The Legend of Fragrance

Episode 20

Hey! Stinky girl, why did you take the blame?

You have fallen in love with me, haven't you!

How did you open my safe?

Dad, I actually never wanted to read this fragrance book.

But who told you to hide Mother's portrait and not allow me to see it.

So I went into the study to take a peek at Mother's portrait

I got anxious when you suddenly came back. I didn't want to get scolded so I hid.

Then I saw you input the combination to the safe

Then I opened this safe a read the fragrance book.

You thief!

Even thought you don't know anything about perfumes, but you must know of the books importance!

Dad, I was always the family heir. The book would eventually fall to my hands.

What does it matter if I saw it now or later.

You still can't tell the formulas to an outsider!

Outsider?

Dad, stinky girl isn't an outsider.

She is my future wife, your future daughter in law. How is she an outsider?

Le Yan, are you really willing to marry Zhi Yuan?

If you agree

then everyone will be a family.

I'll forget about the fragrance book.

Or else, not only Zhi Yuan will receive punishment,

I also won't forgive you.

Stinky girl, don't hesitate any longer. Marry me.

You won't be disappointing. Look at me, I have a proper head and feet.

Besides, I'm smart, kind, and treat you well.

Other than me, there will be no other that will like you.

I can't marry you

because I have someone I like.

So that's how it is.

Then I will satisfy your wishes.

Don't blame me for being heartless.

Even if you kill me, I will not marry him.

Fine then.

Dad!

If you want to kill Le Yan, then kill me first.

-Let go! -No!

Do you have any shame? She already loves someone else! She'd rather die than marry you!

Yet you keep protecting her. Are you even a man?

Yes! I don't have shame! I'm not a man!

Dad, I was the one to showed Le Yan the fragrance book,

but Le Yan didn't even want it. She burned it in front of my eyes!

Dad, if you want to blame someone then blame me.

Go! Hurry and leave!

Block her!

Who dares come closer!

Leave!

Y-young master! Young master...

If you move, I'll kill myself.

Young master, don't be angry anymore.

Father, I'm sorry. I am willing to get punishment.

A San! Didn't you eat? Hit harder!

Stop.

Zhi Yuan, do you know you are wrong?

Le Yan's heart is not on you.

What's the use even if you use the fragrance book to lure her?

If she reveals the book to anyone else, do you know what the consequences are?

Dad, even though Le Yan doesn't love me,

but she won't betray me.

She won't ever reveal the fragrance formulas to anyone.

You believe him? Dad is an experienced man.

Dad knows exactly how a woman protects a man he loves

and how she's heartless

towards a man she doesn't love.

She definitely won't care about your feelings.

Sooner or later she'll reveal the book's contents to her lover.

Zi Yuan, don't be fooled anymore!

Dad promises to leave Le Yan's body intact.

You don't have to see her happily in another man's arms.

No. Dad. I'd rather watch Le Yan happily in another man's arms

than watch her die in my arms.

You!

Beat him!!!

Just beat him to death! Hit him!

Ning Hao Tian, I disappointed you.

I beg you. I beg you to let Qiu Sheng go.

Xue Yan! Xue Yan!

Xue Yan!

Where's the fragrance? Xue yan, you can't be without the fragrance!

The fragrance is gone!

Stop it!

Are you alright?

Stinky girl, why did you come back? Are you sick of living?

I don't want to. For you, just now

I won't leave. No only now, but forever.

Lord Ning, this is all my fault. Not Zi Yuan's

I shouldn't have used his feelings to get Ning family's fragrance book.

But I swear, I won't let other people deceive me

To make you feel assured, I'd rather not marry and stay at Ning Manor as a gardener my whole life.

For real?

For real.

If I turn back, you can kill me with your bullet.

You aren't lying to me? Really?

What? Le Yan got the fragrance book but she won't give it to me?

That's right.

I think Le Yan's feelings toward Ning Zhi Yuan have changed.

How can it be like this

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this.

She loves me because she thinks it was me who saved her on the cliff.

She keeps saying that she hates Zhi Yuan,

but it seems like she always has some feelings for him deep down.

Even she cannot fight it.

