[ Love and Destiny ]

[ Episode 29 ]

- A'Mo? - Father, are you going out?

Look at this weather, there's thunder and lightning.

I was worried about you being in the mountains alone gathering herbs.

I was about to go find you.

Come, give me the herb basket.

No need.

Then let's go back now.

What's wrong? What's wrong with your leg?

It's nothing. It's nothing.

You have to be careful in the future.

Let's go.

[ Peach Blossom Lodge ]

Are you cold?

Why aren't you going inside?

Father, do you have something on your mind?

It's actually not a big issue.

The Song Family sent the marriage proposal yesterday.

I'm thinking that you're about to get married.

I am...

a bit reluctant to marry you off.

I'm not worried much about Aunt and Uncle Song,

I'm just worried about this future son-in-law of mine.

He has left home for a long time after all.

Has his temperament changed?

I also heard

his chess and martial arts skills are all very good.

But why does a scholar need to practice martial arts?

How is his temper?

Will he bully you?

Moreover, he will take the Imperial civil examination.

What if he passes?

If he gets sent to be an official someplace else,

won't it be hard for me to see you again?

Why didn't I think of this?

If you are married off alone,

what if someone bullies you,

and I'm not with you?

I saw Young Lord Song today.

You two met?

Then what impression do you have of him?

He can understand sign language.

Really?

Then it means he is sincere toward you!

Then I won't need to worry about you anymore.

Come, come.

Before you get married, let's practice some more.

Look at the shape of my mouth.

Daddy.

Dad.

Yes, use force!

- Daddy! - Dad.

Right! Daddy.

- Daddy. - Daddy.

Husband.

- Hus... - Hus...

- Husband. - Husband.

Hus...

Hus! Hus!

Hus.

- Husband. - Husband.

Housekeeper Yu.

Housekeeper Song, you are here.

Is First Young Miss Lin home?

- Yes, yes. Please, this way. - Okay.

First Young Miss.

Come with me.

A'Mo.

This is Housekeeper Song.

First Young Miss.

My Master knows that tomorrow is your birthday.

He especially ordered me to deliver your birthday present.

These are fabrics that were specially bought in the capital.

Hope you will like them.

So beautiful!

What's great about fabrics from the capital?

Can my Lin Family not afford to buy one?

The fabrics of this dress of mine were all bought from the capital.

There's nothing rare about this.

Second Young Miss.

This is also the kind intention of Lord Song.

Our First Young Miss is thanking you.

First Young Miss, no need to be so courteous.

My Master said that our two families will be one soon.

We should have more interactions like this in the future.

Yes.

Then, I won't disturb you anymore.

I'll take my leave.

Please.

Please stay.

Take care then.

Come.

I thought it would be very delicious! It's just so-so.

This must have been stored for a long time.

Why are you looking at me? It's really not that good.

You don't believe me? Taste it.

See? Even she herself isn't willing to.

A rotten fabric and a snack that has been stored

for who knows how long were able to fool you.

You even bowed with hands held in front to him.

You are really so afraid of not getting married off.

What? You don't like to hear it?

Don't think that the Song Family really likes you.

I heard from my mother

that the Song Family owed our father for saving them.

Uncle Song is just repaying it.

Understand?

I also heard that their son was unwilling to return.

His father had to drag him back from the capital after sending several letters to him.

He is also against this wedding.

Or else, how come he still hasn't visited our house

after returning for quite some time?

That's more like it.

He's not dumb. Who will want to marry a deaf and mute woman as a wife?

You think you will have good days when you marry into their family?

I'm not done speaking!

The Young Lord of the Song family is outstanding in terms of looks and scholarly knowledge.

He must be very arrogant.

There are so many great ladies around. Maybe after a few days of being married to him,

you will be starting to take in concubines for him!

Second Young Miss.

First Young Miss can't hear you.

So what?

I just wanted to say it!

I also heard that their son was unwilling to return.

His father had to drag him back from the capital

after sending several letters to him.

He is also against this wedding.

Or else, how come he still hasn't visited our house

after returning for quite some time?

Who will want to marry a deaf and mute woman as a wife?

You think you will have good days when you marry into their family?

Come.

Tomorrow is A'Mo's birthday.

Without realizing it, she has already grown into a young lady.

Yes.

I still remember A'Mo being just this tall years ago.

In a blink of an eye, she's getting married.

Housekeeper Yu.

Remember to cook A'Mo some longevity noodles tomorrow.

Yes.

A'Mo is about to be married off soon.

This is her last birthday in this house.

Thank you, Grandmother.

