A Girl Like Me

Episode 17

Engagement?

Yes. Count Cheng’an said so.

I dare not ask more.

By the way, Your Grace,

do you remember

the servant by Count Rong’s side

in Rong’s mansion

back then?

The one

who was glib and loyal.

Yes, I do.

Why do you bring him up?

Today in Count Cheng’an’s mansion,

an old butler

looked exactly like that servant.

Strangely,

he didn’t seem to recognize me at all.

Is that so?

Perhaps we are old.

He didn’t remember your look.

These two are the best in our shop,

but you are still not satisfied.

Though I like them,

I don’t know which one I should buy.

Certainly, this one is good.

As the saying goes,

you get what you pay for.

I’m telling you a secret.

This is a limited edition.

Limited edition?

Exactly.

I’ll take this one!

Sure.

Your taste is bad, isn’t it?

Last time, we fancied the same one.

Since my taste is bad,

you are no better than me.

Things have changed.

Moreover, you guessed it right last time.

I know nothing about it.

You can boast as you please.

Boast?

Sir, tell her. Do I know these things?

Of course you know.

You are an expert.

In that case,

sir, did you lie to me just now?

That’s not true.

Well... They have their own merits.

They have their own merits.

Look.

The gloss of this plate

is not so bright as that one,

but it’s more natural, isn’t it?

Moreover, take a close look.

Isn’t this one more translucent?

It must be the superb glass

imported from foreign countries.

The boss is unaware of its rarity,

so he priced it wrongly.

Really?

Why bother lying to you?

I’ll take it if you don’t.

Sir, I’ll take this set.

Yes, miss.

Have a check.

If it’s fine,

I’ll deliver it to your mansion.

Have a check?

Easy peasy. Four words.

Look. Listen. Compare. Touch.

First, look.

Look at its appearance carefully.

The shape. Gloss. Pattern.

If there are any visible defects.

Second, listen.

Knock it.

Is the sound good?

It sounds good.

That means it’s a good plate.

Next, compare.

You two are so intimate.

Are you picking dowries?

We are picking dowries,

but I will not marry him.

Nor will I marry her.

What do you mean by that?

Am I not good enough for you?

So what if you are?

Will you marry me?

You...

You rogue!

Shameless!

Why did I have such a dream?

Count Cheng’an!

Will he get in danger?

Your Grace.

Why do you look so pale?

Do you feel unwell?

Let me take you there and have a rest.

I’m fine.

I’m gonna supervise Ban Heng’s training,

lest he’ll slack off again and run away.

No worries, Your Grace.

I will not allow him to run away.

Your Grace! Your Grace!

Your Grace!

Your Grace! Bad news!

Something happened in Count Cheng’an’s Mansion!

What happened there?

It seems someone died there!

Someone died?

Your Grace!

Young Master.

Where is my sister going?

Someone died in Cheng’an’s Mansion.

Someone died...!

No!

If Count Cheng’an is really dead,

my sister will be known

for predestined widowhood!

It’s my fault.

It’s my fault.

I should’ve reminded you of this.

Who is your murderer?

I swear I’ll avenge your death.

Your Grace.

Tell me.

Who on earth killed him?

Yesterday, Butler Rong was impacted

by an uncontrollable carriage.

He had died before the physician came.

Hua.

I...

Come with me.

Hua.

What’s on your mind?

Why don’t you talk to me?

We are done from now on.

If you don’t love me,

why do you come here?

If you don’t worry about me,

why are you shedding tears?

I...

You wished us

to be frank to each other,

didn’t you?

But now,

why don’t you be frank and tell me?

I dreamed my family was confiscated.

I don’t want you dead.

Dream?

Yes.

I’ve been having these weird dreams,

the break-off of my engagement,

the blindness of Xie Qilin,

and the death of my grandmother.

I dreamed all of these things.

More terribly,

all these dreams have come true.

So,

you dreamed I got killed.

That’s why you come here?

You deliberately refused me,

for you feared I’d get implicated?

