[Pretty Guardian of the City]

[Episode 18]

Miss, that's enough. The luggage is too heavy.

Don't just stand around.

Quick! Go get

that pair of porcelain vases

and the silk cloth

my aunt gave me.

Get to work.

We need to rush to the Young Master's Mansion

and donate everything.

That's all I have.

Take them all.

Quick, help me.

Miss.

Do I have to go with you too?

Of course.

Well,

you won't also give me away

on impulse, right?

If you don't get to work right now,

I'll really give you away too.

If Lord finds out

I helped you empty the Xiao's Mansion,

he will

kill me.

Coward.

Have you learned nothing during your time with me?

Can't you learn

to be brave like me?

If you don't want to go,

I can handle this

perfectly

by myself.

I don't need anyone else.

Captain Tang.

Why are you here?

I'm here to organize the case files.

How can I bother you

with such a menial task?

Let me do it.

You're diligent and keep a low profile.

Captain Tang,

you have a bright future.

In the future,

I still need you to look out for me, Sir.

No problem.

But

storing all the completed case files here like this

keeps things organized.

If there are wrongful convictions in the future,

it'll be easier to investigate.

The supervision guards

are very thoughtful.

Let me tell you.

You're too naive.

The Archives Room

is not a place to investigate

wrongful convictions.

This is the place for Cangyue officials

to flaunt their achievements.

There is not a single case file

of wrongful convictions.

Case files of wrongful convictions

have long been destroyed.

No wonder I couldn't find

any records of

the Luo family's massacre.

There must be something wrong with the case.

Captain Tang.

Bring it here.

This way.

This time, I'll prove it

to my cousin.

Then he'll have to learn from me

how to donate.

It's so heavy.

I'm so tired.

You scared me.

Watch where you're going!

Move!

What are you doing?

Stop right there! This is a robbery!

Rob...

robbery?

That...

that won't do.

Help!

Don't move!

Don't move!

Stop!

I was so scared.

Luckily you came.

I was praying for

my daddy and cousin to come and save me.

But none of them came.

I was so scared, Tang Qing.

All right.

No.

All right.

Why are you dressed so luxuriously?

You are asking to be robbed.

This is all to raise funds for the reconstruction of

Jianjia Alley.

Who knew I'd run into bad guys?

All right.

The bad guy has left.

I still have to patrol.

Go back now.

Don't tell me you think

patrolling is more important than me?

That's not what I meant,

Miss Fengyi.

I have so much treasure and jewelry with me.

It attracts too much attention.

What if I run into bad guys again?

You have to be responsible for me.

Escort me to the Young Master's Mansion.

Miss...

You're not allowed to refuse.

I will never forget

what I promised you.

But the current situation is complicated.

My mother is in a difficult situation.

If I'm gone too,

there will be

no one left to take care of her.

Siyan,

can you give me more time?

But things are unpredictable.

Who knows

what will happen next?

I've been feeling uneasy lately.

Don't worry.

My brother promised me.

He won't accept the marriage offer.

But Young Master

is also not free from the control of others.

At this point,

I'm in a dilemma.

Because of me, you're always worried

and getting thinner every day.

Siyan,

I've let you down.

Don't say that.

I understand.

And I know that you truly love me.

But you need to take care of your mother.

Sometimes, you have to do things against your will.

There are many things in our relationship

that are beyond our control.

Don't be so pessimistic.

Eventually, all will be fine.

If things

don't go smoothly,

even if I have to give everything up,

I will elope with you.

Where are my treasures?

Where are my precious porcelain

and antique paintings?

It's...

Speak up!

It's Miss.

She took them to the Young Master's Mansion

to donate.

Donate?

Master, hold on.

This senseless girl.

I've been wise all my life.

How could I have raised

such a silly daughter?

I spent my whole life

collecting these antique paintings

and precious porcelain.

Yet she just gave them away without thought.

All right.

Leave.

Leave quickly.

Yes.

Luckily,

she didn't take the most important one.

I have to move it to another hiding place.

Come and have a look, my friends.

I have brought everything valuable

from the Xiao's Mansion.

I want to show you and my daddy

what is charity.

Cousin,

does uncle know about this?

No.

