I'll get going then. 188 00:13:53,380 --> 00:13:54,370 Quickly go... 189 00:13:54,370 --> 00:13:56,770 Thank you for the clothing that you made for me. 190 00:14:10,970 --> 00:14:13,820 "Any woman should learn to properly conduct oneself first." 191 00:14:13,820 --> 00:14:16,950 "In summary, the manner that a proper lady should conduct herself is simply being pure and chaste." 192 00:14:17,740 --> 00:14:22,130 This is not right. How come I'm reading the "Examples for Women" here, 193 00:14:22,130 --> 00:14:24,400 while she's doing nothing? 194 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:49,630 One Hundred Thousand Liang in Paper Currency 195 00:14:57,700 --> 00:15:01,260 Your Majesty, there have been wars for successive years. Many things are waiting to be done. 196 00:15:01,260 --> 00:15:05,110 The national treasury is now empty. It's also the Empress Dowager's birthday soon. 197 00:15:05,110 --> 00:15:09,000 Although Your Majesty ordered the celebration to be very simple, we still shouldn't make it too simple. 198 00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:13,710 This one hundred thousand liang in paper money that Nanping Junwang delivered as budget for the birthday of Empress Dowager 199 00:15:13,710 --> 00:15:17,380 is, after all, an expression of his filial piety. 200 00:15:17,380 --> 00:15:20,170 The source of the money is quite clean, too. 201 00:15:20,170 --> 00:15:24,400 A casino can open up for business as long as they get a government permit, 202 00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:30,390 as long as one doesn't openly disregard the law and suppress the citizens. Winning is completely based on one's ability. 203 00:15:30,390 --> 00:15:34,420 Trashing one or two evil casinos and beating up two scoundrels, 204 00:15:34,420 --> 00:15:40,940 as long as no one dies, just let the Imperial Censor give him a few scoldings at most. 205 00:15:40,940 --> 00:15:43,450 This is really not a big deal. 206 00:15:47,620 --> 00:15:50,330 Absurd. 207 00:15:50,330 --> 00:15:56,400 A distinguished Nanping Junwang causing trouble in a casino. You completely brought shame to our royal clan. 208 00:15:58,500 --> 00:15:59,850 You... 209 00:16:03,650 --> 00:16:09,260 This time, I'll temporarily let this off in consideration for your filial act towards the Empress Dowager. 210 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,000 These capital officials are getting more and more unruly. 211 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,400 This Grand Tutor Liu already has so many vassal lands, yet he still keeps dredging for money. 212 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,340 Brothels, casinos, dominating the market... And furthermore, there's that Minister Lu, 213 00:16:24,340 --> 00:16:27,460 just for a vacation villa, he permitted his servants 214 00:16:27,460 --> 00:16:31,260 to destroy the farming fields of other people and even occupied their farmhouse. 215 00:16:31,260 --> 00:16:34,260 That's right! If not because the government is in need of people right now, 216 00:16:34,260 --> 00:16:36,860 those officials should have been removed from office and investigated already. 217 00:16:36,860 --> 00:16:37,880 Isn't it so, Royal Uncle? 218 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:39,820 Are you the only one sensible here? 219 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:53,020 This is a real work by Wu Daozi. It was drawn so cleverly. 220 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:57,940 Thank you for Royal Uncle's gift! Your Majesty is busy with official affairs. I'll take my leave then. 221 00:16:57,940 --> 00:17:00,380 Stop! Stop right there! 222 00:17:00,380 --> 00:17:01,710 Noble Consort. 223 00:17:01,710 --> 00:17:04,320 What's wrong with you, Your Majesty? 224 00:17:09,850 --> 00:17:12,700 Your Majesty, calm down. 225 00:17:12,700 --> 00:17:16,220 Your Majesty, although Yujin is naughty, 226 00:17:16,220 --> 00:17:20,700 he is still more sensible and obedient than other hedonistic sons of the rich families in the capital. 227 00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:23,410 My favored consort, you don't know 228 00:17:23,410 --> 00:17:26,000 how helpless I am... 229 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:30,030 with this nephew of mine. 230 00:17:30,030 --> 00:17:34,280 Your Majesty, Noble Consort must have some important matter to discuss with you. 231 00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,660 I won't bother you two anymore. I'll go visit the Empress Dowager now. 232 00:17:37,660 --> 00:17:39,350 Wait! 233 00:17:43,950 --> 00:17:45,830 Yujin. 