Episode 11

Fang Mansion

New County Magistrate of Zezhou Liu Qing

Treat this written instruction as me and do as the holder requires. Chu Huai

County Government of Zezhou

Divorce settlement

I wonder who did this.

It was all beginning to unravel.

Li Changhong became a jinshi at the age of 20.

He successively served as the Deputy Governor of Luting,

Military Staff of Taizhou,

County Magistrate of Qingyang,

County Magistrate of Anyang,

Deputy Military Governor of Weihui,

and County Magistrate of Zezhou.

Every place he served

was around Zezhou.

In this case,

he might have been targeting at our Fang family

since 20 years ago.

I didn't get it.

Our Fang family is just a merchant.

What's worth planning for so long?

It's all about money.

He coveted the property of the Fang family.

Did he work hard for 20 years

just for money?

What's more,

20 years ago,

our Fang family hadn't made a fortune yet.

Zhenzhen,

why did you change your name to Jiuling?

I remember it.

Jiuling

is the name of the princess left by the late emperor,

and the late wife of Governor Lu of Arm Moral Department.

I kept wondering

why this name sounds so familiar.

Zhenzhen was acquainted with Her Highness Princess Jiuling.

I think it's to commemorate her old friend.

Both Zhenzhen's and Her Highness Princess Jiuling's parents

passed away.

Her Highness Princess Jiuling married but didn't live long.

Zhenzhen's engagement

was rejected.

This is different, grandma.

Although Zhenzhen isn't granted a title of the princess,

I think

she is much better than the princess.

At least she's alive.

Grandma,

I want you to go back alone later.

I have one more thing

to go out.

It's almost home.

Why don't you go after the reception?

I'll be back

before the reception.

Yuan Bao.

Isn't that Miss Jun?

Stop talking.

What are we doing? You stay here.

Grandma,

Chengyu has returned safely.

Jinxiu didn't know anything about it.

She had nothing to do with what Madame Su did.

You've been locking her up for a long time.

As the way she is,

she's not going to make it.

I beseech grandma

and mother

to forgive her

as she is a member of the Fang family.

Grandma,

I think

what Yuxiu said makes sense.

Let bygones

be bygones.

It's not Jinxiu's fault.

She shouldn't be involved in this.

What's more,

I'm still standing right here.

Jinxiu is

violent-tempered

and proud.

I locked her up

for her good,

so that

she wouldn't torment herself

when listening to rumors and criticism every day.

Grandma,

I have a way

that might work.

Jinxiu.

Jinxiu.

It's me.

Chengyu.

Chengyu.

It's me.

You can really walk?

Yes.

I'm all right.

Does it hurt?

No.

That's great.

By the way,

I bought you

a lot of little gifts on my way here.

Have a look.

This carved wooden figure.

Have a look.

Do you still remember?

There's something for me, too.

Sure.

What's wrong? What's wrong?

I don't think

I should call you brother anymore.

Nonsense.

We all believe in you.

I know you're innocent.

That's not the case.

I was born guilty.

My birth

just gave her reason

to stay in the Fang family.

Beyond that,

I'm useless.

Believe me.

None of us blame you

or complain about you.

It just

happened so suddenly

that we haven't figured out how to face it.

Yes,

she gave birth to you.

But

you have nothing to do with her now.

You are you.

Moreover,

you have been an independent person

since you were born.

It's heinous for others

to kill and set fire,

but as long as you didn't do it,

it has nothing to do with you.

Really?

I have

such a good sister.

She can read, write,

examine the accounts and do calculations,

and dares to deal with businessmen.

You are smart

and skilled.

You are my good sister

forever.

You will find

many things very difficult in the moment,

but they will be better

in a long time.

Look at me.

Look.

Am I not all right now?

Chengyu,

I want to leave the Fang family.

Leave?

I am no longer the young lady of the Fang family,

but Fang Jinxiu.

I want to start

a new life as Fang Jinxiu.

All right.

It's all over.

All right.

Take good care of yourself while you're gone.

Don't worry.

Don't worry about me.

But

you have to take on

more family affairs in the future.

It's my duty.

I'm leaving.

Grandma, mother,

don't worry about it.

Jinxiu is smart.

Let her be.

Then she can feel better.

