I'm here to take your measurements.
22
00:01:44,470 --> 00:01:46,710
Liar.
23
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:48,860
All of you are liars.
24
00:01:50,070 --> 00:01:52,860
Eldest Mistress Ren deck herself out
25
00:01:52,860 --> 00:01:56,050
to come and take measurements for a girl from the brothel?
26
00:01:56,980 --> 00:01:59,620
You take me as a three year old kid?
27
00:02:00,890 --> 00:02:03,820
It was your Mother who asked me to come.
28
00:02:04,350 --> 00:02:06,170
Next one.
29
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:17,420
My Mother, is she doing fine?
30
00:02:18,290 --> 00:02:20,550
Your Mother wants to know
31
00:02:21,170 --> 00:02:23,570
if you are doing fine.
32
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,310
I learnt a lot of things here.

Go back and tell my Mother,
37
00:03:40,110 --> 00:03:42,560
I'm doing very well here.
38
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,210
I will do even better in the future.

Bao Qin,
40
00:03:58,140 --> 00:04:01,070
If they don't listen to Madam in the brothel,
41
00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,130
what will happen?
42
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,400
Sister, do you still remember Wu Er?
43
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:22,690
Yes I remember. Your personal maid when you were young.
44
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,510
Madam, Madam.
45
00:04:27,510 --> 00:04:31,120
- Wu Er, Wu Er.
- Miss, Miss.
46
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,910
- Miss!
- Wu Er!
47
00:04:33,910 --> 00:04:37,010
Madam, I beg you.
48
00:04:37,010 --> 00:04:41,030
Please let her go! I'll do whatever you want! I beg you!
49
00:04:41,030 --> 00:04:42,880
Madam, please let her go.
50
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,740
I'm willing to do whatever you want.
51
00:04:44,740 --> 00:04:48,590
Let Wu Er go! Let her go!
52
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,880
I beg you.
53
00:04:53,340 --> 00:04:56,290
I beg you!

Wu Er.

Wu Er!
60
00:05:24,830 --> 00:05:26,700
Wu Er followed me since she was young.
61
00:05:26,700 --> 00:05:29,900
She read books and is literate. She abided by the rules.
62
00:05:29,900 --> 00:05:32,830
Later on when she went to the brothel, she did not want to be degenerated.
63
00:05:32,830 --> 00:05:35,420
She wasn't willing to listen to Madam.
64
00:05:35,420 --> 00:05:37,830
She was beaten to death.
65
00:05:39,300 --> 00:05:41,540
The women who were degenerated to the brothel,
66
00:05:42,130 --> 00:05:46,660
their fate is tragic. But they shouldn't be guilty for living on.
67
00:05:46,660 --> 00:05:49,300
They must not be criticized so severely,
68
00:05:49,300 --> 00:05:51,820
and feel despaired.
69
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:58,600
Sister, you are thinking of saving Miss Cao?
70
00:06:03,650 --> 00:06:06,670
She was sold into the brothel by the authorities.
71
00:06:06,670 --> 00:06:10,970
Even though His Majesty has decreed to allow those lowly ones to change to respected lines of work,
72
00:06:10,970 --> 00:06:14,060
But Jiangnan's customs are conservative.
73
00:06:14,060 --> 00:06:16,700
There are many overt and covert obstructions.
74
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:20,230
It's not easy to save her.
75
00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:22,120
This I know.
76
00:06:25,220 --> 00:06:29,540
Even though the girl is pitiful, the Cao family has hurt you after all.
77
00:06:29,540 --> 00:06:31,980
That's Cao Wen Bin fault.
78
00:06:32,590 --> 00:06:34,900
She should not take the blame for it.
79
00:06:38,060 --> 00:06:40,730
To have met you, it's Cao Yao Niang
80
00:06:40,730 --> 00:06:42,890
blessing.
81
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:48,120
But Sister, this thing is really not easy.
82
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,180
You not only need to deal with the provisions of the law,
83
00:06:51,180 --> 00:06:53,090
but also secular prejudices.
84
00:06:53,090 --> 00:06:57,170
Bao Qin, you know my character. Since I've decided,
85
00:06:57,170 --> 00:07:01,090
no amount of danger can stop me.

