[Murong Residence]

Qingyu.

Rest assured, Qingyu.

When the aviation school opens,

whether my father shows up or not,

I will be there.

Thank you.

If it puts you in a bind...

"Bear family burdens without complaint;

transcend self-interest in the clan."

You taught me this since I was little.

Have you forgotten?

Ali.

What's the deal tonight?

It's so secretive.

We couldn't even drive in.

Young Master,

please head in

and see for yourself.

Interesting.

Even Boze is out of the loop.

Today's banquet

was arranged by Mulan.

She decorated the courtyard.

Then I'll be sure to take a good look.

Do you recognize him?

Your Young Master Huo.

My master's hosting this banquet

just to let you catch up with him.

I left the Huo household a long time ago.

I've been honestly looking for work

to make a living.

Why must your master do this...

You did so many dirty deeds for the Huos.

Do you think your hands are clean

just after 2 years as a lawful citizen?

Don't worry.

For your sins,

the victims will naturally come for you.

My master isn't that nosy.

He's just giving you a choice.

You're over 50 now, and still

running around looking for work.

It must be tough.

Later at the banquet, you just need to

identify the murderer for my master.

Then, for the rest of your life,

you'll be well provided for.

Didn't they say cars aren't allowed in?

Laiyi.

Young Master Qingyu.

Who is this?

You are...

Hello, Young Master Zongqi.

I'm Li Cai, the butler of Yu Estate in Beicheng.

He's here.

What about the Huos?

He recognized Huo Zongqi at the door.

I haven't mentioned Miss Fang to him.

Okay.

Let's leave a surprise for the Huos.

If that butler really recognizes Miss Fang,

the Huos will probably kill her.

Have you thought it through?

Help me tie my apron.

Boze, you're here!

Come, come.

Come over.

A new dress?

That's right.

Don't I look pretty?

Very pretty.

You look 10 years younger.

I thought you were a movie star.

Oh, please.

Naughty.

Come on. Let's go

take a look over there.

Sure.

I never imagined the Murong residence

to have an area that exudes such Nanyang charm.

Your soon-to-be brother-in-law

really is hard to read.

I've never gotten involved

in business in Beicheng.

This Butler Li was

a servant

to my wrongfully deceased uncle.

He just looks familiar.

I don't understand

why Qingyi invited him.

Qingyu,

know anything about this?

Qingyi has always

been unpredictable.

But don't worry.

He knows where to draw the line.

He sure does know where to draw the line.

Qingyi said he wants

to give the Huos a surprise.

Could it be related to

that case from 3 years ago?

It's rare for us to gather for Qingyu's happy occasion.

Heaven forbid things get ugly.

Don't worry.

I believe in Qingyi.

I have something to do.

Excuse me.

You're about to be exposed.

Are you excited?

Do you want to be taken away by the Huos

and die from their unspeakable, disgusting methods...

or should I

mercifully

send you on your way?

Say something!

Since you think I must die,

I have a gift for you

in the drawer

in my room.

Stay right here.

Fang Mulan!

Come here!

That lady

looks familiar.

In the Huos' place in Beicheng...

That is a gift exclusively for you.

If I must die today,

I hope it will

always accompany you.

I hope it accounts for

those 3 years.

I have just one question for you:

Right now...

in this second,

you do like me...

don't you?

She clearly...

remembers everything.

Oh no!

Miss Fang fell into the water!

Somebody help!

Help!

Ren Susu.

How are you?

Feeling better?

Need me to get a doctor?

No need.

I feel much better.

I'll be leaving then.

Get some rest.

It's an emergency.

Might be an internal injury.

Okay.

I'll come to you as soon as possible...

Trying to run after being exposed?

Contacting your accomplice, huh?

Go ahead.

He's a famous doctor in the concession,

specializing in orthopedic rehabilitation.

I was inviting him to take a look at your hand.

It doesn't matter.

My hand can't hold a scalpel anymore,

but it's still very steady with a gun.

Who did it?

The Huos.

They think Huo Mingxi's death

was orchestrated by me.

So they hired someone to sever

my hand tendons in prison.

