The Sword and the Brocade

Episode 26

They had such

a big fight.

Why doesn't His Lordship

divorce her?

Do you think the maid

of the Luo family was lying?

I don't think so.

Many people of the Luo family
witnessed that.

It's said

that Her Ladyship made
His Lordship furious.

Otherwise, he wouldn't
have come back alone.

I'm just worried that His Lordship will

forgive her again
if it drags on any longer.

Madam, don't worry.

Now that Mingjing has left,

no one will link the death of

late Her Ladyship to us.

Luo Shiyi

will never be able to come back.

Sooner or later,
His Lordship will divorce her.

A long delay may cause trouble.

I still can't feel at ease.

Looks like

I have to give His Lordship a nudge.

Usually,

I would ask
the master of Xianling Pavilion

to make me a unique embroidery

to go with this bracelet.

That would be the best.

Exactly.

What a pity.

I'm afraid we can't go

to Xianling Pavilion any longer.

Why can't we?

Anything happened?

The news has been widely spread.

You still haven't heard?

Madam Xu took in

many refugees and trained them

to be embroidery girls.

But in reality,

she bullied those refugees

under the name of Marquis Yongping.

The refugees created total chaos
because of this.

Really?

It'll be hard

for Xianling Pavilion

to get back to business.

Furthermore,

the good name of Marquis Yongping

will be destroyed completely.

Mansion of Xu

Marquis Yongping is also involved?

I know what kind of person
the Marquis is.

And his wife

doesn't seem to be

a reckless woman.

What happened exactly?

The rumor has

been spread to everywhere.

This Luo Shiyi

has made our Xu family

a target of public censure.

Is it really Madam Xu
who caused the trouble?

Sister,

listen to me.

You have to fix this problem quickly.

If people with bad intention

distort the truth

and report this to His Majesty,

your family will be in big trouble.

Of course I know that.

But...

You mean

our Xu family wronged her?

Marquis,

how could you say that?

You are suspicious of Shiyi?

You don't trust her?

I asked you to be here
for one thing only.

Divorce Agreement

Take this

Divorce Agreement back.

From now on,

Xu family will have nothing to do

with Luo family.

Marquis, are you really
going to divorce Shiyi?

Xu Lingyi.

Don't think you can
push around Luo family.

How dare you?

That's wonderful.

Come on. Let's go to Banyuepan.

Listen carefully.

Don't you come here again.

Divorce Agreement

Madam.

His Lordship divorced Luo Shiyi.

Finally.

This day finally comes.

Zhun.

-Zhun, what are you doing?
-I want my mother.

I want my mother.

You are such

a willful kid.

That...

That bad woman will come back no more.

And she's no longer your mother.

Got it?

She won't...

She won't leave me alone.

She will come back.

You are a bad woman.

You...

Zhun,

I know you don't like me.

But I promise

I will do my best to take care

of you in the future.

Okay?

Stop.

Here.

Are you hurt?

Thank you for your care, My Lord.

I'm fine.

Zhun,

don't be rude,

or I'll ground you for three days.

Father, I miss my mother.

Please go and get my mother back.

Okay?

Don't mention that again.

She won't come back anymore.

Zhaoying.

Get a few servants later

to clear out

the room.

My Lord.

Go.

Yes, My Lord.

Mother.

I want my mother.

-I want my mother.
-Zhun.

Zhun.

-I want my mother.
-Zhun.

Zhun.

How did you get here

all of a sudden?

Take Zhun back.

-Yes.
-I want my mother.

Zhun, let's go.

-Mother.
-Zhun.

Zhun, let's go.

I want my mother.

Let me walk you back.

Thank you, My Lord.

Great Madam,

Xu family is so big.

There are many things to take care of.

You need someone to
manage the household affairs.

The wife of the Marquis

shouldn't be vacant for long.

You watched

Lianfang grow up.

As the legitimate daughter
of the Qiao family,

she's a perfect match for the Marquis.

Don't you think the legal wife position

should be...

I understand what you are saying.

It is a little unfair

for Lianfang to be a concubine.

But legitimizing a concubine

is against the rules.

People will criticize us

if they find out.

Great Madam.

I...

But

we can find a way around it.

As soon

as Lianfang is pregnant,

the two families can go to the Palace

and ask His Majesty
to grant her this favor.

That'll make things different.

But we have to be patient about this.

That's right.

You are so right.

Absolutely.

We need to be

patient about this.