Don't worry Concubine Mistress. Even if Lady Shen wants to save her,
89
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,800
if she is not successful, she will let it go.
90
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,790
Sister will not.
91
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:28,130
If she is willing to let it go, then she's not Shen Cui Xi.

- Shu Yan.

Someone came to visit Eldest Master.

Who?
96
00:07:43,370 --> 00:07:46,480
He's a young scholar, his surname is Weng.
97
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,570
Surname Weng?
98
00:07:50,050 --> 00:07:53,560
Among the people who we have relations with, is there anyone who's surname is Weng?
99
00:07:55,090 --> 00:07:58,760
Mistress, I still have things to do. I'll go back to the house first.

Young Master Weng, please have some tea.
103
00:08:24,300 --> 00:08:26,530
Is your name Shu Yan?
104
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,490
Yes. I'm Shu Yan.
105
00:08:30,490 --> 00:08:32,350
So it was him.
106
00:08:32,810 --> 00:08:35,530
Young Master Weng, do you have any commands?
107
00:08:35,530 --> 00:08:37,700
No.
108

Young Master Weng you know Shu Yan?

No.

This junior is named Jin, with a courtesy name of Zi Qiao.
111
00:08:45,570 --> 00:08:48,270
Eldest Master Ren you can call me Zi Qiao.

00:08:48,270 --> 00:08:52,140
Since I'm a few years older than you, you can call me Older Brother Xue Tang.

May I ask you why did you specially came to visit me?

Mistress, Eldest Master is asking you to come to the front hall with Miss Ru Yi.
125

I got it.

do you still remember what you promised me?

I, Weng Jin, came specially to propose marriage to Ren family's Eldest Mistress' personal maid, Ru Yi.

Please agree to it, Eldest Mistress.

Don't take it for real, Mistress.

Mister, we were just joking at that time.
139

You're not Tang Bo Hu and I'm not Qiu Xiang.
140
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,390
Why must I marry you after meeting you thrice?
141
00:11:24,390 --> 00:11:26,690
Whether it's for real,
142
00:11:26,690 --> 00:11:29,380
at least let him finish speaking.
143
00:11:30,090 --> 00:11:33,520
Ru Yi, I already know about your situation.
144

Now let me tell you about my family.

My father and mother are loving and harmonious.

I have three older brothers, two older sisters and a younger sister.
147
00:11:40,930 --> 00:11:45,210
All my older brothers and sisters are married. Only my younger sister is not betrothed.
148
00:11:45,210 --> 00:11:49,190
My father has never had any concubines or maids. My mother is also very understanding

and gets along well with all my sisters-in-law.
150
00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:56,370
There is no enmity among us brothers or between my sisters-in-law.
151
00:11:56,370 --> 00:11:58,900
I-I never said I will marry you.
152
00:11:58,900 --> 00:12:02,040
Why are you telling me about your family matters?
153
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,430
Ru Yi, after we get married, my family will become your family.
154
00:12:06,430 --> 00:12:09,690
It's good if you know a little about us.
155

Ru Yi, now that you know my situation,
156
00:12:17,660 --> 00:12:19,790
are you willing to marry me?
157
00:12:22,610 --> 00:12:25,360
Mister Weng, before coming to propose marriage,
158
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,900
have you obtained your parents' approval?
159
00:12:29,690 --> 00:12:32,490
For my marriage, it's most important that I like the person.
160
00:12:32,490 --> 00:12:35,690
As for my parents, I will convince them.

00:12:45,150 --> 00:12:47,110

162
00:12:47,110 --> 00:12:49,710
Madam Weng is here.

Madam, how should we address you?
168
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,490
Eldest Master Ren. Eldest Mistress Ren.
169
00:13:31,070 --> 00:13:35,560
It's rude of me to come by out of a sudden. But do understand my intentions as a parent.
170
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:38,060
I'm this scoundrel's biological mother.

