My Heroic Husband

Episode 13

I've built the biggest

munitions warehouse for Wu Dynasty in Lin'an.

Now, there are five hundred thousand catties black powder,

three hundred cannons.

which are ready for battles at any time!

Your Majesty,

whether we can establish a sustainable foundation

and bring forever peace to Wu Dynasty

all depend on this!

Minister,

where have you been?

I've been worried sick!

I'm old.

I went take a walk after dinner

to help me digest.

Something really bad happened!

Minister Liang,

take a look at outside.

Did the sky fall?

It… It didn't.

Is His Majesty well?

His Majesty is very well.

Then

there's nothing I should be worried about.

Calm yourself and tell me.

Right Chancellor Qin

returned to the court today.

He showed his authority right away

by bringing up Lin'an Munitions Warehouse and the late emperor's edict.

Even His Majesty couldn't do anything with him.

Looks like the battle is inevitable.

As for the tributary cloths…

I know.

We can't provide anymore.

You knew?

If you knew it,

why did you still send Commandant Song to Jiangning?

People want a show,

then you have to act.

They'll watch whatever

you present to them.

And they'll believe

if they enjoy it.

Jiangning

In the 320th year of Wu Dynasty,

Right Chancellor Qin Siyuan finally returned

to the court and resumed his position after four years of silence.

He proposed to stop the annual tribute

Wu's Mansion

and send an army to the north.

Master!

Master!

Bad news!

Bad news!

It's a message from the capital city.

The tributary cloths will not be collected anymore!

What?

Government Report

It's not be collected!

Ban tributary cloth

It's impossible!

It's impossible!

If the tributary cloths won't be collected!

Then what are we gonna do with all the silk?

It'll be a loss

that our Wu Family has never suffered!

Father!

I'm afraid our life

will be difficult from now on!

Young Master Ning!

Young Master Ning!

It's time!

Government Report

Tan'er,

soon you'll see

that I'll let you become

the most successful merchant in Jiangning!

It's us!

We will become the most successful merchants in Jiangning!

Wait here for me.

Su's Cloth Store

Zhu Preserved Egg

We won't sell preserved eggs today.

Sorry!

Please come here and take a look!

If you like the cloths,

you can make an order,

and our deliverymen will go to

our flagship store to get the cloths

and deliver them to your home!

If you don't like the cloths here,

you can go to our flagship store to try on personally.

I'm sure you'll be satisfied!

The ones who have picked the colors

can register over there!

Color No. 5, cloth No. 2, one bolt.

Color No. 3, cloth No. 2, one bolt.

Color No. 3, cloth No. 2, one bolt.

Wu's Mansion

Their preserved egg stands

all changed into cloth stands.

At the moment,

the Su's branches are all over the streets!

What kinda nonsense are you talking about?

Su's Cloth Store

I'm telling the truth!

They removed all the preserved eggs

and changed the stands into

-cloth stands all of a sudden! -Color No. 3, one bolt!

Su's Cloth Store

They are selling cloths right now!

Color No. 6, one bolt!

Color No. 6, cloth No. 5, one bolt.

Feng, there are nine colors in this color card!

-One bolt for each! -I want them all!

-No problem! -I want them all!

I can't believe that they

came up with such an idea!

They even provide some

“order online” service,

and named it “Su Ning Yi Buy”

by combining Su Tan'er and Ning Yi's

names together!

“Su Ning Yi Buy?”

Su's Cloth Store

Here you go!

Here! Here!

It's here!

Young Master!

-Young Master! Bad news! -What are you yelling about?

Shouldn't you knock first?

Get out!

Yes.

Come in!

Now say it.

Something bad happened to our cloth store.

Young Master, please go and take a look!

Why didn't you say it earlier?!

Wu's Cloth Store

Please calm down!

Calm down!

We canceled our order with the Su's

-and cooperated with you! -Calm down!

-You can't break the contract! -Please calm down!

Calm down!

Contract

Although the tributary cloths won't be collected,

you still need to pay off your debts!

Take a look!

Your Wu Family signed the contract yourself!

If you don't pay,

you'll be fined double!

Pay the money! Pay the money! Pay the money!

Pay the money! Pay the money!

Pay the money!

Pay the money! Pay the money!

Please calm down!

Please!

Pay the money! Pay the money!

Calm down! Calm down!

Master Ning hopes that we can provide

“suit your taste” service next.

Madame Hu,

thank you for acknowledging

our service of “suit your taste!”

