=Rebirth For You=

=Episode 24=

I strictly followed Your Highness’s instructions.

None of us in Shoukang Palace informed Her Grace.

That’s strange.

Is it, Your Majesty?

Your Majesty, when I came out of Shoukang Palace,

I heard Stewardess Meng talked to the maids

about Her Highness’s instructions

that no one is allowed to tell the princess about her illness,

lest she would be worried.

Send someone to Bingzhou

and tell Commandery Princess Jia’nan

that the Grand Empress Dowager is seriously ill.

Her fate is unknown.

Yes.

Baoning, it’s so difficult for me

to see you now.

Don’t blame her.

There are many people in the palace,

it’s inevitable that the news leaks.

It’s good, though. Baoning seldom comes back.

When I get free time,

I can spend more time with you

and Baoning.

Li Qian has military tasks

and comes a little late.

But he’s coming soon.

Grandmother needs a rest.

I won’t waste Your Majesty’s time to accompany us.

Tomorrow,

I’ll accompany you with Li Qian.

Good. Good.

Your Majesty, you have a lot to do in the court.

Just go to work.

Don’t worry about me.

I’ll leave you alone, then.

Let the guard of Gate of Divine Might

find an excuse to keep Li Qian out.

Yes, Your Majesty.

Li’s Mansion

I know you like this.

Yeah.

Don’t just eat fish.

Try something else.

Here, try some of this.

This tastes good.

How do you like it?

You have some, too.

Child,

how can you just eat one of the dishes?

I kept telling you, don’t be fussy about your food.

It’s not good for your health.

Do you know how worried I was

when you were not at home?

I was thinking, when you come home,

I must cook lots of your favorite dishes.

Mother,

would you take your nose out of my business?

How can I do that?

You’re my baby girl.

Do you know how worried I was

when you sneaked away from home?

I haven’t blamed you,

yet you’re impatient with me.

Honestly!

Let me ask you.

You sneaked away from home

and made the whole family worry about you.

Don’t you feel guilty?

Because you discipline me

and restrain me all the time.

You force me to get married.

You don’t let me do anything.

That’s why I ran away from home.

It’s my fault, then?

Everything I do is for your good.

Now you’re blaming me?

Fine.

From now on,

I won’t mind your business again.

Do whatever you like.

I’ll never mind you again.

Are you satisfied?

Mother, you must keep your words.

I…

You…

You should behave like a girl.

It doesn’t look good to brandish swords and spears all day long.

Clear Sky and Gentle Breeze

Did I have a hallucination?

She’s really leaving me alone?

Mother, I’m back.

Mother.

Mother, Baoning said

she would let me take over the Charity House.

There’re many people in need of help.

Um.

Do you agree?

It doesn’t matter if I agree or not.

It’s your own decision.

I…

Oh.

So…

Mother.

Well…

I’m finished.

She’s really angry with me now.

She didn’t even talk to me.

Will Madam come to the garden today?

I don’t know.

Um.

I’m dressed in the way she likes it,

yet she ignores me.

Couldn’t she be smoothed down?

By the way,

how’s Grandmother’s condition in the beginning?

It was a sudden onset.

But after Chief Physician Tian checked on her,

she could get up that night.

Why did I hear that she was

seriously ill when I was in Bingzhou?

How could it be possible?

How dare the messenger talk nonsense?

It must be my good cousin.

How could His Majesty be so obsessive?

Your ladyship, it’s time to take medicine.

Are you feeling unwell?

It’s nothing.

Her ladyship goes to the palace every day to wait upon the Grand Empress Dowager.

Being afraid she might be infected with morbid qi,

Lord Cao specially asked us

to bring her herb soup.

Are you hiding something from me?

Are you sick?

I’m not sick.

Actually,

I was pregnant a few days ago,

but I had a miscarriage

because of an accident.

Maybe it was my fate that

I couldn’t bring it to the world.

Baoning, don’t worry.

I’m all right now.

I believe we’ll have

a baby again.

Definitely.

Your Majesty.

Why’re you still waiting for me?

I’m surprised that

you come back so soon.

Why don’t you stay longer with your cousin?

You’ve got many informers.

Her Highness has been ill for a while.

Why weren’t you anxious

to visit her?

As soon as Jiang Baoning came,

you became anxious.

Did you call Jiang Baoning to the palace?

What if I did?

Do I need your approval

to do anything?

