00:07:49,870 --> 00:07:50,630
is called Niu.

192
00:07:51,670 --> 00:07:52,550
Her hairpin

193
00:07:53,190 --> 00:07:55,470
was located in the backyard

194
00:07:56,150 --> 00:07:57,030
of Marquis of Changxing's Mansion.

195
00:08:00,050 --> 00:08:00,850
According to our informant,

196
00:08:01,250 --> 00:08:02,010
her body

197
00:08:02,330 --> 00:08:03,650
is buried in the backyard.

198
00:08:04,210 --> 00:08:04,890
Is your informant reliable?

199
00:08:05,010 --> 00:08:06,450
We'll find out
once we investigate the area.

200
00:08:06,450 --> 00:08:06,810
Wait.

201
00:08:06,850 --> 00:08:07,410
Mr. Zhen.

202
00:08:07,450 --> 00:08:09,450
Do you still intend to stop me?

203
00:08:09,810 --> 00:08:10,930
Right now, all evidence is pointing

204
00:08:10,970 --> 00:08:12,330
to Marquis of Changxing's Mansion.

205
00:08:12,730 --> 00:08:13,690
I know it's difficult and risky

206
00:08:13,730 --> 00:08:14,490
to investigate this case.

207
00:08:14,530 --> 00:08:15,970
Mr. Zhen, that's why I need you

208
00:08:16,050 --> 00:08:17,130
to assist me.

209
00:08:17,770 --> 00:08:18,930
The court and the common people

210
00:08:19,330 --> 00:08:21,010
call you

211
00:08:21,050 --> 00:08:22,570
the role model of all civil officials.

212
00:08:23,010 --> 00:08:24,890
You fear no power
and remain upright and just.

213
00:08:24,970 --> 00:08:26,890
If you hesitate now,

214
00:08:27,450 --> 00:08:28,210
I'm afraid no one in the world

215
00:08:28,250 --> 00:08:29,690
will be daring enough
to take on this case.

216
00:08:29,890 --> 00:08:31,050
As long as this case remains unsolved,

217
00:08:31,290 --> 00:08:32,370
every lady in the country

218
00:08:32,450 --> 00:08:33,730
will continue to be at risk.

219
00:08:33,770 --> 00:08:35,250
Mr. Zhen, we have no time to waste.

220
00:08:35,370 --> 00:08:36,330
Mr. Yu, please calm down.

221
00:08:38,090 --> 00:08:39,090
I just have one question.

222
00:08:39,530 --> 00:08:40,050
Ask away.

223
00:08:40,690 --> 00:08:42,490
The Marquis of Changxing
holds military power.

224
00:08:42,810 --> 00:08:43,810
He's in charge
of the Imperial Guard Troops.

225
00:08:44,330 --> 00:08:45,250
He protected the country

226
00:08:45,290 --> 00:08:46,330
from Nanwu's invasion.

227
00:08:46,730 --> 00:08:48,650
Aren't you afraid of offending him?

228
00:08:48,690 --> 00:08:50,730
A prince who breaks the law
is as guilty as any commoner.

229
00:08:50,850 --> 00:08:51,770
Why should I fear that?

230
00:08:51,810 --> 00:08:52,410
Excellent.

231
00:08:52,810 --> 00:08:54,250
Commandant Yu, you're brave indeed.

232
00:08:54,490 --> 00:08:55,010
The Right Office

233
00:08:55,010 --> 00:08:56,090
finally acquired a worthy official.

234
00:08:56,810 --> 00:08:58,490
Come. We shall head there together.

235
00:09:25,770 --> 00:09:26,490
Miss?

236
00:09:27,850 --> 00:09:28,530
Miss?

237
00:09:31,050 --> 00:09:31,970
Is she dead?

238
00:09:35,690 --> 00:09:37,290
Miss?

239
00:09:37,610 --> 00:09:38,810
Stop hitting me.

240
00:09:39,650 --> 00:09:41,330
[Miss Chi]
I'll listen to you.

241
00:09:42,090 --> 00:09:42,890
Do you have the keys?

242
00:09:43,210 --> 00:09:43,610
Yes.

243
00:09:44,010 --> 00:09:45,410
Don't be afraid.

244
00:09:46,090 --> 00:09:47,090
We're here to rescue you.

245
00:09:48,490 --> 00:09:51,890
I'll listen to you.

246
00:09:59,810 --> 00:10:00,570
Fall in!

247
00:10:11,170 --> 00:10:12,650
Chief, everyone is here.

248
00:10:12,970 --> 00:10:13,690
Chief, let's depart.

249
00:10:29,050 --> 00:10:29,810
Let's depart!

250
00:10:30,010 --> 00:10:30,770
- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!

251
00:10:37,730 --> 00:10:38,410
Erniu!

252
00:10:40,890 --> 00:10:43,210
About the task I've assigned you...

253
00:10:43,330 --> 00:10:43,850
Your Lordship!

254
00:10:44,210 --> 00:10:45,410
Why have you not completed it

255
00:10:45,450 --> 00:10:45,970
by now?

256
00:10:46,010 --> 00:10:46,530
Your Lordship!

257
00:10:47,930 --> 00:10:48,530
Your Lordship,

258
00:10:49,050 --> 00:10:50,330
we received news
from the Capital Administration Office.

259
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:51,770
Yu Qi is bringing his team with him

260
00:10:51,810 --> 00:10:52,970
to investigate our mansion.

261
00:10:56,130 --> 00:10:56,850
What did you say?

262
00:10:57,850 --> 00:10:59,930
He wants to investigate my mansion?

263
00:11:00,810 --> 00:11:01,490
Has that fellow

264
00:11:01,490 --> 00:11:03,050
lost his mind?

265
00:11:03,890 --> 00:11:04,890
What does he intend to investigate?

266
00:11:05,410 --> 00:11:06,770
They said he was going to investigate

267
00:11:06,970 --> 00:11:08,010
the case of the missing ladies.

268
00:11:13,450 --> 00:11:14,450
You unfilial son.

269
00:11:17,650 --> 00:11:19,170
What have you done this time?

270
00:11:22,570 --> 00:11:23,370
Speak!

271
00:11:24,730 --> 00:11:27,930
He... He's a beast.

272
00:11:28,890 --> 00:11:29,530
Don't be afraid.

273
00:11:31,210 --> 00:11:33,330
In the past, life was tough.

274
00:11:34,130 --> 00:11:36,210
I thought since he was
the Marquis of Changxing's heir apparent,

275
00:11:37,170 --> 00:11:38,050
I could enjoy a luxurious life

276
00:11:38,330 --> 00:11:39,570
even if

277
00:11:39,850 --> 00:11:41,090
I didn't have a title.

278
00:11:42,170 --> 00:11:42,810
I should...

279
00:11:43,650 --> 00:11:45,010
I should never have

280
00:11:45,050 --> 00:11:46,490
followed him to his mansion.

281
00:11:46,570 --> 00:11:47,610
I should have jumped into a river...