She might as well go out and temper herself.

Let's see when she'll be willing

to come back.

Senior Madame.

Senior Madame.

Her Ladyship is gone.

I looked everywhere

and couldn't find her.

What?

Stop crying and tell us about it.

Li Changhong is dead?

Smooth and clean.

No one can find any doubt.

Do you have all the men?

Your Excellency,

they'll be here in a few days.

I dispatched them from a distance

as ordered.

It was much hidden.

OK.

This time

we will uproot

the Fang family.

Where's my hot water?

Why is it so slow?

Sorry.

I'm late.

What are you

looking at?

I want

hot water first.

Is there any hot water?

Yes, yes.

I'll send it to you later.

Send it to my room.

Yes.

Your Excellency,

I think she was just passing by

when sending some hot water to the wing room over there.

Why do I always think

there's something wrong with

this damn place?

Go.

Confirm it with the people

at the post station below.

Yes.

Sir,

all the people in our kitchen

are here.

Is there

a young woman in your post station?

A maid.

We're all men here

except her.

Oh, no.

Your Excellency,

she ran.

Chase her.

Yes.

How did you know Yuan Bao?

Why did you follow him?

It's too late to explain to you.

Let's talk later.

If he were an ordinary man,

we would fool him.

Yuan Bao is different.

He practices kung fu

and takes the imperial decree with him.

There are some hidden guards and men of Arm Moral Department around him.

What can we do?

Create chaos

and disperse the pursuers.

You go back to Zezhou now.

What about you?

I have my own way.

Jun,

remember,

you owe me an answer.

Zhu Zan.

What should I do?

I didn't find Her Ladyship all night.

Senior Madame,

what should we do?

Any news

after reporting to the government?

They helped find Her Ladyship,

but His Excellency said

she might have lost her way

and it's not a big deal.

He even said…

What did he say?

He said

we dragged in too many people

and acted like

bandits who wanted to

turn this city over.

Senior Madame,

please find a way

to help me find Her Ladyship.

Please.

For the sake of Jiuling,

even if I turn this city over,

it's no big deal.

Bring me the walking stick.

Your Excellency the Prefect,

all the clues we know

have been told.

Please send some people to search immediately.

Your grace

must be remembered by our Fang family.

Well,

Mr. Fang,

don't worry too much.

Young Lady left home

not long ago.

Don't worry,

she will come back safely.

If something happens to Jiuling,

I, a grandma,

can't be forgiven.

I'll find her

even if I turn the city over.

Your Excellency Liu, please send some people to find her.

Senior Madame Fang,

that's not a big deal!

She hasn't been home for one day.

I don't think anything will happen to her.

My granddaughter-in-law

is very important to the Fang family.

If she has an accident,

our Fang family

will collapse.

Senior Madame Fang,

I beg you.

I beg you

not to make trouble.

Treat this written instruction

as me

and do as the holder requires.

Senior Madame Fang,

can I

have a look?

Sorry to

offend you.

This is a written instruction that His Majesty

gave our Fang family when he was a prince.

Now he has ascended the throne.

Your Excellency Liu,

is it still useful?

Of course.

It's, it's still useful.

Please assist our Fang family

in searching the city

to look for Jun Jiuling,

the young lady of our Fang family.

I

follow the order.

I'm leaving.

Don't kneel still.

Go to look for her.

Yes.

Grandma,

the written instruction…

I've done

what I can do.

You go to

the west of the city.

You go to…

-Grandma. -…the east of the city.

Yes!

Set out.

Your Ladyship!

You're back.

Are you all right?

Senior Madame and we had been looking for you all night.

Grandma.

Where had you been

last night?

I went to gather herbs.

You,

you acted rashly.

You…

Grandma,

it's great that Jiuling is back.

She went to gather herbs

for me.

As an adult,

why are you

so thoughtless?

Now that you stayed out to gather herbs all night,

you should

have told your families early.

It's my fault.

I shouldn't come back late.

Sorry to make you worry about me.

Miss Jun is not a doctor.

Why did she go up the mountains to gather herbs?

Yeah.

Jiuling is indeed a doctor.

She cured my legs.

The Jun family is a medical family,

and she has inherited the medical skills.

Well,

you showed the written instruction

of His Majesty

just in time.

