Chef Fang

Episode 30

Mr. Shen.

I...

Mr. Shen, I got something.

Guess who spread the rumor?

How could I know?

It’s Mrs. Zhao, Fang Mansion’s vegetable supplier.

Fang Mansion?

Mrs. Zhao heard it from Jing of Fang Mansion.

Are you sure?

Absolutely. I threatened Mrs. Zhao.

She told me everything

and asked her nephew to testify.

Her nephew serves the Fangs.

She said she heard it from Jing more than once.

Miss Fang was there when she said that.

How dare she!

Fang Mansion

My lady!

What are you yelling about?

Guess who is here?

Who?

Mr. Shen.

What is he doing here?

He said he came to see you.

My lady, do you want to see him?

Of course I do.

He seldom comes to see me.

Jing, help me dress up.

OK.

Mr. Shen.

Mr. Shen, what brings you here?

Jing, make tea for Mr. Shen.

- No, thanks. - Yes.

I just want to make a few remarks.

It won’t take long.

I’m all ears.

Miss Fang, have you heard of some rumors?

I seldom go out,

so I don’t know.

Then I’ll be frank.

I heard some rumors recently,

about my wife.

And the spreader is one of your maids.

I know what you’re going to say.

That it has nothing to do with you.

I don’t want to know what slanders you made

after you and her left the market.

But Jing is your maid.

You’re responsible for her bad manners.

I’ve been known as a scoundrel.

And I don’t care what they say about me.

But my wife loves me with all her heart.

You allow your servants to do that to her.

How evil you are!

Your family and mine have no relations.

From now on,

my wife and I don’t want anything to do with you

in case of unnecessary rumors.

Good day.

Why did you do that?

Shen Yong isn’t someone to be trifled with.

We all try our best to avoid him.

What did you do? You provoked him

and got yourself so upset.

I just don’t understand.

He was a scoundrel.

What makes him a better man after he met Yishao?

He can be so obedient to a kitchen maid.

Why is he so cold to me?

Am I

inferior to a girl from nowhere?

There’s nothing to be angry with.

You know he’s a scoundrel.

That’s what he could get, a kitchen maid.

Besides,

you didn’t want to marry him.

I don’t care. Miao, you have to help me.

What do you want?

Are you insane?

Or are you obsessed?

We won’t be able to keep it forever.

If people find out you did it,

who would marry you?

That’s my business to worry.

Just tell me if you’re going to help me.

No, no.

If father knows, he would skin me.

We can’t let father know about this.

Miao, for once, help me.

I can’t put up with the insult.

Your name is at risk.

How can you be so indifferent to it?

Not a good idea.

It’s settled.

Help me or not, it’s your call.

Yishao, what’s this?

It’s pretty. Decoration?

No. It’s used to make moon cakes.

For the pattern.

It’s just to make moon cakes.

Is it necessary?

Of course it is.

Mid-autumn is an important festival.

I remember as a little girl,

we had so many moulds like this one.

My father hand-made them.

But I have none of them now.

Anyway,

I have father, mother and you.

It’s a true family reunion

for Mid-autumn.

Let’s make more moon cakes

so father can gift his friends.

In fact, father wanted to gift moon cakes,

but you know mother’s inability to cook.

By the way, Yao used to say

she wants to learn making moon cakes.

It was delayed by Xu Wenmao’s case.

I’m afraid I have no time to teach her.

Let’s give her some instead.

Yishao,

I want to tell you something.

Come!

My lady.

Kneel!

My lady, I’m sorry.

Yao, what is this all about?

I failed to discipline my maid

and caused damage to your reputation.

She’s here

at your disposal.

What are you talking about, Yao?

Everything is all right with me.

What do you mean damage to my reputation?

Speak for yourself.

My lady, that day, I only said

Mrs. Shen and Mr. Liu were chatting and laughing.

I never said they had an affair.

Stop! I don’t know you have such a big mouth.

If Mr. Shen didn’t come to question me,

I’d still be in darkness.

Yishao, she’s all yours.

Whether you want to imprison or sell her,

it’s up to you.

Don't, My lady, please.

Mrs. Shen, forgive me, please.

Forgive me. I beg you.

Please forgive me.

Yong.

Miss Fang, don’t leave the trouble to my wife.

She’s your servant.

You’d better decide how to punish her.

All right. I’ll tell my father

to sell this girl.

