"No Return" by Fan Shiqi

♫ Memories slowly surround me, are they happy or sad? ♫

♫ The intersection of being clear-headed and blurry, can’t determine if it’s white or black ♫

♫ Going against the wind yet still pursuing, I must retreat if I cannot advance ♫

♫ You needn’t and I am unwilling for tears to fall ♫

♫ For you I won’t regret anything even if I forget who I am ♫

♫ No matter how many years have passed, even when stars are falling ♫

♫ I’ll spend this long journey nestled together with you ♫

♫ Grant me a cup of deep love, a life of being intoxicated ♫

[Qing Qing Zi Jin]

[Episode 36]

No!!!

Qiuchi!

Qiuchi.

Little Monkey.

Qiuchi. I knew you would come for me.

Let's go

go home with me.

Let him go.

I promise you

I will never run away again.

As long as you let him go

everything you say, I will listen to you.

No...

Qiuchi.

Please take care of yourself.

No.

Let's go.

No.

I reverse my decision.

That day you said

that you love Luo Qiuchi

when you brought him up

your eyes shoned.

Qiuchi..

Thank you, Your Majesty, for allowing Wenren Juan to marry into Wukui.

I'm very grateful.

I have someone in my heart which is in conflict with the love knot.

I'm also unwillingly to let Wenren Juan leave her hometown with no one to rely on.

Hence, I'm taking courage to take the initiative

to use this note to cancel the marriage agreement. As apology, I'm giving a tribute of dozens of gems from the East Sea,

and a hundred of silk fabric. May the two states always prosper.

Respectfully, Prince Jianhui.

A'Juan!

A'Juan!

[Dongyi Mountain Lord]

Slowly...

it has only been 1 year

but it is now the 2nd time

that you have taken a serious injury on my behalf

do you still remember

when Qinhe and General Hang got married?

You asked me

if we get married

I should think of the decorations.

what you said

I remember it all.

I don't want any of it.

I don't want anything.

I just want you. And that's enough.

Qiuchi...

let's get married.

I don't want to wait anymore.

OK. Let's get married now.

Heavens above

I, Luo Qiuchi

I'm willing to take Wenren Juan as my wife

accompanying each other

for generations after generations.

Whether in happiness

or misfortunes, I will always be by her side.

I will make her the happiest person

in this world.

I, Wenren Juan

am willing to be married to Luo Qiuchi.

From today, whether it's happiness or misfortunes,

I'll always accompany him.

Love him forever, never forsake or abandon him.

♫ No matter how much trouble there are along the way ♫

♫ I will never give up that belief ♫

♫ Even though it will turn a thousand times ♫

♫ There won't be any complaints ♫

♫ I will never forget you ♫

♫ I want to protect you ♫

[Wenren Manor]

You've come back!

Father!

- Good good good, come in.

Come.

Come on, let's go in.

You...

What'd you say?

Lord Wenren, I and A'Juan are married.

Married?

I think you both have already done everything.

Marriage is a big event that must be dictated by the parents.

You must invite families and relatives to the wedding and conduct the formal rites.

You both just decided on a whim? Simply put, it's just like a child's game.

Father, we don't see it as child's play. Aren't we here to see you to ask for your permission?

You have the face?

Lord Wenren, my parents have passed away.

A'Juan's mother is no longer with us. It's just left to you.

- I hope you will grant our request. - What if I don't agree?

Then I will kneel until I die.

Father, we two are truly in love.

Besides, we've already slept together! (T/N: lit. the raw rice is now cooked)

Whaaaaat?

No, Lord Wenren. We didn't cook.

We haven't shared the same room yet but we have already sworn to heaven and earth

and are already married.

Father, you won't break us apart right?

Father, didn't you tell me before

that you and Mother were like us before?

Didn't you pray for pure love too?

Then we are also like that.

You and mother's love were this magnanimous. I also wish our love is like you guys'.

So please, I beg you Father, give your support for us.

We are truly in love.

Father.

Fine. It's already to this point

I'll promise you

- really? - hmm.

Get up.

Thank you Father.

