=Episode 17=

This family

really have a lot of sly ideas.

Your Highness,

Mr. Lin has already gone to look for them.

What should we plan to do?

Not eating?

Shame on you!

Send someone to pursue immediately.

Make sure to bring the Shen family back

before him.

Yes.

For the sake of this family,

Lin Yan actually disregarded his dignity

to come to me and ask for them.

They are far more influential

than I imagined.

But this family is so cunning.

They actually managed to escape.

Otherwise, we would have pried the truth out of them.

Rather than using the Shen family to manipulate Lin Yan,

there is actually a simpler method.

Go ahead.

Get rid of him.

I know

you've raised him for many years

and cannot bear to do it.

But raising a tiger invites disaster.

We'll talk about it later.

Run quickly!

Run!

Yangyang.

Yangyang.

Are you OK, Yangyang?

Get up quickly.

What's wrong with you?

Can't you walk carefully?

If my baby gets injured,

I won't let this go with you.

My fault. My fault.

Yangyang, did you get injured?

We've been running for a long time.

And this road is hard for both people and horses to travel.

How about we take a break?

They won't be able to catch up for a while.

Take a break.

I really can't run anymore.

Have a break. They don't catch up.

Let me check on you.

Are you OK?

Did you hurt yourself?

I'm sorry, Yangyang, I'm sorry.

Be careful, Jicai.

We found the fruit!

Auntie, grandma,

do you think this grass is edible?

Let me go over and take a look.

Father.

OK.

Let me take a look.

Look at this.

- What did you pick, Yangyang? - Shaojie.

Get up and work.

Why are you always lying here?

What's it?

Jicai, look.

Yangyang, where did you pick this?

Right in here.

Look, there's plenty of them.

This... this seems to be smartweed.

Is it spicy?

What is it? Is it edible?

We have to taste it.

If it is smartweed,

then it is edible.

But then, who will taste it?

Do we have to learn from Shennong and taste all kinds of herbs?

Yangyang, you even know how to use allusions.

Better than your father.

You found something to eat?

What's this?

Father, why did you eat it?

- Gongcai... - Father!

Father!

- Father! - Gongcai!

Gongcai, come on.

Spit it out! Hurry up.

- Hurry up. - Spit it out.

Spit it out.

- Come on. - Father,

- Spit it out. - Spit, spit, spit.

- Father... - Spit it out.

Spit, spit.

Alright, alright.

Alright.

Did you spit it out?

Father, you're choking me to death.

- Feel better? - It's fine.

This thing

is so spicy.

- It's spicy? - It's spicy.

It means that it is edible.

Then we can cook spicy dishes.

Hot and sour noodles.

Boiled fish in spicy soup.

Mapo tofu.

Spicy chicken cubes.

Spicy boiled blood curd.

Auntie,

can we bring back more smartweed?

I want to eat spicy strips.

Yangyang, you want to eat,

why not let me make it for you?

You definitely don't know how to make it.

Don't worry.

I just dug up several plants of smartweed.

Maybe I can even set up a special section for spicy dishes.

Spicy chicken, spicy fried duck, Mapo tofu.

Much more useful than the dogwood they like to use here.

That's why we still have to be in the human world;

hell won't do,

we can't even get spicy food there.

The last one. You all aren't eating it, huh?

If you don't, I'll take it.

Father, I want it too.

Yangyang,

let's play rock-paper-scissors.

Whoever wins gets to eat.

I'll count to three.

I'll play paper, OK?

Come on, one,

two,

three.

I win!

- Shen Shaojie, you cheat? - Shen Gongcai.

You naughty boy!

Just for something to eat,

you even lied to your own daughter.

Mother, how come you don't know how to joke either?

I'm just teasing her.

She can't even trust her own father.

When she grows up, she won't

be deceived by another man, right?

Well,

you're always in the right.

Yangyang, don't be angry. I'm kidding.

Let me take it for you.

Grandma.

Don't move.

Don't... don't move.

You're hiding here.

We finally found you.

Did they put

a tracking system on us?

They actually found us.

Stop that. Take Yangyang away quickly.