Or she would dent my family’s integrity.

Come!

My lady, please.

My lady, I’m sorry.

My lady, pardon me.

Please don’t sell me.

My lady, I swear I won’t do it again.

You did such a despicable thing.

It’s intolerable.

You’d make

the outsiders wonder if we Fangs are all evil.

Since you’re hardhearted, don’t blame me then.

I see. No wonder two days ago I saw

Mr. Liu was weird on the market day.

Yong, why didn’t you

tell me about this?

Why would I

bother you with something not real?

Mr. Shen.

I...

Oh, allow me.

My lady, Mr. Shen, we heard Jing mumbling

just now in the yard about...

Since you’re hardhearted, don’t blame me then.

Yeah, we all heard that.

She looked scary.

Mr. Shen, will she do something bad?

Little Stammer, go.

See if you can catch up with her.

Yong, will she do anything?

Hard to say. She’s a cornered beast now.

At 9 tonight in the backyard of Fang Mansion.

Mr. Shen.

What took you so long? Did you get her?

That girl is cunning. She made detours.

I saw that she went to see a man.

They were talking about 9 tonight

in Fang Mansion’s backyard.

That man gave her a fortune.

It can’t be good.

Go watch over them in Fang Mansion after dinner.

Fang Mansion

This is Fang Mansion’s backyard.

Yong, where is Little Stammer?

Little Stammer.

Little Stammer.

Mr. Shen, there you are.

Unbelievable!

You fell asleep on a tree.

We thought you were watching.

What have you got? Anything suspicious?

Jing’s been

in her room since she came back.

Let’s go.

What are you doing?

My lady, I’m sorry.

Please forgive me.

I’ve been kind to you since we were little.

How could you do such a despicable thing?

I will not tolerate it.

My lady, I’ve learned the lesson.

Please forgive me. Don’t drive me away.

I was sold to your family as a little girl.

I have nowhere to go.

I agreed not to sell you

because we grew up together.

But you can’t stay in Fang Mansion any longer.

If that’s your decision,

I’ll beg no more for your forgiveness.

I’ll leave tomorrow morning.

Farewell, my lady.

Good luck to you.

Let’s go.

OK.

Yong, how is it going?

I saw that maid

brought tea to Miss Fang

to beg for forgiveness.

Did Miss Fang forgive her?

What happened later?

Oh, I have a bad feeling about it.

I have to go back.

That,

Mr. Shen, is the man I saw in the afternoon.

Yong, what are they going to do?

Got it?

Don’t go now. Follow me.

Hurry.

Crap!

The tea Fang Yao drank is probably drugged.

Drugged? Let’s go in then,

in case anything bad happens.

I don’t think it’s appropriate.

If three men burst into her room,

it could be a scandal.

Gracious! Now isn’t the time to worry about that.

Jie has a point.

They probably plan to go in

until the drug takes effect.

Here is the plan. Jie,

you and Little Stammer stay here.

Yishao and I will knock at the front door.

OK.

Fang Mansion

Who is it?

Miss Fang is in danger.

My lady? Are you kidding?

You’re all right.

Stop pretending. Where is Mr. Fang?

Master is asleep.

Go away.

Mr. Shen, you can’t just burst in.

Mr....

Look.

Hush!

I saw him.

Mr. Shen, you can’t go in.

What is this about?

You can’t do that.

What are you doing here? Shouldn’t you...

Someone is plotting against Miss Fang.

I’m afraid you’re wrong.

Your mansion may be better than ours.

But we have guards, too.

If someone sneaks in, how could no one know?

I told you a maid took a stranger in.

It’s about Miss Fang’s integrity.

As her brother, how could you be so careless?

Mrs. Shen, you do know it’s about her integrity.

So please do not make up such a story.

Where is Mr. Shen Yong?

Why hasn’t he

come back?

What should we...

It’s going to be bad if they don’t come back soon.

Yishao, leave it.

It’s their family affair.

They don’t care.

So why should we?

Let’s go.

Good night.

You...

Jie, is Yao all right?

Jie, why are you blushing?

Jie, what happened?

You look strange.

Yong, I think Jie has taken care of it.

Let’s go back.

We can’t stay here.

Let’s go.

Yishao.

My lady.

Get out!

Both of you!

Out!

Jie. Jie!

Jie.

What happened?

What did you see?

You’ve been distracted all the time.

