[I Will Never Let You Go]

25

[Episode 20]

26

That's right.

27

When we secretly took you back to Suzhou Prefecture,

28

Young Master Yun told me to tell you

29

that on every third day of the third month,

30

he will be waiting for you at the gazebo in the Xinglong Mountain

31

for three days.

32

I will go get the snake gallbladder. I will stop talking now.

33

I will start telling you stories once all eight gods are completed.

34

Miss, he likes you!

35

That's right, Xiaoxia.

36

On the day I was buried, no one came from the Prince Manor?

37

No.

38

Lady, did you hope that the Seventh Prince would come?

39

No.

40

- No, it's nothing.

- Hua Buqi, what were you expecting?

41

He doesn't know you're not his little sister.

42

In his public identity, he still hates you.

43

It's just normal if he doesn't come, right?

44

Perhaps, he came as the Lotus Robe Knight,

45

but he never showed himself.

46

No one knew, and neither did Xiaoxia.

47

Chen Yu, did you come that day?

48

Lady?

49

You faked your death in the capital.

50

You came back to life in Suzhou Prefecture.

51

No one in the capital knows where you are now.

52

Why don't you just cut yourself off from the past,

53

and start a new life here?

54

You're right.

55

I've already died once.

56

I shouldn't think about the past.

57

Let the past be buried with the old Hua Buqi.

58

I am now a granddaughter of the House of Zhu.

59

I can start a new life.

60

Lady, the carriage is ready.

61

Please return to Zhu Manor to start a new life.

62

Lady, this is Zhu Manor.

63

Please enter.

64

Head Butler Fu.

65

Lady, look! This used to be Young Master Jiu's room.

66

Ever since Young Master Jiu fought with the Old Master

67

and went alone to the capital, this room has became a restricted area in the manor.

68

But we got it cleaned for you!

69

Let me know if anything is missing.

70

I will get them for you. Also, you will stay here for now.

71

Zhu Fu and I will tell Old Master that you have returned.

72

Why aren't you taking me with you?

73

The Grand Master has a really odd temper!

74

He's still angry from his fight with Young Master Jiu!

75

Also, he... hasn't approved us bringing you back yet.

76

Huh?

77

You are the only ones who are enthusiastic?

78

Lady, don't worry! We have a way!

79

Just live here for now. Xiaoxia! Serve Lady well!

80

- Yes.

- Brother Fu,

81

let's go see Grand Master.

82

Lady, rest well.

83

We'll leave first.

84

Uncle Jiu, your old home is so nice!

85

If not for me,

86

you could have continued living in such a nice place.

87

You wouldn't have suffered so much.

88

Do you still have any respect for me?!

89

Are you treating me as being dead?!

90

During these years,

91

what have you two learned?

92

You've learned to do things before reporting it!

93

Who let you two bring that girl in?

94

Grand Master,

95

she is still your granddaughter.

96

She's the person that Young Master risked his life to protect.

97

Have my eyes gone blind?

98

Who allowed you two to make the decision

99

to arrange for her to enter the manor?

100

And who allowed you to arrange for some banquet to celebrate her returning to the family?

101

This early morning,

102

invitations have been sent all over the city!

103

You only kept it from me!

104

Are you trying to revolt?

105

Where is my food?

106

Hurry. Hurry.

107

The harder he scolds, the better chance of it becoming a reality.

108

His lips are harsh but his heart is soft.

109

He should be able to accept Lady.

110

So what if he doesn't accept her? The matter is already settled.

111

Are we supposed to throw the biological daughter

112

of Eldest Lady out?

113

Even adopting a nephew

114

is better than an illegitimate child!

115

Grand Master, what are you saying?

116

Isn't an illegitimate child still your child?

117

You really know a lot!

118

Only you know everything! Only you!

119

When you returned from the capital, why didn't you tell me about her?

120

You went to find Zhu Shou first,

121

discussed it with him, and then secretly brought her into the manor!

