[Love Like the Galaxy]

[Episode 2]

Young Lord, His Majesty didn't blame you for going straight to handling the case without entering the palace first, did he?

Why would he?

Young Lord is His Majesty's foster son.

His Majesty wouldn't bear to.

Young Lord, did His Majesty give you any handwritten order or token

allowing us to search and confiscate whoever's property we're investigating?

And kill them all!

Silence!

So did he?

Do you think we're still on the battlefield? All you think of is fighting and killing.

Since we came back triumphant today, His Majesty said our merits can compensate for our mistakes.

But for this military weapons case,

His Majesty's orders are to wait.

So we're not going to continue investigating?

When did I say that?

This secretly stealing military weapons has been a prick in my heart for many years.

It can't wait.

Didn't His Majesty say to wait?

You're so stupid.

Young Lord, we've arrived at Marquis Chengyang's manor.

Since returning to the capital, we haven't paid Marquis Chengyang a visit.

Earlier while we were still on the battlefield, I heard that

there was already gossip among the court officials.

Mostly gossiping about me being unfilial.

The charges against me are plenty.

I'm not afraid of one more.

Mother, you should take care of yourself.

Don't get sick because of this.

It is my fault that I didn't hide Uncle well.

I thought that nobody would find Uncle

if he stayed at the village.

Who knew that Fourth Miss would be so cruel?

She held grudges against Mother and me for punishing her

and took ruthless revenge upon us.

You didn't plan it well. So unreliable.

Whoever harbors criminals

is implicated as guilty.

It is truly not filial

if Mother is implicated due to this.

So what you mean is

Fourth Miss didn't do anything wrong

to let her great uncle be arrested.

Instead, she rendered great services to our family.

Uncle has been embezzling armaments.

Niao Niao sacrificed her family bond for the right thing.

If you're not convinced, you can go to the government and argue over it.

Brother-in-law, don't take advantage of me just because I'm a woman,

and scare me with the government.

It's true I don't understand the rules of the bureaucrats.

But I know that family members

are always bonded. How can they betray one another?

Brother-in-law, you'd better figure out a way to bail him out.

Are you just going to let Mother

suffer from the pain of losing her close relative at such an elderly age?

Embezzling armaments is a crime subject to military law.

How can I possibly bail him out?

I don't care!

Eldest son! You have to figure out a way to save your uncle.

Eldest son! Eldest son!

Now you only care about your wife as your family.

You don't care about your uncle at all!

- And you don't care about me as your mother! - Mother.

Last time, I asked you to prepare twenty thousand qian

for your aunt to get a daughter-in-law, and you were not willing to.

But when your wife's brother needed to attend school,

you didn't even blink your eyes when you spent the money for him.

Your wife's brother is your brother.

Do you think your mother's brother is not her brother?

Other people's wives

are helping out with their husband's families with the dowry they get from their parents.

But my sister-in-law

is using her husband's money for her own family's benefit.

He was not getting a new wife! He was getting a concubine!

He was young.

Attending school and marrying a proper wife is the right thing to do.

Also, that money was earned because Yuanyi was by my side

in the battlefield risking our lives.

Why can't she use it?

We're all one family. Why should we separate my family and his family?

I'm not as canny as you, Sister-in-law.

Are you indicating that Mother-in-law

is often using money to help out her own family?

Mother, I don't mean that at all!

You're all against me.

Go away! All of you leave!

Brother-in-law. Sister-in-law.

You came back in a hurry this time.

We haven't had a chance to tidy up and move out of the master bedroom yet.

I've vacated a few rooms in the backyard for your family to live in.

It will also be convenient for you to live harmoniously.

You want us all to live in the sideyard?

Convenient? How is this convenient?

Brother-in-law, you haven't seen Fourth Miss for more than 10 years.

My arrangement will let you get closer, right?

We'll do as you arranged, Sister-in-law.

You're faking virtue.

I'm staying in the master room and will never move.

Let's see what you'll do.

We really owe Niao Niao.

Look at how pale her lips are.

You can't see the color of blood at all.

We've no idea how much hardship she's endured at home.

Madam, Lian Fang is here.

All right.

Did Madam Ge ever find a doctor to treat Niao Niao?

Second Madam said that it's good for a child to have a few days of fever before recovering.

She's always neglected her.

All these years, we've been sent down to the country village from time to time.

Her parents are fighting on the battlefield.

Not a penny was spent on Young Miss.

Not only did she not have enough clothes and food, but there was also no one to take care of her when she was sick.