Eat.

Eat. Come.

Look at the path.

First Young Miss is already asleep.

It will be her birthday tomorrow.

This peach tree will probably be blossoming again.

Do you still need to ask? It's as if you never saw it.

Every year, during First Young Miss's birthday, this tree will flower.

It's very accurate.

This peach tree being filled with flowers

is really so pretty to look at.

First Young Miss sits beneath this tree for a whole day.

The people in town all say that First Young Miss

is an auspicious person being protected by fairies.

What a pity this will be the last birthday that First Miss will spend in this house.

Once she's married off to the Song Family,

don't know if she will still have a chance to see this peach tree blossom?

Let's go.

What kind of person is he?

I keep feeling that he's not like what Little Sister described.

If he was indeed like that, would he like me?

I can just take one step at a time.

Little peach tree,

I will be married off soon.

In the future, I will not be living in this house.

Once I leave, will you still blossom?

Little peach tree,

I don't know about others,

but you surely like me.

Am I right?

Am I right?

Am I right?

First Young Miss, you're up.

Housekeeper Yu was the one who made these longevity noodles.

A very generous amount of ingredients were used. It must be very delicious.

First Young Miss, quickly eat it while it's hot.

Your father went to the Medicine Bureau.

He will be back soon.

You...

You are...giving me this?

I am not hungry.

Mother, today is my birthday.

This is my last birthday in this house.

Mother, I know that you don't like me.

In growing up, I have never done anything that you liked.

I...

I...

It's not that I don't like you.

But I was given birth by you.

I should be filial to you.

I couldn't hear upon birth.

I can't have chats with you and even caused you to be laughed at by others,

be disliked by Grandmother. It's all my fault.

I'm going to be married soon.

I can't frequently practice my filial duties by your side anymore.

Can you eat this bowl of noodles with me?

Come.

I distanced myself from you

for my own reasons.

You are an auspicious child.

Since you were little, you have been protected by the gods.

Once you are married off,

don't feel that you are beneath others just because you can't hear.

Understand?

Come, let's eat the noodles.

Let's eat.

First Young Miss, this...

Why the loud noises? Behaving so atrociously!

Second Young Miss.

And I thought it's something important.

Isn't it just a rotten peach tree?

If it's broken, then it's broken. Why the need to make a fuss about it?

Quickly throw it away,

to avoid irritating people.

Oh, I almost forgot.

This rotten peach tree seems to blossom on your birthday every year.

Too bad. You won't be able to see it again.

Why the sad face?

You are bringing us bad luck.

You two drag this rotten tree and throw it away.

Yes.

First Young Miss, it's getting dark. Let's quickly go back.

Then we will take our leave first.

Miss, is this wood yours?

Miss?

I just happen to be in need of logs.

If you don't want it, I'm chopping it up!

I'm really chopping it up!

Miss, come buy!

Good wine!

Let's eat.

What a beauty.

A good one.

- Stop right there! - Stop!

What do you want?

Play with us.

That's right.

Get lost!

She's even a spicy one.

I like it.

Let's go.

[ Fulin Inn ]

Princess.

Why did you stop me?

Princess, this is the mortal world.

Rashly using magic and exposing your identity may invite trouble.

Where is Brother Jingxiu? Have you found him?

Princess, please forgive me. I still haven't found him.

But I can be sure that he's not in Shanling Territory anymore.

He's not in Shanling Territory?

That's good then. As long as he's safe, then it's good.

Princess, don't worry. I will find him as soon as possible.

Old Madam.

These are the betrothal gifts that my Master ordered me to deliver for Miss A'Mo.

He initially wanted to personally come,

but urgent matters came up in the Medical Bureau and he was unable to leave them.

He was afraid that the auspicious hour would be missed, so he instructed me

to apologize to you, Old Madam.

It's okay.

Official matters take priority.

Please go inside.

Thank you, Old Madam.

Sit down.

I came today

to advise you

before you get married.

Mother, please say it.

Your future husband

has been studying alongside scholars in the capital since he was young.

I'm sure he's a person who strictly abides by proper etiquette.

You must always remember my words.

When you are married off, you must follow your husband. You must always be cautious and know the proper etiquette.

Carefully serve him well.

You must not disobey him.

This is the proper conduct of a wife.

If you want your marital life to be harmonious,

you must remember these things in your heart.

Why are you smiling?

Why are you smiling?

This golden hairpin

was given by Mother to me

before I was married off.

I'm giving it to you.

Here.

Carry it with you when you are married off.

It can serve as a token

of our mother-daughter relationship.

