[Pretty Guardian of the City]

[Episode 19]

Miss!

-Help! -Help me!

Aunt!

Help me!

Go save Fengyi!

Yes! Go! Save her!

Go!

Siyan!

Help!

Si...

Cousin.

-Tang Qing. -It' s alright.

It's okay.

Miss Nangong.

Give me your hand.

Are you okay?

Mother tried so hard

to arrange such a play.

Don't you know

there's always a change in life.

Wuyan.

Let me give you a piece of advice.

Young Master is in a bad mood now.

You'd better not mess with him.

To be honest,

what you did this time

was too much.

Not only did you hurt Young Master,

but also me.

How did I hurt you?

Why wasn't I on the list?

Am I not romantic

or not handsome?

Think about it.

You are Young Master's personal guard.

If you do something else,

and you get distracted,

who's gonna protect Young Master?

Am I right?

Sounds reasonable.

Can I go in now?

Young Master.

I have good news.

The beauty show has earned a lot of money.

Our problem has been solved.

It's my fault that

I didn't tell you before.

But it's nothing.

I'm just helping Miss Siyan

to protect Dr. Qi.

Young Master.

I've said so much,

but you still won't forgive me?

I'm leaving then.

I already apologized.

I know I was wrong.

I'll give a boat for Dr. Xian.

Can you make it up to me by apologizing?

Don't mind the process.

Do you realize?

We're rich now.

After paying off the refunds

of the rich officials,

we can still have a lot.

You're the biggest contributor

of the fundraising for the Futian Institution this time.

After Futian Institution is built,

I must pick

the brightest place

to build a memorial tablet for you.

It can bless you

both happiness and longevity.

If you had tried less tricks,

you wouldn't have gave a boat to another man

behind my back.

Yunxi, what's wrong?

There are many people today.

If grandpa knows

I help Chuxian to raise his value,

I will be punished.

Besides,

the Lady of Cangyue City is also here.

Chuxian and I are not supposed to

cause gossip.

What should we do?

That's easy.

I'll help you to save Dr. Xian.

Wouldn't that make everyone happy?

It's really not my fault.

I didn't expect

this would happen.

You're still so righteous.

Don't you feel

a little guilty?

Of course I do.

My heart aches for you.

But think about it.

It's 10,000 liang of gold.

How much can you do with it

for the people in South City?

Don't you think it's worth it?

I'm angry now.

Young Master.

Don't be angry, okay?

I know I was wrong.

Tell me.

How can you forgive me?

Don't act first and report later.

You must tell me everything beforehand.

So...

there can't be secrets between us.

Okay, I promise you.

Miss, it's getting late.

You should go to bed.

You may leave.

Yes.

Miss, it's Dr. Xian.

Miss, do you want to play the zither?

Miss.

♫The longing is mysterious like misty rain♫

♫Her tenderness stirs up deep and ceaseless affection♫

♫The oath is about to be spoken but stopped♫

♫Afraid that the dream will shatter♫

♫It' s hard to rewrite the ending even after half a lifetime of repentance♫

♫We meet in the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus as the rain knocks♫

♫Smiling under the umbrella brings back the longing again♫

♫The one with desire can’t help that the other does not reciprocate♫

♫Heartbreaking zither music fills my dream for the rest of my life♫

♫There is no cure for romantic longing that causes inconsolable heartache♫

♫Clearly interested but biased against the one with desire♫

Xi'er.

These days,

you've done your best

to raise money for Futian Institution.

With your achievements today,

you deserve all the credit.

Thank you, Father.

It's all thanks to my third brother

for completing the task.

He and I are united and

he is so capable.

He made a great contribution.

He has to be

the greatest contributor.

Fine.

I'm very pleased to see

you treat Xian'er so kindly.

In the future,

you two can get along well.

It's a good thing for him

to help you build Cangyue.

Everyone,

do you have anything else to discuss

today?

We don't have anything else.

Good.

In that case,

let's call it a day.

Farewell, Master.

