♫ Pushing open the windows and looking out, the scenery is breathtaking ♫

♫ The beauty of the spring flower is unforgettable ♫

♫ Lush and ruthless, but always fascinating ♫

♫ Getting drunk alone, I temporarily forget your scent ♫

♫ Beside the broken bridge, loneliness hid under the rocks ♫

♫ The liveliness belongs to the passerbys ♫

♫ Drowning my sorrows with wine, the prosperity can't hide the sorrow ♫

♫ I'm left with the deep feelings alone, missing you with nothing to rely on ♫

♫ I don't wish to admit that this was just a dream ♫

♫ I don't want to see the separation, everything for naught ♫

♫ Past midnight, I allow the sound of the flute to ponder upon the past ♫

♫ I'm drunk tonight, hugging the shadow to sleep ♫

[Cinderella Chef] [Episode 46]

Chunfeng? Chunfeng!

Mother. Mother!

Mother, we haven't seen each other in so many days. Is everything good? I think about you a lot.

I think about you a lot, too.

What's wrong? Are you getting better? Are you still having fevers?

Mother, I'm not sick.

It was an idea that Liuli came up with, so you would come out to meet me.

By the way, here is some money. Take it.

Liuli has prepared a carriage outside for you.

You are so dimwitted.

Mother... what's wrong?

Liuli hates me deep in her bones. This must be a trap.

Child, I m leaving and I will come to see you again when I have the time.

Mother, she is not like that!

Mother! Where are you going?

It's been a long time. Have you been well?

Older Brother...

Mother!

Liuli...

Chunfeng, I told you,

you were being fooled by your wife.

Liuli...

You really lied to me.

Chunfeng, Mother-in-Law almost killed His Highness and

the princess of the Ximin kingdom. If she walked away free,

you would be punished and so would our whole manor.

You can stop that nonsense!

Why are you grabbing me?

You know why perfectly well.

Arrest her!

Older Brother! Older Brother!

I'm begging you to let her go.

She did make mistakes, but she is our mother!

Chunfeng... get up!

Don't beg him! I lost today.

But my son can't lose, get up!

Older Brother, I'm begging you!

Xia Older Sister, when you killed my mother and my teacher,

you should have known this day would come.

Take her down!

Wait!

Son, don't cry. Listen to me.

This time, I don't think I can come back.

No... No...

You listen to me! I have had a terrible life.

Except for you.

You are my gift from the gods.

Don't cry... Don't cry in front of these people who bullied us.

You know if there is karma

and retribution for sin, I have paid them all.

Mother... No...

Stop crying!

Mother... Mother...

Mother... Mother! Mother!

Mother...

Mother... Older Brother, I'm begging you.

Older Brother, I'm begging you.

Don't...

Chunfeng... I'm sorry.

No...

No!

Chunfeng, get up first.

You lied to me!

Chunfeng...

Chunfeng...

What should we do?

I went to Prince Yu's manor twice and he kicked me out.

In the old times, people would visit a cottage three times to see the wise man.

You, General, have only visited twice, that's not too much.

What do you mean by that?

Now, as time goes by, world affairs also change.

If I were Prince Yu, I might want to be on a high horse for a couple of days.

Prince Yu has only been back for a few days. He is not well grounded yet. One more friend

is much better than one more enemy.

Will he still take me as a friend?

As long as you have chips on the gaming table.

An old enemy can be today's friend.

Aren't all the games played in the Imperial Court like this?

You are really smart.

I didn't think of the changes beforehand.

I should ask for your forgiveness.

You are right.

Is Chunfeng all right?

Rest assured, he is asleep now.

I used force to open his mouth and feed him some food before he slept.

I owe him a lot.

It's my fault.

You only received my message and did your job as you should.

Your relationship with Madame...

You know, my name was Zhaodi.

I was only a servant girl but Madame was nice to me.

Back in those days, she made me frame you a couple of times.

Even though I didn't want to, I had to.

Me helping you catch her is sort of atonement.

If you think I did it for myself, that's fine, too.

I didn't mean that.

Sometimes I wonder if we had never met Madame

or Ye Jinxuan, would we be together?

Princess...

Don't worry.

By the time I became the Princess, you'd already been taken to the Marquis's house.

That time when I saw you, it was like I saw the other me.

From that day, I always dreamed of being with you.

I really thought you'd be the one to know me.

But I realize now that

a dream is just a dream.

Actually, Chunfeng was obsessed with you.

I hope you can look back in time.

You two will be happy together.

I'm sure.

He loves me like a fool.

To be with someone who loves me,

much more than I love him,

I will be happy. Right?

Yes.

But this time, Chunfeng is devastated, I hope you can comfort him more.

I will.

The wound will heal no matter how deep it is.

You've changed a lot.

Have I?

Is it that I changed...

or you never knew the real me?

Or you haven't even wanted to know?

Forget about it, please take care.

I, He Lianxuan, am humbly here to see you. [Prince Yu's Manor]

Rise.