Thank you, Mother.

Okay then.

Go to sleep early.

I will go back to my room.

Rest early.

These past days, it's been raining like this.

The Dragon Lord must be mad. (T/N Chinese god of rain and weather)

This isn't a good sign.

Housekeeper Yu, don't talk such nonsense!

What do you mean, the Dragon Lord getting mad? It's clearly the rainy season!

With the way you said it, you will be scaring others! (T/N inauspicious speech)

What do you know, you little child?

[ Hefeng Relay Station ]

Your dishes.

Miss, what our guesthouse entertains are government officials.

We do not accept commoners here.

Look. It's raining hard outside.

Can you allow me to shelter here for a while?

I can't decide that.

This Miss came with me.

Lord Fang.

This is my official seal.

Official Fang, please sit down.

- Quickly get us some hot water. - Okay.

Miss, please.

Miss, drink some hot water in a moment to warm yourself.

But, have we met?

A few days ago, in my clinic,

I checked the pulse of your wife.

So, that's why.

I was disrespectful.

Come.

How's the situation on the path ahead?

My Lord, the rain is getting stronger.

I fear that the mountain path won't be that easy to travel.

Shelter from the rain and rest first. We'll talk once the rain stops.

Yes.

Shelter from the rain and rest!

Yes!

My Lord, with the rain falling so hard,

I think we won't be able to continue with our trip.

Sit down.

Yes.

- I can't do anything about it! - I'm begging you!

For the sake of my working hard for so many years, I'm begging you!

I'm begging you to find my son a doctor!

My son is gravely ill. He can't wait any longer. I'm begging you!

Even if you beg me, it's no use! It's raining hard outside.

This place is high up the mountain and the road is slippery. Who would brave the rain to find you a doctor?

Moreover, it's getting dark soon. Once he reaches the town, the doctor will have closed his clinic!

What then should I do?

Without a doctor by tonight, my son might—

Cry! Keep crying! You are just sharing bad luck!

If someone wants to die, go die outside. Don't die here!

What if it's a contagious disease, and spreads to others?

All the people here are all government officials. If any problems arise,

do you know what crime you would be facing?

Hurry up and go! Go!

Wait!

Aunt, I am a doctor.

If you don't mind, I can check the child.

Okay. Okay.

Can you really treat him?

Maybe it's really a contagious disease?

Whether I'm able to cure this child or not, I can't guarantee.

But looking at you,

your illness does seem incurable.

How dare you! Who are you to be telling me I'm sick!

My friend is a bit tactless.

If she has offended you, please forgive her.

Aunt, please take me to see him.

Okay. Okay.

Son, how are you?

Do you feel better?

What's wrong? What's wrong with him?

What's wrong? What... He... What's wrong with him?

It's okay. After he vomits a few more times,

he will be fine.

How do you feel now? Slowly.

Get up.

How do you feel?

Mother...Mother...

Mother. I feel much better.

It doesn't hurt anymore.

I just feel so heavy, lacking in strength.

You scared me so much. Let's see if you dare eat anything carelessly again!

Thank you, Miracle Doctor. Thank you.

No need to be so courteous.

But tonight, don't feed him anything now.

He might still have a fever later. Once it breaks,

you can feed him some porridge.

Okay. Thank you. Thanks.

I heard that the Crown Prince is gravely ill.

Prince of Luoyang has already traveled nonstop back to the capital.

I also heard about it.

The present Emperor has lost four Princes successively.

The Crown Prince is the only one left!

If he is also gone, I fear the throne...

The few people who are here today are all from the palace.

Looking at their murderous aura, I fear that someone will be facing misfortunes soon.

Come. Come. This matter doesn't concern us, so let's not be troubled by it.

Come, drink.

Please.

I think this rain tonight

will not stop.

Where are you from, Miss?

Wei County.

I've been a government official there for two years.

How come I've never seen you, Miss?

There are so many people in Wei County. You probably haven't met all of them, right?

That's right too.

It's just that your medicinal skills are outstanding and you look...

Even if I haven't seen you, I should have heard of you.

Maybe we have once met,

but you've forgotten about it?

How is that possible?

I thought you didn't eat lamb meat?

Why did you think that I don't eat lamb meat, Miss?

I was just guessing.

I do eat lamb.

Lamb meat can warm you up, and it does not have as much fat as pork.

In this season, drinking some lamb meat soup can really warm your stomach.

So painful!

So painful!

This place, and this area.

You two go prepare.

Yes.

Greetings, Senior Deity.

Is she getting married?

Her...life trial has arrived.
