[Marvelous Woman]

[Episode 27]

Big Brother.

Mother forced you and Bao Qin apart for our family,

which caused a lot of pain for you two.

It wasn't Mother.

It was me.

I chose the Ren Family

and gave up Bao Qin.

Do you remember how desperately

I wanted to find Bao Qin those years?

I've always admired you and Sister Zeng.

You understood each other and always know what the other person is thinking.

Bao Qin was loyal to me.

And I always felt that I owe her.

The pain and suffering she had to go through these years

were all my mistakes.

Shu Yan, what kind of person do you think Eldest Mistress is?

Eldest Master, Eldest Mistress and you are the same kinds of person.

The same kinds of person?

Eldest Mistress is just like you.

She's nice and fair.

I thought Cui Xi and I are different.

But then I realized that

she is like the other me in the mirror.

She is the other me who was forced to take on the responsibilities,

and uses seriousness and dicipline

to cover herself tightly.

The only difference is that she chose to face it with bravery. But me?

I've always struggled, felt conflicted,

and ran away from the problems, time after time.

Big Sister-in-law's tenacity

is incomparable in this world.

When Cui Xi and Bao Qin were both in front of me,

I realized that I couldn't make a choice.

After all these years, Cui Xi

fought by my side.

She became the family I need the most.

But what about Bao Qin? She is my lover.

I want Cui Xi to be my wife,

because she deserves it.

I could only had Bao Qin to be my concubine.

I wanted to take her and run far away.

We will be together for the rest of our lives.

I thought this is the perfect arrangement.

But when they started fighting,

I discovered that this arrangement makes both of them unfortunate.

I...

I couldn't face it.

Eldest Master!

Eldest Master!

Where are you?

Eldest Master!

Eldest Master!

I told myself

if Shu Yan finds me, I would to back home with him.

If Shu Yan can't find me, it's meant to be.

Shu Yan...

The years after that,

I hired a team of guards

and asked everywhere to find Zhang Biao's whereabouts.

I told myself

every day Zhang Biao is alive, the Ren Family will always be in danger.

I should've came back a long time ago.

There was one time, I was in a confrontation with Zhang Biao,

I got injured badly.

Mister.

Mister.

Mister!

I didn't expect it would take me three years

to stand up.

After while,

slowly,

started to fear going back again. Until one day...

You've been here for three years.

You have recovered and regained your health.

You may leave.

Only by facing your problems and experiencing life,

you may find the final answer.

So I came back.

Thank god I didn't let the mistake grow.

Cui Xi is fine.

Bao Qin had a boy for me.

Big Brother, I suggest you find time to

tell the sisters-in-law the whole truth

when they are in a better mood.

You've read too much book that you became stupid.

It's normal for a man to have three or four wives and concubines.

Why touble yourself?

Also, Big Sister-in-law and Little Sister-in-law are quite close, aren't they?

Three or four wives and concubines.

Greetings, Second Mistress.

Second Mistress, weren't you going to bring lunch for the Eldest and Second Master? Why are you...

not bringing it?

How are they deserve the lunch?

You must be hungry. You eat it.

I rather give it to the dogs than have them eat it.

That's not nice.

You are here, Eldest Master.

Bao Qin.

It's late. Let's go to bed early.

I'm sorry.

[Announcement]

The Inspector-general of Jiangsu is here to announce to the people according to the emperor's order.

Beware, governors.

The food you eat and the money you spent all came from the people's hard work.

As a governor, one should bring happiness and fairness to his people.

However, the Magistrate of Suzhou, Cao Wen Bin was cruel and misjudge a murder case,

which caused innocent folks ended up in prison.

The people's suffering was loud and was heard by the Imperial Court. The Emperor was furious.

He ordered to confiscate all of Cao Wen Bin's assets

and banish Cao Wen Bin and his wife to somewhere 1500 km away.

His servants will be sold.

He will be the caution tale for all governors.

Master,

I have to go.

Is there anything you would like to tell me, Master?

What should I say?

Should I say "the building was built,

the guests were invited,

then the building collapsed."?

Master, take care.

Wait for me here.

No, I have to go in with you.

He always has bad intentions.

It's ok.

Be careful then.

You are here.

Play chess with me.

Ok.

Little Sister, you are still like this after all these years.

You always use the black stone and make the first move without telling me anything.

That's true.

The first time I played chess with you,

you let me made the first move.

I'm used to it after all these years.