Oh please. Stop badgering me.

All right. I’ll stop.

Tell us. What did you see?

Nothing. I was on the wall.

You’re useless! You saw nothing.

Yong, stop asking.

Jie must have his reason not to tell us.

All right. I won’t ask again.

The Fangs are a handful.

I don’t want anything to do with them.

What? What did you say about the Fangs?

I mean them, not you.

Why did I say that?

I don’t care.

I hate you.

Fang Mansion

Well, that’s great!

Now we’re famous in Dongxiang.

No, the Fang Mansion is notorious.

Mr. Fang, in fact, Her Ladyship...

Enough. Put on a deceiving show?

I’ll skin you.

Get out of here. Out!

I’ve spoiled you.

I shouldn’t have.

Yao, what do you want me to say?

You can be an unruly and wayward girl.

Even it’s the stars, if you like it,

I’ll get it for you.

But this? You can’t...

What should we do about it?

Father, don’t be angry.

It’s not a big deal.

You brat!

Bastard!

It’s no big deal?

We’re talking about our integrity

and your sister’s.

Does it mean nothing to you?

What have years of education taught you?

On the one hand, you have no talent in studying.

On the other, you can’t protect the family.

And you helped with this thing. You...

It’s my fault.

I used to wake up at the slightest noise.

Why was I so sunk in sleep...

You drugged me?

You...you...

Father, please calm down.

It won’t happen again.

Next time, feed me arsenic,

and you could get rid of me.

No, I don’t dare. Please don’t be angry.

It won’t happen again.

Stupid! Stupid!

I can no longer live in Dongxiang.

Oh, I’m so embarrassed.

Mr. Fang, you have a visitor.

I’m not available,

I’m too ashamed to receive anyone.

Mr. Fang, it’s Constable Shen.

Constable Shen?

What should we do?

What should we say to him?

I’ll put an end to my own scandal.

Don’t worry about it.

At worst, I could shave my hair and be a nun.

Or I could hang myself.

- I’m not a filial daughter. - Yao.

But I won’t distain your name, father.

Yao! Yao!

Alas!

I give it quite a thought. Forgive me.

I don’t see why.

It’s already a great favor to my family

for not bringing anyone else with you.

What’s your decision? I’m all yours.

Do enlighten me.

You misunderstand it, Miss Fang.

I’m not here

for duty or making an arrest.

I’m here to apologize.

Apologize?

All beings have feelings.

Laws and regulations shape our feelings.

You didn’t do anything against the law.

Girls are sensible.

As to that, it seems you’re troubled.

Troubled? With what?

Mr. Shen and Mrs. Shen’s marriage.

It seems you have regrets.

What regrets could I have?

One is a scoundrel and another a kitchen maid...

But the scoundrel

has become a hero.

And the kitchen maid

has become a well-respected lady.

It’s understandable that you regret it.

But you were the one who refused

to marry him.

Why would I? He was...

You had your reason

to turn him down.

But fate played a joke.

I just want to ask you one question.

If Mrs. Shen weren’t happy

and Shen Yong were still a scoundrel,

would you still regret it?

If you married him back then

and were as happy as they’re now,

would you still regret it?

I don’t think you have a clear idea.

But there’s one thing I believe.

If Mrs. Shen weren’t kind and smart,

Shen Yong wouldn’t have started a new life.

Perhaps he would get wasted in brothels.

For a married couple

to be happy, instead of strangers,

it requires more than luck,

but also courage and wisdom.

Are you saying that I’m incapable of

what Yishao did?

No, please don’t take it to heart.

There are things which can’t be compared.

And there are words that need not to be said.

Mrs. Shen suffered a great deal in childhood.

However, you’re a lady who has everything.

Life is simple like a fish in the sea

and a man with a pair of shoes.

Instead of pestering others,

why don’t we reflect on ourselves?

You’re right.

But what’s done is done.

There’s no return.

It’s up to you.

To be happy or not,

it’s a simple choice.

Besides, there is another thing.

About last night, it’s my fault.

Your integrity can’t be damaged.

I would like to take all the responsibilities.

If you don’t agree,

I swear that I’ll guard it with my life.

If I leak it out, I’ll be condemned.

You’re a reasonable lady.

That’s all I have to say.

Let me know your decision.

Good day.

Father, mother.

Son, come here.

Answer me. Have you fixed on a date?

