(Adapted from China Literature author
Zhizhi's novel of the same name)

00:01:35,952 --> 00:01:37,936
=Episode 25=
4
00:02:03,190 --> 00:02:03,990
His Majesty,
5
00:02:04,069 --> 00:02:05,429
the Grand Empress Dowager,
6
00:02:05,429 --> 00:02:06,670
and the Empress have arrived!
7
00:02:16,640 --> 00:02:18,460
(Jiuxiao Banquet Hall)
8
00:02:20,950 --> 00:02:22,469
Greetings to Your Majesties:
the Emperor,
9
00:02:22,469 --> 00:02:23,869
the Grand Empress Dowager,
10
00:02:23,869 --> 00:02:24,670
and the Empress.
11
00:02:24,990 --> 00:02:25,510
Be seated.
12
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:27,270
Thank you, Your Majesty.
13
00:02:34,110 --> 00:02:36,790
I specially brought dancers
from Shaqiong
14
00:02:36,830 --> 00:02:38,790
to perform the Splendid Huayan Dance
15
00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:40,309
in celebration
of your birthday, Grand Empress Dowager.
16
00:03:17,510 --> 00:03:18,469
Wonderful.
17
00:03:24,189 --> 00:03:25,270
This pose
18
00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:27,869
of playing the pipa behind the back
19
00:03:27,869 --> 00:03:29,629
is rather unusual.
20
00:03:30,149 --> 00:03:31,589
What does it signify?
21
00:03:31,950 --> 00:03:33,230
Grand Empress Dowager,
22
00:03:34,469 --> 00:03:37,110
Miss Xie is recorded
in the Ganlin gazetteer three times
23
00:03:37,189 --> 00:03:39,110
and knows the customs
of the Gandu Circuit
24
00:03:39,110 --> 00:03:40,189
very well.
25
00:03:40,189 --> 00:03:42,110
May she come forward and answer?
26
00:03:42,469 --> 00:03:43,350
Granted.
27
00:04:00,270 --> 00:04:02,990
This is the pipa-behind-the-back pose
28
00:04:02,990 --> 00:04:04,390
from Shaqiong's celestial dance.
29
00:04:05,950 --> 00:04:08,230
The dancer twists and turns her body,
30
00:04:08,309 --> 00:04:09,149
with her left arm
31
00:04:09,149 --> 00:04:10,749
cradling the pipa behind her,
32
00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:12,790
while her right hand
plucks the strings backward,
33
00:04:12,909 --> 00:04:14,070
as though embracing the moon.
34
00:04:14,830 --> 00:04:16,230
Her fingers open and close
35
00:04:16,230 --> 00:04:17,710
like a blooming lotus,
36
00:04:17,949 --> 00:04:18,990
symbolizing the lotus
37
00:04:18,990 --> 00:04:20,990
that rises unstained from the mud.
38
00:04:25,550 --> 00:04:27,269
More than the dance,
39
00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:29,710
I'm more interested
40
00:04:29,710 --> 00:04:31,030
in you.
41
00:04:31,470 --> 00:04:33,030
How old are you?
42
00:04:35,429 --> 00:04:36,629
Grand Empress Dowager,
43
00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:37,829
I am
44
00:04:38,910 --> 00:04:39,990
twenty-four this year.
45
00:04:40,509 --> 00:04:43,429
Then why do you still wear
an unmarried woman's hairstyle?
46
00:04:49,350 --> 00:04:50,629
Grand Empress Dowager,
47
00:04:51,309 --> 00:04:52,069
I am
48
00:04:52,189 --> 00:04:53,710
Miss Xie's fiance.
49
00:04:54,590 --> 00:04:55,910
Back in Ganlin,
50
00:04:56,069 --> 00:04:57,389
we were already betrothed,
51
00:04:57,710 --> 00:04:58,990
but the war delayed us,
52
00:04:59,470 --> 00:05:01,150
and we have yet to marry.
53
00:05:01,710 --> 00:05:02,670
So...
54
00:05:06,749 --> 00:05:08,869
Miss Xie is truly an exceptional woman.
55
00:05:09,309 --> 00:05:10,590
Though born to a distinguished family,
56
00:05:10,590 --> 00:05:12,429
she willingly followed her fiance
57
00:05:12,429 --> 00:05:13,550
all the way to the frontier.
58
00:05:13,869 --> 00:05:15,110
Such courage
59
00:05:15,110 --> 00:05:16,710
is rare indeed.
60
00:05:19,309 --> 00:05:21,269
Which distinguished family are you from?
61
00:05:24,350 --> 00:05:25,670
Grand Empress Dowager,
62
00:05:26,829 --> 00:05:28,110
I was born
63
00:05:29,829 --> 00:05:30,990
into the Fu family of Huaying.
64
00:05:36,150 --> 00:05:37,629
Is it
65
00:05:37,629 --> 00:05:39,710
the Fu family of Huaying
66
00:05:39,710 --> 00:05:40,829
with three chastity memorial arches?
67
00:05:42,910 --> 00:05:44,869
I've heard of them.
68
00:05:45,150 --> 00:05:46,590
Their women are known for chastity,
69
00:05:46,869 --> 00:05:48,309
and their men for filial devotion.
70
00:05:49,749 --> 00:05:51,069
Then why
71
00:05:51,069 --> 00:05:52,150
did you change your surname to Xie?
72
00:05:59,949 --> 00:06:01,470
Grand Empress Dowager,
73
00:06:02,030 --> 00:06:03,350
when chaos broke out in Huaying,
74
00:06:03,590 --> 00:06:04,869
Fifth Madam Fu
75
00:06:04,869 --> 00:06:05,829
feared for her daughter's safety
76
00:06:06,069 --> 00:06:06,990
and entrusted her to me
77
00:06:06,990 --> 00:06:07,829
to take her away.
78
00:06:08,910 --> 00:06:09,869
To keep her safe,
79
00:06:10,309 --> 00:06:11,509
she had no choice
but to change her surname.
80
00:06:12,470 --> 00:06:15,309
If the name was changed only
to keep her safe,
81
00:06:15,710 --> 00:06:16,590
now
82
00:06:16,590 --> 00:06:18,350
she may return to her true family name.
83
00:06:19,069 --> 00:06:19,790
Grandmother,
84
00:06:20,189 --> 00:06:22,030
their marriage had their
elders' approval,
85
00:06:22,309 --> 00:06:23,629
and hardship proved their devotion.
86
00:06:24,110 --> 00:06:25,670
They are a rare and devoted pair.
87
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:27,230
I
88
00:06:27,629 --> 00:06:29,110
intend to decree their marriage.
89
00:06:29,790 --> 00:06:30,550
I ask
90
00:06:30,749 --> 00:06:32,189
for your verbal approval as well.
91
00:06:33,110 --> 00:06:34,550
This jade ruyi today
92
00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:36,550
will make the perfect wedding gift.
93
00:06:41,710 --> 00:06:43,670
Congratulations, Commander Zhao
and Miss Fu.
94
00:06:43,990 --> 00:06:45,590
Now that you've received
a marriage decree,
95
