[Marvelous Woman]

[Episode 18]

Shu Mo, just tell me what you have to say. Don't be bashful like a girl.

Me? Am I being bashful?

If you really like Miss Shu Fang, just stop her from going to the other yard.

Shu Fang has her own ideas. How am I going to stop her?

On the other hand, my sister-in-law told me that

Mr. Wei can't survive this winter.

If I stop her, she will hate me.

She likes Mr. Wei so much.

I don't know if she likes Mr. Wei.

But you are real to her, Second Master.

Yours is true love.

My love

for Shu Fang is true love?

That's right. She rejected your marriage proposal. No only were you not mad at her,

you still think about her all the time.

Even if she marries Mr. Wei, I don't think you would care.

You would even keep the relationship going if you get the opportunity.

Even if I want to,

Shu Fang wouldn't agree to it.

She said she will only marry the one she loves.

But that's not how it is. She agreed to get married to you before.

Before? Before she wanted to just settle with me.

If she wanted to settle before, why can't she now?

I don't know!

Maybe it's because Mr. Wei is there.

She thinks she loves Mr. Wei more.

Just like how my big brother was so in love with Zeng Bao Qin.

No matter what my sister-in-law did, he couldn't see it.

Maybe that's how I am to Shu Fang.

Second Master, you really love Shu Fang, aren't you?

Go look over there.

[Tian Yi Shen Store]

Second Master.

What's going on, officer?

Second Master, the governor's office is going on patrol to find someone.

Did you see someone suspicious, Second Master?

Nope.

Sorry for the bother.

Officer, who are you trying to arrest?

It's ok to tell the Second Master.

We are searching for those who are breaking the Prohibition of Sea Trade,

and illegally selling raw silk to Japanese pirates.

Good night.

-The two of you, go search over there.
-Yes, sir.

-You guys, follow me.
-Thank you for your hard work!

Thank you for your hard work!

Let's go!

Zhang Biao is not with the pirates?

No. Our people interrogated the pirates we caught.

But they say they don't know Zhang Biao at all.

Did we catch those who sold raw silk?

No. Master, this is a big case.

I didn't expect people in Suzhou would disobey the prohibition.

The Eldest Mistress of Ren does not shoot her shot without a target.

She asked me to patrol all of a sudden,

she must had her own plan.

I don't know if I should say this.

Please, Mister.

The Eldest Mistress always sees Suzhou Weaving Bureau as her enemy.

You and Master Li of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau never intervene with each other.

But recently, I see both sides are starting a real war.

The Eldest Mistress of Ren is the one who runs the General Accounts Office. The whole Suzhou,

all the private silk studios

and the mulberry farmers all depend on her.

How could she not know who is selling raw silk?

She asked you to arrest people.

It probably means that the illegal raw silk seller is her enemy.

You are saying Suzhou Weaving Bureau is involved?

It's very possible.

If the Suzhou Weaving Bureau is really involved,

it will be the big case that will shock the whole South.

Li Zhao has been the Chancellor of Suzhou Weaving Bureau for nine years.

The must be a reason for it.

Master, don't forget what the Weaving Bureau is for.

It's ok. As long as we have the evidence, Li Zhao is only the tool.

Keep patroling.If you find the evidence, you will get a big reward!

-I'm on it.
-Go ahead!

Cao Wen Bin!

Lord, please dissipate your anger.

Only a few small lackeys were caught.

Didn't Ding Ron and Liu Yong also run away?

What's the use that those two ran away?

Cao Wen Bin is monitoring so tightly, where can we magically produce some silvers?

Lord, I think...

Enough. You go ahead and leave.

Go back to the weaving workshop and calmly live out the days. Remember.

Don't let people notice anything.

Lord, I understand.

Lord, Cao Wen Bin has relied on the support of the Governor of Liang Jiang.

When you go to Jiangyu again, I think

someone needs to show their face to suppress him.

Otherwise, he will keep looking for trouble in us.

Prepare to live the city tomorrow.

The the remaining affairs will be entrusted to you.

Lord, be rest assured.

Eldest Mistress. Li Zhao is going to Jiang Ning.

I'll send over these clothese I made to Mr. Wei.

The messenger that I sent to Jiang Ning along with the evidence that's recently collected,

are already on the way. Very soon the officialdom in Jiang Ning will know

Li Zhao failed in his mission.