It's nice for you

to remember the first time we played chess.

When did you find out that I was going to kill Ren Xue Tang?

Six years ago.

Six years ago?

It's must've been hard for you to not tell this secret.

It wasn't easy.

When I first learned that you were going to kill Xue Tang,

I could not believe it.

I've always been looking at

this Master Li, who is doing so well in the officialdom, sitting in front of me,

and remember the young man, who always had a book in his hands

and the world in his mind.

I always thought to myself, are they the same person?

The olden days.

You are climbing the tree again.

Careful, Little Sister!

I'm fine! Brother Xue Tang will catch me from outside.

People should

think about the happy days more often.

Thinking about the time of our youth,

we were so happy and innocent,

and the hate in our hearts will be lessened.

Little Sister, you used to be glib and never let others win any arguments from you.

You used to look calm but were a cynic inside. But now,

you've changed.

Maybe it's because I figured out a couple of things.

When you figure things out,

you will be calmer and more in peace.

In peace?

I doubt that.

When you worked with Shen Cui Xi against me,

you never had any mercy

and your actions were all deadly.

So were you, Big Brother.

Every time you made a move, there would be blood.

Little Sister, there's something that has been bothering me.

Please, ask.

Shen Cui Xi and you are the wife and the concubine.

You two were meant to be enemies.

But after battling with each other,

the two of you because soulmates who protect each other with your lives. But me, the Big Brother who always helps your and takes care of you,

became nothing to you.

Ever since we were kids, you let me take advantage of you.

But, Big Brother, I want to ask,

do you really think everything you did,

was supposed to be good for me?

Or is it you've lost your heart?

Where you swallowed by the fame

and fortune, by your own desires

in the offcialdom?

On the surface, Shen Cui Xi and I are the wife and the concubine.

She is the Eldest Mistress and runs the family

and I'm the concubine who shall not be seen or tolerated by the world.

But do you know, Big Brother?

When she hated me the most,

she wanted to lock me up,

but she would also make the door to outside for me in the yard.

She was afraid that I would want to kill myself.

Living in this world,

sometimes, let your enemies live,

is to give yourself a second chance.

Xue Tang, I, and Cui Xi,

the three of us grew up together.

We studied together.

If you let us live for once,

if you had any kindness in your heart,

it wouldn't turn out like this.

I see.

Do you know, Little Sister?

These years, I've been glamours during the day,

but when it's night,

I've never slept well.

I almost always woke up from nightmares.

Until yesterday, the order came,

all of a sudden, I felt,

at ease.

I had a good night of sleep

for the first time in many years.

I've lost, again.

Big Brother,

going to the Northwest army is far.

Although there will be sand blown by the wind along the way,

no matter how windy it is going to be, it can't cover the sun and the moon,

and the kindness and the justice in people's heart.

I hope you can take care.

Always fight for hope.

Thank you for your kind words.

I will remember that.

[Gateway]

Dad!

Zhao Di, Yin Di, let dad hold you up.

Look what I brought you guys.

Look.

-Thank you, dad.
-Thank you, dad.

Dad, you are different than before.

How am I different than before?

Dad, you smile now.

You used to be unhappy every day.

I will smile for you every day from now on,

and be happy every day. How's that?

Ok.

Go play.

Mother of my children, don't worry,

I will take good care of Zhao Di and Yin Di.

[Li's Porridge]

Please, come inside.

[Qingyue Workshop]

Big Sister.

After been in the dark for so long,

now I am able to wake up from home

eat with family,

and to walk in the street with my favorite friend.

It turns out, the most ordinary things

are the most precious.

That's right.

Big Sister, I'm very satisfied with my life.

I cherish the life I have very much.

And my family.

Eldest Mistress and Concubine Mistress, the three shopkeepers are inside.

-Eldest Mistress, Concubine Mistress.
-Eldest Mistress,

it's just a little something, please take it.

Why, thank you. That's so polite of you.

Eldest Mistress, I will go pour the tea.

The weavers have been studying your Kesi skills. They've gained a lot.

That's right. It really opened our mind.

That's right. Our Lu's Workshop made seven patterns within a month.

The business is 30% better.

Even the clients from the Northwest and Canton came to us.

Then I will have to wish

everyone to always have good business and make lots of money.

Thank you, Eldest Mistress.

-All thanks to you.
-All thanks to you.

[Ren's Manor]

Do you know why I called you here.

