[Episode 20]

3
00:01:57,039 --> 00:01:58,039
Uncle Fang,

4
00:01:59,150 --> 00:02:00,680
why the rush to leave?

5
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,650
Back to "Uncle Fang" again?

6
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:08,110
You switch back
the moment outsiders are gone.

7
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,960
Why are you always so hung up on that?

8
00:02:13,590 --> 00:02:14,590
You silly girl,

9
00:02:15,470 --> 00:02:17,630
you call me so sweetly
in front of everyone,

10
00:02:17,630 --> 00:02:20,400
but in private, you're too shy to do it.

11
00:02:22,310 --> 00:02:23,120
Child,

12
00:02:24,030 --> 00:02:25,090
never forget this—

13
00:02:26,030 --> 00:02:27,310
you'll always be

14
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,680
my own daughter.

15
00:02:32,710 --> 00:02:33,910
I was hoping

16
00:02:34,030 --> 00:02:35,630
to show you more of Nancheng.

17
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,870
There'll be plenty of chances
in the future.

18
00:02:38,870 --> 00:02:40,520
I'm hurrying back this time

19
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,560
because I want to tell Mulan myself,

20
00:02:43,710 --> 00:02:45,120
at her grave,

21
00:02:46,590 --> 00:02:48,720
that her vengeance has been fulfilled

22
00:02:48,870 --> 00:02:50,730
and that she can rest in peace now.

23
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:55,360
Besides,

24
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:57,360
I received a telegram from Nanyang

25
00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,240
saying something went wrong
with one of the Li family's shipments.

26
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,440
I must go back and handle it personally.

27
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,310
Is there anything I can help with?

28
00:03:03,310 --> 00:03:04,750
Don't worry about that.

29
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:05,560
You

30
00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:08,000
just stay in Nancheng

31
00:03:08,150 --> 00:03:09,680
and wait for me to come back.

32
00:03:11,870 --> 00:03:12,600
Master Fang.

33
00:03:14,430 --> 00:03:15,080
Laiyi,

34
00:03:15,630 --> 00:03:16,560
why are you here?

35
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,680
Young Master Qingyi is now in Hangcheng.

36
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,750
He's heard
that you're rushing back to Nanyang,

37
00:03:20,750 --> 00:03:23,810
so he's sent me to deliver a gift
on his behalf, Mr. Fang.

38
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,280
During the confiscation
of the Huo family's assets,

39
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,150
Young Master Qingyi found a stack of
old photos at the orphanage,

40
00:03:30,150 --> 00:03:31,680
and this one was among them.

41
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,310
This photo,

42
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,410
along with those of other murdered girls,

43
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,570
was hidden deep
within the Huo residence.

44
00:04:21,269 --> 00:04:22,120
Each was labeled

45
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,380
with the victim's true age and identity.

46
00:04:29,750 --> 00:04:31,480
She looks just like her mother.

47
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,070
Especially the eyes.

48
00:04:38,270 --> 00:04:39,750
She's just skinny.

49
00:04:42,159 --> 00:04:43,720
Too skinny.

50
00:05:00,510 --> 00:05:02,000
I never imagined I'd live

51
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,240
to see what she'd look like all grown up.

52
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,660
Thank Young Master Qingyi for me.

53
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:18,490
I will, Master Fang.

54
00:05:19,870 --> 00:05:20,680
Miss Fang,

55
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,450
I'll be heading to Hangcheng
to pick up Young Master Qingyi.

56
00:05:41,310 --> 00:05:42,600
I can tell.

57
00:05:43,510 --> 00:05:44,480
Your heart

58
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,840
belongs to Young Master Qingyi.

59
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:50,180
Since that's the case,

60
00:05:50,510 --> 00:05:52,360
your engagement to Murong Qingyu

61
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,560
is off.

62
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,010
I still remember the day

63
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:03,360
you came to Nanyang,

64
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,180
[Nanyang Wharf]

65
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:07,560
traveling all that way with Mulan's ashes.

66

[Nanyang Wharf]

67
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:13,160
I told you then

68
00:06:13,310 --> 00:06:15,640
that you'd escaped that sea of suffering,

69
00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:17,730
so you should let go of the past

70
00:06:19,190 --> 00:06:21,120
and live your own life.

71
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:25,430
But you said...

72
00:06:25,630 --> 00:06:26,560
I said...

73
00:06:27,310 --> 00:06:29,310
As long as the Huo family still exists,

74
00:06:29,310 --> 00:06:30,360
I'll be trapped
in that sea of suffering...

75
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,720
I'd be trapped
in that sea of suffering forever,

76
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:33,980
with no shore in sight.

77
00:06:38,750 --> 00:06:39,680
My dear child,

78
00:06:41,430 --> 00:06:43,510
you've reached the shore now.