00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:46,509
when you return home,
96
00:06:46,509 --> 00:06:48,110
be sure to tell your elders
97
00:06:48,389 --> 00:06:49,590
the good news.
98
00:06:51,309 --> 00:06:51,990
By the way,
99
00:06:52,309 --> 00:06:55,030
there's been quite a stir
in the capital lately.
100
00:06:55,509 --> 00:06:57,389
They say you defied your father
101
00:06:57,389 --> 00:06:58,710
and took it upon yourself
102
00:06:59,150 --> 00:07:00,470
to move your grandmother's grave.
103
00:07:00,829 --> 00:07:01,910
Is that true?
104
00:07:04,429 --> 00:07:05,069
Yes.
105
00:07:06,710 --> 00:07:07,990
Grandmother's final wish
106
00:07:08,389 --> 00:07:10,509
was to be buried
in our ancestral cemetery in Huaying.
107
00:07:11,869 --> 00:07:13,269
You did the right thing.
108
00:07:13,710 --> 00:07:15,230
As descendants,
109
00:07:15,389 --> 00:07:17,030
we cannot honor only our parents
110
00:07:17,269 --> 00:07:19,269
and neglect our grandmother.
111
00:07:23,504 --> 00:07:25,610
(Yu Residence)
112
00:07:28,590 --> 00:07:29,710
In this entire world,
113
00:07:30,350 --> 00:07:31,590
I've only ever found one person
114
00:07:31,590 --> 00:07:32,590
who was truly different.
115
00:07:33,629 --> 00:07:34,829
And yet she...
116
00:07:37,590 --> 00:07:39,590
will never be mine.
117
00:07:40,749 --> 00:07:41,470
Young Master,
118
00:07:42,629 --> 00:07:43,590
Ninth Young Lady
119
00:07:43,790 --> 00:07:45,030
is about to be married.
120
00:07:45,790 --> 00:07:46,990
Please let her go.
121
00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:51,230
I truly envy her.
122
00:07:52,110 --> 00:07:53,949
She can marry the man she chooses,
123
00:07:54,509 --> 00:07:56,590
defy convention and stand up
to her own father,
124
00:07:59,110 --> 00:08:00,829
and forge a future for herself.
125
00:08:02,990 --> 00:08:03,949
How could I
126
00:08:06,429 --> 00:08:08,030
ever let go of a woman like that?
127
00:08:09,590 --> 00:08:10,749
The Grand Empress Dowager
128
00:08:10,749 --> 00:08:12,590
praised Zhao Ling and Fu Tingyun
129
00:08:12,590 --> 00:08:13,350
for their filial devotion.
130
00:08:13,949 --> 00:08:15,110
And what did His Majesty say?
131
00:08:15,429 --> 00:08:16,429
His Majesty said
132
00:08:16,990 --> 00:08:18,990
the Grand Empress Dowager
was absolutely right.
133
00:08:19,590 --> 00:08:21,749
He even said the two were
more filial than Fifth Master Fu.
134
00:08:25,350 --> 00:08:26,710
That doesn't sound
135
00:08:27,309 --> 00:08:29,269
like a compliment.
136
00:08:52,789 --> 00:08:53,710
(A little to the left.)
137
00:08:53,710 --> 00:08:54,149
(Over here.)
138
00:08:54,149 --> 00:08:54,950
Let me see.
139
00:08:54,950 --> 00:08:56,470
That should be about everything.
140
00:08:56,470 --> 00:08:56,990
Hang them outside.
141
00:08:56,990 --> 00:08:57,629
All right.
142
00:08:57,629 --> 00:08:58,310
Take your time.
143
00:08:58,470 --> 00:08:59,549
You two, come here.
144
00:09:00,110 --> 00:09:00,509
(Coming.)
145
00:09:00,509 --> 00:09:00,909
(Here.)
146
00:09:01,029 --> 00:09:01,590
(This one.)
147
00:09:01,830 --> 00:09:02,509
(Easy.)
148
00:09:02,509 --> 00:09:02,830
(Okay.)
149
00:09:02,830 --> 00:09:03,710
(Put it up over there.)
150
00:09:06,110 --> 00:09:06,669
Biao.
151
00:09:09,590 --> 00:09:10,190
Sen,
152
00:09:10,789 --> 00:09:11,789
aren't you going to help?
153
00:09:12,549 --> 00:09:13,789
I'm not the one getting married.
154
00:09:16,629 --> 00:09:17,310
Sen,
155
00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:19,789
Mr. Zhao lost his parents
at a young age.
156
00:09:19,869 --> 00:09:20,789
According to custom,
157
00:09:20,869 --> 00:09:22,269
you, as his younger brother,
158
00:09:22,269 --> 00:09:23,509
must stand in for his father
and elder brother.
159
00:09:23,509 --> 00:09:25,190
Before the wedding, he must perform
the pre-wedding admonition rite.
160
00:09:25,710 --> 00:09:26,669
The pre-wedding admonition rite?
161
00:09:27,269 --> 00:09:28,430
Mr. Zhao has to bow to you three times,
162
00:09:28,430 --> 00:09:29,470
and you should advise him
as a father should.
163
00:09:29,470 --> 00:09:30,909
What? How can that be proper?
164
00:09:31,269 --> 00:09:32,470
Mr. Zhao bowing to me?
165
00:09:32,470 --> 00:09:33,430
That would be improper.
166
00:09:33,430 --> 00:09:34,909
The Thunder God would strike me dead!
167
00:09:35,509 --> 00:09:36,470
Then tell us,
168
00:09:36,830 --> 00:09:38,269
what exactly is your relationship
with Mr. Zhao?
169
00:09:38,470 --> 00:09:38,909
I...
170
00:09:39,869 --> 00:09:40,310
I...
171
00:09:40,789 --> 00:09:41,669
We're brothers.
172
00:09:46,950 --> 00:09:47,830
Miss Fu
173
00:09:47,950 --> 00:09:49,669
was raised in a family steeped
in learning and tradition.
174
00:09:49,830 --> 00:09:51,190
She cares deeply
about these old customs.
175
00:09:51,950 --> 00:09:53,350
If you really don't want to do it,
176
00:09:54,190 --> 00:09:55,549
go tell Mr. Zhao yourself.
177
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,748
(Virtue Blesses the Hometown)
178
00:10:02,749 --> 00:10:04,269
You are so good.
179
00:10:05,830 --> 00:10:06,549
This is
180
00:10:06,629 --> 00:10:08,110
a wedding gift I made myself.
181
00:10:08,549 --> 00:10:09,629
May your marriage
182
00:10:09,869 --> 00:10:10,830
be happy and blessed.
183
00:10:20,789 --> 00:10:22,509
When you marry Miss Fu,
184
00:10:22,950 --> 00:10:24,269
do I really have to be there
185
00:10:24,710 --> 00:10:26,110
for the ceremony to be complete?
186
00:10:31,869 --> 00:10:32,869
If you don't come,
187
00:10:35,669 --> 00:10:36,509
the wedding can still go ahead.
188
00:10:38,830 --> 00:10:39,990
It would just be a shame.
189
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:43,669
I mean, Miss Fu
190
00:10:45,350 --> 00:10:46,389
would be hurt.