Instead of meddling in my business,

you’d better manage the harem well

and prepare for the birthday ceremony,

Master of the Harem.

Yes, Your Majesty.

I’ll prepare

a grand royal birthday ceremony

and let you see

if I’m in the same league

as your beloved cousin.

Your Grace.

Your Grace. It’s late.

It’s time to go to bed.

Let’s wait a little longer.

The curfew begins soon.

I don’t think we’ll meet Commandery Prince today.

It’s late, yet Li Qian hasn’t arrived.

What happened to him?

Wei Shu.

Your Grace, what can I do for you?

Go to the Gate of Divine Might and inquire about Li Qian.

Yes.

You’re worrying overmuch.

What could possibly happen to him?

Who’s it?

Superintendent of Border Battalion, Li Qian.

I’ll take it from here.

Mr. Li, you don’t serve in the palace.

As a superintendent, you have no right to walk freely in the palace.

I’m afraid we can’t let you in.

I was supposed to come with Commandery Princess Jia’nan.

I’m late because of military affairs.

Things took place unexpectedly.

Could you make an exception in my favor?

Sorry, we can’t.

The Gate of Divine Might is the main entrance to the palace.

We can’t make exceptions randomly.

How dare you!

Mr. Li is the Commandery Prince.

How dare you be so rude to him?

He must have a pass no matter who he is.

You…

Wei Shu.

What?

Can’t we have a word outside the gate?

Of course you can.

I just want to remind you,

the curfew begins soon.

How’s the Grand Empress Dowager?

Her condition is stable and she can get up now.

When you return, tell the princess

I’ve arrived. Don’t let her worry.

If she wants to see me, I’ll be staying in Li’s Mansion.

Young Master, don’t you go in the palace?

You should go now.

Yes.

Your Grace, Commandery Prince has been shut out.

How dare they?

Let’s go to see.

Hey, Your Grace.

The curfew has already begun.

The gate must have been locked.

Young Master has left.

He asked me to tell you he’s safe.

If you want to see him, he stays at Li’s Mansion.

He must be upset.

Li’s Mansion

Dongdong is old enough.

She is already a big girl now.

She knows

what she says and does now.

What did she do?

She knows how to help her sister-in-law manage the Charity House.

She also knows to dress up as a lady.

She knows everything.

She doesn’t need me anymore.

I don’t understand you.

Really.

You always scolded her for being childish before.

Now she grew up,

and you start to complain of yourself not being needed.

You’re really strange.

Just sleep.

Why on earth did I talk about

a mother’s thoughts with you?

You would only upset me.

Shoukang Palace

Your Grace.

Her Highness’s pulse is stable.

She is now recovering.

I’ll prescribe a prescription to nourish her vitality

and build up her health.

Go to collect your reward.

Thank you, Your Grace.

Baoning, as soon as you come,

I’m well.

Don’t make fun of me.

Why didn’t your husband come?

I’ll bring him tomorrow.

Tomorrow?

Yeah.

Did you have a quarrel?

With me by your side, why do you always think of him?

Young Master.

Young Master, the Grand Empress Dowager has just recovered.

Her Grace is waiting upon her.

She’ll come later.

I got it.

East Market

The guards at the Gate of Divine Might

were audacious in the extreme.

They dare shut out Commandery Prince.

Mr. Li is an important person in Bingzhou,

yet he was shut out of the palace.

It’s so humiliating.

Do you think…

I would be angry if it was me.

That would be strange if he’s not angry.

I don’t think so.

Your Grace, if you go to Bingzhou with Mr. Li,

only to find you are shut out by his servants

and can’t go in his mansion,

will you be angry?

You still have to grant one of my wishes.

Do you remember?

Sure.

I want you to do it now.

Shoot.

Can you stop being angry with me?

I know you’re usually easy to get along with,

but you’re actually proud.

You were humiliated at the gate of the palace.

It must not be a pleasant feeling.

It was all my fault.

I left in a hurry and didn’t consider thoroughly.

If I left you a waist tag

or asked Grandmother for verbal instruction,

it wouldn’t happen.

Come here.

Have you cooled down?

I wasn’t angry.

Ah?

Who said I was angry with you?

I should give him a beating.

Then why didn’t you go to the palace during the day?

You made me worried.

A guard stopped the Commandery Prince at the main gate of the palace.

If it was at the instigation of the Emperor,

I don’t want to

complicate matters while you’re

worried about Grandmother.