282
00:11:47,610 --> 00:11:48,050
Lower your voice.

283
00:11:48,050 --> 00:11:48,930
Miss, lower your voice.

284
00:11:49,610 --> 00:11:50,770
And end it all.

285
00:11:51,890 --> 00:11:54,370
I didn't need to suffer like this.

286
00:11:54,530 --> 00:11:56,250
Miss, don't worry.

287
00:11:56,690 --> 00:11:57,690
I'll help you out.

288
00:11:58,130 --> 00:11:59,650
I'll help you escape
this wretched place.

289
00:12:00,930 --> 00:12:01,490
Really?

290
00:12:01,530 --> 00:12:02,450
My dear lady,

291
00:12:02,850 --> 00:12:03,810
I've already risked my life

292
00:12:04,050 --> 00:12:04,610
to take you

293
00:12:04,610 --> 00:12:05,530
to this place.

294
00:12:05,810 --> 00:12:06,890
There are guards everywhere.

295
00:12:07,130 --> 00:12:07,930
How can we rescue her?

296
00:12:08,570 --> 00:12:09,530
If they find us,

297
00:12:09,730 --> 00:12:11,050
both you and I will be dead!

298
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,670
[Marquis of Changxing's Mansion]

299
00:12:21,490 --> 00:12:22,970
You lots
from the Capital Administration Office

300
00:12:23,770 --> 00:12:25,050
are truly bold, huh?

301
00:12:26,010 --> 00:12:27,610
How dare you intrude on my mansion?

302
00:12:29,330 --> 00:12:30,570
I will certainly report you
to His Majesty

303
00:12:30,610 --> 00:12:32,210
for the crime
of overstepping your authority

304
00:12:32,410 --> 00:12:33,450
and abusing power.

305
00:12:34,010 --> 00:12:36,010
Your Lordship, please go ahead.

306
00:12:36,690 --> 00:12:38,290
Even if you do report me to His Majesty,

307
00:12:38,730 --> 00:12:40,810
I'm just fulfilling my duty
as per the law.

308
00:12:42,290 --> 00:12:44,010
I'm in charge
of the Imperial Guard Troops.

309
00:12:44,250 --> 00:12:45,650
I'm a first-rank official.

310
00:12:45,890 --> 00:12:47,530
I hold a first-class Marquis title.

311
00:12:48,210 --> 00:12:49,250
You're merely

312
00:12:49,250 --> 00:12:50,730
a fourth-rank civil official.

313
00:12:50,930 --> 00:12:52,170
Isn't it obvious
that you're overstepping

314
00:12:52,410 --> 00:12:53,330
your authority?

315
00:12:54,130 --> 00:12:55,210
The Capital Administration Office
is in charge of

316
00:12:55,210 --> 00:12:56,290
the public security of Ling'an City.

317
00:12:57,690 --> 00:12:59,250
Except for the imperial palace,

318
00:12:59,490 --> 00:13:00,770
the 14 streets and 108 neighborhoods
of Ling'an City

319
00:13:00,890 --> 00:13:01,930
are all under the jurisdiction

320
00:13:02,010 --> 00:13:03,810
and management
of the Capital Administration Office.

321
00:13:04,610 --> 00:13:05,130
Why?

322
00:13:06,090 --> 00:13:06,850
Your Lordship,

323
00:13:07,810 --> 00:13:08,770
is your mansion

324
00:13:09,610 --> 00:13:10,890
outside our jurisdiction?

325
00:13:11,890 --> 00:13:12,890
Mr. Zhen

326
00:13:12,930 --> 00:13:14,370
truly has a way with words.

327
00:13:14,970 --> 00:13:16,490
Why did you think I brought him here?

328
00:13:16,570 --> 00:13:17,130
Mr. Zhen,

329
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:18,730
you have a silver tongue indeed.

330
00:13:19,330 --> 00:13:20,810
You're quite the busybody.

331
00:13:21,810 --> 00:13:23,610
Even if my place
is under your jurisdiction,

332
00:13:24,210 --> 00:13:25,930
you're entering my private property

333
00:13:26,010 --> 00:13:27,330
without permission.

334
00:13:29,650 --> 00:13:31,850
Your Lordship, you really know
how to have it both ways.

335
00:13:32,690 --> 00:13:34,930
Just now, you said
you were a first-rank official.

336
00:13:35,050 --> 00:13:37,210
Now, you're saying
that this is a private property.

337
00:13:38,050 --> 00:13:40,050
If the Capital Administration Office
is here,

338
00:13:41,810 --> 00:13:42,930
it's because

339
00:13:42,970 --> 00:13:43,930
a murder has occurred here.

340
00:13:47,410 --> 00:13:48,970
This might just be my destiny.

341
00:13:49,610 --> 00:13:51,290
I don't want to implicate anyone else.

342
00:13:51,450 --> 00:13:52,210
Who said so?

343
00:13:52,650 --> 00:13:53,810
Don't tell me your destiny

344
00:13:53,930 --> 00:13:55,250
is to be tortured by that villain?

345
00:13:55,890 --> 00:13:57,450
Miss, listen to me.

346
00:13:57,890 --> 00:13:59,250
Today, the Capital Administration Office

347
00:13:59,330 --> 00:14:00,370
will search and investigate this place.

348
00:14:00,570 --> 00:14:02,130
By then, the entire
Marquis of Changxing's Mansion

349
00:14:02,290 --> 00:14:03,130
will put their focus

350
00:14:03,210 --> 00:14:04,130
on the backyard.

351
00:14:04,570 --> 00:14:06,250
Even if something happens here,

352
00:14:06,370 --> 00:14:07,650
no one will notice it.

353
00:14:08,370 --> 00:14:10,010
Fulu, take Miss Chi to the backdoor

354
00:14:10,170 --> 00:14:11,370
during the chaos.

355
00:14:11,850 --> 00:14:12,690
My maidservant, Aman,

356
00:14:12,730 --> 00:14:13,730
will meet you there.

357
00:14:15,090 --> 00:14:16,530
I... I can't do it.

358
00:14:17,170 --> 00:14:17,730
Fulu.

359
00:14:17,930 --> 00:14:18,490
Right now,

360
00:14:18,490 --> 00:14:19,450
all of us are in the same boat.

361
00:14:19,650 --> 00:14:20,810
You should also take a leap of faith.

362
00:14:20,930 --> 00:14:22,130
It's time to change the way you live

363
00:14:22,170 --> 00:14:23,370
and carve out a path for yourself.

364
00:14:25,650 --> 00:14:26,570
Miss, look.

365
00:14:27,970 --> 00:14:29,650
It'll turn into powder
once you crush it.

366
00:14:29,770 --> 00:14:30,770
It can put people to sleep.

367
00:14:31,090 --> 00:14:32,330
It'll be of use to you later.

368
00:14:32,450 --> 00:14:34,050
All right. We have to go.

369
00:14:34,530 --> 00:14:35,970
Or else, the guards will get suspicious.

