[Beyond the Realm of Conscience]

Episode Thirty-Three

General Ma, here's His Majesty's seal.

Lau Sam Ho, on your knees.

I haven't done anything wrong. Why do you want me to kneel?

- Lady Lai. - At ease.

Much obliged, my lady.

Lady Tak, you are so wicked. Her Highness was so nice to you.

But you killed her.

I didn't. Don't smear me.

You still deny it? You said the empress needed rest quietly.

You forbade me from coming to Ching Sz Chamber.

You wanted to isolate her so you can kill her.

I didn't kill the empress. I was set up.

You think His Majesty loves you.

So you made up his decree and used his seal to back you up.

You think you can decide by yourself whether you are innocent? No way.

You keep saying that I killed the empress. Why would I do that?

What benefit would I get?

The empress was getting well.

You thought you would lose the chance to rule the palace. So you killed her.

Besides, Tsz Lan and Sheung Yee were drowned in the fish pond.

I believe you killed them too.

You took three lives without a twitch. You are so wicked.

Officer Kan and General Tseung are the witnesses. You can't deny it.

You murdered the empress. It's a capital offense.

Lau Sam Ho murdered the empress. There's concrete evidence.

She will be executed. Take her out.

Yes, sir.

No. You guys can't execute me.

If the emperor breaks the law, he's guilty like a commoner.

You guys say I broke the law. I deserve to be executed.

But the baby I'm carrying didn't do anything wrong. You may kill me.

But you can't kill His Majesty's son. Who dares hurt him?

How can you account for that to His Majesty?

How can you account for that to the royal family?

Even though Lau Sam Ho deserves to be executed

His Majesty's child mustn't be hurt.

Otherwise, we'll be held guilty.

So long as I'm carrying His Majesty's baby, you guys can't hurt me.

Whether I'll live or die is for His Majesty to decide when he returns to the palace.

It's not up to you Ma Yuen Chi or Lady Lai to decide.

Fine. I won't kill you for the time being.

I'll report to His Majesty what you've done.

We'll make a decision later.

From today onward, Lady Tak will be confined to Tak Hing Chamber.

Guard the place round the clock.

- This is my order. - Yes, sir.

I really don't get it.

We've set the trap for Lau Sam Ho. There's concrete evidence.

Why did you still spare her life, General Ma?

Why don't you simply kill her?

As Officer Kan and General Tseung said, Lau Sam Ho is carrying His Majesty's baby.

We can't kill her.

General Ma, you are the Acting Chief Executive. What's their rank?

Even you have to listen to them?

I say we should kill Lau Sam Ho lest there will be further trouble.

It's exactly because I'm the Acting Chief Executive

that I can't make decisions unilaterally.

I must take other people's advice. You want Lau Sam Ho to die.

You don't need to take her life yourself. Now she's confined to her chamber.

Her baby is safe.

But who knows that maybe a few days later

Lau Sam Ho will kill herself feeling guilty for what she did.

General Ma, you are really so clever. I must learn from you.

You're welcome, my lady.

If you hadn't figured out using Her Highness's life to trade for this seal

and planted the evidence, I wouldn't have seized control so soon.

You are smart, my lady.

You killed two birds with one stone and paved the way for me.

Those who take side with me will live, and those who don't will die.

Tsz Lan and Sheung Yee wouldn't listen to me, so they were drowned.

On the contrary, Master Pak changed his allegiance.

So he's fine. He stays alive.

Only Lau Sam Ho is so stupid. She knew she would get killed.

But she insisted on doing so.

Your Majesty, General Man has come.

Thank you.

General Man, I received Major Tsang's confidential letter

and learned that you were rescued.

I know you are physically weak. But you just had some rest.

Then you hurried to Juzhou. You've suffered so much for my sake.

Before, Prince Qi refused to see me Now you've come here, General Man.

I believe Prince Qi will change his mind for sure.

- Master Bao. - Yes, Your Majesty.

Go tell Prince Qi right away that General Man wants to see him.

Yes, Your Majesty.

[Prince Qi's residence]

Ma Yuen Chi tortured you like this, General Man.

I really want to kill him.

Ma Yuen Chi is corrupt. He's set up the good people.

He's made the administration a mess. He even tried to kill me.

He's unforgivable. He's Tang's nightmare unless he's eliminated.

Back then Ma Yuen Chi killed the late Emperor Mo Chung

on the pretext of fox hunting.

I will never forget that he killed my father.

I've decided to eliminate Ma Yuen Chi. I want to wipe out his gang.

