630
We can try my method
798
00:34:14,710 --> 00:34:15,400
first.
799
00:34:17,590 --> 00:34:18,320
What method?
800
00:34:19,440 --> 00:34:20,550
A woman's method.
801
00:34:21,590 --> 00:34:23,190
You're quite strong-willed.
802
00:34:23,190 --> 00:34:24,710
I've always been strong-willed.
803
00:34:24,710 --> 00:34:25,230
Qingpu.
804
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:35,679
Third Master.
805
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:37,120
I didn't expect
806
00:34:37,190 --> 00:34:38,590
Madam to get information
807
00:34:38,710 --> 00:34:39,590
this fast—
808
00:34:40,230 --> 00:34:41,330
and so thoroughly.
809
00:34:41,710 --> 00:34:42,590
It seems
810
00:34:42,590 --> 00:34:44,230
the people you placed in the capital
811
00:34:44,230 --> 00:34:45,360
are a waste of money.
812
00:34:46,230 --> 00:34:47,030
Third Master.
813
00:34:48,510 --> 00:34:50,440
About the 100,000 winter clothes
in the Ministry of War,
814
00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:51,940
we have a lead.
815
00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:55,670
The Armory Bureau did a spot check
816
00:34:55,670 --> 00:34:56,840
and found that half
of the 100,000 garments
817
00:34:56,840 --> 00:34:58,670
destined for the Nine Border Garrisons
818
00:34:58,670 --> 00:34:59,360
were filled with
819
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:00,980
moldy, black cotton.
820
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:03,070
But the contractor
821
00:35:03,070 --> 00:35:04,400
is the Dai family,
the maternal relatives of
822
00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:05,200
Mr. Fu's wife.
823
00:35:05,630 --> 00:35:06,900
So the Armory Bureau
824
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:08,110
neither dares to report the matter
825
00:35:08,110 --> 00:35:08,960
upward
826
00:35:09,360 --> 00:35:10,280
nor dares to actually
827
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,030
dispatch the garments
to Nine Border Garrisons.
828
00:35:12,030 --> 00:35:13,230
They are in a dilemma.
829
00:35:17,550 --> 00:35:18,110
Chen Yi.
830
00:35:19,030 --> 00:35:20,030
Pass this information
831
00:35:20,030 --> 00:35:21,000
to Qingpu.
832
00:35:21,920 --> 00:35:22,440
But
833
00:35:22,550 --> 00:35:23,950
do not say it came from me.
834
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:25,320
Yes.
835
00:35:29,510 --> 00:35:30,110
Mr. Jiang.
836
00:35:32,070 --> 00:35:33,400
What does the matter
of the winter garments
837
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:34,670
have to do with Madam?
838
00:35:36,840 --> 00:35:38,440
It has nothing to do with her.
839
00:35:38,630 --> 00:35:39,580
But if Madam
840
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:41,280
can solve this,
841
00:35:41,510 --> 00:35:42,350
it would be
842
00:35:42,440 --> 00:35:44,550
a favor to
the Senior Grand Secretary's wife.
843
00:35:44,550 --> 00:35:46,350
It's benefits would be endless.
844
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:48,050
Think about it.
845
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:49,190
The key is
846
00:35:49,590 --> 00:35:51,320
not to let Madam realize that
847
00:35:51,630 --> 00:35:54,090
Third Master instructed you
to pass this on.
848
00:35:54,390 --> 00:35:55,140
But, but...
849
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:56,230
why is that?
850
00:35:57,230 --> 00:35:58,150
You wouldn't understand
even if I explained it.
851
00:35:58,150 --> 00:35:59,410
Just do as you're told.
852
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:07,780
Ever since that incident,
853
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:10,360
people have been talking
about Linxia Restaurant—
854
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,140
saying it only caters to women,
855
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:13,110
and who knows
856
00:36:13,190 --> 00:36:15,320
what kind of filthy place it really is.
857
00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:18,730
That's why I said your idea was brilliant.
858
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,190
This batch of plain silk is quite fine.
859
00:36:20,190 --> 00:36:21,150
It's yours.
860
00:36:21,550 --> 00:36:22,550
Thank you, Madam.
861
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,540
This was an open scheme from the start.
862
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:28,320
I never expected Gu Jinzhao
863
00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:30,190
not to find out I was the one behind it.
864
00:36:30,190 --> 00:36:31,970
But even if she does, so what?
865
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,840
Can she scold me,
866
00:36:34,140 --> 00:36:35,330
hit me,
867
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,110
or bite me?
868
00:36:39,150 --> 00:36:40,880
With Chen Yanyun's influence,
869
00:36:41,360 --> 00:36:44,090
Linxia Restaurant
will eventually be unsealed.
870
00:36:45,030 --> 00:36:47,230
But simply lifting the seal is useless.
871
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,290
Its reputation is already ruined.
872
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:52,510
In the future, if she keeps claiming
873
00:36:52,510 --> 00:36:54,320
to serve only women,
874
00:36:54,550 --> 00:36:55,800
who would dare to go?
