The Legend of Fragrance

Episode 36

I fooled Xiao Ya Tai Lang

by pretending that I'm going to cooperate with him

to get the whereabouts of the fragrance recipe book from you.

That's why he gave me 2 hours.

Later,

rub this on your nose.

Xiao Ya Tai Lang...

Sorry then...

Stop!

Don't move!

Father...

Hui Zi,

you came just in time.

Hurry and kill Ning Hao Tian.

Spare An Qiu Sheng's life for now.

He still has use for us.

Father,

I can't kill anyone.

If my hands got soaked with blood, I won't be able to create wonderful fragrances anymore.

Hui Zi...

Drop the sword!

I'll let you two go.

Hurry.

Men!

Senior Brother!

Hurry and get up! Let's go!

- Go...- Go!

Go...

- Go!- Junior Brother...

- Get up!- Go quickly!

If you still don't go, the two of us will die together!

What are you saying?! If we are leaving, we are leaving together! Hurry and go!

Junior Brother!

I'm leaving Zhi Yuan to you...

Consider the greater good! Go!

Go!

Senior Brother! Senior Brother!

Go!

Go!

If you still don't go, it will be too late!

Give priority to the general situation!

How are his injuries?

He was injured gravely and lost too much blood.

His situation is very dangerous.

Then try hypnotizing him now.

His mind right now is weak.

He won't be able to resist your hypnotism anymore.

But...

if I hypnotize him now,

it will used up his remaining energy.

I'm afraid that he won't be able to survive until tomorrow.

Father, stop tormenting him already.

It's already this time.

You still worry about his life?

Hui Zi,

you already let An Qiu Sheng and has committed a big mistake.

Right now, immediately hypnotize Ning Hao Tian

to make up for your mistakes.

Stink Brat, you really are good.

You've finally smelled my father's scent.

Since that person has your father's scent,

it proves that he has intimately interacted with your father.

Maybe...

my father and your father and also Xia Chan must be in that house.

You think...should we call the police?

No way.

Police Bureau Chief is so corrupt.

Maybe he has already been bribed the Japanese.

We can't trust him.

Then what should we do?

You can't just bring all our male servants there

and forcefully get them back, right?

Saving people doesn't depend on numbers

but on outsmarting them.

How do you plan to outsmart them?

Have you forgotten that we are a family of fragrance makers?

Of course, it's to use our expertise, sedating fragrances.

But...

I'm not at ease to let you go alone.

How about I ask Brother An to help you.

No way.

I still don't believe him.

Are you still suspecting that he is the other demon king?

I still don't understand before

why he must compensate those 6 young girls that were kidnapped.

The reasons he gave me

are still not enough to convince me.

Anyway, I can't let you face danger alone

Since Older Brother can't go,

let me accompany you then.

Okay.

With you by my side,

I feel more at ease.

How is it?

Is the hypnotizing successful?

Right now, he is delirious.

His resistance to my hypnotism is greatly diminished.

I already followed your orders

and changed his memories.

Very good.

In your estimate,

how long can he still live?

I made him drink another bowl of ginseng soup again.

In my estimate,

he can still sustain 4 more hours.

That's more or less enough.

I also asked someone to draw Le Yan and the others here.

If it goes as I planned,

at midnight tonight, Ning Zhi Yuan will surely make his move.

No matter what,

we must let Ning Hao Tian be still alive when he sees his son.

Stinky Brat...

so sorry.

I also didn't want to sedate you.

But I can't bear

to let you come with me and risk danger.

Don't worry.

I will definitely come back to your side unharmed.

I'm not willing

to make you a widow

after you've just been a wife.

Father...

Father, wake up.

Wake up, father.

I am Zhi Yuan.

Father...

Zhi Yuan...

Right, father. I'm Zhi Yuan.

I'll carry you home right away.

Come.

It's too late.

Fragrance recipe book...

Fragrance recipe book...

What about the fragrance recipe book?

The fragrance recipe book is

in the interlayer of your mother's head accessories box.

Remember.

I'll remember it.

Father, don't worry.

I will definitely guard the fragrance recipe book well.

Father...

Who did this to you?

Was it those Japanese?

It's...

It's An Qiu Sheng.

An Qiu Sheng...

My Uncle?

He finally sought revenge

for Xue Yin with his own hands.

I finally...

can...

see Xue Yin now...

Father...

Father!

Father, you can't die!

Father! Wake up!

Father! Father!

Father...

Father...