Yes, Jicai,

you go with Yangyang.

I want to let them know

what it means to be a heroine.

Mother, can you handle this?

You don't understand her.

She is absolutely capable.

When I was young,

I trained in discus throwing.

Hear that? This is why it hurts so much

every time she pinches me.

You've got quite some guts, even started chatting.

Jicai, hurry up and go.

Hurry, take Yangyang away.

Let's go!

Catch them!

Yangyang.

I really can't run anymore.

Go, quickly.

Auntie.

Here.

Come. Quick.

Here, hide inside.

OK. Auntie, you come in too.

Auntie.

You can't get away.

Yangyang, just hide here.

Don't make a sound.

I'll make spicy strips for you after I come back.

Don't make a sound.

Auntie...

You little brat, come here.

Come catch me.

Weren't you acting tough just now?

Discus throwing or something.

Let me...

What are you doing?

Father!

Fengxia.

Jianshe...

You're courting death.

You're the ones courting death.

- Mr. Lin. - Are you alright?

Take this message back.

If you lay a hand on the Shen family again,

I will never let it slide.

Let's go.

Get lost.

Just wait and see.

- Mr. Lin. - Where are Jicai and Yangyang?

They ran in that direction.

Let's go.

- Go. - Go.

Take care.

Yangyang.

- Lady Shen. - Be careful!

- Jicai. - Yangyang.

Be careful, be careful.

Yangyang.

- Yangyang. - Lady Shen.

Jicai.

Yangyang.

Yangyang.

- Jicai. - Shen Shaoguang.

Yangyang.

Be careful.

Yangyang.

Yangyang.

Answer me.

Jicai.

- Mr. Lin. - Shen Shao...

Mr. Lin, I'm here.

Yangyang.

- Over there. - Hurry.

- Coming. - I'm here.

- Yangyang. - Mr. Lin, I'm here.

I'm here.

- Father. - Yangyang.

- Grandpa, grandma. - Yangyang.

Yangyang, are you OK?

- Did you hurt? - Are you injured?

Are you OK?

- Yangyang. - Where is your auntie?

Where is Jicai?

Yangyang, was auntie running with you?

My auntie diverted the bad guys

to save me.

She hasn't come back.

Yangyang, which way did your auntie go?

That direction.

Stop going further.

Come back with me obediently.

I promise not to take your life.

Mr. Lin.

If it weren't useful to keep you alive,

you wouldn't have the chance to play tricks with me here.

Since you're so good at causing trouble,

I'll cut off your hands and feet

and mutilate you.

No, no, no.

If so, it's meaningless

to take me as the hostage.

It's better to have four limbs intact.

I will never lie to you again.

Mr. Lin.

Do you think I will believe you a second time?

She told you the truth,

but you don't believe it.

Mr. Lin.

Are you OK?

It's dangerous here.

Let's go first.

Shaoguang.

Hold on to me.

Mr. Lin, save me. Save me.

Don't worry.

I will definitely get you up.

Mr. Lin, do not let go.

I haven't lived enough yet.

There are still many things I haven't eaten yet.

I haven't yet made the Shen's Diner

bigger and stronger.

I also said I want

to make affordable food for everyone.

I swear on my life,

you will absolutely be fine.

♪This mundane heart, unwilling to fade♪

♪Perhaps foreknew heaven's design♪

Hold me.

Don't let go.

♪Migrating toward you♪

♪But worldly customs permit only♪

♪Our fleeting meetings♪

Mr. Lin, you're injured.

Does it hurt?

Can you still hold on to me?

Am I really going to die here?

Just hold on to me.

You won't die.

I won't let you die.

♪Fear sincerity trespassing half a step♪

Lin Yan,

weren't you determined to overturn the case for the Cui family?

Yet now you're willing to be buried for a woman.

Hold on to me.

Don't let go.

Mr. Lin,

you...

♪Can only lament♪

♪Too cruel a fate♪

♪This mundane heart, unwilling to fade♪

Mr. Lin,

there is a legend in Future Village.

As long as you are the protagonist,

no matter how deep the abyss,

you'll be fine even if you fall.

After you go up,

remember to kill that guy.