But he's in command of the army.

So I want to borrow some troops from you to help me eliminate this bad guy.

I hope you will put aside what happened before and agree to send your troops

for the sake of the people of Tang.

Forgive me for being direct.

Ever since Your Majesty came to the throne, Prince Qi has come to the understanding

that the people of Tang must come first.

As you know Prince Qi is the late Emperor Mo Chung's eldest son.

In theory, he should succeed to the throne.

But Your Majesty got Ma Yuen Chi's help and became the emperor.

Your Majesty is the emperor now. I must learn to accept my destiny.

So I've been content with my position. I've never thought of competing with you.

Now Your Majesty and Ma Yuen Chi go different ways.

It's an internal conflict between you two. Outsiders shouldn't take part in it.

But right now the country is in trouble. Can you really sit back, Prince Qi?

Maybe it's time Your Majesty understood what destiny means.

If Your Majesty is predestined to be the emperor

you will somehow figure out a way to deal with this evil.

- I... - I want to catch up with General Man.

I hope you don't mind.

- Fei Yin. - Fei Yin.

Chief Chung, why do you want to see me?

Does Lady Lai know you come here to see us?

I wouldn't come if she does.

If my conjecture is right, you guys want to see me because of Lady Tak?

Not just because of her but you as well, Fei Yin.

You've served Lady Lai for so long. You know her better than we do.

She's narrow-minded and capricious. I bet you've suffered a lot.

The red packet Lady Lai gives me every month is worth more than my annual salary.

So what?

Back then she and Lady Tak were like sisters.

They could even trust each other with their own lives. How about now?

She set her up. She wants to kill her.

You should know very well what happened in Ching Sz Chamber.

I do. Lady Tak killed the empress. She's guilty.

This is only what other people say. You know what actually happened.

What are you guys talking about?

We want you to tell the truth.

Lady Lai is never satisfied.

To get what she wants, she will do anything.

You know so many of her secrets.

Maybe someday, she wants to cover up what she's done.

What's the big deal in killing a maid like you?

Tsz Lan and Sheung Yee are the best examples.

It's so meaningless if you can't stay alive to enjoy the red packets.

Fei Yin, you serve Lady Lai for the sake of fame and fortune.

If you stand up to testify for Lady Tak's innocence to clear her name.

I'll give you my post of department head in the Furnishings Department

when Lady Tak is in control of the administration again.

Or you may take my post as the Head of Food.

I can give you my post of Bureau Chief too.

- You will let me be Bureau Chief? - Yes.

You mean if I testify for Lady Tak's innocence

and say that Lady Lai planted the evidence to set her up

you guys will allow me to manage the Imperial Household Bureau?

- You will make me the Bureau Chief? - That's right.

By the name of Heavenly father, if Lady Tak is proven innocent, we'll keep our promise.

and recommend you to Lady Tak for the post of Bureau Chief.

That's our promise.

No, I'm grateful to Lady Lai. How could I frame her as you guys suggest?

I can't conspire with you guys to set up Lady Lai.

Arrest them.

So you guys really want to set me up.

Lady Lai, General Ma.

- Fei Yin, you... - You...

How dare you! You are the Chief of the Bureau, Chief Chung.

How dare you team up with your subordinates to make her say something untrue?

It's lucky that Fei Yin is loyal to me.

Otherwise, I'll become Lady Tak's scapegoat.

Now Officer Kan and General Tseung are the witnesses.

You guys can't deny it.

General Ma, the three of them tried to set me up.

They played tricks to disturb the proper order in the palace.

How should they be sentenced?

According to Tang law, they will be executed.

We were so naive. We thought we could convince Fei Yin to help us.

Now we've become prisoners too.

Sam Ho will be in a more dangerous situation.

My lady.

You guys are going to die. You are still thinking about how to save Lau Sam Ho?

I'm moved by your friendship for her.

Lady Lai has come to see you. Why haven't you curtsy to her?

Forget it, Fei Yin. I came to say goodbye to my former bosses.

Let's forget the formalities.

We've got nothing to talk to you. Please leave.

You don't, but I do. The Execution Bureau has decided to carry out the execution

on the twenty-sixth day of this month at eleven in the morning.

Soon, you guys can serve the empress again in hell.

You are so wicked. You will die terribly sooner or later.

It's Lau Sam Ho who's going to die.

Sam Ho was like a sister to you. Why are you so ungrateful?

You've forgotten your friendship with her? Why do you insist on killing her?