Those higher-ups will probably think over whether they will keep using him.

This time, it will be enough for him to learn a lesson.

Why are you looking at me this way?

Do you think that I am too ruthless

to Li Zhan?

Why would I? Li Zhao has pushed you too much.

How can I always ask you to step back?

I just like seeing how you are showing your abilities.

Compared to how you usually suppress your temper,

you are even prettier and more real.

You like me to show my abilities?

But everyone like a gentle and elegant woman.

My official mother, Mistress Pan,

is complimented by everyone to be generous, gentle, and virtuous.

But I know how painful it is for her to live.

She forcefully suppressed her nature,

filled with anger and bullied the weak around her.

This distorted her gentle and benevolent nature.

In my eyes that is extremely ugly.

In this world, there is love and hate,

There is enmity and resentment.

Everyone in the world suffers.

Everyone is struggling to survive.

Naturally, everyone would have different temperaments.

You are innately kind. It is Li Zhao who forced you over the edge.

How could you be expected to always give in?

You are always so understanding towards me.

How is the fit? Does it look nice?

It looks nice.

When I was young on the boat, I heard the ocean waves everyday.

- You lived on a boat when you were young?
- Yes.

My father and I made a living by fishing by the ocean.

Since young, I followed my father out fishing in the ocean.

Even though life was peaceful, I was also free.

What happened next? How did you arrive at the Ren family?

Later on my parents fell ill one after the other.

We sold off basically everything in our house.

It was difficult to continue living.

When my father died,

he gave me this ring.

He said he saved the life of the master of the Ren family.

This ring is an object of trust.

He asked me to come here to seek help.

[Ren Residence]

Why is a little girl standing in front of the Ren mansion?

Why hasn't anyone come to fetch her?

Wow, the moon today is so round!

Stop the carriage!

Why are you here alone?

Do you need something?

My hands are dirty. Please don't touch me.

Don't be afraid.

Are you here at the Ren Residence for some reason?

I can help you.

I'm here to see the Old Master of the Ren Family. My father saved his life.

Your father saved the Old Master Ren?

- Then you're the daughter of his savior.
- Yes.

Let's go. Come inside with me.

Lady Zeng.

I didn't expect it was Sister Zeng who brought you into the Ren Family.

Baoqin and I seemed to have a very special bond with each other from the start.

I was a countryside girl.

I didn't know the rules. And I didn't know how to do music, chess, caligraphy or paintings.

When we first met, I felt ashamed

compared with Xuetang or Baoqin.

What happened afterwards?

After that, I learned weaving.

Weaving was the only thing that made me

feel more peace and happiness. I even felt that

I can create the heaven and the earth

♫ For you ♫

♫ My love, as beautiful as flowers ♫

♫ Time passes by as fleeting water ♫

Xiaolan. Why are you sitting here?

Sister Shu Fang. Eldest Mistress has been staying with Mr. Wei for a whole night.

Mr. Wei has been singing for a whole night.

He almost lost his voice. But I dared not go inside and interrupt them.

Don't you think you should talk to Mr. Wei about it?

He will deplete his health if he keeps doing this.

Just let them be. Sometimes,

you'll regret your whole life if you don't follow your heart while you still can.

Is it too boring to stay in the courtyard all day long?

If you like coming out for a trip, we can do this regularly.

It's not that I enjoy taking a trip.

I love watching the hustle and bustle of the mundane world.

Before I met you and Sister Zeng, I used to be weary of this world.

Weary of this world?

Yes.

I was immersed in the sorrow that my mom passed away,

thinking I was the one who made her die so early.

I almost wanted to deplete the rest of my life as much as I can,

so I can join her soon.

But sometimes, when I see in this world that

there are so many people struggling on,

I then felt that maybe

I should live on. Fortunately,

I had a little bit of faith.

And then I met you and Sister Zeng.

You made me see the bright side of this world.

What about now?

Now,

I just hate myself for not meeting you earlier.

Sister Zeng made me understand that

one should live on, no matter what happens.

And you made me realize

that one can live a life like yours.

There are so many constraints on women in this world.

You and Sister Zeng can live a life like this.

As a decent man, how can I

give up and drown myself in sorrow?