Great Madam,

after talking to you

about this thing,

I feel so

relieved now.

Good. Good.

Have some tea.

Great Madam really said so?

Elegant and Fine Lady
It's all truth.

When did I ever lie to you?

That's great.

As long as I'm pregnant,

my dream will come true.

But,

we need to be patient about this

and plan it for the long term.

Mother,

no worries.

I understand.

I can wait.

Lately, His Lordship

doesn't treat me as coldly as before

anymore.

That day,

he even walked me back

worrying if I got hurt.

I just knew it.

There's no way that the Marquis

won't be interested in my daughter.

Turns out that Luo Shiyi

was indeed my biggest stumbling block.

Now that she's gone,

His Lordship treats me so differently.

My happy days have finally arrived.

Elegant and Fine Lady
Then you should seize the opportunity

and get pregnant as soon as possible.

Mother, don't worry.

Since His Lordship cares about me now,

getting pregnant

will only be a matter of time.

Before long,

I will become Marquis Yongping's wife.

But

I found

that the Luo family has been

looking for

Mingjing's whereabouts recently.

It must be because Luo Shiyi
doesn't want to give up.

She wants to find Mingjing
to prove her innocence.

Mother,

have you made the arrangement?

Mingjing has

left the capital.

There shouldn't be any problem.

Mother, I'm still worried.

I think

you should send someone
to confirm again.

Better yet,

don't let him

come back ever.

Alright.

I'll send someone to confirm again.

I'll also

ask a few people to
keep an eye on the Luo family.

If there's anything wrong,

we can handle it in time.

Just rest assured

and get ready to become

the Marquis's wife.

I thought

His Lordship would get Her Ladyship back.

I didn't expect
that he'd actually divorce her.

Her Ladyship...

Wait,

she shouldn't be called
Her Ladyship anymore.

After all,

Shiyi

is just an illegitimate daughter.

If she were a legitimate daughter
of Luo family,

His Lordship wouldn't
divorce her this easily.

So,

what do you think

will happen next?

What next?

Do you think Concubine Qiao
will be legitimized?

I'm afraid that'll be against the rules.

How come?

Think about it.

She even took Shiyi down.

There's nothing

that she isn't capable of doing.

You mean

Her Ladyship left because of her?

Are you stupid or what?

Didn't you see that?

Concubine Qiao has always tried

to set Shiyi up.

Look at her.

In terms of Shiyi's

fake pregnancy,

she slandered her.

She cried so hard

and threatened with her life.

In the end, she forced Great Madam

to get rid of Shiyi.

But, come to think of it,

Shiyi didn't blame

Concubine Qiao for no reason.

Qiao family and Xu family

are very close to each other.

Plus, Great Madam

favors Concubine Qiao a lot.

Normally,

when late Her Ladyship passed away,

Concubine Qiao should've

replaced her.

Do you think in the future she will...

I...

If you talk nonsense again,

I'll kick you out.

-How dare you slap me?
-Don't. Don't.

Don't.

We are of equal status.

And I married into
the Xu family earlier than you.

You should call me sister.

How dare you kick me out?

You don't believe me?

Then let's wait and see.

Why are you hiding?

Actually, I should thank you

for making my life better.

What did she mean?

Why would she thank you?

I don't know.

It won't take long

before I become your legal wife.

I'll read poem

and dine with you.

I'll give birth to your children

and spend the rest
of my life with you.

I'll be the only one in your eyes,

and I'll be the only one

you love.

My Lord,

I think you should get Her Ladyship back.

Even though Her Ladyship made a mistake,

you've never smiled again

ever since she left.

Residence of Luo

Madam,

your mother sent a letter to you.

Madam,

what's wrong?

Mingjing is missing.

Last night,

the people my mother sent

saw a carriage of the Luo family

leave the capital secretly.

Unfortunately, they lost sight
of the carriage on the way.

That should be

the carriage for picking up Mingjing.

Then what should we do, Madam?

Go and tell my mother

that what matters the most

right now is to find Mingjing

as soon as possible.

Yes.

Mother,

Shiyi is still young.

If you insist on kicking her out,

the rest of her life

will be ruined.

All you can think about is your sister.

Have you ever thought about Zhun?

The Divorce Agreement

ended years of in-law relationship

between our family and the Xu family.

On whom can Zhun

rely now in the Xu family?

Yes.

I understand your concern, Mother.

Out of sight and out of mind.