I’ve been all alone.

Not until I met you,

did I know there’d be another way to live.

Hua, as long as I can be with you,

I don’t fear death.

If my family really falls...

You have me.

I won’t let that happen.

Hua.

Rest assured.

From now on,

I’ll guard you all the time,

and the whole Ban family.

Because you all are my family.

I will never allow any harm to my family.

Thank you.

Hua. Hua.

Go get a physician!

Hua.

Hua.

Hua, you woke up.

The physician said you were weak due to anxiety.

And you had a cold.

You need some medicine and a good rest.

I’m going home.

Okay, take the medicine

and I’ll send you home.

No bother.

Be good and take the medicine.

Why are you laughing?

I know you wanna stay with me.

What do you mean?

If you don’t,

why do you refuse to take the medicine?

You don’t wanna recover too soon,

so you can stay longer with me.

You bookworm.

You’re good at coaxing.

Have you arranged Butler Rong’s funeral?

Yes, as you required, Young Master.

But I suspected

there’s something fishy about his death.

Investigate and figure out the truth.

Report to me any time.

Yes.

Well...

How is Her Grace now?

She’s fine.

She just needs some more rest.

Should I prepare some chicken soup for her?

Darling.

Count Cheng’an is supposed to come and propose.

When he comes,

what betrothal presents should I ask from him?

The matchmaker hasn’t come yet.

Now are you thinking about the dowry?

I can’t marry my daughter to him for nothing.

Since Hua was born,

I’ve been thinking to be father-in-law

and put on airs.

Now my dream is about to come true!

The dowry should be the first consideration.

Besides what we’ve prepared for Hua,

we need four chefs,

and eight or ten embroiderers

from the south.

Eight or ten?

To match with Hua,

we should make more outfits for him.

Hua gets used to her own bed.

A new bed should be customized

and delivered to her.

So many things?

We can have him marry into our family,

lest we move all the things there.

That’s a good idea.

Yeah.

Hua doesn’t have to leave home!

Right!

The thing is that,

will she be reluctant to marry

for fear of implicating him?

You brat.

Dreams aren’t necessarily true.

She dreamed our family was confiscated.

Now we got promoted.

She’s a Princess.

I’m the Prime Minister.

Father. Mother.

Hua, you are back.

Hua.

You look radiant.

Count Cheng’an has taken good care of you.

It’s my honor to care for Hua.

Rocky. Take Ban Hua back to her room.

Yes.

Why should I go back?

Your Grace.

-I’ve learnt new massage skills. -Go back.

I can help you cure the cold.

Yes, go back for a rest.

Greetings. Mr. Ban. Mrs. Ban.

Today I come to see you

for the promise I made to Princess Royal.

Please allow me

to marry Ban Hua.

Count Cheng’an.

You and I are on good terms,

but it concerns my daughter’s happiness

in the future.

I need to discuss it with my wife.

Right?

Father. You didn’t say so just now.

No one sees you as dumb.

If I can have your approval,

I promise I’ll love her all my life,

and never betray her.

If I break my word,

I shall have a miserable and lonely life,

and my fame shall be ruined.

You bet so big?

Count Cheng’an.

Ban Hua doesn’t love books.

You two share no hobby.

Once married,

you’ll be together for decades.

Have you made up your mind?

Rest assured, Mrs. Ban.

She is no ordinary girl.

I won’t treat her

in an ordinary way.

As for what she likes,

I’ll learn to appreciate and understand.

As for what she doesn’t like,

I’ll never push her.

Some decades

is far too short for us.

If there’d be afterlife,

I’d still marry her as my wife.

You make me want to marry you.

Darling, so your decision is...

My wife and I...

have agreed.

As for Ban Hua,

it depends on you.

Thanks for your kindness.

Count Cheng’an.

My sister is a handful.

You may pay more attention to her.

Go to see her.

Have a good talk with her.

Go ahead. Have a good talk.

Sure.

Du Jiu.

