15
00:02:00,050 --> 00:02:01,860
Is she very beautiful?

16
00:02:03,050 --> 00:02:03,890
She...

17
00:02:06,410 --> 00:02:07,580
This woman

18
00:02:08,340 --> 00:02:09,630
occasionally shows

19
00:02:12,410 --> 00:02:13,250
a bit

20
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:14,300
of something.

21
00:02:20,410 --> 00:02:22,190
Even the most charming bandit's concubine

22
00:02:22,490 --> 00:02:24,100
is just a common beauty,

23
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:25,980
unworthy of your attention.

24
00:02:29,170 --> 00:02:30,840
Fan Hu said several men

25
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:31,900
followed Liu today.

26
00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:33,940
A beggar almost followed her home

27
00:02:34,330 --> 00:02:35,350
but did nothing.

28
00:02:36,010 --> 00:02:37,260
Maybe he had ill intentions,

29
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:39,380
or he could be a spy from Mount Yang.

30
00:02:46,020 --> 00:02:53,020
(Cui Mansion)

31
00:03:03,770 --> 00:03:05,470
Is Liu acting with you?

32
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:07,870
Regardless,

33
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:09,500
I will interrogate her.

34
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:12,050
No one can keep secrets

35
00:03:12,050 --> 00:03:12,890
from me.

36
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:15,800
But she seems like a weak woman to me.

37
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:18,780
Womanly compassion.

38
00:03:56,930 --> 00:03:57,910
Honey?

39
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:28,260
I didn't know you'd return tonight,

40
00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,260
so Nanny Li didn't prepare your food.

41
00:04:34,730 --> 00:04:35,570
Dear,

42
00:04:35,730 --> 00:04:37,110
did you enjoy your outing today?

43
00:04:49,170 --> 00:04:50,010
Honey,

44
00:04:50,730 --> 00:04:52,490
I bought two shops for you

45
00:04:52,490 --> 00:04:53,550
and set up a new kiln.

46
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:56,640
And?

47
00:04:59,610 --> 00:05:00,450
You...

48
00:05:02,050 --> 00:05:03,110
You know everything?

49
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:07,960
Today,

50
00:05:08,610 --> 00:05:10,670
I disciplined some rogues in the street.

51
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:12,800
Upon reflection,

52
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:13,750
I realized

53
00:05:14,090 --> 00:05:15,310
I was too harsh

54
00:05:16,500 --> 00:05:18,080
and troubled you.

55
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:19,580
Please forgive me.

56
00:05:22,850 --> 00:05:24,040
If I hadn't mentioned it,

57
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,460
would you have

58
00:05:26,650 --> 00:05:28,260
kept it from me?

59
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:31,960
What's wrong?

60
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:35,080
Honey, wait a moment.

61
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,580
This is an indictment I wrote.

62
00:05:42,970 --> 00:05:44,340
Please review it for me.

63
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,040
An indictment?

64
00:05:46,540 --> 00:05:48,860
(Indictment)

65
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,750
(What poor handwriting.)

66
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:54,730
(It's rare to see such)

67
00:05:54,730 --> 00:05:56,140
(sloppy writing.)

68
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:57,880
(Was Lu Wen)

69
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,230
(I'm Liu Miantang.)
(just into her looks?)

70
00:06:02,930 --> 00:06:04,700
To Lord Huaiyang?

71
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:07,930
He's the garrison's nephew.

72
00:06:07,930 --> 00:06:09,630
We can only submit it to Zhenzhou County

73
00:06:10,140 --> 00:06:11,760
to ask Lord Huaiyang to uphold justice.

74
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:13,070
But

75
00:06:13,290 --> 00:06:15,500
my writing is not neat.

76
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,630
Please rewrite it neatly for me.

77
00:06:20,970 --> 00:06:23,820
Chen Tu was injured by you.

78
00:06:25,290 --> 00:06:27,260
If we investigate thoroughly,

79
00:06:28,090 --> 00:06:29,670
you'll have to pay for his medicine.

80
00:06:30,730 --> 00:06:31,780
Right.

81
00:06:32,970 --> 00:06:34,730
I didn't think clearly.

82
00:06:34,730 --> 00:06:35,630
That won't do.

83
00:06:36,090 --> 00:06:37,560
If he blackmails us,

84
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:38,410
it'd be terrible.

85
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,070
But I'm glad

86
00:06:45,530 --> 00:06:46,990
you remembered the martial arts

87
00:06:47,490 --> 00:06:49,230
from the escort agency.

88
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,190
But they don't teach acupuncture

89
00:06:54,170 --> 00:06:55,670
with silver needles, right?

90
00:06:59,170 --> 00:07:00,010
Who taught you?

91
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:01,900
Honey, wait.

92
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,550
When I was recovering,

93
00:07:12,910 --> 00:07:14,240
Physician Zhao gave me

94
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:15,580
a book on acupressure.

95
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,580
It marks the points clearly.

96
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:20,310
I was lucky to hit the vital point

97
00:07:20,340 --> 00:07:21,660
(Pulses and Acupoints)
today.

98
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,820
Otherwise, I would have lost my honor.

99
00:07:24,410 --> 00:07:25,630
This isn't a medical book.

100
00:07:26,850 --> 00:07:29,110
It's clearly an assassination manual.

101
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,020
The markings are

102
00:07:31,490 --> 00:07:32,790
so gory and explicit.

103
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:35,380
You shouldn't learn this.

104
00:07:42,970 --> 00:07:43,810
Let me.

105
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,080
What's going on?

106
00:07:57,130 --> 00:07:58,100
Shh.