234 00:17:47,290 --> 00:17:53,820 Yujin, you've been conferred as Nanping Junwang for quite some time already. 235 00:17:53,820 --> 00:17:56,930 You can't keep playing around your whole life. 236 00:17:56,930 --> 00:18:00,320 How about I give you an official position, 237 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,890 so that you can exert some efforts for Song? 238 00:18:04,870 --> 00:18:07,660 Did this weasel get enchanted by a vixen to the point of having a disordered mental state? 239 00:18:07,660 --> 00:18:09,580 Does he want the empire to end? 240 00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:14,850 Royal Uncle, you also know my capabilities. 241 00:18:14,850 --> 00:18:17,980 Other than eating, drinking, and playing around, I don't know how to do anything else. 242 00:18:17,980 --> 00:18:21,000 Imperial scholars have taught me for so many years, 243 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:26,600 but I could only read a few books. How can I know about the principles of being a government official? 244 00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,570 Letting me become an official might bring harm to a lot of people. 245 00:18:30,570 --> 00:18:34,320 Yujin, don't belittle yourself too much. 246 00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:40,120 After pondering on it for a long time, I think that you're the best choice for this position. 247 00:18:40,120 --> 00:18:41,370 What position? 248 00:18:41,370 --> 00:18:44,950 Dongjing City's patrolling Imperial Censor. 249 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:54,200 A city's patrolling Imperial Censor may sound high and mighty, but it's just a sixth-ranked minor official that handles street matters. 250 00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,420 He handles fights of old women, 251 00:18:56,420 --> 00:19:00,490 not paying when going to brothels, and other measly, unimportant matters. 252 00:19:00,490 --> 00:19:01,990 Junwang, 253 00:19:03,230 --> 00:19:05,440 it's not easy to manage the big streets of the capital. 254 00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,230 Just a bunch of leaves falling off a tree might land on the heads of two or three nobles. 255 00:19:08,230 --> 00:19:09,930 This is a place where high ministers gather, 256 00:19:09,930 --> 00:19:12,610 where numerous masters and servants of royal family and aristocrats can be seen, 257 00:19:12,610 --> 00:19:14,600 where there are different, complex and entangled relationships. Although the City Patrol Censor 258 00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:18,030 is of low rank, his duty is very important. 259 00:19:18,030 --> 00:19:19,760 Forget it. 260 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,450 How can I handle major matters like that with my abilities? 261 00:19:22,450 --> 00:19:24,810 You even dared to meddle with Lu Zhenting's matters, 262 00:19:24,810 --> 00:19:27,420 is there any other person that you won't dare to bother? 263 00:19:29,620 --> 00:19:30,960 What if they won't listen to me? 264 00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:32,800 You have Ye Zhao as your backer. 265 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:36,090 Then... if I mess it up, will you fire me? 266 00:19:36,090 --> 00:19:37,860 Fire you? 267 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:44,310 Not really. At most, I'll just behead you. 268 00:19:45,700 --> 00:19:47,960 I will lose my head? I... 269 00:19:49,970 --> 00:19:51,870 I... 270 00:19:53,790 --> 00:19:55,300 Yujin. 271 00:19:57,750 --> 00:19:59,360 Yujin! 272 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:22,190 Informing Your Majesty and Your Highness the Noble Consort, 273 00:20:22,190 --> 00:20:27,730 Nanping Junwang is all right. He's just overly-exhausted and suffered a little shock. 274 00:20:27,730 --> 00:20:32,090 I'll prescribe some medicines, let him recuperate, and he'll recover in no time. 275 00:20:33,030 --> 00:20:36,650 Yujin, don't worry. You just need to rest for a few days. 276 00:20:36,650 --> 00:20:40,130 I've already told the Empress Dowager of your taking on the job of the capital's City Patrol Censor. 277 00:20:40,130 --> 00:20:45,710 When the Empress Dowager heard it, she was so happy. She kept praising you as having sensibly the desire to improve. 