If it was not,

I do serve in Bingzhou.

My official rank doesn’t give me the right to walk freely in the palace.

They were right.

People are watching you in the palace.

If I made a show of authority in your name,

it would give them an excuse.

It all simmers down to the truth

that I’ve married a princess.

I feel guilty for you.

Since you think for me all the time,

I must repay you, mustn’t I?

It’s difficult to sustain a royal marriage.

I promise you...

I promise...

your honor will increase when your son is born.

What did you say?

I won’t say it again.

Well,

aren’t you still in need of recuperation?

A chief physician in the palace examined me.

The prescription Aunt gave me works well.

Really?

If you keep asking me,

I’ll take back my words.

Madam, see you next time.

I promise,

I’ll inform you

when new goods come in.

Good. Thank you.

Yeah.

- Goodbye. - Yeah.

Madam, see you next time.

Sir,

she never left empty handed every time she came.

What happened today?

- Care for nothing but money. - Maybe

she’s in a bad mood.

- OK. - Go inside.

Get back to work.

Go.

You must exchange it for me.

I said I wouldn’t.

No, you’re dishonest!

The hairpin I sold you was exactly the same as the one I have.

You say they’re different.

Why should I believe you?

How could they be the same?

No return. No exchange.

Dongdong.

Mother.

What happened?

What’re you doing here?

Did you ask for your mother’s help?

Tell you what,

it doesn’t help even if you ask all your family to come.

I said no exchange.

Shut up.

You…

- Tell me what happened. - Mother.

Look at the hairpin in his hand.

I paid for it,

not expecting him to take another one

out of his bag for me.

They’re different in workmanship.

I asked him for that one.

He wouldn’t give me.

Take this.

Dongdong,

it’s obviously not of the same quality.

Yes. He wouldn’t exchange it.

How can you lie about it?

You can only have the one you bought.

No exchange.

It’s my rule.

Fine. Listen carefully, everyone,

no exchange.

Let me ask you,

if I give you counterfeit money

and tell you I’m not responsible,

will you swallow grievances in silence?

Yes. Yeah.

Yes.

She’s right.

Yes.

Here. Look carefully, everyone.

- This hairpin - Give me back.

is the one he uses to attract customers.

- This is the defective one - I…

- he tricked my daughter into buying. - Who tricked you?

- Yeah. - They’re exactly the same.

Are they of the same style?

Who would buy that? Did you hear me?

People say big shops shortchange customers.

Yours is just a small stall.

How dare you shortchange customers openly?

And you dare shortchange my daughter.

- Exactly. - Tell you what,

the most important thing in doing business is integrity.

If you don’t

return me the money today,

believe it or not,

I won’t let you set up the stall again.

I’ll ruin your business.

I’ll kick you out of the street.

Right.

- Money. - Money.

You... you make me fearful.

Wait.

I don’t want the money back.

I want the hairpin in his hand.

Of course we want the money back.

As for the hairpin,

I’ll take it, too,

in case you’ll

make more defective ones

to cheat people.

- Right. - Exactly.

- Yes. Right. - Everyone, look at this face.

Remember it.

You must see clearly.

- Dishonest trader. - Profiteering merchant.

How can you do business by cheating?

- Really? - You’ve gone too far.

Mother, you’re awesome.

He had gone too far just now.

How did you do that?

- You made him so mad. - Shut up.

You didn’t know

how fearful I was

just now.

Mother.

You wicked girl.

I used to beg you

to come out shopping with me.

You just ignored me.

- I… - What did you think today?

Come out to buy a hairpin?

Forget the hairpin.

I don’t blame you for buying it.

But you don’t know

how to deal with the stallholder at all.

You were fooled easily.

You blamed me for meddling in your business.

Was there anyone who cared about you just now?

Did any of the onlookers stand out for you?

If I hadn’t run into you,

you

would surely get bullied.

The run leaves me out of breath.

Do you know how worried I am?

How can you smile?

Mother.

What?

Don’t you think I’m right?

You begin to talk to me.

Get knotted! I don’t want to talk to you at all.

Mother. Mother.

I... The other day,

I went too far to say those words

and made you upset.

See you next time.

I know I was wrong.

Snacks.

Do you know?

Yeah.

You won’t annoy me again?

Mother.

Now what?

I bought the hairpin for you.

What? You…

Did you buy the hairpin for me?

Yeah.

I loved it at first glance.