Father, you said before

that I have a father but no mother to teach me.

Father...

it's me.

This...

Ning Zhi Yuan!

Careful cause it's hot.

Here's a silver coin.

Throw this silver coin in front of my mother's picture.

If the main side faces up,

it proves that mother is willing to forgive you.

We are still father and son.

If the back side faces up,

it means that my mother is not willing to forgive you.

From now on, we severe our ties.

I don't have a father like you anymore!

Only through death can I

resolve all the grievances from our generation.

Father, I'm not allowing you to die.

No matter what, you are still my father.

I only have one father.

Don't worry...

I definitely will find An Qiu Sheng.

and seek revenge for you.

Le Yan.

Zhi Yuan.

Le Yan.

Le Yan.

Le Yan.

Le Yan!

Le Yan!

Talk! How did my father die?

It's...

It's An Qiu Sheng.

Then where is he?

After killing your father, he escaped.

Nonsense!

How could you guys have let him escaped?

He had sedating fragrance hidden under his sleeves

and secretly placed it on the candle.

We inhaled his sedative

and we are unable to resist it.

He then escaped.

Our men went to chase after him.

That's why we were the only ones left here

and got caught by you.

Are you feeling better?

Better.

But...

my I still feel a little dizzy.

Maybe Zhi Yuan...

just doesn't want you go with him and risk danger

so put some sedatives on your food.

He still doesn't trust you.

He doesn't want you to come with him.

I initially planned to secretly call you and ask you to go with him.

But he...

It's too dangerous for him to go there alone.

I must go find him.

Hey...don't panic first.

Let's just talk about it once the drug effect has worn off.

But I can't be at ease with him going there alone.

Better to go there now.

Zhi Yuan!

Have you found your father and my father?

Brother An...It was me who told him to come here.

I initially planned to let him go with you in your search.

But you have already...

Young Master.

Have you found Master?

Take those 2 Japanese inside.

- Yes.- Yes.

Go!

Move!

Prepare for funeral.

Master!

Master...

- Master...- Zhi Yuan...

My father was killed by your father.

Master...

Tell me honestly.

Who killed Ning Hao Tian?

After society head kidnapped the two of them,

Ning Hao Tian refused to work with us.

But An Qui Sheng was willing to work with us.

Nonsense!

It's impossible that my father will agree to work with you.

He was lying to us.

Just pretending to agree first.

But after killing Ning Hao Tian,

he then escaped.

If you still don't say the truth,

don't blame me for being harsh with you!

Fine already!

Ah San,

take them away.

- Yes, Young Master.- Wait!

Maybe I can help you check if they are lying.

- To let them---- No need.

What's there to test still?

Take them away!

- Okay.- Yes.

Move!

- Everything that they said are false. Don't fall into their trap!- An Yi Chen...

What basis do you have to say that they are lying?

Only you know how effective your lie detecting technique is.

Maybe my lie detecting technique is not effective.

But I can be sure that what they were saying are all lies!

My father personally told me that the person who harmed him is An Qiu Sheng.

Could it be that you're also saying that my father is also lying?!

Zhi Yuan...

Did you father also say the same?

What?

Do you also want him to test me?

I don't mean it like that.

What I mean is...

when you arrived there, your father is already poisoned and unconscious.

- He...his mental state is already delirious.- What you're saying is that my father is wrongly accusing your father?

You need to calm down first.

Don't fall into the trap by the Japanese.

I clearly know how much your godfather hated my father.

Just to seek revenge, he can do anything.

He erased you childhood memories and made you a revenge tool.

What else can he not do?

Do you really believe that he will let my father go?

You are now the Eldest Young Master of the Wen Family.

With your godfather killing my father, he not only sought revenge for himself,

but also eliminated your Wen family's largest rival.

You must feel very satisfied now.

Could it be that in your heart, I am such an unbearable friend?

Friend?

Yes.

I'm not afraid of people taking a stab at me from the back.

But what I'm afraid of is when I turn around and discover that the person who stabbed me is my so-called friend!

Young Master...

I've finished setting up the funeral area.

May you and Young Madam...

go change into your funeral clothes.

No need for Young Madam to change.

What do you mean by that, Zhi Yuan?

Your father killed my father.

Letting you do vigil for my father,

I'm just afraid that my father and your father will both not allow it.

- Calm down a little, Zhi Yuan.- I'm very calm!

Right now, the Ning family has already waned.

While An Yi Chen is now the Wen family's eldest young master.