Why?

Are you going to stop me from donating?

No, no, no.

Well done.

Of course.

Look at my treasures.

They are all valuable.

One should not

be stingy with charity.

I went into the Supervision Army's Archives Room

and searched many times.

But I didn't find the Luo family's case file.

Since we can't find the case file there,

there must be something wrong with it.

Since we can't find any leads

from the Supervision Army,

we need to seek a breakthrough

at the Planning Department.

After all, my father was

the Director of the Planning Department.

There should be some leads there.

Let me investigate this.

Have you found the Swing Painting?

A few days ago,

the Young Master took me to Xiao's Mansion.

I took the chance to

get into Commander Xiao's study

and found a secret room.

But I almost got caught

before I could check it.

Tang Qing.

Tang Qing, where are you?

Qing.

You've been very close to

Fengyi recently.

Are

-the two of you... -No.

Stop talking nonsense.

I haven't said anything yet.

Fine.

Let's say that's nonsense.

Qing.

You're not young anymore.

You should think about getting married and settling down.

No...

Yunxi, you...

I'm leaving.

Bye.

That's enough.

You saved Fengyi,

so I must reward you handsomely.

Tell me.

What reward do you want?

It was nothing.

But

when she goes out in the future,

it'd be better for her

to have bodyguards.

I don't want bodyguards.

Having people follow me wherever I go

would be so annoying.

Tang Qing.

Why don't you be my bodyguard?

Thank you for valuing me.

But my ambition

lies in the Supervision Army,

where I'll build my career.

You can also build a career with me.

What do you want?

I'll ask my daddy to give it to you.

Right?

I will earn

what I want.

Listen to this.

This young man is so ambitious.

Fengyi,

don't make things difficult for him.

You want a good guard?

No problem.

I'll get you

a good one.

No.

Tang Qing.

If you don't want to be my guard,

then be my teacher.

Teach me KungFu.

Then I won't be afraid of bad guys anymore.

Father.

Tang Qing is great at KungFu.

Really?

But it depends on

whether he's willing or not.

Tang Qing, just say yes.

It won't waste your time

or delay your work.

You just need to

spend a little time

teaching me

every day.

Let's go.

No time to lose. Start teaching me now.

Miss.

Stop dawdling. Hurry up.

Keep an eye on Tang Qing.

-Refund! -Refund!

[Liaowu Mansion]

Refund!

-Pay up! -Pay up!

Everyone!

Everyone!

Please listen to me.

The Young Master is really not here today.

When he comes back,

he will give you an explanation.

Okay?

No.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

You...

Step back!

You...

Stop touching me!

How dare you!

Wuyan, what should we do?

My clinic's entrance

is full of people demanding refunds.

I thought the Young Master's Mansion

would be better.

I didn't expect

the situation here to be worse.

Why don't we refund the money first?

We've spent all the money we raised

to build Futian Institution.

We don't have any money left.

Without refunds,

what else can we do?

You haven't figured out a solution yet?

Last time, you swore that

you'd overcome all obstacles.

Yes.

I was right.

We've overcome the last obstacle,

and now

we're onto the next.

I really want to beat some sense into you.

Don't hit me.

This is not

without solutions.

How about I report about the charity fraud

to the Cangyue tabloids?

People would be enraged.

Then, let's see if they still dare to

-ask for more money... -This is mutual destruction.

Are you trying to

drag me into it too?

Brother.

As for me,

I wanted to

work well with you

and build a good reputation

among the people and the officials.

Then, Father will also

be impressed.

I didn't expect

to lose face

before even earning any money.

Chuxian.

Don't be anxious.

If we work together,

we can definitely turn things around.

It's okay, brother.

If I fail,

I'll sell my clinic

and pay for some of the refunds.

Chuxian,

you can't sell the clinic.

You can earn more money

by taking in more female patients.

I heard that those noble women

pretended to be sick

and spent a fortune at your clinic,

just to spend more time with you.

I have an idea.

Look carefully.

So handsome.

Your turn.

My turn?

How?

This...

It's been two hours.

Yet you haven't learned a single move.

What did I do wrong?

This is how you practiced just now.

When did I?

I wasn't clumsy like that.

