Original subtitles

Your wounds haven't healed up yet.

Don't move.

You saved me?

Yes.

I was hunting on the mountain,

you're still breathing when I found you

so I carried you here.

For saving me,

I will pay you back one day.

Don't move.

Where are you going?

My friends are waiting for me.

I have to return.

Don't move just yet.

Right now, you're not strong enough

to walk out of that door.

You should wait a bit more.

Wait until your wounds heal up first.

You.

If you want your wounds to heal quickly,

then drink your medicine, here.

Take this.

Thank you.

Thank me for what?

Lie down and rest.

Just focus on healing.

Father.

Father, I'm back, father.

Son.

Father.

How are you?

Was it difficult?

No.

Congratulations.

Congratulations on your return, second Young Master.

When Miss Min knows that you're back,

she will be overjoyed.

Her sacrifices weren't in vain.

That's true.

My sister has sacrificed a lot

to save me.

When she comes home,

I will definitely thank her.

Min Er has always been a good child.

She is the greatest savior

of our Chunyu family.

Everyone says that the daughter who is married

is just like a cup of water thrown out on the street.

So Miss Min

has already become a stranger so quickly.

Miss Yuan,

what do you mean by that?

Since the old days, the woman follows her husband after marriage.

My sister married Si Ma Chang An.

Of course she'd be a member of the Si Ma family.

Speaking harshly,

even when my sister dies,

on the tombstone will be

Si Ma - Chunyu.

Then of course she's not a member of the Chunyu family anymore.

I understand now.

In your eyes,

a daughter is

an object to be traded for profits.

Having such parents and brother, no wonder

Chunyu Min is so stubborn.

How pitiful of her.

What are you saying?

Girls are just some cheap objects.

You.

Jin Xia always speaks what she thinks,

she didn't mean any offense.

I hope you will not think it's strange.

What rights do you have to hit me?

I will beat you up.

So many things have happened recently.

Uncle and Aunt must

need their peace.

We will leave tomorrow.

We won't bother you anymore.

If you need anything,

you can always come to me.

Sir, don't you think that they went too far?

Since the second Young Master came back,

everyone seems to have forgotten Chunyu Min.

Sacrificed the daughter for the son.

How can they sleep in peace?

Especially Chunyu Qi.

He looks down on women,

I just want to beat him up.

You can't just hit people like that.

Don't forget.

You're a bailiff,

not just some righteous person that helps everyone in need.

I was wrong.

Where?

I was rude.

I was too angry,

I caused Sir embarrassment.

I will be more careful in the future.

If I want to hit someone,

I will wait until night,

and secretly deal with them.

We're leaving the Chunyu Mansion

not because of you,

we've been staying here for a while.

We don't need to hide our identities anymore.

If we keep staying here,

they might be dragged into trouble.

Sir, you don't need to explain.

I understand.

You were so angry for Chunyu Min,

don't you hate her?

I was poor,

but my mother was good to me.

If some bad guy came and forced me to marry him,

my mother would rather slam her head into the wall and die

than marry me away.

So,

I agree with her.

You're truly a forgiving person.

I can't take that.

Even though I don't hate her,

but I will remember this grudge.

Requite evil with justice, requite good with good.

That's my motto to live by.

Alright.

Then let's pack up.

We'll leave tomorrow.

Sir.

Sir.

I have investigated

the two women that Sir Yan had married.

They both have one thing in common.

They're related to a piece of land.

And this piece

is near the Chunyu family's hippodrome.

Let me go there and see.

I will, too.

I didn't expect that the trafficker died like that.

It's Heaven's will.

Now it seems that

we can't know for sure

whether my niece is dead or alive.

Brother Yang,

aside from the trafficker,

is there no other clue?

No.

It's OK.

It's still possible.

How about this,

after dealing with the problem

about brother Yang's son, Yang Yue,

we will look for more clues, alright?

I don't know what Yang Yue and the others have gone through.

Won't we know when we meet them later?

Ling Er.

You're a special person now.

This trip,

it'd be better to stay low key.

Let's look for a place to rest first.