191
00:10:46,990 --> 00:10:47,470
Well...
192
00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:50,590
That wouldn't be good.
193
00:10:51,230 --> 00:10:51,669
I...
194
00:10:52,350 --> 00:10:53,710
Anyway, I can't attend.
195
00:10:54,789 --> 00:10:56,629
Sen, you're not a child anymore.
196
00:10:56,950 --> 00:10:57,990
If you don't want to be close to me,
197
00:10:57,990 --> 00:10:58,909
I won't hold it against you.
198
00:10:58,909 --> 00:10:59,269
I...
199
00:10:59,470 --> 00:11:00,950
But she's looked after you
for all these years.
200
00:11:01,830 --> 00:11:02,710
If you don't come,
201
00:11:03,509 --> 00:11:04,990
wouldn't you be letting her down?
202
00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:08,350
An elder brother's wife
is like a mother...
203
00:11:08,350 --> 00:11:10,029
That's exactly my point!
204
00:11:10,389 --> 00:11:11,789
How can I let you two bow to me?
205
00:11:11,789 --> 00:11:12,110
I...
206
00:11:14,070 --> 00:11:15,310
Did that work?
207
00:11:16,070 --> 00:11:16,789
I don't care anymore.
208
00:11:18,190 --> 00:11:18,590
You...
209
00:11:19,990 --> 00:11:20,629
What are you doing?
210
00:11:20,629 --> 00:11:21,549
Let me finish bowing to you first.
211
00:11:22,070 --> 00:11:23,110
Then we'll be even.
212
00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:24,749
After I bow to you,
I'll go bow to Miss Fu too.
213
00:11:25,070 --> 00:11:25,869
As for the admonition rite, I...
214
00:11:26,350 --> 00:11:27,470
I'll reluctantly
215
00:11:27,470 --> 00:11:28,269
stand in for your elders.
216
00:11:32,070 --> 00:11:32,909
Get up.
217
00:11:36,990 --> 00:11:39,070
The admonition rite is when the groom
kneels to his parents.
218
00:11:39,669 --> 00:11:40,549
Kneel to the parents?
219
00:11:40,549 --> 00:11:42,190
I'm the one getting married,
so I'm the one who kneels.
220
00:11:42,990 --> 00:11:44,269
It's not your place to kneel.
221
00:11:45,710 --> 00:11:46,350
Chuan!
222
00:11:47,070 --> 00:11:48,149
This was your idea, wasn't it?
223
00:11:49,269 --> 00:11:50,590
Biao alone
224
00:11:52,110 --> 00:11:53,190
could never have fooled you.
225
00:11:56,509 --> 00:11:57,190
Mr. Zhao.
226
00:11:59,590 --> 00:12:00,389
There's
227
00:12:01,070 --> 00:12:02,029
one more thing.
228
00:12:03,190 --> 00:12:04,310
About Yucheng's death...
229
00:12:05,470 --> 00:12:06,470
I don't blame you.
230
00:12:08,590 --> 00:12:10,029
I let it go a long time ago.
231
00:12:12,310 --> 00:12:13,549
You're about to get married.
232
00:12:14,590 --> 00:12:15,749
Don't let me spoil the occasion.
233
00:12:46,869 --> 00:12:47,389
All right.
234
00:12:47,590 --> 00:12:48,470
I'm going to beat those two up now.
235
00:12:49,230 --> 00:12:49,950
Wait.
236
00:13:01,789 --> 00:13:02,990
Hit them hard.
237
00:13:10,110 --> 00:13:10,749
Chuan.
238
00:13:11,110 --> 00:13:12,029
I need to talk to you.
239
00:13:12,990 --> 00:13:13,749
Sen's here!
240
00:13:13,830 --> 00:13:14,710
Sen's here!
241
00:13:14,710 --> 00:13:15,350
It wasn't me!
242
00:13:15,909 --> 00:13:16,509
Get him first!
243
00:13:16,789 --> 00:13:17,190
Sen.
244
00:13:17,190 --> 00:13:17,710
You two dared
245
00:13:17,710 --> 00:13:18,389
to trick me?
246
00:13:18,869 --> 00:13:19,590
You think I'm an idiot?
247
00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:21,190
Don't run!
248
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,120
(Double Happiness)
249
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,260
(Double Happiness)
250
00:13:41,260 --> 00:13:44,200
(Double Happiness)
251
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:48,400
(Fragrant Lamps and Bright Candles;
Double Happiness)
252
00:13:57,190 --> 00:13:58,269
It's such a happy day.
253
00:13:58,269 --> 00:13:59,430
Why are you crying?
254
00:13:59,990 --> 00:14:02,230
After watching Miss Fu and Mr. Zhao
come this far,
255
00:14:03,789 --> 00:14:05,310
through all those hardships,
256
00:14:07,070 --> 00:14:08,509
they've finally made it
to their happy ending.
257
00:14:08,509 --> 00:14:09,149
I just...
258
00:14:11,110 --> 00:14:12,230
All right.
259
00:14:12,549 --> 00:14:13,869
You're too old to be crying like this.
260
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,960
(Double Happiness)
261
00:14:23,389 --> 00:14:24,590
With the grave relocation coming up,
262
00:14:25,149 --> 00:14:26,830
Father knows there's no hope
of returning to office,
263
00:14:27,149 --> 00:14:28,909
so he spends every day drowning
his sorrows.
264
00:14:31,710 --> 00:14:32,789
Your brother and I
265
00:14:32,869 --> 00:14:34,749
are planning to take the children back
to Huaying.
266
00:14:35,789 --> 00:14:38,110
We've dismissed all the maids
and servants we no longer need.
267
00:14:38,869 --> 00:14:39,509
So now,
268
00:14:39,749 --> 00:14:40,389
all these
269
00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:42,070
plants and household chores
270
00:14:42,470 --> 00:14:43,629
have been left unattended.
271
00:14:44,190 --> 00:14:45,230
Sorry you had to see the place
like this.
272
00:15:14,230 --> 00:15:15,310
In two days,
273
00:15:16,310 --> 00:15:17,669
Zhao Ling and I are getting married.
274
00:15:19,070 --> 00:15:21,990
You actually came to invite me?
275
00:15:23,310 --> 00:15:24,549
You've got some nerve.
276
00:15:24,990 --> 00:15:27,230
The invitations are for my mother,
brother, and sister-in-law,
277
00:15:31,869 --> 00:15:32,909
because I know
278
00:15:34,950 --> 00:15:36,029
you won't come.
279
00:15:53,470 --> 00:15:54,950
You two...
280
00:15:57,430 --> 00:15:59,310
One, a woman who eloped,
281
00:16:00,029 --> 00:16:02,230
the other, a rogue and a bandit.
282
00:16:02,909 --> 00:16:04,830
You married without our consent,
283
00:16:05,070 --> 00:16:06,990
and still had the nerve
to send me an invitation?
284