107
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:00,900
The Lord is interrogating Liu.

108
00:08:04,610 --> 00:08:06,360
Prisoners interrogated

109
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,290
by the Lord

110
00:08:07,290 --> 00:08:08,380
eventually

111
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,360
can't withstand it and end up

112
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:11,310
confessing everything.

113
00:08:13,650 --> 00:08:15,550
But Liu...

114
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:16,920
Whatever secrets

115
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,460
she hides

116
00:08:18,930 --> 00:08:21,580
will be uncovered by the Lord.

117
00:08:22,490 --> 00:08:23,630
But she

118
00:08:24,410 --> 00:08:26,140
is just a weak woman.

119
00:08:26,410 --> 00:08:27,430
Womanly compassion.

120
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:30,020
(Deed)
These are the deeds for our shop.

121
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,340
The two shops will be combined.

122
00:08:32,650 --> 00:08:34,900
This is the application
for the Commercial Tax Bureau.

123
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,320
(File)
The tax depends

124
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,580
(Applicant)
on the area.

125
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:40,290
You have the most experience.

126
00:08:40,290 --> 00:08:41,130
Tell me.

127
00:08:41,530 --> 00:08:42,800
Which is better, a big one

128
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:43,750
or two small ones?

129
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:49,430
Two small ones.

130
00:08:49,890 --> 00:08:51,980
A big one will be larger.

131
00:08:53,530 --> 00:08:54,370
Really?

132
00:08:57,320 --> 00:08:58,820
My family in the capital has managed

133
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,170
properties for years.

134
00:09:00,170 --> 00:09:02,210
These matters are handled by the elders.

135
00:09:02,210 --> 00:09:03,070
I only oversee

136
00:09:03,890 --> 00:09:04,730
porcelain making.

137
00:09:06,650 --> 00:09:08,430
That's good. I asked the right person.

138
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,220
Today, I also met the porcelain craftsmen.

139
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:20,960
This is local white porcelain.

140
00:09:21,050 --> 00:09:22,510
See if there are any issues.

141
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:42,100
The sides

142
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:43,980
are not very symmetrical.

143
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:46,440
What else?

144
00:09:48,930 --> 00:09:50,650
Using local clay for white porcelain

145
00:09:50,650 --> 00:09:51,800
makes it white but not fine,

146
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:52,640
with many pores.

147
00:09:53,170 --> 00:09:54,190
The bottom

148
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:55,820
easily forms bumps.

149
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,700
White porcelain isn't suitable here.

150
00:09:59,130 --> 00:10:00,650
It cannot be made in Lingquan Town

151
00:10:00,650 --> 00:10:01,970
like in the capital.

152
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:03,910
You've made porcelain for years.

153
00:10:04,130 --> 00:10:05,190
How can you not see it?

154
00:10:06,770 --> 00:10:08,050
Bumps and pores.

155
00:10:08,050 --> 00:10:09,240
I thought

156
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,600
they were local features.

157
00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:13,270
So, I didn't point them out.

158
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:16,340
But I forgot

159
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:18,040
this one

160
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:20,700
seemed to be from the capital.

161
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:27,910
Have you managed everything

162
00:10:29,370 --> 00:10:31,220
just to test me now?

163
00:10:33,530 --> 00:10:35,150
I just found it strange.

164
00:10:36,170 --> 00:10:37,190
You don't seem

165
00:10:38,370 --> 00:10:40,100
like a porcelain merchant.

166
00:10:51,370 --> 00:10:52,210
Well.

167
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,270
Nothing escapes your eyes.

168
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,550
I am just a useless dandy.

169
00:11:09,050 --> 00:11:09,890
I admit it.

170
00:11:11,630 --> 00:11:13,980
I am a useless dandy.

171
00:11:16,930 --> 00:11:17,770
Nanny Li.

172
00:11:21,130 --> 00:11:22,550
- Coming.
- Hurry.

173
00:11:22,770 --> 00:11:24,100
- Go, go.
- Coming.

174
00:11:25,100 --> 00:11:27,080
(Contract)

175
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:28,800
This is the master's only land deed

176
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:30,220
left in the capital.

177
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:31,930
It's officially approved.

178
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,160
Also,

179
00:11:33,270 --> 00:11:34,620
the documents for the workers.

180
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,390
You've handled these.

181
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:39,440
Madam.

182
00:11:39,740 --> 00:11:40,580
Look.

183
00:11:41,010 --> 00:11:42,450
Is this your private seal?

184
00:11:44,170 --> 00:11:45,190
I guess.

185
00:11:45,530 --> 00:11:46,550
It seems so.

186
00:11:46,770 --> 00:11:48,270
Since you joined the family,

187
00:11:49,980 --> 00:11:51,640
all major

188
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,030
and minor affairs

189
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,100
have been left to you.

190
00:11:58,010 --> 00:11:59,580
Only then can I

191
00:12:00,250 --> 00:12:02,070
focus on Go,

192
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:04,320
and occasionally

193
00:12:04,840 --> 00:12:05,940
accompany shipments.

194
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:08,620
But in the end,

195
00:12:10,050 --> 00:12:11,860
I am not as good as you.

196
00:12:12,560 --> 00:12:13,960
Why didn't you

197
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,270
tell me earlier?

198
00:12:17,410 --> 00:12:19,270
I wanted to change

199
00:12:21,170 --> 00:12:23,460
and take responsibility as the master.

200
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,670
But alas...

201
00:12:27,050 --> 00:12:27,910
Alas,

202
00:12:28,250 --> 00:12:29,840
he's incompetent,

203
00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:31,100
relying on you.

