[Oh! My Sweet Liar!]

[Episode 10]

Young Mistress.

What?

It's so cruel for me to get up so early.

Young Mistress.

You should get dressed up.

Otherwise we'll be late for greeting Duke and Duchess.

Young Mistress.

Young Mistress, wake up.

We're gonna be late.

Young Mistress!

What?

We're almost done.

Okay.

Take this over there.

Be careful.

Watch out. Take it over there.

Alright, alright.

Our Young Mistress is such a drama queen.

Mei Xiang,

What food have the kitchen workers cooked today?

They've made your favorite pastries.

Pastries?

"Daughter of County magistrate"?

I guess she's just a fraud from some art pavilion or casino.

What are you saying?

Less talk, more work.

You hear me?

Mei Xiang.

Come on.

Forget it.

Really?

Of course it's real.

She told me herself.

That girl?

Yeah.

She's coming.

Hang it up higher.

Come on, this way.

Come on.

She seems so arrogant.

Young Mistress,

there's definitely something going on with them.

Why are they all acting weird?

Come on, stop looking at them.

Didn't you just say there're delicious pastries?

Where is it? Just take me there.

Come on.

Hey, look.

I told you.

From the way she looks, she must be a slut.

[They can't help eating the forbidden fruit.]

[They look into each other lovingly.]

[He's kissing her slander hands.]

Who drew this?

This is slander.

Young Mistress,

it's so typical of Happy Fairy

to make up stories and frame innocent people.

Nonsense!

Happy Fairy will never draw such a thing!

Young Mistress, calm down.

This is outrageous.

Who on earth is impersonating Happy Fairy?

We've been searching the whole day.

And all we've got are these picture books.

Who on earth is impersonating Happy Fairy?

Young Mistress,

shall we tell Young Master about this?

He'll help us look into it.

No.

We can't tell him.

Why?

It's about your reputation and integrity.

You should ask Young Master to back you up.

He'll back me up?

It'd be a mercy if he doesn't kill me.

No.

We should keep searching.

Come on.

Excuse me.

Would you please lend us a lantern?

Mei Xiang,

I'm sorry.

We're sent on errands by Duke.

It's so dark.

If we take a wrong turn without the lantern,

we won't be able to finish our task on time.

We can't afford that.

But you've got two lanterns.

Come back here!

That's alright.

We can search under the moonlight.

Come on.

Young Mistress,

are you okay?

Come on, let me see.

Your knee's swelled up.

That's alright.

What happened?

Mei Xiang, go get the ointment.

Yes.

What are you up to now?

I'm your husband.

Why can't I see it?

You're not my "real husband".

What are you doing?

Put me down! [Young Mistress and Her 7 Gigolos]

You can leave now.

Yes.

Don't move.

Don't touch me.

Hey.

Do you really think of me as an obscene playboy?

I don't care if you're a playboy or not.

Body contact is not allowed between men and women.

Please behave yourself.

You're playful on a daily basis.

When you were my servant,

you'd even pal up with other servants in Xiaofeng Courtyard.

But why are you on such close guard against me?

What do you mean?

I palled up with them

because I knew they viewed me as a man.

Yes, I came from the art pavilion.

But I'm not a profligate woman.

Highborn women are not the only ones

who value integrity and morality.

Everyone in your family is so snobbish.

Including you.

That is not what I mean.

I understand.

Mei Xiang,

apply ointment to Young Mistress.

Yes.

Young Mistress,

please endure for a while.

Those two servants are real bastards.

If I run into them some other day,

I'll definitely teach them a lesson.

Mei Xiang,

I thought your temper was soft.

Turns out you're very tough.

You're still the same Mei Xiang I know.

Young Mistress, stop making fun of me, a maidservant.

I told you not to call yourself "maidservant".

But those two servants are so horrible.

It's not them.

But the "Fake Happy Fairy".

Who would be that bold as brass?

What did you write on it?

Come on, my story is so fun!

While you failed to capture the essence.

Stupid as Xiong Xiruo looks,

she's only pretending to be innocent.

Well,

a hug is no big deal.

But she looks as if she's reluctant.

Such a schemer.

Women like her either come from art pavilions

or are gold diggers who always screw around with people.

Well, it makes sense.

Yeah.

Then what do you think I should draw?

Let's draw she has a mother who runs an art pavilion.

Her face is covered in white make-up powder,

while her lips are painted blood red.

Third Master, good for you!

You're so good at making up stories!

Then let's draw her...

Her sisters are all monstrous singsong girls

who can't even sing a note.

Good! Good!

Last, let's draw that she's in serious debt and trouble.

That she's forced to prostitute herself by the debt collectors,

which is why she sneaked in Li's manor for money.