00:16:08,350 --> 00:16:09,509
As for your marriage,
285
00:16:10,669 --> 00:16:12,549
heaven and earth may allow it,
286
00:16:12,830 --> 00:16:14,669
but your father does not.
287
00:16:15,789 --> 00:16:17,749
So this marriage does not count.
288
00:16:29,629 --> 00:16:30,789
You are my father,
289
00:16:31,830 --> 00:16:33,230
and I owe you for giving me life.
290
00:16:33,350 --> 00:16:34,749
I came today
291
00:16:36,310 --> 00:16:38,590
because I still held on
to a foolish hope.
292
00:16:46,269 --> 00:16:47,990
My marriage to Zhao Ling
293
00:16:48,430 --> 00:16:50,110
has the Grand Empress Dowager
294
00:16:50,190 --> 00:16:51,350
giving us her blessing,
295
00:16:52,149 --> 00:16:54,389
and His Majesty personally
granting the marriage.
296
00:16:55,070 --> 00:16:56,830
So how, Fifth Master,
297
00:16:56,909 --> 00:16:58,629
does this become a marriage
against our elders' wishes?
298
00:17:10,589 --> 00:17:12,230
Bring Mother to attend the ceremony.
299
00:17:13,950 --> 00:17:15,190
In other people's eyes,
300
00:17:16,230 --> 00:17:17,990
you'll at least still have the title
301
00:17:17,990 --> 00:17:19,549
of Zhao Ling's father-in-law.
302
00:17:20,269 --> 00:17:21,749
Even if you can never return
to the office,
303
00:17:22,349 --> 00:17:23,509
in the years ahead,
304
00:17:24,230 --> 00:17:25,390
life will still be easier for you.
305
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:26,260
(Invitation)
306
00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:33,870
Zhao Ling's father-in-law...
307
00:17:40,950 --> 00:17:42,029
Let me tell you something.
308
00:17:42,789 --> 00:17:44,670
You didn't come here today
to deliver an invitation.
309
00:17:44,670 --> 00:17:46,230
You came to mock me!
310
00:17:49,910 --> 00:17:50,549
Fine.
311
00:17:50,950 --> 00:17:52,390
Let me tell you, Fu Tingyun.
312
00:17:52,829 --> 00:17:53,950
You listen carefully.
313
00:17:54,749 --> 00:17:56,069
I'll make this clear today.
314
00:17:56,589 --> 00:17:58,910
Even if I never return to office
in this lifetime,
315
00:17:59,349 --> 00:18:01,109
you are in no position to mock me!
316
00:18:02,190 --> 00:18:04,670
Whatever happens, I am still
your mother's husband
317
00:18:04,829 --> 00:18:06,910
and the head of this household.
318
00:18:07,349 --> 00:18:09,710
You want your mother
to attend your wedding?
319
00:18:10,309 --> 00:18:11,430
In your dreams!
320
00:18:11,870 --> 00:18:13,710
You will not see your mother!
321
00:18:13,710 --> 00:18:14,430
And I said so!
322
00:18:14,430 --> 00:18:15,509
You won't see her!
323
00:18:23,749 --> 00:18:26,029
Zhao Ling's father-in-law?
324
00:18:37,430 --> 00:18:38,789
If he won't let me see Mother,
325
00:18:38,789 --> 00:18:40,269
why can't I just force my way in?
326
00:18:40,509 --> 00:18:41,390
Ninth Young Lady,
327
00:18:41,509 --> 00:18:43,029
Fifth Madam specifically asked
328
00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:45,470
that you not quarrel with Master
over this.
329
00:18:45,470 --> 00:18:47,470
You and your future husband
have come too far
330
00:18:47,470 --> 00:18:49,190
to risk more trouble now.
331
00:18:49,509 --> 00:18:51,309
If you openly fight
with your own father,
332
00:18:51,630 --> 00:18:52,990
Madam will be the one
who suffers for it.
333
00:18:59,309 --> 00:19:00,150
Mother...
334
00:19:00,990 --> 00:19:02,069
I
335
00:19:02,069 --> 00:19:04,349
pledge the fortune of this life
and the next
336
00:19:05,069 --> 00:19:06,630
in exchange for my daughter Tingyun's
337
00:19:06,870 --> 00:19:08,230
marital bliss
338
00:19:09,190 --> 00:19:10,710
and a life free of hardship.
339
00:19:14,190 --> 00:19:15,589
Madam and your uncle
340
00:19:15,589 --> 00:19:17,630
have each prepared a dowry gift for you.
341
00:19:18,549 --> 00:19:20,749
Though Madam can't personally
see you off as a bride,
342
00:19:21,670 --> 00:19:23,630
you'll still have all the honor
and ceremony
343
00:19:23,950 --> 00:19:25,029
a bride deserves.
344
00:19:26,630 --> 00:19:28,549
This bridal sash is from Madam.
345
00:20:00,870 --> 00:20:02,870
I've chosen a young woman for you.
346
00:20:03,349 --> 00:20:04,509
She's attractive
347
00:20:04,630 --> 00:20:05,829
and gentle by nature.
348
00:20:06,349 --> 00:20:07,269
Why not
349
00:20:07,870 --> 00:20:09,630
take her into your household
as a concubine?
350
00:20:15,789 --> 00:20:18,069
A man should take a concubine
only if he is still childless at forty.
351
00:20:20,630 --> 00:20:22,309
I shouldn't give anyone grounds
to criticize me.
352
00:20:25,549 --> 00:20:26,349
Jingxiu,
353
00:20:27,069 --> 00:20:28,309
between mother and son,
354
00:20:29,150 --> 00:20:31,029
there's no need for such formal excuses.
355
00:20:33,069 --> 00:20:33,910
Back then,
356
00:20:34,309 --> 00:20:36,190
I chose the Fu family's Ninth
Young Lady for you
357
00:20:36,990 --> 00:20:38,509
because I thought she was best for you.
358
00:20:40,029 --> 00:20:41,749
You insisted on marrying Fan.
359
00:20:42,390 --> 00:20:43,509
Though I disapproved,
360
00:20:44,549 --> 00:20:46,190
I still let you have your way.
361
00:20:48,549 --> 00:20:49,710
But all these years,
362
00:20:50,789 --> 00:20:52,190
do you really think
363
00:20:53,390 --> 00:20:54,990
I don't know what's missing
in your heart?
364
00:21:01,150 --> 00:21:02,950
You and Madam Fan treat
each other with respect,
365
00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:06,549
but there's always been a distance
between you.
366
00:21:07,950 --> 00:21:09,910
I'm not so old-fashioned.
367
00:21:11,190 --> 00:21:12,950
If I hadn't seen how unhappy you are,
368
00:21:13,230 --> 00:21:14,990
why would I bring another woman
into your household?
369
00:21:18,029 --> 00:21:19,190
I only hope
370
00:21:20,789 --> 00:21:22,789
you won't keep grieving over
that magnolia.