What written instruction?

Grandma,

now that she is back,

let's go back home.

Jun Jiuling,

you were thoughtless this time.

Grandma,

Jiuling…

Chengyu,

don't talk back to your grandma.

I'm sorry my thoughtlessness

made you worried.

Grandma,

I want to…

You get out first.

Yes.

Jiuling stays here.

The written instruction…

You just need to know that

the written instruction

is true.

But I had sworn that I wouldn't tell

the origin of the written instruction

to anyone.

I just wonder

why you took it out

just now.

After all, you didn't take it out

when father

and my husband

had an accident.

Back then,

I didn't know they were murdered.

Grandma worried that I would be murdered?

But why did you

take it out just now?

It's simple.

She can cure Chengyu of his disease

and has helped our Fang family.

Thank you, grandma.

Grandma,

I want to ask you

about something.

Then I'm leaving first.

Mother.

Mother.

How is grandma?

Don't worry.

Your grandma is not angry.

That's great.

Sure enough,

she can please everyone.

Of course.

Mother,

now that we failed to give a reception for Jiuling yesterday,

let's have a rich lunch

to welcome her today.

Shaoyao,

issue my order.

Yes.

Wait.

Heat a pot of wine

to celebrate Jiuling's safe return.

Mother,

I'm going to prepare for it first.

OK.

You really don't care about me after getting married.

I never thought I'd see this day.

Mother,

I also care about you.

Mother,

you suffered

for me.

Grandma,

the reason why I came back late is that

I came across someone

I shouldn't have seen

in the street yesterday.

Who?

A eunuch.

Eunuch?

Yes.

Eunuchs can't go out of the imperial palace at will.

Maybe

you mistook someone for the eunuch.

I once saw him when I went to

the imperial palace with my father.

So I absolutely didn't mistake him.

Eunuchs indeed can't go out of the imperial palace without permission.

But what if he did so by order of His Majesty?

Even so,

it's not a big deal.

Our Fang family has His Majesty's written instruction,

so it's reasonable for His Majesty

to dispatch an attendant here.

Grandma,

even if someone doesn't intend to do harm to us,

we should always guard against the harm he may do to us.

We can't make full preparations

for everything,

and the commitments won't remain unchanged forever.

This is human joy,

fighting with the heaven

and earth.

Are you going to

deceive yourself still?

You know

His Majesty dispatched him

not just to watch the Fang family

but also to uproot the Fang family.

I heard from the eunuch that

His Majesty is going to uproot the Fang family.

To be honest,

I had seen the seal in your box.

It's related to the official silver in the third year of the Taiyan period,

right?

Why do you know it?

If my guess is right,

that batch of official silver

was not sent to Beiqi at all.

When Chu Rang was still a vassal,

Zezhou was his fief.

The official silver was sent to Beiqi

via here,

but Chu Rang

transferred the official silver to the Fang's mansion halfway

as the initial capital of the Fang family.

Then,

your Fang family

recruited followers

and earned money for Chu Rang.

But he

didn't care about his father and brother

abducted by Beiqi people at all,

because he wanted less people

to hinder him.

No. No.

Back then,

our Fang family was confused

and committed a blunder,

but we were

also punished.

Both the father

and grandpa of Chengyu

died for it.

Why?

Why?

Why can't he let us off?

Why?

Grandma,

have you never thought that

he is the one who has framed the Fang family up

these years?

I doubt him,

but I have no evidence.

Chu Rang

knows our Fang family retained the written instruction,

so he won't hurt us.

He won't hurt our Fang family.

He won't.

He won't.

He won't hurt our Fang family!

He won't.

He won't.

Grandma,

now

the written instruction

can't protect the Fang family anymore.

Instead, the top priority is to deal with the troubles

caused by it.

You can't conceal that

the Fang family is the imperial merchant anymore.

First,

everyone has known that

you took out the written instruction in Zezhou,

which will cause many doubts.

Second,

if Chu Rang knows it,

he must doubt the Fang family,

but we don't know what he will do.

Then what should we do?

Conceal the matter about the official silver in the third year of the Taiyan period

and tell the world the Fang family is the imperial merchant.

Don't worry.

I'll ask someone

to spread it

as far as possible.