Third Master,

draw with me.

Our next book will be even better!

It won't be long before it spreads through Yunyao.

After we expose this swindler,

she'll be kicked out!

Great!

Come on, draw along with me.

Okay.

Let's go!

I'm telling you.

My method will definitely work.

No doubt we'll take her down.

I think so too.

I'm telling you.

She can't be highborn.

She's just a gold-digger.

Come on.

I'm sure we'll throw her out of Li's manor this time!

I didn't expect there to be such undiscovered talents here.

Who came up with this idea?

Now she's got notorious

right after she married into Family Li.

That's what she deserves.

Indeed.

Anyone with the common sense can see through a whore like her.

Even if you don't do anything,

others will settle with her.

Now that someone has helped me take her down,

we should help him, too.

Why are you running?

I will never help you kill Young Master

no matter how much money you give me!

Come on.

I'm not asking you to kill anyone.

You're not asking me to kill Young Master?

Then you want me to get you out of here, right?

Xiong Xiruo, I'm telling you.

Don't push your luck.

No way!

You're wrong again.

Don't lie to me.

You'd risk your life for money.

All of a sudden, you're giving me so much money.

You must be up to something.

You must be up to no good.

You know me quite well.

But, I'm telling you,

you're wrong about me this time.

I just want you to take these to mom.

Gosh!

Why didn't you say it earlier then?

I thought you're up to something.

Just take these to mom?

Yeah.

I haven't seen you these days.

I'm telling you,

that fabricated book against me

has spread around the whole Li's manor.

Worst of all,

I found that in the latest version,

there's a story about where I come from.

And it's getting real.

I'm afraid that

one day they'll expose my fake pregnancy.

We'll be dead by then.

Wait!

Don't scare me.

I'm timid.

I don't care.

In a word,

you're going to take these things to my mom

and it must be foolproof.

Mom has gone through all the troubles

of raising us the foundlings up.

She's still living month to month.

Now I've got money.

I'll give everything to Mom

so that she can take this money

to renovate the art pavilion.

Our pavilion must be 100 times more luxurious than Flowery House.

And these.

I want my sisters to wear these.

Anyway,

we don't have to be bullied by Flowery House anymore.

You really have a conscience.

Okay, I got it.

I'll help you deliver these.

But,

there're so many things.

I can't just carry these out like this.

That'll be easy.

You can put them in it.

In what space?

That's alright.

Just put them in your clothes.

No!

Hurry!

No!

It's too heavy!

I can't carry it at once.

We can divide up the rest next time, okay?

What if we don't have "next time"?

What if they just kill me?

Come on, hurry!

Alright.

Then I'm leaving now.

Okay.

Hey, wait!

What now, Young Mistress?

There's more money for me?

Actually,

It's all I have.

So...

let me keep this one.

Why didn't you say so when you were packing?

Hey!

She's locked herself in her room for so long

with Dr. Ye in such broad daylight.

And all these sounds.

She get to be Young Mistress only because she was pregnant.

It's normal.

Is it real that she never takes a shower

so that the mud rubbed off from her body

can be used as medicine for Dr. Ye?

You've also read Happy Fairy's new book?

Yeah.

Of course!

Everyone in this manor has read it.

See what happened today?

It appears that the scandals are true.

One more word

and I'll have your tongues cut.

Young Master, please forgive us!

We're terribly guilty!

From now on,

whoever dares to gossip about Young Mistress

will be flogged 50 times and thrown out.

Now slap yourself.

Yes!

I'm terribly guilty!

I'm sorry!

I'm terribly guilty!

Young Master, please forgive us!

I'm terribly guilty!

I'm sorry!

Young Master, please forgive us!

I'm terribly guilty!

Young Master, please forgive us! [Young Mistress and Her Seven Gigolos]

I'm terribly guilty!

I'm terribly guilty!

I'm sorry!

I'm terribly guilty!

I'm sorry!

Why are you here?

What's this? [Young Mistress and Her Seven Gigolos]

This damn book again.

Just be honest with me.

I didn't draw this!

You're lying.

It's got your name on it, can't you see?

No!

But I didn't draw this, seriously!

Xiong Xiruo,

you're a compulsive liar and

there's nothing you can change about it, right?

I, Xiong Xiruo, swear to god that

if it's drawn by me,

I'd be burning in...

The paintings in it are somewhat similar to mine.

But,

you see this headline.

The writing is so neat.

That can't be my writing.

Mine is pretty cursive.

You know that.

And here.

The chin is so pointy that

it seems you can pierce the curtain with it.

The eyes,

the noses.

It's not a bit like my painting.

You said it wasn't you.

But how can you prove it?

I'll show you one of my paintings.

Compare it to mine and you'll see.

See here.