We assumed that you'd like

a dress like this.

Based on the information

we collected from the membership booklets,

we can analyze our customers' preferences.

You must look very elegant in this dress!

I'm sure you'll be the most beautiful Madame in Jiangning!

The rating cards

are used to collect our customers' reviews,

Zhu Rating Card

which can help us improve our delivery service,

avoid inventory backlog

and overstock,

so, as to save warehouse cost.

Madame Tao,

this is the cloth you asked your maid to order

at branch No. 13 of Su's Cloth Store.

This batch of cloths is very nice!

In the beginning,

we may not be that accurate

when guessing our customers' preferences.

But don't worry.

With the continuous increase

of our Zhu Club members,

we can collect more and more information

about our customers' preferences

and be more accurate in our service.

Our Consultant Yuan has worked

in Xinmen Performance House for years.

Through observing your dresses,

she can be sure

that garnet will become the most popular

color in Jiangning!

But in this case,

our delivery service will be challenged.

That's why we need to constantly collect

our customers' reviews.

Only by finding and solving problems in time

can we make a steady growth.

If you are satisfied with the cloth,

please give us a rating!

Su's Cloth Store Rating Card

What is this?

It's rating card.

Madame, you can draw circles next to

the items of “Goods,

Service, and Delivery Speed.”

Five circles represent the highest rating.

Madame Jiang, Tao and Su

are all Madame Hu's mahjong buddies.

They always compare with each other.

Madame Hu,

are you willing to take the risk that you aren't

dressed as fashionable as

Jiang, Tao and Su just because

of your personal taste?

No way!

They wanna win me?

It's gonna take them another 100 years!

I'll buy this dress!

Madame Hu, good for you!

We will deliver it to your house!

Thank you for your patience!

This is quite a novelty!

I'll take some time to rate your store!

-Thank you, Madame! -Thank you, Madame!

Li, I never thought

that we'd work so well together

with you one day!

Hmph!

Hmph!

Su's Cloth Store

Ning.

“Suit your taste” service

has got great response!

The customers were happy to rate us!

They considered the rating card a novelty!

Ning, I have a small question.

Since so many people buy our cloths,

can the weavers make the cloths on schedule?

Solders are trained for years

to be used in one battle!

Solders are trained for years

to be used in one battle!

At this point,

our cloth store will count

on all of you!

Let's begin!

Young Master!

Young Master!

The silk merchants who made trouble at our store last time

came again!

They are blocking the entrance

and want to see you!

I won't see them!

Get them out of here!

Yes!

Young Master!

I won't!

I won't see anybody!

Young Master,

it's the people from money shop,

saying

they'll tear down our house

if they don't see you!

I'll go talk to them.

Don't tell my father.

How dare you not pay?

How dare you?

You've got a nerve!

Pay us back!

Boss, Young Master Wu is here.

Young Master Wu,

how are you doing?

Young Master Wu,

you finally swallowed your pride to see us!

Boss,

don't worry!

I promise in the name of our Wu Family,

we always pay off the debts.

It's just at the moment…

You are out of money, right?

Please give me more time.

I've pawned our

Wu's Cloth Store to you.

Are you still worried that I'd run away?

That does make sense!

Why don't we set a deadline then?

Three days!

How about paying us back in three days?

Three days are not enough!

Punk,

I have an idea for you.

If you are really out of money,

you can borrow from your friends.

That Su Family is quite wealthy.

They are doing very well with their preserved egg business.

They've made a lot of money!

Why don't you borrow from them?

Boss,

are you really going to push me over the edge?

Push you over the edge?

I'm trying to figure out a way for you!

You won't even do that?

Then I don't have a choice!

Three days!

You have only three days!

If you don't pay us back in three days…

Are you paying or not?

Are you paying or not?

Pay us back!

Ning Yi! Come out!

Su's Cloth Store

You've got to give us an explanation!

Ning Yi! Come out!

-Give us an explanation! -Guys! Guys!

Guys! Please calm down!

What's going on?

Boss Ning,

what you did is so unseemly!

You violated the code of conduct!

How are we supposed to survive in this industry?

-That's right! -How are we supposed to survive?

You are right!

I admit

that it's my bad!

That's why

I prepared a small gift

for all of you!

Hope you'll like it!

Su's Cloth Store Franchise

What's this?

It's the Guidance of Franchise

of our Su's Cloth Store.

