[Episode 18]

- Go. Tell Rongshou family's ma'am to come. - Yes.

Fourth Young Mistress, please give your order.

I originally thought you put on the airs of a madam because you made a great contribution for the Sun family.

I was so scared that I didn't dare order you to do things. Now, it seems your good days are ending.

Fourth Young Mistress, what do you mean?

Second day after the New Year, Rongshou family's ma'am stole the 5 jin of swallow's nests gifted by Madam Li to Madam.

On the 10th day after the New Year, Rongshou family's ma'am set up a gambling table in the courtyard

and forced others to gather together five taels of gambling money for her.

On the first of February, Rongshou family's ma'am embezzled 20 taels of silver that was for the study's paper materials and framing.

Should I continue reading?

Did the Qingxi family's ma'am tattle on me?

Don't you worry who said it. Just based on these three items, isn't it enough for you to drink a pot?

You are not a servant born in the manor, so it's not convenient to punish you.

Whether to sell you off, or to report you to the authorities about you stealing from the master, it's all up to me to decide!

Fourth Young Mistress, I know I did wrong. This servant did wrong! This servant did wrong!

Please forgive me. I know I did wrong.

Xiao Hong doesn't do a good job, I don't like her.

Transfer your daughter Xiao Cui to my place.

Do you accept or not?

Yes, I do! I do!

Xiao Cui will go up the mountain of blades and jump into the flaming sea for you.

Thank you, Fourth Young Mistress.

Thank you, Fourth Young Mistress.

What is going on?

Not only that there's no income this month, there isn't even the small gift money for me.

Third Young Mistress, from now on

- I won't dare do something like this. - What's going on?

(whisper)

Third Young Mistress, if you don't have other orders, I will take my leave.

There are still a lot of things for me to do.

Wife, are you angry? Don't be angry. Don't be angry. Look at this bird.

- This bird is talking. Look at how it imitates you so well. - Get out!

- You are venting on me again. - Come back!

Sun Jingge, listen! You must achieve some success for me!

I have lost all respect in the Sun family.

If you don't succeed, I won't be able to live.

Alright, alright, Wife. I will definitely succeed and succeed some more.

Succeed! Succeed!

- You shut up! - Don't talk anymore, or Mistress will beat you up.

- Don't talk anymore. - Succeed.

- Don't do it. Don't do it. - Succeed. Succeed.

- Don't do it! - I'll strangle you!

I heard that Yulou's wife united all the manor ladies to overcome those purchasing brokers

and saved a lot of money for the household. You are really a good helper in the household.

All the seniors should learn from her.

I never care about household affairs. It's useless for me to learn.

It's good that Fourth Young Mistress has come. We only need to count on her from now on.

Every woman should learn how to manage a household. We can't accompany you forever, right?

In the future, you'll also need to branch out. Will you also get Yulou's wife teo manage your household?

Master is right.

From now on, we'll definitely learn from Fourth Young Mistress.

Fourth Young Mistress, you must teach us more.

- I... - Third Older Sister-in-Law, what are you saying? Shaochun is young. It's just a coincience that she did well once.

How can she match up to Third Older Sister-in-Law? You've been in charge of housekeeping for years. Whether inside or outside, you are good at it.

Brother Yulou is a good talker. How can us serniors match up to the young people?

Vigorous and swift, everything is completed in full.

That's enough. Don't talk when eating or eating. Just eat.

Don't talk when eating or eating. Here, eat some duck.

Don't you think it was at swords' points on the dining table?

- You are shinging too brightly. - Is this how you see me too?

Of course I know what you think. You are doing it for the family's sake.

But within one family, you can't fight over trivial matters. There are many considerations.

This really gives me a headache. I really don't understand.

What's going on with your parents, older brothers, and sister-in-laws?

They talk by beating around the bush. Don't they get tired?

I've see their grimacing faces since I was young. That's why I like a woman like you.

You talk straight and will take responsibility for what you do.

Enough, don't flatter me anymore. For your sake, I will do my best to get along with your family.

But if someone doesn't get along, I will make sure they become obedient.

I know that my wife is the most awesome!

Watch where you are if you have to be garrulous!