We were left to survive or die on our own.

Why did they send

Niao Niao to the countryside without any reason?

Second Madam married into the Cheng family more than ten years ago and hasn't born a son.

So she wanted to adopt the 10-year-old nephew from her own family.

A few days ago, she brought the nephew to the manor to live.

Young Miss was being kind.

She gave him a gourd of honey as a snack.

Who could have expected the gourd attracted wild bees as soon as it was opened?

The wild bees stung the nephew all over his head.

Second Madam sent Young Miss down to discipline her temper.

It was the weather when drops of water would turn into ice,

and she was left in that village.

This Madam Ge is truly vicious.

Second Brother should divorce her.

The gourd of honey

was opened by the nephew himself,

or opened by Niao Niao?

Young Miss opened it.

A 10-year-old child can't even open a lid by himself,

and he asked Niao Niao to open it?

Why didn't he go inside the house to eat honey,

instead of eating it in a courtyard full of flowers?

Some things shouldn't be done.

If you do, have them done properly

so that there's no gossip.

General, I just asked the doctor.

Niao Niao's fainting this time wasn't because of the chill.

It's because her stomach was hurt

from eating too much.

It's because Young Miss was too starved.

They usually didn't give her enough for a meal.

Today, they were anxious to bring Young Miss back.

That's why they sent over some food. Young Miss was starving for several days.

She ate too quickly all of a sudden.

She was afraid there wasn't going to be another meal.

Why else would she act this way?

We were out fighting a war

and we thought Niao Niao wouldn't lack anything at home.

Who knew that she didn't even live as well as a refugee?

All right, I know about it now.

You can leave.

Yes.

Madam, you already

left someone trustworthy to take care of Young Miss.

Who would have expected Madam Ge to still harm her?

Now that I've returned,

these things definitely won't happen again.

It's getting late.

Aren't you going to visit Second Brother, General?

I'll go take a look.

As they say, recovering from illness is like picking out silk from the cocoon (takes a long time).

Young Lady's health has suffered much this time.

It's uncertain how long it'll take for her to fully recover.

She fainted at the right time today.

It gave us a reason to point out Mother's wrongdoings.

My mother is really sharp.

She has probably realized that I pretended to faint.

But why is she turning a blind eye to those who mistreated me?

Fortunately, you thought of it

and deliberately reported your return date to be half a month later.

They didn't have time to cover up and gave themselves away.

These people bear grudges against you.

So they took it out on Young Lady

and treated her so badly.

So it wasn't that she didn't know I was suffering at home.

She just allowed it to happen.

Master dotes on Young Lady so much.

He probably won't listen to everything Old Madam says anymore.

Don't worry.

If General was soft-hearted like a woman,

he would have died in battle many times already.

General is a reasonable man who knows right from wrong.

In this world, there isn't really any new wife who can't win against her mother-in-law.

It all depends on whether her husband is willing to help her.

Using her own daughter's suffering as a ruse

to sow discord between Father and Grandmother.

Mother's plan is indeed ruthless.

I'm not worried about my husband.

I'm only worried that after washing my hands of her for more than ten years,

she has become a hopeless case. Now I can only use a firm hand

and use more effort to bring her up to standard.

Instead of going after those who bullied me,

she's thinking of disciplining me.

I can't rely on her.

Looks like I have to rely on myself.

[Ministry of Justice]

I ordered you to send men to keep watch on the Cheng family.

Did you do it?

The Cheng family was in an uproar the whole day.

It was due to the female members of the family.

I heard that Old Madam Cheng was angry

that her younger brother was betrayed by Fourth Miss and wants to punish her.

I have investigated it.

There's nothing suspicious with the people from Cheng Manor these past days, other than Madam Ge, Second Master's wife.

I've verified it. The person who tried to stop us from carrying out the search that day

was a servant of Second Master, Housekeeper Li.

Young Lord, this is a package sent over by a servant from Cheng Manor.

He said it's from Fourth Miss to you.

Don't tell me they're trying to bribe you with money?

Why is it a pile of trash?

This Cheng family...

has some really filial members.

[Ge Family Textile Shop]

Young Lord, it's just like what you thought.

There's indeed something wrong with the textile shop's accounts.

Warehouse Keeper Dong invested 80,000 qian in this textile shop.

His salary is meager. That money must be of illicit means.

Young Lord hasn't thrown away the trash that Fourth Miss sent as a prank?

