00:01:31,340 --> 00:01:32,228
=Road to Splendor=

2
00:01:32,252 --> 00:01:34,940
(Adapted from the novel of the same name
by Zhi Zhi of Yuewen Group)

3
00:01:35,020 --> 00:01:37,820
=Episode 30=

4
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:39,080
What is this?

5
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,319
I have taken care of my adopted sister
for more than ten years.

6
00:01:41,399 --> 00:01:43,319
He also grew up together
with your daughter since childhood.

7
00:01:44,199 --> 00:01:46,839
Today, I dared myself
asked Mr. Wang for permission.

8
00:01:47,279 --> 00:01:48,520
Hope you can
agreed to this marriage.

9
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:50,160
Why so suddenly?

10
00:01:51,919 --> 00:01:53,440
Why didn't you tell me first?

11
00:01:53,919 --> 00:01:54,839
I...

12
00:01:56,119 --> 00:01:57,119
So, is he the one?

13
00:01:58,720 --> 00:01:59,319
Correct.

14
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,319
I think it's quite good.

15
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,080
About my daughter's wedding,
his mother decides.

16
00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:07,399
Quickly ask Madam to come here!

17
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:09,399
Sir,

18
00:02:10,559 --> 00:02:14,159
I still have other things
that need to be discussed with you.

19
00:02:15,719 --> 00:02:17,520
Marriage and death matters
is a household matter.

20
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:20,279
He deliberately avoided both of us.
What does he want to do?

21
00:02:21,599 --> 00:02:25,119
Recently, he became
increasingly impatient

22
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,719
to compete
with Grand Secretary Yu

23
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:29,920
so I want to ask for help

24
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,159
Mr. Wang.

25
00:02:34,430 --> 00:02:36,960
As long as Zhao Ling is firm,

26
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:38,550
North West of course
will side with him.

27
00:02:40,879 --> 00:02:42,119
What makes me unhappy is

28
00:02:42,559 --> 00:02:44,100
maybe he does
make my daughter's wedding

29
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:45,520
as a bet
to show his determination.

30
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,599
What are you doing? Get up.

31
00:02:54,159 --> 00:02:56,800
North West is
the source of Lord Ninth's power.

32
00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:59,640
I really can't
saw him alone without help.

33
00:03:00,119 --> 00:03:01,520
Please Madam agree to the marriage.

34
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:09,599
Get up first.

35
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:19,399
I know, since coming to the capital,
he's getting more and more stubborn.

36
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,760
You can't persuade him either.

37
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,599
But now, he and the North West
support each other.

38
00:03:24,399 --> 00:03:26,520
If one party moves,
it could affect the whole situation.

39
00:03:27,399 --> 00:03:31,559
Let's see
what will happen next?

40
00:03:37,839 --> 00:03:39,200
Foodstuffs passing through Longxi

41
00:03:39,399 --> 00:03:40,839
(Sincerely, Li Mao)
definitely reduced by 20 kilograms.

42
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,279
Soldiers guarding supplies

43
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,080
write with their blood.

44
00:03:47,399 --> 00:03:50,159
Every time you pass a post, a sack
food reduced by 20 kilograms.

45
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:52,599
While supervising the delivery
supplies for years,

46
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:55,719
Li Mao changed this shortcoming
to shrink warehouse inventory.

47
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,599
He couldn't have done all this
alone without leaving any gaps.

48
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,530
After investigating it secretly
for many years,

49
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,960
I just found out that he is
very close to the Yu Group.

50
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,480
I brought all the evidence to the capital

51
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,599
because I want to look for opportunities
to launch an attack

52
00:04:11,879 --> 00:04:13,360
that hits the target straight away.

53
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:15,300
(Food goods passing through Longxi)
Officially, this has been the North West camp

54
00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:16,359
(definitely reduced by 20 kilograms)
receive provisions and wages

55
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:21,159
3,000 tons more than recorded
in the Ministry of War.

56
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,479
However, the soldiers at the border

57
00:04:25,159 --> 00:04:26,799
still hungry.

58
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,599
Given this evidence,
I can prove it

59
00:04:31,359 --> 00:04:33,239
that the Yu Group was using a pretext
northwest warehouse inventory shrinkage

60
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:34,839
to commit embezzlement.

61
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,080
May these bloody clothes
can reveal the truth,

62
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:46,399
nor is it a waste of suffering
the Northwestern soldiers during this time.

63
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:49,640
You guys ask
about the North West's attitude.

64
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:54,440
Here's the answer.

65
00:04:56,399 --> 00:04:58,320
These are bloody clothes
belonging to the border soldiers.

66
00:04:58,919 --> 00:05:00,279
These are letters
Li Mao's correspondence

67
00:05:00,479 --> 00:05:01,300
(Master Zhang, Former Imperial Guard)
with Yu Group

68
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:01,880
(in the capital)
before.

69
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,799
The evidence is irrefutable.

70
00:05:07,239 --> 00:05:10,440
You want to start taking action
from warehouse inventory shrinkage?

71
00:05:14,239 --> 00:05:18,520
However, if you lose,
is the same as perishing.

72
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:23,760
However, if we win,
you can experience great progress.

73
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,680
Grand Secretary, last night Zhao Ling

74
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,520
take away
Li Mao case case file.

75
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,000
Indeed, there was no oral testimony
really strong,

76
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,919
but there is handwriting
Li Mao in it.

77
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,440
A few years ago,
we once exchanged letters with him.

78
00:05:38,719 --> 00:05:41,719
In fact, Young Master Yu also...

79
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:47,910
Since that is
old things from several years ago,

80
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:49,520
I didn't pay much attention to it.

81
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,399
This time, Zhao Ling was sudden
reopening Li Mao's old case.

82
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,359
I'm afraid he already is
have a mature plan.

83
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:00,200
Tomorrow, Zhao Ling will definitely
will launch an attack.

84
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,239
Is the Grand Secretary
have a way to solve it?

85
00:06:04,159 --> 00:06:05,599
Currently, the state treasury is empty.