Do you think it will work?

Sir, you prepared it wholeheartedly.

I believe

Her Grace will not turn you down.

What if she says no?

Then we can try other ways.

Your Grace.

They have important things to talk about.

Please stay here.

What are you doing?

They have important things to talk about.

Please don’t disturb them.

It’s wonderful.

Your Grace, what is it for

to invite me here for your zither playing?

Your Grace. Are you all right?

Why is your face flushing red?

Do you get infected by me and have a cold?

I’m fine, Hua.

It’s too hot in the room, maybe.

Let’s get some air on the balcony.

You picked a good room.

Look.

From the balcony,

the best night view here can be seen.

Hua.

Today, I actually...

I asked you here...

To tell you...

That...

We may...

We may get...

Have you got it?

Your Grace.

What are you talking about?

Hua.

Marry me.

What are you doing?

Young Master. What brings you here?

It’s a big moment for my sister.

How can I miss it?

But,

I haven’t had enough

of being single.

As long as you agree to marry me,

the wedding day is up to you.

What if I wanna be single all my life?

Well,

can you allow me

to be by your side all my life?

It’ll be too hard for you, won’t it?

Certainly not.

Being with you,

I can’t be happier.

How could it be hard?

Then could you tell me

since when did you fall for me?

I’m quite curious.

I...

You can’t even answer this, and you want to marry me?

You mistook me.

I think,

I fell for you

at the autumn hunting.

When you took advantage of me in the bush?

No.

I mean the time

when I got drunk

and shot the arrow with you.

Then it came to me that

it should be the skating.

I’ve been into you unknowingly.

So, you’ve been into me

since then.

That explains.

You helped my family over and over.

Yes.

Then I get along well with your parents,

and your brother.

From them, I feel the long-gone warmth.

I got to know

you are the one of my life.

Count Cheng’an

looks shy and gentle,

yet he’s so good at love words.

Scholars are indeed different.

Yeah.

I suppose

my sister has got his virgin

when she was in his mansion.

No. No. No.

Let me ask you, Your Grace.

If my family

gets in great disaster,

what will you do?

I will definitely stand out

and guard your family.

If I die accidentally,

what will you do?

I’ll protect all your families,

and keep you in my mind for the time to come.

Count Cheng’an.

You are really silly.

Why do you say so, Hua?

If you die,

I’ll definitely remarry.

For the sake that

you’re simple-minded,

I may agree to marry you.

What’s wrong with you?

I’ve agreed, haven’t I?

Great! Hua.

I thought you’d turn me down.

I could barely breathe.

You are sincere to me.

How can I turn you down?

You scholars are so silly.

Du Jiu.

Get me the love knots.

On my way, Young Master.

-Hurry. -Hurry.

Cheng.

We’re here to back you up.

Put it on.

♪I meet you♪

♪When the flowers bloom like rain♪

♪I’ll wait for you here♪

♪We hit on at the first sight♪

May we grow old together

until death do us apart.

No worries, Your Grace.

We’ll never be apart.

So, Ban Hua said yes?

Thanks to Your Majesty’s blessing.

That’s great.

The Ban family acts wild,

but they do show respect to me

when it comes to my request.

Thanks to Your Majesty’s efforts.

Prime Minister said if it weren’t for your matchmaking,

they wouldn’t even allow me to go to their mansion.

Don’t take it to heart.

My cousin is

just stubborn.

My kindness to them has paid off.

Finally, what I promised my aunt is fulfilled.

By the way,

have you got any clue

about Princess Royal’s murderer?

Your Majesty.

I’ve ordered to investigate it separately.

No exact information for now.

Prime Minister Ban will be your family.

You must get it to the bottom

and uphold justice for them.

I’ll thoroughly investigate it

and find out the murderer as soon as possible.

Young Master.

Why can you never parry this strike?

I bear no grudge with you.

Why trying to kill me with every blow?

You even strike harder.

That’s the way of sword training.

If you don’t try all out,

how can you do better?

