Oh My General

20

After marrying into my house and wearing the bracelets, you should control your actions more.

21

My son hasn't come home for seven days.

22

What have you done to him during your first night together?

23

We can opt not to proceed with the consummation of the marriage, but you should at least remove my veil.

24

Our wedding ceremony is now considered complete.

25

You must find him and bring him back within three days!

26

If you are unable to, I will commit suicide by banging my head into a post in front of the Empress Dowager!

27

Brother Hu is so full of talent. How come you're still single up to now?

28

The woman I truly love was forced to marry... an asshole.

29

Episode 5

30

I would like to ask you. How did this Living King of Hell turn into a woman?

31

Why didn't he just stay as a general? But no, he just had to become a woman and come and destroy my life.

32

What are you saying?

33

The General has always been a woman.

34

Brother Hu, you acted as her military strategist and took part in campaigns together with her for the past eight years,

35

don't tell me you never noticed that she was a woman?

36

Stay with me, General!

37

General! General! General!

38

Brother Hu? Brother Hu? Brother Hu!

39

This... She was very good at hiding it.

40

I have the eyes of an ordinary person. I couldn't see anything.

41

Forget it. It doesn't matter if she is a man or woman,

42

it doesn't concern me now.

43

Junwang, since you have already married the General,

44

you are both considered husband and wife now.

45

So I think that you should try to get along with the General...

46

I don't want to hear it.

47

She and I have no prior relationship or any family grudge,

48

so why can't she just leave me alone?

49

Bad news!

50

Bad news, Junwang! General Ye is here!

51

What! W-Where is she right now?

52

She is at the street intersection.

53

Go and distract her!

54

Okay!

55

Brother Hu, catch up with you again on another day!

56

If I were in his place... I would proudly walk out the front door.

57

You...

58

You! Let go of me! I won't run anymore!

59

What do you want?

60

To take you home.

61

I don't want to go back.

62

Mother-in-law wants me to take you home. She's very worried about you.

63

She wants you to go look for me and you at once come looking for me?

64

Yes.

65

If she didn't tell you to do it, you would never search. Right?

66

Yes.

67

Aren't you worried about your man at all?

68

With such a daughter-in-law as I, if I care about my man, his self-respect will be hurt.

69

If I don't care about him, his self-respect would still be hurt. Isn't that so?

70

That's true. I don't think I will be able to escape today.

71

What are you mumbling about?

72

- Let's go home. Where is the carriage?

-Why will we need that?

73

It's so far, you want me to walk all the way back?

74

It is only five blocks.

75

Five blocks! Are you trying to kill me?

76

What's wrong with making a grown man walk five blocks?

77

You are a lunatic and you want others to be like you, too?

78

I don't care. I'm not walking. Find a sedan chair.

79

Fine.

80

- I'm not riding it.

- Why?

81

If you ride the horse and I run behind you, it will be too embarrassing.

82

If I ride the horse and you run behind me, it will really look bad.

83

If the two of us are riding the horse together, wouldn't the heavens rumble with thunder and lightning split us in two?

84

Are you going to walk or not?

85

You especially resemble a white sable planning to charge out of an enclosure right now.

86

You really enjoy the pleasure of subduing others, is that it?

87

Correct!

88

Let me tell you that I'm not a white sable nor prey! I'm a man!

89

That's why I won't use any tricks.

90

I will wait for you to want to go home. Whenever you feel like going home,

91

just let me know. It's not urgent at all.

92

Let's leave then. I'm getting on the horse.

93

Stupid woman. Just here wait then!

94

Rotten rascal. Pulling a prank on me?

95

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team @ viki.com

96

Whoa!

97

Xiao Xiazi!

98

General, Junwang, you are back.

99

- Take Taxue to the stables and take good care of him.

- Okay. (T/N: "Walking on the Snow")

100

Come down.

101

I have never seen such an aggressive and ugly woman running in the city. So badly behaved.

102

Still not going to pay respects to your mother?

103

Do you need me to carry you in?

104

No. I have legs. I can walk on my own.

105

Mother.

106

- Mother.

- Jin'er.

107

- I'm back.

- Where did you go?

108

Are you cold? Are you hungry? Let me look at you now. This...

109

Mother, I'm not cold or hungry.

110

It's just that I'm not happy.

111

Why are you still here? Can't you see that your man has lost weight?