79
00:06:44,510 --> 00:06:45,560
Forget the past

80
00:06:47,430 --> 00:06:49,240
and start your life anew.

81
00:06:53,870 --> 00:06:56,920
Once I finish
handling the business in Nanyang,

82
00:06:57,390 --> 00:06:58,190
I'll come back

83
00:06:58,630 --> 00:07:00,270
and personally arrange

84
00:07:00,750 --> 00:07:02,480
your wedding with that boy.

85
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,090
I'd like to become a grandfather
as soon as possible.

86
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:13,920
Alright.

87
00:07:15,070 --> 00:07:15,930
Enough of that.

88
00:07:17,070 --> 00:07:18,130
I'll get going now.

89
00:07:48,190 --> 00:07:48,950
Boze,

90
00:07:49,159 --> 00:07:49,600
it's me.

91
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:50,159
Qingyu,

92
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:51,480
what's wrong?

93
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,750
Did something happen at home?

94
00:07:53,750 --> 00:07:55,190
I just missed you.

95
00:07:55,430 --> 00:07:57,360
What could possibly happen at home?

96
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,690
Everyone's doing fine.

97
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:00,780
Then why are you...

98
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,520
I was thinking of
asking you out for a drink.

99
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,320
Then I remembered you're in Hangcheng now.

100
00:08:07,390 --> 00:08:08,790
I'll be back in a few days.

101
00:08:09,070 --> 00:08:10,000
When I come back,

102
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,820
let's go to Yanxi Restaurant.

103
00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:13,630
The owner there and I go way back.

104
00:08:13,630 --> 00:08:15,800
He's been saving an 18-year-old Nu'er Hong
just for me.

105
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,530
You can't get it anywhere else.

106
00:08:19,630 --> 00:08:20,360
Okay.

107
00:08:20,630 --> 00:08:21,720
The two of us will

108
00:08:21,870 --> 00:08:22,950
drink until we drop that day.

109
00:08:22,950 --> 00:08:23,600
Deal.

110
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:25,360
Just...

111
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,480
don't let Father Li find out

112
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,280
I've been hiding that rice wine.

113
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:31,390
Otherwise, if he learns I've been keeping
good wine from him,

114
00:08:31,390 --> 00:08:33,120
he'll definitely get mad at me.

115
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:34,640
But for you, Brother,

116
00:08:35,030 --> 00:08:36,960
I'm willing to be a bad son for once.

117
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:43,080
Qingyu?

118
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:47,300
I'm still here.

119
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:51,030
Boze.

120
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:54,640
Let me ask you something.

121
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:56,670
I mean, suppose.

122
00:08:58,750 --> 00:08:59,750
Suppose one day

123
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:04,450
the Murong family and the Li family
end up on opposing sides.

124
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:07,360
What would you do?

125
00:09:10,670 --> 00:09:11,480
Qingyu,

126
00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:14,200
what do you mean by that?

127
00:09:17,630 --> 00:09:18,750
Times change.

128
00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:20,560
Who can say what may happen?

129
00:09:20,630 --> 00:09:22,390
I mean, just suppose it happened.

130
00:09:22,390 --> 00:09:23,650
That'll never happen.

131
00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,720
And you would never let that happen,

132
00:09:26,150 --> 00:09:26,720
right?

133
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:30,240
Brother,

134
00:09:31,510 --> 00:09:33,150
you promised me, remember?

135
00:09:35,240 --> 00:09:36,000
When I left home

136
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,030
at 8 years old,

137
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:38,440
you said

138
00:09:38,910 --> 00:09:40,440
nothing would ever change.

139
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:45,910
Of course I remember.

140
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:48,440
You'll always be my brother.

141
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:54,200
Boze,

142
00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:56,630
remember this—

143
00:09:57,870 --> 00:10:00,270
the Murong family
will always be your home.

144
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,750
No matter what happens,

145
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,120
you can always come home.

146
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:06,840
Got it?

147
00:10:08,870 --> 00:10:09,670
I understand.

148
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:14,360
Okay.

149
00:10:15,630 --> 00:10:17,290
You go ahead and do your thing.

150
00:10:24,150 --> 00:10:25,240
Our wedding

151
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,630
will be your best chance
to assassinate Li Rongzhang.

152
00:10:28,630 --> 00:10:29,840
Only by dying

153
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,170
can I do what's best for Qingyi.

154
00:10:37,910 --> 00:10:38,750
Boze,

155
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:40,240
I'm sorry.

156
00:10:41,510 --> 00:10:43,970
If there truly is retribution
in this world,

157
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:45,960
let it all fall upon me.

158
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:04,670
It's snowing.

159
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,080
-It's snowing.
-It's snowing!

160
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:07,320
Look, it's snowing!

161
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,600
-It's actually snowing.
-It's snowing.

162
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:09,720
It's so lovely.

163
00:11:10,630 --> 00:11:11,120
Look.