278 00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:00,090 I'm a distinguished Nanping Junwang, yet I have to become a sixth-ranked official 279 00:21:00,090 --> 00:21:06,080 and wear some green-colored robe. When I stand in between my cousins who are wearing red and purple robes, 280 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:07,870 how embarrassing will that be! 281 00:21:07,870 --> 00:21:11,210 All jobs are equal. Someone must do it. 282 00:21:11,210 --> 00:21:14,250 Just get promoted in the future then. 283 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,030 Good! 284 00:21:20,030 --> 00:21:21,540 Good, Good! 285 00:21:21,540 --> 00:21:23,470 So great! 286 00:21:31,730 --> 00:21:33,380 Very good! 287 00:21:35,220 --> 00:21:37,030 Xuan'er, look! 288 00:21:39,180 --> 00:21:41,220 General, you've got great moves! 289 00:21:41,220 --> 00:21:46,290 - So handsome. - This move is called "Majestic General sweeping away a thousand miles of wind and frost with one move." 290 00:21:46,290 --> 00:21:49,670 - What's majestic? You're clearly just some bandit leader. - Great! 291 00:21:49,670 --> 00:21:51,020 Good! 292 00:21:51,020 --> 00:21:55,420 This move is called "General defeating thousands of soldiers with one sword." 293 00:21:56,140 --> 00:22:00,920 That is clearly a violent female brawler pulling out her sword, stunning and shattering human integrity. 294 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:05,540 The heavens will throw down a lightning bolt to strike and kill this scoundrel. 295 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,830 - Junwang, you're back. - You're back. 296 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:12,090 Husband, you're back! 297 00:22:12,090 --> 00:22:15,210 - General! You must be tired! - I'm fine. 298 00:22:15,210 --> 00:22:18,730 General, come. Drink some wine. 299 00:22:23,030 --> 00:22:26,570 How come I've never seen you three being this enthusiastic when I'm in the house? 300 00:22:28,510 --> 00:22:31,550 Yujin, you're back just in time. I'm also tired from swordplay. 301 00:22:31,550 --> 00:22:34,650 The good wines and good meat are all here. Come, drink some wine. 302 00:22:34,650 --> 00:22:37,880 Swordplay? I think you're just showing off. 303 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,580 I really want to divorce you four... wife, concubine, and tongfang maids, 304 00:22:41,580 --> 00:22:45,430 who are unfaithful and are trying to infuriate me. (T/N: lit. "the red apricot tree leans over garden wall") 305 00:22:46,140 --> 00:22:48,210 My actions are indeed a bit crude. 306 00:22:48,210 --> 00:22:51,620 Don't take it to heart. Didn't I leave behind good wines and good meat for you? 307 00:22:51,620 --> 00:22:54,670 Come. I'll fill one to the brim for you. 308 00:22:57,020 --> 00:22:58,960 I want to eat meat. 309 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,540 Okay. Eat meat. 310 00:23:02,470 --> 00:23:05,180 I'll choose a lean one for you. 311 00:23:05,180 --> 00:23:08,280 General, Junwang, that... You two just chat first. 312 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,410 I'll take my leave now. 313 00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:18,900 Meiniang and Xuan'er, weren't you two supposed to meet Madam Hai to do some flower embroidery? 314 00:23:19,470 --> 00:23:22,090 - Right... Look at my memory! - Right! 315 00:23:22,090 --> 00:23:23,570 Let's go. 316 00:23:24,170 --> 00:23:27,040 Let's go back to our rooms and burn some incense to Bodhisattva. (T/N: Buddhist saint who delays going to Nirvana to help suffering mortals) 317 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,080 Let's pray that their relationship will heat up and that they will never divorce. 318 00:23:30,080 --> 00:23:33,210 Sister said it right. Better also to bless us three 319 00:23:33,210 --> 00:23:35,220 to being able to enjoy grandeur and splendor forever. 320 00:23:35,220 --> 00:23:36,900 - Let's go. - Let's go. 321 00:23:38,230 --> 00:23:40,370 The Princess Consort Dowager has been having successive good happenings lately. 322 00:23:40,370 --> 00:23:42,550 You just got a great general as a daughter-in-law. 323 00:23:42,550 --> 00:23:45,440 And now, your son is the Capital City Patrol Censor. 324 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,090 Fortune is really shining down on you. 325 00:23:48,090 --> 00:23:53,180 Don't mention it anymore. The Junwang now is so docile and obedient to the General. 326 00:23:53,180 --> 00:23:59,030 I heard that in a few days, they're moving out of the Prince Zhao Manor and living in their own house. 327 00:23:59,030 --> 00:24:01,950 It's true that a mother can't dictate a grown son's life. 328 00:24:01,950 --> 00:24:05,380 His Majesty gifted a new manor to the Junwang. 329 00:24:05,380 --> 00:24:08,390 We mustn't refuse the grace of His Majesty. Moreover, 330 00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:15,660 Yujin and the General are both now working for the government. It's just right for them to have their own manor. 