Young Master.

Yes?

It's time to return the money.

Let's settle the accounts.

Yes.

With our relationship with Young Master,

the interest will be less.

Right?

That's right.

Today,

it's time

to settle accounts with you.

Here.

They are all here.

Okay.

Come on.

Here.

[Hubby Pay]

[My husband will pay for the 200 taels of silver I spent today. A mere verbal statement is no guarantee. Take this as a proof.]

[Signature: Li Qianqin]

This...

This...

This...

How is this a promissory note?

Miss, don't worry.

There is a new way to pay

for this cruise.

Hubby Pay.

To put it bluntly,

it's just a promissory note.

But the promissory note

is not paied off by you.

Who will pay for it?

As long as you press a fingerprint

under the prepared promissory note,

your husbands

will pay for you.

Well...

Think about it.

Your husbands

throw out money relentlessly.

If you want your husbands' attention,

you have to let them spend money for you.

That makes sense.

I'll sign 600 taels first.

Me too.

Me too.

Me too.

Me too.

Look carefully.

Let me see yours.

This is the bill of Hubby Pay.

It records

the daily expenses

of your wives and daughters.

They all have fingerprints.

The amount is also marked.

See for yourself.

This doesn't make sense.

Come on.

Yes.

I've calculated

the amount of money on Hubby Pay

and it happens to offset

the amount of money

you require to refund.

There is even some left after paying off your refunds.

I will go to your mansions

to collect the money later.

What's going on?

What a sin!

Scoundrel!

Young Master,

Those women signed it out of mischief.

It can't be counted.

Yes.

Yes.

It can't be counted.

Don't.

Don't deny it.

Let me tell you.

I asked the local government

to supervise them.

These are all legitimate

according to the law of Cangyue.

Uncle.

Don't go.

It's all thanks to your advice

so that

the task was completed so well.

But don't worry.

I will return your donation

in private.

Nonsense.

There's no such repayment.

Didn't we discuss it?

I said once I'd raise donations

I would return the 5, 000 taels of silver

you donated.

No, no

How could you

speak so casually?

It will make the listeners misunderstand.

People will think

it was us

who set a trap

to deceive people.

Hurry up.

Explain to them.

It's my fault.

It's my fault.

I should have discussed it

in private.

However,

I'll keep my word.

I will definitely pay you back.

You...

This...

My lords,

how can we take back

the donation?

I've always been kind

and tried to do good deeds.

I never falsified.

The money...

I donate it all.

Thank you.

You see.

I was set up

by him

in meeting hall.

In general, Xi'er is a playboy

and doesn't care about politics.

I thought he was too playful.

But unexpectedly,

he didn't think about the consequences

How dare he hurt you?

No!

He

is not

as careless as before.

Even I can't handle

his succesive tricks.

I knew

there was something wrong with him.

I didn't expect him to be

more and more disobedient.

I'm also worried about this.

I wanted to arrange his marriage with Fengyi

as soon as possible.

At the beauty show yesterday,

I especially made a play

for the hero to save the beauty.

I wanted to cater to the "three rescue",

and let Xi'er marry her.

But unexpectedly,

Xi'er excaped from it.

What was the use of your arrangement?

He still dares to disobey

you and Master.

Now,

let's think of another way.

Before Xi'er

getting out of our control,

we can strangle this wild horse

with one move.

That's hilarious.

Stop.

Let me tell you.

Young Master has suffered a lot this time.

Once he went aboard the boat

with that Fatty Du,

she ran after Young Master,

and wanted to be close to him.

He was scared and hid around.

Later, he used

a slight step.

But that Fatty Du is too heavy.

The tip of the boat

went straight upward.

Young Master fell into the water

by surprise.

All right.

It's all in the past. Let's not talk about it.

By the way, third brother,

the problem in Futian Institution

has been solved.

Father praised you

in the meeting hall.

Why are you still

not happy?

Is it because of Miss Nangong?

It's all my fault.

It was so dangerous,

but I couldn't save her.