204
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:34,440
Nanny Li,

205
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,280
you can leave now.

206
00:12:42,560 --> 00:12:44,150
I can't believe I'm good at business.

207
00:12:44,770 --> 00:12:45,980
But why

208
00:12:46,290 --> 00:12:47,910
do I have no memory of it?

209
00:12:49,770 --> 00:12:50,610
Dear,

210
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,940
don't blame yourself too much.

211
00:12:56,970 --> 00:12:58,340
Forgetting such skills

212
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,670
is not your fault.

213
00:13:08,770 --> 00:13:10,580
Everything will get better.

214
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:14,550
You're uneasy because you haven't

215
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:17,270
regained your memory.

216
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,670
It's normal.

217
00:13:20,680 --> 00:13:21,940
I may be

218
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:24,980
a dandy,

219
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,190
but please don't doubt

220
00:13:30,010 --> 00:13:31,460
our relationship.

221
00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:35,460
Sorry.

222
00:13:39,410 --> 00:13:40,790
No need to say that.

223
00:13:41,530 --> 00:13:42,910
Then I'll

224
00:13:43,170 --> 00:13:44,460
put the documents away.

225
00:13:46,290 --> 00:13:47,150
Go make the bed.

226
00:13:49,770 --> 00:13:50,610
I'll sleep

227
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:53,580
in the room tonight.

228
00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:43,670
Why aren't you asleep?

229
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:49,040
Not yet.

230
00:14:53,410 --> 00:14:54,580
Honey, you want...

231
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,510
To sleep.

232
00:15:01,530 --> 00:15:02,370
Alright.

233
00:15:19,650 --> 00:15:20,790
(Did I use)

234
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,310
(to sleep with him like this?)

235
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:31,700
Can't sleep?

236
00:15:33,530 --> 00:15:34,370
No.

237
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,510
I'm thinking about us.

238
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:38,280
What is it?

239
00:15:40,050 --> 00:15:41,550
We've been married for three years.

240
00:15:42,290 --> 00:15:43,590
Why haven't you taken

241
00:15:44,290 --> 00:15:45,620
any concubines

242
00:15:45,890 --> 00:15:47,190
or secondary wives?

243
00:15:56,930 --> 00:15:57,770
Dear,

244
00:15:58,440 --> 00:15:59,460
having you alone

245
00:15:59,960 --> 00:16:00,800
is enough.

246
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:04,640
Alright.

247
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:06,340
I have no more questions.

248
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,270
(She's starting to suspect me.)

249
00:16:13,530 --> 00:16:15,070
(If she regains her memory,)

250
00:16:15,290 --> 00:16:17,620
(she might not confront me directly.)

251
00:16:18,530 --> 00:16:20,510
(Rather, she might continue to pretend.)

252
00:16:22,890 --> 00:16:24,790
(But if she doesn't regain her memory,)

253
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:27,570
(how could a bandit's concubine)

254
00:16:27,570 --> 00:16:30,220
(be so observant?)

255
00:16:31,410 --> 00:16:33,030
(What is Liu Miantang)

256
00:16:33,530 --> 00:16:34,980
(really thinking?)

257
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:42,450
(It's our first time.)

258
00:16:42,450 --> 00:16:44,220
(I shouldn't have drunk so much water.)

259
00:16:45,610 --> 00:16:47,310
(I really need to go.)

260
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:22,040
What's wrong?

261
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:25,230
I feel short of breath

262
00:17:25,570 --> 00:17:26,750
and my leg is numb.

263
00:17:35,610 --> 00:17:36,450
Honey,

264
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,550
why is there a wound on your hand?

265
00:17:41,410 --> 00:17:42,270
Let's sleep.

266
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,510
(I will definitely catch you,)

267
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:19,320
(Lu Wen.)

268
00:19:06,460 --> 00:19:08,380
(Indictment)

269
00:19:12,130 --> 00:19:12,970
Wait a minute.

270
00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,410
What is it, dear?

271
00:19:16,410 --> 00:19:17,270
I have a Go game.

272
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,200
The shop is under repair,

273
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:20,270
so I need you

274
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,410
to go to Zhenzhou County

275
00:19:22,410 --> 00:19:24,420
and submit this indictment to Lord Huaiyang.

276
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,120
That might not be appropriate.

277
00:19:29,650 --> 00:19:31,860
Honey, don't be afraid to see officials.

278
00:19:32,890 --> 00:19:34,130
I'm not afraid at all.

279
00:19:34,130 --> 00:19:35,340
What is there to be afraid of?

280
00:19:35,860 --> 00:19:37,640
Fear is natural,

281
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,270
but I've thought about it.

282
00:19:39,610 --> 00:19:41,000
Even if he's the garrison's nephew,

283
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:42,310
he threatened us first.

284
00:19:42,320 --> 00:19:43,420
We're on the right side.

285
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:45,420
Lord Huaiyang governs Zhenzhou.

286
00:19:45,650 --> 00:19:47,440
It's right for us to seek justice from him,

287
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:48,410
and it's right for him

288
00:19:48,410 --> 00:19:49,310
to be fair.

289
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,100
I agree with you, dear,

290
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:54,650
but Lord Huaiyang is very busy.

291
00:19:54,650 --> 00:19:56,550
He might not have time for this.

292
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:58,900
How do you know?

293
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:01,900
Just a hunch.

294
00:20:02,650 --> 00:20:03,750
Even if we submit it,

295
00:20:04,170 --> 00:20:05,070
it might not work.

296
00:20:06,650 --> 00:20:08,790
Will Lord Huaiyang overlook
the garrison's fault?