331 00:24:15,660 --> 00:24:20,730 My son doesn't want to live a comfortable life under the protection of the Zhao family. 332 00:24:20,730 --> 00:24:23,810 He insists on working and making a name for himself. 333 00:24:23,810 --> 00:24:27,620 Why must he make it hard on himself? He has a big tree like the General to rely on. 334 00:24:27,620 --> 00:24:33,720 But the Junwang just had to insist on being some City Patrol Censor. 335 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,310 Could it be he just wanted to experience how it is to be an official? 336 00:24:36,310 --> 00:24:42,080 But the position of a City Patrol Censor is so insignificant. 337 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:47,810 Even if the elder minister's wife herself looks down on a very minor City Patrol Censor, 338 00:24:47,810 --> 00:24:51,920 my son is still working for the Emperor, 339 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,910 not unlike old Minister Lu who is also above all the regular people. 340 00:24:56,910 --> 00:25:03,090 In my opinion, no matter if your position is high or low, you just have to do your best in fulfilling your duty. 341 00:25:03,090 --> 00:25:08,180 I heard that a few days ago, General Ye brought the Junwang to the brothel to drink wines and cause a scene. 342 00:25:08,180 --> 00:25:11,830 They even beat up Manager Lu of Changsheng Casino. 343 00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:17,180 Beat up and hurt Manager Lu? Is there really such a thing? 344 00:25:17,180 --> 00:25:22,090 They haven't even moved out yet, and they are already doing things behind your back? 345 00:25:22,090 --> 00:25:27,230 After all, this daughter-in-law of yours is an uncontrollable wild horse. 346 00:25:27,230 --> 00:25:32,510 Be careful that one day, the horse might trip and hurt your son. 347 00:25:32,510 --> 00:25:36,260 Look at what you're saying. The two of them are just in the prime of their youth, 348 00:25:36,260 --> 00:25:38,120 they can't help but make some mistakes. 349 00:25:38,120 --> 00:25:42,210 Mother-in-law, no need to worry. Drink your tea. 350 00:25:43,750 --> 00:25:50,460 Once General Ye has given birth to children and becomes a parent, she will also become more reserved. 351 00:25:50,460 --> 00:25:55,580 My two sons both have married and had concubines early on. 352 00:25:55,580 --> 00:26:00,070 But until now, not one piece of good news has reached me. (T/N: no pregnancies) 353 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:12,950 I heard that Prince Qi's Wife has returned to their vassal land in Jiangbei. 354 00:26:12,950 --> 00:26:17,390 Behind her back, Prince Qi has married another new concubine. 355 00:26:17,390 --> 00:26:21,520 Prince Qi's Consort is quite pitiful. She's the main wife, but she has no children. 356 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:26,090 This has made her situation at home very awkward. The vassal territory of His Majesty's older brother Prince Qi 357 00:26:26,090 --> 00:26:29,200 is located adjacent to the borders and is quite infertile land. 358 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:33,220 Jiyu has no family or friends over there. 359 00:26:33,220 --> 00:26:34,780 She is really lonely. 360 00:26:34,780 --> 00:26:38,960 That's right. Other than marrying the right person, a woman must be able to give birth, 361 00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:44,570 or else the family assets that you've helped managed all your life will just go to the concubines. 362 00:26:44,570 --> 00:26:50,250 I heard that Prince Qi's Consort once had a baby boy, but it unfortunately died. 363 00:26:50,250 --> 00:26:54,190 From then on, Prince Qi's Consort refused to give birth again. 364 00:26:54,190 --> 00:26:58,040 She's very foolish! Since time immemorial, a mother relies on her son to promote her status. 365 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:01,830 But she instead chose to have no descendants. 366 00:27:03,790 --> 00:27:06,540 Fellow madams, just continue chatting. The Princess Consort Dowager is tired. 367 00:27:06,540 --> 00:27:08,040 We'll take our leave now. 368 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,130 Princess Consort Dowager, take care. 369 00:27:13,270 --> 00:27:16,680 Zhao Yujin has been pampered by Princess Consort Dowager Zhao since he was little. 370 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,230 Until now, he hasn't had any manly ambitions. 371 00:27:19,230 --> 00:27:24,490 Now, he relied on the General's reputation to earn himself a Capital City Patrol Censor position. 