But it was not your fault.

It was an emergency,

and you were so far away from her,

Right?

Why are you so worried

about Nangong Siyan?

Since when

you two become so close?

Miss.

Everyone knows

the affection

between Dr. Xian and Miss Nangong.

You're the only one who doesn't know.

And you always bully her.

So you two are a couple.

Yes.

That's why

you've gone too far

to treat Miss Nangong that way.

You should have told me earlier.

By the way,

you two are a perfect match.

You also speaks like a book.

I don't understand.

I really don't understand.

All right.

Let's not talk about this.

This time,

we did something big together.

Tonight,

we should celebrate it.

Come.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Cheers.

We did

a meaningful thing together,

Everyone is happy.

Why are you still pulling a long face?

I've been like this since I was a kid.

I don't like to smile.

Nonsense.

Every time when you are with Yunxi,

you can smile very happily.

Look.

You're not talking again.

But I like

talking to you

and sharing my joy with you.

Today,

I have another happy thing to share with you.

Nangong Siyan

will never steal my cousin from me again.

Is Jiang Chaoxi that nice?

You like him that much?

That's different.

I'm worried that someone will steal my cousin away.

It's not because I like him.

Since I was young,

my father

said that I would be the Lady of Cangyue.

No one can take this place away from me.

Why are you so good-looking?

It would be great

if I didn't have to be the Lady of Cangyue.

Then I can marry you.

Miss,

you'd better drink less in the future.

You're talking nonsense.

Although I am loose-lipped,

I never talk nonsense.

I say what I think in my heart.

Every day with you

is a good day.

Promise me.

You'll be happy every day.

I promise you.

We will be together forever.

I always thought

I was carefree

and didn't care about anything.

But now,

I'm reluctant to leave.

I don't want to leave the world.

And I don't want to leave you even more.

Your body...

Fighting fire with fire

no longer helps.

So, don't use it again.

Isn't that ridiculous?

I was already ready

to die.

But at the last moment,

I get cold feet.

I really regret it.

I knew I was going to die,

but I still fell in love with Young Master.

It just makes me not want to leave this world even more.

When love is at hand,

one can't help it.

Sometimes,

I really envy you.

Although your life is about to end,

you are brave enough to love

at the last moment.

But what about me?

I couldn't even save my love

when she was in danger.

Which woman doesn't want the person she loves

to be her side

when things go wrong?

You might as well sincerely

apologize to her.

Miss Nangong is sensible

and has a deep love for you.

I'm sure she won't be too harsh on you.

But I have let her down

too many times.

Then you have even more reasons

to apologize to her.

It's not about the forgiveness,

but let her see

that you care about her.

Master.

There's news from Young Master's Mansion.

[Luo Hexuan is hiding in Young Master's Mansion]

What?

Luo Hexuan is hidden in Young Master's Mansion?

What are you doing?

Acting like this in broad daylight.

If others saw you,

they would make fun of you again.

I just passed by the garden

and saw the beautiful flowers.

They remind me of you.

Thank you.

Why are you sweating so much?

You don't look well either.

Are you not feeling well again?

I'm fine.

I'm just tired

of drawing design maps.

Don't worry.

How can I not worry?

Should I call a doctor for you?

No need.

I'll be fine after some rest.

How about

you hold me while we lie down for a while?

Yunxi,

how about I...

Say no more.

Just hold me.

Our umbrella.

Miss.

What are you waiting for?

Take it!

Come on.

One, two, three.

Again.

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Get in the carriage now.

In case you catch a cold.

Thank you, Young Master.

Take it.

Let's go.

Miss, let's get in the carriage.

Miss!

Okay.

Just now it was sunny.

Why suddenly it rained?

We can't make it to the temple.

So we have to go back now.

I feel sorry for you, Miss.

You were drenched.

Luckily, the young master showed up in time.

He hold an umbrella for you

and push our carriage for you.

He knows how to cherish a girl!

Don't talk nonsense.

What I said is true.