297
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,330
Or is he pretending to be just

298
00:20:11,330 --> 00:20:12,850
but is in fact corrupt?

299
00:20:12,850 --> 00:20:14,070
Officials protect each other.

300
00:20:14,410 --> 00:20:15,370
Is the Lord like that?

301
00:20:15,370 --> 00:20:16,420
Of course not.

302
00:20:18,570 --> 00:20:20,310
Why are you upset?

303
00:20:24,090 --> 00:20:26,270
I'm angry at that scoundrel.

304
00:20:27,570 --> 00:20:29,310
I know you care for me,

305
00:20:29,660 --> 00:20:30,500
and I believe

306
00:20:30,700 --> 00:20:31,980
you're not one

307
00:20:31,990 --> 00:20:33,140
to fear authority.

308
00:20:42,650 --> 00:20:43,820
What a sin.

309
00:21:06,650 --> 00:21:07,550
Poor thing.

310
00:21:08,130 --> 00:21:09,570
How can they leave all the hard work

311
00:21:09,570 --> 00:21:10,750
to Mrs. Cui?

312
00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:12,540
I heard

313
00:21:12,550 --> 00:21:13,650
Mr. Cui

314
00:21:13,650 --> 00:21:15,380
comes home late and leaves early,

315
00:21:15,650 --> 00:21:16,920
never to be seen.

316
00:21:17,170 --> 00:21:18,140
So suspicious.

317
00:21:19,810 --> 00:21:21,790
I hope Liu isn't a mistress.

318
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,170
That's right.

319
00:21:23,170 --> 00:21:25,090
It better not be like the Zhang family,

320
00:21:25,090 --> 00:21:26,710
causing trouble in the town.

321
00:21:27,170 --> 00:21:28,040
Mrs. Zhao.

322
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:28,990
Mrs. Yin.

323
00:21:35,410 --> 00:21:37,820
This connected shop is grand.

324
00:21:38,650 --> 00:21:39,950
Mrs. Cui, you've worked hard.

325
00:21:40,480 --> 00:21:41,960
I just helped a bit.

326
00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:43,420
My husband works the hardest.

327
00:21:43,850 --> 00:21:45,130
He runs the business every day,

328
00:21:45,130 --> 00:21:46,570
with serious things to do.

329
00:21:46,570 --> 00:21:47,410
He's always not home.

330
00:21:47,410 --> 00:21:48,510
I feel sorry for him

331
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,990
but don't know whom to tell.

332
00:21:50,410 --> 00:21:52,230
I worry that idlers will

333
00:21:52,810 --> 00:21:54,000
gossip

334
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,270
about newcomers.

335
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:57,990
But as a woman, I can't control it.

336
00:21:59,410 --> 00:22:00,370
Of course not.

337
00:22:00,370 --> 00:22:02,180
No need to worry.

338
00:22:02,890 --> 00:22:04,140
I'm just venting.

339
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:06,090
Everyone back home knows

340
00:22:06,090 --> 00:22:07,520
I'm a fierce woman.

341
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:09,200
I'll fight anyone

342
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,550
who slanders my family.

343
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:13,330
I'll smash their belongings,

344
00:22:13,330 --> 00:22:14,680
chop their tongues

345
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:15,900
and file a complaint.

346
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,680
The western tribes invaded Qizhou's land.

347
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:25,140
- We had locusts.
- Your Majesty.

348
00:22:25,370 --> 00:22:26,650
- People are starving.
- Eat.

349
00:22:26,660 --> 00:22:28,370
- Go away.
- They are eating wild herbs.

350
00:22:28,370 --> 00:22:30,550
- Calm down.
- His Majesty is having a meal.

351
00:22:31,130 --> 00:22:32,510
Don't mention such bad news.

352
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:33,480
But...

353
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:34,720
It missed.

354
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:35,810
Did Your Majesty win?

355
00:22:35,810 --> 00:22:37,070
I lost.

356
00:22:37,370 --> 00:22:38,210
Punish me.

357
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:45,290
Why are you kneeling?

358
00:22:45,290 --> 00:22:46,810
I'm asking you to flick here.

359
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:47,800
Hurry up.

360
00:22:48,220 --> 00:22:49,190
Your Majesty,

361
00:22:51,710 --> 00:22:53,340
you're the emperor.

362
00:22:53,990 --> 00:22:55,930
You shouldn't harm yourself.

363
00:22:56,550 --> 00:22:57,790
Come eat.

364
00:23:00,340 --> 00:23:01,620
Empress Dowager,

365
00:23:01,930 --> 00:23:03,440
here are the military reduction plans

366
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:04,720
from Lord Lin'an of Yuezhou

367
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:05,710
and Lord Pingdong.

368
00:23:09,980 --> 00:23:10,940
Now,

369
00:23:10,940 --> 00:23:12,660
only Lord Huaiyang of Zhenzhou

370
00:23:12,940 --> 00:23:14,180
hasn't moved his troops.

371
00:23:19,180 --> 00:23:20,140
How dare he?

372
00:23:21,220 --> 00:23:22,790
Garrisoning there.

373
00:23:23,220 --> 00:23:24,380
Does he plan to rebel?

374
00:23:24,740 --> 00:23:26,260
I'm the emperor.

375
00:23:26,380 --> 00:23:28,020
Who dares to anger Mother?

376
00:23:28,020 --> 00:23:29,460
I'll execute them.

377
00:23:32,380 --> 00:23:33,220
Your Majesty.

378
00:23:33,460 --> 00:23:34,940
I'm hungry.