If you'd like to join us,

we can make money

and be rich together!

Boss Ning!

Boss Xue!

Your business is booming!

Thank you! Thanks!

What…

What is going on?

I'm glad you are here.

Please come in! Please!

Welcome! Please come in!

Wu's Cloth Store

Let's go take a look!

Come on! Let's go.

Commandant Song.

Please.

Boss Wu, I don't think

it's proper that you went to Yamen today

to invite me to your home.

If others saw, they might think

we are quite close!

Commandant Song, don't say that.

I know that you are very busy.

I and my son

knew that we couldn't have you visit us,

so, we thought of such an idea.

I know I'm not worthy

of being your friend!

Good!

You don't have to be!

And we'd better stop contacting each other,

in case others think it's a collusion between government and businessmen!

Just consider that I've had your tea!

See you!

Commandant Song!

Commandant Song! Please don't go!

- Commandant Song! - Commandant Song!

Commandant Song!

Commandant Song!

Commandant Song!

I bet you've already learned

that the tributary cloths won't be collected.

All the silk that we

purchased in Jiangnan and Jiangbei was at high price.

If we can't be the tributary cloth provider,

our Wu Family will go bankrupt!

Commandant Song, please help us

to find a way out!

Please help us, Commandant Song!

What kind of idea

do you think I have?

You want me

to pull strings for you?

Well…

Commandant Song,

you promised that you'd help us

become a tributary cloth provider.

And now you know something's wrong

and you'll just watch us die?

We even gave you 50% of the profit!

How can you betray us like this?

Enough!

50% of the profit?

When did you see

that I took it?

Commandant Song!

Commandant Song!

Father!

It's obvious that he wants to take the money and run away!

We pay 10,000 taels of silvers

every year to him!

It can't even make us a tributary cloth provider?

You idiot!

You should never talk about this out loud!

You'll break the rule if you bring it up!

Who cares about the rule?

You should let him

give us the money back

in order to solve our pressing problem!

I…

How come I have a son like you?

He's just a profit-driven person who's trying to protect his own ass!

Once His Majesty decides to pay tribute to Jing State again,

Song Xian will continue our partnership.

Except for him,

we don't have any other

connection in the court!

He's our only chance to come back!

Master,

Young Master,

someone is here to see you.

Creditor again?

Don't let him in!

It's Manager Xi.

Younger Master!

Younger Master, you finally…

Just tell me what you are doing here?

Younger Master,

I have to prove to you

that I didn't betray Wu Family!

I personally drew

these 58 portraits.

They are the 58 students

of Academy of Male Virtuousness.

They are the ones who colluded with Ning Yi

and formed a matrilocal husband alliance

to spread rumors

and drive up the silk price in Jiangning!

His name is Li Pin,

who's very close to Ning Yi!

His name is Shen Miao,

who voluntarily went to study at Academy of Male Virtuousness

months after he failed the imperial exams,

and then,

he became friends with Ning Yi…

Cai.

Yes.

Get him out!

Manager Xi, please leave!

Younger Master!

I'm very loyal to you!

You've got to trust me, Younger Master!

Shen Miao is the one

who slandered, deceived

and framed me!

He lured me to Zhu

to meet Ning Yi!

Get out!

Xinmen Performance House

They are all mine!

You are an ungrateful

ingrate!

You are a snobbish, blood-sucking old woman!

You…

Let me tell you!

Commandant Song is upstairs right now!

And I have your indenture!

You've got to marry him today,

no matter what!

My mother signed the indenture!

I have nothing to do with it!

Give it back to me!

I want to redeem myself!

Do you really think you'll have a better life

if you get away from this place?

You have no idea how hard life is outside!

Do you know

how lucky you are that you can

be Commandant Song's concubine?

Stop lecturing me!

You came to Jiangning

and wanted to be a top singer.

But because of your poor singing skills,

you became a black-hearted procuress instead!

Listen carefully!

Don't try to let me accept it!

I won't even agree

to be his wife,

let alone his concubine!

Unless he let me be his grandma!

You…You…You…

Are you out of your mind?

You don't wanna be a good girl, instead, you follow that Nie Yunzhu!

You wanna be outside every day with her

and sell that stupid preserved eggs?

Don't you feel ashamed?

You don't even feel ashamed of prostitution,

why would I feel ashamed about selling preserved eggs?

It's a legitimate business!

There's no way I'll give in today,

unless I'm dead!

Fine!