That doesn’t make sense.

Come. Let’s sit down and talk.

Are you sitting?

Do you have guts to slack off?

Hua.

We haven’t talked for long.

Let’s have a word or two.

Then continue the training.

A word or two?

First word.

I think

you agreed to marry him too soon.

You want me to marry him

all the time, don’t you?

Yes, that’s true.

But you should make the process harder.

The harder you make it, the more he loves you.

Isn’t it hard enough?

Never enough.

I’m a man.

I know what men are thinking.

Too late. I’ve agreed.

I think another man

is needed to meddle in it.

Shi Jin is a good choice.

He’s been admiring you.

No.

He could be the man in black. We must be on guard.

How so?

I can’t talk with you.

Softy.

Continue.

Yes.

Listen, make it harder day by day.

No worries, Your Grace.

I’ll never forget this.

Softy.

No wonder

I can’t parry the last strike of yours.

You make the blow harder and harder?

Of course. Or how can you do better?

I’m going to Count Cheng’an.

Hua. Have some more talk with me.

Have some more...

Young Master, shall we?

Noodles

Noodles Hua, this is the restaurant.

Noodles

Noodles Is this the West Noodles Restaurant?

Noodles

Noodles Do you think it’s too average?

No.

It’s said that

their noodles are very tasty,

usually sold out before noon.

Have you come here before?

I passed by, but didn’t try it.

Sir, two bowls of plain noodles.

Sure.

The noodles are simple but so delicious.

He didn’t lie to me.

Who?

Softy.

She told me that

the noodles here were very delicious.

Back then,

I didn’t really have a chance

to dine in such a noodles restaurant.

If I knew it earlier,

I’d be a regular here.

Noodles

Noodles Any other delicacies here?

Yes, vegetarian dumplings.

Wait for me.

How come you are here, Your Grace?

Lord Shi.

Are you here for noodles?

Seems I’m too late

to honor my promise.

The noodles are really tasty.

Lord Shi.

Your Grace.

Hua. Dumplings are ordered,

and will be served soon.

You called her name, Your Grace.

Isn’t it too rude...?

You mistake it, Shi.

I asked him to call my name.

You don’t know it, Shi.

I’ve engaged with her.

What’s wrong with the address?

Is it true, Your Grace?

Yes, Lord Shi.

I’ve agreed to marry him.

Sir, pack up the dumplings for me.

Yes, sir.

Your Grace.

Lord Shi. It’s going to rain.

Hurry and go for a shelter from the rain.

Noodles

Shi.

How did you get drenched?

Go get changed.

Feixian.

Count Cheng’an is no longer your concern.

Shi Jin. Could it be...

You’ve known the woman he will marry?

Ask no more about it.

How can I not ask?

He’ll marry another woman.

My heart hurts like being stabbed.

Who is the woman?

How did she

force him to marry her?

Why do you think

she forced him to marry her?

What if Count Cheng’an really loves her?

What else would you say?

But in the whole capital,

only I deserve to marry him.

Shi Jin. Tell me the truth,

so that I can give up.

Give up

or you’ll retaliate?

You’ve underestimated me.

I’ll take back what I want

with my own hands.

People in Daye will know

I am

the only perfect match for him.

Miss Shi.

Greetings, Miss Shi.

Miss Shi.

Greetings.

Miss Shi.

Miss Shi.

Who do you think

is the fiancée of Count Cheng’an?

Shouldn’t it be Miss Feixian?

I’ve asked all the nobles in the capital,

but no one knows it.

It’s weird. Isn’t she of noble blood?

Don’t make wild guess.

When Count Cheng’an comes,

we can ask him about it.

What will you ask him?

Your Grace?

If I remember it correctly,

Your Grace isn’t invited for this poetry party.

Are Your Grace interested in poems?

I’m not interested.

Count Cheng’an insisted,

so I come here.

Thanks for your invitation, Miss Shi.

I come with my fiancée without prior notice.

Please pardon me, ladies.
