[Episode 2]
21
00:01:38,310 --> 00:01:39,930
Seriously!
22
00:01:39,930 --> 00:01:41,910
Ru Feng is still young and naive.
23
00:01:41,910 --> 00:01:44,780
I think that caning him a dozen times
24
00:01:44,780 --> 00:01:46,430
is already punishment enough for him.
25
00:01:46,430 --> 00:01:48,540
You make it sound so easy.
26
00:01:50,430 --> 00:01:52,200
Ru Feng,
27
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,180
when doing business with Zhang Biao, did you check his background?
28
00:01:55,180 --> 00:01:57,470
Isn't he just a merchant from Guangzhou?
29
00:01:57,470 --> 00:02:00,180
He absolutely isn't just some merchant from Guangzhou.
30
00:02:00,180 --> 00:02:03,330
He's a pirate from Southeast Asia!
31
00:02:06,860 --> 00:02:08,430
What?
32
00:02:16,890 --> 00:02:20,430
This time, you've made a big mess.
33
00:02:20,430 --> 00:02:23,350
His Majesty has banned anything associated with the ocean, let alone doing business.
34
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:26,410
If anyone takes in someone from Southeast Asia,
35
00:02:26,410 --> 00:02:28,420
they'll all be beheaded.
36
00:02:28,420 --> 00:02:31,530
I just wanted to make some money, but I didn't think it'd turn out to be like this.
37
00:02:31,530 --> 00:02:34,760
What should I do? Mom, what should I do? What to do?
38
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:39,670
Eldest Mistress... Eldest Mistress?
39
00:02:40,970 --> 00:02:42,840
To save the Ren family,
40
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:44,840
there's only one way.
41
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,370
Go to ask Uncle Qi
42
00:02:48,370 --> 00:02:53,130
and have him remove Ren Ru Feng from the Ren clan.
43
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,650
Eldest Mistress...
44
00:02:57,650 --> 00:03:00,390
Eldest Mistress... Eldest Mistress, I beg you!
45
00:03:00,390 --> 00:03:02,450
I beg you to save my son.
46
00:03:02,450 --> 00:03:04,350
I only have this one son.
47
00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:07,910
If... If something happens to him, I won't want to live, either.
48
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:09,850
Eldest Mistress!
49
00:03:10,370 --> 00:03:14,050

- Eldest Mistress, I beg you.
- Second Mother...
53
00:03:25,940 --> 00:03:28,420
Eldest Mistress, I beg you.

- Second Mother... Second Mother!
- Mother! Mother!
57
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,770
Mother!
58
00:03:47,740 --> 00:03:51,790
Doctor, my mother's been asleep for so long and still hasn't woken up. What exactly is going on?
59
00:03:51,790 --> 00:03:54,870
Second Master, let's talk outside.
60
00:03:57,220 --> 00:03:58,610
Come!
61
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,320
Eldest Master, Eldest Mistress, Second Master,
62
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,840
it seems that she's suffered a stroke.
63
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,870
- It also seems to be—
- A stroke?
64
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:19,900
My mother has always been very healthy so how could she have a stroke?
65
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,220
This...
66
00:04:22,220 --> 00:04:24,930
This... This isn't right.
67
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,300
Let's do this!
68
00:04:28,300 --> 00:04:31,150
Let me give you a prescription for you to try.