122

No, Grand Master.

123

If we told you, would your granddaughter be able to return?

124

Did you tell me? Did you tell me?

125

Grand Master!

126

We owe a lot to you.

127

I found Zhu's descendant; hence,

128

I decided on my own to bring Her Lady back.

129

- May Grand Master forgive me.

- You decided on your own?

130

I'm not dead yet!

131

Wh-Wh-Why did you spread the news?

132

Now, really great.

133

The invitations have all been sent!

134

Everyone knows about this acknowledgment feast now!

135

Grand Master, it has been set on

136

the fifteenth of the eighth month.

137

Are you people fools?

138

During these years, no such person existed in our family. Now suddenly, she appeared! Who would believe it?

139

Grand Master, it just depends on the way you say it!

140

We'll just say that it was Young Master's illegitimate daughter!

141

She was sick from the moment she was born and was treated outside.

142

Now she has recovered, so she was brought back here.

143

Won't House of Zhu then have an additional granddaughter?

144

I'd rather we have no more descendants

145

than take in such a granddaughter!

146

Grand Master!

147

Are you really willing to let the Lady continue wandering outside?

148

I heard her say

149

that when she was outside, she was begging for alms with Young Master!

150

She didn't have daily meals, and had to endure the starvation and bullying.

151

We don't want her to continue living like that!

152

Doesn't our House of Zhu only have her as the only descendant left?

153

Wasn't he happy to be a beggar out there?

154

Didn't he not regret it even in death?

155

Didn't he say even if he begged, he wouldn't beg from us?

156

Old Master! Before Young Master died, he told her

157

to return to Zhu Manor. Think about it.

158

He told her to look for Mr. Zhu. Isn't that you?

159

That's right.

160

In doing all these for her,

161

is it worth it?

162

- Yes!

- Yes!

163

The fifteenth of the eighth month

164

is not too far away.

165

That girl has always been begging outside.

166

Her body is weak.

167

Can she be shown to others?

168

Don't worry! She can!

169

Congratulations, Grand Master!

170

Bullshit congratulations!

171

I didn't agree to let her enter yet!

172

Fine! Fine! Take my food away and pour my tea on the flowers!

173

I'm telling you two!

174

If you mess up this matter on the fifteenth of the eighth month,

175

you two can get lost!

176

Yes. Yes. Get lost.

177

We will definitely get lost.

178

Push me back to my room.

179

You can leave.

180

- Yes.

- Yes.

181

You...! You...!

182

You hid for so many years!

183

What is that noise?

184

You even lost your life!

185

- Who is crying?

- It sounds like Grand Master.

186

Grand Master?

187

You even lost your life!

188

Why did you even send her back here?

189

Xiaoxia, is the Grand Master a cripple?

190

No. He's just too lazy to walk,

191

so he ordered people to make a wheelchair to push him around.

192

What a strange old man.

193

Xiao Jiu!

194

- You can go back first. I'll go meet him!

- Xiao Jiu!

195

- Lady.

- Don't worry. It will be fine.

196

Xiao Jiu!

197

Who's there?

198

Stop!

199

Come back here!

200

Which courtyard are you from?

201

Don't you understand the rules here?

202

Is this place for a human-- Wrong. Is this a place where anyone can just casually go?

203

I'm new!

204

- Who did you come in with?

- Zhu Fu and Zhu Shou!

205

Continue crying! I'll pretend I saw nothing!

206

Come back! Come back! What do you mean by that?

207

You clearly saw it!

208

You saw it! You...

209

Go and bring me some food! I'm hungry!

210

Bring you some food?

211

I don't know who you are!

212

No, but I'm hungry!

213

Look at how old I am. It's not too much to ask you to bring me food, right?

214

All right then! Wait for me!

215

What is that?

216

Someone gave me some candy figures. You can eat this first.

217

Wow! The Eight Celestials?

218

These candy figures were exquisitely made! Who gave them to you?

