[Pretty Guardian of the City]

[Episode 15]

Are you mocking me?

When I see my cousin,

I'll get him to punish you.

Sentence you to death!

Are you scared?

I'm so scared.

It's good that you're scared.

I'm hungry.

Go get me some food.

Get me some food,

do you understand?

I'm exhausted.

So cute.

So cute.

What's your name?

So cute.

You are so beautiful.

Little white rabbit.

Why are you breaking these branches?

To make a fire.

A fire?

Why do you need fire in broad daylight?

How can I cook the rabbit

without fire?

How can you be so cruel?

It's so cute.

How can you eat it?

If Yunxi were here,

this rabbit would have been cooked long ago.

That's because she's not kind.

She has a heart of stone.

Do you have anything else to eat?

Why does it taste so bad?

So sour.

Then give me the rabbit.

Master.

It's time to arrange a marriage

for Xi'er.

I was about to mention this,

as what you have just said.

We

share the same sentiments.

Do you have a suitable candidate?

Xi'er and Fengyi

grew up together

like childhood sweethearts.

They have deep affection,

and are very compatible.

Fengyi is good.

But

I also have another candidate in mind.

The chairman's granddaughter, Siyan.

Siyan

is well-educated,

gentle and virtuous.

If Xi'er marries her,

she will definitely be

a great support to him.

Isn't Siyan good?

It seems

Master has already thought things through.

You're right.

Both Fengyi and Siyan

are good matches.

Xi'er is lucky

to marry either of them.

What do you think?

A few days ago,

when I went to the temple to pray for your blessings,

I also had

Xi'er's fortune told.

God has destined

Fengyi as his sole, perfect match.

Dear,

this fortune-telling

is timely.

But

it is unjust for Siyan

to be

a second lady.

How about this?

Let Xi'er marry both of them.

Whoever gives birth to a son first

will be

the Lady of Young Master.

What do you think?

This...

I'm afraid this is inappropriate.

How so?

You and Lady Jing

were in the same situation.

However,

you know Xi'er.

He's very rebellious.

If you told him

the marriage is arranged,

I'm afraid he'll refuse it.

Dear,

thank you in advance.

You must make him

agree willingly.

Okay?

Yes.

This kid

really makes me worry.

The terrain here is flat

and close to Cangyue City.

But judging from

the soil and water source here,

this is likely saline land.

Carrying out

construction here

would require a lot of

manpower and material resources

to neutralize the soil.

Otherwise, the floors and walls

of the buildings

will always have alkali.

Is it that serious?

Not only that,

the soil and water source here

-also have... -Cousin.

Cousin.

Let me down.

I've finally found you.

Where in the world is this place?

It's so remote.

My legs are about to break.

Why are you here?

To protect you, of course.

There's a cruel beast

by your side.

What if she does something to you

and you can't handle it?

Young Master is very skilled at martial arts.

There is no beast

he can't handle.

Cousin,

aren't you tired from the journey?

Yes, of course.

Let Tang Qing

take you back to your mansion to rest.

No.

You're bullying me.

I'm going back to tell my aunt.

Why are you not stopping me?

Cousin.

Enough. Stop it, okay?

If you want to stay,

then stay.

Paper.

What paper?

Put the soil on the paper,

wrap it up and bring it back.

Let me do it.

I know how to do it now.

Let me do it.

Young Master.

Let me do it.

I'm adept at it,

so it'll save time.

This way,

everyone can go back early.

Time is meant to be wasted.

Why save time?

But you're the Young Master.

How can the Young Master

carry out such a menial task?

I can do it.

Young Master, you can't.

Let me do it.

After all, Yunxi and I

grew up together.

We have better chemistry.

Young Master.

Give it to me.

If you don't,

I'll knock your head off.

Let's see whose head

is tougher.

Why does it feel like

my cousin and Tang Qing

are vying for Yunxi's affection?

Let me...

You can't do it.

You just can't do it.

Cousin,

I want to ride the horse with you.

I'm here.

Cousin.

You've had a tiring day.

Why don't you take the carriage?

I don't want to.

Yunxi,

take the carriage.

I want to ride the horse with you.

Miss,

how about I take the carriage with you?

That's a great idea. Let's go.

I want a hug.

Take this.

You're so clueless.