Luo Qiuchi

I'm handing A'Juan over to you

however, I just have one request

you can't let her suffer any indignities, grievances.

Lord Wenren, don't worry

I, Luo Qiuqiu, will use my life to protect and guard her.

For our whole lifetime.

Good. Good.

- Thank you Father. - Thank you Lord Wenren. *father sniffs*

What you're still too sissy to speak up?

Thank you father-in-law.

Qinghe, Hang Ruxue why are you here?

We received your news, so we hurriedly came here.

A'Juan such important news, and you didn't notify me earlier, and had me hurry here!

It was too sudden.

Then, how about this

I invite you for a drink tonight to make it up to you guys!

Drinking wine tonight--let's forget that

tonight, there is something more important!

- What? - You'll find out soon. Follow me.

Being so secretive. Let's go.

Prince Kang Residence

Let your Father look at you.

Father, take good care of yourself.

Go on.

Husband.

Husband, you're back.

Husband, please have a seat.

This is?

Seeing how you were busy with official work every day,

So I made you some nice dishes.

Husband, sit, sit.

There are even kidney beans.

Today...take a seat.

You fried these for me when we were newly married.

This is my favorite.

How many years has it been since you've made this dish?

Why did you think of making this dish today?

My husband,

Shu'er has come back

and Juan'er has also come home

our whole family has come together.

I'm happy.

Such a hard prospect,

such a hard prospect that you would be happy for A'Juan.

We've been living under the same room for so many years

she's been calling me Big Madam (Main Mom)

why would I want her dead?

Let's not talk about that, Husband

let's eat our meal.

that's a good thing.

that's a good thing.

You finally are able to let go

of the rock stuck in your heart. Now I can also let go.

That's a good thing ah?

Come,

Yong peas.

does it taste good?

The taste hasn't changed.

Eat.

Delicious.

Madam, our family doesn't just have this good event

I was afraid before to tell you

but now I can tell you, A'Juan and Luo Qiuchi

they got married today.

What do you think? Isn't that a great event?

Great thing, great thing. A heaven's blessing great event!

Here, here...

- Qinghe, thank you. - It's between us, no need to thank.

The time is almost here. Turn around.

You guys can come in.

You both went through a lot. It wasn't easy for you to get married today

and couldn't conduct a proper wedding.

Qinghe and I discussed this and used these decorations

as your wedding room.

Why are you being idle.

We're going.

Qiuchi I'm a bit tired.

I'm also....

a bit

how about we, we....

sit...

sit...

Qiuchi, the wine has a problem

Don't worry!

This poison won't kill you.

Who are you?

On the contrary, it will keep you both very awake.

Your sense of perception will be abnormally sharp.

However, you guys

can only wait in pain

till you bleed to death.

why did you poison us?

People who are about to die, there's no need for you to know so much.

Your suicide notes have already been prepared

take a look!

Father, your daughter is not filial.

Since I was young, I have always been jealous of older sister's beauty and virtues.

Hence, I plotted with Qiuchi

at the competition against Wukui

to scheme and added poison into Qiuchiu's water

to deliberately exposed her.

Not only this.

We killed Uncle Yan Qi too.

You..!

When we found out he was the murderer,

we deliberately released him. We blackmailed him

and caused him to be killed.

For days, I have been feeling guilty.

I couldn't sleep at night.

No matter what mistakes I committed, I can't turn back.

Hence, I can only kill myself for my sins.

You are finishing everything in one shot.

- Little Monkey. - Qiuchi.

Since we're about to die

can you let us die with a bit of clarity?

Who sent you?

People who are about to die

I guess it's ok if I tell you

I was sent by your Big Madam.

Who?!

- Senior Lu? - Master.

Little brat, you are quite daring.

- You dare to wear the same hat as me. - Hmpph!

I wear the same hat as you?!

Shifu! Shifu!

An about-to-be-dead person is still useful!

Let him live to celebrate the new year?

Shi-fu!

What's going on with you two?

- Shi-fu we've been poisoned. - Poisoned?

Eat that.

You feeling better?

Lu Elder, what kind of antidote is this?

What? You think I'm going to poison you to death?

This is the Dispelling of Hundred Poisons that I brought back from the western region.