Could it be that the reason Fourth Miss sent us these

was to tell us about this textile shop?

The hay refers to the haystack that Warehouse Keeper Dong hid in that day.

And these pieces of fabric pointed out the textile shop.

It's really interesting.

This Fourth Miss...

gave us this riddle in such a roundabout way.

Is she trying to ingratiate herself with us?

This Fourth Miss is probably trying to get us to help her escape.

Why do we need to help her?

She has probably already

thought of a way out herself.

I won't drink it. Take it away.

Master pleaded with the imperial physicians to prescribe this medicine.

It's very effective. You should at least drink some, Young Lady.

I've already recovered.

Why do I still have to drink this terrible thing?

This medicine doesn't just cure you, it also helps improve your health.

Hurry and drink it, Young Lady.

You can have the snacks once you're done.

Drink it for me.

I...

Someone's here.

Be quiet.

Why isn't my daughter getting better?

Greetings, Father and Mother.

You don't have to bow.

Why are you still so weak?

It's all Madam Ge's fault for ruining my daughter's health.

Even the medicines aren't helping.

Here, lie down.

The medicine is getting cold. Hurry and let Young Lady drink it.

Yes.

Come...

Drink it up.

Why are you crying?

Father,

this medicine is too bitter.

How about adding some

malt sugar to the medicine?

How can we add stuff into the medicine prescribed by the physicians?

Good medicine is bitter.

As long as you haven't recovered from your illness, you'll have to drink it every day.

Your mother is right.

Listen to your mother. Good medicine is bitter. Drink it.

Be good, Niao Niao. Once you're better,

I'll bring you horse riding and to the lantern fair after the first day of Lunar New Year.

My Niao Niao is so pretty.

All those women in Brother Wan's family,

even if you put them together to form a bouquet,

can't compare to my Niao Niao.

General, what's the use of complimenting a girl's looks all the time?

It's more important to have talent and virtues.

Hurry and drink it, Niao Niao.

Drink it up.

Oh my goodness!

Mother is acting up again.

Hurry and go take a look.

My goodness!

Don't drink it. Later, I'll add some malt sugar in it for you.

That younger brother of mine!

Hurry! A good show is starting soon.

I can't live any longer!

Brother-in-law won't leave Uncle in the lurch for real.

Mother, you mustn't take things too hard.

Older Sister, even if you die, you can't die now. [Aunt Dong - Warehouse Keeper Dong's wife]

If you die for real, there'll be no one to save your youngest brother.

What wrong did our Dong family do?

Our property's going to be confiscated!

If we build a stage in the courtyard,

Grandmother can make up the whole troupe by herself.

Cheng family... I can't live on like this.

I'm going to jump into the well.

Don't you try to stop me!

- Father comes to the stage. - I'm not going to live.

I'll jump into the well.

Mother-in-law!

Mother!

Why did you exert so much force? Were you pushing me down the well for real?

It's enough that I scare them some. Get up, get up.

What's this ruckus?

The well is small. Can you really jump inside?

- You heartless rascal! - Look at Grandmother.

Strong and thick arms, that big torso.

What a pity that she isn't a general.

Even if she had fallen down,

it would be good enough

if she cracked open a new well.

This well is small.

I can't jump inside. I... I...

I will crash into the wall then.

I'm going to crash into the wall to see your father again.

You... ull me.

I'm hitting the wall.

Mother-in-law!

Mother-in-law, are you all right?

You try hitting the wall and see if you'll be all right.

Y-You should have held onto my arm. Why did you hold on to my sleeve?

I didn't expect you to exert so much force!

Maybe you really wanted me to hit the wall and die?

Brother-in-law is still watching us.

Oh heavens!

Tell me. Will Master really believe Old Madam's show?

Although Father is kindhearted,

he is a general who has been through a hundred battles and killed countless enemies.

How could he be deceived by such a crude trick?

Mother-in-law.

He has spend many years by his mother's side.

He's familiar with every move and every trick.

He won't lose

when he plays a round with Grandmother.

I am unfilial.

I am incapable of saving Uncle.

It's too hard for me!

- It's too hard! - General.

Brother-in-law, aren't you making it difficult for Mother-in-law?

We are one family. No matter how hard, we should save Uncle Dong.

Our general is kneeling to bow to Mother-in-law.

Sister-in-law, you should hurry and move aside.

Are you accepting this kneeling bow, too?

How can you accept my eldest son's bow?

Hurry and move aside. Move aside.

What are you doing? Are you having fun watching me?