If the doctors in the concession can't fix it,

I'll find one for you in Nanyang.

I don't need your concern.

I'm a surgeon.

You think I can't tell if my hand

can be fixed or not?

Qingyi.

Be it the past

or the present...

I've never thought of hurting you.

Cover up.

Why are you crying?

Didn't you tell me

you were only ever using me?

Even if I'm disabled,

what does it have to do with you?

Whether I cry or not,

what does it have to do with you?

Forget it.

If you truly feel guilty towards me,

then don't bring this up again.

You still have

that gentian flower.

You lost it,

and I found it.

I didn't.

On the train then...

You clearly remember everything.

You frown too much now.

You didn't before.

Anyone locked up in prison for 3 years

would forget their past self.

I'm sorry.

Ren Susu,

is a word of "sorry"

the only thing you owe me?

I detest your innocent act

when you're full of schemes.

If you really cared about me,

how could you bear to

fake your death in front of me 3 years ago?

What do you plan to do about Butler Li?

Let me warn you, Ren Susu.

Behave and stay by my side.

No more tricks and crazy ideas.

It's your turn to experience

what it's like to be manipulated.

Otherwise,

Butler Li can

pay a visit to the Huos at any time.

[Huo Residence]

Butler Li?

Did you say Butler Li appeared at the Murong residence?

Yes.

I saw it with my own eyes.

You bet it's real.

What's Murong Qingyi up to again?

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

You chose not to attend the Murong banquet.

Now you blame me?

Butler Li's sudden appearance at the Murong residence

must be related to my father's death.

You should've grabbed Murong Qingyi

and interrogated him thoroughly.

Such a pretty face...

but such a stupid brain.

Huo Minxian, keep in mind that

you're just a loser from a collateral branch of the Huos.

You have no right to yell at me.

If you have the guts,

kill me.

You can go marry Murong Qingyi instead.

Do you still think your life

belongs to you?

Believe it or not,

I'll kill myself right in front of you.

Go on. Do it.

I'll make sure to take good care of your mother.

Then at least tell me

where

Butler Li is.

[Taixing Hotel]

Gentlemen,

please help me out.

Young Master Qingyi didn't need me last night.

I suppose I can't be of any help.

Could you relay a message to him for me?

Tell him I'm needed at home

and to let me go back to Feng'an.

Butler Li.

Young Miss Minxian?

Why are you in Nancheng?

Did you go back to the main house?

Miss Huo.

Stopping me?

I'm your master's fiancée.

Are you tired of living?

Did Murong Qingyi ask you to come to Nancheng?

What did he ask you to do?

He told me to identify someone.

It seems to be related to what happened 3 years ago.

Did you identify the person?

Last night at the banquet,

in the Murong residence,

I did find a woman

familiar.

Unfortunately, I didn't see her whole face.

If you saw her again,

would you recognize her?

Come with me.

Miss Huo.

No one can take him away

without Young Master Qingyi's order.

I don't care.

Let's see who dares to stop me.

Notify Young Master Qingyi now.

He went out of town for ancestral rites.

[Spirit tablet of the late respected father, Murong Feng]

Do you know how hard it is

for me to be the pillar of the family alone

with you gone?

Fortunately, Qingyu is excellent.

The Murong family will get stronger and stronger

in my and Qingyu's hands.

You can rest assured on the other side.

Just wait for me to join you.

Mother,

why isn't Boze here?

He was just promoted to inspector.

He's under close public scrutiny.

Letting a descendant of Ying Army members

come to the Murong ancestral hall to

pay respects to Cheng Army members

would raise eyebrows.

Mother, you're really thoughtful

of your dear son.

Mother,

we should let Father know

about Mulan and me too.

It's no hurry.

Miss Fang,

I'm afraid you don't know

the background of our Murong family.

Jinrui,

as the eldest sister,

tell Miss Fang

about our origins.

Yes, Mother.

Enshrined here are

the spirit tablets of the Murong family.

[Spirit tablet of the late respected father, Murong Feng]

Our ancestors migrated to Songjiang at the end of the Yuan dynasty.

With a history spanning several centuries...

Miss Huo,

why are you here?