379
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:38,500
- Someone.
- Yes.

380
00:23:38,500 --> 00:23:39,820
Cook another fish.

381
00:23:40,380 --> 00:23:41,220
Yes.

382
00:23:49,460 --> 00:23:53,180
Right and wrong are never clear,

383
00:23:55,110 --> 00:23:59,340
like peach blossoms floating in the river.

384
00:24:04,180 --> 00:24:05,740
What did your mentor's letter say?

385
00:24:05,740 --> 00:24:06,940
Why read and burn it?

386
00:24:08,620 --> 00:24:09,820
Same old advice.

387
00:24:10,620 --> 00:24:11,460
The Ministry of War

388
00:24:11,620 --> 00:24:13,140
reviewed my Zhenzhou military records

389
00:24:13,500 --> 00:24:15,100
to supervise the troop reduction.

390
00:24:16,300 --> 00:24:17,620
You command a large army,

391
00:24:17,900 --> 00:24:19,380
making the Empress Dowager uneasy.

392
00:24:19,700 --> 00:24:20,860
She will act against you

393
00:24:20,860 --> 00:24:22,020
sooner or later.

394
00:24:25,460 --> 00:24:26,300
Let's wait it out.

395
00:24:26,900 --> 00:24:27,900
I'm not interested

396
00:24:28,180 --> 00:24:29,620
in this matter right now.

397
00:24:31,060 --> 00:24:32,380
Before the main event,

398
00:24:32,860 --> 00:24:34,500
do you want to watch a show with me?

399
00:24:36,700 --> 00:24:38,780
Come on, why aren't you excited?

400
00:24:46,780 --> 00:24:47,620
Wang?

401
00:24:48,460 --> 00:24:49,300
My Lord.

402
00:24:49,700 --> 00:24:50,540
My Lord.

403
00:24:51,380 --> 00:24:52,860
Why are you detaining my gatekeeper?

404
00:24:53,140 --> 00:24:54,180
Don't worry.

405
00:24:55,980 --> 00:24:56,820
These men

406
00:24:57,900 --> 00:24:59,980
are spies planted in Zhenzhou

407
00:24:59,980 --> 00:25:01,700
by General Shi Yikuan of Qingzhou.

408
00:25:02,700 --> 00:25:03,740
He competes with me

409
00:25:03,740 --> 00:25:04,820
over bandit suppression,

410
00:25:05,220 --> 00:25:07,340
opposing me at every turn in the court.

411
00:25:08,140 --> 00:25:11,180
He's been placing men here
for a couple of years.

412
00:25:11,900 --> 00:25:14,700
I caught them all today.

413
00:25:17,700 --> 00:25:18,940
Wang has been

414
00:25:19,460 --> 00:25:21,140
spying on your mansion.

415
00:25:22,180 --> 00:25:23,380
Shi Yikuan might know better

416
00:25:23,700 --> 00:25:25,740
than you

417
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:27,700
when your mother leaves

418
00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:30,340
and returns home.

419
00:25:33,380 --> 00:25:34,580
I treated you with respect.

420
00:25:35,460 --> 00:25:37,140
Any other lords would've

421
00:25:38,060 --> 00:25:39,500
gouged out your eyes

422
00:25:40,460 --> 00:25:43,100
and cut your tongue.

423
00:25:44,620 --> 00:25:46,060
Please spare us.

424
00:25:46,060 --> 00:25:47,540
Please spare us, My Lord.

425
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:49,860
Spare us.

426
00:25:49,860 --> 00:25:51,420
Why are you so frightened?

427
00:25:52,460 --> 00:25:53,500
I didn't tell you earlier

428
00:25:53,500 --> 00:25:54,780
to avoid alarming the enemy.

429
00:25:55,540 --> 00:25:56,860
I know Zhenzhou

430
00:25:57,660 --> 00:25:59,460
inside out.

431
00:25:59,460 --> 00:26:01,300
These foreign troublemakers

432
00:26:01,700 --> 00:26:02,580
can't stir up trouble.

433
00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:05,340
Wang,

434
00:26:06,380 --> 00:26:07,900
if you and your family

435
00:26:07,900 --> 00:26:09,060
want to live,

436
00:26:09,980 --> 00:26:11,020
relay a message

437
00:26:11,980 --> 00:26:14,020
to Shi Yikuan as I said.

438
00:26:15,220 --> 00:26:16,060
Understand?

439
00:26:16,260 --> 00:26:19,120
Yes, yes. I understand.

440
00:26:20,460 --> 00:26:21,300
Good.

441
00:26:33,220 --> 00:26:35,700
Planting spies around me

442
00:26:36,700 --> 00:26:38,100
is too much.

443
00:26:38,780 --> 00:26:39,620
Alright then.

444
00:26:40,540 --> 00:26:42,460
Qingzhou mustn't find out

445
00:26:43,660 --> 00:26:45,900
what I'm doing

446
00:26:46,620 --> 00:26:47,460
because

447
00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:50,750
the fish

448
00:26:51,860 --> 00:26:52,700
has bitten the bait.

449
00:26:58,020 --> 00:26:59,780
Based on this drawing, you

450
00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:00,900
conclude that Mount Yang

451
00:27:00,900 --> 00:27:02,300
has found Liu Miantang?

452
00:27:02,980 --> 00:27:03,900
You often go

453
00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:05,060
to Qi's Cloth Shop, right?

454
00:27:06,700 --> 00:27:08,180
Their shop was robbed by Mount Yang.

455
00:27:09,540 --> 00:27:11,460
Next time you visit,

456
00:27:11,460 --> 00:27:12,540
search their shop carefully.