If the servants see, they won't say you are frivolous, but they'll laugh at me for being a commoner who doesn't understand rules.

Yes, Young Mistress. Let's go.

Eldest SIster-in-Law.

Eldest Sister-in-Law is diligently practicing martial arts. I heard that you like eating snacks.

So I especially made some. I don't know if they suit your taste, and hope that you won't dislike them.

Third Sister-in-Law said that you have lots of tricks. She told me not to talk with you.

- Young Mistress. - Oh, why did I repeat Fengqiao's words? Just pretend that you didn't hear.

Alright, alright. I didn't hear anything. Eldest Sister-in-Law, you don't have to talk with me.

Just come smell if they are any good. All you have to do is eat.

I'm not hungry.

- This is good. - Eat slowly. Sit down and eat slowly.

This is really outstanding cooking skill.

You are such a good person, so why is your reputation so bad?

If someone is good just by giving you good food, then you are too easily bought.

Eldest Sister-in-Law, let me ask you something.

I reduced those purchasing brokers' money. Did I do good or bad?

- Good. - When I disciplined those unruly servants. Did I do good or bad?

- Good. - So why am I a bad person?

That's right. How did you become a bad person?

You are a good person.

Eldest Sister-in-Law, I have just arrived and I'm in charge of housekeeping. It's easy to be resented.

You are a kind-natured person. You are also credulous and can easily get instigated. To judge whether someone is good or bad,

- you must see if this person has the heart in the right place. How can you only listen to talks behind someone's back? - Yes.

- Can I keep eating then? - They are all for you.

Who is playing the pipa?

Second Sister-in-Law!

I disturbed Second Sister-in-Law's qin playing. I was rude.

You play the pipa excellently.

Ever since I entered the manor, I've heard people say Second Sister-in-Law's qin skill is the best in the world.

I've been wanting to find the chance to learn from you, but I've been too shy to ask.

When I heard Second SIster-in-Law play the qin today, I couldn't help but wanted to join in.

Sure enough, I wouldn't have known until I played along.

Second Sister-in-Law is truly talented and skilled. I am far behind.

Fourth Sister-in-Law, you don't need to deliberately try to get close.

I'm different from them. I've never wanted to be in charge of housekeeping.

If people don't offend me, I won't offend them.

However Fourth Sister-in-Law wants to fight them, it has nothing to do with me.

I understand that Second Sister-in-Law is above the fray.

It's just that I only came recently, and I don't know everyone's personality.

I only wish not to become everyone's target. It's good to make more friendly connections.

What's the use to fight over things?

Do you know what's the most important?

What is it?

It's to be loved by someone who will never leave you.

Fourth Sister-in-Law is the most fortuante person in this manor.

No one else can compete with you.

Fourth SIster-in-Law, why didn't you notify in advace before you came?

I would have order the servants to prepare some good snacks for you.

Third Sister-in-Law, you don't blame me?

Yes, I do. Of course I blame you.

I've been supervising housekeeping many years, but suddenly someone came and is doing a better job.

You are more capable than I am. How can I feel good?

But I've thought it through in the past two days.

There is a saying, "The world belongs to everyone. Only the virtuous one can serve as an example."

Even though I'm not used to being idle, but it's quiet now.

You know that my health has been weak since childhood.

It's good to take this opportunity

to nurture my body.

When I say I blame you, I'm just venting.

In the end,

I have to thank you to unload the heavy weight from me.

I can rest assured then.

Fourth Sister-in-Law, you must not misunderstand me.

In the beginning, when I send people over to teach you rules.

It was really for you and Fourth Brother's sake.

Who would have known that ma'am deliberately got arrogant.

It's good that you beat her up. She came to complain to me.

I scolded her harshly. It made me look bad.

Should I have thanked her?

However, speaking of housekeeping,

the misunderstanding between us has become too big.

I didn't expect that you would be willing to come here.

You are really like the prime minister whose belly is big enough to hold a ship. (T/N: broad-minded and tolerant)

We are a family of the closest flesh and blood.

They say, "Prosperity comes when the family is in harmony." Things will get better and better from now on.

Third Sister-in-Law is wise. I am deeply grateful.

Once Third Sister-in-Law recovers, I'll still need

your guidance about the housekeeping.