It cures any poisons.

You feel much better?

Little Monkey, I heard you were going to be marry off to Wu Kui country that I hurried back.

But how come you're getting married to this stinky brat?

What's going on?

Isn't it become Qiuchi saved me

besides, this event was sudden

so we couldn't give the news to you on time.

This isn't Little Monkey's fault.

You tell me so suddenly!

Does your father know?

Elder you're the first to know (about marriage ceremony).

Good, you better.

But Qiuchi, what does this mean exactly?

Looks like

Big Madam not only wants to silence her hired ones

She wants to ruin our reputation too.

what do you plan to do?

Go back to the old profession.

who is it?

It's me, A'Juan!

A'Juan.

Why are you here?

Father

Qiuchi, do you really not need me?

No need.

You can't kill anyone.

Stop... stop...

Prince Kang, it's such a grand house.

Only you are worthy of it.

Nice, nice!

We'll keep it at this.

- Then the money? - Xia Chang will send the money over to you.

If there is excess, it'd be your reward.

Thank you so much Prince Kang Qing.

Hurry up.

Big Madam.

Where are you going?

- Madam. - Who is this?

Don't taint my floor. Drag him out of here!

This is the witness. He can't leave.

This is Wenren Residence, not a place for you to go wild.

Grand Madam, you are acting like a stranger in saying this.

Didn't we just meet yesterday?

What exactly are you trying to say?

I want to discuss with you, YanQi's matter.

YanQi already admitted his guilt and committed suicide.

Why are you bringing him up?

The crime is evident, but if the suicide was indeed a suicided...

we can't say for sure.

Yan Qi died well

but there are some problems I would like to discuss with you.

This person who counterfeited the seal and falsified the accounts, has been doing this for fifteen years.

But Yan Qi only joined the Ministry of Household seven years ago.

Hence, this person who falsified the accounts, other than him,

there should be another person who can get close to Lord Wenren's seal.

Grand Madam, since you married into Wenren residence,

it should have already been seventeen years.

So what?

Other than the problem I just mentioned,

Yan Qi is a weak person.

How did he escape from several layers of guards?

Since he has escaped from several layers of guards,

why would he go back again to his residence to commit suicide?

He even left a detailed account on his body.

I checked that account. Those corrupted people

are basically with Wenren Residence who are having problems with your maiden family.

However, Yan Qi's death also happened to help Lord Wenren

and your father cleared the obstacles in the official circles.

Yesterday night,

you sent this man dressed in black to kill us.

He carried a love letter from me with him.

It's written very clearly in here.

It states how Little Monkey and I,

plotted to frame your daughter, Wenren Shu for fame.

I'm aware of everything that's going on now.

Grand Madam,

Yan Qi...

his death wasn't a suicide.

He died under your underhanded tactics.

Little Monkey.

Aunt, when we exposed Uncle Yan Qi,

you must have panicked.

After all, Uncle Yan Qi is not someone who speaks with affections.

Perhaps, after being interrogated a few times,

he would confess everything about you.

Hence, from then, you have already thought of it.

Uncle Yan Qi must not live.

You sent someone to rescue him first

and sent someone later to kill him and faked his death as suicide.

My older sister sent you to take me out of the city now?

You are taking me to avoid this till everything has died down?

You knew that a dead person won't be able to justify himself

and confess too.

In addition, you prepared the evidence in details.

Everyone's attention was on the corrupted officials.

As for you, you will feel safe.

Aunt, my deduction

should be correct, right?

Deduction?

Are you spinning a story?

Do you think you can randomly

find a substitute

as a witness to testify against me?

Killing people? Corruption?

These are simply fabrications.

Hilarious.

Grand Madam,

ten years ago, did you send someone to amend the examination script

and kill a kid?

I don't have time

to listen to your nonsense here.

Someone!

Hurry and move the luggage.

Madam! Madam!

Madam!

Madam.

these are the monies you used to bribe Prince Kang

to get him to marry Wenren Juan into Wukui.

The mark of the State Treasury are on them.

It was you who made use of Yan Qi to falsify the accounts

and kept being corrupted.