86
00:06:06,159 --> 00:06:07,599
The emperor is more concerned
money rather than people.

87
00:06:08,719 --> 00:06:10,479
If successful, drop
a big corruptor,

88
00:06:12,239 --> 00:06:14,000
what harm would it do to the Emperor?

89
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:28,440
Ministers, would you like to
submit a report today?

90
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,440
I want to report.

91
00:06:34,359 --> 00:06:35,440
What is it?

92
00:06:36,239 --> 00:06:38,159
The servant begged the Emperor
to allow the servant

93
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:42,320
resigned from office
and return to my hometown.

94
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:56,719
Emperor,

95
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,120
Grand Secretary Yu is young and strong.
He is a pillar of the country,

96
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:02,839
as well as important officials
who led the salt reform.

97
00:07:04,399 --> 00:07:06,120
His current retirement application

98
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,120
really unnatural.

99
00:07:10,479 --> 00:07:12,919
Official Yu, what do you mean by that?

100
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,560
I feel guilty.

101
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,080
Servant failed to educate
servant's son well.

102
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,279
When studying
in Huaying County,

103
00:07:22,279 --> 00:07:25,399
servant's son, Jingxiu,

104
00:07:26,359 --> 00:07:30,799
secretly in a relationship
with the teacher's daughter, Mrs. Fan.

105
00:07:31,919 --> 00:07:34,919
In order to prevent his wife from talking about it
arranged marriage with the Fu Family,

106
00:07:35,479 --> 00:07:37,719
maybe he does
do something outrageous.

107
00:07:37,719 --> 00:07:38,839
He was in cahoots with a scholar

108
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,000
and ruin your good name
Ninth Miss Fu

109
00:07:42,719 --> 00:07:46,320
who is now Mr. Zhao's wife.

110
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:56,719
It turns out there is a case like this.
This is the first time I've heard it.

111
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:02,000
To save yourself from trouble,

112
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,120
he even had the heart to ignore it
his own biological son.

113
00:08:04,479 --> 00:08:06,560
Grand Secretary Yu
sacrificing Young Master Yu this time

114
00:08:07,159 --> 00:08:10,120
perhaps to avoid punishment
for embezzlement of supplies

115
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:11,880
under the pretext of depreciation
warehouse inventory.

116
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,719
What does Official Zhao mean?

117
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,239
Previously, Li Mao used
pretext for shrinking warehouse inventory

118
00:08:17,399 --> 00:08:18,640
to darken
Northwest military supplies.

119
00:08:20,479 --> 00:08:22,200
We already have
evidence in the form of bloody clothing.

120
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,080
This problem is related
with Grand Secretary Yu.

121
00:08:25,799 --> 00:08:27,560
Today, Grand Secretary Yu
move first

122
00:08:28,359 --> 00:08:32,320
to act unreasonably
and obscure the facts.

123
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:35,080
Please the Emperor judge wisely.

124
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,440
Since then, supplies

125
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,440
and Northwestern military salaries
related to salt matters.

126
00:08:38,680 --> 00:08:39,839
When this case occurred,

127
00:08:39,839 --> 00:08:41,719
it still exists
under the authority of Grand Secretary Yu.

128
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,280
Servant brings bloody clothes
belonging to the border soldiers,

129
00:08:44,599 --> 00:08:46,479
as well as letters between Li Mao
and related officials

130
00:08:46,639 --> 00:08:49,479
from several years ago
as evidence.

131
00:08:49,680 --> 00:08:50,440
Bring it here.

132
00:08:53,719 --> 00:08:57,119
Emperor, a bloody outfit
and several letters

133
00:08:57,239 --> 00:08:58,960
is goods
whose origins are unclear.

134
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:00,759
This is definitely a
attempts to trap and slander.

135
00:09:00,999 --> 00:09:05,719
According to the servant,
Master Zhao just wants revenge.

136
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:07,800
Grand Secretary Yu
very clean and honest.

137
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:10,359
How can you harm
state interests for personal revenge?

138
00:09:10,359 --> 00:09:14,440
- Please the Emperor judge wisely.
- Please the Emperor judge wisely.

139
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:20,119
Emperor, these blood clothes
indeed belonged to the border soldiers.

140
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,359
Then, does Mr. Wang know about it?

141
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,440
- Please the Emperor judge wisely.
- Please the Emperor judge wisely.

142
00:09:30,639 --> 00:09:32,200
The border continues to be ravaged by war
for many years,

143
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,960
but the soldiers
even lack of food.

144
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,639
Please the Emperor judge wisely.

145
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,759
Who doesn't know that you
come from the Northwestern military camp?

146
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,879
You're medium
protect your own people.

147
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,440
In my opinion, you just want to drop
Grand Secretary Yu

148
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:47,879
and hindered salt reform.

149
00:09:48,759 --> 00:09:49,440
Huchen.

150
00:09:51,999 --> 00:09:56,479
- Please the Emperor judge wisely.
- Please the Emperor judge wisely.

151
00:09:56,680 --> 00:09:57,960
Grand Secretary Yu was slandered.

152
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:03,359
- Please the Emperor judge wisely.
- Please the Emperor judge wisely.

153
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:07,119
- Official Yu.
- Ready, Emperor.

154
00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:08,320
Not you.

155
00:10:21,839 --> 00:10:22,599
Ready, Emperor.

156
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,839
Official Yu, is there any
what do you want to say?

157
00:10:43,839 --> 00:10:48,280
Think carefully before speaking.

158
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:02,639
Everything Grand Secretary Yu said

159
00:11:06,599 --> 00:11:08,160
that's right.

160
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,479
In the past, servants indeed
once slandered Mrs. Zhao.

161
00:11:13,719 --> 00:11:15,400
However, when carrying out inspections
in Ganlin,

162
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:19,359
I started to admire him
and offended Mr. Zhao.

163
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:21,639
Since entering the capital,

164
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,440
Master Zhao considered
servant as enemy.

165
00:11:26,440 --> 00:11:27,440
Grand Secretary Yu

166
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:30,960
really got involved in this matter.