Give me a hug.

Tang Qing.

You do it.

-No! -No!

Are you ignoring

my orders?

Do it.

No!

Tang Qing, you jerk.

Don't think

that your handsome face

is license to treat me

however you like.

Got it, Miss.

Tang Qing, you jerk.

Miss,

did you come here for the Young Master?

Are you and cousin

the only ones allowed to go outside the city?

Don't think I don't see right through

your charade.

Naturally, I'm focused on

assisting Young Master

and settling the people from the south of the city quickly.

You care so much for him.

You must share similar thoughts as me.

Yunxi,

don't think that you can gloat in front of me

just because my cousin cares about you.

He is just momentarily interested in you

because of the novelty.

Although you know about mapping

and can help my cousin,

I'm smart too.

If I study hard,

I'll definitely become better than you.

By then,

my cousin will fall in love with me.

Miss,

If this is so,

then Young Master should be in love with

the Director of the Planning Department.

I don't care

who he is in love with,

as long as I am

his future wife.

The name of the Lady of Young Master

doesn't belong to me anyway.

I won't fight for it.

Really?

You're not lying to me?

Yunxi,

as long as you aren't fighting for

the name of the Lady of Young Master

we still can be good friends.

I didn't mean to

punish you the last time.

Don't be angry.

Actually, I was very regretful.

I felt so bad.

Miss,

I was partially at fault too.

Please pardon me.

Yunxi,

you are so nice.

Since you are so magnanimous,

I'll also not be petty.

You can have cousin.

But

you mustn't hinder our marriage.

Marriage requires mutual affection.

The man you like

likes other women,

yet you're not bothered.

That means you don't love him deeply enough.

Miss,

if you can,

be nicer to him in the future.

He is my cousin.

Of course I'll treat him well.

[Liaowu Mansion]

What is this?

Can't you tell?

There are fruits on a tree.

Someone wants to pick fruits.

No?

Someone wants to hang himself,

so the other is rushing to save him.

It's so obvious yet you can't tell?

This is you.

This is me.

You want to tie a red string on the Marriage Tree,

and I'm lifting you up.

Do you see it now?

I just wanted to draw a painting

to record

our most romantic moment.

Yet you can't even figure it out.

I'm so sad.

So sad.

Of course I could figure it out.

Your drawing is so vivid.

It's hard not to see it.

I was only teasing you just now.

From now on, I will make a painting every day

to record every detail

of our life together.

In the future, my paintings

will surely fill several rooms.

Aren't you being too passionate?

I'm not ready yet.

I have something else to tell you.

I took the soil

we brought back today from outside the city

for further inspection.

I got the result.

This is my summary of it.

Take a look.

This matter?

Dear lords,

what do you think of this soil?

This...

-This... -This...

Right,

I forgot to introduce her.

This is Yunxi,

the surveyor of Cangyue City.

We're here today

to discuss about the construction.

It's obvious.

Isn't this saline soil?

Can we build a house

on such saline land?

This lady

is the Young Master's surveyor,

so she must be extraordinarily talented.

But she doesn't even know this?

To build a house on saline land,

we must first neutralize

the alkali in the soil,

which requires a lot of

time and money.

Even if the house is built,

it will be eroded.

Collapse!

-Well said. -Well said.

Well said, Lord Song.

That's right.

We can't build houses on this soil.

But Young Master collected this soil

from the area

where the people are about to be

relocated to.

That area is made up of saline land.

People can't build houses

or farm.

I can't agree with that area being designated as

the resettlement site.

The Planning Department has made

a hasty decision.

No.

This land

can be improved.

You just said

that improving saline land

is time-consuming and expensive.

Neutralized soil

can only be maintained for a few years.

Who can guarantee their living

during periods when the soil is being neutralized?

Lord Song, will you support them?

Since you

are so wealthy

and generous.

That's not bad.

You're so generous.

You must be joking.

I don't have that money.

Really.

There's no perfect policy.

Human effort is the decisive factor.

Besides, the government has offered them

a large amount of compensation.

It can be said that

we've done our best.

Since they have received the compensation,

if they are still unsatisfied

with the arrangement,

sure,

they can find another place

to build a house and settle down.

Commander Xiao.

If the resettlement compensation

is used in

both construction and living,

it won't take long

to run out.