As you say, it was our friendship then. Now Lau Sam Ho has killed the empress.

We aren't friends anymore. I hate her.

Why are you so stubborn? Sam Ho is innocent.

Innocent? No one in the palace is innocent.

You are smacked because you don't know how to please others.

You three must die because you think you are smart.

Lau Sam Ho and her baby will die because she loves authority. She's arrogant.

She's asked for this. It has nothing to do with anyone.

You've killed so many people.

Aren't you afraid of their ghosts coming back to take your life?

Ghosts? Are you talking about Bo Kat Cheung?

I forgot to tell you that when he died he didn't even look at me.

He didn't even dare to disturb me in my dreams, not to mention taking my life.

You killed Kat Cheung? I will avenge his death.

What are you guys doing? How dare you!

- Stop it. - Stop it.

How dare you! You want to hit me? Fine. You want to be with him, right?

Your wish is granted. You can be with him in hell.

You don't need to return me this favor.

I would also allow Yuen Tsui Wan, Tam Yim Sheung and Lau Sam Ho

to go to hell together so they can attend your wedding banquet.

Isn't that fun?

Yiu Kam Ling, you will die terribly.

Today I didn't come to ask Prince Qi to send the troops.

I want to make a deal with you.

I became the emperor as I wanted to bring happiness to the people.

If you can take out the evil and restore the administration

for the happiness of the people and the peace of the country

my wish will be fulfilled.

It doesn't matter if I'm the emperor or not.

To eliminate Ma Yuen Chi, you will give up your throne?

If Prince Qi agrees to send his troops to help me

I will abdicate from the throne when the task is accomplished.

He will become the emperor.

But this is a verbal promise.

To show my sincerity, I have already prepared a written decree.

When I attend the administration again, I'll announce the decree.

I'll then abdicate so that Prince Qi will become the emperor.

I'm informed that Lau Sam Ho finishes all the food everyday. Her life is regular.

She doesn't seem to feel worried.

To keep her baby safe, of course she will make herself feel calm.

She thinks she won't die as long as she's carrying His Majesty's baby.

I'll see how long she can keep her baby safe.

It's almost eleven.

Come to the cell with me.

I want to see those lousy women of the Imperial Household Bureau

being escorted to the execution ground.

- Yes, my lady. - Lady Lai, we are in trouble. Lady Lai.

Why are you in panic?

His Majesty is leading Prince Qi's troops fighting all the way into the city.

His Majesty?

Tang Fung Gate has been taken down.

His Majesty is leading Prince Qi's troops

fighting the Special Tactics Force at the bridge.

The Force can't hold them back anymore. How did Prince Qi's troops get in so fast?

It's impossible we didn't hear anything beforehand.

Major Tsang is a mole working for His Majesty.

He provided assistance to His Majesty

so Prince Qi's troops could come all the way in.

Where's General Law? Ask him to come see me right away.

- Major Tsang has killed him. - What?

General Ma, what's going on?

Master Pak said His Majesty is coming into the city with Prince Qi's troops.

You said His Majesty would never come back. Why is he now coming back with the troops?

Why? Why? Why don't you ask His Majesty personally when you see him later?

Get me a horse. Remove all the valuables in the vault.

We must get out of the palace before that lousy emperor comes here.

General Ma, take me with you.

You will be a liability to me. Leave me alone. Let go.

No. If you don't take me with you, you can't leave.

You think you can hold me back? Get lost.

My lady!

Ma Yuen Chi, you want to get away after making so much trouble?

I've offended so many people for your sake. How can you be so irresponsible?

You are a willing party. I've never asked you to join me.

Did I have a choice? You forced me! You wanted me to fake pregnancy.

Then you made me kill the empress.

I put Lau Sam Ho under custody and suppressed the Imperial Household Bureau.

You forced me to do all those things.

I forced you? If you hadn't poisoned the empress, how could I have forced you?

Just blame yourself for being so wicked. You've asked for this.

If you didn't tell me that His Majesty would never come back

I wouldn't have done all these things. I wouldn't have done so.

You are greedy. You are never satisfied. You've asked for this.

It isn't my fault at all.

Ma Yuen Chi, you useless eunuch!

My lady.

I smacked you so you'll remember never to show me disrespect.

- Ma Yuen Chi. - Shut up.

You hit me?

I give you this stab so you'll remember that you get killed if you hit me.

You...

Ma Yuen Chi, you useless eunuch. You are a thug.

You want to get away from this? You want to leave?

I won't allow you to do so. Let's go to hell together.

You are so cold-blooded.