112

Aren't you to going to the kitchen to instruct them to cook something to nourish my son?

113

Where did he lose weight?

114

His egg-like face has become oval.

115

He is at least one hundred twenty catty. (T/N: 72 kg or 159 US pounds)

116

He is heavier than my bronze sword. He is very solid.

117

Mother, I'm going to the study.

118

Okay, have a good rest.

119

Tell Meiniang and Xuan'er to deliver your meal to you later.

120

No need.

121

My son...

122

Mother-in-law, I'm going to my room, too.

123

Xiao Xiazi, bring my blankets and sleeping wear. I insist on implementing a complete separation of quarters!

124

Junwang, is this appropriate?

125

- What do you mean? Go now.

- Okay.

126

What do you want again?

127

Go back with me to my family's home for the third day of our wedding custom.

128

The time has already passed. I'm not going.

129

I already told my family that

130

you were not feeling well and have been lying in bed and that we will go there a few days later.

131

Look at how we fought today. Why are we still going there?

132

Not only are we going back, we'll go back together in a very harmonious manner.

133

- Based on what reason?

- Based on the reason that my paternal grandfather's mind is clouded.

134

My sister-in-law is a widow. I don't want her to worry.

135

You seem rather anxious.

136

Let's speak the truth.

137

I know that I'm not suitable to be a good wife.

138

It's hard for us to get along.

139

It's okay. We can walk our own paths and do our own things.

140

In the future, whether you dine, wine, visit a brothel, gamble or take a concubine,

141

I won't be bothered.

142

You only need to respect this.

143

You can damage my reputation but not my family's.

144

Reputation? I thought you have never cared about this?

145

My Ye family has guarded the borders for generations.

146

When Yongguancheng fell, my family almost got completely wiped out. (T/N: "Harmony Border Defense Fort")

147

It caused my grandfather to become unsettled in his mind.

148

My sister-in-law is young and she became a widow.

149

They are my only family members in this world.

150

What has this to do with me? I can't be bothered.

151

Asshole! Say that again.

152

I will repeat it. I don't care.

153

Don't ignore my warning.

154

Anyone under heaven who dares to damage their reputation, I will do the same damage to theirs.

155

I'm warning you.

156

When I myself had become the Living God of Hell, you still were a boy just playing around in some muddy alleyway!

157

I will give you respect. I will respect you.

158

Are we going home?

159

Okay.

160

Excellent.

161

A few days ago it was so cold. It's really quite boring to stay in the house all day.

162

My waist also increased quite a lot.

163

Princess Consort Dowager, your daughter-in-law, General Ye, has been out on the battlefield for a long time.

164

She doesn't seem to adhere to the etiquette of seniority and proper mother-daughter-in-law practices.

165

She never greets Your Highness in the morning and evening. Is there really such a thing?

166

She's busy with military affairs. It's natural that she neglects these formalities.

167

For all parents in this world, who doesn't want to find a daughter-in-law that exactly suits one's liking?

168

Even if the background is a bit incompatible, the looks a bit bad,

169

she still should be a well-mannered, kind rich man's daughter

170

who takes care of the family and dotes on her husband.

171

General Ye has such grand ambition. She's a meritorious official of our Song.

172

She's not your usual lady that will just nod and say yes.

173

It's still Madam Hai who is understanding and virtuous. No wonder Lord Hai's career keeps rising.

174

Recently, he has already been promoted to Administrator Hai.

175

It's really a virtuous wife bringing good luck to her husband.

176

General Ye and the Junwang are a pair made in heaven.

177

If they are able to bear a child after two years,

178

with you having grandchildren in front of you, one will feel blissful just imagining them.

179

That's right, too. Princess Consort Dowager's eldest daughter-in-law is gentle and filial.

180

Your second daughter-in-law, General Ye, is arrogant and hot-tempered.

181

After breaking her in, you'll get used to it.

182

Princess Consort Qi, don't you think so?

183

I've been living on my husband's Jiangbei vassal land for most of the years and am quite ignorant and uninformed.

184

I don't really know much about their temperaments.

185

But what I know, it's that General Ye is a woman.

186

She still should handle house affairs more and not cover up the talent of her husband.

187

Princess Consort Qi words are indeed quite attentive.

188

If the Princess Consort Dowager could have paired the Junwang to a obedient and sensible daughter-in-law,

189

how could you end up making connections with a high-and-haughty phoenix?