00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,690
Shu Fang.
70
00:05:09,630 --> 00:05:11,210
Eldest Master.
71
00:05:12,290 --> 00:05:15,490
- Call him out here.
- Yes.
72
00:05:19,810 --> 00:05:21,440
Second Master.
73
00:05:22,140 --> 00:05:23,980
Eldest Master is here to see you.
74
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,480
Big Brother.
75
00:05:40,270 --> 00:05:42,360
Look at you, look at you!
76
00:05:42,870 --> 00:05:44,570
What good things can I say about you?
77
00:05:44,570 --> 00:05:47,530
Big Brother, I was wrong.
78
00:05:47,530 --> 00:05:49,500
Where were you wrong?
79
00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:53,780
Do you still remember?
80
00:05:53,780 --> 00:05:57,000
Back in the day, how our father lead the fleet from the death's door to safety?
81
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,100
In order for the Ren clan to win lead weaver of the Suzhou's four biggest weaving families?
82
00:06:01,100 --> 00:06:03,150
There's nothing wrong with trying to make money.
83
00:06:03,150 --> 00:06:04,810
But as a human being, other than making money,
84
00:06:04,810 --> 00:06:07,950
the more important thing is to take responsibility and own your actions.
85
00:06:08,780 --> 00:06:11,030
Just think! To earn this bit of money,
86
00:06:11,030 --> 00:06:14,790
you've created how much trouble for our Ren family?
87
00:06:14,790 --> 00:06:16,790
Do you understand?
88
00:06:24,110 --> 00:06:26,380
When will you grow up?
89
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:30,500
Eldest Master.
90
00:06:30,500 --> 00:06:32,040
Go on.
91
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,290
- Eldest Master.
- What is it?
92
00:06:41,180 --> 00:06:42,610
Ru Yi is here.
93
00:06:42,610 --> 00:06:44,260
I tried to chase her off but she won't budge.
94
00:06:44,260 --> 00:06:46,910
So I took her to the study.
95
00:06:54,180 --> 00:06:57,590
Eldest Master, Eldest Mistress cut off the allowance going to Shantang Street.
96
00:06:57,590 --> 00:07:02,040
She said we're an eye sore so there's no need to spend the Ren family's money.

Nevermind!
102
00:07:36,020 --> 00:07:38,440
I'll tell her myself.
103

There's no one in the room now,

00:07:45,940 --> 00:07:48,460
Concubine Madam can wake up now.
(TN: literally "Aunt-grandma." In this show, Concubine Madam for a concubine of previous generation.)
105
00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:52,940
If you really don't wake up,
106
00:07:52,940 --> 00:07:55,520
I'll stick you with the needles then.
107
00:08:02,910 --> 00:08:06,500
Eldest Mistress, how did you know?
108
00:08:06,500 --> 00:08:10,490
After watching Doctor Hu, I figured you were fine.
109
00:08:17,020 --> 00:08:20,300
I also had no other way to avoid the situation.
110
00:08:20,300 --> 00:08:23,930
I don't want to see my son die.
111
00:08:23,930 --> 00:08:26,990
Concubine Madam, you're also an elder in this family.
112
00:08:26,990 --> 00:08:29,010
Think about it! If second uncle had made this mistake,
113
00:08:29,010 --> 00:08:33,670
if our grandparents were still alive, don't you think they'd expel him, too?
114
00:08:35,290 --> 00:08:37,090
Yes.
115
00:08:37,610 --> 00:08:40,900
Second Uncle's money, half of it is from you.
116
00:08:40,900 --> 00:08:44,620
If I use this to also separate you from the clan,
117
00:08:44,620 --> 00:08:47,490
then wouldn't that be justified as well?
118
00:08:47,490 --> 00:08:48,900
Yes.
119
00:08:48,900 --> 00:08:51,370
Then why did you do this?

I beg you, please save my son.

isn't it also like sacrificing their life?

When our grandparents were still alive, they set aside some provisions for you and second uncle.
(TN: Chinese Culture - She calls her younger brother-in-law the way her children would.)

the account books were recorded clearly.
136
00:10:30,980 --> 00:10:33,960
This should be enough for you and second uncle.
137
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,570
I originally planned to take this out

00:10:36,570 --> 00:10:38,250
for second uncle's marriage.

I gave you this favor today.

You also need to promise me one thing.

Tell me.