370
00:14:36,370 --> 00:14:37,010
Miss.

371
00:14:37,770 --> 00:14:39,620
Are you sure the officers
from the Capital Administration Office

372
00:14:39,620 --> 00:14:40,050
will come here?

373
00:14:41,010 --> 00:14:41,570
They will.

374
00:14:43,530 --> 00:14:44,050
Miss.

375
00:14:44,850 --> 00:14:47,170
I have no way to repay your kindness.

376
00:14:47,330 --> 00:14:47,930
Remember this,

377
00:14:48,410 --> 00:14:50,130
Destiny helps those who help themselves,

378
00:14:50,610 --> 00:14:52,770
but abandons who abandon themselves.

379
00:14:53,450 --> 00:14:54,130
Understood?

380
00:14:57,690 --> 00:14:58,130
- Let's go.
- All right.

381
00:15:09,110 --> 00:15:09,750
Your Lordship.

382
00:15:11,110 --> 00:15:13,270
I've been investigating the cases

383
00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:15,270
of missing ladies in Ling'an City.

384
00:15:16,030 --> 00:15:17,630
According to my witness,

385
00:15:17,710 --> 00:15:19,270
all of them were
in contact with your son

386
00:15:19,350 --> 00:15:22,110
before they went missing.

387
00:15:23,390 --> 00:15:24,230
Witness?

388
00:15:25,310 --> 00:15:26,190
Who is it?

389
00:15:27,470 --> 00:15:28,190
Bring him here

390
00:15:28,390 --> 00:15:30,350
and let him confront me.

391
00:15:30,630 --> 00:15:32,110
Mr. Cao,
I never expected you to be here.

392
00:15:32,710 --> 00:15:34,590
What if I do bring him here?

393
00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:36,150
Mr. Cao, will you try to coerce him

394
00:15:36,270 --> 00:15:37,910
into submission with your power?

395
00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:40,990
You think you can malign me

396
00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:42,630
for committing murder

397
00:15:42,990 --> 00:15:44,069
with that unreliable intel of yours?

398
00:15:45,590 --> 00:15:48,069
Mr. Cao, I didn't say
that you committed murder.

399
00:15:50,830 --> 00:15:54,110
Mr. Cao, could it be
that you want to own up to your crime

400
00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:56,510
due to your guilty conscience?

401
00:15:56,830 --> 00:15:57,630
Ridiculous.

402
00:15:59,190 --> 00:16:00,190
Do you have any evidence?

403
00:16:00,750 --> 00:16:02,029
Don't think of stepping into my mansion

404
00:16:02,470 --> 00:16:04,630
without any evidence.

405
00:16:04,710 --> 00:16:05,640
Naturally,

406
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:07,990
we do.

407
00:16:11,030 --> 00:16:14,110
This copper hairpin is our evidence.

408
00:16:15,950 --> 00:16:17,070
The witness also said

409
00:16:17,470 --> 00:16:19,910
that you, Cao Xingyu,
are bloodthirsty, cruel,

410
00:16:19,990 --> 00:16:20,950
and had committed unpardonable sins.

411
00:16:21,150 --> 00:16:22,750
Not only did you torture
and murder numerous girls,

412
00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:24,270
but you also buried their bodies

413
00:16:24,750 --> 00:16:26,990
in the mansion's backyard.

414
00:16:27,350 --> 00:16:27,990
You...

415
00:16:31,990 --> 00:16:33,950
I'm an understanding person.

416
00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:37,150
Today, I'll let you search the place.

417
00:16:37,950 --> 00:16:39,150
But let me say this first.

418
00:16:39,550 --> 00:16:41,190
If you can't find any bodies,

419
00:16:42,390 --> 00:16:43,270
I will not

420
00:16:43,830 --> 00:16:46,070
let this slide.

421
00:16:47,350 --> 00:16:47,910
Please.

422
00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:50,230
Search the place!

423
00:16:51,750 --> 00:16:53,670
[Marquis of Changxing's Mansion]

424
00:17:09,590 --> 00:17:10,950
What's with
all the officers and soldiers?

425
00:17:11,510 --> 00:17:12,670
What happened?

426
00:17:39,230 --> 00:17:40,030
Mr. Zhen,

427
00:17:41,150 --> 00:17:42,270
won't you have some tea?

428
00:18:13,310 --> 00:18:14,390
Something's off.

429
00:18:15,830 --> 00:18:16,710
Cao Xingyu

430
00:18:16,950 --> 00:18:18,390
doesn't look flustered at all.

431
00:18:19,950 --> 00:18:22,110
Could it be that they had shifted
the bodies last night?

432
00:18:23,630 --> 00:18:24,270
Last night?

433
00:18:24,790 --> 00:18:25,550
What happened last night?

434
00:18:26,030 --> 00:18:26,630
Nothing.

435
00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:31,710
Sir! There's something at the bottom!

436
00:18:33,230 --> 00:18:33,670
Hurry!

437
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:49,670
I heard that your wife
was angry at you again.

438
00:18:50,110 --> 00:18:51,110
Yeah.

439
00:18:51,150 --> 00:18:52,550
I think you should buy her
some floral fabric

440
00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:53,910
after you get off work.

441
00:18:54,350 --> 00:18:55,050
That should make her happy.

442
00:18:55,050 --> 00:18:55,650
Great idea.

443
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,120
Sir, it's a coffin!

444
00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:36,360
Open the lid.

445
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:41,560
Folks, put your back into it!

446
00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,040
Sir, inside the coffin, there's...

447
00:19:57,560 --> 00:19:58,000
Chief,

448
00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:59,320
there are only books inside.

449
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,160
Mr. Zhen, Mr. Yu,

450
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:03,840
that's just the spot where I bury

451
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,320
the unwanted items from my study.

452
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,960
How could there be any bodies?

453
00:20:08,480 --> 00:20:09,560
Please don't frame

454
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,040
an innocent man like me.

455
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:17,680
It seems our lead was incorrect.

456
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:18,880
I'm sorry to have offended you.

457
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:20,880
Mr. Zhen, it's fine.

458
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:23,160
I'm a magnanimous person.

459
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,840
I won't hold it against you.

460
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,080
He's letting us off too easily.

461
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:35,280
Something's definitely off.

462
00:20:35,360 --> 00:20:37,840
I'm sure the bodies
are still inside the mansion.

463
00:20:40,880 --> 00:20:42,360
Of course, I know that.

464
00:20:42,600 --> 00:20:44,200
But we need evidence
for every action we take.

465
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:46,280
We've already searched the place.

466
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:47,520
If we stir up trouble again,

467
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:49,120
and if he does report us to His Majesty,

468
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:50,200
both of us will be violating the law.

469
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:53,080
Enough now.
Let's head back for today.

470
00:20:53,360 --> 00:20:54,040
We have to plan this out properly.

471
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:54,960
Plan this out properly?

472
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:56,800
If we leave right now,

473
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:58,000
we won't get a second chance.