219

Didn't you say you'd let me eat them? Are you regretting it now?

220

He Xiangu suits you.

(One of the Eight Immortals)

221

I still have things to do, I'll leave first.

222

Why did you give me He Xiangu?

223

He Xiangu is coming down to earth?

224

The six deities were left without a leader?

225

The six deities were left without a leader...

(Also an idiom meaning out of one's wits)

226

I'm not foolish.

227

Did that girl recognize me?

228

Hey! Girl! That...give me another one!

229

One isn't enough!

230

[Zhu's Family Tree]

231

Lady,

232

your identity now is the granddaughter of the richest family of Jiangnan, the House of Zhu.

233

You are the tenth successor.

234

The Master Zhu Ba was the only son in the eighth generation. He has ten sisters.

235

Young Master Jiu was his only son.

236

Then why isn't Uncle Jiu in the family records?

237

Did he burst out of a rock?

238

It's all because Grand Master Zhu is still mad at Young Master Jiu,

239

so he erased Young Master Jiu's name from the records.

240

Just pretend that he burst out of a rock.

241

Don't talk nonsense!

242

Lady, he's not in the family records,

243

but everyone in Suzhou Prefecture knows about Young Master Jiu.

244

That's right. When the celebratory feast comes,

245

Lady, you would be introduced as Young Master Jiu's

246

illegitimate daughter in front of everyone.

247

Uncle Jiu is my father?

248

Could it be that winter, when the Seventh Prince just left, that Old Master Mo was eyeing covetously,

249

but the one who really sneaked into the adjacent courtyard of Mo Manor and impregnated my mother

250

wasn't Old Master Mo, but Uncle Jiu?

251

Lady. This... It's too complicated.

252

Please wait for Grand Master to tell you the truth personally.

253

I don't understand.

254

My mother's surname is Xue.

255

She is not from the Zhu family.

256

And that scoundrel father of mine isn't the Seventh Prince, but is Mo Baixing.

257

Then why must I be a successor of the House of Zhu?

258

Lady, Grand Master is the eighth successor to the Zhu family.

259

Young Master Jiu is dead now. Grand Master has no other children.

260

He is getting old. Everyone in the family

261

is waiting to split Zhu Manor's inheritance.

262

If one day, Old Master...

263

And the Zhu family line will really end, this huge estate will just be split by those relatives!

264

As I see it, among these Zhu relatives,

265

just casually having any of them get adopted by Old Master Zhu is better than me with an unknown background!

266

Besides, I'm a granddaughter, not a grandson.

267

That's simple, Lady. We'll find you a son-in-law to marry into the family.

268

There will certainly be many people who would want to.

269

I won't agree to that!

270

- No, Lady! Lady!

- Lady!

271

- Lady! Lady!

- Lady, listen to me! Lady!

272

Lady! Lady, listen to me!

273

Lady! Xue Fei and Zhu Manor have a deep connection!

274

Right now, you are the legitimate tenth successor to the Zhu Manor!

275

I believe that having you inherit the assets of the House of Zhu

276

was Young Master Jiu's wish!

277

Yes, Lady!

278

The reason we changed you into Young Master Jiu's illegitimate daughter is to keep the rumors away!

279

Think about it. It's the same as changing your birthday.

280

You are no longer the Seventh Prince's illegitimate daughter Hua Buqi who was born in February.

281

You are now Young Master Jiu's daughter Zhu Zhu who was born in August!

282

But I heard...

283

Grand Master hasn't agreed to acknowledge me back to the family.

284

Grand Master just hasn't come around yet!

285

Besides! Zhu Fu and I have already sent out the invitations. Could he still ignore you?

286

During the feast, just help him gain some face.

287

And how could he still not have any reason to acknowledge you?

288

That's right, Lady!

289

Young Master Jiu raised you. You surely are good with literature and music, right?

290

Do you have any special skills?

291

Such as singing, dancing, musical instruments, or drawing?

292

No... she can't do anything. What will she perform?