Don't dislike me for annoying you at that time.

Feel free to tell me about anything. I'll give you a hand.

I don't care.

Don't talk two languages within one family.

It's getting late. Fourth Young Master should be returning soon.

I'll leave then.

Alright, then I won't keep you.

Come visit often whenever you have free time. I'll prepare good snacks for you.

Thank you, Third Sister-in-Law.

Looks like Fourth Young Mistress is practical. She came over to reconcile.

She is the weasel making a courtesy call to the hen. (T/N: harboring ill intention)

There is a saying, "A gentleman is willing to wait 10 years to take revenge."

Let's wait and see. I'll wait for the good opportunity.

Fourth Young Mistress, you are awesome. In just a few days,

you have already gotten along with all the other young mistresses.

Not necessarily.

But aren't they all very nice to you?

Eldest Young Mistress is straight-forward, that's easy.

Second Young Mistress keeps to herself as long as no one offends her.

Third Young Mistress is the strange one.

She appears to be friendly on surface, but uses schemes behind the scene to set me up.

We must be more careful. It's not easy to survive in a big manor.

What do we do then?

As a maid, why are you anxious?

I'm here. There won't be any big trouble.

Really?

I never boast.

What do you think about my outfit?

It was just made yesterday.

It's pretty. I want one made too.

I knew Eldest Sister-in-Law would like it.

I've had one made for each of you.

Thank you, Third Sister-in-Law.

Is there one for me?

- Yes. - Really?

Let me see. It's so pretty.

The fabric is good too.

In a few days, my good friend, Madam Zhang, is celebrating her birthday.

I've been pondering what to give her that befits her dignity.

I remember when Master was inspecting Jingzhou in the year before last, he bought a pearl headdress for me.

I don't like wearing it. I think it's been kept in the storeroom.

Yes, yes.

Now that the storeroom is under Fourth Young Mistress's supervision.

Find it for me in a while.

Change the box to a new one, then I can use it.

Yes.

Aren't you old enough? Why are you so clumsy?

Madam, the tea was too hot.

Why didn't you wait for it to cool down?

Yes.

Fourth Young Mistress hasn't seen that headdress.

Third Young Mistress can help her find it.

Yes.

This is terrible.

If Madam finds out that I pawned that pearl headdress,

she definitely won't forgive me.

Why don't we just find a way to redeem it?

Are you stupid? That thing was taken apart and sold. A piece here, and a piece there.

Who knows where they are now? The money I got from the pawn has been loaned.

The due date isn't up yet, so I can't even get the principal back.

Even if I know where the pieces are, I can't redeem them now.

Young Mistress, don't be afraid. After all, Fourth Young Mistress is in charge now.

If it's missing, we can't be blamed.

You are really stupid. She is just put in charge over the storeroom.

When she opens the storeroom and can't find that thing, she will definitely report to Madam.

You tell me, who will Madam ask at that time?

What do we do then?

I am out of ideas.

If it's really impossible,

I'll go to my family to hide a while, and come back after Madam's anger is dissipated.

I just really can't accept handling over the household to Lin Shaochun.

Mistress, look at that. Is Qingxi family's ma'am bewitched?

Qingxi family's ma'am, are you insane?

- Young Mistress. - How can you stuff whatever into your mouth?

Young Mistress, don't misunderstand.

This... take a look.

This is made out of sugar. I saw a sugar-figurine seller on the street.

He was truly skilled. Whatever he made was like the real thing.

I thought it was fun, so I had him make me a set of cups and dishes.

Later, in front of those maids and servants,

I will eat and scare them to death.

You haven't scared them but already scared me to death.

Scram.

Sugar figurines?

Why can't we find the pearl headdress that Madam talked about?

Third Young Mistress was in charge of the storeroom.

She also had the keys.

We don't know anything.

Go. Let's ask Third Young Mistress.

Look at my brain!

I forget that this headdress was put away sometime ago.

Third Sister-in-Law, what happened?

This is what happened. This headdress is too precious.

It would gather dust in the storeroom.

I was concerned that it wouldn't be easy to clean with such an exquisite craftsmanship.

So I put it in my room.