875
00:36:56,630 --> 00:36:57,800
Which husband
876
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:00,320
wouldn't fear that an actor
877
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:01,810
or a man is hiding there?
878
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,380
That is what it means
879
00:37:05,630 --> 00:37:07,760
to have grievances with nowhere to air
880
00:37:07,760 --> 00:37:09,820
and suffering with nowhere to speak.
881
00:37:12,550 --> 00:37:14,280
No one is wiser than you, Madam.
882
00:37:16,630 --> 00:37:17,630
Recently,
883
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:20,030
we lent out another twelve thousand taels.
884
00:37:20,030 --> 00:37:21,800
Our capital is getting a bit tight.
885
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:22,450
should we
886
00:37:22,550 --> 00:37:23,670
add more funds?
887
00:37:24,880 --> 00:37:26,410
We lent out that much again?
888
00:37:26,480 --> 00:37:27,710
Since last month,
889
00:37:28,070 --> 00:37:29,800
we've added a dozen more accounts.
890
00:37:29,800 --> 00:37:31,120
It's all
891
00:37:31,140 --> 00:37:32,340
one telling another,
892
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:33,480
and they just keep coming
893
00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:34,540
one after another.
894
00:37:35,230 --> 00:37:36,710
Although the court has managed
895
00:37:36,710 --> 00:37:38,710
to recover quite a bit of tax silver,
896
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:41,070
those destined to be poor
897
00:37:41,630 --> 00:37:43,000
are still poor.
898
00:37:45,030 --> 00:37:45,840
Then I'll give you
899
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:47,500
another five thousand taels.
900
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:51,920
Madam.
901
00:37:52,550 --> 00:37:54,550
An invitation from the Chen family.
902
00:37:58,630 --> 00:38:00,230
She's actually coming to us?
903
00:38:00,460 --> 00:38:01,920
[To Mrs. Wang.
From Gu Jinzhao of the Chen household]
904
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:04,280
[Meet at Baiwei Restaurant
at 8 a.m. tomorrow.]
905
00:38:05,150 --> 00:38:06,880
Why arrange to meet outside?
906
00:38:09,150 --> 00:38:10,380
This Gu Jinzhao
907
00:38:10,400 --> 00:38:11,860
really has a lot of tricks.
908
00:38:14,130 --> 00:38:16,810
[Baiwei Restaurant]
909
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:17,790
Why have you secretly arranged
910
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,230
to meet me here?
911
00:38:20,070 --> 00:38:21,670
I came to return your silver.
912
00:38:22,590 --> 00:38:23,280
What?
913
00:38:24,150 --> 00:38:25,290
What silver?
914
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:27,800
It's a few servants from my shop.
915
00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:29,150
Well,
916
00:38:29,630 --> 00:38:31,360
Linxia Restaurant was sealed,
917
00:38:31,510 --> 00:38:33,170
so I couldn't pay their wages.
918
00:38:33,590 --> 00:38:34,670
Their families
919
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:36,130
also had some troubles.
920
00:38:36,230 --> 00:38:37,190
Out of desperation,
921
00:38:37,190 --> 00:38:39,120
they had to borrow usurious loans.
922
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:40,320
Who would have thought
923
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:42,180
they ended up borrowing from you.
924
00:38:43,510 --> 00:38:44,710
I only just found out.
925
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:46,420
I said
926
00:38:46,510 --> 00:38:47,590
such loans should not
927
00:38:47,590 --> 00:38:48,820
be taken lightly.
928
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:50,760
It should be repaid immediately.
929
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:51,960
The total loan
930
00:38:51,430 --> 00:38:53,360
[IOU]
931
00:38:52,030 --> 00:38:53,190
is 13,000 taels.
932
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,000
The actual amount received
933
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,320
is 11,700 taels.
934
00:38:56,670 --> 00:38:57,880
The daily interest is three li.
935
00:38:57,880 --> 00:38:59,030
It was borrowed for seven days,
936
00:38:59,030 --> 00:39:00,690
but we'll calculate it as ten.
937
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:02,200
So the interest alone
938
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,570
comes to 390 taels.
939
00:39:04,030 --> 00:39:05,840
This is really a loan-shark debt.
940
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:06,880
If they can't repay,
941
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,740
they might even lose their lives.
942
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:10,960
It's best to return it to you at once.
943
00:39:11,060 --> 00:39:13,310
[IOU]
944
00:39:15,060 --> 00:39:17,410
[IOU]
945
00:39:18,110 --> 00:39:19,330
What loans?
946
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,460
What does it have to do with me?
947
00:39:22,070 --> 00:39:22,760
Is that so?
948
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:24,490
But I heard
949
00:39:24,630 --> 00:39:26,140
it was your personal maid
950
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:27,780
who's been lending money.
951
00:39:30,110 --> 00:39:30,980
Weren't you
952
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,180
acting on Mrs. Wang's orders?
953
00:39:34,150 --> 00:39:35,190
Of course not.
954
00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:37,400
You are so young.
955
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,200
How can you slander me like this?
956
00:39:39,510 --> 00:39:40,000
How could I
957
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,360
possibly do something like moneylending?