From now on, no matter if it’s you or your son,

if you side with Zeng Bao Qin on any words or matters,
147
00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:13,600
then don't blame me for being heartless.
148
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,700
Eldest Mistress,
149
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,830
how much longer do I need to fake my illness?
150
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,800
Second uncle is so ill behaved,

00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,400
but treats you with filial piety.
152
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,000
If you're ill, he'll stay home to take care of you.
153

He won't go out nor misbehave.

00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,600
Therefore, when and how well you want to recover,
155
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:56,900
are entirely your call.

Old master and old mistress left them with you.
159
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,710
Firstly, it’s because they knew you were a selfless person,
160
00:12:27,710 --> 00:12:29,600
you wouldn't confiscate the assets.
161
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:32,400
Secondly, it's to protect you against those two.

176
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,600
She came here crying and said a few words to eldest master,
177
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,000
and then, eldest master wanted to leave immediately.
178
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:17,800
Quickly come!
179
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,400
- Eldest Master, are you going somewhere?
- What do you want now?
180
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,700
Morning greetings to Eldest Mistress.
181
00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:37,000
All of Eldest Master's personal money is in that box, isn't it?
182
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:39,100
You blocked Shantang Street’s expense allowance.
183
00:13:39,100 --> 00:13:42,420
I'm subsiding them with my own money, is there a problem with that?
184
00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:47,370
Give it to me!
185
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:52,000
- Let go of it!
- This belongs to the eldest master.
186
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,200
Qiao’er, send them out!
187
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,600
In the future, without my permission,
188
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:00,100
no one is allowed to let anybody from Shantang Street enter my house!
189
00:14:03,500 --> 00:14:06,700
- Go!
- I can walk on my own.
190
00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:11,800
We still haven't resolved second master's problem.
191
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,200
The Ren Family is at risk internally and externally.
192
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,000
Eldest Master, you’ve time to sympathize with your concubine?
193
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,200
Shu Yan, guard the study room.
194
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,500
Eldest master and I have something to discuss, no one is allowed to come in.
195
00:14:22,500 --> 00:14:24,100
Got it!

197
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,200
Is there an end to this?
198
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,400
Cui Xi, I didn't inform you beforehand
199
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,600
about settling Bao Qin on Shantang Street.
200
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,400
That was my mistake.
201
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:47,630
I've already thought it through.
202
00:14:47,630 --> 00:14:50,800
From now on, all the expenses of Shantang Street will go through my private accounts.
203
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,700
That should be fine, shouldn't it?
204
00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:00,400
Since Eldest Master doesn't want to look at it, then I'll tell you.
205
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,400
Zeng Bao Qin is alone on Shantang Street,
206
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,800
along with with two servant girls and a few old worker ladies.
207
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:07,700
One month of living expenses already costs 20 liang.
208
00:15:07,700 --> 00:15:10,800
In addition, there were expenses for things such as brushes, ink, ink stones, calligraphy, painting, gu qin, etc.
209
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:13,200
This ranged from tens to hundreds of liang.
210
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:16,200
Second Mother has watched over the East Courtyard and harvested oil for decades.
211
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,000
One month's expenses was only 2 liang of silver.
212
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,500
Do I need to say more?
213
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,500
This... how is it so much?
214
00:15:41,300 --> 00:15:43,000
The Ren clan is large and successful,
215
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,600
but most of it is shops, fields, and silk workshops.
216
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,800
To spend as lavishly as she does,
217
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,600
what if one day we urgently need money for an emergency?
218
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,400
Would we need to sell our land and shops?
219
00:15:53,300 --> 00:15:55,000
Eldest Master, do you believe or not,
220
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:56,800
that as long as one rumor arises about the Ren Family
221
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,600
saying that we don't have enough money,
222
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:00,400
those money laundering and debt collecting shops
223
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,300
could all break down our door.
224
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,200
In the past, the Zeng Family was so impressive.
225
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,000
Being the Third Magistrate of Suzhou, even a mountain of gold or sea of silver was still nothing to them.
226
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,200
But what about now?
227
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:13,600
Only Zeng Bao Qing, a weak woman, is left.
228
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,600
However, is she really a weak woman?
229
00:16:20,100 --> 00:16:22,000
What are you trying to say?
230
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:23,600
I just want to remind you.
231
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:26,800
You keep saying you two will be a pair for the rest of your life,
232
00:16:26,800 --> 00:16:28,800
together in life and death with a deep emotional connection.
233
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:31,600
However, have you considered that Zeng Bao Qin went to prison,
234
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:34,000
she spent five years in that courtyard,
235
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,200
and her entire family died but only she survived?
236
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,200
Is this Zeng Bao Qin the same Zeng Bao Qin from before?
237
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,800
Today, she's following you,
238
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,400
is it only because of her previous affection for you?
239
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,400
Eldest Master, if a disaster befalls the Ren family... knock on wood,
240
00:16:53,500 --> 00:16:56,400
will she really live and die with you?
241
00:16:58,030 --> 00:17:00,100
Of course, she will.