Look at this, clean as new.

Amitabh.

I only saw it once when it was sealed in the storeroom.

It still looks brand news after all this time.

Third Young Mistress, you've really taken good care of it.

What smells so sweet?

It's nothing.

I drank some syrup just now and spilled some on my clothes.

I'll go change soon.

It's still sometime until Madam will present the gift.

I need to return it to the vault

so that Fourth Young Mistress can take care of it.

Young Mistress, I have an idea. I"ll make a fake headdress.

Give it to Lin Shaochun. What do you think?

This is inappropriate, isn't it?

What's inappropriate about it?

I'll go find that sugar-figurine craftsman. You can just wait for me.

I'm giving you this heavy burden.

I can leave now that mission is accomplished.

Alright, let's tidy up. This storeroom is important, so it's not good to stay here too long.

When you've tidied up, you can leave.

Yes.

I remember when Master was inspecting Jingzhou in the year before last, he bought a pearl headdress for me.

I think it's been kept in the storeroom.

Why does it smell so sweet?

It's nothing.

I was drinking syrup and spilled some on my clothes.

What's wrong?

I think I fell for a trap.

What trap?

When I was a kid, there were sugar-figurine sellers on the street. What they make were just like the real thing.

The sugar paste smelled just like the smell on Third Sister-in-Law.

She is not a child. Why would she eat those things?

Even if she eats it, why would she smell so strongly of sugar?

So...

Shaochun?

Where are you going? It's damp at night. Wear enough clothes.

Just as I thought.

They are framing me.

Young Mistress, what do we do?

As things are, it's too late to be upset.

I blame myself for being careless and fell into her trap.

Don't be anxious yet. Let's think of a solution.

We'll solve it somehow.

But we don't have much time left.

There isn't any obstacle that can't be overcome.

Solutions are thought of by people.

Let's wait till daybreak.

We'll go rest first.

Go ahead and leave.

I really don't want to go to the magistrate's court.

Be good.

Please let me stay with you for a little longer.

I married a good official who is dedicated to the nation and the people.

I ddidn't marry a playboy who only covets romantic time.

Alright. Then you'll wait for me to eat together?

Oh yes. You went out in the middle of night. Is there a problem?

It's fine.

Good. I'm leaving then.

Go on.

Fourth Young Mistress, I asked my mom to draw the jeweled headdress last night.

I worked on it all night, but...

Young Misstress, you are good at drawing.

Maybe you can draw, and I'll make another one.

I know you are being good to me.

But the fabric and the craftsmanship for the jeweled headddress can't be easily imitated.

If it could be mitated, Third Young Mistress wouldn't have used that crude method.

How will you handle it then?

Madam wants to use it for a gift tomorrow.

It's not tomorrow yet.

Wait.

You asked your mom to draw the jeweled headdress.

Then the entire manor knows about it now.

I'm sorry. I didn't deliberately do it.

- What do we do now? - Forget it.

I know you meant well.

As things are now, I'll think of something.

Fourth Young Mistress has lost Madam's headdress.

Wow...

She probably won't be able to keep the housekeeping job.

Did she lose it? Probably she filled her own purse.

- This... - That won't do.

Losing the housekeeping job for a headdress,

- isn't it losing big for a small gain? - Maybe she is framed?

Hush, hush. Anyway,

she definitely can't hold on to the housekeeping job.

The housekeeping responsibility

is likely going back to Third Young Mistress.

We'll have to flatter Third Young Mistress.

Don't talk anymore.

Hurry, hurry.

Fourth Young Mistress.

Are you done with your work?

What are you gossipping about?

Yes.

Why are you dazed. Go do your work!

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Look at her, just like an anxious dog that's jumping over the wall.

So it's all definite then?

Let's hurry and prepare wine and food

to congratulate Third Young Mistress.

Rongshou family's ma'am is here.

This servant congratulates Third Young Mistress.

You'll be in charge again.

Congratulations, Third Young Mistress.

Come, come, come this way.

I know there are some trivial conflicts between the two Ma'ams.

But in my opinion, you are too serioius about it.

Not to mention working somewhere,

even an affectionate couple can also argue at times.

Today is my auspicious day.