164
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:12,180
It's so beautiful.

165
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:14,720
It's snowing so heavily.

166
00:11:14,910 --> 00:11:16,390
It's so beautiful.

167
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:17,870
So lovely.

168
00:11:23,790 --> 00:11:25,630
Can you just give me one second?

169
00:11:29,270 --> 00:11:30,800
Just love me for one second.

170
00:11:37,150 --> 00:11:39,240
I'll be back before the first snow.

171
00:11:40,270 --> 00:11:40,910
P.S.

172
00:11:41,910 --> 00:11:43,710
Contact me if you need anything.

173
00:11:44,270 --> 00:11:45,080
P.P.S.

174
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:47,860
Contact me even just to say hi.

175
00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:05,200
Why are you panting so hard?

176
00:12:09,510 --> 00:12:10,630
I was just running.

177
00:12:11,870 --> 00:12:12,670
What's wrong?

178
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,150
Missed me?

179
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,480
Thank you for the photo.

180
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,390
Uncle Fang...

181
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:24,150
was very happy.

182
00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:26,080
It was nothing.

183
00:12:27,390 --> 00:12:29,390
I took care of the Huo family for you.

184
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:31,150
From now on,

185
00:12:31,550 --> 00:12:33,080
you'll never again have to

186
00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:35,000
carry the pain of the past with you,

187
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:36,730
unable to eat or sleep in peace.

188
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:39,600
Whatever happens

189
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:40,870

00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:16,920
Mother,

562
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:19,120
if you keep whipping him,

563
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,510
he's going to die.

564
00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:24,070
Qingyu,

565
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:26,820
you're still protecting him?

566
00:33:27,110 --> 00:33:27,790
Mother,

567
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:30,900
if you really meant to kill me,

568
00:33:32,270 --> 00:33:34,510
you should've sent my brother away first.

569
00:33:34,510 --> 00:33:35,910
This eldest son of yours,

570
00:33:36,590 --> 00:33:38,000
so upright and noble,

571
00:33:38,790 --> 00:33:40,160
could never bear to
watch a son kill his mother

572
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,490
or a mother kill her son.

573
00:33:44,510 --> 00:33:45,310
You wretch.

574
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:48,550
From head to toe,

575
00:33:50,240 --> 00:33:52,920
you don't look like a Murong at all.

576
00:33:55,880 --> 00:33:57,720
How did I give birth to
such an animal as you?

577
00:33:57,720 --> 00:33:58,510
Cut the act.

578
00:33:59,350 --> 00:34:01,080
If my brother hadn't insisted,

579
00:34:01,590 --> 00:34:04,250
would I
even be in that family portrait outside?

580
00:34:05,590 --> 00:34:06,200
When did you ever

581
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:08,199
treat me like a member of the family?

582
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:12,480
You gave birth to me but never raised me.

583
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:14,699
You raised me, only to despise me.

584
00:34:14,710 --> 00:34:16,360
You despise me, yet still use me.

585
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,150
And once I was
no longer of any use to you,

586
00:34:18,150 --> 00:34:19,280
you threw me away

587
00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:20,630
like trash!

588
00:34:21,150 --> 00:34:22,280
Do you really think

589
00:34:22,630 --> 00:34:24,690
the family name means anything to me?

590
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:28,840
You...

591
00:34:29,030 --> 00:34:29,630
Auntie!

592
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:35,639
Even a vicious tiger won't eat its cubs.

593
00:34:36,030 --> 00:34:36,710
Let go!

594
00:34:39,960 --> 00:34:41,440
Utterly shameless!

595
00:34:42,710 --> 00:34:44,230
In broad daylight,

596
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:46,070
tangling with another man.

597
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:48,230
Have you forgotten who you are now?

598
00:34:48,230 --> 00:34:49,760
You deserve a whipping too!

599
00:34:51,150 --> 00:34:51,710
Mother.

600
00:34:54,360 --> 00:34:55,070
Qingyi!

601
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,520
Stop pretending to be the good guy here.

602
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:05,330
Don't tell me you don't know

603
00:35:05,630 --> 00:35:06,960
how I feel about her.

604
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,450
And yet you insist on
forcing her to marry you,

605
00:35:11,030 --> 00:35:13,230
all while claiming it's for my own good.

606
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:17,880
This family...

607
00:35:21,670 --> 00:35:23,360
has never been my home!

608
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:25,230
Somebody,

609
00:35:26,070 --> 00:35:27,550
throw this animal out!

610
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:29,840
Since this isn't your home,

611
00:35:30,670 --> 00:35:33,110
go fend for yourself on the streets!

612
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,070
Mother.

613
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,530
I'll leave on my own!

614
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:01,190
You said...

615
00:36:04,070 --> 00:36:05,800
you wanted me to leave with you.

616
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,290
Let's go now, together,

617
00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:14,150