167
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:32,719
Servant

168
00:11:36,119 --> 00:11:37,519
feel ashamed as an official

169
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:48,879
and child.

170
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:52,440
Servant is ready

171
00:11:56,639 --> 00:11:58,320
resigned

172
00:12:02,999 --> 00:12:04,479
and waited for the Emperor's decision.

173
00:12:10,999 --> 00:12:15,200
Please the Emperor not to investigate
Li Mao's old letters.

174
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:20,400
Due to my personal feelings,

175
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:23,960
in every letter,

176
00:12:26,599 --> 00:12:27,999
servant always mentions Madam Zhao.

177
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:30,839
He is married.

178
00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:34,680
Servant really shouldn't
defaming his good name again.

179
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:46,879
Servant

180
00:12:48,759 --> 00:12:49,440
ready

181
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:52,440
dead

182
00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:56,280
to beg the Emperor for mercy!

183
00:12:58,759 --> 00:13:00,320
- Young Master Yu.
- Don't.

184
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,160
- Young Master Yu, don't.
- Young Master Yu.

185
00:13:03,599 --> 00:13:04,400
Jingxiu.

186
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:05,999
Don't.

187
00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:07,479
Jingxiu.

188
00:13:08,359 --> 00:13:08,879
Enough.

189
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:15,440
I see, you guys look like you
no work.

190
00:13:16,560 --> 00:13:18,920
This is the trial hall!

191
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:26,560
The trial is over.

192
00:13:26,839 --> 00:13:28,440
The trial is over.

193
00:13:28,719 --> 00:13:30,839
- Servant escorts the Emperor.
- Servant escorts the Emperor.

194
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,599
I, Yu Guodong, failed to educate
my son is fine.

195
00:13:45,839 --> 00:13:48,800
I came specifically to apologize

196
00:13:49,119 --> 00:13:52,920
for tarnishing the owner's good name
Xie's Jewelry Shop, Mrs. Zhao.

197
00:13:53,560 --> 00:13:54,440
Extraordinary.

198
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:55,580
Current Grand Secretary

199
00:13:55,580 --> 00:13:56,800
until you apologize
to an ordinary woman.

200
00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:58,560
This woman is truly honorable.

201
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,960
Do you know who Mrs. Zhao is
to make the imperial examination champion

202
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,110
crazy about him
for years?

203
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:05,519
Come on, let's take a look over there.

204
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:07,479
(Xie's Jewelry Store)
His sincerity was this big.

205
00:14:07,479 --> 00:14:08,759
If Mrs. Zhao doesn't accept it,

206
00:14:08,839 --> 00:14:10,280
he really didn't know
appreciate people's kindness.

207
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:12,560
No wonder he was mentioned
bringing bad luck to his parents.

208
00:14:12,680 --> 00:14:14,680
They just got married.

209
00:14:14,999 --> 00:14:17,440
I guess, their relationship
definitely not harmonious.

210
00:14:19,719 --> 00:14:20,440
He's out.

211
00:14:36,479 --> 00:14:37,719
In Huaying long ago,

212
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:39,759
my son has had it many times
be impolite.

213
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:41,960
I came to apologize today.

214
00:14:42,719 --> 00:14:45,920
Please Madam accept
this is not much of a gift.

215
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,119
Arrival of Grand Secretary Yu

216
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,200
make our little shop
feels very honorable.

217
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:52,719
We welcome you with pleasure.

218
00:15:13,479 --> 00:15:14,759
Ninth Miss Fu,

219
00:15:15,639 --> 00:15:18,160
first if you married my son,

220
00:15:18,719 --> 00:15:22,119
means today, you should
call me Father-in-law.

221
00:15:25,479 --> 00:15:29,160
Every time my wife mentions you,
he always praised your intelligence.

222
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,350
He even regretted that he couldn't do it before
persuade our son to marry you.

223
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,230
I didn't dare hope that high.

224
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:37,470
Currently,

225
00:15:38,719 --> 00:15:40,119
I am already Mr. Zhao's wife.

226
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,599
Correct.

227
00:15:45,239 --> 00:15:47,759
We should have
become a very close family.

228
00:15:47,759 --> 00:15:49,160
However, unfortunately Zhao Ling

229
00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,359
too hasty
and not as calm as you.

230
00:15:52,639 --> 00:15:55,800
He's been working hard
get to the position you are in now,

231
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,879
but instead he fought tooth and nail
to defend a woman.

232
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:07,560
Can Mrs. Zhao advise him?

233
00:16:11,519 --> 00:16:15,119
Grand Secretary Yu is already draining enough
thoughts at the palace hearing today.

234
00:16:15,479 --> 00:16:20,680
Now, you don't need to bother
playing the same charade again.

235
00:16:21,759 --> 00:16:25,320
Everything Zhao Ling did was purposeful
to lighten the Emperor's burden.

236
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:27,999
Even though it clearly is
investigation of corrupt officials,

237
00:16:28,479 --> 00:16:30,239
why Grand Secretary Yu

238
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,239
even said it
to defend a woman?

239
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,719
I'd like to ask,
Do you know the meaning of greed?

240
00:16:47,759 --> 00:16:48,719
Mrs. Zhao,

241
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:52,560
someone who uses various methods
to gain wealth and power

242
00:16:53,599 --> 00:16:58,599
easily, not called greedy.

243
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,839
However, someone who uses
various ways

244
00:17:01,839 --> 00:17:05,400
to gain wealth
and real power

245
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:10,799
not worthy of him,
then it's called greedy.

246
00:17:21,519 --> 00:17:22,999
Try to judge for yourself.

247
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,920
Between me and Zhao Ling,
who is greedier?

248
00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:35,120
Turning hostility into peace
better than being crushed together.

249
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:41,999
If you have to
confront directly,

250
00:17:42,719 --> 00:17:44,600
it is only the weak who are destroyed,

251
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:47,640
not a strong party.