So it's Madam Weng. Please take a seat.
172
00:13:40,900 --> 00:13:44,090
We have failed to discipline this scoundrel properly.
173
00:13:44,090 --> 00:13:47,850
He likes to talk nonsense. If he said anything inappropriate,
174
00:13:47,850 --> 00:13:49,930
please don't take it to heart.
175
00:13:54,270 --> 00:13:58,380
So those were just nonsense?
176
00:13:58,380 --> 00:14:00,750
Since it's nonsense, never mind then.
177
00:14:00,750 --> 00:14:04,930
It's not nonsense, Ru Yi. I sincerely want to marry you.
178
00:14:04,930 --> 00:14:09,270
Jin'er, we let you study so you can be sensible.
179
00:14:09,270 --> 00:14:11,930
Not for you to be wilful and act recklessly.
180
00:14:11,930 --> 00:14:15,250
If such a girl becomes our Weng family's daughter-in-law,
181
00:14:15,250 --> 00:14:18,820
we will become Suzhou city's laughingstock.
182
00:14:18,820 --> 00:14:23,500
Mother, in my studies, I learnt 'A virtuous maiden is a good mate for a man'.
(T/N: from Guan Ju (The Ospreys Cry) in Shi Jing (The Book of Songs)
183
00:14:23,500 --> 00:14:26,880
I've never learnt anything about why it's unsuitable for a maiden
184
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,970
- to marry a man.
- You...
185
00:14:28,970 --> 00:14:32,710
Father and Mother have always taught me to look at a person's heart. Our family rules also state that
186
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:36,130
marriage need not be with wealthy families or of equal social rank.
187
00:14:36,130 --> 00:14:40,600
I wish to marry such a virtuous lady. How is that wrong?
188
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,110
What virtuous lady?
189
00:14:42,110 --> 00:14:45,630
- She-
- Excuse me. This is Ren residence.
190
00:14:45,630 --> 00:14:48,580
Madam Weng, if you want to teach your son,
191
00:14:48,580 --> 00:14:50,320
this is not the place.
192
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:54,230
Furthermore, our Ru Yi
193
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:56,680
has followed me since young.
194
00:14:56,680 --> 00:14:58,850
We're close like biological sisters.
195
00:14:58,850 --> 00:15:03,490
She's not one to be belittled at wish.
196
00:15:04,910 --> 00:15:09,080
Eldest Mistress Ren, Miss Ru Yi, I didn't mean to offend you.
197
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,550
- It's just that-
- Please go back.
198
00:15:15,410 --> 00:15:18,050
- Aren't you leaving?
- Ru Yi hasn't agreed to my proposal yet.
199
00:15:18,050 --> 00:15:20,640
Mister Weng, how about
200
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:25,170
you go home and discuss it properly with your parents first?
201
00:15:25,170 --> 00:15:27,100
See the guests out.
202
00:15:27,100 --> 00:15:28,680
Let's go.
203
00:16:28,290 --> 00:16:31,530
Eldest Master, I-I'll go do my work.
204
00:16:32,830 --> 00:16:36,210
If you go after her, you may still have a chance.
205
00:16:38,310 --> 00:16:42,930
Eldest Master, Weng Jin is from a reputable family.
206
00:16:42,930 --> 00:16:45,170
He's young and talented.
207
00:16:45,170 --> 00:16:48,970
As for me, I'm just your servant.
208
00:16:48,970 --> 00:16:51,480
How can I compare to him?
209
00:16:52,510 --> 00:16:55,180
Why go to Ru Yi
210
00:16:55,180 --> 00:16:59,180
to put her in a spot and embarrass myself?
211
00:16:59,180 --> 00:17:03,160
Shu Yan, liking someone has nothing to do with your status.
212
00:17:03,910 --> 00:17:05,940
Do you still remember
213
00:17:05,940 --> 00:17:11,310
how much she liked you before? She wanted to marry you so much.
214
00:17:13,310 --> 00:17:16,690
Eldest Master, I...
215
00:17:17,170 --> 00:17:19,300
I only wish for Ru Yi
216
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,990
to live well.
217
00:17:33,770 --> 00:17:36,680
These ten strokes were hard on you, right?
218
00:17:38,570 --> 00:17:41,870
- Now you know the pain?
- I do.
219
00:17:41,870 --> 00:17:45,840
Now you're not going to make a big fuss about marrying that girl anymore right?
220
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,890
I'm not going to make a fuss now.
221
00:17:49,330 --> 00:17:52,110
- I'll go once I'm healed.
- You!