If you don't want to see her,

you can send her

to the suburb villa.

Maybe things can still turn around.

Fine.

Just send her there.

As long as

I don't have to see her again.

First, a carriage
left the capital secretly.

And now, Luo Shiyi

went to the suburb villa.

No matter what,

this thing feels quite suspicious.

It's highly possible that Mingjing

is hiding in the suburb villa.

Then why wouldn't Luo Shiyi

let him testify for her,

but hide him instead?

Mingjing wouldn't tell the truth

easily.

Otherwise,

he'd get himself involved, too.

Xiuyuan,

we'll go to the villa

at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow.

If Mingjing

is really hiding there...

My mother is too soft-hearted.

She let him live.

The villa is located in a remote place.

It won't be too hard

to kill him.

It's really Mingjing.

Kill him.

Do it.

Come on.

Qiao Lianfang.

What are you doing?

Shiyi,

I wasn't going to kill you.

But since you are looking for death,

I'll satisfy you.

You tried so hard

to get here to kill Mingjing,

which means it is you
who murdered Yuanniang.

You are right.

I asked Mingjing

to tamper with Yuanniang's medication.

I am the one who murdered Yuanniang.

So what, if you know?

How can you talk when you are dead?

Your Ladyship.

My... My Lord.

How...

How come you are here?

If you want to kill Mingjing,

I'm afraid you got the wrong person.

Madam,

I'm sorry.

Linbo?

I cared about you

and trusted you so much.

Even when you made mistakes,

I'd still give you a chance.

I can't believe

that all your kindness

was just an act.

Yuanniang

was actually killed by you.

And you didn't stop there.

You even wanted to
kill Mingjing to cover your sin

so that you could frame Shiyi.

You lured me into your trap.

When did you start

to set the trap for me?

Ever since the accident happened
in Xianling Pavilion

and Mingjing went missing,

I've sensed

that you'd raised your guard.

But I didn't have any evidence,

so I had to trick you

into making a confession.

That's why I pretended to confess

and put myself
in the worst possible situation,

so that you will

let your guard down

and think that your plan worked.

My Lord,

back then, all the evidence

was against her.

Why were you still willing to trust her?

Because I knew
what kind of person Shiyi is.

There must be something wrong.

So I visited Luo family

and talked to Shiyi

right after I got the news.

My Lord, you are really
willing to trust me?

I've led the army for years.

I think I'm quite good at
discern people's nature.

I can tell who's wrong and who's right.

You are my wife.

I know what kind of person you are.

Even if everybody doubts you,

I'll still trust you.

Thank you, My Lord.

My Lord,

Mingjing is missing.

The only way of making

Qiao Lianfang admit her guilt

is to disrupt her plan

and have her confess herself.

But,

I need your help to make that happen.

If I'm right,

I think Qiao Lianfang has also

bribed someone
in Luo family into helping her.

My Lord, would you like to
put on a show with me?

We had a fight in the Residence of Luo

to let you believe

that His Lordship and I were over.

When the time came, he'd issue me

a Divorce Agreement.

And we didn't expect

that the time would come so quickly.

Madam Qiao maliciously
spread the rumor

and tried to worsen the situation.

It actually offered me

Divorce Agreement
a chance to issue the Divorce Agreement.

So

the Divorce Agreement was fake?

Divorce Agreement

I'll let them spread the news

that Mingjing has been found
by the Luo family.

And next,

just ask Shiyi to go to the villa.

Alright.

I'll figure out a way.

I first sent a carriage
to leave the capital,

and then I left for the villa myself,

in order to have you believe

that I was hiding Mingjing

in the suburb villa.

The moment you saw Mingjing,

you ordered to kill him,

making the truth revealed.

In order to deal with me,

you planned everything so carefully.

My Lord,

I also married you.

But for her,

you deliberately deceived me.

That is so unfair.

You first murdered Yuanniang,

then repeatedly framed Shiyi

and lied to me and Mother.

Does that sound fair to you?

I...

You are actually blaming Lingyi?

Kid,

it's all your fault.

Great Madam,

I know it's my fault.

I know it.

But she...

Hasn't she done anything wrong?

Great Madam,

don't forget

that it's Luo Shiyi
who bullied the refugees

and ruined the good name of Xu family.

You personally saw that,

Great Madam.

At this point,

you are still trying to shift the blame.

Linbo,

bring her in.

Who asked you to turn
the embroidery girls

against Shiyi and defame the Xu family?