457
00:27:12,540 --> 00:27:13,900
You'll find this mark.

458
00:27:15,700 --> 00:27:16,980
After dealing with him

459
00:27:17,540 --> 00:27:18,700
for three years,

460
00:27:19,140 --> 00:27:20,460
I know the enemy well.

461
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:24,580
Lu Wen is meticulous.

462
00:27:24,940 --> 00:27:25,860
He won't show himself

463
00:27:26,300 --> 00:27:27,620
unless necessary.

464
00:27:28,860 --> 00:27:30,100
I'm just afraid Liu

465
00:27:31,220 --> 00:27:32,980
is pretending to have amnesia

466
00:27:32,980 --> 00:27:34,100
(Cui Mansion)
and stalling.

467
00:27:34,660 --> 00:27:35,780
But that's not important.

468
00:27:36,020 --> 00:27:37,580
Lu Wen wants to see Liu Miantang.

469
00:27:37,780 --> 00:27:38,620
Fine.

470
00:27:38,780 --> 00:27:39,860
As he wishes,

471
00:27:40,260 --> 00:27:41,460
I'll set up

472
00:27:41,460 --> 00:27:42,460
a grand,

473
00:27:42,460 --> 00:27:44,180
reasonable scene

474
00:27:45,540 --> 00:27:48,020
so everyone in Lingquan Town

475
00:27:48,980 --> 00:27:50,620
can meet Liu Miantang.

476
00:28:18,620 --> 00:28:19,460
Madam.

477
00:28:19,860 --> 00:28:21,420
Where's the master?

478
00:28:35,780 --> 00:28:39,260
(Cui Mansion)

479
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:53,600
Honey, you're back.

480
00:28:57,880 --> 00:28:59,080
Zhang!

481
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,120
I've found out

482
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:02,360
you've been deceiving me.

483
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,520
You've been acting all along.

484
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:08,040
Dear, I can't act.

485
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:09,360
I wouldn't deceive you.

486
00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:10,320
Straw mats are

487
00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,100
- indeed ineffective.
- You're lying again.

488
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,040
We'll make more partitions tomorrow.

489
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:16,800
Mrs. Zhang couldn't help herself

490
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:17,920
and lost control.

491
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:19,840
Please understand

492
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:21,160
this poor woman.

493
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:23,360
What's wrong?

494
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:24,800
She thought her husband

495
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,080
was devoted,

496
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:28,600
but he only wanted

497
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:29,960
something from her.

498
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:31,640
He was muddling along.

499
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:33,280
Every word

500
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:34,520
was a lie.

501
00:29:37,760 --> 00:29:39,120
How do you know these things?

502
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:41,320
Only from deep pain would one

503
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:43,480
feel such sorrow.

504
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:47,520
What's her plan?

505
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:49,880
Mrs. Zhang is easily swayed

506
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:51,320
and manipulated by her husband.

507
00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,240
I advised her

508
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,160
to have her brothers

509
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:56,760
take over the shop,

510
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:58,960
cutting off Zhang's livelihood.

511
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:00,600
This way,

512
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,880
he won't have time

513
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:03,080
for other women

514
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,200
or things

515
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:07,160
unknown

516
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:08,280
to Mrs. Zhang.

517
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,320
How miserable and unpredictable.

518
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,080
Every family has its troubles.

519
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:14,280
Dear,

520
00:30:14,390 --> 00:30:15,960
don't get involved in these matters.

521
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:17,880
What if it's all a lie?

522
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,080
They will be exposed someday.

523
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:25,960
Cui Jiu,

524
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,000
am I really your wife?

525
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:32,920
Why are you doubting that?

526
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:38,600
You treat me well,

527
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:42,120
but you're

528
00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:44,840
distant and aloof.

529
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:48,120
We don't seem like a normal couple.

530
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:56,920
I'm not eloquent

531
00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:58,760
or romantic,

532
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,400
so you might

533
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:04,400
find me cold.

534
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:07,440
At first, I thought it was

535
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:08,560
because of your upbringing.

536
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:09,920
But even when that rogue

537
00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,160
insulted me yesterday,

538
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,480
you didn't comfort me
like an ordinary husband would.

539
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:17,320
Instead, you questioned me all night.

540
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:18,960
What did you want to know?

541
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:21,560
You've held a grudge?

542
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,120
I suppose you didn't submit the indictment?

543
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:28,360
I did.

544
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,080
What does Lord Huaiyang's mansion look like?

545
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:36,160
The main gate is red-lacquered
with copper nails

546
00:31:36,160 --> 00:31:38,120
and adorned with eaves lanterns,

547
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,440
two stone lions, and two stone lamps.

548
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:43,360
The east has a bell tower,

549
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:44,680
and the west has a yamen.

550
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:46,720
Is that

551
00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,200
consistent with what you heard?

552
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,640
I understand your suspicions.

553
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,000
We've been married for three years.

554
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:54,960
I know you

555
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:56,640
very well.

556
00:31:57,600 --> 00:31:58,640
You're strong-willed.

557
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:00,280
You can't tolerate any loss.

558
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:02,440
If that rogue tried

559
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:03,960
to extort money,

560
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,120
you'd feel guilty all night.

561
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,360
But I only criticized you slightly.

562
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,000
Why are you taking it seriously?

563
00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:14,040
Actually,

564
00:32:15,400 --> 00:32:17,400
you questioning me repeatedly

565
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:19,400
makes me feel distant.

566
00:32:19,850 --> 00:32:20,960
- I...
- My fault?