- I ha—
- Ru Feng colluded with water bandits

to sell off the raw silk that was originally meant to make Kesi.
265
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,600
He was caught by the officials.
266
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:33,000
Colluding with the Southeast Asia water bandits
267
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,300
is a huge legal case that will result in possession confiscation and family extermination.
268
00:18:35,300 --> 00:18:37,400
The Ren Family is done for.
269
00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:39,500
Everything's done for.

00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,000
How could this happen?

Regardless of what happens,
274
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,000
we'll be together, won't we?

00:20:11,300 --> 00:20:12,900

00:20:19,140 --> 00:20:21,290
- Miss.
- Is everything packed?
277
00:20:21,290 --> 00:20:23,800
All set! Let's quickly leave.
278
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,100
Miss, let's hurry.
279
00:20:29,100 --> 00:20:32,000
When day breaks, we won't be able to leave.
280
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,900
We can run away,
281
00:20:33,900 --> 00:20:36,400
but what about eldest master?
282
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:40,400
But second master caused such a big problem, the entire family will fall with him.
283
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,670
Miss, in the prison, being alive is worse than being dead.
284
00:20:42,670 --> 00:20:45,800
Do you still want to go back to it a second time?
285
00:21:38,710 --> 00:21:40,420
Why are they outside?
286
00:21:40,420 --> 00:21:42,580
I don't know.
287
00:22:04,630 --> 00:22:06,140
I...
288
00:22:06,140 --> 00:22:08,500
You and I are childhood sweethearts.
289
00:22:09,130 --> 00:22:11,370
We'll live and die together.
290
00:22:11,370 --> 00:22:14,260
You said that you wouldn't beg for anything.
291
00:22:14,260 --> 00:22:16,980
Even if your body were torn apart and your bones crushed,
292
00:22:16,980 --> 00:22:19,540
you would still accompany me and still be my partner.
293
00:22:22,500 --> 00:22:24,080
I...
294
00:22:48,030 --> 00:22:50,800
So it turns out that in your heart,
295
00:22:51,570 --> 00:22:54,520
I'm not worth as much as these yellow and white things.
(TN: Reference to the color of gold and silver - i.e. material things)
296
00:22:57,660 --> 00:23:00,880
Eldest Master, it's not like that.
297
00:23:02,150 --> 00:23:04,640
Eldest Master, it's not like that.
298
00:23:10,900 --> 00:23:15,970
Eldest Master, have you heard of a box bed?
299
00:23:15,970 --> 00:23:18,220
If you speak, I'll listen.
300
00:23:18,220 --> 00:23:20,850
It's a large wooden cabinet.
301
00:23:21,410 --> 00:23:23,910
People are locked within it.
302
00:23:24,850 --> 00:23:29,360
One's neck and four limbs are all locked down.
303
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:32,570
While being locked inside, every day, one isn't given any food.
304
00:23:33,730 --> 00:23:36,290
One is given only a tiny bit of water.
305
00:23:36,290 --> 00:23:39,070
It's pitch black inside.
306
00:23:39,070 --> 00:23:41,500
One can't see anything.
307
00:23:41,500 --> 00:23:46,380
While being locked inside, one can't tell whether it's night or day.
308
00:23:46,380 --> 00:23:51,410
From that moment on, I promised that in this life...
309
00:23:51,410 --> 00:23:54,880
