[Episode 7]

I owe Third Brother a life.

Today, I'll pay him back.

You can leave.

I'm sorry?

I'm sorry?

Once you come to hell with me, you can personally apologize

to my husband.

Sister-in-Law!

Third Brother!

Third Brother! Are you all right?

Bai Chongye, let me tell you.

There will be one day, you brothers

will kill one another.

The entire Black Wind Fortress will be eliminated.

Third Brother.

Husband...

I'm coming.

Eldest Brother, as I told you before, Black Wind should never have had a Third Master position.

You did all this for me.

Third Brother...

If I die, you have to stop the habit of thinking everything's about you.

- I can't stop that. - Eldest Brother...

- No... - Don't move!

You will die. You will die--

[Two days later]

- No... - Eldest Brother.

- Eldest Brother! - No!

It's you.

I dreamed of her.

Eldest Brother, don't take it too seriously. Jiang Yue's ashes

have been buried beside her husband.

Eldest Brother, wake up. It's time to take medicine.

You used a Tengyun Dart last time, didn't you?

That is the unique hidden weapon of Sir Fuyi. Why do you have it?

You are the real Sir Fuyi.

- Here. - You can just let the servants do this.

If you hadn't saved me, how would I have had this chance to serve you the medicine?

Able to kill a person every ten steps, not afraid of anything for thousands of miles,

leaves as soon as the task is finished, always keeping a low profile...

I still can't believe you are the real Sir Fuyi.

All of sudden, there is a kind of embarrassment hard to describe. Here, sit down.

Please take a seat.

I feel very happy to have an admirer like you.

Sometimes, I really don't know

if I should feel gratitude or hatred.

Some that hate me even promise to kill me after their death.

But then the gods send me Sir Fuyi to be by my side

and he became my third brother.

Brother, don't take Jiang Yue's words to heart.

Others expect that you and I will fight each other and will bring a detrimental disaster to Black Wind.

We won't do that. That day won't come.

Definitely.

By the way, Eldest Brother, why do you admire Sir Fuyi so much?

Nowadays, officials in the government are corrupt.

The strong bully the weak. Everyone just wants to protect themselves.

Although, I don't call myself a man of high morals,

I hope some heroic figure will save the people from their torture.

Do I sound silly explaining it this way?

Of course not. But I am afraid, I may disappoint you.

Why is that?

Sir Fuyi is not a god. Good or evil should not be decided by him.

Sometimes, there is no distinct line between good and evil.

That's right. My original reason for joining Black Wind Fortress was merely food and shelter.

Once I became the head of Black Wind, I started thinking.

Since the court cannot give me a utopia, I can make one by myself.

Everyone can have the life they desire.

But in the end...

Blood is all over my hands and I've been guilty of many crimes.

Eldest Brother.

I have come to mid-age now. If you do well,

Black Wind Fortress will eventually become yours.

Eldest Brother, why are you talking about this?

I am used to being free and I am not well qualified.

Qualifications are earned by oneself.

Now that Yongcui Pavillion is reopened, it still can't compare with the past.

If you can revitalize our business,

all the brothers will surely be loyal to you.

So, Third Brother, don't overthink.

I'm so furious!

Godfather, is it that Xia Chunyu again?

I just don't understand what's so great about him.

He merely knows some eloquent poems. Eldest Brother and I have risked our lives together.

Our bodies are full of wounds, yet that can't compete with the honeyed words of that rascal?

Congratulations, Godfather.

What is there to congratulate? Are you here to make me angry, too?

I'm not. Godfather, what I meant is this.

You used phrases like "eloquent poems" and "honeyed words" in the right way.

Really? Did I?

That's because you taught me well. Let's practice calligraphy.

[Righteousness]

There are too many strokes in this word.

The charm of calligraphy lies in the strokes and script.

Its origins are from hieroglyphs. Hence, it's rather complicated.

Enough, just let me get prepared.

Ah, Peng Wu, you are only five years younger than me.

Just call me older brother. Don't call me godfather.

How can I do that? My life belongs to you. You are like my parent.

Okay, good son. Teach me well then.

Once I become educated, I'll show that rascal.

His glory days are already about to be over.

Ever since that ghost ruckus at Yongcui Pavilion,

the business hasn't been good. If Yongcui Pavilion doesn't have any business,

Xia Chunyu cannot give any share of profits to Ye Binghuai.

Without those profits, Ye Binghuai will cause Xia Chunyu trouble.

And then, Eldest Master will not trust him as he does today.

But since he made that promise to Ye Binghuai, he must have some tricks up his sleeve.

Then we can just sabotage his plan.

What? What plan?

[Upright]

No Weibo, no wifi.

No moments of Wechat, no King of Glory.

No hope in life.

Come back. What attitude is that?

What is that in your hands? So sneaky. Show me!

Why are you acting so mysterious about a piece of paper?