Then we will go listen around.

What do you think?

I heard that

they're at the Chunyu Mansion in Hangzhou.

How about

we go straight there?

Let's do as brother Yang says.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Quick.

Hurry up.

Be careful.

Carry them over here.

Hurry up.

Work quickly.

Hurry up.

This is the land contract.

To the west of the hippodrome is the Chunyu family.

The childe has planned this for a long time.

Do not make any mistakes.

Or else...

That tall man and that short man.

I saw them at Si Ma Mansion.

They said that this piece of land is extremely important.

Yan Shi Fan has planned this for years.

Hurry up.

Sir.

What are they transporting?

this Jiangnan area

is the Eastern Han's colony.

They used to mine tin,

their metallurgical engineering was advance.

This must be a mineral vein.

Mineral vein?

If it is a mineral vein,

then the profit will be incalculable.

Work quickly.

Yes, sir.

My childe.

My childe.

Yan Shi Fan.

Not bad.

The ore coming from here,

from color to quality,

are better than everywhere else.

Good.

My childe.

The springs refined from the tin here

are even more delicate and elastic than before.

These are the finished products?

Yes.

Since we haven't been able to exploit much,

we can only make this many.

Yan Feng.

My childe.

Hire more workers.

Exploit more.

Even the iron mine we found before,

the production must increase.

Yes, my childe.

I will tell them.

Sell those first.

Yes.

Load the products on the carts. Hurry up.

Work quickly.

Hurry up.

Yes sir.

Hurry up.

Go.

Alright, I'll see you off here.

Be careful on the way.

Yes.

Go.

Sir.

Who are you?

You aren't asking me,

I'm asking you.

What is inside that cave?

If you don't talk, I'll kill you.

I'll talk.

It's a mine on one side

and a metallurgical factory on the other.

Spring refining?

Yes.

What else do you know?

Talk.

My ancestors

mined tin for the Court.

My ancestors had worked in the mines for years,

so they were very adept at finding mines.

A few years ago, Childe Si Ma forced me

to find him the mineral veins.

Childe Si Ma?

So you still haven't known...

There are mineral veins here,

then why doesn't the Court know?

Mineral veins are not easy to find.

Some are deep.

Even if you can dig into it, you can't distinguish them.

If it hadn't been for my ancestors

who frequently worked in mines,

gained so much experience,

and figured out a way to find the veins,

then we wouldn't have found it.

However, even though there are a lot of tin down there,

it was divided by the mountain

into East, West, and South.

I know why Yan...

I know why Si Ma Chang An

married those women.

Because they'd have

dowries.

And in their dowries,

there's a part of the tin mine.

This mineral vein can't be exploited privately,

especially the tin mine.

If it was discovered,

everyone will be beheaded.

Moreover,

the families who own those 3 pieces of land are quite powerful.

So no one can seize it by force

or buy it.

So he thought of using marriages

as a cover?

He spent years

to assemble these pieces of land, didn't he?

Yes.

He's too daring.

He dared to mine tin so freely.

Take him back.

Yes, sir.

Assistant Commissioner Lu.

You're really brave.

Such a deserted

and heavily guarded place,

how did you get in here?

I was investigating as ordered.

But unexpectedly,

I met Mr. Yan here.

Unexpectedly?

Are you coaxing ghosts?

You two sat on the mountain,

spied on me.

I had quickly noticed.

A clean hand wants no washing.

Then I'd like to ask you

what crime did I commit that

the Imperial Guards and the Imperial Police Department

has to investigate together?

Are you still pretending?

You.

What?

Miss, now you're meeting me again,

why are you so hostile?

I remember

when you wore that red wedding dress,

lied on my wedding bed.

That pitiful appearance

was truly...

I loved that feeling.

Stop talking.

You shameless bastard.

Why are you scolding others now?

Alright, I won't talk anymore

to avoid angering you.

If Sir Yan hasn't done anything bad,

then can we leave now?

Alright.

Yan Feng.

See Assistant Commissioner Lu off.

Yes, sir.

My childe, I didn't say anything.

Good.