that in this life, no matter what else happens, no matter what, I cannot go back!
310
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:59,390
I cannot go back to living like that, Eldest Master!
311
00:24:03,750 --> 00:24:05,900
Eldest Master.
312
00:24:15,730 --> 00:24:20,470
Bao Qin, I know you've suffered greatly.
313
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,400
However, the Ren clan is in trouble.
314
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:27,770
If you leave like this without saying a word,
315
00:24:27,770 --> 00:24:30,190
what do you want me to think?
316
00:24:30,830 --> 00:24:32,820
Would it be that in the future,
317
00:24:32,820 --> 00:24:35,340
if the Ren Family faces any trouble or
318
00:24:35,340 --> 00:24:37,810
if something happens to me,
319
00:24:37,810 --> 00:24:40,370
you'd take these white and yellow things
320
00:24:40,370 --> 00:24:42,800
- and go far, far away?
- No.
321
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,540
- Do you have me in your heart?
- Yes.
322
00:24:46,180 --> 00:24:50,580
Eldest Master! Eldest Master, you are my life!
323
00:24:52,770 --> 00:24:55,290
If I were by myself,
324
00:24:55,290 --> 00:24:58,270
I could live any kind of life.
325
00:25:03,970 --> 00:25:08,500
However, I can't let our child suffer with us.
326
00:25:11,150 --> 00:25:13,250
You're pregnant?
327
00:25:16,110 --> 00:25:19,910
I missed my period last month.
328
00:25:19,910 --> 00:25:22,060
However, because tracking my cycle isn't always accurate,
329
00:25:22,060 --> 00:25:24,550
I didn't pay much attention.
330
00:25:24,550 --> 00:25:26,670
However, I missed this month as well.
331
00:25:26,670 --> 00:25:28,860
In addition, I crave sour things.
332
00:25:28,860 --> 00:25:33,240
So yesterday, I had Ru Yi bring back a doctor to check my pulse.
333
00:25:33,750 --> 00:25:35,640
The doctor said...
334
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:41,140
I'm already two months pregnant.
335
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:47,330
Bao Qin,
336
00:25:49,360 --> 00:25:52,270
I believe that you're pregnant.
337
00:25:53,620 --> 00:25:57,850
I also believe that you suffered a lot in the brothel and in prison.
338
00:25:58,500 --> 00:26:02,630
I do believe your affection for me.
339
00:26:05,180 --> 00:26:07,630
However, you hurt my heart.
340
00:26:08,220 --> 00:26:10,550
I know!
341
00:26:10,550 --> 00:26:13,830
Why didn't you tell me about your pregnancy earlier
342
00:26:13,830 --> 00:26:15,660
and are only saying it now?
343
00:26:15,660 --> 00:26:18,150
Eldest Master, today, I originally—
344
00:26:18,700 --> 00:26:20,520
Don't say anything else!
345
00:26:21,700 --> 00:26:24,390
The more you say,
346
00:26:24,390 --> 00:26:27,020
the more you hurt me.
347
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,370

Eldest Master! Eldest Master!
350
00:26:43,540 --> 00:26:45,550
Eldest Master!
351
00:26:47,990 --> 00:26:50,210
Let me think about it.
352
00:26:50,780 --> 00:26:53,050
I need to think this through.
353

Shu Yan.
354
00:26:57,730 --> 00:27:01,260
- Eldest Master.
- Go and lock the courtyard gate.
355
00:27:01,260 --> 00:27:03,630
Take good care of Concubine Mistress.
(TN: literally "Aunt-grandma." In here to distinguish with a concubine of previous generation, "Concubine Mistress" is used.)
356
00:27:03,630 --> 00:27:06,140
If Concubine Mistress takes one step out of this courtyard,
357
00:27:06,140 --> 00:27:08,090
I'll hold you accountable.
358
00:27:08,090 --> 00:27:09,520
Yes.