Everyone here

is an official of Cangyue City.

We can't use the money from the people

and leave them without money.

Am I right?

But speaking of building a market,

whether it be demolishing the south

or the north of the city,

it is related to the stability of Cangyue City.

In the end,

it's for the people.

You say it is for the people.

But do you know

what lives

they are living?

Do you know

what

they really need?

The so-called stability

is to settle down.

My lords,

please take a look at those

who are about to be expelled,

and always in hunger.

These people are forced to leave their homes.

How can they find stability?

You're being unreasonable.

Little girl,

you know nothing.

I've been in politics for decades.

How can I not be more experienced

than a young girl like you?

Commander Xiao has made great contributions.

Of course I can't match you.

It's just that I have my own specialty.

Commander Xiao is good at writing.

You can write the story of thousands of years.

But you may not be able to

draw a small map of construction planning.

Commander Xiao,

you must know

why the demolition place

is in the south of the city.

It is because we don't want to

harm the interests of aristocrats.

That's why we force the people

to leave their homes.

If we can't

find a reasonable plan

to relocate the people of the south,

then we can only remove

the manor in the north.

Without permission, you've changed the plan

into demolishing the north of the city.

Is that fair to

the aristocrats who

fought for Cangyue City?

Uncle,

I've already

considered this.

It's all about interests.

I can propose to my father

that 10% of

the market's annual taxes

are granted to the aristocrats in the north.

That's right.

These aristocrats

are devoted to Cangyue City.

Young Master have thought about it.

He will never do anything

against his conscience.

What he plans for the market

must be beneficial to the country.

My lords,

what do you think?

This...

This matter is very important.

Young Master,

you'd better think about it.

No need.

As the Chief Supervisor

of city construction,

I have the power to decide.

All right.

It's settled then.

My lovely bunny.

My Joy.

My lovely bunny.

Tang Qing!

Tang Qing.

Miss, Young Master is not here.

Please come again.

I'm not looking for him. I'm looking for you.

Me?

This rabbit is for you.

I've been a vegetarian lately.

Who told you to eat it?

The one I brought back last time

was a male rabbit.

I named it Happy.

This one I bought

is a female rabbit,

called Joy.

Since

they are too young

to become emotionally involved,

you need to take care of this one.

Take care of it?

I don't have time to take care of it.

Tang Qing!

If you don't listen to me,

I'll ask my cousin

to kick you out.

Be good.

Take good care of it.

If anything happens to Joy,

I will be angry.

Alright.

Get along well with daddy.

Yunxi.

Thanks to your help,

otherwise...

Xi'er.

Uncle.

Just now, I put the people first

and fought for their interests.

I did well, right?

If you insist on changing the site,

I can give in.

But remember,

you are the Young Master.

Don't be seduced easily

by the words

of an unknown woman.

And

you are not young anymore.

Shouldn't you prepare

for your wedding with Fengyi?

Uncle,

My marriage

is up to my father.

I can't even make my own decision.

I'm afraid you...

Don't use your father as an excuse.

You're young.

I can understand you indulge in others

because of novelty.

But don't forget

your status.

A girl

with humble identity

from nowhere

cannot be a good match for you.

You're right, uncle.

Not anyone

can be

the Lady of Young Master.

At least,

it should be someone

I like.

Fine.

You've grown up.

So, you don't respect me now,

right?

No, no, no.

Uncle, you must be joking.

You're so busy.

I just don't want you

to waste time on my business.

What's wrong?

Are you jealous

because uncle just mentioned

my marriage?

It was because

we were a good match

in the Planning Room.

So he

mentioned that again.

Don't worry about it.

Besides,

I may be very popular,

but

I only have you in my heart.

So don't worry that I'll marry someone else.

You must be angry.

Say something.

No.

There's nothing to be angry about.

Although Commander Xiao's words are unpleasant to hear,

it does make sense in some ways.

You and Miss Fengyi

are from the same class.

It's appropriate

for her to marry you.

What are you talking about?

In my heart,

I treat you as the one

to spend the rest of my life with.

I don't think so.

I only focus on the present instead of the future.

Some things need to be let go.

Don't force it.

Whatever happens

in the future,

I can live with it.

I'm different from you.