Yi Chen-kun!

Yi Chen-kun! Something's wrong!

What happened?

Something happen to Le Yan. Why don't you go take a look?

Alright

-What? -Put it on.

Ouch, I can't. If I move, my whole body hurts.

I want you to help me put it on.

Shameless.

Put your arms up.

Oh.

You're finally softening towards me.

Aren't you suspicious that I'm faking it again?

You're already hurting like this and you're still smiling.

I'm telling you, don't misunderstand.

I didn't agree to stay in Ning Manor because I like you. It's because I think you're pretty loyal.

Oh, so if you feel loyal to me, then it must mean you don't feel love for the other guy anymore.

If you don't marry forever, your lover may be hurt.

Oh, what a pity.

You sound pretty happy for someone who just got beat.

Of course. If I'm not happy then I'm a liar.

It's too exhausting to be a liar. I'd rather be an honest man.

I really want to have a few drinks and sing a few songs.

Hey, don't move around.

Do you like a good boy?

-Crazy. I'm going.-Hey!

Where are you going?

What does that have to do with you?

I didn't take my medicine yet.

Sit.

Sit.

Alright, drink your medicine young master.

Here…Drink, drink.

Talk with me.

Talk about what?

The words you say are either useless or crazy words.

I advise you to go rest and heal your wounds.

It's too boring to rest in the middle of the day. Just talk with me for a bit.

Fine what do you want to say. I'll listen.

If I say it, you can't be angry and just leave.

Don't worry. Before you get better I won't leave you.

That's good.

I want to ask… who's the one in your heart?

Why do I have to tell you?

Even if you don't say it I know. It's An Yi Chen, right?

I guessed correctly, right?

Hey, I don't understand. Where do I not compare to An Yi Chen?

I not uglier or stupider than him. I treat you better than him.

Why don't you like me?

Liking someone doesn't need to compare.

It's just an instant feeling.

Fine, tell me, when did you start to like him?

Why should I tell you?

Because I want to know.

Since I suffered a back whipping for you.

Alright. Then I will tell you.

It's when big brother An fell down the cliff.

At that instant, I didn't want to do anything else other hand hold him and hug him,

and to be with him forever.

You mean the guy who saved you from the Devil was An Yi Chen?

Right. So do you see now how stupid you are for comparing yourself to big brother An?

Although he was wearing a mask, I could stilll tell that it was big brother An, not you.

Based on what do you think he is the one who save you and not me?

Because he wore the shoe I made for him.

Shoes?

How is the shoe broken?

Brother Yi Chen, my shoe's broken. Let me wear yours.

Your shoes is pretty comfortable. Who made it for you?

Stinky girl. That night happened like this!

Okay, okay, stop making things up.

You know, I want to laugh and get mad at the same time.

Don't try to use any more tactics to get what you want, okay?

Do you know, the good feelings I have for you will slowly

turn into disappointment.

That night when big brother An was trying to save me, he almost lost his life.

But he will never personally tell me, or anyone else.

He will only silently care for me in t he background.

I've already promised myself.

I will never betray him my whole life.

So, I can only choose not to marry my whole life to keep my promise and to be loyal to you.

Alright.

I won't say anything. Stinky girl. Time will reveal

the true person who will use any method to have you.

Ok, bye.

Why didn't you go in?

I didn't need to.

It looks like the danger's passed. I should have known that with Ning Zhi Yuan,

Le Yan won't be in trouble.

Then why do you look so sad? Jealous?

Who's jealous?

I'm only worried that if Ning Zhi Yuan gets Le Yan, it'll affect my plan for revenge.

If you want to break Le Yan and Zhi Yuan's relationship, it's very simple.

What ideas do you have?

Don't Chinese people have 36 plans? Plan 11: the discord plan.

Subtitles by The Aromatic Team @Viki

Zhi Yuan, dad knows how a woman

is protective over a man she loves,

and how heartless she is towards a man she doesn't love.

No, dad, I'd rather watch Le Ya

be happy in another man's arms, rather than watch her die in my arms.

The human heart is nothing but flesh. In the past, I treated you like my true brother.