474
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:00,440
I don't care if we're violating the law.

475
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:01,400
I'll bear the responsibility.

476
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:03,400
Long Dan, continue the search!

477
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:04,120
Yes, sir!

478
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:05,680
Erniu.

479
00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:15,640
Mr. Zhen, you better
don't get ahead of yourself.

480
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,080
Do you think
you can do whatever you want

481
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:18,400
at my mansion?

482
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:19,920
Someone! See them out!

483
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:21,840
Do not obstruct us
from fulfilling our public duty!

484
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:22,440
Yu Qi!

485
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:24,360
You better don't be
too full of yourself!

486
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:25,200
Your Lordship,

487
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,120
if Mr. Cao is truly innocent,

488
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,360
I'm sure you don't need
to fear a dog, right?

489
00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:31,720
What a joke.

490
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,680
Why would I be afraid of a dog?

491
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:34,480
Release the hound!

492
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:37,120
After it!

493
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:40,920
Why are you all still standing there?

494
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:41,640
Stop them!

495
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:00,480
Xingyu!

496
00:22:02,360 --> 00:22:02,840
Yu Qi.

497
00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:04,160
Don't do anything silly.

498
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:20,920
Remove it!

499
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:21,520
Yes, sir!

500
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:27,960
Keep an eye on it.

501
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:28,520
- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

502
00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:31,280
Chief!

503
00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:33,440
Chief, we found the bodies.

504
00:22:55,120 --> 00:22:55,720
Dead bodies!

505
00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:56,560
Those are dead bodies!

506
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:58,120
The bodies match the victims' profiles.

507
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,760
Take the criminal, Cao Xingyu, back

508
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,560
to the Capital Administration Office.

509
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:03,040
Yes, sir.

510
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:03,720
Wait!

511
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:06,000
I didn't murder them.

512
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,160
It's him.

513
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:10,320
Come out.

514
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:11,560
Come out.

515
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,280
Anzi!

516
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:18,520
Come out!

517
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:22,880
Does he think

518
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:25,160
that we're fools?

519
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:27,600
You're using a servant
as your scapegoat now?

520
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,360
What gives you the right to say

521
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:30,760
that I was the one who murdered them?

522
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:33,480
You're saying that

523
00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,120
based on your unreliable intel?

524
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,000
Let me ask you this.

525
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:41,160
What's your name?

526
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:43,560
My name is Anzi.

527
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:45,720
Your master said

528
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:48,800
you murdered all these people.

529
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:51,880
I...

530
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:55,360
You should just confess.

531
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,920
Our family has treated you very well.

532
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,280
We got you a wife.

533
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:02,800
You even got yourself a descendant.

534
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:04,440
Cao Xingyu.

535
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:07,960
Do not try to threaten him.

536
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:11,560
Anzi, don't be scared.

537
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,360
Tell us everything.

538
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:16,360
This case involves many people.

539
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:17,880
I can report this
to His Majesty personally.

540
00:24:19,360 --> 00:24:21,040
Regardless of their rank,

541
00:24:21,780 --> 00:24:23,580
they wouldn't dare harm your family.

542
00:24:24,060 --> 00:24:24,780
Trust me.

543
00:24:29,180 --> 00:24:31,500
Anzi, raise your head.

544
00:24:33,140 --> 00:24:35,020
All three generations of your family

545
00:24:35,860 --> 00:24:37,780
have served as the mansion's servants.

546
00:24:39,020 --> 00:24:40,180
I'm sure you know my character

547
00:24:41,060 --> 00:24:41,660
and the things

548
00:24:41,700 --> 00:24:42,660
I'm capable of.

549
00:24:42,900 --> 00:24:44,700
If you did commit these crimes,

550
00:24:45,420 --> 00:24:46,620
I can guarantee that your family

551
00:24:46,940 --> 00:24:48,340
won't be implicated,

552
00:24:49,260 --> 00:24:49,740
understood?

553
00:24:58,740 --> 00:24:59,340
Yes.

554
00:25:00,740 --> 00:25:01,660
I murdered them.

555
00:25:03,220 --> 00:25:04,580
I murdered all of them.

556
00:25:06,060 --> 00:25:07,220
You have to think this through.

557
00:25:08,300 --> 00:25:09,980
If you admit to it now,

558
00:25:10,020 --> 00:25:11,380
it won't be that easy

559
00:25:11,420 --> 00:25:12,540
to overturn your statement afterward.

560
00:25:13,780 --> 00:25:15,140
I'm the murderer.

561
00:25:17,260 --> 00:25:18,500
I was bewitched by my lust

562
00:25:18,580 --> 00:25:19,380
for young and beautiful ladies.

563
00:25:19,540 --> 00:25:20,180
I murdered

564
00:25:20,220 --> 00:25:21,460
all of those girls.

565
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:24,500
I threw all of their bodies
into the abandoned well.

566
00:25:24,860 --> 00:25:28,700
It has nothing to do
with Mr. Cao at all.

567
00:25:34,900 --> 00:25:35,460
Your Lordship!

568
00:25:35,860 --> 00:25:37,380
Please treat my family well!

569
00:25:37,620 --> 00:25:38,140
Your Lordship!

570
00:25:38,580 --> 00:25:40,180
I'm very relieved that you're willing

571
00:25:40,900 --> 00:25:42,220
to confess your crime
and submit yourself to the law.

572
00:25:42,820 --> 00:25:43,340
Don't worry.

573
00:25:44,060 --> 00:25:46,060
I'll definitely treat your family well.

574
00:25:52,540 --> 00:25:53,300
Marquis of Changxing!

575
00:25:53,620 --> 00:25:55,020
How dare you silence him in public?

576
00:25:55,660 --> 00:25:56,940
You have no regard for the law at all!

577
00:25:57,340 --> 00:25:59,700
I have always managed my household
as I would command an army.

578
00:26:00,540 --> 00:26:01,660
Now, there's an evil servant
in the household

579
00:26:01,700 --> 00:26:03,460
who has gone totally depraved.

580
00:26:03,660 --> 00:26:05,260
He has ruined the reputation
of my household.

581
00:26:05,700 --> 00:26:06,940
Therefore, I ended his life on behalf

582
00:26:07,060 --> 00:26:07,860
of the Capital Administration Office.

583
00:26:08,020 --> 00:26:08,580
Isn't that better?

584
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:11,100
Now, you won't need to go through
the trouble of putting him on trial.

585
00:26:11,300 --> 00:26:12,260
According to the law of Zhou,

586
00:26:13,900 --> 00:26:15,380
killing one's servant
is a crime as well.

587
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:16,300
Mr. Zhen.

588
00:26:18,260 --> 00:26:19,100
Don't think

589
00:26:19,140 --> 00:26:20,620
that you're the only one
who's well-versed with the law here.

590
00:26:21,500 --> 00:26:23,660
Indeed. Killing a servant
without any reason is a crime.

591
00:26:24,020 --> 00:26:25,500
But he has committed a capital offense.