Keep an eye on him. Don't let him go out again.

I got it, Madam.
224
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:12,060
Well, that's great.
225
00:18:12,060 --> 00:18:15,120
You can't see your Mistress now.
226
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:16,960
Young Master, that Miss...
227
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,340
That Mistress is really that wonderful?
228
00:18:19,340 --> 00:18:21,460
What do you know?

Embroider slowly, don't be in a rush.
233
00:19:01,330 --> 00:19:03,880
Your color combination isn't good.
234
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,610
Teacher, I feel that red and green is too tacky.
235
00:19:06,610 --> 00:19:09,310
Thus I used red and black.
236
00:19:09,310 --> 00:19:12,270
Look, you have to consider the occasion for the color combinations.
237
00:19:12,270 --> 00:19:16,540
For things used by young ladies, pink and green gives a delicate and tender feeling.
238
00:19:16,540 --> 00:19:21,240
If you use red and black, doesn't it give an old-fashioned and dull feeling?
239
00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:22,670
I understand now.

Continue embroidering.
241
00:19:24,110 --> 00:19:26,570
Teacher, my silk braid is braided in
242
00:19:26,570 --> 00:19:29,900
the 'Stairway to Heaven' pattern. Look, is it nice?
243
00:19:29,900 --> 00:19:32,370
Alright, let me take a look.

I went to visit Miss Cao.

Is she doing well?
246
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,770
She's very intelligent. Although she's in the brothel,
247
00:19:57,770 --> 00:20:00,550
she won't get bullied by others.
248
00:20:00,550 --> 00:20:03,390
She's not doing well, is it?
249
00:20:10,900 --> 00:20:13,350
Look at all the girls in the yard.

No matter where they came from,

they are all innocent and pure, don't know a thing about life.
252
00:20:18,900 --> 00:20:21,930
Even though Miss Cao is a few years older than them,
253
00:20:21,930 --> 00:20:24,520
she lives such a different life.
254
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,920
She can't relax, not for a second.
255
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:30,240
And she had to be careful with everyone around her.
256
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,480
She needs to go against her own will to make people happy,
257
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:36,560
so she is able to survive in a place like that.
258

Before,
259
00:20:44,580 --> 00:20:46,270
I always thought
260
00:20:46,270 --> 00:20:49,540
about keeping her with me for a little longer.
261
00:20:49,540 --> 00:20:54,160
I was only afraid once she gets married, her mother-in-law will be mean to her.
262
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:58,210
But my good intention
263
00:20:58,210 --> 00:21:00,730
only harmed her.
264
00:21:01,500 --> 00:21:04,600
Situations always change. It's not your fault.
265
00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:06,870
It is my fault.
266
00:21:09,630 --> 00:21:11,910
Ever since she was a kid,
267
00:21:11,910 --> 00:21:15,320
I never had the heart to let her suffer. Not for a bit.
268
00:21:16,380 --> 00:21:19,230
Other kind people used to tell me
269
00:21:19,230 --> 00:21:22,040
that girls are born to suffer.
270
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:26,250
If you treat her too well, it will only cause her harm.
271
00:21:26,940 --> 00:21:29,860
I couldn't listen to it.
272
00:21:29,860 --> 00:21:32,440
I thought they had bad intentions.
273
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,100
They were cursing Yao Niang to have a miserable life.
274
00:21:37,430 --> 00:21:39,720