00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,620
Eldest Master. Eldest Master!
360
00:27:12,620 --> 00:27:14,980
Don't be mad at me, Eldest Master!
361
00:27:14,980 --> 00:27:17,680
- Eldest Master!
- Miss.
362
00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:20,260
Eldest Master!

Miss.
364
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:04,550
I've already sent Shu Yan to guard Shantang Street.
365
00:28:04,550 --> 00:28:06,620
The rest...
366
00:28:07,430 --> 00:28:10,300
we can figure out after Ru Feng's problem is resolved.
367
00:28:10,910 --> 00:28:15,040
I've also sent people to check out what's going on with Zhang Biao.
368
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,750
Good.
369
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,540
Tomorrow, I'll pay a visit to the weaving bureau
370
00:28:20,540 --> 00:28:22,580
and meet Lord Li.
371
00:28:25,930 --> 00:28:28,940
It's late, go to bed.

[Suzhou Weaving Bureau]
373
00:29:28,890 --> 00:29:32,080
Xue Tang, you rarely come to my residence.
374
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:33,560
Today, we'll have some good tea.
375
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,490
You should also taste the tea in my residence.
376
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,580
Good tea!
377
00:29:48,870 --> 00:29:52,100
Oh right! Did you notice
378
00:29:52,100 --> 00:29:55,870
that the price of raw silk has been increasing these past two years?
379
00:29:55,870 --> 00:29:59,980
There are rumors amongst the people saying that big households in Suzhou have been secretly hoarding goods
380
00:29:59,980 --> 00:30:02,410
to drive up the price of raw silk.
381
00:30:02,410 --> 00:30:04,760
We, the Weaving House, has been trying to investigate this,
382
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,400
but rather than finding the people who are hoarding goods,
383
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,250
we found another big issue.
384
00:30:11,250 --> 00:30:13,280
What is it?
385
00:30:14,630 --> 00:30:18,980
It's said there are water bandits in Southeast Asia who have violated the sea ban.
386
00:30:18,980 --> 00:30:23,770
They've been coming to Suzhou frequently to buy raw silk and inflate the price of raw silk.
387
00:30:23,770 --> 00:30:26,020
- Such a thing is happening?
- Right?
388
00:30:26,020 --> 00:30:29,390
There's a water bandit called Zhang Biao.
389
00:30:29,390 --> 00:30:33,330
He's always lied saying he's a merchant from Guangzhou.
390
00:30:33,330 --> 00:30:36,570
I heard he's pretty close with your second master.
391
00:30:36,570 --> 00:30:38,670
They're like brothers.
392
00:30:38,670 --> 00:30:42,270
Right now, if you're close with water bandits in the slightest,
393
00:30:42,270 --> 00:30:45,220
then even if it's just having a meal at the same table,
394
00:30:45,220 --> 00:30:48,410
those are deadly crimes.
395
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,320
Brother Zhao, don't you know our second master's personality still?
396
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:01,830
He doesn't scheme and is naive.
397
00:31:01,830 --> 00:31:04,040
Usually, he doesn't do anything important.
398
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,300
He just likes to make friends, drink, and be merry.
399
00:31:07,300 --> 00:31:11,370
If someone says he was jealous, got in a fight, and caused trouble,
400
00:31:11,370 --> 00:31:13,290
then I would believe it's him.
401
00:31:13,290 --> 00:31:17,110
If you're saying he did business with water bandits,
402
00:31:17,110 --> 00:31:20,250
he doesn't have the guts nor the skill.
403
00:31:21,950 --> 00:31:25,140
That's true! Second master wouldn't do that.
404
00:31:27,300 --> 00:31:31,330
There's a favor I must ask you.
405
00:31:31,950 --> 00:31:33,470
Lord Li, please tell me.
406
00:31:33,470 --> 00:31:35,800
Why are you calling me that?
407
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:39,060
The raw silk I ordered from your family,
408
00:31:39,060 --> 00:31:41,430
you must complete this order for me.
409
00:31:41,430 --> 00:31:44,780
Next month, I have to deliver it to a higher up in the capital.
410
00:31:44,780 --> 00:31:49,260
Rest assured! This gift that must be delivered to the capital,
411
00:31:49,260 --> 00:31:53,250
it represents your goodwill and also the dignity of my Qingyue Workshop.
412
00:31:53,730 --> 00:31:55,460
Have tea!
413
00:32:09,860 --> 00:32:11,470
You're back?
[Bring Honor to Ancestors and Benefit Future Generations]
414
00:32:16,220 --> 00:32:18,220
How was it?
415
00:32:18,220 --> 00:32:20,990
Lord Li was trying to probe with everything he said.
416
00:32:20,990 --> 00:32:24,700
I'm afraid this will be more difficult than we thought.
417
00:32:25,930 --> 00:32:28,010
There weren't any leads at the casino.
418
00:32:28,010 --> 00:32:30,800
But, there's an eighty percent chance that they're with Zhang Biao.
419
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:34,010
Otherwise, why would they disappear overnight without a trace?
420
00:32:34,010 --> 00:32:38,240
Could a mere character like Ren Ru Feng be enough to make them take such a risk?
421
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:41,690
Then do you mean their target is the Ren Family?
422
00:32:41,690 --> 00:32:43,780
These past few year, the price of raw silk has increased a lot.
423
00:32:43,780 --> 00:32:47,930
I heard early on that it was because the four large silk houses stored up their silk.
424
00:32:47,930 --> 00:32:52,350
Then if because of this Zhang Biao's case that causes for people to come for our Ren Family...
425
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:57,610
That won't do! We can't just sit here and do nothing.
426
00:32:57,610 --> 00:33:01,270
We must catch Zhang Biao before the government does.