Shen Shaoguang,

hold on to me.

Don't, Shen Shaoguang.

Shen Shaoguang,

hold on to me.

♪Passion fills the page, leaving only foolish longing♪

♪Fear sincerity trespassing half a step♪

Good for you,

Lin Yan.

You coaxed my father

into treating you as a counterfeit of my elder brother

and even deceived this young lady

into willingly dying for you.

Then take a guess.

If she is dead,

do you have a chance to survive?

Shut up!

Mr. Lin,

please help me take care

of my family more in the future.

You don't know how much I appreciate you

during this time.

You really are

a very good person.

What you are going to do

will surely succeed.

Shen Shaoguang,

don't be impulsive.

♪Fear fate's script erasing this encounter♪

How dare you!

♪Though glimpsing a thread of forewarning♪

♪Can only lament♪

♪Too cruel a fate♪

Interesting.

I really want to take a good look

at this grand drama of a miserable couple.

- Jicai. - Auntie.

Jicai.

Quick, go find something.

Auntie.

Father, mother,

quick, pull me up.

I don't want to die.

Help me! Help me!

Come on.

- Father. - Put it down.

- Quick, quick, quick. - Jicai, grab it.

- Jicai. - Come on.

Jicai.

Shaoguang.

- Grab it. - Grab it, Jicai.

Grab it.

Grab it, Shaoguang.

Don't let go.

Come on.

Be careful.

Mr. Lin. Mr. Lin.

Come on.

- Auntie. - Jicai.

It's OK now.

- I thought I would never see you again. - Mr. Lin.

Come on.

It's OK. It's OK.

Mr. Lin.

I thought, I thought...

I thought I wouldn't be able to save you.

Shaoguang.

If because of me,

you are...

It's alright.

It's alright.

It's alright.

I'm fine.

You still have an arrow stuck in you.

It hurts, right?

- Mr. Lin... - Yeah, what about this arrow wound?

It's alright.

I'll be fine after dealing with it.

The top priority right now

is to leave here

and return to Yong'an.

Alright, alright.

Come on.

Take care.

Come on.

What about him?

In this situation,

we can't report it to the authorities.

What if we leave him here

and he gets eaten by beasts?

His identity is so special.

Why bother with him?

If beasts don't mind,

it could be considered his good fortune.

Someone will find him soon.

Let's go.

Liu Chang will come to meet us soon.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Stay close together. - Hurry.

I don't want to stay here any longer.

- Quick. - Quick, Yangyang.

Go, go, go.

Speed up.

(Virtue and Fragrance)

It's just a minor injury.

I can recover without taking medicine.

Take the medicine first.

Wait a minute.

Your hand isn't convenient to use.

Let me help you.

I can do it myself.

My father and mother couldn't bear it anymore.

They have to rest first.

Yangyang was frightened.

My brother must stay with her.

If you need something, just let me know.

Does it hurt?

No, it doesn't.

Sorry.

Let me do it.

(Qingyang Cui Case)

No idea who wrote this file.

This person must be good at writing compositions.

He can get full marks for presentation.

Composing and writing mean the same thing.

Writing compositions?

Isn't the meaning

repeated?

Ignore it.

The point is

his presentation is very neat.

Ordinary people don't write articles that carefully.

There will be some signs of modification.

But he didn't.

As if it had been recopied.

(Qingyang Cui Case)

(To be punished by the death penalty.)

(Cao Mansion)

(Qingyang Cui Case)

(Harboring ill intentions)

Just as you said,

this file has no errors or omissions.

This is obviously a recopy.

I was blinded by a single leaf.

I had been delving into the contents of the file,

yet I never expected

that the key information lay beyond the words themselves.

The case was so urgent back then.

Yet Master Xiao still took the time

to copy it out deliberately

and submit it to the Capital Prefecture and the Court of Judicial Review.

He must have secrets that must be kept hidden.

Unfortunately,

Master Xiao is now in a coma.

We can't get anything out of him.

Fifth Master Xiao

is a taciturn person who won't say a word.

However, he was very diligent in writing.