If you wanna die, go ahead!

But don't drag

the entire Xinmen down with you!

Fine!

I'll kill myself right now!

Jin'er! Jin'er!

Jin'er! Jin'er!

Jin'er!

Jin'er! Are you crazy?

Stop! Don't come over!

Jin'er!

Jin'er! Don't jump! Jin'er!

Madam, you supported me for 15 years.

I won't let you do it for nothing.

You can have

all the money I earned

over the 15 years.

Jin'er!

I only want to give you the money

in exchange for my freedom!

Jin'er!

Jin'er!

Jin'er! Don't jump!

Jin'er!

Jin'er!

Jin'er!

Jin'er!

Help! Help!

Go fish her up!

Jin'er!

Come! Go get help!

Jin'er!

Jin'er!

Jin'er!

Commandant Song!

Madam Yang,

it's my wedding day.

Why are you crying?

Jin'er wouldn't marry you.

She got confused

and jumped into the river!

When did it happen?

Just… Just now!

She jumped from that bridge.

The water is deep.

I'm afraid…

she's already gone!

Commandant Song,

you see,

she even killed herself because of this.

I think we should cancel…

Shut up!

Alive or dead, she's always mine!

Guards!

You guys

go find her!

Even if she's dead,

fish her body up,

and hang her head up in public!

Go!

Yes!

Sub by iQiyi & Ripped by skysoultan ♔ Follow @skysoultan on Instagram ♔

Why isn't she here yet?

She should

be here soon.

Sister Yunzhu!

Come here!

Put this on!

-I'm still wet! -Just put it on!

So good that you are back!

What does that mean?

Of course, I'll come back!

Those evil people

are still alive,

how can I be dead?

I can't leave this world

to those people!

Now,

go inside and change.

So?

I'm a good swimmer, aren't I?

-I'm so wet! -Slow down!

Put this on!

Song Xian's people are so stupid.

They only searched downstream,

but it never occurred to them that Miss Yuan can swim.

She even swam to Miss Nie's home!

How would they know

Yuan Jin'er can swim?

Come to think of it,

all people of Xinmen

know that

Miss Yuan can swim

and that she often swims here,

but no one gave her away.

They are good friends indeed.

It's a fact that everybody knows,

yet Madam Yang doesn't know.

She's not that smart after all.

No wonder Miss Yuan wants to leave her.

You really think

Madam Yang doesn't know Yuan Jin'er can swim?

It's just her strategy to let Jin'er go.

Commandant Song,

you see,

she even killed herself because of this.

I think

we should cancel…

It's also Madam Yang's way

of showing her love for Jin'er.

Oh.

Don't say “Oh.”

I know you don't understand.

It's okay.

Let's wait for a while.

After a while, I think…you still won't understand.

Drink your tea.

Miss Yuan,

I have an idea to get you

out of this Song Xian trouble.

Swim your way out of trouble

Xinmen Performance House

Go ahead and knock!

Madam Yang, you knock first.

Commandant Song has been inside for half a day.

He didn't even ask us to light the candles.

I'm afraid he's really angry.

If I open the door and let him…

…invite him out,

he'd probably burn

my entire Xinmen down!

No! No! No!

Think about it!

He likes

your girls here so much.

I'm sure he won't get mad at you.

It's better that you knock first.

If he doesn't blame you,

then he won't blame us

for not finding Yuan Jin'er.

-Madam, you knock first! -You knock first!

-You knock first! -Madam Yang.

Madam Yang.

Is Commandant Song inside?

Yes! Yes!

He's right inside!

Young Master Wu, please!

I need to talk to Commandant Song in private.

Please leave us.

Understood! Understood!

Come on! Let's go!

Commandant Song.

Qihao is here to see you.

Commandant Song?

Commandant Song?

I'm coming in.

I, Wu Qihao,

is here to greet you, Commandant Song!

Commandant Song.

His Majesty said

that tributary cloths were just temporarily not be collected.

Maybe

His Majesty will take

the edict back soon.

Besides,

both Jing State and Liang State

need cloths.

Why don't you

just take all the cloths

of our Wu's?

The kickback you asked for

will still be paid.

Commandant Song.

Commandant,

it's too dark.

Let me

light the candles for you.

A swordsman of justice Everyone has right to kill him

As a corrupted official…

Commandant Song was murdered tonight!

A curfew will be imposed!

We are ordered

to search all streets!

Search carefully!

Come on!

Stop! Stop!