Good.

Sir.

Yan Shi Fan seems to know that

we know he is secretly mining.

If we want to investigate later,

it will be difficult.

I know.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking

in the future, such dangerous tasks like this,

I can't bring you along.

- Bailiff Yang. | - Senior sister.

- Prior Shang Guan. | - Senior sister.

- Prior Shang Guan. | - Senior sister.

Bailiff Yang.

- Bailiff Yang. | - Senior sister.

Prior Shang Guan.

Bailiff Yang.

Prior.

- Prior is over there. | - Senior sister.

Prior, prior.

- Senior sister. | - Prior.

- Senior sister. | - Prior. Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Senior sister.

Thank God, we've finally found you.

How are you?

Are you hurt?

Where's Yang Yue?

Yang Yue, he is...

What?

Senior sister.

Are you alright?

Then you're saying that

Yang Yue and Dong Qi Sheng fell off the cliff,

you couldn't find his body.

If you couldn't find his body,

maybe he's still alive.

Senior sister, you look so haggard.

Let me take you back to Wu An Gang.

I will tell others to keep looking.

Let's go.

Come on.

Slowly.

Qi Er, eat, come on son.

Eat some more.

Father, please eat, too.

Eat some more.

Look at you, you're so thin.

- Yes. | - It must have been tiring.

Eat some more.

Father.

Mother.

Brother.

My poor daughter.

Why didn't you tell me you're coming back?

Dongpo meat.

Eight Treasure congee.

Longjing shrimp.

West Lake Fish With Vinegar Sauce.

Osmanthus and chestnut soup.

Such a delicious meal.

I have thought that I married Sir Yan...

Mistress.

We should return early.

I have thought that I married Si Ma Chang An,

everyone at home

must have been worried.

You unfilial girl, what are you saying?

Father, what is this?

How can you

call me unfilial?

Sister.

Look, our parents are old,

their bodies are weak.

You should watch your words.

To avoid angering our father.

It was your fault.

How obedient of you, brother.

Before, I didn't know that

you are skilled in debate.

For you, I

have sacrificed

my whole life.

In the future, when you see me,

you should think about,

for you,

for the Chunyu family, how much I have sacrificed.

What are you doing?

I'm telling you, you can't take these off yet.

If you're careless, your wounds might get infected.

Your face will be ruined.

Please...

Please tell me.

What are the wounds on my face like?

Are they serious? Will they heal?

Before they completely heal up,

no one can say for sure.

But I'm telling you,

if you keep struggling like that,

your wounds will never heal.

No matter how good the doctor is, how good the medicine is,

they will be all useless.

Alright.

Come eat.

Come in.

Senior sister, you haven't eaten for a day.

I asked them to make you porridge.

Please eat it while it's still hot.

Senior sister, please be assured.

Our brothers are all looking for him.

Yang Yue is missing,

have anyone told Jin Xia that?

Not yet.

I'm afraid that Jin Xia will be worried,

so I haven't told her.

You should tell her now.

Maybe she can use her tracking technique

to find him quickly.

Alright.

Then I will tell her tomorrow.

I'll see if she can do anything.

How bothersome.

Now,

Lu Yi knows that I'm mining,

he will report to the Emperor.

I will assign someone to stop his letter immediately.

The letters between Lu Yi and the emperor

follow a secret path.

How can you stop it?

Go.

Find someone

to replace Si Ma Chang An.

Destroy any evidence of

my appearance.

Don't leave any trace.

Also,

notice Zhai Lan Ye.

Tell her to deal with

the problem at the mine.

Yes, my childe.

My childe.

When Chunyu Min returned home to visit her mother,

she might have revealed your identity.

I'm afraid that the people at Chunyu Mansion

might get a hold over you.

Should I...

Just leave them.

It won't be interesting anymore if you kill them all.

Yes, my childe.

Sir.

This time, Yan Shi Fan won't leave us alone.

Something must be revealed sooner or later.

Even if we didn't discover his secret,

he'd still not leave us alone.

Can it be that you already

have a way to deal with Yan Shi Fan?

