What...

Su,

where is Baoyin?

Bad news!

Baoyin is gone.

She left this letter.

What?

(Uncle, Auntie,)

(Baozhu, and Su,)

(sorry for leaving)

(without saying goodbye.)

(I hope for your forgiveness.)

(All of you have treated me with great kindness,)

(especially Su, my lifesaver.)

(I was born poor.)

(Fortunately, I met you)

(and saw)

(the impermanence of life,)

(but I also found out)

(exactly what I want.)

(Since Su and I know each other best,)

(I understand more than anyone)

(the hardships he has faced along the way.)

(I must know better)

(than to)

(take all this)

(for granted.)

(We all)

(have our own fate.)

(If it's meant to be, let it be.)

(If it's not,)

(let it go.)

(It's just I don't have the courage)

(to say goodbye)

(in person)

(to the four of you,)

(my dear family.)

(Please take care.)

(Yours, Baoyin.)

=A Dream Like The True Love=

=Episode 20=

(Five years later in Qingzhou) (I took His Majesty's reward)

(and acquired a restaurant in Qingzhou.)

(With my skills and experience,)

(I also manage several businesses.)

(The silver notes are light,)

(but they make me feel secure.)

(That's how I became)

(the first successful businesswoman in Qingzhou.)

This pearl's surface is smooth and round

with no obvious flaws

and it has a delicate, lustrous sheen,

which can reflect

my image.

It's just that the roundness

is a bit short.

Not worth that much.

Ms. Chen,

these are all carefully selected by me.

They are the best from South Sea.

See

how big they are.

The bigger the pearl,

the higher the demand for roundness,

and the higher the price.

Besides,

these are clearly freshwater pearls from Huai River.

Trying to fool me?

Try harder next time.

I didn't say I wouldn't take them.

These few strung pearls are quite decent.

I'm making a necklace for my little sister

as a wedding gift.

Still short a few.

I can pay you twenty taels

right now.

Well,

okay.

No wonder you do big business.

Not only do you have business acumen,

you sure can bargain.

Top businesswoman in Qingzhou indeed.

You flattered me.

Go get your payment.

Okay, take care.

Boss,

try the new dish.

It's the fifth anniversary,

and you're fooling me with this?

My, my.

You've become more and more picky.

Back then, you left without a word.

If I hadn't heard it,

I wouldn't know you opened a restaurant here.

I admire that about you.

You never lack the courage to start over.

There's nothing

you can't accomplish.

We need to keep moving forward.

When things feel easy,

it means you're going downhill.

When it's difficult,

it means you're moving up.

Now we're getting better and better.

Are you really going to the capital for Baozhu's wedding?

I missed her the most

since I practically raised her.

If I'm not there on her wedding,

I will truly feel bad.

I heard Lord Ying has been stationed at the borders for years.

He is nothing but a tough soldier.

Don't know how Baozhu and he got together.

All the more reason to go check myself.

What about Wen Su?

That ship has long sailed.

(Prefect Feng)

Mr. Wen,

may I toast you?

No need.

I can't stay long.

But rest assured.

Regarding the underreporting taxes,

I will report everything to His Majesty.

Wait for the decree.

Mr. Wen!

Please, let's talk this out properly.

How much do you want?

I won't bargain.

You better

stop talking,

for I will repeat everything

you said to His Majesty.

Mr. Wen!

Wen Su,

I won't let you off easily.

So who is the boss, Mr. Luo or Ms. Chen?

They're a couple.

They are both bosses.

Wait,

I remember Mr. Luo only came to Qingzhou later.

And the two never got married.

Baoyin,

some official's here to bring down Prefect Feng.

Now Feng wants a refund.

This old miser should have been punished long ago.

He won't be around for long.

It's better to avoid trouble.

Just give him what he wants.

But the thing is

that man from the capital ate a bowl of seafood wontons.

There's no way to return it.

Seafood wontons?

People from the capital also love these?

(Capital Street)

Mr. Wen.

Mr. Wen is coming.

(Song Shulan) Quickly now.

Tidy up.

Or Mr. Wen will report us.

That book is a private copy. Hide it quickly.

Okay, okay.

So this is the God of Justice of Ministry of Revenue,

Wen Su.

Please come again.

Take a look.

Ms. Song.

Apologies.

You know me?

In the entire capital,

you are the only woman

who loves to buy the stationery

and uses a man's folding fan.

And yet you rejected me three times.

I have my pride, you know.

I always wanted to see

what kind of man

the famous God of Justice is.

Now I see

you are just an average man.

We can just drop

my rejection.

I am the daughter of Minister Song.

Am I not worthy?

Why would you humiliate me?

Mr. Wen!

They're here.

If you'll excuse me.

I already said it.

The wine can't enter.

Either drink it

or throw it.

Sir.

The wine is home-brewed.

Winter is here

and we are visiting relatives.

Please let us in.

Daqing Laws

prohibit the private sale of yeast.

Who knows if you are

gifting or selling it.

Luo.

Sir.

You've worked hard

in this weather.

Take this.

Buy some food for your men.

Take it back.

Rules are rules.

Let me tell you,

the Ministry of Revenue...

Mr. Wen is here.

(It's him.)

It's fine.

Let them pass.

She's visiting

my house.

I apologize.

I didn't know.

Please forgive me.

(Why has he become so stern)

Mr. Wen,

please.

Why did you come to the capital

with her?

Mr. Wen,

thank you

for helping us out.

Although we are here to visit relatives,

besides your family,

I also have relatives in the capital.

Is that so?

Why?

What are you implying?

I do have relatives in the capital.

Mr. Wen Junior.

I'm here to visit your family.

Please lead the way.

Follow me.