252
00:17:49,279 --> 00:17:50,239
Moreover,

253
00:17:51,319 --> 00:17:52,880
with what is already
you got it today,

254
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,880
it should be you
don't mind this.

255
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,680
If not, you won't escape either
from the word greedy.

256
00:17:59,239 --> 00:18:02,519
A grand secretary
really good at arguing.

257
00:18:03,719 --> 00:18:05,079
Unfortunately, that's just a false argument.

258
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,799
In today's chaos,
we are not relatives

259
00:18:12,799 --> 00:18:13,960
so it's not a problem.

260
00:18:15,999 --> 00:18:19,999
However, you and Yu Jingxiu are...
blood family.

261
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,840
You actually exposed his disgrace
in front of everyone

262
00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:25,999
and put it into ruin.

263
00:18:26,759 --> 00:18:29,120
You're really good at talking.

264
00:18:39,759 --> 00:18:40,840
Make way.

265
00:18:49,559 --> 00:18:50,719
Is he giving you a hard time?

266
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:57,519
Everyone in the capital already knows

267
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:00,440
the affair between Madam Zhao
and Young Master Yu.

268
00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:03,079
Young Master Yu is...
imperial examination champion.

269
00:19:03,279 --> 00:19:05,999
According to you,
would Mrs. Zhao turn away?

270
00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:09,840
They already had this big fight.

271
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:11,479
How could they
live together in the future?

272
00:19:11,479 --> 00:19:11,999
Correct.

273
00:19:12,559 --> 00:19:13,519
That's right, right?

274
00:19:16,319 --> 00:19:18,880
Since you are so interested
with my household affairs,

275
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,880
I will explain it to you.

276
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:28,960
I passed through a sea of blood and corpses
to restore my wife's good name.

277
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,400
So, I won't let it happen
the slightest stain sticks to me,

278
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,840
I also don't want to hear any gossip.

279
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:46,239
If anyone dares to gossip again...

280
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,160
- Move.
- Move.

281
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:02,559
He was really careful.

282
00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:04,759
Even though you know it's just a play.

283
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,920
He didn't leave
the slightest gap.

284
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,920
I've said it from the start.

285
00:20:11,239 --> 00:20:12,160
Power struggle

286
00:20:13,479 --> 00:20:14,799
doesn't happen overnight.

287
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:26,840
Mrs. Zhao's superiority
compared to you are

288
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,799
he doesn't get carried away,
not caring about self-esteem,

289
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:31,719
and not afraid of being embarrassed,

290
00:20:31,719 --> 00:20:34,680
but able to speak
with Dad calmly and directly.

291
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,200
Dad also thought he was
good girl?

292
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:44,519
This kind of person can only
take wife or die in Ganlin.

293
00:20:46,079 --> 00:20:49,960
However, what about you?
Why did you let go first?

294
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:51,440
If it weren't for him,

295
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,279
I was the one who died in Ganlin that time.

296
00:20:58,759 --> 00:21:01,600
Father, for the sake of a political career,

297
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,479
You have the heart to trample on honor
a woman in public.

298
00:21:05,239 --> 00:21:06,680
In fact, you pretended to apologize

299
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,200
while spreading rumors
about our relationship.

300
00:21:08,759 --> 00:21:10,360
As a current honorable official,

301
00:21:11,120 --> 00:21:13,640
how could Dad do anything
who violates morals like this?

302
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:14,600
Presumptuous!

303
00:21:28,279 --> 00:21:30,640
Your actions in the courtroom
today is very good.

304
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,840
Although a little unwilling,
you still finish your play

305
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,319
and very concerned
the whole situation.

306
00:21:35,319 --> 00:21:37,559
For now, you rest
in residence for two years.

307
00:21:37,559 --> 00:21:38,840
After the situation calmed down,

308
00:21:39,360 --> 00:21:43,400
Dad can do it very easily
help you return to office.

309
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:45,440
Very easy?

310
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:49,719
Dad,

311
00:21:51,759 --> 00:21:53,640
do you really
never thought

312
00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:56,799
that actually I am

313
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,200
are you ready to die?

314
00:22:10,799 --> 00:22:11,759
Son,

315
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,400
people who are truly willing to die
can't be stopped.

316
00:22:17,319 --> 00:22:21,200
However, you really have
lose courage.

317
00:22:21,279 --> 00:22:24,120
Don't pretend to be tough in front of Dad.

318
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:28,440
Salt reform is on the horizon.

319
00:22:28,479 --> 00:22:31,239
Zhao Ling took advantage of things
warehouse inventory shrinkage

320
00:22:31,239 --> 00:22:32,400
in the Northwest to keep up the pressure on Father.

321
00:22:32,719 --> 00:22:34,920
Dad had to use a little strategy

322
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,750
at the expense of smaller things
for the greater good

323
00:22:37,279 --> 00:22:40,680
Don't follow them
to blame Dad.

324
00:22:41,279 --> 00:22:43,160
A moment's humiliation is nothing.

325
00:22:44,479 --> 00:22:45,740
It's you

326
00:22:45,740 --> 00:22:47,880
who lost control and couldn't
prioritize greater interests,

327
00:22:47,999 --> 00:22:50,880
and ruin my plans
so it becomes a laughing stock!

328
00:22:55,799 --> 00:22:56,360
Bodyguard,

329
00:22:57,479 --> 00:22:59,319
Take the Young Master back to rest.

330
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:01,120
Ask Mrs. Fan
watch him well.

331
00:23:03,360 --> 00:23:03,920
Young master.

332
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:14,600
Father.

333
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:18,559
I used to think,

334
00:23:21,079 --> 00:23:22,920
I'm a doll
who was raised by Mother.

335
00:23:25,479 --> 00:23:26,640
Now, I just found out

336
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:30,999
Turns out you're the one in control

337
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,479
behind all this.

338
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:48,559
Quickly show it to Grandma
whether Ji's writing is good or not.

339
00:23:49,279 --> 00:23:49,920
That's it.

340
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:51,960
Here. Ji, write quickly.

341
00:23:52,719 --> 00:23:56,880
Look, even though Ji is still small,
he can hold a brush.