Not Yan Shi Fan,

I'm just going to report to the Court about

Si Ma Chang An's unauthorized mining to make springs.

But the fact that

Yan Shi Fan and Si Ma Chang An

are one person,

we have no evidence.

We can't expose them.

We do have evidence.

I can testify.

No, you can't be involved.

I can't let you get into danger.

Aren't you also in danger?

I'm not scared.

I will face it with you.

If you stay with me,

it will only drag me down.

If I face it alone,

it will be much easier.

Then please let me drag you down.

What?

Now you won't listen to my orders anymore?

You should be obedient.

In the future, you have to

listen to everything I say.

Move aside. Move aside.

Move aside.

Stop.

Freeze.

- Officers. What's wrong? | - Freeze.

Obey. Don't talk nonsense.

Obey.

Hurry up, turn back.

What happened?

Husband and wife are birds in the same forest.

But when tragedy strikes, each is on their own.

My dear wife.

Your husband

has just got into trouble,

you've already

prepared to leave him behind and run far away?

You.

Please spare me.

I don't know anything.

Your identity,

I will never reveal them.

Of course I believe that you won't dare to.

But after today,

in Hangzhou,

there will be no Si Ma Chang An anymore.

That's a gift from Sir Lu Yi.

You're his cousin.

Then you tell me,

how should I treat you?

Wait, wait.

My childe.

I can help you,

as long as you don't kill me.

Alright.

Then tell me.

I heard that

whoever offends you

are all not easily forgiven.

If you let me live,

I will be your loyal servant.

Help you deal with Lu Yi.

Just an insignificant Imperial Guard.

If it's not because I want to keep some dignity

for his father, Lu Ting,

I would have killed him a long time ago.

Do I need you to help me deal with him?

Lu Yi.

If it's truly as easy as you said,

then you

would still be in the Ma Mansion right now,

pretending to be a weirdo having bad luck with wives.

Good, good.

Keep talking.

Even if you

can easily kill Lu Yi,

are you truly satisfied with

letting them off that easily?

That's right.

Direct killing. Simple and crude.

I truly dislike that.

It's not my style.

If I can find a way

to steal the most important thing to him away,

make him suffer for life,

that's my style.

You mean...

Yuan Jin Xia?

You're truly the one that has slept with me.

We are of the same mind.

Alright.

I will give you this chance.

However, before that,

I have to test you first.

My childe.

What do you want to do?

Just come inside and you'll know.

Let's go.

Min Er.

My lady.

My childe.

At that time, they were at the scene.

I have thought that I married Sir Yan...

Mistress.

We should return early.

You.

Who are you?

What is this?

Your daughter angered me.

Tell me, what should I do now?

She is yours now.

Do whatever you want.

Did you hear him?

Your father said

I can do whatever I want.

Tell me, what should I do then?

Didn't you say that

you wanted me to let you live

so you could deal with Lu Yi?

Come on.

Come on. Hold this.

Take it.

Let me see how brave you are.

Alright?

- Min Er. | - Sister. Please don't.

Her.

Come on.

Kill her.

My lady, please don't.

My lady.

Please don't.

My lady, please don't.

My lady, please don't kill me.

Go.

My lady, please don't kill me.

I'm Yuan Yang, the maid who always stays by your side.

Don't kill me.

Useless.

You just need some guts.

Tell me then.

What good is it for me to keep you by my side?

My lady.

Please don't.

My lady, I'm begging you.

Don't, sister.

Don't kill me.

Hurry up and do it.

My lady, I'm begging you.

My lady, don't kill me.

Help her.

Please don't, I don't want to.

My lady.

It's not me.

I didn't kill her.

You killed her.

We all saw it.

It's not.

You do have guts, after all.

Come on, stand up.

Let me see.

Who are we killing next?

I don't want to.

Hold this.

Come on.

- Him? | - No.

Sister.

No.

No.

Sister, I was wrong.

Please don't do this to me.

Sister, I was wrong.

I was wrong.

Sister, I was wrong.

My childe.

Even though they are heartless to me,

but I still have the Chunyu blood inside me.