Congratulations, Your Highness, you've recovered your crown!

I asked my staff to buy some furniture on the southern coast.

It should arrive in a few days. I hope you will happily accept them.

I will accept them.

But General, when I lost my power,

you shut your door against Meng Yun. I still remember that.

Now you're coming here to ingratiate yourself.

General, don't you feel embarrassed?

Your Highness is correct.

But back then His Majesty was so angry,

I had to keep a distance.

You had to...

General, you are always so ruthless in abiding by the law.

You may go.

Your Highness!

I have to speak up for the general.

Actually, even while the general was serving by Zheng Mingxie's side, he followed your matter very closely.

He always looked for news of you and hoped to see you return.

Like when you and Young Master Xia were trying to escape the trap.

And when Imperial Tutor Yang broke into the palace.

The General always knew, but he never told you.

Oh, then you did this?

Come. Come here, come here.

Oh my, General...

This is good, so good.

The General has someone who is good at reading the situation, that's nice.

But I think this kind of person, will only share the good times with you.

He won't stand by your side when you have times of trouble.

Besides these kinds of schemes, are not really skills.

Yes, Your Highness, you are right.

Peng Wu!

You are only a lowly peasant, how dare you call His Highness's name

and interrupt his words!

Please forgive me! I shouldn't have said all that.

You shouldn't have?

Peng Wu, whether you say something wrong

or you do something wrong, you should pay for your mistakes.

General, you mean...

General... You...

You are the one who said we need enough chips to turn the gaming table.

You are that chip.

I wasted so much time helping you plan...

You know nothing about planning!

You are only a thief from the Black Wind Fortress. You've lied to superiors and minions; there is nothing you wouldn't do.

If it wasn't for you alienating me from His Highness,

we wouldn't have had so many grudges today!

People like you should die.

Your Highness, I have dealt with my subordinate.

I hope you can forget my mistakes and give me a second chance.

The little man was pathetic in the end.

He really thought

his ruthlessness and cruelty

would help him get what he wanted.

But that's not true.

Real friends will not betray each other no matter what.

If one doesn't know how friendship works,

then someday the person will be betrayed.

General, am I right?

I'll humbly remember your words.

Sweet and sour fish, Wensi tofu and

your favorite vegetables. Are you pleased?

I'm digging in.

It's as good as before.

You can eat as much as you want.

When we finish eating, let's go visit Chunfeng.

He was in a daze and his eyes were puffy.

I want to see him, too, but I'm afraid he won't see me.

You are right, he didn't do anything.

But in the end, he was hurt the most.

I hope Sister-in-Law can help him move on.

What? You don't even dare to call her name?

What are you saying?

Nothing.

I think you want to say something.

It's nothing.

It's just those servant girls... they saw you with Sister-in-Law at the garden,

in the middle of the night, acting mysteriously. So, of course, there will be gossip.

I didn't think much of it.

It's so sour.

Is it? Let me taste it.

It's all right. You said everything was tasty.

I mean the jealousy (vinegar) here is so sour.

You... Xia Chunyu.

You--

Yao Yao, I went to talk to her purely on behalf of Chunfeng.

I know. Now--

Now you should be caring more about him.

But why does it have to be at midnight?

I know you don't want me to be jealous, but I don't easily envy other people anyway.

Of course, you don't but you were still unhappy.

I wasn't.

Actually, the Princess's life is very sad.

She told me a few days ago,

that she'd figured out the past is truly the past.

She's beginning to see how great Chunfeng is.

Besides she is in love with Chunfeng now.

It's nice that she really thinks so.

Relationships are like that, you have to meet someone wrong, then you'll know when it's the right one.

You said this... because I'm the wrong guy?

I didn't mean us.

And you say I get jealous, you are much more jealous than me.

Yao Yao, may I ask you for a favor?

Say it.

Actually, I know the Princess did a lot of bad things to you.

But she is a new person now.

And I do owe them a lot.

So I hope you can be generous

and treat her as our family.

No way!

Yao Yao...

Okay, okay, I never thought of her as an outsider. There are no lingering bad feelings.

You can rest assured now.

You are my best love.

Eww... that's so cheesy.

Come here, give me a kiss.

What? What are you doing?

- What's up with you? - You just had fish.

I can smell the fish on your breath.

- Don't come near me. - It's the fish you made.

Don't come over here! No! No!

Come here!

You are here.

You knew I would come here?

I know you.

Your whole life, every step you took

was within my calculations.

Yes.

You sure can calculate well.

But after calculating for your whole life,

did you think that you would have become trapped in here?

My whole life is done.

What about you?

Have you thought of your own ending yet, Zhaodi?

Zhaodi?

That slap, I dreamed of it for so long.

Zhaodi.

There is no more Zhaodi in this world.

You are such a peasant.

So what if I am?

Still, up to this day, you want to use that record to threaten me?

I'm a dying woman.

Before I go, I want to find some company.

That's not so bad.

Madame, it's not like in the old days.