00:21:41,140 --> 00:21:44,960
that the pay back would come this fast.
276
00:21:47,570 --> 00:21:52,540
I have nothing to look forward to in this life.
277
00:21:52,540 --> 00:21:54,780
If it wasn't for Yao Niang,

-These days,

00:22:04,380 --> 00:22:09,830
I dug out the books about morals and sins.
281
00:22:09,830 --> 00:22:13,470
I read them all.
282
00:22:15,230 --> 00:22:19,670
Why are those intellectuals so evil?
283
00:22:19,670 --> 00:22:22,470
Why are they even writing?
284
00:22:22,470 --> 00:22:25,930
They just think people deserve to die over nothing!

Do you know that?

00:22:36,540 --> 00:22:38,820
There's another kind of people.
287
00:22:41,150 --> 00:22:44,770
Their hearts, livers, lungs
288
00:22:44,770 --> 00:22:47,390
are soaked in evilness.
289
00:22:47,390 --> 00:22:51,450
They wants to destroy Yao Niang's face.
290
00:22:51,450 --> 00:22:54,720
They even want her to die!

However,

00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:07,530
Yao Niang is a person.

She smiles and talks to me.
294
00:23:12,790 --> 00:23:16,330

295
00:23:16,330 --> 00:23:19,400

Miss Shen, don't you worry.

I will not let anyone harm Yao Niang.

Because I am her mother.

If a mother
303
00:23:51,610 --> 00:23:55,400
can't even protect her daughter,
304
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,900

I've asked Little Sister-in-law about Cao Yao Niang.
309

She said Cao Yao Niang was sold by the government to be a prostitute, which is now her citizenship.
310
00:24:25,580 --> 00:24:27,170
This case is too big

that it angered the emperor. No one had the guts to save her.
312

If you want to save her,

unless you can reason with the emperor with logic and hearts,

or else, there is another way.