It's...

It's Madam Qiao.

She gave me 100 tael of silver

and asked me to abet the refugees

and stir up trouble.

Besides,

it's also Madam Qiao
who arranged those people

to buy the embroidery at a high price,

so as to

destroy the reputation

of Xu family

and let Madam Xu take the blame.

In that case, Madam Xu would never

be able to come back.

Turns out...

Turns out you were

behind the whole thing.

For your own benefit,

you'd rather ruin our Xu family.

But you are also one of us.

Bring her in.

Confess.

When I was in charge of
the Xishan Villa,

Concubine Qiao gave me money

and asked me

to lure away

Her Ladyship's guards

in order to find a chance
to kidnap her.

And,

the dog that made Zhun sick.

It would get everybody
who has a close contact with it sick.

It's also...

It's also Concubine Qiao

who asked me to bring it here.

So...

So you are responsible for
all those things.

You are simply out of control.

That's right.

It's all me.

I did all those things.

My Lord.

Great Madam.

How shall we punish Concubine Qiao?

Please advise.

Lingyi,

it's up to you.

Qiao Lianfang poisoned Yuanniang

and caused her miscarriage and death.

She also repeatedly framed Shiyi.

She is gravely sinful

and completely unforgivable.

According to our family rules,

she'll be flogged 30 times

and then sent to the village

to be a nun with hair.

She'll never be allowed to
come back to the capital.

My Lord, this is...

Of course I'd put some effort

to welcome you back.

What do you think?

My Lord, you are so thoughtful.

I didn't know until today that

you've been keeping it a secret for me

about me teaching in Xianling Pavilion.

Don't you mind it?

In the beginning, I also thought

that women shouldn't
show themselves in public.

But

when I personally saw you

teach the refugees embroidery,

I knew that you sincerely wanted

to help them.

I shouldn't stop you from doing that.

My Lord,

I want to discuss something with you.

Because of me, Xianling Pavilion

suffered a big loss.

I want to pay Master Jian

compensation for the damage.

You decide.

If you don't have enough money,

you can go to Steward Bai.

My Lord, why are you so nice to me?

Because when you are happy,

I am happy, too.

Your Lordship, Your Ladyship.

General Fu sent a message,

saying that Concubine Qiao
wants to see His Lordship,

and she wouldn't stop crying.

I guess she has something to say to you.

Tell her

His Lordship will be there soon.

My Lord,

do you still remember

that when I was ten,

my mother brought me to Xu family,

and I saw you play zither in the yard.

By accident, I fell down.

To cheer me up,

you folded a big bunch of
peach blossoms for me.

I was looking at you

and thinking

you are so handsome.

When I grow up,

I must marry you.

From then on,

no one else could walk into my heart.

You like playing zither,

so I learned it from
all the famous teachers

and practiced very hard.

When you went into battles,

I was worried sick

and couldn't sleep every day.

That's how I loved you

for over ten years.

If this is why you asked to see me,

you can stop now.

My Lord,

it's true that I murdered Yuanniang.

But Luo Yuanniang

wasn't a good person anyway.

If it hadn't been for her,

how could I, a legitimate daughter

of the Qiao family, have ended up like this

and become a concubine?

Yes, I made mistakes.

But Luo Yuanniang and Shiyi

colluded in setting me up.

Haven't they done anything wrong?

My Lord, why

do you blame me only?

Hadn't you trespassed on
the inner garden,

Yuanniang's plan wouldn't have worked.

You claim yourself
as a legitimate daughter,

yet you don't even have the concept

of avoiding arousing suspicion?

Besides,

that was done by Yuanniang.

Shiyi had nothing to do with it.

In fact, Shiyi has never

given you a hard time.

But you framed her

over and over again.

You are such an evil woman.

But I did that for you.

Luo Yuanniang
didn't understand you at all.

And Luo Shiyi is lowborn.

She doesn't deserve to be your wife.

I'm the only one...

I'm the only one who deserves

to be your wife.

For you,

I can forget about

my pride and dignity.

I've done so much for you.

Why do you

still not understand my heart?

I've loved you for over ten years.

Why can't you

accept me?

I'm the one who loves you

the most in this world.

Love is about mutual appreciation,

respect,

trust,

and compromise.

It cannot be forced,

or obtained by humbling yourself.

Even though you are
a legitimate daughter,

your evil intentions have made

you a heartless person.