I thought you would look good wearing it.

Dongdong, it’s sweet of you to buy the hairpin for me.

I must look good wearing it.

Yeah.

Mother.

Um…

The other day,

I said those words

wasn’t because I didn’t want you to mind my business.

I’d like you to do that.

But sometimes it just upset me

when you don’t listen to me.

I grew up now.

I have my own thoughts sometimes.

I hope we can exchange our minds.

I hope you can believe me.

Come again.

Good girl.

My daughter grew up.

I believe you.

No.

When... when have you

changed back into this outfit?

I wore dresses to please you.

I didn’t want you

- to be mad at me. - Since you know it makes me happy,

why have you changed back?

I...

I like you to dress like that.

You look so nice in beautiful dresses.

Didn’t we agree that

we should exchange our minds

on what I wear and what I do?

I won’t exchange minds with you.

Look at your dark clothes.

- Look at your hairstyle. - Don’t worry.

Enough, mother.

- It hasn’t been easy for me. - Calm down, mother.

- I go about begging for help - I... no...

- to find you… - I... I’m not…

- I’m always worried about you. - I…

What should you do?

Your father cares for nothing.

Mother, enough.

Let’s go home.

Change your clothes when we get home.

Yeah.

Wear what I tell you to.

Sure.

East Market

Who is it?

Commandery Princess Jia’nan and Commandery Prince.

Your Grace,

you can go in, of course.

But Mr. Li doesn’t have a pass.

I’m sorry.

Now you see,

my husband is with me.

Please don’t make things difficult for me.

I’m doing as I was ordered.

You should listen to my orders, too,

shouldn’t you?

Of course.

Li Qian, the Superintendent,

is my husband.

I am his pass.

I don’t care who has given you the orders,

if you shut him out again,

you’ll get punished. Do you understand?

Yes. Yes.

I was rude last night.

Please forgive me, Mr. Li.

Never mind.

What should we do?

How do we explain it to His Majesty?

Are you a fool?

Who do you think Commandery Princess Jia’nan is?

We can’t afford to offend her.

I feel like I’m a donkey in a lion’s hide.

How so?

I think I was too gentle to him.

No, next time I’ll help you to vent your spleen.

Cool down.

I appreciate

your kindness.

I come late for some reason.

I hope Grandmother will excuse me.

You’re busy with official duties, yet you’re still thinking about me.

It’s good that you come.

Grandmother, how do you feel today?

Much better.

Maybe it’s because

I haven’t seen you for a long time.

As soon as I see you today,

I’m so pleased that I get well.

OK, I won’t leave the palace, then.

I’ll stay with you.

You should ask for your husband’s permission.

I don’t want you to stay with me.

I look forward to seeing my great grandson.

I cannot bear to leave you.

Baoning is still in need of recuperation.

Grandmother, don’t worry about that.

Um.

You left in a hurry.

Don’t stay in the palace for long.

Baoning, go back with your husband to Bingzhou earlier.

His Majesty arrives.

I sent for him.

Grandmother.

Your Majesty.

I was telling Baoning,

the guards at the Gate of Divine Might

should be disciplined.

Baoning came to

visit me with her husband,

not expecting he was shut out.

Your Majesty, don’t you think

they were intended to despise me?

Stand up.

- Thank you, Your Majesty. - Yes.

Grandmother.

You’re right.

I will have them disciplined.

Um.

Baoning.

Yes.

I get well now.

You leave the palace and go back with your husband today.

Baoning, sit down.

Grandmother, Baoning has just come back.

Why don’t you let her stay for a few more days?

She can accompany you for longer.

Baoning is married into the Li family.

She doesn’t belong to the palace any more.

It’s not appropriate for her to live in the palace.

Moreover, don’t some people think

it’s against the rules that she brings her husband?

In that case, you should return to Bingzhou early,

lest it gives people excuses.

Grandmother, you’re right.

We’d better leave now.

So long, Your Highness.

So long, Your Majesty.

Goodbye.

Um.

Gate of Divine Might

I ask both of you to come

to have a cut-and-dried talk.

How’s the preparation

of the Birthday Ceremony going?

Your Highness.

Are you still comparing prices?

Yes.

Show me the

comparison records.

Yes.

Self-cultivation for Long-term Stability

Have all the merchants

and price comparison of every item

been recorded?

Yes, Your Highness.

Your Highness, you…

The Ministry of Rites neglects its duty.