Those who don't know may think this is a secret letter.

Nainai, this is not just any ordinary paper. It is called Shanxiteng Paper.

Third Master has been looking for Master Wuliang for a long time to no avail.

Finally, Miss Liu found these after a long search and asked me to deliver them here.

Miss Liu? Which Miss Liu?

Why haven't I heard of a Miss Liu in Black Wind Fortress?

Let me make a metaphor here. One wine kettle comes with three cups. Do you understand?

Yes. You, me, and Dumb Donkey. We three drink wine together.

I don't mean it like that. Third Master is brave and heroic,

so he is the wine kettle. But this doesn't mean you are the only cup.

Why beat around the bush? You're referring to Stupid Donkey's mistress. (literally means "Little Third")

Nainai, what is "little third"?

How many are me and my husband?

- Two. - Then what is the number of Miss Liu?

Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Ancient Modern Chef Team @Viki

Nainai.

I am not angry at all. It is just a mistress.

I don't plan to live with that stupid donkey forever. I don't need to tear off that mistress.

Won't you two be together for your whole life?

Just kidding, don't take it seriously.

I knew that you are not petty. That is your merit.

No wonder people say girls from rich families are very good.

No arguments nor fights and the world is peaceful.

Nainai, I have more work in the kitchen. Talk to you later.

Come back, my life is so boring. Call some handsome boys in here.

I want to play "Fight the Landlord!" (Chinese poker)

Fight who?

Dart.

What are you talking about? That is the ace. Do you know how to play?

Straight flush.

Did you just call two cards a straight flush? Do you know how to play?

What's wrong? Two cards can't make a straight flush? I think you're trying to pick a fight!

I think you're the one trying to pick a fight!

- What's wrong! - What's your problem?

- What do you want? - Don't pick fights.

Are you two doing this on purpose so that you can escape?

You two don't have any gambling ethics. You want to leave after winning some money? Sit back down.

Manager Shen, stay calm. We will win.

Nainai, Third Master will be back soon.

How does he have time to come back for dinner? Let's play another hand.

Let me ask you three. Between me and that Liu Yiyi, who is more beautiful?

- Of course, you. You are the most beautiful one! - Yes.

- You are more gorgeous. - You are more gorgeous.

Look at those fake faces. It's obvious you're not being sincere!

Do you all think she is more beautiful than me? Bad taste, bad choice!

You are just like your Third Master.

Let me tell you. Your Third Master is very girly.

Vegetarian, has OCD, (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder)

and needs to have everything organized. He doesn't know how to enjoy life.

How would a man like him have a mistress?

Don't call me Third Sister-in-Law ever again.

I feel ashamed when I'm called Third Sister-in-Law.

Why aren't you talking? Fourth.

Last chance. Tell me!

Who is more beautiful, between Liu Yiyi and me?

Well, I think...

Not discussing others behind their backs is beauty in my eyes.

Stupid Donkey, you are back.

- Look, you eavesdropped on me again. Seriously... - Stupid Donkey?

Third Brother, she called you a stupid donkey.

Didn't Eldest Brother tell you to offer help at Yongcui Pavillion when you're free?

Why are you all here? Move now.

Go, go. Hurry.

Why aren't you two going?

Third Brother, it is not that we don't want to go, but

- Third Sister-in-Law still owes us a lot of money. - Right.

What do you mean? You showed your cards first, otherwise, I would have won.

- But you didn't win, after all. - Right.

Okay, I accept that you won.

Stupid Donkey... pay them.

She doesn't have money.

Why should I pay?

You are my husband. Who else would I ask for money?

- I don't have money or a job. - You...

Think of a solution by yourself.

Just look at your Third Master. So petty.

He doesn't even have five taels of silver.

If you follow him, what kind of future can you expect?

Move now!

- Third Brother. - Third Brother.

Third Brother and Third Sister-in-Law, we are leaving now.

- You two can chat. - Misers!

Wait for me.

You disappointed me! I drew you each, one by one.

I'm technically your mother. But you didn't help me to earn any money.

- This paper... - After you learn to play poker, you will find that in your life

- nothing is more meaningful than playing poker. - These are the papers given to me by Yiyi.

These papers are given by Yiyi, so romantic!

Give it back to me! I drew that.

What are you doing? Who let you take my paper?

Give that to me. Give that to me.

My leg.

My feet hurt.

- You are pretending again. - Pretend what?

Was the previous snake incident fake? It even helped you.

It is you who pretended to faint and let me apply the medicine on you.

So this is how it feels to be hugged like a princess. So sweet.

Stupid Donkey, how can you just drop me like that?

You are too heavy; my arms almost broke.

Everybody, come look!

Third Master is a man like this.

I am married to a man like this.

Hey, be quiet.

- Come and see who is right. - All right, all right. Stop looking.