Here.

And here.

This place.

They have nothing in common.

Shut the door.

He just walked away like this.

Damn.

[Xiaofeng Courtyard]

I don't know where did the gossip start.

They say Young Mistress has been cheating on you.

That she's a compulsive liar

and even having a love affair with Second Young Master.

The point is, I heard that

the gossip is spreading everywhere.

Now all the servants and women in our manor

are hostile to Young Mistress.

She's suffered a lot.

Yes, I came from the art pavilion,

But I'm not a profligate woman.

Highborn women are not the only ones

who value integrity and morality.

Everyone in your family is so snobbish.

Including you.

I also heard that

Young Mistress has been so worried about it

that she's lost her appetite completely

and she doesn't want to talk anymore.

She'll fall ill if things continue this way.

Slut!

Slut!

Slut!

Young Master, would you figure out some way

to take Young Mistress's mind off those gossips temporarily?

For example,

you can take her out and relax.

And you'll lead the horse in one hand

and hold her in another.

You two will stroll among the mountains...

Amao.

Don't you have any work to do lately?

Forgive my words.

You can leave now.

Yes.

Li Hongbin,

what are you playing at?

We're now in the middle of nowhere.

You're going to dump my body here?

Slow down!

I'll fall off!

What did you say?

I said I'd fall off!

Compared with the boring life in Li's manor,

how do you like it?

Li Hongbin!

What do you have against me?

Why do you have to punish me like this?

Just tell me what you have against me!

You do need punishment!

Come on!

Come on!

Slow down!

Where on earth are we going?

Don't ask.

Just row.

Hurry up.

♫ What a beautiful encounter it is. ♫

♫ It's like in the dream. ♫

Hey!

Can you please slow down?

Hurry up.

Wait for me.

I really can't walk any further.

♫ Chinese ink paintings are the witness of our romance. ♫

♫ I want to walk with you hand in hand. ♫

It's so beautiful.

You...

why would you bring me here?

To watch the sunset.

You've taken me all the way here

just to watch the sunset?

You're just trying to torture me, right?

What's this?

It's so ugly.

I'm not eating it.

I'll feed it to the horse later.

I made this myself.

If you dare to feed it to the horse,

I'll kick you down from here.

♫ The love ripples in my heart. ♫

Thank you.

♫ It's like in the dream. ♫

In the past, whenever I felt worried,

I'd come here.

As long as I see Yunyao would still be at peace,

and this beautiful sunset,

I'd think that

no matter what I'd go through,

tomorrow Yunyao would still be like this,

and the setting sun would also rise as usual.

Thinking in this way,

I'd feel much better.

♫ My happiness and love ♫

♫ are all because of you. ♫

♫ I can't get away as I come closer. ♫

Devil,

thank you.

♫ But I lost myself. ♫

♫ How lucky to lose to you in my youth. ♫

♫ My happiness and love ♫

♫ are all because of you. ♫

♫ I can't get away as I come closer. ♫

♫ I want to steal your heart. ♫

♫ But I lost myself. ♫

♫ How lucky to lose to you in my youth. ♫

Come and take a look.

Pastries.

Fresh pastries.

Here's a task for you.

I've had a long day because of you.

What task would there be?

Something you're good at.

What?

Making up stories.

Making up stories?

What stories?

Wild rumors are going around our manor.

So I've invited one of my aunts who serves as a lady-in-waiting

to write biography for you

and put the record straight.

For me?

Or what?

You want "Yunyao Secret: Young Mistress's Love Affair" to be your story?

I...

Your family background

and how we met each other

would be in her writing.

You can tell her whatever you like.

You mean

I'll make up stories by myself

and give an extravagantly colorful description.

But that'd still be a lie.

You're just a liar.

Why are you serious about it?

I just think

it's not something that you would like to do.

It appears that Family Li's Young Master would do everything

just to protect his and Family Li's reputation.

But what else can I do?

I have to obey you.

It's your idea.

By then,

I'll just make it up however I like

and write it however I like.

The red bean grows in southern lands.

In spring, its slender tendrils twine.

Gather for me some more, I pray.

Of fond remembrance is the sign.

Master.

You don't have to explain.

I've always known you're a girl.

I just didn't expect you to be so talented.

This is how I met Young Master and fell in love with him.

Young Master and Young Mistress,

your heart-pumping love story is truly a blessing from gods.

Aunt, you're right.

Young Master and Young Mistress,

you can go take some rest now.

I'll handle it from here.

Well then, thank you, aunt.

Wait.

Third Master, why are you here?

I heard that you're here to write biography for my niece-in-law.

That's a big deal.

I'd also like to do my part.

Our family values reputation most.

So you must check her background stories thoroughly.