293

Yeah. We are screwed. We'll be greatly embarrassed.

294

I'm good about this kind of skill.

295

But it doesn't seem proper to do this during the feast.

296

It's not just improper,

297

you'll scare the guests!

298

Then what do we do? I can't do anything else!

299

But... so what if I'm embarrassing?

300

It's enough if we can amuse Grand Master.

301

Who is in control of this family?

302

Grand Master has the final say! So what if I know nothing?

303

If he likes to give his estate to me,

304

no one can interfere. Right?

305

Say... The way Old Master Zhu is now,

306

could he completely leave Zhu Manor in Lady's hands?

307

Old man, you really know how to pick a place to relax!

308

You're not going to cry today?

309

What's it to you?

310

Did I say you could drink my tea? You...

311

Fine. Fine. You drank my tea,

312

so you have to treat me to dinner.

313

That's not a problem! I'll treat you!

314

You must give me this first. I never do business without profit.

315

Hey! Hey! Do you know what type of tea that is?

316

This is high quality tea that costs ten taels per bag!

317

Do you know what type of water that is?

318

That is from snow on the plum flowers last winter.

319

Do you know what that... Give it back to me!

320

- Give it to me!

- Careful, it's hot!

321

This is the Jiangxin china that

322

even the Emperor praises about.

323

This cup of tea will cost you ten... fifteen, sixteen,

324

seventeen, nineteen... twenty teals outside.

325

And you're still asking me for money?

326

It's already so generous of me to not let you pay it.

327

You treated me to tea. Did you boil this tea yourself?

328

I'll treat you to dinner and I'm going to make it myself!

329

Shouldn't you give me a salary?

330

Why don't I ask Zhu Shou to make you some more tea tomorrow? You don't need to eat my cooking either.

331

Hey! Hey!

332

You're repaying me with my own tea leaves?

333

Aren't I still losing out?

334

If you don't want it, don't drink it.

335

Wait! Wait!

336

That's more like it!

337

Tell me! What do you want to eat?

338

I... I won't eat birds that fly in the sky.

339

I won't eat fish that swim in the water. I won't eat animals that run on the ground.

340

I won't eat the vegetables grown in the garden!

341

I don't eat animals that are fed by people.

342

You have so many requests!

343

If you can't do it, return the money to me!

344

This won't trouble me!

345

Let's go! I'll take you to eat good food!

346

What sort of ground is this?

347

My goodness!

348

This... What is that thing?!

349

Wild mushroom. They are great with soup and other dishes.

350

Is that so?

351

You said you won't eat vegetables grown in the garden.

352

This is grown from the rotten wood.

353

It doesn't break the rules!

354

Forget it! Can you eat things grown out of rotting trees? Don't get poisoned!

355

Don't worry!

356

I know about everything that is edible in this mountain!

357

After the spring rain,

358

Uncle Jiu and I loved to explore the mountain.

359

We picked up bamboo fungus

360

and its spores.

361

In the mountain, there was also wild agaric, grass mushroom... Oh, here we go.

362

Xiao Jiu, picked mushrooms before?

363

That's not all! Uncle Jiu was very talented!

364

He not only knew how to pick mushrooms and wild vegetables,

365

he was also good at catching rats!

366

You must know that field rats like keeping food inside their dens during winter.

367

If you can find a rat den, you can have both meat and rice.

368

After the rat is skinned, it is all meat!

369

When you boil it, it is so fragrant!

370

This... You've picked enough. Why don't you go cook it?

371

Okay! Then let's go!

372

You're so fat. Aren't you afraid it'll be inconvenient to move?

373

I don't think there's anything inconvenient. I don't need to walk.

374

In a carriage, someone is driving it. In a wheelchair, someone pushes it.

375

If I am not doing either of those, someone will still carry me.

376

The important thing is I have money!

377

- I get to order people around.

- Yes. Yes.

378

You are completely right!

379

All the money is yours!

380

However you spend it is up to you!

