[General's Lady]

[Episode 2]

My lady, please rest here tonight.

He actually dismissed me to here.

Rou Rou.

Just now, he wasn't willing to speak an extra word to me.

In any case, I'm his wife! How could he be so cold?

Also there's that guy with the big bearded guy just now. I was almost murdered by him!

Miss, staying alive is the most important thing.

Did you say that all of his previous wives are dead? (phrase she use for dead - 死翘翘 si qiao qiao - is slang thus inappropriate)

I heard that they're all dead.

They wouldn't still be here, right?

Ladies, my lady didn't mean anything by that!

Please don't bother yourselves getting angry at her!

Amitabha. Amitabha. (merciful Buddha)

- That's enough! - Please don't bother yourselves getting angry at her.

It's just a house.

Even if a demon is cultivated, it would be a stone demon.

Please don't bother yourselves getting angry at her. Amitabha. Amitabha.

Rou Rou!

Could it be that he doesn't like me?

That's why he made me stay here.

How can that be possible, Miss? You're a natural beauty.

In this frontier fortress, out of a hundred people, there's not one person as beautiful as you.

This moon is the same as the one at home,

but this place really isn't suitable for anyone to stay in.

I promised Mother that I wouldn't make her worry.

Moreover, this is a marriage bestowed by the Emperor.

I must stay.

I can't implicate her.

Reporting to General, among the wedding entourage, there indeed was a spy. He has been killed.

Her Ladyship has already settled down.

How should she be dealt with?

After all, she's part of the royal family. How could we neglect her?

I will make the arrangements. You may leave.

Yes.

What? The general wants to come see me?

Yes.

Put all of these on me. I can't be a disgrace to the Rui Royal Manor.

Okay.

Put this on.

Rou Rou, do I look alright?

Really pretty! You can definitely charm everyone.

Miss, the general is here.

- General. - General.

My lady looks a little different today.

If you likes it, I can look like this everyday.

Your attitude today is vastly different to yesterday's.

What's your purpose for getting close to me?

As the saying goes, follow the man you marry, whether he be fowl or dog.

Since I am your wife, how could I not try to get close to you?

You have compared me to a fowl and a dog.

Then may I ask, what are you, my lady?

I am the daughter of the Rui Royal Manor,

the one bestowed by the Emperor to be General Chu Xiuming's wife.

Since you are set on being my wife,

then why was there a spy in your wedding entourage?

A spy?

This—

I didn't know!

Since we are speaking of it, I want to ask you,

why did your welcoming entourage escort me to such a dangerous place?

Could it be that you suspect that I am a spy?

You're overthinking, my lady.

These are local dishes prepared for you. It's dangerous out there,

please rest here for a few days.

No wait, I came here under the marriage order bestowed by the Emperor,

but I did not get a wedding ceremony. I'm afraid it'll be difficult to say we followed the imperial edict.

Moreover, for my mother's sake, I was forced to come here.

Please believe me, General.

General!

Dressing up for him was such a waste! I'm so angry!

He abandoned me and ignored me, but I let it go.

He is suspecting me of being a spy now.

Miss, I've heard that in the army, if someone is suspected of being a spy, they'll be killed.

Do you think they might have added poison to the food?

If this continues, we really will die.

Our old trick?

It's fine.

Miss?

[Yong Ning Manor]

- Miss. - My lady.

After observing your wife for so many days, it's truly strange,

I can't tell if she's a spy or not.

The Falcon Tribe hasn't had any movements recently. Go to the frontier fortress to figure out what is going on.

Yes!

Be careful.

Miss. It's so boring!

I'm about to go insane!

I'm also about to go insane from boredom.

Rou Rou, this is what that big head Zhang gave to me as collateral for his debt. [The Devil Lord Yongning]

I didn't expect it to be useful here.

I'll read it to you. Let's kill some time.

"The general's manor used to be a pit of thousands of prisoners,"

"with millions of dead bodies buried."

"It's full of evil spirits."

"The Demon General was the bane of others' existence, causing the deaths of his three wives."

"He kept them in the old house."

"They lived as his people, died as his ghosts,"

"never to be reincarnated."

"It's been said that in that old house,"

"there are often sounds of a woman weeping bitterly."

Miss, don't read anymore.

I won't be able to sleep at night.

This Chu Xiuming, using a handsome face, tricked me into giving him my weak trust!

I don't believe that I, Shen Jin, can't teach him a lesson!

Then, what do you plan on doing?

It's a wedding bestowed by the emperor and we aren't officially married yet.

Tell me, if his fourth wife is also killed,

then he didn't fulfill the Emperor's order,

and it confirms his nickname of "Devil General."

Then, don't you need die?

I don't want that! You can't die.

- If you die, what am I going to do? - Rou Rou.