I think

among his brothers,

the young master is the best.

Not only is he handsome,

but he is also meticulous and decisive.

Compared to him,

even the gentlest Mr. Xian

seems a little indecisive.

Huayuan!

Don't talk about others behind their backs!

Yes.

[Nangong's Mansion]

Miss.

Dr. Xian is here.

Siyan.

That day,

I couldn't save you.

I was wrong.

You know,

I didn't have a choice...

No.

You have a choice.

It's just that your every choice

is to give up on me.

How could I...

Siyan, I won't give up on you.

You know

I have my reasons.

Reasons?

You have your reasons every time.

I've had enough.

I don't want to give myself up

to understand you.

That day, the Lady of Cangyue City was there too.

If I save you

before my brother,

my mother...

My mother will be punished by Her Ladyship.

Your mother again?

Since your whole heart is for your mother,

why do you come to me?

I think I should be grateful for falling off the building.

Otherwise,

I still wouldn't be able to see

what a coward you are.

Look at Young Master.

He is so determined

to go to Yunxi.

As long as you had

a little of his courage,

we wouldn't be like this now.

Siyan!

Siyan.

I understand what you mean.

I swear to you.

In the future,

I will become

someone like my big brother

to protect and shield the woman

I love.

I won't let you suffer anymore.

OK?

I don't need it anymore.

From now on,

I won't put my hopes

on you anymore.

Everything we had in the past,

just take it as

a dream.

Siyan!

Chairman.

I thought

you and Siyan grew up together

and have been together for years.

Let's not talk about daily things.

But when she was in danger,

you would always stand up for her.

I really didn't expect you

to be such a coward!

You have always been against us.

Now that you have what you want,

you don't have to hit me when I'm down.

I'm glad

I've been against you!

Do I have to

give my precious granddaughter

to a man,

an indecisive man, like you?

You can't even protect

the woman you love.

I think you won't achieve anything great

in your life.

Young Master.

Young Master, drink this ginger soup

and warm yourself up.

Wuyan!

Why did you let the young master get drenched

after going out?

How did you serve him?

It was the young master who was kind

and gave Miss Nangong the umbrella.

I got wet too.

Why are you so delicate?

Should I just

watch a girl to get wet in the rain?

By the way, where is Yunxi?

She is talking

with Guard Tang.

Guard Tang?

Why can she talk

to everyone except me?

You said Commander Xiao

has hidden the Swing Painting somewhere else?

I've searched carefully

for the mechanism you mentioned.

There was nothing wrong about it.

I'm afraid we have alerted him

and he hid the painting somewhere else.

One more thing.

What is it?

I've searched

all the files of the Supervision Army.

I finally found a lead

about the Luo family's tragedy.

The person who reported your father's corruption

was his only disciple.

Song Qing.

Are you sure?

I've verified it.

And after what happened to your family,

Song Qing

was promoted to be

the head of the Planning Room by Commander Xiao.

So,

the one who framed my father was Song Qing?

Then he set up

my father's suicide too?

Not necessarily.

At that time,

he was just a minor officer

in the Planning Room.

He was not that capable.

According to the investigator

from the Supervision Guard,

the Luo family's tragedy

was most likely caused by

intentional poisoning.

The investigator

had doubts about the cause of your family's death,

but he died in an accident.

But Commander Xiao

suppressed these doubts

and closed the case hastily.

To be concluded,

the mastermind behind this

should be Commander Xiao.

It's him.

He not only put my brother

in a coma

but also killed my parents.

If I don't take revenge,

I will be a disgrace to our family.

Yunxi,

calm down.

You know

the Xiao Mansion is heavily guarded.

If you go to him like this, you'll die.

How can I calm down?

Xiao Huasheng

destroyed my family!

I can't wait to

cut him into pieces!

Qing.

If you stop me,

don't blame me for turning against you!

Yunxi,

since you have made up your mind,

I'll go with you.

Now is not the good time

to kill Xiao Huasheng.

Don't do anything stupid.