342
00:23:57,279 --> 00:23:59,960
That means Ji also likes writing.

343
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,279
When Jingxiu was this age,
I was the one who taught him.

344
00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:07,200
After Ji was guided by me
for two years,

345
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:08,680
I will hand it over to Fan Kun.

346
00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:11,160
In time, he will too
Imperial exam champion candidate.

347
00:24:11,519 --> 00:24:12,759
Ji.

348
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:14,640
- Quickly take the brush.
- Fast.

349
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:16,559
Show it to Grandma.

350
00:24:27,799 --> 00:24:29,600
You hand Ji over to Mom.

351
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,279
Don't you want to?
teach him yourself?

352
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:35,400
Is this how you become a mother?

353
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:37,920
Strange.

354
00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,200
Usually, I never hear
Young Master asked Ji.

355
00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:43,319
Why are you suing
accountability today?

356
00:24:44,079 --> 00:24:45,120
At first, I thought,

357
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:48,640
no one
in this residence who cares about me.

358
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:50,440
However, now I just found out,

359
00:24:52,759 --> 00:24:54,680
it turns out there isn't one either
who cares about you.

360
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:57,640
We're together
discarded after use.

361
00:24:58,479 --> 00:25:00,120
So, don't make things difficult for each other.

362
00:25:01,759 --> 00:25:04,120
You don't know how painful it is
made into a doll.

363
00:25:07,319 --> 00:25:08,519
How can you do that?

364
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,400
How can you bear it
give up your own child?

365
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,200
Yu Jingxiu!

366
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:15,759
Your biological father

367
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:19,360
said that I was having an affair
with you at the palace court.

368
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:21,759
You're not the only one who's embarrassed.

369
00:25:22,479 --> 00:25:24,719
I was humiliated too
in front of everyone.

370
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:27,719
Have you ever thought for a moment

371
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:30,440
that I also suffer a lot?

372
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,799
The first thing you think of
is Fu Tingyun,

373
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,880
then yourself, then

374
00:25:45,239 --> 00:25:46,440
Ji.

375
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,319
What about me?

376
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,519
Have you ever thought about me?

377
00:26:05,319 --> 00:26:06,239
This is also good.

378
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,400
In the future, I won't care
self-esteem again.

379
00:26:12,319 --> 00:26:14,680
After all, we will regret it together.

380
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:18,319
Have you gone crazy?

381
00:26:21,479 --> 00:26:22,440
During this time,

382
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:26,719
I often introspect myself.

383
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:29,680
Previous marriage
I'll do everything I can

384
00:26:31,559 --> 00:26:32,880
not going well.

385
00:26:36,360 --> 00:26:37,840
Our relationship is getting more and more strained.

386
00:26:40,079 --> 00:26:41,239
However, currently,

387
00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:48,920
finally I can feel relieved.

388
00:26:50,120 --> 00:26:53,640
Finally, we became husband and wife.

389
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,079
Since we're both fed up,

390
00:27:05,759 --> 00:27:08,200
in the future, it's better to just tell him to
Consort Wu accompanies you.

391
00:27:24,319 --> 00:27:27,960
I'll send people
talk about the incident

392
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:28,799
as much and as long as possible.

393
00:27:29,400 --> 00:27:33,160
Jingxiu is still young
and don't understand your sacrifice.

394
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:36,239
After some time,
he will understand.

395
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,079
Romance scandal gossip
and the story of that past relationship

396
00:27:43,239 --> 00:27:45,519
can only cover up the problem
urgent for a while.

397
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:48,999
We have to find a way
in order to escape completely.

398
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:50,500
That way, then we can
take care of bookkeeping

399
00:27:50,500 --> 00:27:52,479
warehouse inventory shrinkage
in the North West.

(Fengman Pavilion)

401
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:01,759
(List of Military Supply Donations)
General Mo.

402
00:28:03,999 --> 00:28:05,120
What do you mean?

403
00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:07,640
After the salt reform,

404
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,440
military farmland on the border
suffered damage.

405
00:28:09,890 --> 00:28:11,600
Despite having a military salary,
they can't buy food.

406
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:12,920
It's natural for them to panic.

407
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:16,640
I am willing to represent trader An
to make a donation to you.

408
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,120
Just a sign of attention
for border troops.

409
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,519
As long as General Mo
willing to help a little

410
00:28:25,750 --> 00:28:26,680
and make sure

411
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,990
the North-West side was no longer in the way
later salt reform,

412
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,920
merchant An is willing
give you a donation every year.

413
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,759
It sounds good.

414
00:28:39,079 --> 00:28:41,360
Even though this is clearly bribery.

415
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,559
You can't say that.

416
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:45,719
Mrs. Wu made a donation
of his own will.

417
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,279
His good intentions are worthy of appreciation.

418
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:50,880
These foodstuffs can also help
address the urgent crisis in the North West.

419
00:28:57,759 --> 00:29:01,440
In the future, your services can also be recorded
on your list of military accomplishments.

420
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:02,479
Forget about that!

421
00:29:02,719 --> 00:29:04,479
Where did you learn from?
these perverted ways?

422
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:06,719
Wait a minute, please.

423
00:29:07,479 --> 00:29:10,479
Mo, stop. Don't be ignorant.

424
00:29:11,319 --> 00:29:12,559
What are you doing?

425
00:29:13,479 --> 00:29:14,880
The capital is not the same as the North West.

426
00:29:15,239 --> 00:29:17,360
Opportunity for promotion
can pass in an instant.

427
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:21,799
How do you think Zhao Ling is
can you reach that position?

428
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,960
He always takes advantage of existing gaps
in every step.

(Mo Yi)

433
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,880
I didn't think so,
You also have this kind of ability.

434
00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:48,279
If the salt reform goes smoothly,
Not only can I help myself,

435
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,759
but also help Mrs
to solve a problem.

436
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:52,160
I just hope
Madam considered

437
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,559
all efforts and costs
that I have sacrificed

438
00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:54,640
to help trader An

439
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:57,600
so you can trade
safely and calmly.