Give me respect and sit down together to eat.

The two of you shake hands and let it go.

Third Young Mistress has spoken.

What else can we complain?

We respect your orders. As subordinates, we are short-sighted.

We will need your support.

Whatever Young Mistress say is always right.

It's always right to just follow what our mistress says.

I have bad luck too to encounter this mess.

After being in-charge for all these years, frankly speaking, I'm tired too.

I can't this new mistress who's such frustrating.

- She has only been here for a few days and she created such chaos. - That's right.

I should teach her a lesson when she messes up again.

Forget it. Let's not talk about her.

I called you to offer congratulations

for my mother's brother's promotion.

Wasn't he promoted in the first month of the lunar year?

It's already two months ago.

Look at my stupid mouth.

I'm clueless.

- One must pick an auspicious date to celebrate. - That's right.

- Isn't that so? - That's right.

Everyone, take a seat.

Let's eat and drink.

Let me pour the wine for you.

Let me hold the cup.

Here, Mistress.

You are going to be in-charge of the household.

Yes, that's right. Congratulations, you will be in-charge again.

I'm very happy.

I'm really very happy.

Congratulations, Third Mistress.

Congratulations, Third Mistress.

Fourth Mistress, you are back.

Everyone in the house is talking about the loss of the pearl crown.

- I fear First Madam will query you soon. - Is that so?

- Aren't you anxious at all? - Will being anxious help?

Did you find a solution?

Then...what should we do?

Don't worry. When the boat gets to the pier, it will go straight with the current. Let's go back to have or meal. [T/N : Everything will be fine.]

When we are full, we will be able to think of a solution.

Let's go.

Stop running away.

We agreed that you would give me five large sum of money after the theft. Why did you only give me three large sum?

Master, I have only have three large sum.

Why did you bet five large sum then?

I don't care. You owe me this. Pay up when you have gotten your wages for this month.

Master, you are the master. Why are you quibbling with me over this small sum of money?

You don't understand. Houseflies are still meat. [T/N : A job is still a job]

Moreover, there are no fathers and sons in a casino. Even more so, for masters and servants. [T/N : A casino is ruthless. It doesn't care about emotions.]

- No, Master... - Give me the money.

If you don't give it to me, I will...

Is Third Young Master always like this?

Third Mistress watches him very closely and usually doesn't give him any monthly expenses.

Whenever Third Young Master spent everything out there, he would always complain about having deficit.

When the money goes to the head, there will be haggles over every cent. Once there was money short from the accounts.

Once there was money short from the accounts.

he almost demolished the storeroom.

Is that so?

Xiao Cui, do something for me.

I heard the pearl headgear is lost. Is this true?

You heard wrongly. It wasn't lost.

- It dropped into the lake. - How did this happen?

You are too careless. How can you be in-charge of the household?

Madam, I'm not to be blamed for this.

Blame me instead. I shouldn't have

given the pearl crown to Fourth Mistress.

She's too young

it's understandable that she likes the pearal headdress.

Third Young Mistress, aren't you accusing Fourth Young Mistress of stealing from what she is guarding?

I didn't say that.

I'm just thinking that the storeroom is tightly guarded.

Such a nice item fell into the lake?

Would anyone believe this?

It wasn't me.

It's Third Brother.

You are slandering him.

If you don't believe me, you can ask First and Second Mistresses.

Both sister-in-laws were at the scene too and personally witnessed it.

Witnessed what?

What's going on?

I was thinking that summer soltice is coming up.

All the brothers will want to prepare some items.

So I distributed the monthly stipend in advance so that people will have money in hand.

Unexpectedly, because I got to busy, I was short of three qians of silver to give to Third Older Brother. (T/N: equivalent to 15 grams.)

Where is Rongshou family's ma'am? Why am I short of three qians of silver this month?

Fourth Mistress is distributing the monthly expenses for now and didn't notify Mistress.

Now that Fourth Young Mistress is in charge, she shouldn't make it difficult for me even though her position is high, right?

- Go and tell her to come here now. - She's not here.

Not here?

I think she's deliberately hiding from me.

She's really not here.

Really not here?

Fine. I will wait here then.

Bring it on.

Not here?

The taste is not bad.