Even though it's late, Cuixi,

I still want to live a meaningful life with you.

Together, we'll watch the wintersweet

and then the blossom of the spring flowers.

We will. Spring will be here soon.

Be good. When I've sold the melon seed, we'll go home and I'll make some food for you.

Melon seeds! Melon seeds!

Shufang! Buy all her melon seeds.

And give her this cape as well.

Melon seeds!

Melon seeds for sale!

We'll take all your melon seeds.

Please take this cape back home too.

- Here's a piece of silver.
- Thank you so much, Lady.

Daughter, come here. Kneel down.

Thank you so much for your great kindness, Lady.

May I ask who your master is? Please tell me.

I'll tell everyone about her kind heart.

There's no need. Please go home with your daughter. We wish you all the best.

Thank you, Lady.

You did something kind. Why don't you let Shufang tell them your name?

I'd be better known as powerful than kind.

And I've done nothing more than buying her melon seeds. How is that being kind?

I'm just like her. We make a living by our skills.

I didn't do anything kind. And she didn't need my help.

Cuixi, now I understand why it was you

who started the General Accounts Office, but not anyone else.

I didn't think that much.

I just knew that the silk price shouldn't rise or fall too much.

Otherwise, silk producers and weavers will lose their livelihood.

I know that starting the General Accounts Office

made people of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau upset.

But if I don't try it, I'd feel that I won't live up to

the praise that people gave me, "No.1 Silk Weaver of Suzhou".

Li Zhao is trying to destroy not just the livelihood of the Ren Family alone.

But in the end, it was you

who took in all his anger and revenge.

Cuixi, it must be hard for you.

We'll throw Li Zhao out of the gate soon, right?

Cuixi.

I'm afraid we only have the winter flowers to watch together.

Don't think about anything sad that might happen.

Let's cherish the one by our side, and this moment in time.

We're together,

in a beautiful dream.

I just wish that this dream

can be peaceful and serene.

♫ Meeting again seemed to be like in the smoke of dreams ♫

♫ Too difficult to distinguish between genuineness and insincerity ♫

♫ Loved too deeply, feeling the sweetness of pain ♫

♫ It certainly isn't perfunctory ♫

♫ Who was the one entering Heaven or descending to Hades? ♫

♫ Like a kite with a broken string ♫

♫ Before spring could come, ♫

♫ Grey hair had replaced the rosy youth ♫

Spring has come.

Your tapestry of the "Mandarin Ducks Playing in Water" is also almost complete.

These are the mandarin ducks, which are also us.

The three immortalities that the scholars speak of,

I'm not looking forward to them.

However...

the immortality of being with you

is what I look forward to.

How things are right now is great.

On such a beautiful spring day,

with Cuixi by my side,

the peach blossoms outside the walls are blooming.

The water inside the canals have also turned green.

Tomorrow,

tomorrow will be a sunny day.

Cuixi,

come walk with me along river tomorrow.

Let's go back under the bridge

and listen to people gossip, okay?

In this world,

there are still many beautiful things.

Let's go see them... together.

Wei Liang Gong.

Wei Liang Gong?

Wei... Liang... Gong.

[Ren Residence]

Liang Gong.

Sister, don't worry.

I will definitely accompany and send him off well on his final journey.

Hurry back. It won't be good if others saw you.

- Let's go.
- Yes.

Eldest Mistress, let's go back.

Xiao Lan?

Come.

Sister Shu Fang, if Eldest Mistress continues not eating or drinking,

how can her health withstand it?

Give her a little more time. She still needs time to get over it.

Will she really get better?

Don't worry. She will.

[Precise Scenery]

Second Young Master.

Shu Fang.

Mr. Wei was a good man. Don't be too sad.

What I'm worried about is how Eldest Mistress will live her life moving forward.

It'll all pass.

Some people just leave first.

The people they leave behind have to continue living.

Just like how Big Brother disappeared for so many years, didn't sister-in-law also make it through?

As long as she takes it one day at a time, things will definitely get better.

[Precise Scenery]

Baoqin is my sister. My father died early when I was young.

My legal mother sold my birth mother to the brothel to help the family financially.

I was young and ignorant.

I didn't know where my birth mother went. I didn't understand mother's sufferings.

The son lost his mother. The mother lost her son.

How sad was that.

Now, I am seriously ill.