The comparison records vanished all of a sudden

due to improper safekeeping.

If someone presents a memorial of complaint to the throne…

I…

How will you explain to His Majesty?

Please show mercy!

I can let it pass.

But I have a question.

Can you start purchasing now?

Sure. Sure.

I’ll start now.

Your Highness,

I just remembered

I have an important thing to do with the Imperial Household Department.

Please excuse me.

Sir, what’s the hurry?

Aren’t your department checking the stock?

What’s the important thing that needs you to deal with yourself?

I... No, I…

Greetings, Your Highness.

Um.

You may rise.

Your Highness.

Please answer.

Can you start to allocate the utensils now?

I... I am at your disposal.

She’s got quite a few tricks.

What’s the use of you all?

You can’t even tell a lie.

What’s the point of supporting you?

Your Majesty, please calm down.

It was our fault.

Please forgive us.

What should we do now?

What else can you do?

Just do what you should do.

Dismiss.

- Yes. Your Majesty. - Yes. Your Majesty.

Du Sheng. Du Sheng.

Go to check my private treasury

and find out how much silver I have.

Private…

Use it for disaster relief.

Private treasury?

Your Majesty…

Cut the crap. Just go.

Your Grace, how’s the Grand Empress Dowager’s condition?

She has recovered.

Here, eat while it’s warm.

Good then.

Darling,

what’s wrong?

Have some food.

I have no appetite.

Why didn’t I see Dongdong?

Where has she been?

Forget about her.

Since Dongdong

started to help in the Charity House,

we’ve barely seen her every day.

I don’t know

when she could get married.

Mother, look.

Isn’t it the pair of red agate earrings

I lost in Li’s Mansion

in the capital?

Yeah.

Thank goodness.

Baoning, you’re so considerate.

How did you find them?

Did you make a detour

to the mansion just to find them?

Mother, Baoning and I spent the night

there yesterday.

Ah?

Really?

Why...

why did you spend the night there?

You’re embarrassing them.

Go to ask

the cooks

to cook more nourishing soup

that prevents miscarriage for Her Grace.

Oh.

Qian, your trip to the capital

was a great harvest.

Yeah.

Surely it was.

Please excuse me.

She is shy.

That’s a great harvest.

Yeah.

Are you tired?

OK, go to register there,

then you can have a rest.

Yeah. Okay.

Are you alone?

Yes.

OK, go to register there.

- OK. - Go ahead.

Put it here.

Aunt, are you alone?

Here.

Thanks.

Give him a hand.

- Give me this. - Give him a hand.

Go ahead, Aunt.

Have you been well fed recently?

Yes.

Fire, fire!

Someone help! Put out the fire!

What’s up?

Aunt, what’s wrong?

The fire won’t burn you.

- It’s just a bonfire to boil water. - Put it out. Put it out.

Put it out.

Come on, don’t be afraid.

Come on, let me help you.

Fire.

Shall we go and have a rest?

Fire.

Let’s go.

Is there something wrong with her?

She was just fine.

Look at her.

Since the establishment of the Charity House,

Young Master’s reputation has been rising day by day.

Yeah.

The disaster victims that crowd into Bingzhou

not only get a shelter,

but also make a living

with the help of the Charity House.

Strong men work in the fields.

Women have sewing work.

In that aspect,

the Li family have solved

a difficult problem for the imperial court.

Of course.

Commandery Princess Jia’nan has made great contributions

in Young Master’s achievements.

Yeah.

She has done

a decent thing.

First, she has helped the victims.

Second, she has won public praise.

The most estimable thing is

she has attributed

all her credit to Qian.

Sure.

Qian is so lucky

to have such a good wife.

He has won glory for our ancestors.

Ultimately, it’s because you’ve brought him up properly.

You have a good son

and a good daughter-in-law.

Um.

I heard Uncle wants to see me.

Um.

Do you know the establishment

of the Charity House?

Her Grace cherished great righteousness to relieve the victims.

Such an achievement

has been spread all over the city.

Yeah.

Since the establishment of the Charity House,

the respectable squires and merchants

have made generous donations.

People think

the Charity House is founded by our family.

But we know clearly

the start-up fund

was allotted by Her Grace

from her dowry.

Her Grace is dedicated to the people.

As her father-in-law, I can’t just look on and do nothing.

So I want you

to withdraw all the silver

that I gave you for the need of turnover

from the bank.