Not only would he carry a tablet when attending court meetings,

but even while eating or walking,

he would bring different kinds of slips

to record events that occurred.

So some people made fun of him,

saying he was no different from those attendants

who constantly recorded the daily life of His Majesty.

They gave him a nickname,

Attendant Prince Consort.

So I suppose

when he was investigating the case,

he would also carry a slip to record events.

If Prince Consort Xiao

left behind that slip,

perhaps there will be new clues.

By the way,

(Secret letter) Prince Zhao sent a letter,

saying that the hunt for the Shen family was all Li Ang's nonsense.

He has already been taught a lesson.

When I was young,

even as a feudal prince,

if he felt he was wrong,

he would apologize to me.

I assumed that since he was reasonable

and free of airs,

he must be a fair-minded person.

Now he shifts all the responsibility onto Li Ang.

This is just a tactic,

the same as when he showed sincerity

toward me.

In the case of selling official positions,

many of the traded posts were in the Ministry of War.

Perhaps,

they are not after money at all.

If the ears, tongues, mouths, and eyes in the court

are all replaced by others,

that person

would become a true 'lonely ruler'.

Young Master,

I don't quite understand

what you mean by that.

I mean

Prince Zhao

may be related to all of this.

His Majesty is aged

and still has a few brothers in their prime.

Who could benefit from the case?

If that were really the case,

Prince Zhao would certainly not want us

to continue investigating.

Even if there are many suspicious points

about Prince Zhao,

that is still not enough to conclude

that he was involved in that incident back then.

Forget it for now.

At present,

Prince Zhao also dared not rashly

extend his reach into Yong'an.

He wrote this letter

to keep us steady.

Both sides have their concerns.

The other party got anxious first.

Naturally, they'll lose their composure.

Then would it be more appropriate for us

to send the Shen family away first?

Greetings, Mr. Lin.

We came to see

if your injury has gotten any better.

No major issues remain.

Thanks for your concern.

Come in and sit.

We are here not only to visit you,

but also to tell you something.

That day in Sushui City,

Prince Zhao's youngest son who was hunting down Jicai

came specifically to the dungeon to interrogate us

and asked us if we knew

your secrets.

There are things about you that can be said,

and things that cannot be said.

We didn't know what should be said

and what should not be said.

I just thought

you told me

that Prince Zhao knows

your true identity.

That day when you took off clothes

in the carriage...

It's not that.

That day, Mr. Lin was wearing his official uniform.

He couldn't go to a restaurant

wearing his official uniform.

He could only change temporarily.

Is she really so unconcerned about it?

So

you said you know my identity?

Well,

just to save my life,

I still had to say something they don't know,

without affecting you.

So I said

you and the Princess have an ambiguous relationship.

Sorry for affecting your reputation.

It's just reputation.

It's better than letting them hurt you...

And you.

It doesn't matter.

After all, it's because of me

that you had to suffer this calamity.

Mr. Lin,

we are all one family.

No need to say such things.

Actually, we all know in our hearts

that you're trying to reverse the case for the Cui family.

- Yeah. - Well,

does Prince Zhao taking us as hostages

have anything to do with it?

Alright. If Mr. Lin doesn't want to talk about it,

we won't ask then.

Don't worry.

I will risk my life

to protect you all.

I know

people's perception of life and death is very different.

They think many things are more important than life.

But you are like family to us.

We only hope that our family

can live well.

Mr. Lin, let me say a few words too.

As the head of this family...

The head's husband.

I make a statement.

First of all,

reversing the case is extremely important.

Secondly, Prince Zhao has been secretly setting you up.

Before we came here,

we've discussed it in meetings.

We decided

to stand firmly by your side

and help you to reverse the case.

You can't.

Why not?

Well,

ever since we arrived in Yong'an City,

we've received a lot of help from you.

And I can also tell

all of this

comes from the bottom of your heart.

So we definitely won't

leave you behind and ignore you.

Exactly.

Mr. Lin,

there's one more thing I want to ask you.

Logically speaking,

we should have moved out long ago.

But if we move out now,

then it will be much easier

for others to harm us.

As for this matter,

you still have to make a decision.