I can't possibly die with you.

If you're dead, you are still the General's wife,

but what would I be?

We can't possibly write "General's wife's maidservant" on my tombstone.

I still haven't taken my husband's name.

Are you really that corwardly?

I have always been cowardly. Cowardly people live longer.

Moreover, if you're dead, there should be someone to take care of your funeral.

There must be someone to burn money and incense for you.

Also, if you want to confirm the title of "Devil General,"

there must be someone to spread the tale for you.

Don't worry. Leave all that to me!

I will definitely spread your unjust death

widely about and write it down in the annals.

What is this?

Poison.

Poison? Why would you have poison?

It's also something that big head Zhang gave me as collateral.

He said something about fake death.

What's real death and fake death? Is it really that miraculous?

What are you doing? You can't eat it, Miss.

Fake death, real death. What if it's a real death?

- Then I'll just die. - Miss!

Miss, how is it that you dare to eat anything?

Don't swallow it! Why did you swallow it?

Spit it out! Miss! Miss!

You swallowed it?

Wait! I'm going to get a doctor!

Someone come help! Help!

Someone come help! Help!

Someone quick come! Help!

- Guard it strictly. - Yes.

It's bad! It's bad!

Miss! My lady consumed poison!

- Quickly go get the doctor. - Yes!

It's so hot, it's so hot!

Hurry and give me some breeze!

What's up with this fake death medicine?

It's so hot!

W-w-wind!

Why did my tongue turn numb?

W-wind. W-wind.

What's going on with my tongue?

W-w-win-win.

My tongue!

Coming again, coming again, you come every day!

Aren't you tired of coming every day?

Coming again, I'm not going to run away. Really.

Leave with us! Or else...

Did the General send you two here?

I just took some medicine,

I'll be fine once the doctor comes.

Did he tell you two to escort me over there?

Put that down, knives are dangerous!

Put it down, put it down!

Why are you so violent?

- Let's go! - What are you doing?

Don't touch me you!

- I am the General's wife - Let's go!

- Go that way! - Don't touch me!

It's dangerous! You're so mean.

I don't know the way, this place is so big!

How can I go?

You lead the way! Lead the way!

Does she have connections with the Falcon Tribe?

Or is she a spy from court?

Could it be that she is a double-sided spy?

Why did she leave?

Didn't she just take some poison?

Go stay in the room. I'll go take a look.

Yes.

What's going on? Why do I feel so awful?

Hurry up!

This way!

Don't push me.

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Walk!

It's fine, it's fine, let her rest for a bit.

The Chieftain ordered us to abduct Chu Xiuming's new wife back

in order to avenge for our humiliation from last time's defeat.

We have successfully completed our mission today!

After we get back, let's first beat up this new wife.

We'll cut up her face and give her a good whipping, to avenge our fallen brothers.

Heroes can't resist a beauty!

Chu Xiuming will sacrifice anything to save his wife.

At that time,...he would have fallen into our trap.

We will then use her life to exchange for Chu Xiuming's life!

Shut up!

W-what's going on?

Wake up! Don't fake being dead!

T-t-this! She's dead!

The Chieftain told us to capture her alive!

W-w-what should we do?

T-this...

I misunderstood you.

Get up and go back to the manor with me.

I misunderstood you.

You are not a spy from the Falcon Tribe.

Due to my misjudgment, you lost your life.

It is my fault.

No matter what, you are still my wife.

You are now dead.

Seeing that you are filial,

coming here for your mother's sake,

I will take good care of your mother.

I'll bring you back home.

[Yong Ning Manor]

Miss!

Miss! Miss, say something!

What's wrong, Miss?

Don't ignore me!

Miss! Miss!

General! I heard that someone from the Falcon Tribe broke in. How is the situation?

Two people from the Falcon Tribe dressed as soldiers

and broke into the manor to take Her Ladyship away.

- Her Ladyship is already... - Miss!

Miss, don't abandon me!

Miss!

- You— - Miss!

Chu Xiuming, I guess you do have a conscience.

This fake death medicine's works slowly and lasts for so long.

- You- - I'm really...

Why did you eat that fake death medicine?

What if you really died?

I wouldn't die, I wouldn't die.

I feel awful.

My Lady. I want something from you.

What?

This?

Yes.

Here.

Thank you, my Lady.

Why do you want this?

Just give it to me!

Why should I give it just because you want it?

My apologies, my Lady.

Give it back to me!

- Help! Men! - My Lady. My Lady, let me go.

He's stealing!

- Help! - Lady!

Let go of me!

You—

Miss! Miss! What's wrong?

Miss!

Take good care of her.

- You! - Miss Rou Rou.

- You bullied her! - It's a misunderstanding.

Miss Rou Rou!