No one can change the thing

I've decided.

Don't be so childish.

Since some things are predestined,

you don't have to force them.

Then I...

If I marry someone else,

won't you be jealous, angry,

or sad?

I just want you to be happy.

Happy?

But if you marry someone else,

I won't make you happy.

I must get you back.

Jiang Chaoxi

is getting more and more outrageous.

What I want is

a Master's heir that is foolish and obedient.

Not a self-righteous one

beyond my control.

Where does Yunxi come from?

Master.

She's the surveyor hired by Young Master.

Last time I went to the Young Master's Mansion,

I found that she was the assistant

of Yun Zhongzi before.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I didn't find it noteworthy then.

I thought

that since it's not easy for her to make a living outside,

It's normal for her to work

in the Young Master's Mansion.

Song Qing.

Tell me.

What's your opinion

of Yunxi?

Commander Xiao.

Nothing.

No.

I...

I mean Miss Yunxi

is nothing.

These drawings I found

are done by her.

On the whole, these drawings are just so-so

in design and planning.

In terms of style,

these are somewhat similar

to Luo Daoan's.

But

from my years of expertise,

then,

I think it's blatant plagiarism.

So it's nothing.

In terms of ability,

she is not competitive.

Compared with me,

she is

far below me.

Blow.

Commander Xiao.

Blow.

I'm not blowing my horn.

Lord Song.

He wants me to blow for him.

Song Qing,

I'm not blaming you.

If you were really capable,

you wouldn't have been scolded

like that in the Planning Department.

That is because

a good man doesn't fight with a woman.

Go away.

Look at you.

You can't even win.

You may leave.

Recently,

I have some new ideas

about the city construction,

though they are just half-baked.

I still want to share with you.

You want to share half-baked ideas?

We'll talk about it when they are fully-developed.

Leave.

Commander Xiao,

I have a fully-developed suggestion.

Go ahead.

I... I want to blow.

Get out.

I think

we should investigate

Yunxi carefully.

Yes.

I'm troubled by trivial matters

and mediocre people.

How can I reach the harmony

between man and nature,

and live forever?

In less than half a day,

I got angry again

and grew two wrinkles.

Is it good?

Bunny.

Fengyi.

What time is it now?

Why do you still have the time

to play with this useless rabbit?

The rabbit is so cute.

How is it useless?

Dad, do you have taste?

Is the rabbit more important

or your cousin?

If you have time,

you could learn more about

your cousin.

Cousin.

He's too boring.

He's less important than a rabbit.

Yunxi is by his side.

Do you know?

Yes.

She's my good sister.

Sister?

You are the daughter of the Xiao family.

Can anyone from nowhere

be your sister?

Also,

do you know

she's dating your cousin?

I know.

Dad, don't worry.

Yunxi has told me.

She would not be

the Lady of Young Master.

Never.

They are in love with each other.

Aren't you worried?

For what?

What I want is the position of

the Lady of Young Master.

He can love anyone he likes.

They are in love.

Isn't that a threat

to your chances as the Lady of Young Master?

You...

Think about it.

Dad.

What's wrong with you?

Why are you so irritable without reason?

Let me tell you.

I'm smart.

Sooner or later,

I'll be the Lady of Young Master.

I don't want to talk to you anymore.

Give the rabbit back.

This...

She...

A careless girl.

Young Master.

Miss Yunxi.

It can't be.

They've only been dating for days.

How can they have a quarrel?

Get out.

I don't accept your apology.

It's you.

You scared me.

Young Master.

What did Miss Yunxi do

to offend you?

How about you talk to me about it?

Today, uncle

mentioned my marriage with Fengyi

in front of Yunxi and I.

But Yunxi didn't seem

to care at all.

What does she mean?

Does she care about me or not?

It may not be because

she doesn't care.

Then why didn't she

say something

when she heard about my marriage with others?

She's a reserved girl.

Of course she wouldn't express it in front of you.

Just like the days in May and June,

women are unpredictable.

In my opinion,

maybe Yunxi is more upset

than you.

Really?

How do you know so much?

When I was young,

I was known as a Romeo.

It's right to listen to me.

So, my reaction

is too petty.

I can't be.

I have to find her.

Thank you.

Your Ladyship calls for

you and Miss Yunxi.