Sorry for implicating all of you.

Although the engagement is called off,

you all

are my only family in the world.

I'm thinking

I feel at ease only when I keep you by my side.

The road ahead won't be easy.

Listen.

Mr. Lin has already

made so many plans for us.

Mr. Lin,

actually, in our eyes,

you are just a child after all.

How did you manage

to shoulder so much all by yourself?

Didn't Mr. Lin say

he also wants us to stay?

Mr. Lin, from now on,

you no longer need to be afraid.

If something happens,

we adults will stand up for you.

We will stand up for you.

Come on, father...

In this situation,

'adults' means parents.

Whatever.

In my eyes,

Mr. Lin is just like you and Gongcai.

You are all children of our family.

Right?

Mr. Lin,

as long as you are willing,

from now on,

you can feel free to treat us

as your own parents.

It's not appropriate.

What's inappropriate about it?

It's appropriate.

I think it's very appropriate.

From this day forward,

just treat us like your parents.

Yeah.

It's appropriate?

Then according to that,

from now on, you're my little brother.

Brother,

don't worry.

No matter how difficult the road ahead is,

the two of us

will face it together.

What's going on?

What's wrong, Mr. Liu?

Something got into my eyes.

I... I'll rub it.

I'm so touched.

From now on, we are all your family.

We're all one family now.

- We are all one family. - Come on.

- Come on. - We're family.

(Shen's Diner)

(Distracted while eating, being a laid-back person)

Isn't a restaurant just like a teahouse?

Since ancient times, all kinds of people

all liked to come to such places to discuss matters.

We keep our eyes on all sides

and our ears open in all directions,

and maybe we can pick up

some useful information

to help Mr. Lin.

Why are you standing here

instead of cooking?

Didn't we say we need to gather intelligence?

I have to do it.

This is a man's job.

You women can't do it.

It's dangerous.

Listen to your words.

I think you should be taught a lesson.

Go cook. Go.

Dear. Dear.

Look at Shaojie.

Speak louder.

What're you doing? Not going to let us eat?

What's wrong with you?

- You do business like this? - Quick, go.

- It's OK. Go ahead. - Owner?

Where's the owner?

- Sorry. - Sorry.

Sorry.

His brain, you know,

there's something wrong with it.

This Agate Meat

is free of charge.

Enjoy yourself.

- The customers - What would you like?

- or the passersby, - Some of this.

- might be the spies. - Chicken wings, got it.

OK.

Thank you.

Shaojie went out.

Step aside.

Come on.

What are you looking at?

I'm following someone.

Who are you following?

Well, that person.

Did you see him?

He definitely has a problem.

What's the problem?

It's not even winter yet.

He sneezed four times in a row.

What does this indicate?

He must have used the sneezing

to send a signal.

Well, who did he inherit such low IQ from?

From you.

From whom?

Come on. He's gone away.

- Come on. - Trust me.

Do you have a problem with your eyes

or your brain?

(Shen's Diner)

He really has a problem.

Help him reverse the case?

I think you're just trying to get attention.

I... Well...

You're so jumpy and overreacting.

You want to gather information?

The information you found out

may be deliberately revealed by someone else.

- I... - Gongcai,

Mr. Lin is having a hard time.

Even though we couldn't help,

don't make things worse either.

- Father, - I...

what exactly can you do well?

I...

(Clear and Bright)

Mr. Lin,

I

have one piece of news.

Third Master Wen,

who has a big mole on his face,

has a cousin who works in the Imperial Kitchen.

According to him,

His Majesty

doesn't have a good appetite.

Later, I made more inquiries in various ways.

This did happen.

This is definitely big news.

Yes, I also tried.

After my extensive inquiries,

I discovered

the sworn brother of the son

of the second aunt of the cousin

of the wife of the third brother

of that Aunt Ge who delivers fish to us

is a member

of the Jinwu Guards.

They've been

investigating the cat theft case.

Why are you looking at me like that?

His Majesty lost his cat.

That's a cat, after all.

Isn't this already big news?

This cat has already been found.

The Crown Prince liked it,

so he secretly took it away for a few days.