You are so useless. You want me to get killed?

You call yourself a General? Tell you what.

You aren't just defeated by His Majesty. You are defeated by me too. Go to hell.

Go to hell now.

You will die terribly. God will punish you.

I'll kill you right now.

My lady, what shall we do now? His Majesty will be here soon.

Shall we pack our stuff and leave now? My lady.

Do I get anywhere to go now?

You don't need to sew it anymore. Your baby won't get a chance to wear it.

Why do you come here? To bring you good news.

His Majesty is coming into the city with Prince Qi's troops.

He will come to see you very soon.

His Majesty is back? He's really made it.

His Majesty will take over the administration again very soon.

It's because I've already killed Ma Yuen Chi.

But even when His Majesty's back, it doesn't mean he can save you.

What? You think I'm carrying a sword?

If I want to kill you, I don't need any weapon.

How is the congee?

There's poison in the congee?

Lau Sam Ho, you've been stupid for your whole life.

But this time you've become smart before you die.

Why are you doing this to me, Kam Ling? Why?

I just said you're smart. Why do you ask such a stupid question again so soon?

Hey, do you think I can still be Lady Lai when His Majesty returns?

As I can't escape anyway, I want you to die before me. Why?

Why does everyone in the palace takes side with you?

Why does everyone compliment you?

Speak good words, do good deeds and show goodwill? That's crap.

Cut your distorted philosophy.

Everything I say is true. Everyone in the palace is cunning and tricky.

The maids compete for authority and promotion.

The ladies compete for His Majesty's favor and love.

There isn't true friendship in the palace. Everyone fakes her feelings.

I'm defeated by you because of luck.

You're wrong. You are defeated by your own heart. Your heart is filled with hate.

You are unscrupulous You've failed to win people's heart.

You end up like this because of your evil heart.

It has nothing to do with others.

A person must plan only for herself.

I don't believe in karma or poetic justice. Tell you what.

Both you and your mom are so stupid.

What are you talking about?

The poison will kill you soon.

I'll tell you what happened so you could go in peace.

Back then, your mom died because the phoenix bled.

Actually I looked at the hairpin the night before. I dropped the wax on it.

Your mom knew that. She didn't expose me. She even told us to be good sisters.

She told us to support each other. She's really so stupid.

I guess she never expected that she would get her own daughter killed.

- You are really incorrigible. - You are the one who's incorrigible.

You will go to see your mom in hell very soon.

Here comes His Majesty.

Your Majesty.

Sam Ho.

- Seize her. - Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, you came too late. Lau Sam Ho has taken the poison.

You'd better prepare a body bag for her.

Summon the imperial doctor right away. Yes, Your Majesty.

Your Majesty, Lady Tak hasn't taken any poison.

What?

I regretted being Lady Lai's accomplice so much.

So I didn't listen to her order to put poison in the congee to kill Lady Tak.

I hope this could set off my wrongdoings. I beg Your Majesty to spare my life.

Chin Fei Yin, you betrayed me?

My lady, you taught me that a person must plan for herself.

You taught me to assess the situation and do the right thing.

I did so to stay alive.

You've ruined my plan. I want to kill you...

Yiu Kam Ling, you conspired with Ma Yuen Chi

to hurt innocent people and kill the empress.

You are unforgivable. You must be executed.

Your Majesty, you can't kill me.

Do you remember what you told me on the day

I tried acupuncture therapy for Sam Ho?

When I stayed in the monastery, the master in charge gave me a safety charm.

It has protected me. Now I'll give it to you.

If Your Majesty wants to kill me, you would breach your own promise.

Fine. I won't kill you, but I don't want to see you ever again.

From today onward

Lady Lai will be confined to Tsz Mei Chamber until she grows old and dies.

Lau Sam Ho, you hear that?

No matter how many bad things I've done, I still get to stay alive.

Even the emperor can't do anything about it.

I'm the winner in the end. I'm the winner.

- Long live Your Majesty. - At ease.

Much obliged, Your Majesty.

I was set up by Ma Yuen Chi. Thanks to the blessing of the ancestors.

I got away and went to Juzhou. I got Prince Qi to help me.

He sent his troops to take out the evil and restore the administration.

I owe it to all the loyal officers who died for the country.

Although this evil is taken out now

in retrospect, I realize all these bad things happened

because I had failed to expel the bad guy from the administration

when I first came to the throne.

I've failed to manage well. I've failed the people.

I've decided to abdicate from the throne.

Prince Qi will become the emperor.

Your Majesty.