00:26:59,740 --> 00:27:01,210
Give me a kiss.
352
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,770
-No!
-Not us. Them.
353
00:27:04,770 --> 00:27:06,430
-Go away.
-Just one kiss.
354
00:27:06,430 --> 00:27:08,180
Get away from me.
355
00:27:08,180 --> 00:27:09,260
One kiss.
356
00:27:09,260 --> 00:27:11,750
-Go away.
-Nope.
357
00:27:24,030 --> 00:27:27,820
Master, you are going out before you are recovered. If Madam knows, she will beat me.
358
00:27:27,820 --> 00:27:29,740
You are so loud. If Madam finds out,
359
00:27:29,740 --> 00:27:32,750
it's nothing to get beaten up. But it will be bad if I can't marry her.
360
00:27:32,750 --> 00:27:34,600
Let's go back, please.
361
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,810
Come here. I've been lying in bed for three days.
362
00:27:36,810 --> 00:27:39,150
If I don't go see her, she will not want me anymore.
363
00:27:43,690 --> 00:27:45,640
Sshh.
364
00:27:57,070 --> 00:28:00,480
It's been three days.
365
00:28:00,480 --> 00:28:02,440
The Wen's hasn't made a peep.
366
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,950
Prestigious young masters like Weng Jin
367
00:28:05,950 --> 00:28:08,180
could be lying to us.
368
00:28:08,180 --> 00:28:11,290
How about you talk to Ru Yi again?
369
00:28:11,290 --> 00:28:15,320
They've been in love for so many years after all.
370
00:28:20,140 --> 00:28:24,170
Eldest Master, can't you tell?
371
00:28:24,170 --> 00:28:26,800
No matter Weng Jin is here or not,
372
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:30,920
Ru Yi will not marry Shu Yan.
373
00:28:30,920 --> 00:28:33,830
Shu Yan grew up with me.
374
00:28:33,830 --> 00:28:36,240
I understand him the most.
375
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:38,630
He is true to Ru Yi.
376
00:28:38,630 --> 00:28:42,280
Maybe he is the best person for Ru Yi.
377
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:46,490
Their marriage is not up to us.
378
00:28:46,490 --> 00:28:51,060
It depends on if they want to.
379
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:59,720
You are saying that if Weng Jin comes to propose again,
380
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,070
you will let Ru Yi marry him?
381
00:29:02,780 --> 00:29:05,320
"It's easy to get thousands of gold,
382
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,230
but it's hard to find the person who understands."
383
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,190
We will see what Ru Yi wants to do.
384
00:29:22,060 --> 00:29:24,070
It's crooked.
385
00:29:55,330 --> 00:29:56,980
Careful.
386
00:30:03,010 --> 00:30:04,790
Ru Yi.
387
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:13,480
Are you waiting for me, Ru Yi?
388
00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,710
Why are you climbing the wall again? Aren't you tired?
389
00:30:17,710 --> 00:30:19,040
I'm here to see you!
390
00:30:19,040 --> 00:30:21,050
You can go through the front door.
391
00:30:21,050 --> 00:30:23,480
They will kick me out if I walk the front door.
392
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,090
Ru Yi, do you want to marry me or not?
393
00:30:31,210 --> 00:30:33,390
Just call me Zi Qiao.
394
00:30:34,580 --> 00:30:38,690
Zi Qiao, we've only met three times. You don't know me.
395
00:30:38,690 --> 00:30:41,340
If you make the wrong decision and you regret it, what then?
396
00:30:41,340 --> 00:30:44,560
-I won't be wrong.
-I said if.
397
00:30:45,170 --> 00:30:48,260
Ru Yi, why do we have to consider
398
00:30:48,260 --> 00:30:49,850
so much ifs that are not going to happen?
399
00:30:49,850 --> 00:30:52,070
I only know that I have you in my heart now
400
00:30:52,070 --> 00:30:53,510
and I want to be with you.
401
00:30:53,510 --> 00:30:55,310
I can do anything for you.
402
00:30:55,310 --> 00:30:56,740
Isn't that enough?
403
00:30:56,740 --> 00:30:58,500
If this is a mistake,
404
00:30:58,500 --> 00:31:01,330
can't one fix it?
405
00:31:01,330 --> 00:31:04,480
As long as I truly love you now, isn't it enough?
406
00:31:11,300 --> 00:31:14,650
-If your parents just don't agree, what then?
-They will.
407
00:31:14,650 --> 00:31:16,780
Ever since I was a kid, everything I've been insisted in doing
408
00:31:16,780 --> 00:31:18,640
my father always let me do it.
409
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:22,020
As long as you agree to it, I will convince them.
410
00:31:23,690 --> 00:31:27,430
Ru Yi, will you agree to marry me?