Teach me then.

Stand upright.

Your hand.

Hand.

My hand.

My hand.

Straighten your arm.

Straighten.

Kick.

The other leg.

What's wrong?

I-I-I'm fine.

I'm just too tired from practicing martial arts.

Your hand.

My hand.

Straighten it.

Open your shoulders.

Straighten your arm.

Make a fist.

Open up your shoulders.

Tang Qing.

You're so handsome.

You're more handsome than cousin.

Don't be distracted. Focus on the practice.

I've been paying attention.

Then have you learned the moves?

What do you think?

I'm good, aren't I?

You can stop practicing.

Do I pass the test so quickly?

Am I a martial arts genius?

Are you practicing martial arts or dancing?

When the robbers see

such sloppy skills,

they will only get more excited.

Well,

it's my fault.

I've never learned martial arts before.

Let's practice the basics first.

Deep squat.

I knew something was wrong with him.

He was so eager to

enter my study.

What do you think he wanted?

Tang Qing and Yunxi

were taught by an old beggar.

Their mapping skills are similar

to the Luo's style.

It seems that

they are connected to

the Luo family.

Beggar?

I even suspect

if there was that old beggar.

You mean...

I'm afraid

you've been duped from the start.

That's my fault.

Is there any news from the Young Master's Mansion?

Not yet.

But

Pepper is trusted by Yunxi.

If something is wrong with Yunxi,

Pepper will

find out.

Yunxi

makes me feel uneasy.

She knows mapping.

The techniques she uses

to draw construction plans

and make models

are in the Luo family's style.

Yunxi.

Is she

about the same age

as Luo Hexuan's sister?

She seems to be.

Do you think Yunxi is

Luo Hexuan's sister?

Yunxi.

You know I don't want to see her.

Why did you invite her here?

Didn't we have an agreement

last time?

It's a misunderstanding.

You're such a fence-straddler.

But I can't tolerate a mistake.

I won't be with her.

You must choose one.

It's up to you.

Miss Fengyi is reasonable

and not petty.

The past has long passed.

Why do you keep mentioning it?

What you said is pleasant.

Last time you coveted my cousin.

If I hadn't...

Miss, stop arguing.

We are here

for Young Master.

How about let go of your prejudice

and solve the problem?

I'll be magnanimous.

I'll reluctantly agree.

Don't do it again.

I've drafted the invitation

in the name of Miss Nangong

and Miss Fengyi,

to invite all the ladies in the city.

[Invitation]

Does this really work?

Can we really attract these ladies

to spend their money?

One is elegant.

One is dashing.

One is mighty.

Yunxi.

That's good.

Are you tired?

It's just a few invitations.

I'm not tired.

Why didn't you call me

when you were writing?

Let me give you a massage.

Cousin and Yunxi

really love each other.

You two make a perfect couple.

Why are you all looking at me?

I'm telling the truth.

But

I have to warn someone.

I will be

the Lady of Young Master.

Don't waste your time.

Let's take a look at these paintings.

Mr. Chi's appearance lights the city.

[Mr. Chi]

[Mr. Li]

[Mr. Zhao]

Mr. Zhao

is tall and good-looking.

Nice choice.

How can this be nice?

He's not as good-looking as Wuyan.

Not manly at all.

Every man

has their own style

and beauty.

Since it's a beauty show,

we should

accept the beauty

of different styles.

And I've prepared

some starring stars.

Starring stars?

Why don't I know about it?

Don't worry.

You'll know when the time comes.

[Prince Jing]

This is not good.

Too ugly.

Tang Qing looks better.

[Mr. Tang]

[Prince Kang Prince Jing]

[The First Beauty Show in Cangyue City]

Look at this.

This is handsome.

Look at our Young Master.

-Really? -I think he's handsome too.

Right?

Miss Jiang.

Everyone is here,

as well as the Lady of Cangyue City.

So what?

Can't she wait?

I've shown her enough respect

by coming here.

There's so many people.

Greetings, Your Ladyship.

Greetings, Miss Jiang.

Fengyi,

you're really capable.

To raise money for your cousin to build Futian Institution,

you've invited so many people.

In the future, you must be a significant support

as the Lady of Young Master.