Come here and see. What should I do?

- Come here. - What can I do?

Come on.

You win.

Subbing and Timing brought to you by the Ancient Modern Chef Team @Viki

- Why are you crying? - Because it hurts so much.

Do you feel better?

If you didn't have a mistress,

you would probably be a good husband.

What mistress? Are you referring to Liu Yiyi?

See? You admitted it.

We have only been married for a few days. You are really too much.

Is she pretty? What's her zodiac sign and horoscope?

Based on the evolution of humans, I should be the prettiest in your era.

You are over-confident.

I don't care. Anyway, you are my husband. You are not allowed to see her again.

You don't have the right to control me.

Who says so? I'm your official wife.

I already told you this marriage is not by mutual consent.

But since we're in this situation, I will naturally take care of you and be responsible for you.

Other than that, don't even think of anything else.

That's not right. How can there be "mutual consent" in this era?

Don't they all have arranged marriages and only find out how each other look after the wedding ceremony?

And then starting the very next day, they love each other for a lifetime.

I don't want to fight with you again.

Are you dissatisfied with me? In which aspects?

Take a look. Look at my facial features.

I checked with the plastic surgeon. He said that I didn't need any work to be done.

I really don't understand what you are talking about,

but I need to let you know that you can stay with me, but don't interfere in my life.

Nonsense! I'm not a kitty or puppy. I'm not your pet.

We are a married couple. You should have real feelings for me.

- If you really like me, you can like only me-- - I will never like you.

What did you say?

I said... I will never like you.

Stop saying all that ridiculous nonsense, okay?

Also, stop with your imagination and stop trying to be a part my life.

Wait!

What now?

My head hurts.

Didn't you injure your leg?

Yes. Can't I have a headache now, too?

- Fine, I will get a physician for you. - No need.

Sing to me or play the flute.

- Musical entertainment is not allowed in Black Wind Fortress. - Sing to me then.

- I can't sing. - If you don't know how, I will teach you.

You are lying to me again, aren't you?

I had frequent headaches when I was young. I would be fine once my mom sang to me.

- You are pulling my leg, right? - I'm not. You just said that

you don't love me but you'll take care of me. Why are you leaving when I have a headache?

If I sing to you, will you behave and keep quiet?

Yes.

I'm now going to teach you my favorite song. Listen carefully.

Okay.

♫ Use half my life to watch the snowflakes fall ♫

♫ Then use half of my life's love to count the falling flower petals ♫

It's your turn.

♫ Use half my life to watch the snowflakes fall ♫

♫ Then use half of my life's love to count the falling flower petals ♫

♫ Your heart is the moon and enters the gentleman's embrace ♫

♫ Bustling in the two extremes of the world ♫

♫ The wind blows the flower off, but the flower leans onto the wind, as if trying to delay goodbye ♫

♫ A string, a pillar, a branch, a leaf, all in the years of youth ♫

♫ Forever is endless, who gets to experience forever? You are still in my heart ♫

- Third Master... - Song Qi. - I didn't see anything. Just continue.

We're not doing anything. Song Qi!

What happened?

What do you mean? You couldn't control your emotions.

Do you really not like me? You are dry wood

and you need me, a fiery flame, to light your fire!

Don't overthink. It's not possible between the two of us.

Also, hurry and return the taels of silver that you owe me.

And let's keep some distance from each other in the future.

It's another day.

What nice food is there?

Pig trotters soup? Trotters to nourish the legs?

It tastes horrible. But it's the thought that counts.

Stupid Donkey, not bad.

His mouth said no but his body was truthful.

Thumbs up to your thoughtfulness!

All right. Then, I'll make the best of this.

The Ye family delicacies.

Warmth to your stomach, warmth to your heart.

Hey, you are here.

I made all vegetarian dishes today. Try them.

Has your leg recovered?

No. Look.

It hurts when I stand up.

When I'm not here in the future, when you see cabbage, you will think of me.

When you see potato floss and sweet broad beans, you'll think of me.

In any case, when you see vegetables, you will think of me.

Wasn't your injury on your left leg?

No, it has always been the right leg.

You are already an adult and you are still full of lies.

Okay, you are honest. Your entire family is very honest. Okay?

My leg recovered yesterday. Actually, it wasn't that serious.

Seeing that you gave me pig trotters soup, I won't argue with you.

The pig trotters soup wasn't from me.

I know that men have a lot of pride.

When you like someone, you won't admit it. I will admit it then.

I didn't do it. I can swear to Heaven.

Come back here. What do you mean?

Taking advantage of me just because I like you.

There are many women who like me. None of them are like you.

What am I like?

You are incomprehensible and shameless.

One look and I can tell that your mother didn't teach you how to behave like a girl when you were young.

Who gives you the right to talk about my mom this way? Tell me then.

How should a mother teach her daughter?