Please reconsider it, Your Majesty.

I've already decided. I've prepared a decree.

Will Guardian Pang please read it out aloud.

Your Majesty, I've never to become the emperor.

This time the wicked officer started a rebellion.

To save the country, you are even ready to give up your throne.

You are kind-hearted. You are a good emperor.

It's a blessing for the people of Tang to live under your rule. I admire you.

Long live Your Majesty.

There hasn't been any change in the Bureau in all these years.

Actually there are. We just didn't realize it.

For example, the tree has grown taller. The path has got shorter.

Even the houses look lower.

It must be because we aren't children anymore.

We walk faster and look further.

When I was outside the palace before, I found it so beautiful.

I wanted so much to come in. When I came in, I worked as a maid.

I thought I would feel so proud to work in the Imperial Household Bureau.

I wanted so much to join the four departments.

When we became student maids

we thought it would be great to become department heads.

When we became department heads

we thought it would be superb to become the Bureau Chief.

Now you are the Bureau Chief. Your dream has come true.

So is yours. Lady Tak told me that His Majesty has given you the permission

to leave the palace and return to your hometown with General Man.

You are free to go any time.

It's been so many years.

I can't believe I still have a chance to live up to my promise back then.

I know you still love General Man. What a shame that he's badly injured.

When we work as a maid, we serve the masters.

We have to put up with all sorts of adversities.

We feel pathetic for ourselves.

We think our lives are cheap.

But when I come to think about it.

I feel that sometimes if you can serve others, it's a blessing.

It's because there's still someone

for whom you can sacrifice and give willingly without any complaint or regret.

Yes. I've had such feeling for Kat Cheung too before. I felt lucky.

Suet Ha.

I'm fine. There's still this Purple Bamboo Wood for Kat Cheung.

I'll tidy up the place from time to time. I can still do something for him.

Remember to write to me after you leave.

I haven't received a letter for a long time.

Suet Ha.

Don't cry. I like it better when you stared at me and looked mad

the way you talked back to me before.

Godmother... Godmother, I've found it.

Well, did I make the right guess? I've checked the record.

The date written on the prescription

matches the record of godfather going outside the palace back then.

That's great.

What are you two talking about?

This is a gift from Siu Shun and me for your departure.

It's a prescription?

I found it by chance when I packed Kat Cheung's stuff.

It's dated a few days after you had given birth to your son and put him in the river.

I've checked the record for eunuchs going outside the palace to buy stuff.

It's confirmed that godfather went to Shangzhou in August that year.

This Rejuvenation Drugstore is right in Shangzhou too.

The symptoms written on the prescription are those for a baby.

I suspect that Kat Cheung carried your baby outside the palace to see the doctor.

If it is just an ordinary prescription, godfather wouldn't keep it till now.

There's an address on this prescription. There's the name of the drugstore too.

You can go there with General Man. There's a chance you may find your child.

Suet Ha, Siu Shun, thank you very much.

Why are you guys still standing here? Go inside. Let's chat while we eat.

The food is ready.

All of us in the four departments are waiting in the Food Department.

All right, let's go inside to talk. All of us are here today. Let's enjoy the meal.

- Let's go. - Come on.

- Sam Ho. - Your Majesty.

What are you thinking about? The Phoenix Welcoming the Sun?

Yes. Mom made this hairpin. It still shines after so many years.

But the people and our reality have become totally different now.

Not really. I know some people and things will never change.

Your Majesty... You don't need to say anything further.

From the way you look at me, I know you treat me like you did before.

It shows that you've never changed the way you feel about me.

You are still my Sam Ho, my good friend.

That's it.

I can never return Your Majesty's feelings.

I can't take this from Your Majesty. Please take it back.

I've got the country and the people, but I can't have the one I love the most.

I love Hin Yeung the most, but I respect Your Majesty the most.

You can always make me feel sweetness in bitterness.

Sam Ho, what can I do for you in the days to come?

I hope Your Majesty will give me your permission to leave the palace.

I made a promise with Hin Yeung to return to Yangzhou and settle down there.

So I want to return to Yangzhou.

I'll plant wild Chinese viburnum trees in front of the house.

I'll put a lamp at the door. I'll wait for Hin Yeung to join me someday.

But before I leave, I hope Your Majesty will promise me three things.

Tell me.

Mom made this hairpin. I want to take it with me.

Sure.

Although Kam Ling did many bad things she's got her due punishment already.

I hope Your Majesty will be kind and forgive her.

No problem.