440
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:06,600
What I want is not much.

441
00:30:07,519 --> 00:30:09,200
Only 50 percent of Anzhou salt business permits.

442
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,759
If you want 50 percent,

443
00:30:15,239 --> 00:30:16,999
isn't it the same?
control half the market?

444
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:24,559
However, this gift
it is indeed pleasing to my heart.

445
00:30:24,559 --> 00:30:27,440
We are family,
we should help each other.

446
00:30:27,799 --> 00:30:30,200
Grand Secretary Yu assisted the Emperor
planning major state affairs.

447
00:30:30,759 --> 00:30:32,559
Even though I don't have one
many abilities,

448
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:36,440
trader An definitely can
help Madam in the future.

449
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,840
Whenever Madam needs
useful tool, mind you.

450
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:47,519
Aunt Shu.

451
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:50,440
Mrs.

452
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,840
Later, take Madam Wu away
see Concubine Wu before leaving.

453
00:30:57,079 --> 00:30:58,160
Madam, don't worry.

454
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:02,960
Thank you, ma'am.

455
00:31:07,239 --> 00:31:08,400
It's already midnight like this,

456
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,559
I'm still bothering you
to take me.

457
00:31:10,559 --> 00:31:11,600
You guys have really worked hard.

458
00:31:12,239 --> 00:31:13,640
Mrs. Wu, you are too reluctant.

459
00:31:13,799 --> 00:31:15,519
You are now
different from the previous one.

460
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:19,519
In the past, you were a guest here.
Now, you are relatives.

461
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:21,440
Aunt Shu is too shy.

462
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,079
My nephew is still small.

463
00:31:24,559 --> 00:31:27,120
In the future, I still have to
trouble Aunt Shu

464
00:31:27,279 --> 00:31:29,360
for more help
take care of it at home.

465
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:32,279
Why are you so reluctant?
It wasn't a hassle at all.

466
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:44,640
Mrs. Yu is truly amazing.

467
00:32:16,239 --> 00:32:18,160
If he considers himself
as human,

468
00:32:18,719 --> 00:32:20,479
I would appreciate it more.

469
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:22,799
I'll probably let it be
just a few days left.

470
00:32:23,759 --> 00:32:26,920
However, he said,
himself is a useful tool.

471
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:29,440
Then, why me
not make the most of it?

472
00:32:30,239 --> 00:32:31,920
At this time, Mr
I'm confused about finding a way

473
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,120
to escape the shrinkage problem
warehouse inventory in the North West.

474
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:38,600
Coincidentally, he found a pretext
who are so clever under the guise of donations.

475
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,640
So, why not delegate it?
Is this a problem for the North West only?

476
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:46,279
That way,
Mr. Big's problem can be resolved.

477
00:32:55,479 --> 00:32:56,519
Have you heard it?

478
00:32:57,079 --> 00:33:01,440
That Mrs. Wu from Anzhou
suddenly died.

479
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:03,479
Die?

480
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:05,600
Is it true?

481
00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,440
Isn't he still
were you fine yesterday?

482
00:33:09,479 --> 00:33:10,840
Why did he suddenly die?

483
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:14,440
He said he was stabbed
many times by criminals.

484
00:33:15,799 --> 00:33:18,840
Just think, even though he hasn't been around for long
live in the capital.

485
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,600
How come you have so many enemies?
How terrible.

486
00:33:22,519 --> 00:33:23,799
People who are often around
in a negative environment,

487
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,239
Of course you will get bad habits.

488
00:33:25,999 --> 00:33:28,120
Secretly foul deeds
he did that

489
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:29,440
will get a reply
someday.

490
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:31,840
Luckily Heaven is fair.

491
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:32,559
Correct.

492
00:33:32,559 --> 00:33:35,920
Even though the salt reform
is in sight.

493
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,880
This person actually died
before having time to enjoy life.

494
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,279
Mrs. Wu is
wholesaler in Anzhou.

495
00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:45,360
He's dead.
Will the south just keep quiet?

496
00:33:46,680 --> 00:33:48,120
How tragic.

497
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:49,400
Brothers and Sisters,

498
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,799
I still have urgent matters.
I'll say goodbye first.

499
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:57,600
Emperor,

500
00:33:58,719 --> 00:34:01,160
when investigating the cause
Mrs. Wu's death,

501
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,200
I found this thing
which is

502
00:34:03,440 --> 00:34:06,160
details of the donations he made
to the North West before he died.

503
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,199
Donate to the troops
it's a good deed.

504
00:34:10,960 --> 00:34:12,079
Is there anything suspicious?

505
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:15,880
Please the Emperor judge wisely.

506
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:17,760
This is not a charitable donation,

507
00:34:18,679 --> 00:34:20,280
but rather concrete proof that
high-ranking officials in the North West

508
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:21,840
already asked for a bribe.

509
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:23,559
In the past, they embezzled funds

510
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:25,880
under the pretext of depreciation
warehouse inventory.

511
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:29,320
Now, they have closed it
under the guise of donations.

512
00:34:30,280 --> 00:34:32,639
How sneaky.

513
00:34:32,639 --> 00:34:35,079
The Emperor, he contributed
voluntarily.

514
00:34:35,360 --> 00:34:36,760
The servant did not ask for a bribe at all.

515
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:42,479
Emperor, General Mo is impossible
do such heinous things.

516
00:34:42,720 --> 00:34:45,599
Maybe Grand Secretary Yu
slandering loyal officials.

517
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:49,440
Mr. Wang, this is already written
black on white.

518
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:52,479
Isn't this list
signed by General Mo?

519
00:34:53,079 --> 00:34:54,679
Emperor, this...

520
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:01,800
I did sign it,
but not as they say.

521
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:03,400
Please the Emperor judge wisely.

522
00:35:05,840 --> 00:35:10,599
Emperor, this much money is definitely not
General Mo's actions alone.

523
00:35:11,440 --> 00:35:12,960
I was surprised from the start.