592
00:26:25,860 --> 00:26:27,300
Has my father done anything wrong
for killing him?

593
00:26:27,340 --> 00:26:28,660
Even if he did commit a capital offense,

594
00:26:29,540 --> 00:26:31,140
his deeds should be reported
to the local authorities first.

595
00:26:31,500 --> 00:26:33,180
He should only be dealt with
after permission is granted.

596
00:26:33,220 --> 00:26:34,380
He was just a servant.

597
00:26:34,380 --> 00:26:35,740
So what if I killed him?

598
00:26:36,380 --> 00:26:37,220
Do you think I need permission

599
00:26:37,260 --> 00:26:38,700
from the Capital Administration Office?

600
00:26:39,180 --> 00:26:40,380
If you didn't seek
the local authorities' permission,

601
00:26:40,860 --> 00:26:42,020
that means you've broken the law.

602
00:26:42,220 --> 00:26:43,060
According to the law of Zhou,

603
00:26:43,100 --> 00:26:44,360
one who kills their servant
without permission

604
00:26:44,360 --> 00:26:45,060
from the local authorities

605
00:26:46,660 --> 00:26:47,820
shall be flogged 100 times.

606
00:26:52,740 --> 00:26:54,500
What, Mr. Zhen?

607
00:26:55,060 --> 00:26:57,500
Do you intend to flog me?

608
00:26:58,380 --> 00:26:59,140
Would you really dare?

609
00:26:59,540 --> 00:26:59,980
You!

610
00:27:00,300 --> 00:27:00,820
I!

611
00:27:04,620 --> 00:27:06,180
Sorry for the intrusion.

612
00:27:06,860 --> 00:27:08,620
You may leave now, Your Lordship.

613
00:27:10,740 --> 00:27:12,260
You can see yourselves out.

614
00:27:13,220 --> 00:27:15,100
I have military affairs to attend to.

615
00:27:15,300 --> 00:27:16,420
I don't have time

616
00:27:16,460 --> 00:27:18,060
to waste on you all.

617
00:27:34,620 --> 00:27:35,380
What are you staring at?

618
00:27:35,940 --> 00:27:36,580
Return to your rooms!

619
00:27:39,020 --> 00:27:40,420
Why did you stop me?

620
00:27:40,900 --> 00:27:42,100
Are we letting them leave
just like that?

621
00:27:42,260 --> 00:27:43,260
Our goal today

622
00:27:43,340 --> 00:27:45,340
isn't to press charges against Cao Yong
for killing his servant.

623
00:27:45,540 --> 00:27:47,140
Our goal is to locate these bodies.

624
00:27:47,300 --> 00:27:47,900
Now, all of the bodies

625
00:27:47,900 --> 00:27:48,740
are here.

626
00:27:48,900 --> 00:27:49,860
Not a single one is missing.

627
00:27:50,460 --> 00:27:52,060
The evidence is gone, and there is
no one left to testify, Commandant Yu.

628
00:27:52,100 --> 00:27:53,740
I won't let that happen.

629
00:27:56,260 --> 00:27:57,580
Did someone affect you?

630
00:27:57,620 --> 00:27:58,500
What's with

631
00:27:58,500 --> 00:27:59,580
the hasty temper now?

632
00:28:00,580 --> 00:28:01,540
You're still too young.

633
00:28:02,380 --> 00:28:02,940
Wait...

634
00:28:02,980 --> 00:28:04,060
What has this got to do

635
00:28:04,700 --> 00:28:05,900
with being young?

636
00:28:11,650 --> 00:28:12,690
The servant

637
00:28:13,370 --> 00:28:14,770
didn't murder all those ladies.

638
00:28:15,290 --> 00:28:16,610
He wouldn't have the nerve.

639
00:28:16,930 --> 00:28:17,810
It was Qian.

640
00:28:18,530 --> 00:28:20,170
No, it was Cao Xingyu.

641
00:28:20,530 --> 00:28:21,770
Pei, seems like
you're not as dumb as I thought.

642
00:28:21,850 --> 00:28:22,890
So you knew all along?

643
00:28:23,570 --> 00:28:24,570
Why didn't you warn me, then?

644
00:28:24,770 --> 00:28:25,690
How could I warn you?

645
00:28:25,850 --> 00:28:26,850
You were so infatuated

646
00:28:26,850 --> 00:28:27,930
with that brother-in-law of yours.

647
00:28:28,130 --> 00:28:29,450
Would you even heed my advice?

648
00:28:29,930 --> 00:28:31,170
Cao Xingyu is so cruel.

649
00:28:31,290 --> 00:28:32,330
He has murdered so many people.

650
00:28:33,650 --> 00:28:35,210
Does Qian know about this?

651
00:28:35,730 --> 00:28:36,930
So Qian knows about this?

652
00:28:37,450 --> 00:28:38,050
If so, how could she

653
00:28:38,050 --> 00:28:39,090
invite us to that mansion?

654
00:28:39,370 --> 00:28:40,730
How could she treat me like this?

655
00:28:41,090 --> 00:28:41,530
Although we don't share

656
00:28:41,530 --> 00:28:42,370
the same mother,

657
00:28:42,650 --> 00:28:43,890
I'm the closest to her.

658
00:28:46,850 --> 00:28:47,930
Who said you could let Jiang Si go?

659
00:28:53,730 --> 00:28:55,250
They've seen all those dead bodies.

660
00:28:56,690 --> 00:28:58,050
They're so afraid

661
00:28:58,090 --> 00:28:59,290
that they requested
the Capital Administration Office

662
00:29:00,170 --> 00:29:01,850
to escort them out of the mansion.

663
00:29:03,610 --> 00:29:05,970
Do you expect me to stop them?

664
00:29:06,730 --> 00:29:09,130
You wretch,
how dare you talk back to me?

665
00:29:10,050 --> 00:29:11,010
How dare you talk back to me?

666
00:29:11,250 --> 00:29:12,770
If it weren't for the fact

667
00:29:13,250 --> 00:29:14,170
that my mother was
pleased with you usually,

668
00:29:14,530 --> 00:29:15,250
I would have murdered you

669
00:29:15,330 --> 00:29:16,090
together

670
00:29:16,330 --> 00:29:16,890
with all those wretches!

671
00:29:16,970 --> 00:29:18,050
You wretch! You wretch!

672
00:29:18,410 --> 00:29:18,930
Mr. Cao.

673
00:29:19,730 --> 00:29:20,450
Mr. Cao.

674
00:29:21,090 --> 00:29:22,250
Please spare her
on account of Old Madam.

675
00:29:22,570 --> 00:29:23,250
Scram!

676
00:29:26,530 --> 00:29:28,210
Go ahead! Why don't you kill me?

677
00:29:29,050 --> 00:29:30,890
What else are you bold enough to do

678
00:29:31,130 --> 00:29:32,770
aside from hitting and killing women?

679
00:29:33,570 --> 00:29:35,730
Your father beat you up.
That's why you beat me up.