372 00:27:24,490 --> 00:27:27,050 Haven't you heard people saying he's useless with no talent? 373 00:27:27,050 --> 00:27:29,550 A useless person with no talent will never be a respectable person. 374 00:27:29,550 --> 00:27:31,300 To make a long road short, 375 00:27:31,300 --> 00:27:35,320 the Junwang became useless because he got spoiled too much by his mother. 376 00:27:46,780 --> 00:27:49,420 Why did you ask me to come here this late at night? 377 00:27:49,420 --> 00:27:52,850 I saw that you're in a bad mood this morning and you didn't finish the meat. 378 00:27:52,850 --> 00:27:56,780 I then heated up the remaining meat. It will be done soon. Quickly sit. 379 00:28:03,540 --> 00:28:07,050 Is your dagger a creation by Expert Yu of the past dynasty? 380 00:28:07,050 --> 00:28:09,170 You have good eyesight. 381 00:28:09,170 --> 00:28:12,930 This dagger is called Chanyi. It can cut steel like it's mud. (T/N: cicada wing) 382 00:28:12,930 --> 00:28:19,160 When the Jianghu hero Changhao assassinated the eunuch Lu Huchen, this is the dagger that he used. 383 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,680 After I got this dagger, I used it to dig out the heart of 384 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:27,070 Yelu Dadan and bring it back as an offering to my Ye family ancestors. 385 00:28:27,070 --> 00:28:30,630 It is indeed a good dagger for killing people and digging out their hearts. 386 00:28:31,650 --> 00:28:34,790 My wife indeed has eaten people. 387 00:28:34,790 --> 00:28:36,860 Let me slice you some more meat. 388 00:28:38,370 --> 00:28:41,390 Don't worry. I've washed the dagger. 389 00:28:43,260 --> 00:28:47,770 Oh, right. Why did His Majesty ask you to see him today? 390 00:28:47,770 --> 00:28:54,170 Today, that weasel asked me there to confer me some official position called "Capital City Patrol Censor." 391 00:28:54,170 --> 00:28:56,830 Husband, you've entered the government now? 392 00:28:56,830 --> 00:28:59,010 Congratulations, congratulations! Remember to take good care of me from now on. 393 00:28:59,010 --> 00:29:00,430 Even you are mocking me? 394 00:29:00,430 --> 00:29:03,860 I wasn't. I really wasn't. 395 00:29:03,860 --> 00:29:09,040 But how come His Majesty suddenly thought of making you an official? 396 00:29:09,040 --> 00:29:14,090 His Majesty most likely gave me this position because of my hedonistic reputation. 397 00:29:14,090 --> 00:29:19,220 No one really likes to do a tiring job like this. If you're able to do it well, then that would be a surprise. 398 00:29:19,220 --> 00:29:21,870 If you can't, it's not frightening either. 399 00:29:21,870 --> 00:29:26,610 Husband, you're naturally smart. It's impossible that you won't be able to do it well. 400 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:34,160 If not because of my status, I fear that no one would be willing to bother with me. 401 00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:36,940 Your status is given to you at birth. 402 00:29:36,940 --> 00:29:40,350 Others couldn't even have that one even if they want to. 403 00:29:40,350 --> 00:29:45,290 His Majesty marrying me off to you is a blessing and he hopes that in the future, you could be my support. 404 00:29:45,290 --> 00:29:47,510 I'm going to be your support? 405 00:29:47,510 --> 00:29:48,820 What joke are you saying? 406 00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:51,170 I'm not. 407 00:29:51,170 --> 00:29:55,730 Since time immemorial, good subjects, generals, and ministers haven't ended well. 408 00:29:55,730 --> 00:29:57,500 His Majesty married me off to you, 409 00:29:57,500 --> 00:30:00,790 first, because he wants me to continue working for the government. 410 00:30:00,790 --> 00:30:05,590 Second, he wants the military power of the Ye Army to belong to the country. 411 00:30:05,590 --> 00:30:12,830 This way, my descendants will inherit the royal status of Nanping Junwang and not only the Ye family status. 412 00:30:12,830 --> 00:30:16,800 There I believe you. That sounds like what what weasel would do. 413 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,580 - Let me ask you a question. - Ask. 414 00:30:19,580 --> 00:30:23,920 Tell me. We had never met before. Why then did you choose to marry me? 415 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:29,320 Could it be that my character, taste in wine, and gambling habits, all three in one, are being sung as odes in Jianghu? 416 00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,040 Bullshit! 417 00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,330 - You can't call it bullshit! - Why can't I say it's bullshit? 