His Majesty has already given him a lesson.

By the way, Mr. Lin,

I found out

Mr. Meng, Left Supervisor,

is quite worried about his granddaughter's marriage.

I heard his daughter's marriage was not very good,

and she died in depression.

He doesn't want his granddaughter to repeat the same mistake.

Mr. Meng also mentioned it to me.

Marriage?

Did you agree?

Did you agree?

No, no, no.

If Mr. Lin agreed,

then the whole Yong'an would know.

Yeah, you can't agree.

You're moved?

You're moved?

Father, mother,

this is a private matter.

Let's not interfere anymore.

Yes.

Thank you all

for helping me discover

so many secrets of the capital.

Actually, recently we've been

studying the matter of Yangyang going to school.

For most girls, their families would invite

a teacher to come and give lessons.

We've met with some people.

But we were not very satisfied.

After some inquiries,

we learned that the best academy is Hongwen Academy.

Grand Tutor Zhao Xunzhi is also teaching here.

I inquired...

Well, when did you inquire?

You're quite a competent auntie.

I found out from this person,

the sworn brother of the son of the second aunt

of the cousin of the wife of the third brother

of that Aunt Ge, who delivers fish.

The one who is a Jinwu guard.

He said that 20 years ago,

Zhao Xunzhi was a disciple of the Capital Prefect.

Why didn't he tell me?

He really was my father's disciple.

But after something happened in my family,

he wanted to avoid suspicion,

so he never mentioned it again.

(Benefiting and Helping the People)

Sachets. Sachets.

Sachets with various scents.

Lady, take a look.

I found out

Mr. Meng, Left Supervisor,

is quite worried about his granddaughter's marriage.

Mr. Meng also mentioned it to me.

- What's wrong, milady? - Take a look.

Do you have something on your mind?

No.

Not really.

Why do you ask like that?

You seem absent-minded today.

It's fragrant.

Lady, take a look.

Alright, actually I read a novel.

It's quite cruel.

Why are you reading that for no reason?

That stuff is so difficult.

Can it not be cruel?

What are you saying?

I mean, I read

a sad story.

What story?

In the story,

that lady

accidentally fell off a cliff.

At this time,

a handsome young man came to rescue her.

She thought, 'better you than me'.

She didn't care if his arm was broken,

as long as he could save her.

This young lady is really heartless.

Yes.

Despite being such a heartless person,

she was actually willing to let herself fall

to save the life of the one who rescued her.

Then she must really love that person.

No way, how could that be?

It's not important.

Anyway,

this lifesaver will eventually marry someone else.

How can the story be like this?

That young lady will be sad.

No, she is not sad.

How could she be sad?

This is too perverse.

Milady, why are you so excited?

What exactly do you want to say?

Why can't I understand?

It's nothing.

Really, it's nothing.

(Yunshui Manor)

We're friends.

How could you say you serve me?

Didn't you say before

that you don't plan to make friends?

People change.

Then we are friends now.

In Future Village,

friends should shake hands.

Hold on to me.

Don't let go.

(Shaoguang's Food Notes. So hard.)

(For eating spicy food, we risked our lives.)

(All because there are no chili peppers here.)

(If people in Yong'an wanna eat something spicy,)

(they rely on Sichuan pepper, ginger, , piper longum, and evodia fruit.)

(Some are actually quite expensive.)

(The smartweed we happened to find while on the run)

(is used as an ingredient for making fermentation starter.)

(It's rarely eaten directly.)

(As soon as it entered my mouth, that familiar stinging sensation...)

♪Like a sunken boat in a dark current, not a single light of night is seen♪

♪Ahead is hazy, light and shadow interlaced♪

♪Sadly this heart, toyed with by fate several times, hangs suspended♪

♪Falling into fog, tracking blindly♪

♪If not for thoughts stirring the heart, again provoking strife♪

♪How would I know it's so unfathomable♪

♪Had I known it would entangle us, we should never have met♪

♪A clean break♪

♪Only when walking deep within do I realize how thick the fog is♪

♪Where should I go♪

♪Passing through the world, looking back at the dream♪

♪Is it still there♪