Last but not least, I hope Your Majesty

will take care and become a good emperor whom everyone admires.

I don't have the competence to become the one you love the most.

But I still have the competence to become the one you respect the most.

Mom.

Sam Ho, Kam Ling, from now on the palace will be our home.

I'll give you some candies. You won't feel so bitter then.

The sweet lotus seeds are very sweet. When you feel bitter, eat one.

There's sweetness in bitterness.

[Rejuvenation Drugstore]

It's the most misty and rainy in these few months in Shangzhou.

You two are from other places. Of course you aren't used to it.

You will get a headache.

Besides, old master Man's blood circulation is somehow blocked.

He will feel tired easily.

Doctor Man, you are such a good doctor although you are so young.

I'm not young. I was born in the year of the dragon.

Your name is Man Yue. Were you born in the rainy season?

No, I was born in August.

What a coincidence? Our son was born in the same month and the same year.

The fortune teller said those who were born in August in the year of the dragon

are lucky with their parents.

You can't believe what a fortune teller says completely.

My case is partly right. My dad is devoted to medicine.

He isn't married. I'm only his adopted son.

Although I don't get a mom, my dad is still very nice to me. Dad.

Dad, how's old master Chiu? Can he get off the bed?

He feels much better now. He said you massage him every other day.

Now his legs feel stronger.

Dad, you're home? I've cooked. Why don't you wash your face first?

- Lunch is ready. - Good.

- Yuen Yee. - Yes?

It's hot today. I'll go to the village entrance to hand out the medicine myself.

- You stay here. Don't wear yourself out. - I'm fine. I feel happy doing so.

You two are kind to give medicine for free. Your baby will be so clever.

Here's a bell. I want to give it to the baby.

The craftsmanship is so delicate.

The bell keeps the baby safe and healthy We get the same last name.

We have the chance to meet here It's just a petty gift for you.

Thank you, Missus Man.

I'll thank Missus Man on behalf of the baby.

This pack of medicine is complimentary. Please accept it, Missus Man.

You are so fair and honest like my husband. You always return someone's favor.

Well, Missus Man, where are you two heading for?

The boat doesn't depart everyday.

At first we wanted to go to Yizhou.

But now, I think my husband likes Shangzhou very much. Maybe we won't leave.

We'll buy a house here and enjoy the neighborhood and the scenery here.

Excuse me. Which path shall we take to go to the Imperial Household Bureau?

You two work in the Imperial Household Bureau?

We are newly recruited student maids.

I'm a member of the Bureau too. I made jewels in the Jewels Department.

But you aren't wearing the uniform of the Jewels Department.

It's because I'm a good girl.

His Majesty loves me. He's made me his lady.

Later when I carry a baby for His Majesty, he will even make me queen.

Let's go.

Hey, where are you two going?

The Imperial Household Bureau is over there.

Oh.

Wait. I'm not finished. Don't trick other people in the palace.

You won't have a happy ending if you have evil thoughts. You must model on me.

Speak good words, do good deeds and show goodwill. Do you understand?

All right.

Give me a curtsy.

Then walk along this path to return to the Imperial Household Bureau.

Sis, what's your name?

I'm Lady Tak. My name is Lau Sam Ho.

Everyone in the palace says I'm kind and virtuous.

May we be excused, Lady Tak.

You two must support and help each other out. Do you understand?

Sam Ho, Kam Ling.

[Yangzhou]

Missus Ko, the hairpins you asked me to sell are the best in craftsmanship.

They get the highest prices. Can you make more of them?

Every hairpin must be unique and creative.

It takes time to make them. I'll do my best.

King Fa.

- Let's go. - All right, mom.

- King Fa. - Yes.

Do you know there are many flowers

today on the wild Chinese viburnum trees outside our house?

- Really? How many? - I didn't count them.

Let me count them then.

We count the flowers in the morning and the stars at night.

Here.

Is the flower sewn on it the most famous wild Chinese viburnum in Yangzhou?

Yes.

Hin Yeung said there must be wild Chinese viburnum trees outside the house.

Where there are the flowers, there's our home.

We'll plant wild Chinese viburnum trees outside the house.

We'll sit under the trees. I want to plant a gingko tree there too.

The wild Chinese viburnum blossoms between spring and summer.

When the flowers wither in fall, there will be the golden gingko.

We can also eat the fruits.

We'll make sweet soup with them.

You told Sam Ho to put a lamp at the door.

When it's evening time, the lamp will show Hin Yeung the way home.

Sam Ho, this will come true very soon.