Wasting time?

What I have is time.

My mind and spirit is here.

My mind and spirit.

When is she coming?

Third Young Master, I really don't know.

Are you pretending to be clueless with me?

If you dare to fool me, I'll give you a beating!

- Third Young Master, don't beat me. - Running away?

Third Young Master.

- Third Young Master, don't beat me. - Third Brother, who are you beating?

You...

You are here at the right time. Let me ask you.

Why did you give me short of three sum of money for this month?

Who said so? I personally recorded what I gave you.

Fine. Here, count this.

Doesn't Third Older Brother know the rule that once money changes hands, it's a done deal?

If you didn't discover it at that time, I'm sorry that I cannot give you more money.

Besides, who knows if these silvers

are the original ones?

What are you saying?

Don't tell me I replaced them?

Cut the crap. You short-changed me. Make up for it now or this is not over yet.

Give it to me.

- Move aside. - Third Brother, what are you doing?

I'm getting the balance of the money you short-changed me.

- No law and ethics. So unruly. - What do you mean?

Eldest Sister-in-law, let him be.

I'm taking my silvers.

The brothers usually get along. If we interfere,

it's not good to harm the husband and wife's relationship.

Where are the silvers?

Let me tell you. I'm taking what belongs to me.

If it's not mine, I will return the excess to you.

Third Young Master, you can't do this.

- Move aside. - Third Young Master.

Oh no, Madam's jewelry!

Third brother-in-law, stay still!

Let's go, Yingnxue.

- Third Young Master. - Third brother-in-law.

You can take away the money.

The pearl hat is Madam's gift for someone. You can't take it away.

What pearl hat and gift are you talking about?

Behind you.

Behind me?

Third Young Master!

-Did it fall into the water? - Oh no.

Madam is going to be furious this time.

The pearl hat is gone because of three mace.

- This... No, hurry up and drag it! - Third Young Master,

it's dangerous. Don't jump!

It's over.

This unpleasant creature.

Where is he?

Since he found out he'd lost your gift,

he has been too scared to see anyone and hidden in his study room for a half day.

Why did I give birth to such a creature?

Not only does he have no achievements, but he also causes trouble all the time.

People say that a virtuous wife helps her husband avoid disasters.

Jinge's wife, I used to see your considerable ability.

Where's your ability now?

You can't even manage your husband!

It is my fault. Since it fell into the river,

I'll have someone drag it immediately.

Fengqiao,

we've sent people to drag it, but the silt is so deep

that it can't be dragged.

My exquisite gift is totally ruined by you all.

It is my fault.

I can't forgive you for getting into trouble like this.

The worth of this pearl hat

will be deducted from the monthly allowance of you both.

I have to teach you a lesson so that you will be more careful.

There has been a rumor in the family recently

and people have been discussing the loss of the pearl hat.

Don't be under the impression that I have no idea where it came from.

You are jealous and narrow-minded.

How many things have you secretly done because you're jealous of Yulou's wife?

I didn't say it just to save your face.

You should know it already.

This time I'll settle this matter with accounting records.

I won't forgive you if you do it again.

Yes, I understand.

- Concubine Mei. - Yes.

Let them take a good look.

Take a look...

The words, Concubine. The words.

Take a look.

Look.

Take a good look at it. Take a look.

[Prosperous Family]

Yuehong,

what does it mean?

I don't know.

- Is it really lost? Is it really lost? - You can't live a good life.

You ended up falling into Lin Shaochun's trap.

Do you have too much time to kill?

Wife, it hurts. It hurts.

- You know it hurts? - Yes.

Does your pain mean anything?

- You've caused me heartache. - Yes.

Do you know how much my heart aches?

I do. I do. I do.

Third Young Mistress, Fourth Young Mistress seeks to see you.

No!

Third sister-in-law sounds very angry.

- She's here. She's here. - Lin Shaochun.

This is my house. What does my anger have to do with you?

You're not welcome here. Get out!

Third sister-in-law, don't be angry.

You shouldn't blame third brother-in-law.

Third brother-in-law did nothing wrong. Instead, he helped you.

What do you mean?

I ask third sister-in-law to have other people leave so that I can have a word with you.