There can't be any mistakes.

Third Master, you're right.

I'm also one of Family Li.

Of course I'd fulfill my duty.

That would be good.

Little Uncle,

thank you for your care.

I'm doing this for you, my niece-in-law.

There must be solid proof of your biography.

Otherwise,

how can you clear up the rumors out there?

Am I right?

- Little Uncle... - Little Uncle's right.

If there's anything you'd like to ask,

go ahead.

Good.

You said you came from Jiangning County.

Why I don't hear your Jiangning accent?

My father values etiquette and education.

He found me the best teachers from all over the country.

I can imitate various dialects,

let alone Jiangning accent.

But now I've come to Yunyao.

I should obey the rules here.

So I quit the Jiangning accent.

You, sit down.

Okay.

My second question.

Do you know what's the embroidery

on County magistrate's robe?

What?

You don't know that?

Crane.

Tiger...

Why are you talking nonsense?

Your father is a county magistrate.

How come you don't know there's a crane embroidery on your father's robe?

Yeah.

How come you don't know that?

Little Uncle,

she just doesn't want to talk about the past

so as to avoid the sorrow.

Little Uncle, please stop asking about it.

What "past"?

Nephew,

she's obviously li...

Little Uncle.

Obviously what?

She's obviously got a bad memory.

Forget it.

That's enough for today.

Thank you...

Little Uncle!

Little Uncle!

Little Uncle, thank you for you help.

Nephew,

I always thought you were smart.

Why would you be...

I love Xiruo with all my heart.

She's my one and only love in this life.

Little Uncle,

please, for my sake,

don't embarrass her.

What a dangerous beauty!

What a dangerous beauty!

If you dare to tease my nephew,

I won't let you get away with it.

If we can't squelch the rumors deriving from those fake paintings,

I'm afraid that more and more people would doubt you.

In the coming days,

you must be careful.

I know.

You've said so many touching words.

It seems that you're better than me

at telling stories to Aunt.

Actually...

- Actually... - I know.

You were just lying to Little Uncle.

You don't have to explain.

Or do you still have feelings for me?

How come?

Don't be late for tomorrow's tea party.

Okay.

My legs are numb.

Put up with it and sit straight.

Hurry.

Young Master looks so elegant and mighty

while Young Mistress seems so dignified and cultured.

You two make a lovely couple.

Young Mistress seems so dignified and virtuous.

I knew that Happy Fairy was just fabricating stories.

Yeah, right.

Of course.

So please don't believe the rumors out there.

Of course we won't, don't worry.

Just behave well today.

If you put on your best behavior,

the rumors will definitely pass eventually.

Understand?

Yes, Mother.

What are they doing?

Are they having a tea competition?

Isn't that Xiong Xiruo?

Why is she here?

It looks good.

Yeah.

Indeed.

It's almost been 2 hours.

When on earth can I drink this cup of tea?

Young Mistress, please offer the first cup of tea.

Maybe...

you do it for me.

Me?

Don't take it seriously.

I'm just kidding.

Yeah, right, she's just kidding.

She's always cracking jokes.

What's wrong?

Young Mistress!

She's so rash.

What happened?

What happened?

What happened to Young Mistress?

What happened, Xiruo?

Call the doctor!

Hurry!

She fell.

It serves her right!

My wife's not feeling well.

Excuse me for leaving first.

Slow down, don't rush.

Be careful!

Is she okay?

He's carrying her in his arms?

You're stealing my man?

I'll depict this scene in my new book!

You wanna steal my man?

I'll deface you through painting!

Dr. Ye,

you've put over 20 needles in her.

Why won't her wake up?

Madam, don't worry.

Let me give it another try.

Let me try.

Okay, hurry.

Don't worry, Mom.

Xiong Xiruo,

when will you stop playing possum?

If you don't wake up now,

you'll ruin my future.

Ye Zhihan.

Hey!

can you really treat illnesses or not?

You don't know

why my daughter-in-law passed out in the first place.

And you've put so many needles in her.

And you still can't wake her up.

I'm telling you.

She's pregnant.

Are you saving her or killing her?

Madam, don't worry.

Just let me try.

Let me try.

Hurry!

Yes.

Dr. Ye,

how about we let Xiruo have some rest

before you put more needles in her?

Young Master, you're right.

It may be because Young Mistress's blood is stagnant.

That's why acupuncture doesn't work for her.

How about I twirl the needles for her?

Maybe she'll wake up after that.

Mother,

you don't have to worry.

Xiruo's strong and healthy.

She'll be alright.

There're so many guests out there.

Don't waste time here.

I'll take care of her.

Alright.

When she wakes up,

send me the message.

Yes.

Madam, good-bye.

She's gone.

You can wake up now.