I already told Mother before.

Uncle isn't trustworthy.

Father truly is Grandmother's biological son.

He acts so realistically.

Young Miss, you're also truly Master's biological daughter.

Why did he get caught?

Your mother is so pitiful!

My own brothers have died or left.

Your uncle is the only one left.

If it weren't for his difficult life,

he wouldn't have developed a greedy temperament.

Why not just take all the money in our household

to move to Uncle's house then?

This...

Yes! Yes!

Nephew!

When you save your uncle, it's actually saving your mother.

We are one inseparable family!

It's not that I won't save him, but I'm unable to!

That Ling Buyi is an iron-faced king of hell.

If I hadn't just established military merits and returned to the capital,

he would have arrested me as well, a few days ago.

How could I dare to plead to him?

You are a cold-hearted rascal!

Are you going to stand by and watch your uncle die?

Exactly.

Fine. I'm going to complain to His Majesty right now that you are disobedient.

I've heard that our current emperor especially advocates filial piety.

When an official is accused of disobedience,

the punishment could be as light as being charged a fine and getting caned.

Or it could be harsh, with dismissal from your job. Let's see if you're afraid or not.

Mother-in-law, do you know that disobedience is a big crime?

It's a small matter to be caned or dismissed from the job.

If he is conscripted as a soldier or even executed, what would you do?

Even executed?

No one mentioned that.

Mother, you go ahead and file the complaint.

If I don't want to obey Mother's order to go to the authorities to exonerate Uncle,

even such acts of unfilial piety are reported to His Majesty,

I will have no fear!

Now that you're an official,

you are pressing me with national affairs.

Starting today, I won't eat or drink anymore.

Do you think Old Madam really wants to die?

How about a bet?

She won't die in 10 days or half a month.

Have you watched enough of the lively scene?

How is this enough to watch? It's just the first round.

Niao Niao greets Mother.

Did you get a cold, Young Miss?

I just came out for some air,

and probably got too much wind.

Mother, no need to worry.

Since you're not feeling well, why didn't you stay in bed?

The wind is strong outside. It's better to go back to your room and lie down.

Don't come out anymore.

Yes, Mother.

I thought...

my life would be better when my parents returned.

Now it seems that I won't be as carefree as before.

But no matter how strict your mother is, she's better than your aunt.

Madam cares about you, so she's doing it for your own good.

No need to lie to me. I see through it anyway.

Mercy! Mercy!

I'll confess! I'll confess everything!

Mercy!

Where are you taking me?

This guy is really stupid.

When Young Lord asked him questions, he insisted on lying.

Our Young Lord is the smartest among smart people. Of course, he saw through the tricks.

See? He is rewarded with the punishment of kneecap removal. (T/N: the punished person could never stand again)

What? What is the punishment of kneecap removal?

They take a knife and push it into your kneecaps.

And then dig... dig...

Don't say it anymore.

That's actually a good punishment. Last time, a guy was talking tough.

Have you heard of lead pouring?

They poke a hole into your eye and pour lead into it.

Open the door!

General Ling...

General Ling! General Ling!

General Ling! General Ling, spare me.

- Warehouse Keeper Dong. - Spare me, spare me.

General Cheng has asked me to enforce the law impartially.

No matter what ideas you are thinking,

none of them will work.

I really hate it when people lie.

Whenever I run into a liar,

I find him detestable and kill him.

I already have the ledger from the Ge Family Textile Shop.

How dare you continue to lie!

General Ling, I'm innocent.

Men!

My Lord.

Take him, then.

Go!

General Ling.

I'll confess. I'll confess. I'll confess anything. Spare me.

Mercy, please.

- Good sister. - Let me take a look.

Why are you so thin?

Old Madam, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you anymore.

In a while, I'll go to that Ling Buyi and find out about Uncle's situation.

At least it'll let Mother stop for a while.

After all, Uncle is imprisoned because he was reported by Niao Niao. I'm afraid Mother will continue to make things difficult for her.

Husband, there is a solution to take care of both sides.

Do you remember Old Woman Hu?

Who?

Mother's old friend from years ago?

[Old Woman Hu] It's chaotic outside during wartimes.

If it weren't for your eldest son saving us,

I wouldn't be alive to see you again.

That day, I was surrounded by bandits.

That blade was heading towards me to pierce me.

Luckily, Commander Cheng led soldiers to rush over.

His spear directly blocked the bandit's blade.

It was really dangerous.

Commander Cheng's weapons weren't as sharp as those of the bandits.