524
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:14,100
There is always something odd about shrinkage

525
00:35:14,100 --> 00:35:15,320
warehouse inventory
for years.

526
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:17,240
Why Mr Wang
never reported it?

527
00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:22,079
- Apparently, there are allegations of embezzlement.
- You...

528
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,159
Emperor, I beg the servant
so that Mo Yi would be given a severe punishment.

529
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:27,760
Emperor, if Mo Yi is not executed,
people's anger will not subside.

530
00:35:28,079 --> 00:35:29,559
The Emperor, my servant supports the proposal.

531
00:35:29,559 --> 00:35:31,559
- I support the proposal.
- I support the proposal.

532
00:35:32,479 --> 00:35:34,159
(List of Military Supply Donations)
Short supply in the North West.

533
00:35:34,479 --> 00:35:35,920
Murder case related to donations.

534
00:35:37,119 --> 00:35:38,960
What I want is
irrefutable evidence,

535
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:41,199
not knocking each other out in the courtroom.

536
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:45,920
At most, go back to the village.

537
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:48,840
My mother's family still is
have enough land.

538
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:53,519
In the future, you will become an ordinary person
can also live in peace.

539
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:57,119
However, what if
can't go back?

540
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,199
I'm afraid of Mo Yi's case
cannot be investigated thoroughly.

541
00:36:02,639 --> 00:36:04,119
He's not at all
can't kill people.

542
00:36:04,519 --> 00:36:06,400
Sooner or later,
the truth will be revealed.

543
00:36:06,679 --> 00:36:08,679
Is it necessary to press false accusations?

544
00:36:10,079 --> 00:36:11,880
Grand Secretary Yu came
to find trouble.

545
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:15,079
It seems, he intends to drag
Northwestern troops were in trouble.

546
00:36:16,079 --> 00:36:17,159
my wife,

547
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,199
if there is no other way,

548
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,720
I had to admit
that I once did

549
00:36:22,720 --> 00:36:24,519
running an illegal salt trade
in Ganlin City.

550
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:27,800
Otherwise, the Emperor would not believe it

551
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:29,519
why for years
I didn't report

552
00:36:29,519 --> 00:36:31,599
there are irregularities in depreciation
warehouse inventory.

553
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:38,199
Heaven does not spare humans
make the slightest mistake.

554
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,199
In the past, you did it too
to calm the troops.

555
00:36:41,639 --> 00:36:44,079
Why should one mistake
do you carry it for life?

556
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:49,519
Sir,

557
00:36:50,479 --> 00:36:52,440
this is an unfair case. Make sure...

558
00:36:53,999 --> 00:36:55,599
Make sure there are witnesses
and complete evidence.

559
00:36:56,479 --> 00:36:57,920
Don't be forced
confessed under torture.

560
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:27,999
Help me to persuade your sister-in-law.

561
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,720
Don't let him worry about me.

562
00:37:52,880 --> 00:37:55,400
Little Brother, you always have lots of ideas.

563
00:37:56,199 --> 00:37:59,880
Quickly help me find a solution
to help Mo Yi.

564
00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:03,559
You have influence
to speak in front of the Grand Queen Mother.

565
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:08,240
Mr. Zhao is also a...
the Emperor's favorite official.

566
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:11,800
There must be a solution.

567
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:17,840
All this because of me
not thinking clearly

568
00:38:19,599 --> 00:38:21,479
and urge him to obtain merit,

569
00:38:22,079 --> 00:38:23,639
then agreed to the proposal
that merchant from the Wu Family

570
00:38:23,639 --> 00:38:24,880
who created the donation scheme.

571
00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:26,159
Mo Yi

572
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,880
it's a bit reckless,
but he is not stupid and stupid.

573
00:38:31,960 --> 00:38:33,920
It couldn't be him
does not value human life.

574
00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:38,800
- Little brother, help me. Help Mo Yi.
- Sis, get up quickly.

575
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:41,479
Don't worry yet.

576
00:38:41,639 --> 00:38:43,119
Don't panic yourself.

577
00:38:43,840 --> 00:38:47,199
As long as there's anything I can do to help,
I definitely won't stay silent.

578
00:38:51,320 --> 00:38:53,479
This contribution must be proven

579
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,840
as a given
by Mrs. Wu voluntarily,

580
00:38:56,280 --> 00:38:58,079
not because it was forced by General Mo.

581
00:38:59,639 --> 00:39:00,240
Correct.

582
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,199
Maybe it's still there
one person who can help.

583
00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,679
This capital city is truly dangerous.

584
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,159
Before, he was still fine,
but a moment later...

585
00:39:15,999 --> 00:39:20,199
Why is Aunt so clever
can you just die like that?

586
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:21,479
Miss, calm down.

587
00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:22,840
Mrs. Wu's death

588
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,119
actually eliminates one threat
which endangers Miss.

589
00:39:25,240 --> 00:39:26,720
Now, Miss has the Yu Family
as a backup.

590
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:28,479
At least Miss has a shelter.

591
00:39:28,679 --> 00:39:30,320
Miss, just pretend
in front of people.

592
00:39:37,519 --> 00:39:39,119
I'm worried about this
not that simple.

593
00:39:41,079 --> 00:39:44,400
Actually, what is hidden
behind all this?

594
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,440
Learn more later.

595
00:40:02,079 --> 00:40:04,199
Aunt entrusted this to me before.

596
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:06,920
Could it be his death
has anything to do with this?

597
00:40:12,519 --> 00:40:14,119
I have to find someone
to help me check it.

598
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:15,920
It must be Mrs. Zhao who knows best.

599
00:40:16,119 --> 00:40:18,400
However, there are waiters
who was standing guard at the door.

600
00:40:18,519 --> 00:40:22,280
We should also avoid Aunt Shu.
How can we meet Mrs. Zhao?

601
00:40:26,020 --> 00:40:28,500
(Beautiful Twilight Light)

602
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:31,639
Auntie,

603
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:37,720
I haven't had time to be devoted to him.
Why has he left me?