That scoundrel

actually has the nerve to come.
384
00:23:21,749 --> 00:23:22,549
Grab your weapons.
385
00:23:23,829 --> 00:23:24,549
Shut the gates.
386
00:23:24,990 --> 00:23:26,109
If he dares force his way in,
387
00:23:26,109 --> 00:23:26,789
drive him out.
388
00:23:27,069 --> 00:23:27,749
Yes.
389
00:23:33,470 --> 00:23:34,069
Open the gate!
390

Open the gate!
391
00:23:35,509 --> 00:23:36,109
Open the gate!
392
00:23:36,749 --> 00:23:37,749
Open the gate!
393
00:23:37,749 --> 00:23:38,390
Open the gate!
394
00:23:38,870 --> 00:23:40,230

Hold the gate!

00:23:44,670 --> 00:23:46,230
If that bandit really breaks in,
401
00:23:46,230 --> 00:23:47,190
beat him back out!
402
00:23:47,190 --> 00:23:48,029
Beat him senseless!

Come on! I'll kill you!

Zhao Ling!
409
00:24:23,029 --> 00:24:23,950
You bandit.
410
00:24:23,950 --> 00:24:25,029
You wastrel!
411
00:24:27,549 --> 00:24:29,309
You dare use force to defy the law!
412
00:24:30,069 --> 00:24:31,910
The Fu family has upheld learning
and propriety for generations.
413
00:24:31,910 --> 00:24:33,029
As a fourth-rank official,
414
00:24:33,870 --> 00:24:34,710
you...
415
00:24:34,710 --> 00:24:35,589
break the law you serve.
416
00:24:35,589 --> 00:24:36,789
If you dare take one more step,
417
00:24:37,309 --> 00:24:38,390
I'll shoot you!
418
00:24:38,509 --> 00:24:39,150
Come on!
419
00:25:11,390 --> 00:25:12,269
Please forgive me, Mother.
420
00:25:12,670 --> 00:25:13,589
I understand
421
00:25:13,589 --> 00:25:14,910
you didn't want us to cause
any more trouble.
422
00:25:16,470 --> 00:25:17,630
But after everything that's happened,
423
00:25:18,430 --> 00:25:20,069
even if the whole world condemns me,
424
00:25:20,990 --> 00:25:22,150
I won't let you and your daughter
425
00:25:23,109 --> 00:25:24,269
carry this regret for life.
426
00:25:24,589 --> 00:25:25,910
Knowing you cherish her this much,
427
00:25:26,470 --> 00:25:27,749
I can finally rest easy.
428
00:25:29,069 --> 00:25:30,789
When I gave you the jade bracelet,
429
00:25:31,190 --> 00:25:31,990
part of me
430
00:25:32,470 --> 00:25:34,470
trusted that you were a good
and honorable man.
431
00:25:34,470 --> 00:25:35,589
The rest was a gamble.
432
00:25:36,430 --> 00:25:37,589
Looking at you now...
433
00:25:38,470 --> 00:25:39,789
Heaven has been kind to me.
434
00:25:40,390 --> 00:25:41,710
My gamble paid off.
435
00:25:42,950 --> 00:25:44,069
In my own life,
436
00:25:45,950 --> 00:25:47,390
my marriage brought me little happiness.
437
00:25:48,670 --> 00:25:50,269
I was weak by nature
438
00:25:50,749 --> 00:25:51,910
and failed
439
00:25:52,990 --> 00:25:54,349
to set a good example for my children.
440
00:25:55,509 --> 00:25:57,109
My only wish is that the two of you
441
00:25:57,589 --> 00:25:58,950
will always be of one heart
442
00:26:00,109 --> 00:26:01,470
and weather every storm together.
443
00:26:08,430 --> 00:26:08,910
Please.
444
00:26:10,549 --> 00:26:11,230
Stop!
445
00:26:12,349 --> 00:26:12,950
Zhao Ling.
446
00:26:13,109 --> 00:26:14,069
For what you've done today,
447
00:26:14,069 --> 00:26:15,470
the censors will impeach you
448
00:26:15,470 --> 00:26:16,349
and you'll be cursed by all!
449
00:26:17,390 --> 00:26:18,870
She belongs to the Fu family.
450
00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:20,150
If you insist on taking her,
451
00:26:20,670 --> 00:26:22,190
I'll kill her right now!
452
00:26:29,630 --> 00:26:30,950
Scumbag.
453
00:26:53,589 --> 00:26:55,190
Since you have no love or decency left,
454
00:26:55,190 --> 00:26:56,829
don't blame me for showing you none
in return.
455
00:26:59,910 --> 00:27:00,950
Biao. Chuan.
456
00:27:01,589 --> 00:27:02,990
Escort my mother-in-law home!
457
00:27:04,349 --> 00:27:04,829
This way, please.
458
00:27:06,029 --> 00:27:06,630
You...
459
00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:07,269
How dare you!
460
00:27:10,589 --> 00:27:12,029
If you walk out that gate today,
461
00:27:12,029 --> 00:27:13,349
don't ever come back!
462
00:27:14,470 --> 00:27:17,509
I've drunk horse blood and slept
among corpses.
463
00:27:19,069 --> 00:27:21,230
I've survived countless battles.
464
00:27:21,829 --> 00:27:24,109
Why would I fear the whole world
cursing my name?
465
00:27:40,190 --> 00:27:41,069
Careful, Mother.
466
00:27:43,549 --> 00:27:44,430
Tingzhuo,
467
00:27:44,670 --> 00:27:45,549
my sister is getting married.
468
00:27:46,150 --> 00:27:46,990
As her elder brother,
469
00:27:47,230 --> 00:27:48,269
how could I not see her
470
00:27:48,470 --> 00:27:49,390
into her bridal sedan?
471
00:27:53,589 --> 00:27:54,710
Thank you, Tingzhuo, Shen.
472
00:27:58,430 --> 00:27:58,990
Please.