680
00:29:36,130 --> 00:29:36,970
If you're that bold,

681
00:29:37,010 --> 00:29:37,810
how come you don't dare

682
00:29:37,850 --> 00:29:39,490
to go against him even once?

683
00:29:49,370 --> 00:29:51,290
You're just a wretch
who comes from a humble background.

684
00:29:51,890 --> 00:29:53,330
How dare you look down on me?

685
00:29:54,010 --> 00:29:56,250
What happened to that enthusiasm
you had back then,

686
00:29:56,610 --> 00:29:58,130
when you insisted on marrying me
on your cousin's behalf?

687
00:30:00,010 --> 00:30:01,170
You ended up like this

688
00:30:02,410 --> 00:30:03,970
because you brought this upon yourself.

689
00:30:14,650 --> 00:30:15,290
That's right.

690
00:30:16,530 --> 00:30:17,530
I brought this upon myself.

691
00:30:18,410 --> 00:30:19,330
I deserve this.

692
00:30:20,250 --> 00:30:21,730
Just beat me to death!

693
00:30:23,290 --> 00:30:24,610
This way,
the Capital Administration Office

694
00:30:24,690 --> 00:30:25,610
can charge you with another murder.

695
00:30:27,290 --> 00:30:28,530
Let's see if there's another Anzi

696
00:30:28,610 --> 00:30:29,850
who can bear the blame for you again!

697
00:30:53,730 --> 00:30:55,570
I'll kill you right now!

698
00:31:07,210 --> 00:31:08,770
I'm going to kill you!

699
00:31:32,330 --> 00:31:33,890
I'll spare you for today.

700
00:31:35,170 --> 00:31:36,650
Once things blow over,

701
00:31:37,970 --> 00:31:39,290
I'll take your life.

702
00:31:45,930 --> 00:31:46,690
Madam Qian.

703
00:31:47,810 --> 00:31:48,450
Madam Qian.

704
00:31:49,210 --> 00:31:49,970
Madam Qian.

705
00:31:51,650 --> 00:31:52,770
How are you feeling?

706
00:31:57,490 --> 00:31:58,170
Cui'er.

707
00:32:01,770 --> 00:32:03,010
I've had enough

708
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:08,370
of such a life.

709
00:32:12,930 --> 00:32:13,570
Madam Qian.

710
00:32:14,370 --> 00:32:15,250
Let's run away.

711
00:32:17,730 --> 00:32:18,330
Run away?

712
00:32:22,210 --> 00:32:23,410
Where can we escape to?

713
00:32:26,930 --> 00:32:28,650
When Miss Si left, she told me

714
00:32:29,130 --> 00:32:30,650
she left behind a small sedan chair

715
00:32:30,850 --> 00:32:31,930
at the backdoor.

716
00:32:32,450 --> 00:32:33,850
She thought
that you might want to return home.

717
00:32:34,730 --> 00:32:36,010
If you don't leave now,

718
00:32:36,530 --> 00:32:38,290
I'm worried
that you might lose your life soon.

719
00:32:51,490 --> 00:32:52,169
Madam Qian.

720
00:32:52,890 --> 00:32:54,609
I can't just sit here
and wait for my demise.

721
00:32:57,410 --> 00:32:58,050
Time to go home.

722
00:33:00,890 --> 00:33:02,010
Let's go home.

723
00:33:05,649 --> 00:33:06,450
Let's go home.

724
00:33:16,230 --> 00:33:20,030
[Haitang House]

725
00:33:20,370 --> 00:33:21,450
The heavens are blind indeed.

726
00:33:21,689 --> 00:33:22,609
The serial killer

727
00:33:22,609 --> 00:33:23,649
got away scot-free just like that.

728
00:33:25,770 --> 00:33:26,730
Although Commandant Yu said

729
00:33:26,730 --> 00:33:27,730
that he would continue
the investigation,

730
00:33:28,089 --> 00:33:30,050
there's no evidence and no one left
to testify against the culprit now.

731
00:33:30,490 --> 00:33:31,810
How could that be?

732
00:33:32,089 --> 00:33:33,450
My Lady, did you forget about Miss Chi?

733
00:33:33,730 --> 00:33:35,450
Back then, you instructed me
to escort her out of the city.

734
00:33:35,610 --> 00:33:36,530
She was so grateful to you.

735
00:33:36,850 --> 00:33:38,170
My Lady, she'll come back
and testify against him

736
00:33:38,250 --> 00:33:39,410
as long as you want her to.

737
00:33:41,490 --> 00:33:42,930
But she had already led a rough life.

738
00:33:43,210 --> 00:33:44,490
Now, she has finally managed to escape.

739
00:33:44,850 --> 00:33:45,690
If we make her

740
00:33:45,770 --> 00:33:46,930
testify against Cao Xingyu,

741
00:33:47,210 --> 00:33:48,770
and news of her confinement

742
00:33:48,850 --> 00:33:49,810
gets out,

743
00:33:50,370 --> 00:33:51,250
how could a girl like her

744
00:33:51,410 --> 00:33:52,650
survive in the future?

745
00:33:53,090 --> 00:33:54,010
Aren't we forcing her

746
00:33:54,170 --> 00:33:55,370
to seek death once again?

747
00:33:55,650 --> 00:33:57,090
But if she doesn't testify against him,

748
00:33:57,210 --> 00:33:58,490
the villain could never
be brought to justice.

749
00:33:58,610 --> 00:33:59,970
Do you think she can lead
a good life knowing that?

750
00:34:01,210 --> 00:34:02,530
I'll go and visit her tomorrow.

751
00:34:04,290 --> 00:34:05,290
Si!

752
00:34:06,370 --> 00:34:07,090
Si!

753
00:34:07,130 --> 00:34:07,770
It's already late.

754
00:34:07,850 --> 00:34:09,090
Don't tell me she's here
to stir up trouble again?

755
00:34:09,170 --> 00:34:09,890
Go check what she wants first.

756
00:34:13,050 --> 00:34:14,570
Miss Pei, why are you here?

757
00:34:16,370 --> 00:34:17,050
Si!

758
00:34:17,290 --> 00:34:17,810
What's wrong?

759
00:34:17,970 --> 00:34:18,530
Qian, she...

760
00:34:19,410 --> 00:34:20,370
Jiang Qian has returned.

761
00:34:20,410 --> 00:34:21,450
She's at Grandmother's place now.

762
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,630
[Cixin Hall]

763
00:34:28,930 --> 00:34:29,850
Qian,

764
00:34:29,930 --> 00:34:31,770
stop crying.

765
00:34:32,890 --> 00:34:33,930
You have to tell me

766
00:34:33,970 --> 00:34:35,490
why you came home

767
00:34:35,610 --> 00:34:36,890
in the middle of the night.

768
00:34:37,410 --> 00:34:38,490
I heard

769
00:34:38,890 --> 00:34:41,010
that a murder had occurred
in Marquis of Changxing's Mansion.