The two of us haven't had our first night yet.

You still have time to choose again.

Do you know how hurtful these words you said are?

After I left, the two of you secretly met up. Isn't that hurtful too?

Ning Zhi Yuan, you really misunderstood.

Enough already. Butler,

drive the two of them out.

I don't want to see them again.

Young Master...

Young Master!

Young Madam...

Young Master has already gave his orders.

I think that you should...

Le Yan...

You also know that Zhi Yuan and his father

are very close.

You also should try to understand him.

The death of father-in-law is too suspicious.

And also...

I again smelled Hui Zi's

stronger hypnotizing fragrance from Zhi Yuan's body.

The last words of Ning Hao Tian

definitely is suspicious.

It's possible that he and Xia Chan are the same,

got hypnotized by Hui Zi

and his memory changed.

That's why...

Ning Hao Tian in his dying words

would say...

that it was your father who killed him.

I also have the same suspicion.

Also...

my father must be in the hands of the Japanese.

You think they will...

They won't.

Father is a rare genius in fragrance making.

The Japanese Fragrance Society will not kill him

unless there's no other choice.

Bureau Chief, you are...

Just doing official business. Why are you here?

The Ning Family is currently having a funeral. Ning Hao Tian is dead.

What?

Ning Hao Tian is dead?

Zhi Yuan just found his corpse earlier. He definitely wasn't escaping to avoid his crimes.

He was kidnapped and later murdered.

What if he did deliberately escaped

and then after seeing that I'm looking for him everywhere, he committed suicide?

That can't be. I examined his corpse.

His lethal wound is on his back.

He definitely was killed by someone.

An Yi Chen, how come you seemed to have changed to a totally different person?

Doing everything now to defend Ning Hao Tian.

And also, I don't care how Ning Hao Tian died.

The case of him pretending to be the demon king and kidnapping young girls

is still not closed. I then must continue to investigate this case.

- Go!- Yes!

Young Madam, stop knocking already!

Without Young Master's instructions, we also wouldn't dare to open the doors.

Who's your Young Madam?!

I am the Police Bureau Chief Wang! Hurry and open the door!

Bureau Chief, do you need anything?

A witness reported that your Ning Manor is hiding an important evidence.

- Search it!- Yes!

- Go there to have a look.- Okay.

Young Master Ning, what's the number key for this safe?

This safe is my father's.

If Bureau Chief wants to know, I'm afraid you can only go to the underworld.

Young Master Ning is still so arrogant.

You still think that you're Mo Wang Ling's all-powerful little tyrant?

Let me tell you. With the grave crime that your father committed, maybe...

you also are involved.

- Reporting to Bureau Chief, we discovered a box.- Oh?

You must not touch that!

Young Master Ning, you better make clear of the situation.

Right now, we, the police, are doing our duty in compliance with the law.

You better cooperate.

We handle cases according to the law and will not use it to steal wealth from the citizens.

Look very well.

The jewelries in this box...

I'm now placing them here.

But...

this bronze box...

a witness reported that it's an important case evidence. We must take it with us.

No. This was left for me by my mother. No one can touch it!

Young Master Ning, don't move. If you move, I'll kill you.

- Pull the trigger then. If you dare, open fire!- Don't move!

You must not shoot! He didn't break any law so what basis do you have for shooting him?!

Let me handle this.

Zhi Yuan, you're the only son that your father have left. Please calm down.

I'm sorry, Bureau Chief. I'm sorry.

Young Madam Ning, you better convince Young Master Ning to refrain from obstructing official duties.

Or else...the bullet has no eyes.

- Let's go!- Yes!

An Yi Chen...

you finally obtained our Ning family's fragrance recipe book. You finally achieved your goal.

What fragrance recipe book are you talking about? I don't understand what you're saying.

Since you've already gotten the fragrance recipe book, stop pretending already.

My father placed the silk shirt where the half part of the fragrance recipe book was written in the interlayer of the jewelry box.

What investigation? You guys were clearly here for that box.

You let the police bureau chief be the bad guy while you do the good guy.

You two really acted a wonderful play.

Zhi Yuan, you're saying that the silk shirt that contained the other half of the fragrance recipe book is in that jewelry box?

Zhi Yuan listen to me. I don't know that the fragrance recipe book is inside that box and I don't understand what you're talking about.

Enough! Stop acting already!

No matter how good your acting is, I already am not interested to continue watching it.

My father has just died not long ago yet you already brought the police to cause trouble in his funeral.