958
00:39:42,360 --> 00:39:43,490
I knew it.
959
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:44,910
Given your status,
960
00:39:45,070 --> 00:39:47,710
how could you dare
lend usurious money outside?
961
00:39:47,710 --> 00:39:49,170
That's a grave taboo.
962
00:39:50,070 --> 00:39:51,870
So this really isn't your money?
963
00:39:52,070 --> 00:39:53,000
Absolutely not.
964
00:39:56,880 --> 00:39:57,670
In that case,
965
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,220
I won't be repaying it.
966
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:00,920
Qingpu.
967
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:02,510
Pass down my words.
968
00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:05,030
If anyone comes to collect the debt,
969
00:40:05,030 --> 00:40:06,310
send them to me.
970
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:07,800
I will just
971
00:40:07,950 --> 00:40:09,880
take them to Shuntian Prefecture.
972
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:11,200
What does the Great Yan Law
973
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,310
say about this?
974
00:40:14,510 --> 00:40:16,630
Those who privately
lend at usurious interest
975
00:40:16,630 --> 00:40:18,160
shall receive 300 strokes.
976
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:19,440
Mrs. Wang,
977
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:20,970
we will take our leave then.
978
00:40:36,510 --> 00:40:37,230
Madam,
979
00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:38,800
I never expected that
980
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:40,200
the newly added accounts
981
00:40:40,230 --> 00:40:41,360
were deliberately arranged
982
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:42,490
by Madam Chen.
983
00:40:43,320 --> 00:40:45,440
I deserve to die. I deserve to die.
984
00:40:45,710 --> 00:40:48,250
[Baiwei Restaurant]
985
00:40:52,070 --> 00:40:52,590
My Lady,
986
00:40:53,150 --> 00:40:55,210
Mrs. Wang really refused to admit it.
987
00:40:55,440 --> 00:40:56,800
I never expected her to.
988
00:40:57,150 --> 00:40:57,880
I just wanted to
989
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:59,260
give her a warning—
990
00:40:59,710 --> 00:41:00,690
to let her know
991
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:02,090
I'm not so easy to bully.
992
00:41:03,710 --> 00:41:05,380
To bring down Mrs. Wang
993
00:41:05,590 --> 00:41:07,370
and revive Linxia Restaurant,
994
00:41:07,710 --> 00:41:08,910
I need another person
995
00:41:09,190 --> 00:41:10,000
to help me.
996
00:41:23,110 --> 00:41:24,110
Miss Qingpu.
997
00:41:26,230 --> 00:41:29,080
Why are you practicing your sword today?
998
00:41:30,280 --> 00:41:31,480
I practice every day.
999
00:41:37,110 --> 00:41:38,490
It is summer now,
1000
00:41:38,630 --> 00:41:39,760
yet it's quite cool.
1001
00:41:40,360 --> 00:41:40,800
Don't you feel
1002
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:41,840
that these past few years
1003
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,970
have been getting colder year by year?
1004
00:41:44,150 --> 00:41:45,080
If it's this cold
1005
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:46,280
in the capital,
1006
00:41:46,910 --> 00:41:47,350
it must
1007
00:41:47,590 --> 00:41:48,980
be even worse
1008
00:41:49,230 --> 00:41:50,690
at Nine Border Garrisons.
1009
00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,150
The winter clothes for the soldiers
1010
00:41:53,150 --> 00:41:54,280
must not be delayed.
1011
00:41:56,880 --> 00:41:57,760
Master Yao.
1012
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,160
My Lady, Yao is here!
1013
00:42:00,280 --> 00:42:00,760
Qingpu!
1014
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:02,590
My Lady.
1015
00:42:05,510 --> 00:42:06,070
Zhao.
1016
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:07,400
Yao.
1017
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:08,920
Why did you come
1018
00:42:08,940 --> 00:42:09,870
to see me so late?
1019
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:13,550
As soon as I arrived in the capital,
I came straight to your residence.
1020
00:42:13,550 --> 00:42:15,080
Does he treat you well?
1021
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:18,650
That's good.
1022
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:20,140
Have a seat.
1023
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:30,620
You mean out of 100,000 winter garments,
1024
00:42:31,030 --> 00:42:31,710
half
1025
00:42:31,710 --> 00:42:33,310
were made with moldy cotton?
1026
00:42:33,550 --> 00:42:34,070
Yes.
1027
00:42:34,840 --> 00:42:36,150
No way.
1028
00:42:36,890 --> 00:42:37,840
Back then, the Dai family
1029
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,150
relied on Madam Fu's influence
1030
00:42:39,150 --> 00:42:40,970
to forcibly win this bid.
1031
00:42:41,190 --> 00:42:41,710
Yet
1032
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:43,660
they made such a huge mistake.
1033
00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:44,960
I suppose these days,
1034
00:42:45,110 --> 00:42:45,590
Madam Fu
1035
00:42:45,590 --> 00:42:47,390
must have been deeply troubled.
1036
00:42:47,590 --> 00:42:48,630
That is why
1037
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:50,000
I have come to see you.
1038
00:43:03,540 --> 00:43:06,960