- It's a misunderstanding, don't hit me. Miss Rou Rou! - Stop right there!

Miss Rou Rou, it's really a misunderstanding.

My Lady, I want something from you.

Why do you want this?

General, this is Her Ladyship's luggage.

[The Devil Lord Yong Ning]

[The Devil Lord Yongning]

[They lived as his people, died as his ghosts, never to be reincarnated.]

[It's been said that in that old house, there are often sounds of a woman weeping bitterly.]

Bao Zitou.

Do you know that I am the "Devil General"?

On the battlefield, you are indeed that.

General. Is there a problem with this jade pendant?

Then what should we do with Her Ladyship?

Once she wakes up, she'll continue to make a fuss.

Perhaps she really does have what I want.

I will secretly observe everything she does.

At the right time, I must get to know something from her.

Rou Rou.

Miss, you're awake?

What happened? Why did I faint?

Did that devil king take my pendant? I'm going to ask him for it!

Miss! Miss!

Why is the door locked?

That big beard locked it. He's afraid that we'll run away.

I begged him for half a day but it was useless.

Isn't that devil king being too petty?

Petty?

He has very much underestimated me.

Continue.

There is nothing unusual among the Falcon Tribe troops.

However, I predict that they are preparing for an ambush.

Make preparations for their arrival.

Yes, General.

Her Ladyship's identity...

Her actions are indeed strange.

Whether she is a spy or not still required investigating.

What must we do?

Carefully observe her.

General. This lock was ingeniously made.

It was made by the successor of the Heavenly Lock Sect.

There is no way she can escape this time.

Did he want to stop me with such a trivial efforts?

As a child I could escape even the steel box that Shen Zi and Shen Jing locked me in.

This is a child's toy. He really looks down upon me.

Rou Rou, I'm going now.

Where are you going?

Are you going to go get the jade pendant back from the General?

Will he return it just because I want it back?

I can't win him in a fight and I can't just take it from him.

If I want the jade pendant, I can only get it myself!

Let me get revenge for this lock first.

We must be completely on guard.

We cannot give the Falcon Tribe any opportunities.

Yes.

Chu Xiuming! You petty man!

You wanted to lock me up with a flimsy lock?

Let me tell you. I openly walked out of my room!

You want to confine me? Not a chance!

You made a mistake and now I returned the favor.

I'm going to leave the manor and have some fun!

I'll deal with you once I'm not angry anymore!

See where she is going.

[Yong Ning Manor]

My fellow horse, are you free today?

Look, I don't know my way around here.

I'll have to rely on you to take me to some fun places.

Once I've eaten my fill, I definitely won't treat you poorly.

My fellow horse! Slow down!

Wait for me! My fellow horse!

What is this?

Small toys!

What is that?

My fellow horse, stop for a moment, I want to eat that.

My fellow horse, stop for a moment.

Stop for a moment, fellow horse.

Don't go!

My fellow horse.

Let me get down, my fellow horse.

I want to eat this.

My fellow horse.

It really is hard to get off a horse. If I knew, I wouldn't have gotten on.

Fellow horse, where are you going? Can you tell me?

My fellow horse.

Calico! Painted umbrella!

Fellow horse, can you really take me out of the city?

You're amazing!

Stop! Who are you?

You dare to ride the General's warhorse?

I—

I am your General's wife!!

A mere horse thief yet you dare to pretend to be the General's wife?

Another crime added. Capture her!

Hey! Wait a second!

It's a misunderstanding!

Cut the nonsense! Arrest her!

Stop!

You were in the wrong first.

If you didn't use this flimsy thing to lock me up, would I have locked you up?

How... did you open this heavenly lock?

How hard could that be? This—

You seem very skilled at opening locks.

Before you married me,

have you had similar experiences?

It's all in the past, there's no need to bring it back up.

I'll only ask you one thing. His Majesty bestowed this marriage and order he to marry you as soon as I arrived,

yet you keep dragging out time.

This is an insult to imperial decree!

I could send someone to report to His Majesty and have you punished.

You are correct, my Lady.

This time, I have not made proper arrangements. It is my fault.

Please calm down first, my Lady.

Do you want me to calm down? That is easy.

You just need to fulfill my three conditions.

First, I can go in and out of the manor whenever I want.

Second, I must ride your horse out of the city right now.

Don't worry, I won't run away.

Besides, your horse is so slow, I can't run away even if I wanted to.

Third...

I have not thought of it yet. I'll tell you when I think of it.

I can agree to allow you to enter and leave the manor as you please

but leaving the city on my horse...why?

I lost all face at the city gates today, I must get it all back! (TN: "face" means dignity, respect, etc.)

I'm sure you wouldn't dare to run away.

If you run away...I'll kill Rou Rou.