Our wedding
482

will be grand.
483
00:28:23,269 --> 00:28:24,549
You'll have an eight-bearer
bridal sedan,
484
00:28:25,470 --> 00:28:26,630
with music and fanfare all the way!
485
00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:27,789
Mr. Zhao
486
00:28:27,910 --> 00:28:29,430
always keeps his word!
487
00:28:30,390 --> 00:28:32,430
Wonderful!
488
00:28:32,430 --> 00:28:32,789
What...
489
00:28:32,870 --> 00:28:34,309
What's gotten into Mr. Zhao?
490
00:28:37,069 --> 00:28:38,029
Those are all things
491
00:28:39,390 --> 00:28:40,829
he promised me before.
492
00:28:52,549 --> 00:28:53,749
(Double Happiness)
Today, I, Tingyun,
493
00:28:53,990 --> 00:28:55,069
bid farewell to my maternal family.
494
00:28:56,589 --> 00:28:58,069
First, I thank you, Mother,
for raising me.
495
00:28:58,069 --> 00:28:59,430
Second, I thank you, Uncle,
for all your help.
496
00:29:00,390 --> 00:29:02,230
There's no need to thank me.
497
00:29:03,349 --> 00:29:05,269
You're my own niece.
498
00:29:05,509 --> 00:29:06,309
Tingyun,
499
00:29:06,749 --> 00:29:07,589
remember this.
500

The Xie family
501
00:29:09,349 --> 00:29:11,069
will always be your home.
502
00:29:11,670 --> 00:29:12,950
After you marry Zhao Ling,
503
00:29:13,109 --> 00:29:14,589
being a good wife and raising children
504
00:29:14,589 --> 00:29:15,990
comes second.
505
00:29:17,269 --> 00:29:18,549
What matters most
506
00:29:19,670 --> 00:29:21,789
is that you take good care of yourself.
507
00:29:25,910 --> 00:29:26,470
Alright.
508

You came.

Where's Mother?
512
00:29:50,749 --> 00:29:51,470
Don't worry.
513
00:29:51,829 --> 00:29:53,269

Would you like
518
00:30:23,789 --> 00:30:25,309
to ride in a bridal sedan for once?
519
00:30:29,789 --> 00:30:30,910
Whether I wanted to or not,
520
00:30:32,230 --> 00:30:33,630
I've already ridden in one twice.
521
00:30:41,829 --> 00:30:43,710
Wonderful!
522

Good!

Come on, let's go!
531
00:31:03,549 --> 00:31:04,190
Let me see.
532
00:31:04,430 --> 00:31:05,269
What a celebration!
533
00:31:05,269 --> 00:31:06,549
It's Commander Zhao's wedding.
534

That's Miss Xie's bridal sedan.

What a grand procession.

Mother.
539
00:31:58,150 --> 00:31:59,309
Your husband loves you dearly.
540
00:32:00,910 --> 00:32:02,509
He didn't want you to have any regrets,
541
00:32:03,190 --> 00:32:04,710
so he brought me here especially.
542
00:32:06,349 --> 00:32:07,630
Mother, you trusted me
543
00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:10,230
and entrusted Tingyun to my care.
544
00:32:11,630 --> 00:32:13,150
Tingyun has stood by me
with her wisdom and counsel.
545
00:32:13,630 --> 00:32:15,029
I owe everything I've achieved today
to her.
546
00:32:18,749 --> 00:32:19,549
I, Zhao Ling,
547
00:32:22,549 --> 00:32:23,589
have always been alone,
548
00:32:25,069 --> 00:32:26,150
with neither father nor mother.
549
00:32:28,150 --> 00:32:28,829
Today,
550
00:32:30,950 --> 00:32:32,470
I wish to honor you as my own mother.
551
00:32:33,670 --> 00:32:34,670
True filial devotion
552
00:32:35,109 --> 00:32:36,430
can bind hearts more deeply than blood,
553
00:32:37,349 --> 00:32:38,710
and chosen family can be dearer
than kin.
554
00:32:40,950 --> 00:32:41,630
Today,
555
00:32:42,109 --> 00:32:43,190
I humbly ask you, Mother,
556
00:32:45,549 --> 00:32:46,670
to preside over our wedding.
557
00:32:48,589 --> 00:32:50,710
To honor chosen family
above blood itself...
558
00:32:50,789 --> 00:32:51,470
that is
559
00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:52,549
the mark of a true gentleman.
560
00:32:53,109 --> 00:32:53,910