Look, Master Shu Yan is getting more handsome.

-He's yelling at the two of them again.
-I've said many times. Why can't you guys do a good job?

-Just replace the water as I told you to.
-Sister Ru Yi.

If Eldest Mistress and Eldest Master see it, they will punish you.

You are right. Master Shu Yan is getting more handsome.

Ok, go prepare the wagon.

Here.

Do you like it?

I never liked wearing gold and silver since I was a kid.

It's heavy to wear, and if I lose it, my mom would beat me.

It's better to wear a flower on my head.

If I love it, I will keep wearing it. If I don't, I just throw it away.

If there's no flowers here.

I have to go.

Second Mother.

Help me bring Eldest Master's clothes to his study.

Why are we bringing clothes to his study?

From now on, Eldest Master will be sleeping in this study.

Why is Eldest Master moving to his study?

Big Sister and I are both living in the manor. Eldest Master is back

and I think it's best for him to sleep in the study.

Help me bring it over.

How's this?

-No.
-What about this?

How does this look?

Not good either.

Let's try another one.

This one?

Is it pretty?

Nope. These flower clips are all too normal. They are not good enough for my wife.

You have such a sophisticated taste, Second Master.

I will have to keep looking.

Even if I have to flip the whole Suzhou city upside down, I will find a way to make you satisfied. Ok?

Alright, enough with the talking.

If you missed my wife's birthday, don't even think about doing business with me.

Got it.

Ok, leave now. Don't let others see you and ruin the surprise.

-Yes, Master.
-Go ahead.

You are back, Second Mistress.

You are back, Shu Fang!

Do you know what day is today?

What day is today?

The reopening day of Qingyue Workshop.

That's right! The reopening day of Qingyue Workshop.

We have to celebrate such a good day.

This is too fancy of a meal for that.

It has to be fancy for such a good day like today.

Try this.

And this one. That one is good, too.

Here.

You eat.

Let's drink, Shu Fang.

You drink if you want to. I have to do bookkeeping later.

Alright, I will drink alone.

Shu Fang.

Today is a good day.

It's your birthday.

This is the birthday present I got you.

This one.

Is it pretty?

Isn't it pretty?

Ru Feng, today is the reopening day for Qineyue Workshop.

Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law were all there.

You didn't go and you are just eating and drinking here.

People will talk and say all you do is having fun and not working.

Having fun and not working.

That's so freeing, isn't it?

Shu Fang, after all these years.

All the burdens of this family

are all on me.

I could barely breathe.

However, now is better.

Big Brother is back.

I'm more relax.

Talking about Big Brother,

he...in the past, my impression of him was

smart and decisive.

Shu Fang, let me tell you.

That day when Big Brother had few extra drinks,

he was devastated.

In fact, he was thinking

between eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law

who he loves more.

He suddenly became indecisive.

If it's to me, there is nothing to be torn,

both of them are his wives.

What you mean is

Big Brother shouldn't be torn, shouldn't be in pain, correct?

There is nothing to be painful about.

Which men isn't jealous of him having joy from two wives.

Ru Feng.

Ru Feng.

Eldest Master is back.

Eldest Mistress is also out of the jail.

The Ren Family's tragedy is finally over.

Don't mind me being petty,

Look at that Second Master happily managing Ren Family's business.

The misfortune of this family is all because

he met that ban...

If you say something like that and Second Mistress heard it,

you will be flogged!

All the ledger are ready.

Everything got confiscated by Li Zhao and Cao Wen Bin,

majority of them has been returned.

But in order to restore Qingyue Workshop's former glory, we need to find the original shopkeepers and associates,

recruit weavers and staff, grow Mulberry tree and feed skilworms.

To revive the entire Ren Family's business,

we need a large amount of liquid assets.

Any antique chinas and paintings, we can sell or pawn them.

But make sure we find somebody who is reliable.

Many eyes are watching us.

If someone learned about it, our reputation will be ruined.

Spring examination is coming up next year.
You can focus on your study,

I will take care of any business related matters.

Good. I trust you, I will rely on you.

Bao Qin, I want you to handle two things.

First, the returned paintings and weaving brocades,

and Kesi.
Identify which one is genuine, which one got swapped out.

Which one we keep in the storage,

which one we will sell it discreetly,

you are most situation to handle them.

Secondly, manage the household expenses.

Accompany Xue Tang's study, review Shu Shang's homework.

Also, manage the house staff and family members.