381

Girl, I'm thirsty! Boil some tea for me.

382

Isn't there water in the river?

383

What? Drink river water?

384

Don't worry! That water is very clean! When Uncle Jiu and I begged outside,

385

we drank this type of water. Aren't I fine?

386

Don't lie to me!

387

Go. Go.

388

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Stay With Me Team @ viki

389

It's quite sweet!

390

Old man, you're back?

391

Can we eat now?

392

Not yet!

393

Why is it so slow?

394

Old man!

395

I'll go find some meat for you that isn't from the sky, the ground, the water, or domesticated.

396

I'm leaving some dead wood here.

397

Watch the fire! If the fire is almost out,

398

put some more inside!

399

- Don't let it go out!

- Stop nagging, hurry up! I'm starving!

400

All right!

401

How is this done?

402

Add firewood inside. Add some more!

403

This...

404

This is such a pain! Go!

405

Old man, hurry and help me! Help!

406

- Put it down! Put it down! That's poisonous!

- Help me, old man!

407

I'll beat you to death! Beat you to death!

408

I'll beat you to death! Beat! Beat!

409

- My goodness! I'll beat you! Beat! Beat!

- It's dead!

410

- Beat!

- It's dead!

411

It's dead?

412

Old man,

413

you're amazing! You killed the snake!

414

I must rip it to pieces out of anger!

415

Just wait!

416

Don't rip it too much!

417

- It's not good to eat if it's too small!

- Okay!

418

Come! Here.

419

It smells so nice!

420

Right?

421

It's so fresh!

422

Uncle Jiu taught me all of this!

423

Old man,

424

don't think that Uncle Jiu and I didn't live well.

425

We were indeed poor,

426

but we were quite happy! Just trying to catch a snake

427

or a field rat, we can already be happy for half a day.

428

You're too lazy to move every day.

429

You can't feel that kind of happiness, right?

430

After all this babbling,

431

don't you just want me to ask you?

432

Tell me about

433

Xiao Jiu's past.

434

Uncle Jiu and I

435

could have new shoes to wear without paying a single tael.

436

Uncle Jiu's hands were very capable!

437

I'll just go get some new long grass,

438

and he could turn them into strong shoes!

439

If we sold them in the market, it could earn five taels!

440

Uncle Jiu also liked to stay under the bridge to bask under the sun.

441

If he didn't have to hide,

442

that sort of lifestyle was very comfortable!

443

Just put a bowl on the floor.

444

In a little while, there were coins coming in.

445

Uncle Jiu also liked to eat yangchun noodles (noodles with a simple sauce).

446

Every time we got money,

447

he had to eat a big bowl with an egg in it!

448

Xiao Jiu, that fool!

449

If he wanted to sunbathe,

450

he could do it at home.

451

If he wanted to eat yangchun noodles,

452

he could have come home to eat them.

453

I could add an egg to them.

454

I'd give him two!

455

Old man,

456

why did Uncle Jiu run away with me?

457

Zhu Fu said it was because of me.

458

Could it be...

459

he was my father?

460

He wanted to take my mother away from the Seventh Prince.

461

You wouldn't agree, so he ran away out of anger?

462

No.

463

Xiao Jiu is my son.

464

Xue Fei...

465

was my daughter.

466

Then...

467

Uncle Jiu is my uncle?

468

Xiao Jiu...

469

was proud.

470

He always thought

471

that I became the most wealthiest man in Jiangnan because of my heritage.

472

And so, he went to the capital with Zhu Fu.

473

Without depending on the House of Zhu, he was able to be successful in the capital.

474

He rarely returned home.

475

But... that year when Fei'er turned seventeen,

476

he still returned.

477

Young master, the box you asked for.

478

Zhu Fu, what do you think?

479

Pretty. It's very pretty.

480

In a few days, it will be Fei'er's birthday.

481

She'll definitely like this present.

482

In all these years, Fei'er has suffered in hiding from that mysterious person.