It's a curfew! Don't you know?

Leave!

What is it? Smells so bad!

Let's go!

So smelly!

Heroine!

Heroine!

It's me!

Zhu Preserved Egg

You are so smart,

hiding in the cart!

I'm even smarter of course.

I guessed right!

Let me get you out of the town.

No need.

Search carefully!

Go home! It's a curfew!

I'll take the cart back!

Go check over there!

You, go over there!

The suburb of Jiangning

Wake up!

Wake up!

Go home! Go home!

You are back!

Get off!

Heroine!

I prepared a jaunting for you.

Take the jaunting

and get out of here!

Thanks!

Hold on! Hold on!

Li Pin!

It's not for you!

Heroine.

Take the water and

preserved eggs,

in case you get thirsty or hungry on the way.

Try it.

I won't take the eggs.

Then at least take the water.

In the martial world,

we always return the favor.

About the thing you mentioned,

I'll do it.

You mean you will accept me as your disciple

and teach me martial arts?

Master, please accept

my gratitude!

Li Pin!

Why did you open the bottle?

I wanted to drink water.

Master, sorry that you had to see this.

Ning,

why don't you change your clothes?

You don't understand.

Every time when I wetted my clothes

and was about to change,

my wife would show up.

Why is that?

How would I know?

Who knows which wicked scriptwriter wrote this?

He obviously wanted to stop me from cheating on my wife!

Ning,

don't tell me you want other women!

Li Pin!

What kinda dirty stuff

are you thinking about?!

My Lady!

Hey, Ning!

My Lady!

My Lady!

It's already late.

Why are you out here waiting for me alone?

Master Ning,

haven't you seen I'm here?

Why are your clothes wet?

You may catch a cold.

Chan,

Go get some cold-prevention medicine for Young Master.

I'm fine.

When I invent waterproof cloth,

I'll never catch a cold again.

What's waterproof cloth?

Let's go inside and I'll tell you.

Let's go home.

Su's Mansion

Sister!

You've changed?

Let me help you!

Sister,

then I'll sell preserved eggs

with you and Young Master Ning in the future.

Sure.

Pay the franchise fee first.

I don't have money.

You have to support me!

Look at you!

Keep working.

Actually, Madam Yang

is a nice person.

Had it been anywhere else,

I wouldn't have

been able to redeem myself either.

Back then,

she came to Jiangning

alone from countryside,

hoping to become the best singer.

Yet somehow she ended up

being a Madam.

She suffered a lot.

Jin'er,

she just hoped that you could find

someone whom you can rely on.

I know.

But relying on man

is not the best solution.

It's much more powerful

being a female manager

like you!

You think it's powerful?

I work every day.

My hands are rough

and I become ugly.

Nonsense!

You are the prettiest!

Besides,

what's the big deal?

You've made a lot of money!

I can't argue with you!

Wu's Mansion

Qihao,

if we still can't make any money,

we'll have to close sooner or later.

If worse comes to worst,

just…

just mortgage a few stores first,

and borrow some money from the underground money shop in Jiangning.

Don't worry.

We'll just borrow for a few days.

When we collect enough money,

we'll redeem the stores back.

Father,

I've already

pawned the stores.

We can't borrow money

from the money shop anymore!

I just

thought of it ahead of you!

Wu Qihao!

Father!

Father! Father!

You…

-Father! -Wu Qihao!

Father, calm down!

-Please calm down! -Stop there!

Calm down! Calm down!

Stop!

Please calm down!

- Father! Father! Father! -You unfilial son!

- Father! Father! -I'll beat you to death today!

Father! Father! Father!

-Don't! Father! -Stop!

Father! Father! Father!

Don't hit me! Don't hit me!

Stop!

Father! Please calm down!

Wu.

How have you been doing?

Su, cut the crap.

I think we both know why

you came here today.

Our Wus' situation is pretty obvious.

I'll just be honest with you.

I don't think you can

get your money back.

But…

Wu,

my son and I have given

all of our money you!

Now that Commandant Song is dead,

the tributary cloth business must be screwed up!

You can't just leave us alone!

We invested in Wu's

because we trusted you!

And now you wanna take our money and run away?

Don't talk to my father like that!

Shut your mouth!

Yes.

Su,

let me tell you the truth.

My stupid son mortgaged

our stores behind my back.

We

don't have any money now.

Then, what are we supposed to do?

We don't have any money,

but I know someone

who does.