770
00:34:41,170 --> 00:34:42,530
Several people were found dead.

771
00:34:42,730 --> 00:34:44,330
This is a murder case
we're talking about.

772
00:34:44,530 --> 00:34:45,850
Is Mr. Cao implicated?

773
00:34:45,970 --> 00:34:47,850
Is he in trouble?

774
00:34:48,050 --> 00:34:48,730
He has a father

775
00:34:48,770 --> 00:34:50,090
who has absolute authority.

776
00:34:51,090 --> 00:34:52,570
A murder case is nothing to him.

777
00:34:53,330 --> 00:34:54,930
He can cover up any crimes in the world.

778
00:34:55,170 --> 00:34:56,770
I'm not trying to reprimand you here.

779
00:34:57,210 --> 00:34:59,050
But you are husband and wife.

780
00:34:59,370 --> 00:35:00,970
You should go through
ups and downs together.

781
00:35:01,410 --> 00:35:03,450
You can't just return home
when your husband's family

782
00:35:03,890 --> 00:35:04,690
is in trouble, you know?

783
00:35:04,890 --> 00:35:06,290
Tell me what's going on.

784
00:35:06,810 --> 00:35:08,530
Did you argue with Mr. Cao?

785
00:35:08,850 --> 00:35:10,570
Or did he bully you?

786
00:35:11,210 --> 00:35:12,170
It's common for married couples

787
00:35:12,290 --> 00:35:14,850
to argue and bicker.

788
00:35:14,970 --> 00:35:15,970
Just ask your mother about it.

789
00:35:16,290 --> 00:35:17,610
You're already married.

790
00:35:17,930 --> 00:35:19,930
You shouldn't be this willful.

791
00:35:20,930 --> 00:35:22,170
It's late now.

792
00:35:22,210 --> 00:35:23,130
You should spend the night here.

793
00:35:23,450 --> 00:35:25,090
Head back tomorrow morning

794
00:35:25,290 --> 00:35:26,610
and apologize to your husband's family.

795
00:35:26,810 --> 00:35:29,330
Tell them
that your grandmother called you back

796
00:35:29,450 --> 00:35:30,730
because she was sick.

797
00:35:31,930 --> 00:35:32,690
Qian.

798
00:35:32,970 --> 00:35:34,290
Since you've already escaped
from that hellhole,

799
00:35:34,410 --> 00:35:35,650
you should tell us everything.

800
00:35:35,850 --> 00:35:36,930
That's right, Qian.

801
00:35:37,050 --> 00:35:37,930
You knew that the mansion

802
00:35:37,930 --> 00:35:38,850
was a dangerous place.

803
00:35:39,050 --> 00:35:39,770
Even so,

804
00:35:39,770 --> 00:35:40,730
you invited us there.

805
00:35:40,890 --> 00:35:41,970
What ulterior motive did you have?

806
00:35:42,290 --> 00:35:43,410
You should tell us everything

807
00:35:43,610 --> 00:35:44,810
in front of Grandmother.

808
00:35:44,890 --> 00:35:45,530
Shut up!

809
00:35:45,730 --> 00:35:47,090
Dangerous place?

810
00:35:47,370 --> 00:35:48,410
Do you think you have
the right to speak here?

811
00:35:48,650 --> 00:35:50,570
Qiao, tell me.

812
00:35:50,730 --> 00:35:51,970
What exactly happened?

813
00:35:52,290 --> 00:35:53,210
It was Cao Xingyu.

814
00:35:53,690 --> 00:35:55,290
He harbored
sinister intentions toward Si.

815
00:35:55,930 --> 00:35:56,490
What?

816
00:35:56,970 --> 00:35:59,890
Mr. Cao harbored
sinister intentions toward Miss Si?

817
00:36:00,290 --> 00:36:00,770
This...

818
00:36:01,570 --> 00:36:03,730
This is ridiculous.

819
00:36:04,130 --> 00:36:05,250
Mr. Cao has seen all kinds

820
00:36:05,250 --> 00:36:06,050
of beautiful girls, all right.

821
00:36:06,290 --> 00:36:07,450
You, you, and you.

822
00:36:07,530 --> 00:36:08,530
Go back to your rooms!

823
00:36:08,810 --> 00:36:09,170
Nanny Li,

824
00:36:09,170 --> 00:36:10,410
hurry and send them back to their rooms.

825
00:36:11,410 --> 00:36:13,210
Ladies, please go back.

826
00:36:19,410 --> 00:36:21,770
Qian, stop crying.

827
00:36:21,930 --> 00:36:24,450
Were you kept in the dark as well?

828
00:36:24,490 --> 00:36:26,810
Is that why you came back out of spite?

829
00:36:27,970 --> 00:36:29,210
I know everything.

830
00:36:29,610 --> 00:36:31,050
What nonsense are you talking about?

831
00:36:31,490 --> 00:36:32,810
What do you mean by that?

832
00:36:39,410 --> 00:36:39,890
What...

833
00:36:46,130 --> 00:36:46,770
My goodness!

834
00:36:47,570 --> 00:36:50,610
Qian, did Mr. Cao abuse you?

835
00:36:50,650 --> 00:36:53,130
Mr. Cao is too harsh on her!

836
00:36:53,170 --> 00:36:55,810
Why didn't you come back
and tell us about it sooner?

837
00:36:56,010 --> 00:36:56,890
Tell you sooner?

838
00:36:58,770 --> 00:37:00,170
How could I break the news to you all?

839
00:37:01,370 --> 00:37:02,970
Mother, since young, you and Grandmother

840
00:37:03,610 --> 00:37:04,970
told me

841
00:37:05,930 --> 00:37:06,730
that I was the most outstanding lady

842
00:37:06,730 --> 00:37:07,930
in this mansion.

843
00:37:09,530 --> 00:37:11,050
The honor and glory
of the entire household

844
00:37:11,090 --> 00:37:12,370
fall entirely on my shoulders.

845
00:37:13,330 --> 00:37:16,130
Since childhood,
I've studied the four arts

846
00:37:16,690 --> 00:37:17,850
and learned how to manage the household.

847
00:37:18,490 --> 00:37:19,770
I dared not slack off even for a moment.

848
00:37:21,410 --> 00:37:23,250
I did everything so that I could marry
into Marquis of Changxing's Mansion

849
00:37:24,210 --> 00:37:25,210
and win a better future

850
00:37:25,250 --> 00:37:26,730
for myself and our family!

851
00:37:27,130 --> 00:37:28,010
But in the end?

852
00:37:28,490 --> 00:37:29,290
I followed

853
00:37:29,330 --> 00:37:30,610
every single one of your instructions!

854
00:37:31,010 --> 00:37:31,970
Why did I

855
00:37:32,010 --> 00:37:33,210
end up like this?

856
00:37:33,250 --> 00:37:35,170
What have I done wrong?