483

Little Sister, this is your seventeenth birthday present.

484

Thank you, Older Brother!

485

Do you like it?

486

Come, I'll help you put it on.

487

Okay.

488

How is it? Is it pretty?

489

Pretty!

490

Delicious and pretty!

491

A mysterious person?

492

Yes. When I was young,

493

I made a mistake in business.

494

I messed up a very important deal.

495

Also,

496

someone died too!

497

Based on the law then,

498

the lightest sentence would have been to be exiled to the north as a prisoner!

499

It is called being exiled,

500

but you would actually just be dragging your life for just two more years.

501

In the end, it would still be death.

502

I am the only eight generation son of the Zhu family.

503

If I die,

504

House of Zhu would be finished.

505

But what does this have to do with my mother?

506

Don't interrupt!

507

You must listen slowly!

508

Where was I?

509

- The family line ending.

- That's right!

510

The Zhu family line would end!

511

At that time,

512

when all the merchants in Suzhou Prefecture

513

heard about this news,

514

they started to bully us

515

and pressure us.

516

They pushed us

517

until there was no way to retreat!

518

The government received money from both sides.

519

My father sent so much money over,

520

but it was still useless. He was so worried

521

that he fell ill.

522

When I was about to be executed,

523

at that crucial moment,

524

there suddenly appeared

525

a mysterious person who

526

saved me!

527

You've finally gotten to the mysterious person!

528

I don't know what method this mysterious person used.

529

When he made an agreement with my father,

530

the prefecture magistrate suddenly became decisive and smart.

531

He used only three days to find out that it wasn't our family's fault.

532

We were wronged.

533

Also, I had nothing to do with the murder case.

534

He rectified the Zhu Manor's name. The magistrate also

535

used his own carriage to personally send me back home.

536

That mysterious person was so powerful.

537

Then what was his agreement with great grandfather?

538

That should have something to do with my mother, right?

539

This agreement...

540

I will marry the legitimate daughter of your son.

541

I will send the betrothal gift on her seventeenth birthday.

542

I will send someone to pick her up when she is eighteen.

543

If the House of Zhu doesn't keep your promise,

544

then the silver I lent to you

545

will not only be collected with interest,

546

but also with a penal sum that is the same amount of the money borrowed.

547

This... Marrying my granddaughter...

548

My daughter-in-law is about to go in labor.

549

But we can't control if it's going to be a boy or a girl.

550

What if it's a boy?

551

Even if this time she is having a boy, she will have a girl some day.

552

If she doesn't,

553

the agreement will be abolished.

554

The silver I lent you won't have to be repaid.

555

I will sign it.

556

[Contract]

557

The mysterious man delivered us help when we needed it the most.

558

My father said then that even if he asked him to die,

559

just for me and the House of Zhu, he would do it.

560

Don't even mention just marrying a daughter to him.

561

In another perspective,

562

having the mysterious person's family as an in-law,

563

would be a good thing for a Zhu daughter.

564

How did he know that it would be a daughter?

565

Also, spending so much silver just to get a still unborn daughter of the House of Zhu.

566

-This... How could things go this well?

- Right.

567

How could good things just fall from the sky?

568

But why did he have to marry my daughter?

569

I still don't understand.

570

The day I got out of jail

571

was the night my wife went in labor.

572

And my wife really had a daughter,

573

which was your mother, Fei'er.

574

After giving birth to Fei'er, she was on her last breath.

575

When my father saw Fei'er,

576

he started telling me his agreement with the mysterious person.

577

Once my wife heard it, she was very much against it.

578

She held her last breath and asked me to stop it from happening.

579

Why was grandmother against it?

580

She didn't make it clear to me,

581

and died in anger. But...

582

when I thought about it, it was probably because that mysterious person was older than me.

583

And Fei'er had to marry an old man when she was seventeen.

584

Who would want to marry their daughter to someone like that?

585

So you hid my mother in the Xue Village?