Shiyi may be an illegitimate daughter,

but she gained our respect through her

kindness and good heart.

It means

the value of a person

doesn't depend on status,

but nature.

For all this time,

you've never

had any feelings for me?

Mother, I faked my pregnancy

and lied to you.

I also taught the refugees embroidery

in Xianling Pavilion behind your back,

almost ruining
the good name of Xu family.

I'd like to accept punishment.

You did those things for a reason.

I can't blame you.

It's my fault

that I backed up the wrong person

and made you

suffer so much for no reason.

Lingyi,

help Shiyi rise.

Here.

Thank you, Mother.

Please rise.

Mrs. Du.

This ruby head-ornament

is my dowry.

Take it.

Hope it'll help to calm your nerves.

Mother,

this is too valuable.

I can't take it.

It's a great gesture from Mother.

Just take it.

Thank you so much, Mother.

Lingyi has told me

what happened.

He knew everything,

but he didn't tell me

in case I'd get worried.

But, Shiyi,

you are the Marquis's wife.

It's inappropriate for you

to show yourself in public like that.

I hope you can stay away

from Xianling Pavilion from now on.

You should stay at home
being a good wife and mother.

That's what women

are supposed to do.

-Mo...
-Mother.

Shiyi's good deed of teaching

refugees embroidery in Xianling Pavilion

has won wide praise in the Palace.

Imperial consorts and concubines
are all impressed

by her kindness.

If Shiyi leaves

now,

they may think

that we

did it only for fame

when they find out.

In that case,

you can

keep doing it for now.

But I need you

to promise me one thing.

You must not

make a profit for yourself

by using Lingyi's power.

And you must not

take advantage of the people

and harm the reputation
of the Xu family.

Can you promise?

Mother, rest assured.

I promise

that I will not use

His Lordship's power

to make a profit for myself,

and I will not

do anything that'll harm our Xu family.

Good.

Father-in-law, please accept my apology.

Our Xu family misunderstood Shiyi.

Shiyi was wronged for no reason.

I did what I had to do on that day.

So I brought you gifts today
to apologize to you.

Father, I was too thoughtless.

Sorry that I made you, Mother,

Zhenxing and my sister-in-law worried.

My Lord, never mind.

It's all because you and Shiyi

understand

and trust each other,

that Qiao Lianfang finally...

When Yuanniang was pregnant,

Qiao Lianfang

poisoned

her medication

and caused her death.

I failed in protecting her.

I'm willing to
accept your punishment.

Yuanniang

was murdered by Qiao Lianfang?

That's true.

The Marquis said so himself.

Yuanniang

was murdered?

What an awful sin.

I've been cunning for all my life,

but I've never thought

that my precious daughter

would be murdered

by another scheming person.

Is it karma?

Your Ladyship. Are you alright?

Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship. Are you okay?

Maybe

she has a stroke.

Your Ladyship. Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship. Your Ladyship.

Great Madam,

you watched Lianfang grow up.

You know her better

than anybody else does.

She...

She was just confused.

Please give her another chance.

Please let her stay in Xu family.

She can be a concubine or a slave,

as long as you let her stay by your side

and serve you and the Marquis,

so that she can atone for her sin.

I'm begging you. Great Madam.

If I give her another chance,

what about Yuanniang?

What about my grandchild?

Who would give them another chance?

If she doesn't want to be a nun,

then she'll be sent to
Shuntian Prefecture Office.

It's your choice.

Great Madam.

This is...

Lianfang.

Mother.

Lianfang.

This is not a place for humans to live.

Come on.

Let me get you out of here.

Let's go.

If the Xu family go to

Shuntian Prefecture Office and sue us,

we'll find a few people

to take the blame.

Let's go.

Mother.

Please just let me stay.

Lianfang.

What's...

What's wrong with you?

Don't scare me.

Lianfang.

Mother,

I've striven for

the things

I wanted.

And now,

I've found peace

and I want no more.

It's my fault.

I've been teaching you

how to be scheming
since you were little.

I'd do whatever

it takes to get what you wanted.

But I forgot to tell you

that some obsession

can be dangerous.

I thought I could

protect you for a lifetime in that way.

But I didn't expect...

It's my fault.

It's all my fault.

Lianfang.

Mother.

At this point,

I won't blame anybody.

You've got to take good care

of yourself.

I'm your only daughter.

And now,

I can no longer care for you.

Your life will be

even harder in the future.

Lianfang.

Lianfang.

Lianfang.