Buy some rice and cotton

and send those to the Charity House.

Winter is coming.

To spend this winter,

they need 5,000 dans of rice

and 4,000 jins of cotton at least.

You have connections and many friends.

I’ll put you in charge of it.

Moreover, you should help more

with the things in the Charity House.

Don’t let Her Grace work too hard.

I will live up to your trust.

Um.

I put all the silver into the underground bank.

I’m afraid I can’t withdraw a penny now.

Miaorong,

Uncle gave me the money for the need of turnover.

Now he wants me to use it

to purchase supplies for the Charity House.

If the supplies can’t be in place,

when Uncle questions me,

neither you nor I can bear the responsibility.

I thought it was more important.

You just need it for disaster relief.

I remember

you have some spare money.

Why don’t you use that first?

As soon as I withdraw the money,

I’ll fill the gap for you.

I’m afraid it doesn’t work.

Uncle asked me to purchase

4,000 jins of cotton and 5,000 dans of rice.

If there’s short weight,

Uncle must hold me accountable.

There’s a well-doer surnamed Zhou in the neighboring county

who has hoarded over 10,000 dans of moldy rice.

I heard by paying him a little money, he’ll let your workers

move the rice out.

For the victims,

it’s hard enough

to have a hot meal.

Moldy rice just tastes not that good.

They can still be well fed.

Cotton

isn’t a problem at all.

We can mix some sand in it.

Nobody will find it out

without looking carefully.

How can I do that?

If someone finds it out…

If both of us don’t say,

no one will find out.

Lin, I know I’ve got you

into trouble.

If you’re afraid

to take the responsibility,

I’m going to see Uncle Li now

and take all the blame myself.

Hey.

I’ll do something about it.

I’ll help you to make up

the deficit as soon as possible.

Chuan.

Chuan. What’s wrong?

Chuan. What’s wrong?

Chuan.

Chuan. Wake up. Chuan.

What happened to him?

Chuan.

Chuan.

- Chuan. - Chuan. Chuan.

What happened?

My son has felt unwell in the stomach

since last night.

I thought something he ate

caused him an upset stomach.

Just now,

he suddenly vomited and sweated a lot

before he passed out.

- Chuan. - Poor kid.

Did he eat something unclean?

I got it.

- Chuan. - It must be the rice we recently eat.

Wake up, Chuan.

As you say so,

- I also think there’s something wrong. - Chuan, wake up.

The rice isn’t so fresh as before.

It has a musty smell, too.

Chuan.

Chuan.

Why is your body so cold, Chuan?

Chuan.

Yes.

Son.

He’s not breathing.

Chuan!

Baoning. Baoning. Baoning.

Something’s wrong.

What’s up?

People died in the Charity House.

What’s going on?

A child called Chuan

had eaten moldy rice porridge

that caused diarrhea and sickness.

When I rushed there with the doctor,

he already died.

The doctor said, under normal circumstances,

moldy rice only causes diarrhea and vomiting.

But it will kill those who have

gastrointestinal problems.

How did moldy rice get in the Charity House?

I don’t know, either.

I’m afraid someone would make an issue of it,

so I lose no time coming to inform you.

Well,

you go to the Charity House as soon as possible

to confirm

if there is really moldy rice.

Yes.

Yes.

A life for a life. Debts must be paid.

A little child died.

How can you hide in the house and shut the door on us?

My poor son.

- Give me back my son. - Come out. Come out!

- Quiet, quiet, quiet - Come out!

Everyone, be quiet.

Listen to me.

Folks,

let’s decide which side is right.

The poor child

was less than six years old.

He died under the persecution of the Charity House.

Come out!

Quiet, quiet.

Do you know the Charity House

is funded by Commandery Princess Jia’nan

of the Li Family?

Outwardly,

the Charity House

offers the victims a place to eat and live.

- But in fact, - My poor child.

she accumulated wealth and filled her own pockets

in the name of the House.

She only took out a small part to help the victims.

To save money,

she purchased moldy rice in large quantities,

which killed Chuan who had a bad stomach.

A life for a life!

- Enough. Enough. - A life for a life!

Everybody, calm down.

Let’s have a talk.

Give me back my son.

Go. Let’s go.

Madam.

You must give us an explanation.

Calm down, everyone.

Madam,

we understand your pain of losing your son.

But every injustice has its perpetrator.

It has nothing to do with our madam.

Really.