Qingyi asked me to come.

Go in and look carefully.

If you see anyone suspicious,

point them out loudly.

Young Miss, aren't you making things difficult for me?

Everyone here, inside and out, is from the Murong household.

Once you're sure,

go back to the main house

to report it.

Let the Old Master

punish the Murongs for their sins.

Yes.

Compared to some upstarts outside,

our "meritage" is naturally exceptional.

What an illiterate.

Mind you, it's "heritage."

Your brain must

only be good for covering up for murderers.

Did you just make fun of me?

Miss Huo, you came uninvited.

What is this about?

Forgive me, Auntie.

I was baffled when I heard

that Qingyi is observing

the ancestral rites,

so I came to see the fun.

Since when is a man who killed his father-in-law

qualified to

play the role of filial piety and loyalty?

Have you lost your mind?

Qingyi

brought my butler

from Feng'an to Nancheng to identify someone.

Who was identified?

Don't you need to tell me?

What butler?

Why haven't I heard you mention it?

Mother is asking you a question!

-What are you doing behind our backs again? -Murong Qingyi.

I now suspect that

you're shielding your accomplice who killed my father.

If you know what's good for you,

hand the person over.

Where's your proof?

Miss Huo,

if you really can't bear to part with your paramour,

just call off the engagement.

Oh, I forgot.

Your paramour hasn't contacted you

since the theater incident, has he?

I understand that you're upset,

but this is the Murong ancestral hall.

Isn't it ridiculous

for you to make a scene here?

Don't change the subject.

I do like him.

So what?

Who do you think you are?

They say you belong to two families,

but really,

you're just a loser that neither family wants.

A dog unwanted by the Li family

scampered to the Murong family's door

to beg for food,

and now he's their second young master?

You killed my father,

yet you expect me to marry you?

On what grounds?

On the grounds that you're a shameless,

ignorant, and scheming

murderer

who was abandoned by his parents?

How dare you hit me?

Disrespecting

the ancestors and elders,

insulting your fiancé, and spreading rumors—

are these the manners your family taught you?

Who are you to chime in?

In terms of seniority,

I'm your elder sister-in-law.

In terms of status,

I'm the daughter of the Fang family in Nanyang.

It's not a matter of

if I dare to hit you,

but if I want to.

Butler Li already recognized you.

Aren't you afraid?

With me here,

don't be afraid.

With you here,

I'm not afraid either.

Miss Huo,

regarding your father's matter,

our two families already

reached a settlement 3 years ago.

Qingyi has paid the price

for his immaturity, too.

Today,

you came to the Murong ancestral hall

and insulted members of my Murong family.

If the Huo patriarch sent you,

then I'll consider it

an act of hostility

towards my Murong family.

Otherwise,

you slandered my brother...

I have a witness!

Butler Li can prove who the murderer is!

You finally remembered him.

Where is he?

Murong Qingyi,

what did you do to Butler Li?

Butler Li?

Did any of you see Butler Li?

-No. -No.

No.

You...

Are you all blind?

How can you allow this murderer

to publicly take a witness hostage?

When your father was alive,

at least several dozen,

if not a hundred, people

disappeared at his hands.

Miss Huo, have you forgotten?

So annoying.

How do you want to disappear?

I'll help you.

Qingyi.

Enough.

Get lost.

You unfilial son.

Kneel!

Qingyi.

You unfilial son.

I don't care about

what and how many shady things

you do outside.

But bringing those

filthy and sketchy things

into the ancestral hall? Unfilial!

Your incompetence

giving others leverage is unwise!

Resorting to threats

to chase Huo Minxian away

invalidates your stance, be it justified or not!

How did I give birth to

such a bastard?

Everyone walks alone in life.

Don't let others

drain your energy.

I don't deserve...

anything good, either.

Qingyu, you're noble and upright,

and Sister-in-Law, you're considerate,

unlike me,

who crawled out of the gutter.

A vicious woman like Huo Minxian

is my perfect match.

Even Huo Minxian knows that you

can't expect a son,

whom you birthed

but didn't raise, to turn out perfect.

Get your head out of the clouds.

You...