411
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,030
Ok, I do.
412
00:31:43,630 --> 00:31:45,760
-What's wrong?
-Young Master.
413
00:31:47,340 --> 00:31:49,030
I'm fine.
414
00:31:49,030 --> 00:31:50,820
My Father gave me ten spanks.
415
00:31:50,820 --> 00:31:55,250
But don't worry, he stops being mad after he spanks people.
416
00:31:56,470 --> 00:31:58,770
Alright. I understand what you were saying.
417
00:31:58,770 --> 00:32:01,400
Go back home and get recovered.
418
00:32:02,230 --> 00:32:04,190
Wait for me.
419
00:32:04,190 --> 00:32:05,950
I will be waiting.
420
00:32:07,870 --> 00:32:09,750
Careful.
421
00:32:34,790 --> 00:32:38,250
Young Master, if Madam knows, she will spank me.
422
00:32:38,250 --> 00:32:40,910
It's ok. I'm here for you.
423
00:32:52,780 --> 00:32:54,300
Madam!
424
00:32:54,300 --> 00:32:57,270
Young Master forced me to go with her, Madam.
425
00:32:59,620 --> 00:33:02,940
Mom, if you want to blame someone, blame me.
426
00:33:12,350 --> 00:33:14,700
Mom.
427
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:22,830
You are about to get married, and you are still doing this with me.
428
00:33:22,830 --> 00:33:24,900
Mom?
429
00:33:24,900 --> 00:33:29,390
I raised you to this age, how could I not know your character?
430
00:33:30,510 --> 00:33:32,300
You've got your spanks.
431
00:33:32,300 --> 00:33:34,540
And you still wants to marry that girl.
432
00:33:34,540 --> 00:33:39,260
How am I going to see you become a monk?
433
00:33:41,940 --> 00:33:43,850
Thank you, mom.
434
00:33:46,750 --> 00:33:48,640
But your dad is too proud.
435
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,930
I can only try to convince me.
436
00:33:50,930 --> 00:33:54,450
-Don't run around before you are recovered.
-Yes.
437
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,270
This way, please.
438
00:34:21,110 --> 00:34:25,500
This way, please.
439
00:34:45,770 --> 00:34:47,840
Alright, your marrying gifts
440
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:49,920
are all there.
441
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:59,200
Time pasts so fast.
442
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,480
Even you are getting married.
443
00:35:07,610 --> 00:35:10,520
When I was little, I never thought
444
00:35:10,520 --> 00:35:13,880
I could see this day coming.
445
00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:18,830
Concubine Mistress, I'm not dreaming, am I?
446
00:35:19,870 --> 00:35:21,750
You are not.
447
00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,640
Do you remember
448
00:35:27,330 --> 00:35:29,770
what I said to you
449
00:35:29,770 --> 00:35:32,280
when we first met?
450
00:35:32,280 --> 00:35:36,780
I said I will treat you like my own little sister.
451
00:35:37,270 --> 00:35:42,940
This life, I will try my best to protect you.
452
00:35:53,020 --> 00:35:57,010
Do you know the newcomer said she is a lady from a governor's family?
453
00:35:57,010 --> 00:35:58,940
She's not even as tough as her maid.
454
00:35:58,940 --> 00:36:02,670
There's no point to keep the purity in this place.
455
00:36:02,670 --> 00:36:05,070
Her poor maid though.
456
00:36:05,070 --> 00:36:08,690
But this governor's lady does have a pretty face.
457
00:36:08,690 --> 00:36:10,820
Or else, why would Madam sent people to bring her food?
458
00:36:10,820 --> 00:36:12,690
Let her be hungry, that'd teach her a lesson.
459
00:36:12,690 --> 00:36:15,080
Can't lost money on her.
460
00:36:42,310 --> 00:36:44,950
Big Sister, eat slowyer.
461
00:36:47,290 --> 00:36:50,020
Big Sister, would you like water?
462
00:37:06,930 --> 00:37:10,020
-What's your name?
-My name is Ru Yi.
463
00:37:10,020 --> 00:37:12,070
Ru Yi.
464
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,520
It means to always get what you want.
465
00:37:16,780 --> 00:37:20,770
But who could get what she wants in this place?
466
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,690
My mom said even if it can't come true,
467
00:37:25,690 --> 00:37:28,650
it's always good to have hope.
468
00:37:28,650 --> 00:37:30,510
Your mom?
469
00:37:32,430 --> 00:37:35,230
Everyone thought my mom died.
470
00:37:35,230 --> 00:37:39,010
But, someone like my mom would never kill herself.
471
00:37:39,010 --> 00:37:42,420
She has someone she loves. He's a fisherman.
472
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:50,840
Ru Yi, be with me from now on.
473
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:52,650