190

In my opinion, the General has power that can overpower the whole sky.

191

Don't let her eventually completely cover up the Junwang.

192

My Zhao family doesn't plan to rely on a woman to flourish.

193

But Senior Tutor Liu marrying you is what you call good luck.

194

Under the protection of his father-in-law's wealth, he was able to slowly rise in ranks.

195

My son will never be controlled by a woman.

196

By the way, I heard that recently Lord Liu has a mistress out there.

197

As a mother, you should take precautions.

198

Don't let your husband spend all the money in the family right away.

199

No matter how you guard, it's hardest to guard against your own husband.

200

Okay already. I must go home to make my husband dinner.

201

Princess Consort Dowager, Madams, I'm taking my leave.

202

If a daughter-in-law can't manage her family affairs,

203

be filial to her mother-in-law and and get along with her husband, why would he marry her then?

204

Mother-in-law, they are just talking at random. Don't keep it in your heart.

205

I know, but I can't stand what they were saying.

206

Since my Jin'er got married, I have been holding back my tears every day.

207

I only get to privately make complaints to you.

208

Just tell me anything. Don't keep it in your heart. It's bad for your health.

209

If she really likes my son, why then does she kept acting tough and not leaving my son any respect?

210

This won't do. I need to discipline her.

211

Mother-in-law, you are an elder. Teaching our daughter-in-law is a right and proper thing to do.

212

She is a general. She should still behave like a daughter-in-law.

213

That's right. Even if she is a general that His Majesty has personally conferred,

214

- she is also a daughter-in-law of the Zhao family.

- That's right.

215

I don't believe that she dares to disobey me.

216

You are right.

217

General, you are back.

218

Junwang, please come in and take a seat. The tea and snacks are ready.

219

Smile. Stop pulling a long face.

220

Come, let's go in.

221

Okay.

222

Let's go.

223

Look. They are so nice to us.

224

We haven't returned after getting married for so long. They must be worried that I don't like you.

225

It's possible.

226

They were worried. They were worried that the General had beaten up the Junwang on your wedding night

227

to the point that you couldn't get up from the bed anymore.

228

They were so afraid.

229

Qiu Shiu, you are becoming more unruly.

230

This way, please.

231

Forbearance Hall

232

Please come in.

233

Serve the tea.

234

Junwang, please enjoy your tea.

235

Thank you, Sister-in-law. Xiao Xiazi, bring the gifts here.

236

I already told the staff to distribute them.

237

Junwang, you are too hospitable.

238

I heard that my granddaughter-in-law is here.

239

Granddaughter-in-law! Granddaughter-in-law!

240

I missed you to death, missed you to death!

241

Greetings, Grandfather.

242

Sit down now.

243

Since you were little, you have only known how to be rude, unreasonable, and to keep fighting.

244

Look at how soft and delicate this skin is.

245

You dare to hurt, and bully her?

246

Hey, if he bullies you again, tell me.

247

Watch me turn his head into a pig's head.

248

Grandfather, whose Grandfather are you?

249

You don't know whose Grandfather I am?

250

- Mine. I didn't bully him.

- You!

251

Don't I know your moral character?

252

Has all your studying gone to the dogs? Other than knowing how to fight,

253

do you do any real work?

254

Who can withstand living with you?

255

When your father is back from the border,

256

I will tell him to discipline you. Stubborn rascal.

257

Border? Isn't your father already...

258

- Isn't your father already–

- Shh!

259

While your father and two older brothers are guarding the border,

260

eating out in the wind, sleeping with the dew, bravely killing the enemies...

261

I dream of them every night.

262

I wrote them a letter, asking the three of them to

263

come home during the New Year so we can at least be reunited.

264

Furthermore...

265

there's the Empress Dowager who likes to argue with me...

266

this darn old fogey. I...

267

I miss her.

268

Grandfather. Grandfather!

269

Today is the day I'm visiting for the "three days after the marriage" custom. Can't you be happy?

270

Where are Nianbei and Siwu, those two rascals?

271

Xiao Zhong Zi has gone to fetch them.

272

Uncle Ah Zhao.

273

Uncle Ah Zhao, I miss you very much.

274

It's clearly Aunt Ah Zhao. You're already grown up and you still act coquettishly. No shame.

275

Yujin, they are my nephews, Nian Bei and Si Wu.

276

Greet your Uncle.