586

It was only a temporary fix.

587

That night, we told the others that my wife had a stillborn.

588

I ordered people to send your mother to the Xue Village overnight.

589

Village Master Xue was my old friend and business partner.

590

After that, every year, I used going on business trips as an excuse

591

to visit your mother at the Xue Village in secret.

592

Even though Xiao Jiu didn't live in the manor, he would go visit her every year, too.

593

I thought it was a perfect plan.

594

But unexpectedly, on your mother's seventeenth birthday,

595

the mysterious person still showed up.

596

[Congeal Auspiciousness and Gather Good Luck]

597

You are...

598

I'm here for the agreement years ago.

599

The betrothal gifts are here. You may go prepare.

600

Next year, this time, I will come to marry your daughter.

601

I... I don't have a daughter.

602

You think I don't know?

603

Xue Village in Jiangbei.

604

I don't want to marry off my daughter. I can pay back the money.

605

Are you able to afford the capital sum, interest, and the penal sum?

606

If I can't pay it off, I still have a son.

607

If my son can't pay back, my grandson will.

608

I did not lend the silver in divided amounts

609

to the Zhu's!

610

Master Zhu Ba,

611

I forgive you for hiding your daughter,

612

but I'll only tolerate it this one time. There is no next time. If it happens again,

613

I will break Zhu Jiuhua's limbs as interest.

614

And I will sue you to the magistrate, so he'll confiscate all your assets.

615

Master Zhu Ba,

616

don't blame me when the House of Zhu becomes ruined and the members are dead.

617

- Zhu Shou.

- Yes.

618

- Master.

- Go fetch Lady back to the manor.

619

All we did before,

620

was only a joke

621

to the eyes of that mysterious person.

622

We can't escape from it.

623

No!

624

Little sister is only seventeen.

625

She left home and hid for so long.

626

Why does she have to marry a man who is older than her father?

627

Did you forget mother's wish before she died?

628

If sister is married to someone like that, she cannot rest in peace!

629

If it wasn't for that mysterious person,

630

Zhu Manor couldn't be this good today.

631

I am useless!

632

I couldn't save enough silver.

633

Fei'er has to suffer because of me!

634

No, I am not agreeing to this!

635

Xiao Jiu!

636

Xiao Jiu was so impulsive

637

that he secretly left Suzhou that very night.

638

The two of them were young and full of vigor.

639

They didn't know where to go. Hence, Xiao Jiu

640

took her to his good friend,

641

who was the eldest young lord of Mo Manor, Mo Baixing.

642

Mo Baixing then

643

already had married the lady of Feiyun Fortress, right?

644

Xiao Jiu received a message from Fei'er

645

saying Mo Baixing

646

got drunk and messed around. Fei'er got pregnant with Mo Baixing's child

647

and Madam Mo could not tolerate her.

648

Fei'er had to go back to Xue Village.

649

And then?

650

And then...

651

- Let's escape through the back door!

- Ten days after, Zhu Fu found Xiao Jiu.

652

He held a baby in his arms.

653

That baby was you. But Fei'er...

654

disappeared. Xiao Jiu

655

said that someone was chasing him to kill him.

656

Fast! Over there! Come with me!

657

Xiao Jiu said that we mustn't go find him.

658

That we must guard against the Seventh Prince.

659

Why beware of the Seventh Prince?

660

If I am not his daughter, then we are not related.

661

Why do I have to guard against him?

662

I have been investigating this matter and still have no clue.

663

But since Xiao Jiu said it, he must have his reasons.

664

He then took you and kept fleeing.

665

In order to hide his tracks, the handsome young man of before

666

was willing to

667

become beggars with you.

668

- Uncle Jiu...

- You don't have to know why. Just do what I say.

669

The fewer people who know us, the better. You have to hide your face with dirt when you go out.

670

You can't befriend anyone and definitely, do not do business. Understood?

671

So, Uncle Jiu couldn't go back to his home

672

was really because of me.