If you are unwilling to do so, then I'll just be completely honest

and say it in front of others. Hopefully it won't make you lose face.

- You all leave us alone. - You all...

- There are no other people here. - I mean you!

I'm not a stranger.

- Get out! - Yes!

Say whatever you want to say then.

Once the Rongshou family knew that the pearl hat was stolen, it was spread very quickly.

Not only the family, but the merchants that we usually contact

also knew that Third Young Mistress had to manage things all over again,

so I asked my granny to ask for a kickback on behalf of you.

They agreed on following the usual rules, which was exactly what they wished for.

Not only did they sign a new agreement, but they also gave me the old agreement.

If Third Young Master hadn't fallen into your trap,

would you have been ready to report me?

I didn't marry into the Sun family for the fortune

or to compete against anyone. I just want to live a peaceful life.

As Madam said, "Prosperous Family".

It's fate that both of us live under the same roof.

I don't wish for unity, but peace.

It'll be better if we can live in harmony and secure the family's possessions together.

But if someone has to cause trouble and leave the whole family restless,

then I'll tell you what,

I know how to deal with them.

Alright, third sister-in-law. This is the end of today's drama.

You should take some rest.

If you would like to build a stage again, let me know.

Third sister-in-law, don't Qin Hui anymore.

Isn't it better to play Yue Fei instead?

Come here.

Did you... have a fight?

No.

I'm sorry for what happened today. I will definitely

measure your monthly allowance accurately. It won't be less.

Okay. I will never dare to cause trouble again.

This time the pearl hat is very expensive. I don't know when I'll be done paying it back.

Don't worry. Yulou and I will share the compensation.

- His salary from the imperial court is enough for us. - Really?

Thank you both.

- Go in and see your wife now. - Okay. I will.

Well, is she not angry anymore?

Wife.

Wife.

Fourth Young Mistress, is everything okay?

I hope she will behave from now on.

It's all thanks to you. If you hadn't made a fake pearl hat,

we wouldn't have been able to trick First and Second Young Mistresses.

Fourth Young Mistress, don't mention it.

I revealed the secret to my mother.

I feel lucky that you don't blame it on me.

How could I dare to take credit in front of you?

That's fine. It's over. Let's go.

I think this really suits you.

This is a gift I chose specifically for you.

Very lifelike. Lady Zhang,

- this is exquisite indeed. - Exactly.

Nice color as well.

Everyone, I had a craftsman in Suzhou make it specifically for you.

It's smooth and transparent. You'll like it for sure.

Madam, what's wrong?

Compared with my friends, I married into the best family.

When they have a birthday celebration, my gift is always the best.

Unfortunately, I lost the pearl hat.

The gift I have this time is so cheap

that I don't feel comfortable.

I'm afraid of losing face.

Considering your status, nobody will complain about it.

You don't understand. When you're in a noble family,

face is even more important than life.

Maybe they won't say it, but they will certainly have some kind of thought.

I am just a woman, so it's fine for me to lose face.

If I compromise Master's reputation because of this,

what should I do?

Don't worry, Madam. I'll come up with an idea

to save face for you.

What do you want to do?

My servants have cleaned up the backyard for the Zhang family before.

I heard that Lady Zhang is great at music and dancing.

She danced before the emperor back then.

The emperor was so happy that he granted her a marriage with a first ranked scholar.

I guess she hasn't had much time to dance over the years.

If she hears Flying Wild Goose again,

I wonder how she will feel.

How smart you are.

- Her body shape is great. - Exactly. Just like back then.

Nice!

- Lady Zhang danced very well! - Indeed.

We did feast our eyes on it.

- That's right. - Lady Zhang is as great at dancing as she used to be.

Exactly. We are very envious.

- Am I right? - I'm tired.

I'm not who I was back in the day. I can't dance anymore.

You're still in good shape. This is the best dance I've ever seen.

Shaochun, is this your idea?

No, it's Madam's idea.

Since you lack nothing, Madam didn't know what birthday gift to give you.

Now that you've taken a trip down memory lane,

I presume memories are the most precious.

That's true.

This song alone brings back a lot of memories.

Shaochun,

why don't you play one more song for me?

Yes.