His spear was cut in half.

Without a suitable weapon, Commander Cheng

grabbed the other guy's long blade despite his body full of injuries.

That's how he protected my entire family's lives.

A body full of injuries?

My son, where are you injured?

- Take off your clothes and let me see. - No, no.

Aunt Hu is still here.

It's all right. Aunt Hu has seen everything. Take off your clothes and let me–

My son...

My son.

I let you go to fight in the war so that you can establish merits and earn gold and silver.

But I didn't mean for you to sacrifice your life.

Without good swords and blades, I had to fight with my life.

I already told her.

I'm sure Mother will understand clearly and see what's right from wrong.

On the battlefield, swords and blades represent soldiers' lives.

There are actually some heartless scumbags

who use fake weapons that break apart upon touch

to replace the good weapons for sale.

I spit on them! They have no conscience!

Old Madam, Madam Dong seeks to visit you.

All right.

She has come at a good time.

Ask her to come in.

Yes.

Sister, go ahead to get some rest.

Thank you, Old Madam.

Aunt must be here about Uncle.

It's my fault for being incapable and holding a lowly position.

Even if I beg Ling Buyi, he probably still won't let Uncle go.

Why don't I just take on the blame?

Just say that Uncle Dong's theft was ordered by me.

My head will be lost in exchange for Uncle's life.

Our Cheng household will be confiscated to save the Dong family.

That's great!

What a great idea!

What a wonderful idea!

Nephew is a high official.

Even if he commits a crime,

His Majesty will be tolerant and merciful.

At most, it'll be a monetary penalty to close the matter.

Older Sister, why not just let Nephew

take on this crime?

You vicious woman!

How dare you want to harm my child!

Yesterday, the chimney in our house wouldn't produce smoke. I thought it was strange.

So I asked the Old Immortal. (T/N: a fortune teller)

I was told our Cheng family

would be implicated by relatives, causing turmoil in the household.

Old Immortal's words were indeed correct.

Our Cheng family will die in your hands.

Even Second Daughter-in-law's textile shop has been seized for investigation.

It's all because of you all.

In your family, no one is good.

Someone! Push this vicious woman out of here!

Whoever dares to let her inside,

I will break their legs!

Older Sister, he said so himself.

- Shut up! - He said so himself!

He said those words by himself.

This is the consequence of your hearing and believing others every day.

Mother, you've been instigated by Aunt and the others.

You thought they were good and close to you.

But our own family?

We've been lied to and cheated on.

Yuanyi and I have been fighting with our lives all these years to earn military merits.

That's why the Cheng family could live in peace and comfort.

Should all of this

be lost because of Uncle Dong's crime?

No... I don't want that.

I don't want that.

Old Madam sat in her room for the whole day and said she was not coming over to eat.

Mother has always been enthusiastic about eating.

Now that she won't eat,

she's probably thought it through.

She's finally realized it.

Thanks to Father for speaking into Grandmother's heart.

No matter how partial Grandmother is, she can't

exchange the entire Cheng family's future for Uncle's life.

No talking at meals, no chatting at night. (From the Analects of Confucius)

When the parents are discussing matters, you should not get involved.

We aren't eating yet.

Your grandmother not eating

is partly to your contributions.

All right, all right. Let's eat.

Father, I suddenly feel unwell.

It's probably because my stomach hasn't recovered yet.

Niao Niao takes after me. When being lectured during meals,

the stomach hurts.

Even the sage said, don't scold children when eating.

Which sage said that?

Niao Niao, eat more meat.

You were probably starved in the village during those past few days.

Thank you, Father.

Eat less meat when the stomach is unwell.

It recuperates better when it's empty.

Mother, are you hungry?

Here, have some desserts.

Here.

You haven't seen your son for over 10 years.

Take a look to see if my appearance has changed.

I know Mother is worried about me.

You are my...

first-born child.

How could I not worry about you?

For over 10 years, altogether...

you only sent back a few letters written on bamboo.

I thought you had imposing prestige having killed enemies and establishing meritorious deeds.

I had no idea you lived in such hardship.

I wanted to write to you, Mother.

But you can't read.

I wasn't happy that Madam Ge had to read my letters to you.

Even if Madam Ge isn't good, didn't you take her dowry

to help out the Xiao family?

I don't know where her dowry went.

But I, Cheng Shi, am an upstanding person.

No matter how poor I am,

I wouldn't take Sister-in-law's dowry to help my wife's family.