I promise
474
00:37:52,650 --> 00:37:54,680
I will let you get what you want in life.
475
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:01,920
Big Sister,
476
00:38:03,500 --> 00:38:06,250
I don't want to leave you.
477
00:38:06,250 --> 00:38:08,030
I know.
478
00:38:10,100 --> 00:38:12,130
I know.
479
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,670
You are about to be a bride.
480
00:38:18,670 --> 00:38:20,470
Don't cry.
481
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:30,420
Be good over there.
482
00:38:31,730 --> 00:38:36,130
If they don't treat you well, come tell me.
483
00:38:36,130 --> 00:38:38,970
Or you can come back.
484
00:38:38,970 --> 00:38:40,650
I will feed you.
485
00:38:44,950 --> 00:38:47,400
Don't worry, Big SIster,
486
00:38:47,400 --> 00:38:49,290
Weng Jin said
487
00:38:49,290 --> 00:38:51,950
as long as he's there,
488
00:38:51,950 --> 00:38:54,280
he will not let me suffer.
489
00:38:54,280 --> 00:38:57,150
If people in the family will give me trouble,
490
00:38:57,150 --> 00:38:59,780
he will deal with them.
491
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:03,840
I can tell
492
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,440
how much Weng Jin loves you.
493
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:08,610
It's just that, Ru Yi,
494
00:39:08,610 --> 00:39:13,320
what about you? Do you truly love Weng Jin?
495
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:15,430
I do.
496
00:39:15,430 --> 00:39:18,850
Even you can tell how much he loves me,
497
00:39:18,850 --> 00:39:23,030
I do love him for how much he loves me.
498
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:27,710
Can you tell me
499
00:39:27,710 --> 00:39:32,880
what you were thinking when you rejected Shu Yan and accepted Weng Jin?
500
00:39:33,740 --> 00:39:35,740
Actually,
501
00:39:36,770 --> 00:39:41,100
actually I felt the same when I see Weng Jin and Shu Yan for the first time.
502
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:45,280
They all made me happy.
503
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:48,920
But then I realized that they are different.
504
00:39:48,920 --> 00:39:52,840
Shu Yan always
505
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,130
stays at where he is.
506
00:39:55,130 --> 00:39:58,410
He always waits for me to get to him.
507
00:39:58,410 --> 00:40:02,710
He waits, then he struggles.
508
00:40:02,710 --> 00:40:05,990
I felt that all he sees is manners.
509
00:40:05,990 --> 00:40:08,270
But Weng Jin is different.
510
00:40:08,270 --> 00:40:11,440
When I take a step forward, Weng Jin takes one, too.
511
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:14,440
If I extend my left hand, Weng JIn extends his right hand,
512
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,440
and he holds me and doesn't let me go.
513
00:40:17,440 --> 00:40:20,430
I can see that he only sees me.
514
00:40:20,430 --> 00:40:23,110
Big Sister, if you were me,
515
00:40:23,110 --> 00:40:25,510
who would you choose?
516
00:40:25,510 --> 00:40:27,450
I understand.
517
00:40:29,660 --> 00:40:33,840
I will always remember what you said to me that day.
518
00:40:34,430 --> 00:40:37,900
I will get what I want.
519
00:40:39,580 --> 00:40:42,020
Now I made it.
520
00:40:46,380 --> 00:40:48,460
I made it.
521
00:40:51,190 --> 00:40:53,890
Live and get what you want.

♫ Uniting with a seemingly affectionate one ♫
529
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:54,750
♫ Leaves one tearfully gazing at the predestined love ♫
530
00:41:54,750 --> 00:42:00,200
♫ There is nothing to fear about the preordained death ♫
531
00:42:00,200 --> 00:42:04,940
♫ It’s rather the foredoomed life that one can only accept ♫
532
00:42:04,940 --> 00:42:10,410
♫ The beautiful scene of this moment ♫
533
00:42:10,410 --> 00:42:16,860
♫ Is like a dream, like a fantasy, like an illusion ♫
534
00:42:16,860 --> 00:42:22,350
♫ If love is put with an end, my heart will stop with it ♫
535
00:42:22,350 --> 00:42:26,770
♫ Where can I go to await the duckweed? ♫
536
00:42:26,770 --> 00:42:32,190
♫ The falling blossoms deliberately follow the wind ♫
537
00:42:32,190 --> 00:42:38,680
♫ The coldhearted rain drizzles until dawn ♫
538
00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:44,120
♫ The dream that came after a heady good wine is hard to wake up from ♫
539
00:42:44,120 --> 00:42:49,920
♫ I’m lost in a hopeless search for you in this hazy world ♫