277

Greetings, Uncle.

278

Hello.

279

Uncle Ah Zhao, your man is very beautiful.

280

You didn't study diligently again. For a man, you should say that he's handsome.

281

Aunt Ah Zhao, I already mastered the sword techniques which you taught me previously.

282

Really? You are indeed great kids of the Ye family.

283

- But you shouldn't just train in this. You must also learn knowledge from a teacher, too. Understand?

- Yes.

284

Yes, I have already arranged for Official Liu to be their teacher. I heard that he is knowledgeable.

285

Official Liu?

286

Although that person is highly-educated, he is a sanctimonious hypocrite.

287

He is known for being unfaithful to his wives ("love them and leave them"), the source of his wealth is questionable.

288

A vile person like that who only cares about profit might be a bad influence to the children.

289

Beautiful Uncle, what is the meaning of "love them and leave them?"

290

About this... Ah!

291

It tells of a person who is initially barbaric and uneducated,

292

afterwards, hitting and threatening people randomly.

293

In the end, they get ruthlessly abandoned.

294

Granddaughter-in-law, don't worry.

295

With me here, he wouldn't dare to abandon you.

296

Enough, you have just met your Aunt and Uncle.

297

Didn't you say you wanted to play with your Great-Grandfather? Go with him now.

298

- Great-Grandfather.

- Great-Grandfather.

299

I'm angry. I don't want to play with you. Who wants to play with you?

300

You have no manners. You saw me

301

and didn't offer your greetings. I'm not playing with you.

302

- Greetings, Great-Grandfather.

- Greetings, Great-Grandfather.

303

Play with us, Great-Grandfather.

304

- Let's go and play.

- Slow down!

305

Who did you hear from regarding Official Liu?

306

Although I haven't done any serious work, I'm very good at absorbing capital gossip.

307

You just came back from the borders. You don't know what's going on in the Capital.

308

Sister-in-law, on the other hand, is a virtuous housewife.

309

It's natural that you both don't know these absurd scandals.

310

If you want my opinion, if you want to hire a teacher,

311

why don't we hire your older brother, Fan Zhongyan?

312

He has a good character and is very knowledgeable.

313

Elder Brother is the collator in the secret pavilion (an area of the palace library). He is very diligent in this work,

314

always forgetting to eat or sleep.

315

As his younger sister, would I dare to trouble him?

316

Don't tell me he doesn't even have time to teach his own nephews?

317

Your Highness may not know this.

318

My older brother is famous for being stubborn.

319

If these two energetic monkeys are smart and studious,

320

I wouldn't need to ask him. He would naturally want to teach them.

321

It's a pity these two children only know about weapons.

322

This matter is not urgent. I have someone in mind.

323

The person you are recommending, I wonder which school he is from?

324

His family name is "Hu," his first name is "Qing."

325

I've already met him. He is well-versed in books and poems and has an upright character.

326

"Huli" (Fox) is not a bad choice,

327

but he is unpredictable in what he does.

328

Are you stupid? This way, he won't teach the kids to be bookworms.

329

Hu Qing? Isn't he General Ye's military strategist?

330

After he came back to the capital,

331

His Majesty asked him to help you manage the one hundred thousand main force soldiers in the Capital.

332

His task must be heavy.

333

This won't be a problem. I will talk to him. It's just about finding the time for it.

334

This is great, then.

335

Junwang, enjoy your tea first. I'm going to check the kitchen. The meal will be served soon.

336

Thank you, Sister-in-law.

337

Little Sister, come with me to the kitchen, too.

338

Okay.

339

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team@ Viki.com

340

Little Sister, you have been violent since you were young.

341

You must learn to restrain yourself after marriage. You must not be violent towards your man.

342

You have already reminded me many times.

343

This lad is kind and intelligent.

344

It's just that he's a bit weak.

345

You have great strength. When you are angry, be careful that you don't hurt him.

346

Sister-in-law, don't worry. I definitely won't punch him to death.

347

So mischievous. Let's go.

348

When you go back to the Imperial Palace, say hello to the Empress Dowager for me.

349

I know already, Grandfather.

350

You also should take good care of yourself.

351

Empress Dowager is as old as I am.

352

She's seventy or eighty years old already, yet her face is still as soft as a tofu.

353

Once I get the time,

354

I'll go duel with her and see who's martial arts skills are better.