In this way,

Chu Rang doesn't dare to act rashly,

and the Fang family may avoid the disaster.

OK.

This is the last resort for our Fang family

to save ourselves

in the crisis,

so we'll listen to you.

I know this matter is important,

so no one will know it in the Fang family

except you and me.

You can be relieved.

Jiuling,

our Fang family

will be saved.

She should finish the chat with grandma.

I'm going to have a look.

She hasn't eaten for a night.

She must be hungry.

Chengyu,

I must tell you something.

What's the matter?

Your marriage with Jiuling

is not true.

Mother,

don't fool me

in this way in the future.

I'm telling the truth, Chengyu.

To treat you

behind others' back,

you got married

on the pretext of warding off the evil.

Why didn't

she tell me?

It's unfair for her

to do it

and also tell you the truth.

My legs have been cured,

and she will leave,

so it's time

to tell me the truth,

right?

No, Chengyu.

You misunderstand me.

In my opinion,

as long as my legs are cured,

and I can stand up,

I can be with her.

It turns out that

everything is false.

Of course not.

Your legs have been cured,

and you can walk now.

These are true.

I wish I'd never got better.

Don't say so.

Chengyu,

Jiuling doesn't want you to behave like this, either.

You're clever.

You must know

Jiuling doesn't love you.

As a man,

you should be

open-minded

and decisive.

Mother,

we should

settle this matter for Jiuling.

Now that we had held the wedding ceremony,

bowed to the heaven and earth,

gave offerings to the deities,

given a banquet

and invited all the people in the city to attend the wedding,

we can't only

tell others that

it's false,

which is unfair to Jiuling.

So you want to

give her a divorce settlement?

I'm not just going to give her a divorce settlement

but will also tell everyone in the city

and the deities.

Only in this way

can it be fair to Jiuling.

For me,

she fooled the heaven and earth,

deities

and all the people in the city,

so I should tell the heaven and earth,

deities

and all the people in the city

how kindhearted

she is

and what she has done.

You become mature.

Your Ladyship.

Your Ladyship.

Are you OK?

Yes.

You've packed everything up?

You can finally go to the capital city

to realize your wish.

Yeah.

I always want to go to the capital city.

Now I can finally go.

But I'm loath to leave.

You're loath

to part with Young Master Fang?

Don't talk nonsense.

Chengyu is always my cousin.

It turns out that

you really don't love me.

And

the whole Fang family

are good to us,

right?

Cousin.

Chengyu.

Young Master.

Your Ladyship,

this is the first time I hear Young Master Fang

calling you cousin.

What's the matter?

I want to

tell you something.

Go ahead.

I think

you should need it.

Divorce settlement?

Thank you

for protecting our Fang family.

You're welcome.

We are

of the same family.

You will

set out tomorrow?

How about going out for a walk?

OK.

Be careful on the way

to the capital city.

Take good care of yourself.

I won't go alone.

I'll go with Liu'er.

So you must take good care of yourself,

because you still need to think of Liu'er.

Cousin,

if you need help,

you can go to the firm.

Deshengchang also has branches in the capital city.

I'll tell them.

OK.

You came to see me

to prevent me from leaving

without telling you?

I planned to see you

after finishing packing up

my belongings.

Unexpectedly, you came first.

Then,

can I ask you a question?

Yes.

Will

you come back?

Of course.

My families are here.

I'll be back after I settle my matters.

The swordsmen always help others,

and Weiniang was known for her uniqueness.

But everyone can benefit from the good deeds

they did in this way,

so she is not extraordinary.

You're not strange to the woman that

I'm going to introduce today.

She is Miss Jun

who is famous in Zezhou.

The stories about the extraordinary woman Miss Jun

should be told from the past.

She canceled the engagement with Mr. Ning,

pushed herself forward in Jinyun Restaurant

and married Mr. Fang.

All these

are under her control.

Be patient

and listen to me.

All this begins with the origin of Miss Jun.

You only know that Miss Jun

is the granddaughter of the Fang family.

But do you know

her family

has practiced medicine for generations and inherited medical skills

for several hundred years?

Her father,

Jun Yingwen

was a famous doctor in Runan.

She is Jun Jiuling,

the highly skilled doctor

who learnt the medical skills at home

and took over her family business!