418 00:30:33,330 --> 00:30:37,880 You are not a scoundrel. You're a hero. I'm the scoundrel. 419 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:40,870 You are the pillar of the government. I'm Song's garbage. 420 00:30:40,870 --> 00:30:43,760 After three years, when you divorce me, 421 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:48,980 you can choose a man that you love. You don't need to live your days with a local scoundrel like me anymore. 422 00:30:48,980 --> 00:30:51,520 Who told you that you're a local scoundrel? 423 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:56,240 Everyone is saying it! Those barbaric people in your military camp also think so, too. 424 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,790 What's funny about that? 425 00:31:03,220 --> 00:31:07,200 Look at you. You even call yourself a local ruffian? 426 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,610 Since the age of twelve, I've been running in an unrestrained manner on the borders. 427 00:31:11,610 --> 00:31:15,650 I tease beautiful women. Other than I having never hit a woman or a child, 428 00:31:15,650 --> 00:31:21,340 what bad things have I not done? Kind people would pray every day to wish that I die sooner. 429 00:31:21,340 --> 00:31:24,670 Even my father almost kicked me out of our clan. 430 00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:29,950 The absurd and evil things I've done when I was young are too many to be written down. 431 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:35,660 Let's not talk about it anymore.

You are making us dizzy. 456 00:33:47,560 --> 00:33:53,530 After thinking about it, against my conscience, I seemed to have come up with a few good traits of Ye Zhao. 457 00:33:53,530 --> 00:33:55,830 Tell us about them. 458 00:33:55,830 --> 00:34:00,430 For example, she doesn't get jealous. She won't be like the wife of "Gentleman in Attendance" Xu 459 00:34:00,430 --> 00:34:05,660 - who chased him around for five streets with a cooking knife just because he went to a brothel. - Right. What else? 460 00:34:05,660 --> 00:34:09,980 Also, my mother doesn't like Eldest Sister-in-law. 461 00:34:09,980 --> 00:34:14,670 She keeps feeling that her status is lowly and not noble-spirited. No matter how she tries to amuse her, it doesn't work. 462 00:34:14,670 --> 00:34:16,510 But since Ye Zhao joined the family, 463 00:34:16,510 --> 00:34:21,170 her good feelings towards Eldest Sister-in-law have sharply increased. She likes her the more she looks at her now. 464 00:34:21,170 --> 00:34:24,070 This is due to Ye Zhao's merit. 465 00:34:24,070 --> 00:34:26,020 What else? 466 00:34:26,020 --> 00:34:27,960 Also... 467 00:34:29,620 --> 00:34:32,650 Because of being a cripple, my older brother is quite depressed. 468 00:34:32,650 --> 00:34:37,440 But now when he gets home after work, he calls the servants into his room to narrate some funny thing about Ye Zhao. 469 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,460 After hearing the jokes, he can't stop laughing and his mood has improved. 470 00:34:40,460 --> 00:34:42,310 What else? 471 00:34:42,310 --> 00:34:47,460 Also, she always consults with me as to which restaurant has the best red wine, 472 00:34:47,460 --> 00:34:50,440 which restaurant has many beautiful girls. Those kinds of matters. 473 00:34:51,470 --> 00:34:55,920 After thinking about this, I couldn't find any problems with her personality. 474 00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,240 This is also okay? 475 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:04,090 Then you've become more generous about her. 476 00:35:04,090 --> 00:35:08,820 Junwang, as they say, life is full of helplessness. 477 00:35:08,820 --> 00:35:11,630 We can only slowly become magnanimous. 478 00:35:11,630 --> 00:35:13,650 Brother, I'll give you my support. 479 00:35:13,650 --> 00:35:16,710 From now on, you only need to be more patient and more shameless, 480 00:35:16,710 --> 00:35:21,150 withstand those rumors, keep the divorce letter well, and continue educating, reforming, and changing her. 481 00:35:21,150 --> 00:35:25,030 Perhaps, you will have a relatively normal life in the future. 482 00:35:25,030 --> 00:35:27,830 Yes, Brother Liu, you make sense. 483 00:35:27,830 --> 00:35:30,150 - I'm going to do what I say. - What are you doing? 484 00:35:30,150 --> 00:35:32,090 - I'm going home to transform my wife. - What? 485 00:35:33,040 --> 00:35:35,480 - Brother Yujin. - Brother Yujin. 486 00:35:44,890 --> 00:35:47,740 - Husband. - What are you doing? 487 00:35:47,740 --> 00:35:51,800 What are you doing?