355

Don't worry, Grandfather. I surely will relay to the Empress Dowager

356

for her to find time to exchange some martial arts moves with you.

357

From now on, visit us more often.

358

Granddaughter-in-law, you should work harder. How come your abdomen is still so flat?

359

Grandfather, it's grandson-in-law, not granddaughter-in-law.

360

You are my granddaughter-in-law.

361

Stinky rascal, you're not allowed to hit your wife,

362

or else I won't acknowledge you as my grandson.

363

Okay, Grandfather. Come, Wife. We're going now!

364

Grandfather, go back now.

365

Today, your performance was good.

366

You even thought of looking for a teacher for my nephews. Thanks.

367

I've already done all that you've requested.

368

That's already giving your family enough honor, right?

369

Yes.

370

Today, I've given your family enough honor.

371

You should also give my family some, right?

372

Just tell me what to do.

373

Yesterday, my mother was crying when she told me

374

that a few days ago, she went with some rich madams for afternoon tea.

375

Those wives laughed at her for having a new daughter-in-law that's too arrogant and not filial.

376

She got really embarrassed.

377

These past days, she refused to go out of the house.

378

That's why, starting tomorrow, you must greet her in the morning and evening.

379

Stay be her side every day and serve her well.

380

Chat and drink tea with her.

381

This way, we can shut those talkative mouths.

382

I believe that you can do it.

383

- General, you're here to greet the Princess Consort Dowager, right?

- Right.

384

General, you're too early. The Princess Consort Dowager hasn't awakened yet.

385

I still have to attend the morning court later. Go and inform her.

386

Informing the Princess Consort Dowager, General Ye is outside waiting to greet you.

387

The sky isn't bright yet.

388

She's already outside calling and won't go away.

389

If the Princess Consort Dowager is unable to get up, I'll just tell the General to leave

390

and just come back later.

391

No!

392

Just to teach my good daughter-in-law a lesson, I must wake up early, too.

393

Cuizhi, go get me a basin of cold water.

394

Yes.

395

General, the Princess Consort Dowager is up. Please go inside.

396

Greetings, Mother-in-law.

397

Rise.

398

Mother-in-law, please enjoy the tea.

399

Mother-in-law, you look nice today.

400

How am I looking nice?

401

Everywhere.

402

Your eyes look larger than yesterday.

403

I got awakened by you this early in the morning.

404

My eyes are so swollen now, so that I couldn't even open them. Say, you—

405

Mother-in-law, rest well. I'll go to morning court now.

406

You...

407

Where is Yuque's wife?

408

How come she's not here to greet me!

409

Becoming lazier...

410

Didn't she see that I'm awake already?

411

Your daughter-in-law is here to greet you.

412

Mother-in-law, good afternoon.

413

Rise.

414

Mother-in-law, I heard that Official Liu has a new concubine.

415

The Junwang has no children yet.

416

You are busy with your official work and have no time to take care of him.

417

Why not give him some additional concubines, so he could bring some descendants to our family soon?

418

Sure. Mother-in-law, you decide.

419

Do you have any suitable choices?

420

Mother, how about Cuizhi?

421

I feel that she's not bad.

422

Look. She's tall, long-legged, and her skin is also good.

423

Just one look and you know that she's well-fed.

424

If this was on the border, all the soldiers would have red eyes right now.

425

Her, then.

426

It's fine, Mother, if you can't part with her, I'll just go ask Canjiang Hai. (T/N: General under Deputy Commander)

427

Canjiang Hai is from Yangzhou. He told me that the women in Yangzhou (T/N: Yangzhou was famous for prostitutes)

428

are all very beautiful and talented in the arts.

429

Also, they are very good in serving people. After hearing it, even I was interested.

430

How about I choose two and you decide on whom to take?

431

Are you choosing a concubine for your husband or for yourself?

432

My husband.

433

Mother-in-law, greetings.

434

Rise.

435

Good thing you have been greeting me and accompanying me daily.

436

For these past days, my appetite has greatly decreased.

437

I've also grown a lot thinner.

438

Really? This is great.

439

Mother-in-law, after getting thinner, your figure has become prettier.

440

You look as if you're ten years younger.

441

What did you say?

442

I was praising you.

443

Your daughter-in-law, Ye Zhao, is here to greet you.

444

Mother-in-law, good afternoon.

445

What are you doing?

446

Sorry. Sorry!

447

What do you really want to do?