Leave.

- I didn't!- Leave!

Older Brother really doesn't know anything. He wanted to stop the police earlier in the gates. It's just that he wasn't able to.

Older Brother?

If not because of him,

my father wouldn't have been arrested by the police.

My father would also not be killed by your father.

That's why, you get lost too.

Get lost!

Mr. Tai Lang, this is the item that you wanted.

Is that jewelry box really worth so much for Mr. Tai Lang to do all these?

I don't have other hobbies but to collect antique things.

Especially these Chinese handmade crafts, I really like them.

This is my little thanks.

Thank you. Thank you.

Mother has already went back to the Wen Manor with my father.

No one is currently living in the little farm house.

You can go back to Wen Manor with me first.

You wouldn't be planning to spend the night here, right?

No.

I won't go anywhere.

I don't believe that Ning Zhi Yuan wouldn't want me just like that.

I'm going to wait for him to change his mind here.

Okay. I'll accompany you here to wait.

No need, Older Brother. If Zhi Yuan sees that you kept staying by my side,

the misunderstanding will just get worse. You better just go.

Mother doesn't know yet what happened here.

If you keep not going home, she'll get worried.

No way.

If anything happened to you here, how can I explain that to mother?

Older Brother, no need to worry about that.

This, after all, is the Ning Manor. I'll be fine.

Okay.

Be careful on your own.

Butler, Lady is back!

Pei Shan!

Sister-in-law...

Father...

Pei Shan...enough already...

- Enough already, Pei Shan. Don't cry anymore. Don't be like this.- Young Madam...

Young Master.

Who let her in?

- It was Lady.- Who's the head of the Ning family now?

Of course, it's Young Master.

Brother, it was me who let sister-in-law in.

I feel that what sister-in-law said is reasonable. Father died suspiciously.

This thing most likely is related to the Japanese!

Zhi Yuan...

You won't allow me to keep vigil for father.

Then just let me light three incense for father.

No need.

I don't want my father to not be peaceful even in Heaven.

Zhi Yuan...you didn't personally see my father killed your father.

That day, when you brought your father back,

I smelled a heavy amount of hypnotizing fragrance from you.

I feel that this thing is very fishy.

Let me go back to our room and get some waking fragrance to let you smell so that you can calm down.

Go back to our room? Which room?

Your father killed my father.

From now on, the two of us have no connections anymore.

You are not allowed to enter our Ning Manor anymore!

Zhi Yuan...

You told me on our wedding day to forgive your father for killing my mother.

You said...that the person you are marrying is me.

The person who I'm marrying is you.

You said that we must not let the past generation's grievances affect our happiness.

But what about now?

Happiness? How are we going to be happy?

The vengeance for one's parents death is absolutely irreconcilable.

My father killed your mother. Your father killed my father.

Between us is a sea of grudges.

Sister-in-Law, don't blame my brother.

My brother just went through so much trauma so he can't calm himself down yet.

Don't you really want me anymore?

Let her go.

Sister-in-Law, why not go back to Wen Manor first?

Anyway, Eldest Mother has already went back. Go there first to wait for my brother.

When my brother has thought things clearly, he naturally will go find you.

Before Ning Hao Tian died, he clearly said that the fragrance recipe book

How come the one hidden in the interlayer of the jewelry box is a silk shirt?

Could it be that Ning Hao Tian wasn't hypnotized?

That can't be. If he's not hypnotized, he wouldn't tell Ning Zhi Yuan

that it was An Qiu Sheng who killed him.

Could it be that Ning Zhi Yuan did something

before the police got there and exchanged the fragrance recipe book that was in that box?

But Bureau Chief said that when he was taking the box away,

Ning Zhi Yuan's reaction is very strong and kept stopping him.

Could it be...that the fragrance recipe book is on the silk shirt?

But there's not one word on this silk robe.

Ning Zhi Yuan is a person that's difficult to deal with.

Right now, there's only one way left for us to get the fragrance recipe book.

What way?

Marry him.

Marry him?

Father, this method of yours is too absurd.

Only with this can you have the chance to stay at Ning Manor

and use hypnotizing fragrance on him in a long term basis.

Slowly hypnotize him to let him say the secret of the fragrance recipe book.

You not only must use the hypnotizing fragrance everyday on him to let him fall in love with you,

but you also must add a slow poison in this fragrance.

Once we got the complete fragrance recipe book, increase the poison dose.

Kill him without anyone knowing.