857
00:37:38,970 --> 00:37:41,610
In the four years, two months,

858
00:37:42,650 --> 00:37:43,490
and seven days

859
00:37:44,170 --> 00:37:44,850
of being married to Cao Xingyu,

860
00:37:46,650 --> 00:37:47,250
I lived in hell

861
00:37:47,250 --> 00:37:48,650
every single day.

862
00:37:50,210 --> 00:37:51,010
Punches,

863
00:37:51,930 --> 00:37:52,570
slaps,

864
00:37:53,290 --> 00:37:53,850
lashes,

865
00:37:55,050 --> 00:37:56,450
I've endured all kinds
of physical abuse.

866
00:37:57,610 --> 00:37:58,370
Even if I begged for mercy,

867
00:37:59,370 --> 00:38:00,050
it was useless.

868
00:38:01,210 --> 00:38:02,490
After that, I started resisting him.

869
00:38:04,170 --> 00:38:05,930
It'd only make him more excited.

870
00:38:09,370 --> 00:38:10,410
After enduring so much abuse,

871
00:38:12,130 --> 00:38:13,130
I found a method

872
00:38:13,130 --> 00:38:13,810
that worked the best.

873
00:38:14,890 --> 00:38:16,410
That is to act like a dead body.

874
00:38:16,890 --> 00:38:17,650
Just let him abuse you

875
00:38:17,770 --> 00:38:19,010
without giving him any reactions.

876
00:38:20,610 --> 00:38:21,410
The more numb you are,

877
00:38:22,250 --> 00:38:23,450
the more uninteresting it is for him.

878
00:38:24,530 --> 00:38:25,490
Once he gets tired of abusing you,

879
00:38:26,450 --> 00:38:28,170
he'll go and find new victims.

880
00:38:37,810 --> 00:38:38,370
Qian.

881
00:38:39,850 --> 00:38:40,650
Qian, don't be scared.

882
00:38:41,010 --> 00:38:43,250
I'll take you
to Marquis of Changxing's Mansion now!

883
00:38:43,850 --> 00:38:44,850
I'll help you get a divorce!

884
00:38:44,970 --> 00:38:45,690
Nonsense!

885
00:38:46,730 --> 00:38:47,570
This family will be in upheaval

886
00:38:47,650 --> 00:38:49,170
if I come a moment later!

887
00:38:49,530 --> 00:38:50,210
Mother.

888
00:38:50,890 --> 00:38:52,290
Why did you not stop them?

889
00:38:52,330 --> 00:38:53,890
How could you let them
mess around like this?

890
00:38:54,170 --> 00:38:55,250
Just look at how much

891
00:38:55,290 --> 00:38:56,450
she has been abused.

892
00:38:57,250 --> 00:38:59,090
Anmou, you're finally back.

893
00:38:59,130 --> 00:39:01,850
Take a look at our girl!

894
00:39:02,730 --> 00:39:03,610
She has suffered

895
00:39:03,690 --> 00:39:05,930
so much physical abuse!

896
00:39:06,050 --> 00:39:06,730
Do they have no respect

897
00:39:06,770 --> 00:39:08,410
for the law in this country?

898
00:39:08,530 --> 00:39:09,170
Tomorrow morning,

899
00:39:09,530 --> 00:39:11,530
let's head
to Marquis of Changxing's Mansion

900
00:39:11,730 --> 00:39:13,010
and file a divorce
on our daughter's behalf!

901
00:39:15,690 --> 00:39:17,170
They truly have no regard for the law.

902
00:39:17,850 --> 00:39:19,450
Tomorrow, I'll see Marquis of Changxing

903
00:39:19,490 --> 00:39:20,210
and demand an account from him.

904
00:39:20,730 --> 00:39:21,650
I'll ask him

905
00:39:21,690 --> 00:39:22,650
why that darned son of his

906
00:39:23,090 --> 00:39:24,610
abused Qian

907
00:39:24,690 --> 00:39:25,570
to this extent.

908
00:39:25,930 --> 00:39:27,090
Anmou, you're right.

909
00:39:27,330 --> 00:39:28,290
We mustn't let him

910
00:39:28,330 --> 00:39:30,290
abuse Qian any longer.

911
00:39:31,410 --> 00:39:33,730
You have to deal
with the matter appropriately.

912
00:39:35,050 --> 00:39:37,490
This concerns the ties
between the two families.

913
00:39:40,010 --> 00:39:41,810
I understand, Mother.

914
00:39:49,130 --> 00:39:49,730
See?

915
00:39:49,970 --> 00:39:51,530
It's pointless to tell them about it.

916
00:39:54,130 --> 00:39:54,730
Father.

917
00:39:59,090 --> 00:40:00,090
Why do you think Cao Xingyu

918
00:40:00,170 --> 00:40:01,890
dared to do this to me?

919
00:40:04,610 --> 00:40:05,770
It's all because

920
00:40:05,770 --> 00:40:07,210
no one in my family
could stand up for me.

921
00:40:07,690 --> 00:40:09,130
Even if I was abused to such an extent,

922
00:40:09,970 --> 00:40:11,650
in the end,
you'll just head to his mansion

923
00:40:12,610 --> 00:40:14,450
and say a few words to him
without causing any discomfort!

924
00:40:14,650 --> 00:40:15,730
Qian,

925
00:40:16,010 --> 00:40:18,170
who said no one could stand up for you?

926
00:40:19,450 --> 00:40:20,330
We'll be heading there

927
00:40:20,330 --> 00:40:21,490
to demand an account from them, right?

928
00:40:21,570 --> 00:40:22,370
So?

929
00:40:26,050 --> 00:40:28,330
He's the Marquis of Changxing.

930
00:40:29,210 --> 00:40:30,690
He holds absolute authority.

931
00:40:31,170 --> 00:40:33,930
Our family has no way to go against him.

932
00:40:34,850 --> 00:40:38,370
Therefore, demanding an account
is the only thing we can do.

933
00:40:38,970 --> 00:40:40,130
So,

934
00:40:40,170 --> 00:40:41,210
are you going to use
the injuries I sustain

935
00:40:41,970 --> 00:40:43,850
to lay a better career path
for you and your brother?

936
00:40:46,570 --> 00:40:47,770
You unfilial girl!

937
00:40:47,930 --> 00:40:49,130
How dare you talk back to me like that?

938
00:40:49,250 --> 00:40:50,370
What are you doing?

939
00:40:50,490 --> 00:40:52,130
Hasn't she endured enough?

940
00:40:52,530 --> 00:40:53,090
Do you want her

941
00:40:53,090 --> 00:40:54,570
to give her another beating?

942
00:41:06,690 --> 00:41:07,770
Since ancient times,

943
00:41:09,050 --> 00:41:10,690
daughters have obeyed their fathers
when they were at home

944
00:41:12,570 --> 00:41:13,730
and obeyed their husbands
when they got married.

945
00:41:20,490 --> 00:41:21,050
Mother,

946
00:41:22,330 --> 00:41:24,130
I won't let them get a divorce.

947
00:41:25,330 --> 00:41:26,050
Please don't worry.