I'm afraid I won't have long to live.

I did not live up to my wish while I lived,

Why don't I just follow my heart after I die?

I have repaid my legal mother's debt of raising me this life.

As for my birth mother's debt in giving birth to me,

I will repay with my death.

Alas! The greatest virtue takes no physical form, a body is no more than a pair of worn-out shoes.

Today, I follow my mother to the other world to fulfill the fillial piety that I had no chance to suffice in this life.

It was my wish for a life time.

Please don't be sad.

I've been seeking for virtue, and now I've found the place to be.

Officer. Sorry to have kept you waiting.

Lady Shufang. Please tell the Eldest Mistress that my Master is asking to see her.

I'm so sorry. Eldet Mistress is not feeling well today. How about we visit him in a few days?

Lady Shufang, Eldest Mistress hasn't visited the Magistracy Office for quite some time now.

Advisor Shao asked me to deliver a message, saying that because of what Eldest Mistress said,

the Magistracy Office has been on patrol day and night.

Our people have been having a hard time patrolling amid storms and rain.

And the Ren Family is doing nothing but watching. Isn't that inappropriate?

Of course.

How about this? I've got some pieces of silver here.

Please take it back, and buy some food for the patrollers.

You've been working very hard. Please use it to reward yourselves.

Thank you so much, Lady Shufang.

But we can't let the Master wait.

Please ask the Eldest Mistress to get dressed up

- and set off soon.
- Okay.

- I'll see you later.
- Let me see you off.

Shufang, please go to the sacrificial shed first.

I'll be back as soon as I can.

Xiaolan. Change my clothes for me please.

[Suzhou Prefecture Office]

I've been busy managing the household these days, and didn't have a chance to pay my courtesy to you, Lord.

Please forgive me.

That's very polite of you, Eldest Mistress.

This is the new year's gift.

Especially prepared for the your wife.

Oh. That's so nice of you, Eldest Mistress.

Please have a seat.

I thought you were to busy at home to visit these days, Eldest Mistress.

There's nothing more important than your orders, Lord.

I know I can entrust important matters to you, Eldest Mistress.

Eldest Mistress.

Li Zhao is on a trip to Jiangning. Have you heard of it?

I'm afraid he's looking for trouble on me.

Is that so?

This rivalry between Li Zhao and I all resulted from you, Eldest Mistress.

Whether I can remain in the office will be decided this year. If something happens...

If you need us, Lord, the Ren Family will do our best to be at your service.

Great.

Thank you for offering to help, Eldest Mistress.

In a few months, my daughter will be getting married.

Eldest Mistress, your weaving and embroidery skill is nothing to be compared in Suzhou.

Please go to the back room later and select a few pieces of fine clothing for my daughter.

Congratulations, Lord. I will do my best.

Read the eulogy!

Kneel down!

Teacher Wei Lianggong

came to the Ren Residence

became my first teacher

and raised me as his pupil.

He taught me words of the wise,

and everyone in the Ren Residence

benefited from it.

Eldest Mistress, do you have other urgent things to do?

No, it's fine.

Here, please come this way.

My daughter was born on the year when the Lord passed the provincial examination.

She was pampered since childhood. And she was born in a good time.

Not to exaggerate it, she's never left her bed.

Ladies born in the river south are honored by not leaving her bed.

I haven't seen such a girl for a long time.

I'm surprised that Lady Cao was raised like this.

Indeed.

Mom. Who is she?

This is Eldest Mistress Ren from the Qingyue Workshop.

She's brought some clothing to make new clothes for you. Do you like it?

Please come over and have a seat.

My youngest daughter likes you. Her bed is very precious.

Anyone she doesn't like, she wouldn't allow them to touch it.

Come here.

Have a seat.

Nice to meet you, Lady Cao.

Do you like my little bed?

This bed looks so delicate. I'm sure someone put a lot of effort in it.

Yes. My father had it customized for me.

With this bed, I wish I can stay on it for the rest of my life.

When you get married, the bed will travel with you to your husband's house.

Eldest Mistress, please don't worry. We can definitely make it.

[Place of Former Teacher, Wei Lianggong]

Ren Family in Suzhou is here to see you off, Mr. Wei!

- Move the coffin to the graveyard!
- Move the coffin to the graveyard!