Xiao Yuanyi was married in the past.

The family is ruined and the people are lost. The assets are sold off.

You still cherish her so much?

I indeed cherish her. I didn't want to marry anyone else but her.

My son, my son.

I pamper you and Third Son the most.

But ever since you two got married,

you only stick to your brides

and only talk to them.

You don't care about your mother anymore.

Isn't it right for a man to get married and establish a household?

Even after a hundred years, Mother will be buried with Father,

we will be buried with our own wives, too. Right?

We can't all be buried together.

I get it now.

Mother must be envious of us couples.

I... would envy you?

Father passed away early on.

I understand that Mother must be lonely.

Do you have anyone that looks good to you?

- If there is someone, how about remarrying? - You–

We, the younger generation, won't put up any obstacles.

You... What nonsense are you saying?

When did I ever say that I want to remarry?

You're such a child.

Mother, don't be shy.

You've worked hard for the Cheng family. Your children have seen it all.

If Mother wants to remarry,

my younger brothers and I won't dissent at all.

If Mother gives birth to a new brother or sister,

I would definitely regard them as my own siblings.

I...

Fine. That's great.

If you die first, I will definitely

find a good family to marry off your wife.

Let her give birth to a new bunch of kids.

I'm not afraid. Yuanyi is not someone who wavers.

Scram, you!

Such an unfilial son!

I must beat you to death today!

Scram!

Mother, don't beat me.

Look at how Father has upset Grandmother.

After all, Mother is more skillful.

She lets her husband fight for her.

She herself doesn't need to be fierce in front of Grandmother.

You mean,

this is my plot?

As a woman, not only do you listen to gossip behind people's backs,

you actually speculate about the elders.

This is ridiculous.

Put your hands out.

Starting tomorrow,

you will stay in the room to study and copy the Book of Rites.

Don't leave the house if you don't finish copying.

But... Didn't Father say there are lively festivities during the Lantern Festival?

- I've never been there for over ten years. - The elders make decisions on everything.

You just stay home and study.

Mother carried a ruler with her to find faults in me. (The long ruler is used for spanking)

Young Lady, you are mistaken about Madam.

Madam brought her ruler not to beat you.

She cherishes you.

But she is upset right now.

I will coax her.

Young Miss, don't be sad.

What is there to be sad about?

I don't care how Mother sees me.

The storybook about a kind mother and filial children

has never belonged to me.

As I've never owned it,

I won't be sad

about losing it.

What's the matter with you?

Could it be that you got beaten by Mother?

Mother is envious of our love.

I kindheartedly told her to remarry.

She got angry with me.

What did you say? You tried to persuade her to remarry?

Is that wrong? I saw that she was full of flammable anger lately.

Her Yin and Yang are probably out of balance.

It's right that Mother beat you up.

I should hit you some more to match.

Before, I thought it was good for a son to become an official.

When the upbringing is bad, it's easy to ruin the family,

but it could even harm the entire clan.

No matter how willful a daughter is,

we can always shield her.

Swords and blades have no eyes on the battlefield.

We didn't want her to suffer by being next to us.

But I didn't expect Niao Niao's talent to make trouble

to be even better than a man's.

I really regret leaving the child to Madam Ge.

She only learned troublemaking from her.

Eavesdropping, making tricks, making fun of the elders.

Is that how girls are nurtured?

Wife, stay calm and don't be upset.

Since Madam Ge didn't teach her well, we'll slowly teach her.

Slowly? This can't wait.

If I don't teach her well, will we let her husband's family discipline her?

Take a look at this.

What is it?

Yesterday,

the chimney in our house wouldn't produce smoke.

I thought it was strange.

So I asked the Old Immortal.

Your Niao Niao...

secretly changed the chimney's pathway

and pretended to be a spirit to scare Mother.

She knew that Mother was superstitious

and deliberately tricked her.

I was wondering why the chimney suddenly broke.

Our Niao Niao is really smart. She can even understand these things.

You're still covering for her?

If she were a soldier under my command,

I would have dragged her out to get a beating.

I noticed that Niao Niao's several outfits don't fit her.

Bring the ruler from my room.

Let's make a few outfits that suit her better.

I know that you are trying to make up for lost time,

and want to quickly teach her well.

But it takes 1,000 days to train a soldier.

How many days have we been back?

I already made the wrong choice years ago.

That's why Niao Niao

turned out this way.

I can't make another mistake

by indulging her.

It will hurt her her whole life.

I have to discipline this child.