604
00:40:42,199 --> 00:40:43,240
Please accept my condolences.

605
00:40:43,559 --> 00:40:44,920
People who have died
can't live anymore.

606
00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:46,400
Don't cry until you get sick.

607
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,639
Auntie always thinks of me
like his biological daughter.

608
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:50,599
Now, he is gone.

609
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:51,980
I can't even do it
deliver the body

610
00:40:51,980 --> 00:40:52,920
and carry out the funeral ceremony.

611
00:40:53,079 --> 00:40:56,679
Your aunt's funeral
of course it would be taken care of by the Wu Family.

612
00:40:57,320 --> 00:40:58,730
Regarding his death
related to criminal cases,

613
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:00,679
the funeral has not yet been held
for a while.

614
00:41:02,679 --> 00:41:05,119
Can Madam?
allow me to leave the residence?

615
00:41:06,119 --> 00:41:08,559
I want to hold a prayer ritual
for seven days for him

616
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:09,999
so that his soul can rest in peace.

617
00:41:14,199 --> 00:41:17,280
Take 300 taels of silver from the treasury
to give to Concubine Wu.

618
00:41:17,639 --> 00:41:18,320
Good.

619
00:41:18,519 --> 00:41:21,440
When you go to Tanshui Temple,
bring some servants.

620
00:41:21,639 --> 00:41:24,119
- Be careful, don't collide.
- Madam, don't worry.

621
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:31,199
Concubine, thus,
You are also devoted to your aunt.

622
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:32,440
Thank you, Aunt Shu.

623
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:34,720
Donor, wait a minute.

624
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:36,190
Buddha helped them
who is engaged to Him.

625
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:37,880
Donors are rare
who is so devoted.

626
00:41:37,999 --> 00:41:39,400
The Head of the Temple specifically
invite you to discuss

627
00:41:39,599 --> 00:41:40,519
and establish a good relationship.

628
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:47,760
This is a sacred place of Buddhism.

629
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,679
Requests that are not interested
waiting here

630
00:41:56,199 --> 00:41:59,079
Aunt Shu, wait a moment here.

631
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:01,880
Allow me to drop off Bibi
for the last time.

632
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:03,920
Go away.

633
00:42:23,320 --> 00:42:23,880
Donor.

634
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:31,280
Madam Zhao.

635
00:42:35,999 --> 00:42:39,199
Mrs. Zhao and I are indeed soul mates.

636
00:42:39,639 --> 00:42:40,999
You're always smart.

637
00:42:41,159 --> 00:42:43,599
Since it has come,
whatever happens,

638
00:42:43,679 --> 00:42:45,559
I still have to meet you.

639
00:42:46,599 --> 00:42:48,119
It turns out my guess was right.

640
00:42:49,119 --> 00:42:50,320
You want to see me.

641
00:42:54,079 --> 00:42:54,999
My aunt...

642
00:42:54,999 --> 00:42:56,440
Consort Wu, my condolences.
May you persevere.

643
00:42:58,679 --> 00:43:00,240
Those who have gone,
let it go.

644
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:03,280
We are still alive

645
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:06,559
must find a way to continue living.

646
00:43:07,240 --> 00:43:10,519
Does Mrs. Zhao have a way
to help me out of confinement?

647
00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:14,920
In his lifetime, only you can
help him in all matters.

648
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:19,559
For example, making a donation
to the North West.

649
00:43:22,479 --> 00:43:25,320
If you are willing to help
to tell the truth,

650
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,119
I can help you
get a new identity.

651
00:43:28,800 --> 00:43:31,999
From then on, you can be free
determine your own path.

652
00:43:34,440 --> 00:43:37,639
However, right now, my sales letter
still in Madam Yu's hands.

653
00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:41,479
How could a new identity be possible
that's what you mean

654
00:43:41,559 --> 00:43:42,639
can you get it that easily?

655
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:51,639
In the past, I was just
The deceased Ninth Miss Fu.

656
00:43:51,800 --> 00:43:54,679
I can get a new life
and became Xie Tingyun,

657
00:43:55,559 --> 00:43:57,999
all thanks to my service in handling
case in Yongning Prefecture

658
00:43:58,240 --> 00:43:59,519
so finally got
special permission from the Emperor.

659
00:44:01,599 --> 00:44:05,119
Who knows this incident
is it actually your chance?

660
00:44:06,199 --> 00:44:09,360
You can also make merit before the Emperor

661
00:44:09,679 --> 00:44:10,960
and looking for a way out
for yourself.

662
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:12,999
Concubine Wu is a smart person.

663
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:14,880
Today, isn't it?
you're desperately looking for a way

664
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:19,240
to come to Tanshui Temple
because you want to bet on both sides?

665
00:44:19,720 --> 00:44:21,360
If something happens
to the Yu Family,

666
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:22,880
At least you still have a way out.

667
00:44:23,440 --> 00:44:28,479
Do you really think
Mrs. Wu as your biological aunt?

668
00:44:33,280 --> 00:44:38,360
There is indeed something in my residence
which might be useful.

669
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:40,599
Xie's Jewelry Shop will look forward to it.

670
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:44,440
Hopefully Concubine will act soon
and don't waste this opportunity.

671
00:44:50,500 --> 00:44:53,060
(Next Episode Footage)

672
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,159
They kill to silence witnesses.

673
00:44:55,159 --> 00:44:57,360
We appeal to the Emperor
to investigate the North West.

674
00:44:57,360 --> 00:45:00,159
There must be someone pushing
An's traders to protest.

675
00:45:00,639 --> 00:45:01,559
North West

676
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:03,679
can't get involved.

677
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,720
You have to kill people
what you want.

678
00:45:07,479 --> 00:45:10,240
People you don't want to kill
you have to kill it too.

679
00:45:10,999 --> 00:45:12,440
I'm afraid one day,

680
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:14,440
I will be
like Mrs. Yu

681
00:45:14,519 --> 00:45:16,320
and you became Grand Secretary Yu.

682
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:19,159
Actually, you are my subordinate

683
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:21,999