00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,840
(Double Happiness)
565
00:33:20,509 --> 00:33:22,390
I commissioned a craftsman in Suzhou
566
00:33:22,749 --> 00:33:23,749
to make this riding tack for you.
567
00:33:24,309 --> 00:33:25,430
May you always
568
00:33:25,710 --> 00:33:26,829
ride a fine steed
569
00:33:27,430 --> 00:33:28,549
and rise to great heights.
570
00:33:32,829 --> 00:33:33,670
Thank you, Mother.
571
00:33:37,269 --> 00:33:38,069
Tingyun,
572
00:33:38,430 --> 00:33:40,390
besides your lavish dowry,
573
00:33:41,069 --> 00:33:42,749
there's one more special gift
574
00:33:42,749 --> 00:33:43,990
I want to give you.
575
00:33:47,990 --> 00:33:49,230
In this life,
576
00:33:49,390 --> 00:33:50,950
a surname is like the clothes we wear,
577
00:33:51,829 --> 00:33:53,109
only something others see.
578
00:33:54,549 --> 00:33:55,589
Whether Fu
579
00:33:55,589 --> 00:33:56,670
or Xie,
580
00:33:57,190 --> 00:33:58,109
it only tells
581
00:33:58,109 --> 00:33:59,150
where you came from.
582
00:33:59,470 --> 00:34:01,069
But your own name
583
00:34:01,470 --> 00:34:03,109
can speak to the path you choose
584
00:34:03,269 --> 00:34:03,910
and
585
00:34:03,910 --> 00:34:05,789
the person you wish to become.
586
00:34:06,109 --> 00:34:07,430
On this happy day,
587
00:34:07,749 --> 00:34:08,470
I
588
00:34:08,589 --> 00:34:10,029
would like to give you a courtesy name:
589
00:34:10,509 --> 00:34:11,430
Quanhui.
590
00:34:11,669 --> 00:34:12,549
Would you like that?
591
00:34:16,509 --> 00:34:18,589
May it mean a life blessed
with both fortune and wisdom.
592
00:34:24,470 --> 00:34:25,750
When you were born,
593
00:34:25,830 --> 00:34:27,669
your grandmother named you
594
00:34:27,669 --> 00:34:28,470
Tingyun.
595
00:34:29,589 --> 00:34:31,390
It meant that within the family home,
596
00:34:32,109 --> 00:34:33,709
all things would flourish.
597
00:34:35,830 --> 00:34:38,229
But I never liked that name.
598
00:34:38,709 --> 00:34:40,990
I never wanted your bright future
599
00:34:40,990 --> 00:34:43,149
to be tied to the fate of one family.
600
00:34:43,669 --> 00:34:45,709
I never wanted you to carry
such a heavy burden.
601
00:34:46,470 --> 00:34:47,470
All I wish
602
00:34:48,310 --> 00:34:49,629
is for you to live
as your heart desires,
603
00:34:50,390 --> 00:34:52,029
blessed with both fortune and wisdom.
604
00:34:59,509 --> 00:35:00,709
Thank you, Mother.
605
00:35:05,709 --> 00:35:06,790
The ceremony is complete!
606
00:35:07,069 --> 00:35:08,669
To the bridal chamber!
607
00:35:08,669 --> 00:35:13,790
Wonderful!
608
00:35:22,109 --> 00:35:23,910
It's been ages since we've seen
a celebration like this.
609
00:35:23,910 --> 00:35:24,910
Exactly.
610
00:35:29,109 --> 00:35:31,029
Miss Xie looks so magnificent today.
611
00:35:31,669 --> 00:35:33,669
She's like a fairy straight
out of a painting.
612
00:35:33,669 --> 00:35:34,430
Yes.
613
00:35:35,270 --> 00:35:36,189
Listen to you.
614
00:35:36,270 --> 00:35:37,589
You're still calling her Miss Xie?
615
00:35:37,750 --> 00:35:38,709
You should be calling her
616
00:35:38,709 --> 00:35:39,990
Madam Zhao now.
617
00:35:40,229 --> 00:35:41,390
Exactly.
618
00:35:42,950 --> 00:35:43,950
(Double Happiness)
For the past five years,
619
00:35:44,990 --> 00:35:47,310
thanks to your guidance, Madam Wang,
620
00:35:48,629 --> 00:35:49,430
Tingyun
621
00:35:49,790 --> 00:35:50,910
would always write
622
00:35:50,910 --> 00:35:52,470
home about you.
623
00:35:53,029 --> 00:35:54,149
Between every line,
624
00:35:54,390 --> 00:35:55,870
I could see your influence on her.
625
00:35:56,189 --> 00:35:57,069
Riding,
626
00:35:57,069 --> 00:35:57,830
studying,
627
00:35:57,830 --> 00:35:58,709
teaching...
628
00:35:59,029 --> 00:36:00,229
everything she learned
629
00:36:00,509 --> 00:36:02,470
was thanks to your careful guidance.
630
00:36:05,310 --> 00:36:06,149
It's just that...
631
00:36:07,029 --> 00:36:08,589
as her mother, I...
632
00:36:09,629 --> 00:36:10,430
Fifth Madam,
633
00:36:10,870 --> 00:36:12,029
please don't say that.
634
00:36:12,470 --> 00:36:14,470
Without you, her own mother,
635
00:36:14,470 --> 00:36:15,950
who gave her life
636
00:36:16,189 --> 00:36:17,549
and such strength of character,
637
00:36:17,669 --> 00:36:19,470
how could she have become
the woman she is today?
638
00:36:21,390 --> 00:36:22,629
The way I see it,
639
00:36:22,629 --> 00:36:24,669
Madam Zhao is who she is today
640
00:36:24,750 --> 00:36:26,669
because of both of you.
641
00:36:27,350 --> 00:36:29,069
One gave her life,
642
00:36:29,350 --> 00:36:31,029
and the other gave her a future.
643
00:36:31,470 --> 00:36:33,310
She couldn't have done
without either of you.
644
00:36:33,310 --> 00:36:34,149
Isn't that right?
645
00:36:34,149 --> 00:36:35,109
Absolutely.
646
00:36:36,029 --> 00:36:36,950
Come, everyone.
647
00:36:36,950 --> 00:36:38,669
Let's raise our cups
648
00:36:38,830 --> 00:36:39,790
and give thanks
649
00:36:39,790 --> 00:36:41,910
to heaven for blessing them
with this happy union.
650
00:36:42,149 --> 00:36:43,589
Congratulations!
651
00:36:43,589 --> 00:36:44,350
Lord Wei, please.
652
00:36:45,149 --> 00:36:46,390
Everyone, drink up.
653
00:36:51,270 --> 00:36:51,830
Zheng San.
654
00:36:56,350 --> 00:36:56,950
Everyone,
655
00:36:57,790 --> 00:36:58,589
today
656
00:36:59,350 --> 00:37:00,270
is my wedding day.
657
00:37:00,910 --> 00:37:02,830
Thank you all for honoring us
with your presence.
658
00:37:03,229 --> 00:37:04,790
If anything has been lacking
in our hospitality,
659
00:37:06,029 --> 00:37:06,990
I ask for your understanding.
660
00:37:07,509 --> 00:37:09,069
Congratulations, Mr. Zhao!
661
00:37:09,189 --> 00:37:11,950
Congratulations, Commander Zhao!
662
00:37:12,149 --> 00:37:12,750
Cheers!
663
00:37:16,149 --> 00:37:16,709
Cheers!
664
00:37:16,709 --> 00:37:17,149
Everyone,
665
00:37:17,870 --> 00:37:18,669
thank you for coming.
666
00:37:20,950 --> 00:37:22,229
I'm drinking.
667
00:37:26,189 --> 00:37:26,950
Here.
668
00:37:28,270 --> 00:37:28,950
Give it to me.
669
00:37:28,950 --> 00:37:29,549
Come on.
670
00:37:36,189 --> 00:37:36,870
Tingzhuo.
671
00:37:37,149 --> 00:37:38,189
Fill it up. All the way.
672
00:37:38,750 --> 00:37:39,589