I can't kill my family, my childe.

My childe, I'm begging you.

Please spare them.

You can tell me to do whatever, my childe.

Such touching words.

Alright.

I will let you be a filial daughter.

How about this?

If you kill yourself here today,

I will spare your family.

One live for three.

It's a great deal.

No.

No.

I can't die, I don't want to die.

- You don't want to die? | - Min Er.

Min Er, I beg you.

Please keep Qi Er alive.

So he can retain the Chunyu family.

Sister.

I.

I will die for him.

Don't, father.

Stop him.

Father.

- Master. | - Father.

- Master. | - Father.

Master.

Master.

Help.

Help.

Father.

- Master. | - Father.

- Master. | - Father.

Don't, I don't want to die.

You brutes!

You won't rest in peace.

Qi Er.

I beg you, please spare my mother.

Don't.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Good.

Come on, stand up.

Very good.

I like smart and obedient women.

You have to know that

because your big brother Lu Yi

wants to save Yuan Jin Xia,

he doesn't want to save you.

You should hate him.

Right?

He caused everything.

Moreover, you have to remember that

only by following me

can you deal with Lu Yi.

Relieve the hatred inside you.

From now on, you have to be obedient.

Or else,

this will be your end, too.

Yan Feng, deal with them.

Yes.

What did you find out?

The quality of this spring we found

was several times stronger than the pistol in your hand.

This proves that

the quality of the iron in the mine

is abnormal.

You mean...

If the iron from this mine is used to make

the components of firearms,

then those firearms will

be several times more powerful.

Illegal mining is one thing.

Secretly making weapons is a crime punishable by nine familial exterminations.

How dare Yan Shi Fan do that?

Don't forget,

he is Xiao Ge Lao.

What wouldn't he dare to do?

As long as it doesn't cause problems for the Court,

the Emperor will never know.

That's right.

Aside from the Emperor,

no one is not afraid of the Yan family.

Even your Lu family

has to partially respect him.

Sir.

Tell me, if we sell this to

the Divine Engine Division,

will we be rich?

In your eyes,

aside from money,

is there anything else?

Jin Xia.

Jin Xia.

I need to tell you something.

But after hearing it, you must not be worried.

What's wrong?

We found our senior sister.

Really?

That's great.

However...

What's wrong?

However, Yang Yue fell off a cliff,

we haven't found him yet.

What?

Where is that cliff?

Take me there.

Let's go.

Sir.

It's bad.

What happened?

Something happened to the Chunyu family.

Something happened?

How cruel.

Who did this?

Sir.

I have investigated,

no one in the Chunyu Mansion is alive.

Buy some good coffins,

give them a funeral.

I will do it right away.

Wait.

Where's Min Er?

The Si Ma Mansion is being searched right now.

Assign people to look for Min Er.

Tell him the situation at Chunyu Mansion.

Yer, sir.

We've been looking for so long,

why didn't we find anything?

Can it be that Yang Yue is not here?

Xie Xiao.

When did Yang Yue fall off the cliff?

A few days ago.

Then why didn't you tell me earlier?

I was afraid that you'd worry.

I hope we can find some clues.

If sister Shang Guan said that

Da Yang fell off a cliff,

unless he disappeared into thin air,

then he must be near.

But we've been looking for so long.

No matter what happened,

there must be some traces.

Did you find something?

This is a man's footprint.

This shoe is a bit larger than normal shoes.

There are patterns under the sole.

The widths are uneven.

It seems that

the sole is crudely handmade.

From the depth of this footprint,

this person must have been carrying something heavy.

You mean...

If I'm not wrong,

Da Yang must have been saved by someone living close.

Let's go. We'll look for him.

Go.

Sir, Miss Min is here.

Min Er.

Big brother.

Big brother.

Why are you here?

Si Ma Mansion is being investigated.

With my current status,

I can't return to the Chunyu family.

Something happened to the Chunyu family.

What?

What happened to my family?

All the people in the Chunyu Mansion

were killed last night.

No.

This is not me.

This is not me.

No.

No.