Aunt,

I'm not the only one working.

Everyone works hard.

You don't ask for credit.

You're the most

virtuous and reasonable one.

Mother,

you've forgot to

praise two others.

I heard

Miss Nangong also contributed a lot.

The invitations

to these ladies

were sent in her name.

And Miss Yunxi.

She also put a lot of work into it.

Mingse.

In terms of contribution,

you're thoughtful.

Even more reasonable

than your mother.

Mother, you are busy at

managing the business in the Master's Mansion.

It's inevitable to be weary.

It's normal

to forget something.

As your daughter,

I am expected to remind

and care about you.

You are really observant.

No wonder your father loves you the most.

Father loves every child.

He treats me exceptionally

because my birth mother

is his first wife.

My mother died young.

But my father's love for her is still on his mind.

Dr. Qi.

Yunxi,

you should have told me earlier that

we are the starring stars.

Then I could prepare before,

and wouldn't be

so nervous now.

Dr. Qi, don't be nervous.

You are definitely the brightest star

in Cangyue City.

Will there be no accident?

Don't worry.

Miss Nangong is ready.

No problem.

You really asked me here just to watch the show?

Don't tell me

you're planning to sell me?

How is that possible?

I'm not willing to.

I just want you

to show your support.

After all,

you are the most elegant

and charming man

in Cangyue City.

Trust me.

Everything is under control.

Coming.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the selection

of Top 10 Mr. Cangyue.

Please enjoy the styles of these attractive boys in our city.

-Great! -Great!

Look.

It's interesting.

I didn't expect

mother could be so lively.

I'm sure when father sees it,

he would be

a little surprised.

Next, welcome the first handsome man.

Great!

Let's welcome the next one.

He plays the broadsword with mighty power,

as if he can destroy the mountains.

Okay.

Next one

is Guard Tang.

Great!

The sword is bright. The spirit is inspiring.

-Bravo! -Bravo!

Let's welcome Dr. Xian.

So handsome.

It's nice.

The sound of the Chinese flute

is lingering and sorrowful.

Ladies, clap your hands!

Great!

Bravo!

Awesome!

Let's welcome the next one.

Who is he?

Have fun!

Who chose him?

He's coming.

Finally, let's welcome the Young Master

to watch this show.

My cousin is so handsome.

Next is the time

for reward and bidding.

This show is supervised

by the government.

The highest bidder

can have a tour of Zhaohe River

with her beloved one.

Now,

let's offer rewards

for your beloved one.

Great!

A carriage.

I'll pay one manor.

I'll pay 50 thousand liang.

Then I'll pay 100 thousand liang.

I'll reward Dr. Xian

a painted boat.

Great!

Great!

10 thousand liang!

10 thousand liang!

10 thousand liang?

That much?

Of gold.

-Gold! -Gold!

Gold!

10 thousand liang of gold.

Gold! Gold!

Of gold!

Miss! Miss!

Hurry up.

Bid.

Miss,

if you spend more than 10 thousand liang of gold,

your father will die of anger.

Yunxi,

I know my father.

If I spend more than 10 thousand liang of gold,

he'll die of anger.

And before he dies,

he'll kill me.

Where does the fatty girl come from?

She is the daughter of the Du family,

the richest family in Cangyue City.

Judging from what happened today,

I'm sure this family will be the support

of Xi'er in the future.

If he wants to be a Master for long,

both power and money are essential.

You have thought a lot

for Xi'er's future.

I didn't expect

you could find another choice this soon.

The show is over.

Although some ladies

can't tour

with a handsome man on the Zhaohe River,

you can't return with nothing.

We've prepared some handmade pillows

and fans with portraits.

Remember to offer your reward.

Why did you bid for Dr. Xian?

I was helping Miss Siyan.

Xi'er.

Mother.

I'll talk to you later.

Mother.

Why are you here?

Fengyi invited me here.

I didn't expect it to be so interesting.

Look at how happy sister is.

I should have gone to your mansion

and got some treasures or antiques

to supplement our donation.

Sure.

But,

why don't you ask mother?

She's much richer than me.

Tang Qing!

I have bought you.

Isn't it

a surprise?

Miss!