Oh, yes. Wait for the man to come home every day. Wait for him from evening till daybreak.

Give up everything for the man.

Obediently act as the woman behind her husband for decades.

Do it until she's old? Do it till the man doesn't want her anymore?

Do it until she's on her deathbed, yet the man won't even visit her?

- Child, don't cry. - So pitiful.

- Stop crying, okay? - I miss my mom.

We like you very much. We will take you to town to play tomorrow. Okay?

Ye Jinxuan, I know that you have encountered a lot of events in the past.

But you can't use them to gain sympathy.

You always use tears as a pretense.

The next time you want to seduce a man, change your tricks.

Stupid donkey, stinky donkey, evil donkey!

You can't even differentiate between what's genuine and fake.

Why is business so bad?

Don't worry too much, it will get better eventually.

Third Master.

Owner Ding truly likes you a lot though.

What did he send you this time?

A human's face is like a madman.

What is that saying?

This is just nonsense.

He's uneducated, so he must have found a scholar on the street to write this

funny letter for him. He keeps trying to cater to your taste.

Are you sure you don't want to meet him?

I am not really actually going to stay in Nan'an City forever.

It hasn't been easy to get where I am now. I don't want to sacrifice all this for Ding Qi.

Sorry for that.

What are you saying sorry for?

I mean for failing to help you bring this Yongcui Pavilion back to life.

Otherwise, Bai Chongye would have trusted you more. But now...

This isn't your fault. The Yongcui Pavilion already had some serious damage and bad luck.

Furthermore, Sheng Wu used attractive offers and deals to poach people from us.

How about you go find Bai Chongye directly?

The methods that Sheng Wu is using...

Yongcui Pavillion has reopened, now offering free food and drinks!

Yongcui Pavillion has reopened, now offering free food and drinks!

So what!

- Don't leave in such a hurry. Don't leave! - Hold on, hold on, hold on!

Oh, you want us to hold on for what?

♫ Hey, hey, hey, hey, everybody here. Uh huh, uh huh. ♫

♫ Yeah. Put up both your hands, ♫

♫ Do it with me, put your hands up. Put your hands up, put your hands up! ♫

♫ Every neighbor, every friend, every passerby, come and don't miss this offer! ♫

♫ Yongcui Pavilion is reopening with free food and drink, ♫

♫ The first 50 clients will get food and drink. It's free, so it won't hurt you. ♫

♫ Yongcui Pavilion is now different from before, ♫

♫ it won't ever be a place just for men to have fun. ♫

♫ We will offer a monster carnival, special hotpot, and a Werewolves game! ♫

♫ All these new activities are waiting for you to start! All guests are treated equally! ♫

♫ The carnival is suitable for villagers of all ages to have fun! ♫

♫ The weather or time doesn't matter, it's all prepared for you! ♫

♫ Free, free, it's all for free! ♫

♫ Yes, you all heard it right, the first 50 clients get everything free! ♫

♫ Put your hands up! Put, put your hands up! ♫

♫ It's all free, free, free, free! It's all free! ♫

What's up?

Whoa! Yes! Yes! All right!

I'll go take a look.

All right! Good!

Yo, yo, yo, my fellow friends. Remember it's 50 people for free.

The people on the left, the right, the front, and the back are all your competitors!

If you don't take this opportunity, someone else will take it!

Is this real or not? Are you tricking or lying to us?

- Of course, this is real, why would it be fake? - Hey!

What are you doing?

Yongcui Pavillion's boss is right here, he'll make everyone happy!

What are you trying to do?

You have to give up something before you gain a profit, don't you know this principle?

Hurry, hurry, so many people are looking! Smile!

I will come. What delicious foods are there?

Okay, this man will be the first customer! Johnny, he's the first one!

- Who's the second one? - Me! Me!

- Okay, you're the second one! - Come inside.

Peter, Peter, the third, the fourth... Only 50 clients, there will only be 50 allowed!

Slow down, slow down. Please make a line!

- Welcome. Your Excellency is here?

- Here, come inside. - Welcome, please come inside!

I heard that Yongcui Pavilion's business was not doing well.

Doing business is my strength. I am here to show off my skills.

Oh, don't misunderstand. I'm not here to please you.

Since you don't like me, so much so that you'll even argue with me for five taels,

then I should plan for my future.

What are you making a plan for?

Since I don't have a lot of love, then I'll just need a lot of money instead.

From today on, I will be Yongcui Pavilion's CEO.

From every day's revenue, I request 30%.

What C and O?

You won't understand. Just listen to me, all right?

I guarantee that you will become rich and successful and your business will flourish.

Miss Ye.

Miss Ye, you are a rare client here, so I've prepared a few dishes for you.

Come with me.

So you are Liu Yiyi?

- I... - What Miss Ye?

Don't you know I'm this stupid donkey's wife? Call me Madame Xia.