I already said I won't run away, I just need to get back some face!

That's right, that's right, General!

She has promised you that she definitely won't run away!

Alright. Then I will give my order right now.

I will have the guards at the city gates let you out.

Thank you General!

I forgot to tell you. I don't know how to ride a horse.

General, you know how to ride, right?

[Yong Ning Manor]

- What are you doing? - Riding a horse.

Didn't we agree that I'd ride the horse out of the city?

Didn't you also say you don't know how to ride?

No! Who says I can't? I want to ride!

Then get on.

Men and women should keep their distance.

You are my wife. That rule does not apply.

I am a general after all,

where would my face be if I am seen leading a horse like a stable boy?

Don't overthink it.

I am only in charge of your safety. I have no other intentions.

[Yong Ning Manor]

Let's go.

[Yong Ning Manor]

Hello, General.

General.

Hello General.

Hello General.

Greetings, General.

You may rise.

Look carefully! I am your General's wife!

The sun rides high in the sky, what a nice sight.

Life should be lived enjoying oneself completely.

I got my face back. This horse is too slow though.

General, you must get a new horse! This one is too slow!

I already told you, but you wouldn't believe me.

Look! He's not moving.

My Lady, sit tight.

Do you like this place?

"If we are drunk, crouching on the battlefield, do not laugh,

since the old times, how many men return from war?" [T/N : two strophes from Liangzhou verse]

The scenery along the way is very beautiful, but I don't like it.

You...are you worried about me?

Why should I worry about you?

I am your husband.

If you don't worry about me, who would you worry about?

I am only your wife in name. You treat me like a bird in a cage.

General, when can I be a wife who can live freely?

From now on, you can go anywhere you want in the manor.

If you want to go outside, then tell me.

I'll have someone go with you.

Then...can I go to your room and study as well?

Alright. I'll comply with your wishes.

This is great! Quickly, let's ride around some more.

The kitchen always delivers the same few dishes.

I already told them to make some of the dishes you like

but they would say it's expensive to send ingredients here.

So stingy.

I haven't been full ever since I came here.

Miss. Did something good happen when you were out riding the horse?

Something good? No.

However, we can go wherever we want in the manor now. We can also go out.

This is great! I never imagined that this general, who looks cruel and mean,

is actually not a bad person.

How is he not bad? You heard it yourself.

He said if I run away, he'll kill you!

I heard nothing.

Don't worry, I won't run away.

Let's just live here and be well.

There's nothing bad about the situation now.

Miss. You seem a bit different.

How so?

Have I become prettier?

If I were to speak like the Second Young Lady,

"love ripples through your heart." (she has fallen in love)

Rou Rou. Eat some more vegetables.

You need to grow taller. Once cold, the dishes aren't tasty anymore.

That's right, Miss. Did you get your jade pendant back?

I was having so much fun I forgot!

Tomorrow. I'll get it back tomorrow for sure.

This squash is really good!

My Lady, come on in.

General, have some tea, have some tea.

Just be frank with me.

General.

Can you give me my jade pendant back?

Where did you get this from?

My mother.

Then when your mother gave it to you, did she say anything to you?

Seeing how he is so ancious,

he must have some motive.

Let me think about it.

Well?

I can't remember.

This is no small matter. My Lady, please think carefully.

He really does want something.

Lately, I have suffered from hunger and cold. I have been anxious and scared.

My brain is about to go bad.

I must have some kind of food to nourish it.

There is no way of knowing whether I will remember or not.

- Then Rou Rou... - Stop using Rou Rou to threaten me, okay?

I'll give you one day. You must remember.

How could one day be enough?

Then how many days do you want?

Three hundred days.

Do you believe that I can have you killed in three days?

I-I believe you...

Of course I believe that.

But the more you scare me like this, the foggier my mind is.

Then what do you want?

Mend accordingly to the problem!

If I'm starving, give me something good to eat!

If I'm tired, serve me well!

Only then can I properly recover.

That way, I can "know with reservation and speak of what I don't know" in regards to what you want to know.

It's "say all you know and say it without reserve."

That's all about the same.

It just means that I'll tell you everything, okay?

- Bao Zitou! - Here!

General.

Satisfy all of her requests for food and things.

Yes.

I'll only give you three days.

You must keep your word, once said, you cannot take it back. I will not be courteous then.

Bao Zitou, let's go!

Miss, hurry and eat!

Eat. Eat with me.

Then I'll eat as well.

Where did you get this jade pendant from?

My mother.

[Bonus Scene]

Bao Zitou, I just want to ask.

That-what is the punishment for stealing a warhorse?

Fifty beatings from the army cane.

Then...what about stealing a general's horse?

Double that then. 100 beatings.

What if that person steals the General's horse and then runs out with it?

Beaten to death.