All those miscellaneous duties are often under appreciated.

Are you willing to do it?

Sister, don't worry. I will take care of it.

It was always Shu Fang who handled the General Accounts Office.

Let's do it as usual.

Okay.

As for the Qingyue Workshop,

I'll leave it to Ru Feng.

Eldest Mistress, I won't be able to handle the business.

If you didn't give it a try, how will you know you can't?

Who's born to do business?

But there are people that are unable to learn since birth.

Shu Fang, let's go.

What's wrong with Ru Feng?

Yesterday, I heard him talking

Settling oneself in order to avoid suspicious events

and misfortune.

Does Ru Feng have any other thoughts?

He always thinks that the misfortune in this household was caused by his wrongdoings.

At the gambling den, he got to know the reason.

The Ren family is well known. Li Zhao and the others had their eyes on them long ago.

Even if there's no Zhang Biao, there will be others.

I'll find a time to talk to him.

Don't bother with it. Let Shu Fang persuade him.

Shu Fang is the most important person to him right now.

Let go of me!

Ru Feng, what's the meaning of this?

Shu Fang, Eldest Brother is back.

The Ren family has Eldest Brother and Eldest Mistress in charge.

Can't we live our own days?

Right now, Eldest Brother and Eldest Mistress is so busy.

We're a family. We can't just think about our own days.

Not necessarily.

Eldest Brother is the one in charge of the Ren family.

If I bother with it, then people will think I'm envious of their household properties.

- Why bother?
- They have a mouth.

You're backing out just because others are saying a few words?

Moreover, you didn't do anything to harm others or benefits from others.

What are you afraid of?

If you're not going to care for the business at Qingyue Workshop, then I'll be in charge.

How can I? We're husband and wife. If you're in charge, then I am as well.

Don't talk about husband and wife.

In the future, we have no relationship.

When we separate, we are both free and happy.

Shu Feng, I must've been drunk that night.

If I said anything wrong or did anything wrong,

I was wrong then. I will change. I can guarantee that I will change.

Slap or scold me. Why did you bring the divorce letter?

Don't you know?

How long has it been since I married you?

And you are thinking about having three wives and four concubines.

You keep being with other women.

I originally wanted to give you another chance,

But from the bottom your heart, you don't intend to change.

Ren Ru Feng, let me tell you.

I won't stop just because I married you.

Wait, Shu Feng. What woman?

There's no woman!

Try this.

Come on. Here.

Mistress Yang, why are you here?

Your Second Master already said,

As long as you can get the velvet flowers that Second Mistress likes, you will be rewarded handsomely.

Look. They just found it and delivered it to me.

There's good stuff again?

How is it?

They look pretty. Follow me then.

Okay.

Rong Hua?

Reward?

Did I misunderstand him?

Second Mistress, something is bad. Something happened to Qingyue Workshop.

Eldest Mistress told you to go on over.

Okay. Let's go.

Second Master Ren, slow down.

Shu Feng! Shu Feng!

What are you doing?

It's all your fault. You look coquettish.

You caused Second Mistress to misunderstand.

Can you stop being unreasonable? Hurry up and go with me to explain.

Slow down!

Second Mistress, the customers over here are in a rush to get the goods.

I calculated. We can't do it.

There are over 100 pieces of cloth here.

The number of machinists are the same as before, why can't it be done?

Second Mistress, all we have are newbies over here.

Our old mechanics have been recruited at a high price by other families.

The double-sided weave that Eldest Mistress restored

can't be done by average mechanics.

I know. Let's go to the room.

For those that can weave double-sided tapes, stand on the left side.

Double-sided tapes?

I remember that you guys followed the Ren family many years.

What Second Mistress said is correct. I've been at the Ren family for 5 years.

Now that I heard that Qingyue Workshop is re-opening, I came back.

- Me too.
- Me too.

Second Mistress, me too.

Thank you everyone for not leaving.

We overcame an obstacle together, but now we encountered a new one.

There are so many merchants out there. We cannot meet the demand.

If it's based on how we normally work, we won't be able to make so many goods

so everyone has to work harder to work longer

and make a bit more,

but don't worry.

I will definitely will still pay the salary well.

Second Mistress, please don't worry. We definitely won't delay Qingyue Workshop's matters.

In the future, we'll do what Second Mistress said.

Right, everyone?

- Right.
- Right. Don't worry, Second Mistress.

Thank you, everyone.