567
00:32:21,560 --> 00:32:22,840
Blaming me?

568
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:24,120
Is it because of you?

569
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,840
I wouldn't blame you for no reason.

570
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,160
You can't brush this off.

571
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,680
Explain it to me.

572
00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,600
Why do you leave under the pretext

573
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:31,440
of playing Go

574
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:32,440
and have nights out?

575
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,200
I've checked.

576
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,280
You didn't go to the club.

577
00:32:35,600 --> 00:32:37,640
The owner said no one named Cui ever came.

578
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:39,340
What's your husband's name?

579
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:40,280
Cui Jiu.

580
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,120
There's no one named Cui here.

581
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:44,240
Never heard of him.

582
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:45,280
Cui Jiu,

583
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:47,480
who am I to you?

584
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:56,800
I'm not good at Go

585
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:58,440
but I care about my reputation.

586
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:02,720
So I used an alias.

587
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:04,760
An alias?

588
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:08,360
What is it?

589
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:10,800
Jiu...

590
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:14,080
Jiu...

591
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:16,240
Jiujiu?

592
00:33:17,880 --> 00:33:18,760
Your alias is Jiujiu?

593
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:27,120
I couldn't beat them,

594
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:29,040
so I stopped going

595
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:32,000
and found a teacher.

596
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:33,680
Really?

597
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:36,880
Yes.

598
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:40,760
Jiujiu.

599
00:33:42,440 --> 00:33:43,680
Dear, stop laughing.

600
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:45,200
How embarrassing.

601
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,200
Don't let this spread.

602
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:48,120
Liu,

603
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:49,440
come out!

604
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,160
Hurry!

605
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,000
Come out now!

606
00:33:52,320 --> 00:33:53,280
I can't see you.

607
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:54,400
Let me see you.

608
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:55,720
I need to settle this.

609
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:57,400
I'm so mad.

610
00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:58,480
Liu!

611
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,760
- It's the neighbor.
- You interfered in my marriage,

612
00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,320
encouraged my wife to return home,

613
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,360
and ruined my business.

614
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:08,440
Everyone knows

615
00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,080
you're a mistress.

616
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,480
- Mistress!
- Shameless.

617
00:34:11,510 --> 00:34:12,400
- Rude!
- Mistress.

618
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,900
- It's his fault.
- You meddler.

619
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:14,760
I'll go scold him.

620
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,340
- No manners.
- Shut up.

621
00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:17,760
The master hasn't spoken yet.

622
00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:19,280
Don't disgrace us.

623
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,380
He likes to scold from the wall.

624
00:34:21,380 --> 00:34:22,230
Go home.

625
00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:23,520
The hot water in the side room

626
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,120
- is still warm.
- Humiliating.

627
00:34:25,860 --> 00:34:26,700
Wait.

628
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:29,280
Nanny Li,

629
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:32,400
why did he call my wife a mistress?

630
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:38,640
The master leaves early and returns late,

631
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:40,440
while the madam shows herself often.

632
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:42,720
The neighbors

633
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,520
love gossiping.

634
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,000
Mr. and Mrs. Cui,

635
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,240
don't take it to heart.

636
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:56,840
Rumors are vicious here.

637
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,320
Sorry about this.

638
00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:01,720
Nanny Li,

639
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:03,160
how do we

640
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:04,840
clear her name?

641
00:35:06,550 --> 00:35:07,520
Well.

642
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,360
Master, maybe take her out

643
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:12,040
more often.

644
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:13,040
Just taking a walk?

645
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:16,480
A walk

646
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,860
won't stop them.

647
00:35:20,140 --> 00:35:22,560
They'll still spread rumors.

648
00:35:24,680 --> 00:35:26,000
We need a bold move

649
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:27,400
to silence the rumors.

650
00:35:28,080 --> 00:35:30,600
Master, you must make good connections.

651
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:33,360
Connections?

652
00:35:34,580 --> 00:35:36,160
According to Zhenzhou customs,

653
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:37,440
choose an auspicious day

654
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:38,840
to invite the local gentry

655
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:39,760
and neighbors

656
00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:41,800
to a banquet.

657
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:45,960
Traditionally,

658
00:35:45,960 --> 00:35:47,840
the hostess manages it.

659
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:49,120
When the madam

660
00:35:49,120 --> 00:35:50,520
shows up at the banquet,

661
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,240
it'll naturally prove her status.

662
00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:56,520
It also leaves a good impression

663
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:57,800
among neighbors,

664
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,840
aiding our business.

665
00:36:00,180 --> 00:36:01,440
How convenient.

666
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:03,440
Alright.

667
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:07,840
The banquet must have

668
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:09,440
fine food and wine.

669
00:36:10,720 --> 00:36:12,040
Is that necessary?

670
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,000
Yes.

671
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:18,200
Master, since you've settled here,

672
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,280
a banquet is due

673
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:22,120
for neighbors here.

674
00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:24,320
Consider it a housewarming.

675
00:36:25,700 --> 00:36:27,360
To ease my worries?

676
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,080
Do you know how much it costs

677
00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:30,480
to hold a banquet?

678
00:36:31,880 --> 00:36:34,030
As long as you're at ease,

679
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:35,980
spending any amount is worth it.

680
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:37,320
Honey,

681
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:38,400
why make such a fuss

682
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,200
over something so insignificant?

683
00:36:40,200 --> 00:36:41,680
How is this insignificant?

684
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:43,360
Your reputation is

685
00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:45,040
the most important thing in our home.

686
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:47,280
Yes, yes.