This way, not only the fragrance recipe book,

but the whole Ning family assets will become yours.

Father, Ning Zhi Yuan has already married Le Yan.

Could it be that you wanted me to marry a Chinese man that I don't love and be a concubine?

Ning Zhi Yuan, right now, has already firmly believed that it was An Qiu Sheng who killed his father.

Le Yan has already been driven out of the Ning Manor by him. This is a good chance.

But Zhi Yuan and I have always treated each other as brother and sisters.

I don't love him and he also would never love me.

Even if he doesn't love you, he hates An Qiu Sheng.

We can use the stronger effect hypnotizing fragrance to increase the hatred in his heart.

To let him ask us for favors just to be able to take revenge.

Ning Zhi Yuan's will is very strong.

I'm afraid that he might not be controlled by my hypnotizing fragrance.

How can one's will compete against one's lust?

Wen Shi Xuan also has a strong will.

But deep in his heart, he hides a great lust for fame and fortune.

Every time we meet up with him, you use hypnotizing fragrance to worsen the lust in his heart.

That's why, right now, he has already gone way too deep.

Ning Zhi Yuan is also the same. As long as you can grab hold of the hatred in his heart,

he also won't be able to escape our grasp.

Humans will always have some sorts of fault and weakness.

Then in father's heart, what is my fault and weakness?

Is it my love for Yi Chen-kun

or my love for you?

Hui Zi, don't use this kind of gaze in looking at me.

I also don't want to use you.

But...I really don't have any other way.

I must get the fragrance recipe book. I must get the No. 1 World's Fragrance Maker golden trophy

at the World Fragrance Competition. Please, I beg you.

What if I refuse?

Then I will surely kill An Yi Chen.

Father...are you blackmailing me?

You should know that this is not blackmailing.

If not because of you, I had already killed An Yi Chen.

If you want to protect his life, then you must help me fulfill my wish.

Father...

Child...don't be sad.

After Zhi Yuan finish handling his father's matters at home,

he surely will quickly come and fetch you.

Mother...say...why must I marry?

After marrying, you get to have so many troubling matters.

If I can be just like before, always being by yours side,

how good will that be?

Stupid girl...

How can one stay at home forever to be with his mother and be an old maid?

Zhi Yuan is a good child and he is sincere towards you.

It's just that recently, a lot of things happened in his family.

From being a kid, he know must become a man and bear all his family's responsibilities.

He can't accept it immediately.

You must give him more time to let him adapt to these changes.

But he never was like this before.

I feel that he changed a lot.

Changed into someone that I almost don't recognize anymore.

Zhi Yuan is a smart kid.

It's just that recently, he's being bewitched my the Japanese.

I believe...that after a few days,

he will surely understand it.

Hope so.

But mother, I still want to go find Older Brother and discuss things with him.

I'll go now then.

Eldest Brother...

Where did you go?

I...I went to the fragrance workshops.

You're still lying to me. Did you meet up with Xiao Ya Tai Lang?

Yes. They were the ones who invited me.

You're still having communications with the Japanese?

What are you thinking?!

You think I'm willing? Xia Chan is still in their hands.

When they invite me, what can I do?

This Ning Zhi Yuan kept denying that the last 6 young girls

were kidnapped by Ning Hao Tian. He even spread words that there is another demon king in our Mo Wang Ling.

You only will fall deeper and deeper if you are like this.

Ning Zhi Yuan was able to repent for his father sins.

How come you can't have the courage to?

Because we are not the same.

This Ning Zhi Yuan has always been a gangster,

a little tyrant. He has always been shameless.

Can I be the same as him?

I am Mo Wang Ling's no. 1 genius.

I can't risk our Wen family's reputation and my reputation.

Eldest Brother, you also know how much father gives importance to reputation.

Previously, he was able to drive out Eldest Mother.

If he knew about the truth, he surely will also drive me out.

- But..- Stop saying but already.

What the Japanese wants to deal with are the Ning Family and An Qiu Sheng.

They are both our enemies. Just let them kill each other.

How can you be so muddlehead?

Now that there's a foreign enemy in front of us, we should work together to resist the foreigners.

Yet you want the Japanese to kill our fellow countrymen?

You're the one who's muddlehead, Eldest Brother.

You treat them as fellow countrymen but do they treat you as such?

Have you forgotten how An Qiu Sheng kidnapped you?

How did he use you?

How many sufferings did he bring our Wen Family?

I feel that this kind of person deserves to die. Better if the Japanese kill them all.