But you still stole the woman I loved. Don't think that by giving me teacher's fragrance book

you can take away the humiliation and pain I've suffered!

Brother, I know you won't ever forgive me.

But if time could turn back, I'd still elope with Xue Yin!

Shut up!

If you keep saying the things I don't want to hear, I'll beat you to death!

For Xue Yin, I can give up my life.

I can become someone's teacher. There's nothing I fear.

Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!

Brother! Love is irreplaceable.

It cannot be substituted nor passed on. Technically, Xue Yin and I did nothing wrong.

But why can't it be you who forgets your unrequited love?

Compared to our true love?

You won't give up until you die!

With the likes of you, eloping with Xue Yin, turning her into a wasted person.

Is that how you love her?

To have to follow a poor bastard like you,

is that loving her?!

I can let her live happily.

Live happily everyday.

You can't do that. Never.

What do you mean?

I heard Su Yun say that you burned half the fragrace book my father left you.

That's right. I was irrational to have done that.

My dad put in so much hard work to make that!

Now, I've rewritten the rest of the book on this silk robe.

With this, you can become the most famous perfumer in the world.

The words? Why are there no words?

These words were written with a special ink made of flower fragrance.

So, the words will only show if you use my special essence.

What is the meaning of this?

Very easy, as long as you let us three go,

I will give the essence to Su Yun. When she confirms that my family is safe,

she will teach you how to make the words appear.

Xue Yin, do you know how sad I felt after you said these words?

I loved you so much, but you were always protecting him!

Can it be that you have only ever seen me as a nuisance?

Hao Tian! Calm down!

I'm sorry to you.

But I think love is like a perfume.

Some essences can complement each other when mixed together,

and create a magical fragrance.

Yet others, even if you put them in the same bottle,

They will still never come together. Do you understand?

Le Yan, did Ning Hao Tian make it hard for you?

I'm fine.

Sorry, Brother An. I can't marry you.

Because I promised Lord Ning that I'd stay at Ning Manor for the rest of my life as a gardener.

Never marry.

Hui Zi already told me hat happened.

I understand your hardship.

You have feelings for me, but is loyal to Zhi Yuan. This was your only option to keep both love and loyalty.

But I'm telling you, but doing this you're falling into their trap.

You mean that Ning Zhi Yuan is only pretending to be hurt?

He's lying to me?

There's an old saying that even the most vicious tigers don't eat their cubs.

Even if you didn't go back, Ning Zhi Yuan would have been okay.

They were betting on your kind heart.

Now that you've complied, they've won the bet.

Le Yan, were you fooled by Zhi Yuan?

I... I wasn't.

I'm telling you. We've already confirmed that Ning Hao Tian is the Devil.

What?

Ning Hao Tian is the Devil?

What evidence do you have?

Hui Zi hypnotized the Ning Manor's housekeeper. The Housekeeper admitted to it.

The flower girls kidnapper is indeed Ning Hao Tian.

He's collecting the girls' body fragrance to create an unique fragrance.

Hui Zi was just going to ask where t he flower girls are,

but you accidentally interrupted them.

Hui Zi jiejie!

Le Yan meimei.

It's miss Le Yan.

You mean that day Hui Zi jiejie was hypnotizing the housekeeper,

and she really knows how to do hypnosis?

Hypnosis isn't a myth,

but a real method to control someone's mind.

Hui Zi and I learned it in Japan.

People under hypnosis cannot lie.

That's why everything the housekeeper said was real.

We have proof that Ning Hao Tian is indeed the devil.

Why didn't you guys tell me something so important?

You've caught everyone's attention now. I didn't want to endanger you more.

Ning Hao Tian is the Devil.

Then... what about Ning Zhi Yuan? Does he know? Is he helping him?

That's hard to say. We're still investigating.

But Ning Zhi Yuan gave you the fragrance book so soon,

and took such a hard punishment for you.

I still think it was planned by the two of them

to trick you into marrying Ning Zhi Yuan. By then you'd become an accomplice too.

I'm already the original heir of the book. Sooner or later it'll be in my hands.

You still can't just give the formula to an outsider!

Outsider? Dad, stinky girl isn't an outsider.