687
00:36:47,440 --> 00:36:48,280
The master

688
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:49,720
never counts

689
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,320
the cost for the madam.

690
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:53,240
If you want to make

691
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:54,880
a grand display here,

692
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:56,320
money can't be saved.

693
00:36:56,880 --> 00:36:58,800
There's a summer villa east of the town,

694
00:36:59,120 --> 00:36:59,960
spacious and ideal.

695
00:37:00,240 --> 00:37:02,040
If you doubt

696
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,600
whether I'm a merchant

697
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:04,720
or if we are

698
00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:06,040
a married couple,

699
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:08,400
it's ultimately my fault

700
00:37:08,760 --> 00:37:09,720
as a husband.

701
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:11,160
So, let's

702
00:37:11,280 --> 00:37:13,000
make a grand show

703
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:14,320
and let others witness it.

704
00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:15,520
There will be

705
00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:16,880
no more doubts.

706
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:51,960
Madam.

707
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,080
You know he spent all his money.

708
00:37:55,080 --> 00:37:57,480
Why did you encourage him to hold a banquet?

709
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:01,880
I'm also worried about the master.

710
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,320
It was the master's idea.

711
00:38:05,800 --> 00:38:07,320
Then why go along with him?

712
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:10,840
You should be discerning

713
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:12,920
in managing the household,

714
00:38:12,920 --> 00:38:14,160
knowing what's appropriate

715
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:15,320
and what's excessive.

716
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:17,080
How can you be so reckless?

717
00:38:17,800 --> 00:38:19,360
Is it how you do things?

718
00:38:22,560 --> 00:38:23,400
Madam.

719
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:26,000
Think about it.

720
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:28,200
In this family,

721
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,440
are you the only one

722
00:38:30,770 --> 00:38:32,960
who values money?

723
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:39,920
He's a merchant.

724
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:41,320
He naturally values money.

725
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,640
Then why did he insist

726
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:47,840
on such a costly affair?

727
00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:55,920
Merchants prioritize profit.

728
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,200
For him to disregard the cost

729
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,360
for me is rare.

730
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,160
Yes.

731
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:05,120
The master

732
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,840
is sincere.

733
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:08,360
He said

734
00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,360
money could be earned back,

735
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:11,920
but once trust was broken,

736
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,760
even a thousand gold couldn't restore it.

737
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,880
A local feast is worth it.

738
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,240
Well.

739
00:39:19,240 --> 00:39:20,920
Your concerns

740
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:21,920
stem from the anxiety

741
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,240
caused by your memory loss.

742
00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:26,880
You're worried and suspicious

743
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,240
because everything

744
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:29,440
feels unfamiliar.

745
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:31,680
As they say,

746
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:33,920
"Care breeds confusion."

747
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,160
The master's methods may seem clumsy,

748
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:38,120
he's only doing this

749
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:39,480
to put your mind

750
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,400
at ease.

751
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:45,880
Madam,

752
00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,440
do you still have more doubts?

753
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:52,400
These days,

754
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:53,680
I only thought about myself.

755
00:39:54,200 --> 00:39:55,240
I haven't considered

756
00:39:55,240 --> 00:39:56,560
how he's been enduring it.

757
00:39:57,560 --> 00:39:59,880
Nanny Li, please prepare

758
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:01,560
more of his favorite dishes tonight.

759
00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:18,960
What a sin.

760
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:22,240
What a sin.

761
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:45,560
The neighbors

762
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:47,360
can be verbally invited to the feast,

763
00:40:47,800 --> 00:40:49,240
but for business matters,

764
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:51,560
inviting influential figures

765
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,000
requires formal invitations.

766
00:40:54,480 --> 00:40:55,320
Invitations?

767
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:58,600
Here's a list of merchants.

768
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:02,920
Please copy these

769
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:04,120
into the invitations.

770
00:41:05,920 --> 00:41:06,760
So many.

771
00:41:07,360 --> 00:41:09,160
And this is a list of officials.

772
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:10,880
Though

773
00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:12,320
some might not attend,

774
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,320
it's proper

775
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:14,160
to extend the invite.

776
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,160
Dear, you

777
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:18,360
don't have to do this.

778
00:41:18,840 --> 00:41:20,520
Lingquan Town is small.

779
00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:22,640
Those who wish to come will.

780
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:25,480
What's important

781
00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:26,640
is you.

782
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:28,480
True.

783
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:33,160
In that case, perhaps

784
00:41:33,880 --> 00:41:35,160
I should write the invitations.

785
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:49,400
Is my handwriting that bad?

786
00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:51,560
Indeed.

787
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:53,760
Well.

788
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:56,040
Let me teach you.

789
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:07,240
I'm asking for the brush.

790
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:21,920
First of all,

791
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:23,880
your problem with writing

792
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:26,840
is with horizontal and vertical strokes.

793
00:42:27,600 --> 00:42:28,480
Practice characters

794
00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:30,280
with more horizontal strokes first.

795
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,320
Then I want to write

796
00:42:35,040 --> 00:42:36,800
the character for "wife".

797
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:40,400
It's better to write

798
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:42,040
the character for "fairness".

799
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:44,000
You can practice the strokes.

800
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:53,040
The long one needs to start with a pause,

801
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:55,760
gradually become thinner,

802
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,480
and gradually become thicker.

803
00:42:58,440 --> 00:42:59,280
End the stroke.

804
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:02,840
The short one should start lightly

805
00:43:05,080 --> 00:43:06,520
and gradually get heavier.

806
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:08,240
End the stroke.

807
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:32,400
It sounds so sorrowful.

808
00:43:33,400 --> 00:43:35,240