If it weren't for your relationship with your son,

I would never have caught you so easily.

If you stab me, then the person

who bleeds is your son. Do you want to do that?

Madame, don't forget.

I lied about my birth date, that's a crime of lying to the Emperor.

The entire family, roots and all, will be killed.

You are sad? Angry?

Who is the one who pushed me to marry Xia Chunfeng?

This is only karma.

Madame,

for old time's sake, I've prepared you some very fine wine.

So you can drink and forget everything.

His Majesty hasn't decided yet.

Why are you so eager?

Yes. I want you to die in front of me.

So many years I've lived under your shadow.

I have no dignity left.

It is you who ruined the first half of my life.

If you can drink this, maybe the family will be spared the curse.

If not, Xia Zhuofeng and Xia Chunfeng,

the two men you love the most in your life,

will have you being a drag on their life forever.

What are you laughing at?

You are so right, but there's one thing you never thought of.

You must have turned my whole room upside down by now.

Tell me. Did you find the record?

Do you want to know where it is?

It's in the hands of the woman you hate the most.

She is your rival in love and she will be the mistress of the Marquis's manor!

What? Did you think that when I died you would live in peace?

You still want to let her live?

I told you, you don't have the right to negotiate anything.

As long as you live, you have to fight every day for your very life!

You will never be in peace!

Tell me you are lying! You are lying!

You tell me!

Love causes one to become confused and to lose oneself.

You won't dodge this bullet.

I will wait for you in hell.

You lunatic!

Why wouldn't you let me live at your death?

Why? Why!

Little Teacher.

Little Teacher, have you seen Marquis Xia?

We have never heard of any marquis.

Teacher, have you ever seen Marquis Xia?

I am his son.

I heard he is resting in this temple.

I want to bring him back.

Marquis Xia of Jing'an province... isn't that you?

Father.

Amitābha.

My name is Wang Chen.

Why?

Why did you do this?

Everything starts in vain

and ends in vain.

You shouldn't be so attached.

If you've really let go, why won't you tell the truth?

I have sinned so much in my life.

Someone died for me.

Someone went to prison for me.

And someone lost their freedom because of me.

I had so much guilt inside,

I was thinking about killing myself.

But it was so sad, I still had an attachment to this world.

I thought about it deeply.

This temple is where I belong.

Light the oil lamps and read ancient books, that's how my life should end.

You are blaming me.

Blaming me for breaking up our family?

I don't blame anyone

but myself.

If back in those days, I could have controlled myself

and not fallen in love with Haning,

Haning would be alive.

And when she finally died, I would be able to live by my words and die with her.

I also wouldn't have ruined Madame's life. And if...

There aren't so many "ifs!"

All right, if you do feel guilty

you should come back and take responsibility!

Before I shaved my head to became a monk,

I asked the Emperor to bestow on you

my position.

From that day, the Marquis of Jing'an was not me, it is you.

All the responsibilities

are on your shoulders now.

You know

I didn't even want to be the son of a marquis.

Don't you think this is being too selfish?

I was selfish for my whole life, it's not just this.

That handsome General Xia Zhuofeng

died twenty years ago on the battlefield.

The rest was just a shell of his.

Amitābha.

Father!

[Residence of Marquis Jing'an]

How did it go?

He won't come back.

Why?

Because Madame's case involved so many people.

My father did this

to save the whole household and to save me.

Stupid Donkey.

Many years ago, there was a terrible drought.

To save the people, Mingyu used his personal military funds

and my father reported it.

I hated my father for that.

Back then, I didn't want to be in this house for one more second.

So, you asked Prince Yu to fake your death and escaped.

You became Sir Fuyi.

Yes.

So many years, we've had this misunderstanding.

Because I find out later,

that he did it because the Emperor told him to.

His Majesty was angry that Mingyu ruined his plans.

He had wanted to use the drought

to eliminate the allies of Shilin's Xie Wanchou.

Perhaps that was the last resort that the Marquis talked about.

Yao Yao, my mother died so early

and my father has become a monk.

Now you are my closet family member.

Stupid Donkey, you are my closest family member

in this world, too.

From now on you are the new Marquis of Jing'an.

Our Emperor...

is so suspicious and mean, I'm really worried.

But it's okay, we can just quit.

We can go and travel the world.

That's what you said. We'll roam to the ends of the world.

Those words can lead to your death.

So what! With you, I'm not afraid of death.

Why when you say things like this,

I don't believe any of it.

Anyway, as long as it keeps you laughing.

You see, no more frowning.

It's not handsome.

And the lips must lift to 45 degrees.

Now, laugh for me.

Good. Okay, my dear.

Xia Chunfeng, stop drinking.

Don't mind me.

If I don't, who will?

Your mother is dead.

The first seven days are past and you didn't even go see her once.

I know, you don't want to be even sadder when you see her.

Are you still angry with me?

You know how many things your mother did to me!

You did so many things also.

I know,

in your heart,

my brother means more to you.