I drink to you.
673
00:37:40,229 --> 00:37:41,750
After all these years
and all we've been through,
674
00:37:42,669 --> 00:37:44,069
we finally ended up as family.
675
00:37:45,470 --> 00:37:46,629
Thank you, both you and Tingyun,
676
00:37:46,950 --> 00:37:48,509
for forgiving a coward like me.
677
00:37:49,069 --> 00:37:49,549
Cheers.
678
00:37:50,790 --> 00:37:51,270
Cheers.
679
00:37:58,990 --> 00:38:00,069
I've made up my mind.
680
00:38:00,990 --> 00:38:02,229
Your sister-in-law and I
681
00:38:02,470 --> 00:38:03,589
are going back to Huaying.
682
00:38:03,589 --> 00:38:04,830
Maybe I'll farm,
683
00:38:04,830 --> 00:38:06,029
or open a small private school
684
00:38:06,069 --> 00:38:07,509
and teach.
685
00:38:07,870 --> 00:38:09,270
Either way, I don't intend to return
to the capital.
686
00:38:11,790 --> 00:38:12,750
Don't try to talk me out of it.
687
00:38:13,149 --> 00:38:14,109
I've made up my mind.
688
00:38:16,270 --> 00:38:17,069
This toast
689
00:38:17,830 --> 00:38:18,549
is to you.
690
00:38:19,910 --> 00:38:21,189
She's my only sister.
691
00:38:21,350 --> 00:38:22,109
From now on,
692
00:38:23,029 --> 00:38:24,229
I'm entrusting her to you.
693
00:38:25,189 --> 00:38:25,990
If
694
00:38:27,029 --> 00:38:28,950
you ever make her suffer
in the slightest,
695
00:38:29,509 --> 00:38:30,750
I'll travel day and night
696
00:38:31,189 --> 00:38:32,149
all the way from Huaying
697
00:38:32,149 --> 00:38:33,149
back to the capital
698
00:38:33,509 --> 00:38:34,750
just to teach you a lesson.
699
00:38:35,870 --> 00:38:36,950
You remember that.
700
00:38:45,750 --> 00:38:46,589
I will
701
00:38:48,069 --> 00:38:50,229
remember your warning well, Tingzhuo.
702
00:38:54,470 --> 00:38:55,830
What a joyful celebration!
703
00:38:56,029 --> 00:38:57,029
Quite a crowd too!
704
00:38:58,029 --> 00:38:58,790
Zhao!
705
00:39:00,270 --> 00:39:00,870
Zhao!
706
00:39:00,870 --> 00:39:01,270
Mo!
707
00:39:01,270 --> 00:39:02,270
Congratulations!
708
00:39:02,509 --> 00:39:03,270
Thank you!
709
00:39:03,709 --> 00:39:04,390
Commander Wang!
710
00:39:05,270 --> 00:39:05,910
Commander Wang!
711
00:39:05,910 --> 00:39:06,509
Zhao,
712
00:39:06,509 --> 00:39:07,629
we've been racing
713
00:39:07,629 --> 00:39:08,790
all the way back for you.
714
00:39:08,790 --> 00:39:09,950
We finally made it back to the capital
715
00:39:09,950 --> 00:39:10,790
before you entered the bridal chamber.
716
00:39:10,790 --> 00:39:12,390
Good thing we didn't miss your big day.
717
00:39:12,390 --> 00:39:13,390
You haven't missed a thing.
718
00:39:13,390 --> 00:39:14,470
Then we'll have a few extra drinks.
719
00:39:14,470 --> 00:39:15,990
That won't keep you from your bride,
will it?
720
00:39:17,229 --> 00:39:17,870
General Mo.
721
00:39:17,870 --> 00:39:18,629
Your timing is perfect.
722
00:39:18,629 --> 00:39:19,189
Commander Wang,
723
00:39:19,189 --> 00:39:20,790
you finally made it in time
to celebrate the wedding.
724
00:39:20,790 --> 00:39:21,270
Good!
725
00:39:21,270 --> 00:39:21,870
Commander Wang,
726
00:39:21,950 --> 00:39:22,629
please, take a seat.
727
00:39:22,629 --> 00:39:23,189
Tonight,
728
00:39:23,189 --> 00:39:23,750
let's drink till we drop!
729
00:39:23,750 --> 00:39:24,509
Please, Commander Wang.
730
00:39:24,509 --> 00:39:25,549
Please.
731
00:39:25,549 --> 00:39:26,430
No one leaves sober tonight!
732
00:39:26,430 --> 00:39:27,310
Come on!
733
00:39:27,310 --> 00:39:27,830
Come on!
734
00:39:28,109 --> 00:39:28,870
Fill them up!
735
00:39:28,870 --> 00:39:30,310
Tonight,
736
00:39:30,310 --> 00:39:31,270
drink to your heart's content!
737
00:39:31,270 --> 00:39:31,709
All right!
738
00:39:31,709 --> 00:39:33,109
Then no one leaves sober!
739
00:39:33,109 --> 00:39:34,629
You got it! Come on!
740
00:39:34,629 --> 00:39:35,470
Cheers!
741
00:39:35,470 --> 00:39:36,390
Master Zhao
742
00:39:36,589 --> 00:39:38,830
is close to Commander Zhao and his wife.
743
00:39:39,029 --> 00:39:40,310
Why isn't he here today?
744
00:39:40,310 --> 00:39:41,549
He's a man of spiritual cultivation.
745
00:39:41,549 --> 00:39:42,870
It wouldn't be appropriate for him
746
00:39:42,870 --> 00:39:43,950
to attend a worldly banquet like this.
747
00:39:44,149 --> 00:39:44,589
Right.
748
00:39:44,589 --> 00:39:45,390
It wouldn't be appropriate.
749
00:39:45,509 --> 00:39:46,189
Yes.
750
00:39:46,470 --> 00:39:47,189
That makes sense.
751
00:39:49,990 --> 00:39:51,029
Even His Majesty
752
00:39:51,509 --> 00:39:52,910
didn't send anyone with a wedding gift.
753
00:39:53,029 --> 00:39:54,310
Eunuch Lian isn't here either.
754
00:39:54,310 --> 00:39:54,669
Well...
755
00:39:55,430 --> 00:39:56,830
I haven't heard anything about that.
756
00:39:57,310 --> 00:39:58,069
Lord Wei,
757
00:39:58,189 --> 00:39:58,870
a toast to you.
758
00:39:59,470 --> 00:40:00,029
Cheers.
759
00:40:00,109 --> 00:40:00,669
Cheers.
760
00:40:23,270 --> 00:40:24,629
Go back where you came from!
761
00:40:25,430 --> 00:40:26,669
My mother may have brought you
into this household,
762
00:40:27,029 --> 00:40:28,270
but that doesn't mean I'll accept you!
763
00:40:43,260 --> 00:40:45,376
(Next Episode)
764
00:40:45,669 --> 00:40:47,350
(I gave you more than enough time.)
765
00:40:47,350 --> 00:40:48,589
(I gave you more than enough chances.)
766
00:40:48,589 --> 00:40:49,350
(You were the one)
767
00:40:51,069 --> 00:40:52,149
(who failed to make me love you.)
768
00:40:52,149 --> 00:40:54,270
The most urgent matter right now
769
00:40:54,270 --> 00:40:55,430
is the drought!
770
00:40:55,430 --> 00:40:56,470
If your delays
771
00:40:56,470 --> 00:40:57,790
leave us short of funds,
772
00:40:57,990 --> 00:40:58,470
I
773
00:40:58,910 --> 00:40:59,990
will hold you personally responsible.
774
00:41:00,109 --> 00:41:01,589
Zhao Ling was reprimanded in public.
775
00:41:02,029 --> 00:41:03,310
(Xie Residence)
They're newly married,
776
00:41:03,629 --> 00:41:04,910
and already this has happened.
777
00:41:05,509 --> 00:41:06,430
I wonder
778
00:41:07,149 --> 00:41:08,669
if she'll regret her choice.
779
00:41:09,149 --> 00:41:11,310
As long as he loses the Emperor's favor,
780
00:41:11,709 --> 00:41:13,149
our plan
781
00:41:13,310 --> 00:41:14,790
will succeed.