She's my future wife, your future daughter-in-law. How can she be an outsider?

Le Yan, do you really want to marry Zhi Yuan?

If you do, then we'll be a family.

And I'll forget about the fragrance book.

If not, not only will Zhi Yuan be harshly punished, but

I won't let you off the hook either!

Ning Hao Tian did make me marry Ning Zhi Yuan.

But can Ning Zhi Yuan be lying to me too?

Le Yan, after seeing the fragrance book Ning Zhi Yuan gave you,

have you figured out how to cure Hui Zi's illness?

I practiced using the formulas in the book,

but...it's still not right.

That's right.

Do you understand now? Why Ning Zhi Yuan gave you the fragrance book so soon.

Because that fragrance book was never complete.

Incomplete?

That's impossible. The formula book Ning Zhi Yuan gave me can't be fake.

The fragrance book isn't fake.

But in the past, Ning Hao Tiao destroyed the fragrance book once before in a fit of rage.

After the book was reassembled, half was missing.

And the rest of the book was written on a silk robe

with a special flower essence by Master Xian's only daughter, Xiang XueYin.

This silk robe must be sprayed with the special essence to reveal the rest of the book.

Then the silk robe with the rest of the book is...

Of course, it's still in the hands of Ning Hao Tian.

He knows that even if Ning Zhi Yuan gives you that half of the book,

the Ning family won't suffer any consequences. That's why he let you go.

Or else judging by Ning Hao Tian's temper, even if you blackmail him with his own son,

he still won't let you leave Ning Manor.

Is everything you've said the truth?

Would you rather believe the Ning family than your own teacher and brother An?

No, of course I believe you. It's just...

Just who taught you how to make this fragrance?

Who is your teacher? He's my junior, An Qiu Sheng, right?

How did you know such a secret?

Teacher, just who are you? How do you know so much about the Ning family?

Le Yan, don't forget your promise to me when I agreed to be your teacher.

Don't worry about who I am. Don't tell others that I'm your teacher.

Fine. Of course I'll keep my promise and not betray you.

But Lord Ning keeps saying that I must have a teacher.

And Lord Ning's junior is called An Qiu Sheng.

Do you have a past relationship with Lord Ning?

Is Lord Ning the reason why you and brother An wants to solve the Devil case?

Le Yan! Stop asking so much!

It doesn't matter what the past is. It also doesn't matter why I'm helping Dr. An.

This is my privacy. The thing you must understand

is that Ning Hao Tiao is very likely the Devil.

Everything Ning Zhi Yuan has done is very likely a trick!

I understand.

I'll keep a close eye on them.

Le Yan. You smelled two people's scents on the carriage where Chun Miao disappeared.

But you never smelled them again in Ning Manor.

I suspect that they're hiding in Ning Manor's workhouse.

Can you help us make Ning Zhi Yuan take you to their workhouse?

To see if youcan find anything.

Ning Manor Perfume House.

Subtitles by The Aromatic Team @Viki

Put those over there.

-Young Master. -Young Master.

-Young Master.-Work hard.

Hey, stinky girl, why did you suddenly have the interest to visit the Ning family workhouse?

I heard that you were going to inspect the workhouse today, but seeing as you haven't recovered, I'm taking care of you.

Stinky girl, you've earned some conscience.

I never thought our workhouse would be so extravagant.

You've never been here before?

To be honest, this is the first time visiting our workhouse.

Oh... No wonder your dad always says you don't do any work and only plays everyday.

Then if you keep doing that, how are you going to uphold your family business once it's yours?

That's not my fault! Who told my parents to give a good looking but dysfunctioning nose?

When I come the the workhouse I can't smell anything. I don't want the workers to laugh at me.

Then why did you want to come here today?

Today my dad's going to the flower fragrance conference, so he wanted me to take a look.

I didn't want to come, but since you asked me to come with you, if course I agreed.

-Young master.-Young Master.

Stinky girl, what are you smelling?

Nothing.

So that's how essence is extracted. It smells so good!

No matter how good it smells, I still can't smell it. But I'm sure it smells like you, extremely stinky.

You're the stinky one.

Hey! What are you smellin for?