if Eldest Master doesn't come to see me again,
440
00:35:07,530 --> 00:35:10,720

Ru Yi, I know you like Shu Yan.
448
00:35:55,740 --> 00:36:00,140
However, what good would it be to like him in secret?
449
00:36:00,140 --> 00:36:02,040
You should get him to like you, too.
450
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,550
This way, you can say whatever you want.
451
00:36:04,550 --> 00:36:06,780
You can ask him for any help as well.

Ru Yi.
453
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:14,050
Shu Yan, this is for you.

00:36:15,690 --> 00:36:17,590
For me?
455
00:36:29,170 --> 00:36:30,730
Taste it!

00:36:34,310 --> 00:36:36,380
What's going on, Miss Ru Yi?
457
00:36:42,090 --> 00:36:43,850
Is it so wrong?
458
00:36:44,710 --> 00:36:48,910
- Young Master Shu Yan, can you help me with something?
- Sure.
459
00:36:48,910 --> 00:36:52,230
- Then you—
- But eldest master won't let me talk and pass information.
460
00:36:52,230 --> 00:36:55,830
If Eldest Mistress found out, she would definitely scold me very badly.
461
00:37:04,650 --> 00:37:06,900
I just wanted you to pick out a magnolia for me.

00:37:06,900 --> 00:37:09,300
That's not okay either?
463
00:37:09,300 --> 00:37:11,760
Okay, I'll help you.
464
00:37:16,710 --> 00:37:20,190
We've looked for so long, but haven't found any clues as to where Zhang Biao might be.
465
00:37:20,190 --> 00:37:24,530
But, it just so happens that there's a place where we don't have a branch...
466
00:37:25,260 --> 00:37:27,450
Is it possible...
467
00:37:32,670 --> 00:37:34,240
Eldest Master.

- Yes.