What date?

So many things happened recently.

I forgot about it.

Silly boy,

how could you forget about that?

What are you talking about?

Here it is. Yong told me a few days ago

that the last wedding was rash.

So he wants to give you

a grand wedding ceremony.

Look, in our last wedding ceremony,

we didn’t even drink wedlock wine.

Nor did I lift your veil.

I didn’t even worship your father.

So...

My darling, what do you think?

Whatever Yong says.

Good then. Fix on the date,

so I can get prepared.

I have a good idea.

How about 5 days later on Mid-autumn Day?

It’s a time for love and family reunion.

Quite a blessed date.

Great idea! But it’s close.

I don’t have time to send out invitations.

Mother, it’s OK. You don’t have to invite guests.

All we need to prepare is a banquet.

Just you and a few maids are enough.

We just decorate the bridal chamber.

All right. Just a simple wedding.

We’ll invite the closest friends for the ceremony.

Go to bed early that night.

I can’t wait to have grandsons.

Mother!

Beloved Father-in-law Fang Zengbo
Beloved Mother-in-law Yunqing

Mr. and Mrs. Fang,

Beloved Father-in-law Fang Zengbo
Beloved Mother-in-law Yunqing

Yong and Yishao are getting married tomorrow.

Yong was wayward. He’s lucky to have met Yishao.

Now he’s improved.

Please don’t worry.

When Yishao marries Yong,

my wife and I will love her like our daughter

and protect her from all hardship.

Please give your blessing to them.

May they have a peaceful and happy life.

Yong, kowtow to your parents-in-law.

Beloved Father-in-law Fang Zengbo
Beloved Mother-in-law Yunqing

Father, mother,

I’m your son-in-law, Shen Yong.

Please forgive me for not visiting you before.

Please accept my apology.

Father and mother,

Beloved Father-in-law Fang Zengbo

I, Shen Yong, swear to you

that Yishao will be the only wife I have.

I’ll love Yishao for the rest of my life,

till death do us part.

If there’s an afterlife, I’ll love her like now.

Beloved Mother-in-law Yunqing

Darling, Yong is maturer.

Yishao, Mr. Liu heard that we’re about to marry

and sent over a pair of couplets.

Let me read it to you.

A jubilee day for a perfect match

How merry they unite as a couple

Well, that’s clever.

Yishao, what are you doing?

Preparing for the banquet.

The banquet?

Well.

Which bride makes her own wedding banquet?

Which? You’re looking at her.

I’m going to make the best banquet ever.

How good exactly?

Loving couple, golden pair of balls,

phoenix in couple, heart for heart,

fair lady’s dance, silver swallow messenger,

together forever, magpie messenger,

good years, harmony forever,

red for blessing, love birds,

dragon and phoenix, good fortune,

blessing from dragon, soup of happiness,

shining ribbons, blooming flowers,

perfect match, and long-lasting love.

Yishao,

that’s a love note.

No! Don’t be a slick.

They’re all dishes.

Dishes?

I don’t think any of them

is related to food.

I’ve never heard of them.

What I said is the menu for wedding banquet.

Their real names are

stewed abalone slices, braised dragon balls,

onion-flavored scallops, sweet and sour ribs,

stewed seafood, sauced vegetables,

flower-fruit yogurt, lotus seed and bean paste,

stewed fish lips, fried sticky rice,

steamed grouper, black-bone chicken soup,

sauced lamb ribs, garlic-flavored lobsters,

sea food stew, daisy and jujube cakes,

and royal fried rice.

Yishao, how do you know so many dishes?

These aren’t commonly served

on the dining table, are they?

My father taught me.

What kind of cook is he?

How did he know these?

I’m so silly today.

I shouldn’t have upset you

on the great day when we’re supposed to be happy.

Do you want to hit me?

Alright.

Not down there.

That’s important for tomorrow.

You have no shame.

Mercy.

Happiness

Stop!

It’s not your call.

Yong, what are you doing here?

You’re supposed to split up before the wedding.

Come on. Go!

Mother, we’re already married.

That’s a no.

The Art of Love

Here. Take it.

Go over it while you still have time to.

Don’t be caught unprepared

in the boudoir.

Who gives her son this kind of book?

What? Now you’re shy.

I don’t need it.

Take it.

Don’t be a disappointment at wedding night.

Or Yishao would lose interest in you.