The one who deserves to be attacked

is the initiator of evil.

No. No.

- I don’t care about the initiator. - Give me back my son.

All I know is the thing

has a lot to do with your family.

- You’re a family. - I…

You can shield each other.

Our lives are worthless.

Even though it’s true,

they can’t treat us like animals,

right?

Yes. That’s right.

Throw!

You... you’re absolutely lawless.

A life for a life.

You’re lawless.

Madam.

Stop it!

Stop! Stop!

Are you all right, Mother?

Your Grace, what’s the matter?

- You don’t stay at home as we ask. - They’re of the same batch.

You insist on establishing the Charity House.

Great.

Now people died.

The victims make trouble at our door.

Tell me,

don’t you have to find a way to solve the problem?

I don’t care.

If it continues,

people would think someone from our family died.

Murderer, give us an explanation.

- Madam, anger is harmful to health. - We can’t just let them go.

- Take care of yourself. - A life for a life.

Enough.

- Your Grace, see for yourself. - A life for a life.

They’re making a terrible scene.

A life for a life.

Even though you want to earn a reputation,

you should think of the family.

You’ve got Madam in trouble.

Even Qian’s name is blackened.

Don’t try to get away with it.

Don’t let them get away.

Before the truth is found out...

Don’t let them get away.

...don’t try to blame it on me.

Give us an explanation.

A life for a life. A life for a life.

Yes. A life for a life.

A life for a life.

Folks,

I’m so sorry

something like that happened.

Though apologies won’t bring the dead back to life,

I sincerely

apologize to you.

The only purpose of the Li Family to establish the Charity House

is to offer people

who don’t have clothes and food

a place to live.

I already know about the moldy rice.

I’ve sent someone to investigate it.

I hope you can give me a few days.

I promise to give you

a satisfactory explanation.

No.

A life for a life.

No.

- Life for life. - Stop. Stop.

What’s the point of all the sweet words?

After the victims eat moldy rice,

they begin to vomit and have watery stools.

Their health gets much worse.

With poor health,

they can’t work.

Without work, they can’t make money.

Without money,

they don’t get enough food.

Tell me, what will you do with it?

Yeah, what will you do with it?

Don’t worry, everyone.

Later,

we’ll make a list.

All the people who ate moldy rice

and haven’t recovered

don’t have to work.

We don’t believe you.

We don’t believe you.

Your Grace.

Your original intention of establishing the Charity House may be good.

But can you have a little conscience

over the widows of the soldiers

that died in the battle?

Yes. She’s right.

Yes. She’s right.

They don’t treat us like humans.

Yes, we’re bullied because we have no relationship.

How can you treat us so badly?

Yes.

Look at this.

What’s this?

Inside the cotton-padded clothes distributed by the Charity House,

half is sand.

How can they give out such things?

If we wear the clothes

made of such cotton,

won’t we freeze to death in winter?

Yes. We will freeze to death.

Give us an explanation.

Yes. Give us an explanation.

- We want an explanation. - Do you try to kill us?

We want an explanation.

Either moldy rice

or cotton mixed with sand,

until today,

I’ve never heard of that.

But as the founder,

when such an accident happened,

I won’t keep out of the affair.

Go ahead.

Yes.

Chuan died suddenly.

I know exactly how you feel.

Losing children at the old age

is the greatest pain in the world.

Other people will be as sad as you.

But I hope you can give me a few days.

I won’t let Chuan hold a grievance after death.

Silver.

- This is silver. - So much silver.

Look, so much silver.

Get a coffin for your son.

Lay him to rest.

I hope you can be my witnesses.

Here are 5,000 taels of silver.

It will be used to purchase rice and cotton.

If this happens again,

I’ll take all the responsibilities.

We can rest assured, then.

Yes.

You must keep your word.

Right.

You are a smart guy.

You know what to do.

Wait to see a good play.

Folks, did you hear her?

Her Grace shows mercy

and gives us silver.

Folks, grab the silver.

Hurry.

Don’t snatch.

- Don’t snatch. - There will be nothing left later.

- Don’t snatch. - Don’t snatch, everyone.

Unruly people.

- We’ve spent so much money… - What are you doing? Don’t snatch.

Slow down there.

Don’t snatch.

Don’t snatch.

Your Grace, be careful.

Step back.

- Hurry. - Step back.

Step back. Step back.

Whoever takes the lead in making trouble

will be arrested.