Even if I tell you, you won't know because you can't smell anything.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Stinky girl, where are you going? Hey, why are you ignoring me again?

Hey, hello. Have you seen two guys with flowers?

One of them is this tall, his hair a bit white.

You're talking about Ah Fa and Ah Cai. They're over there burning the flowers.

Oh, then have they always been working at Ning Manor?

Yeah, they've been working here since they were children. It's been over 10 years now.

Thanks.

Young Master.

Stinky girl, what's wrong? Why do your mood change so fast?

You expression looks even worse than your stench.

You stay here to play by yourself. DO your job properly, I'm leaving.

How can you leave when you want to?

Le Yan, what are you thinking about?

Brother An.

Did you find anything in the workhouse?

Why is her attitude toward me changed again? She like becoming hot and cold.

-She must be...AH!-Young Master!

Careful. Your wound is healing.

If you are not careful, it will rip apart.

Ah San Ah Si,

do you think that too many coincidences have been happening at the Ning manor?

First Pei Shan gets chosen to marry the Devil,

then I kidnap Le Yan's carriage, but someone sends a letter to the Wen family.

This is clearly trying to fuel the fire between our two families.

Hey, young master, this is kindof strange.

-I'm suspicious of one person. - Who?

-Young Master!-Young Master!

I can't believe myself. How can I suspect my own bro?

Young master, do you suspect Dr. An?

That can't be.

Even though my nose is useless, but there's nothing wrong with my eyes.

I believe Yi Chen can't be the villain. Although he stole my credit for saving Le Yan,

but maybe he was troubled.

Beside he has nothing against us, Ning family. He has no reason to plot against us.

Now do you l believe me? Those two work at Ning's family.

This proves Ning Hao Tian is the devil.

I will think of a way to get those two, then get a answer

to solve this case.

When the case is solved, I'll go to your mother and ask for your hand in marriage.

But I swore not to leave the Ning Manor, and stay

as their gardener.

Ning Zhi Yuan is clearly tricking you.

He's trying to fool your affections.

Brother An, I actually thought about it.

Even if Ning Hao Tian is the devil,

Ning Zhi Yuan may not know. Or else he wouldn't have brought me to his house

and won't have let me see those two.

Why are you still believing him at this state?

I just don't think we have enough proof yet.

I don't want to make such a judgement too soon.

Brother An, you go search about those two and

I'll try to go to Fu Tang's secret house to see if there really are girls there.

Only when we uncover all the clues and have all the proof,

then I can rest my heart.

Okay.

But just by confirming the two brats were Ning Manor's people

can't break the case yet.

I'll keep searching for those two brats. But you must be more careful.

Ning Hao Tian must have eyes and ears at Fu Tang.

So, you have to be careful everywhere you go.

Don't worry. Today Ning Hao Tian went to ShangHai for the flower fragrance conference.

So tonight is the best time.

Master, a few days ago, I spread word

that you were going to Shang Hai for the flower conference.

Le Yan must have received this news too.

Great. Well done.

Whether or not Le Yan is following An Qiu Sheng's orders

and whether she's staying at Ning Manor or Zhi Yuan or other purposes,

we will seen find out tonight.

Shrine

Shrine

Hey!

Hey, little brat, what are you doing here?

So you're interested in my dad's shrine as well?

Let me tell you. You're dead. You're really dead.

If my dad finds out you sneaked into the shrine,

it'll be much worse than when he found out you knew about the fragrance book.

But it's okay he went to Shanghai. No worries.

I'll leave first.

Ayo, actually Pei Shan and I are both really interested in this shrine.

I remember when we were playing hide and seek, Pei Shan just hid here

and my dad suddenly appeared behind her. She fainted on the spot!

Suddenly appeared?

But when Pei Shan woke up, not only did my dad not comfort her,

but he scolded both of us.

He said we weren't allowed to enter the shrine anymore.

It was the first time that my father was that angry at us.

So no matter how curious we were, we never entered the shrine again/

Are you saying when you got in here, you did not see your dad?

Then how did he get in?

Don't know.

Could it be that there is another place to hide in here?

Can't be.

What is there to hide from here?

But I definitely smelled it from here.
