[Gone with the Rain]

[Adapted from the novel "Gone with the Rain" by Ni Luo]

[Episode 7]

Moxi, it's not appropriate to behave like this in public.

I don't care.

Nobody knows me here anyway.

Besides, what are you afraid of

when a girl like me is not afraid?

Remember this.

I saved your life.

If you leave without saying goodbye again,

I'll go to the Longxiang Army and complain to your general.

Let me send you back.

No.

I want you to promise me.

Don't they always say you can't take back what you said?

I will only believe you if you say it yourself.

If there aren't any important military affairs,

I'll rest for a while to take care of some internal affairs.

During this time, I'll be in Jingzhou City.

I came here today to break off this betrothal.

Fengyao, I need to tell you something.

The person I've liked from the beginning is Moxi.

It's impossible for me to marry you.

I'm sorry.

Heavens...

Fengyao, why are you here?

I just went to find you.

But you ran out like a mad woman.

I didn't even know what happened.

I was in a bad mood.

So I went out to clear my mind.

Did you come to find me about the betrothal from the Wan family?

The Wan family came to break it off.

Isn't that what you wanted?

I thought you didn't like the family.

Nonsense.

The Wan family's son is talented both in civil and martial affairs.

He's also the hero who recaptured Jingzhou City.

Why are you siding with him?

You're completely different from yesterday.

Don't tell me you've met him.

The Wan family I mentioned to you earlier.

- He told me... - I don't want to hear it.

Moxi.

Moxi!

Moxi...

Moxi.

Moxi.

Are you all right?

This is the women's area.

You are...

I'm Wan Jiagui.

I entered here by mistake.

Please forgive me.

It was just a brief encounter.

Could it be that Wan Jiagui encountered Fengyao before me?

Fengyao,

have you developed feelings for him?

That's impossible.

We only met once.

But you were praising his talents earlier

and said he achieved great deeds.

There are plenty of men who possess these qualities

in the world.

Would I fall for each and every one of them?

Enough about this.

In any case, this betrothal has been canceled now.

There's no point in discussing these matters.

That was close.

Thank heavens she doesn't have feelings for him.

My dear, Fengyao.

There's nothing I wouldn't give up for you in this world

except for Wan Jiagui.

I can't give up on him.

What a pity

not to have fate with such an outstanding man.

Mother, look.

Father.

Wan Jiagui is truly generous and knows his manners.

Mother,

we received such a generous gift.

It seems inappropriate.

What's inappropriate about it?

It's the Wan family who breaks off the betrothal.

He owes us, right?

Fengyao, listen.

You must not let your judgment cloud your mind at this time.

The Wan family is truly wealthy.

If you truly marry into their family,

the Bai family will enjoy even more privileges and benefits.

Isn't that right?

Mother, am I right?

Kun has a point.

The Wan family is indeed an excellent match.

It's such a pity.

Kun,

pick a bigger one and help your mother wear it.

One is not enough.

Add one more.

All right.

They're throwing money around so recklessly.

Are they wasting because they have too much?

You're here.

I should've come and fetched you during the day.

It's improper for a man and woman to meet at night like this.

You have official duties during the day.

I definitely won't get in your way.

Let's go.

Come and take a look.

Hello, there.

Mister, how much is this lantern?

Miss, this lantern is not for sale.

This treasure is the pride of our street.

Is there a story behind it?

The craftsman who created this lantern was originally not a lantern maker.

He was a descendant of a master

who crafted a jade crown for Princess Lanrui of the previous dynasty.

After the palace turmoil, he lived among the common people.

With his savings of gold, silver, and precious stones,

he created this lantern.

It has been hanging here for over ten years.

If you truly want it...

Well, do you see this copper bell that symbolizes blessings?

If you can hang it on the eaves of Wanbaode,

[Wanbaode] you can have this lantern.

You... One more thing, Wanbaode is a sacred place

where a master chanted scriptures and performed rituals.

You should avoid touching it

with your hands or any impure objects.

I can't touch it?

Yes.

How am I supposed to hang it then?

People can't fly.

Well, it depends on your skills.

Let me give it a try.

May I borrow your pen?

Of course.

Come and take a look!

Palace lanterns! Decorative Lanterns! Carousel Lanterns for sale!

Mister,

please send it to this address.

They'll give you something after reading this letter.

This is your errand fees.

All right. Please wait for a while.

What are you up to?

You'll know in a while.

Fengyao,

I couldn't say much

when your father was around during the day.

Now, there are only two of us here.

We can have a heart-to-heart conversation.

Mother,

I'm not in a hurry to get married.

You don't have to rush to find a match for me.

The betrothal with the Wan family

was just a casual remark back then.

Now that it's been called off,

this matter hasn't spread at all.

We should take advantage of the current situation.

When no one knows that you've been rejected,

I should quickly inquire with some matchmakers.

It's not peaceful now.

I don't think anyone would have such intentions.

The court has just regained control of Jingzhou City.

Yes, many people have lost their power.

But there are also new rising talents.

I actually think it's a good time to find a match.

Mother.

I...

He is drunk again.

Dongxia!

Where are you, Dongxia?

Where on earth is she?

I told them to rest.

Be careful.

I told them to go back and rest.

You're drunk.

Come.

- Sit down. - Am I home?

Yes, you are.

There you go.

Look at yourself.

Fengyao.

Fengyao,

I found another good one.

Father.

I found another good match for you.

What match?

Which family is he from?

How's his family background?

My... My Lord.

Don't fall asleep just yet.

Heavens.

You're too heavy.

No! Don't throw up.

It's always like this.

Make way!

Those from your residence told me to deliver this to you.

Then, they gave me half a string of cash coins.

Since they give it to you, you can keep them.

- That's all. - Thank you very much.

Come, walk on.

Mister,

are you planning to use this iron bow

to shoot the bronze bell up onto the eaves of Wanbaode?

Everyone, come and see!

This gentleman says he wants to shoot the bronze bell

onto the eaves of Wanbaode with this iron bow.

How is that possible?

This iron bow itself requires great strength to pull.

And now there's a rope attached to it.

Will it work?

No one has been able to succeed for many years.

Can you shoot it accurately from such a distance?

He's pulling it! He can pull it!

[Wanbaode]

Look! Look!

The arrow went through!

- Wow! - That's amazing!

Impressive!

- Such a great skill! - Marvelous!

I didn't expect to see that.

How clever.

- Awesome! - Good job.

Please hold on to this.

Later, send someone to tie it under Wanbaode.

All right.

Everyone!

For the bronze bell returning to Wanbaode is a good omen.

I hope our Jingzhou City will thrive this year

and everyone's business to flourish!

- Well said! - Hopefully!

Kid!

Come here.

Hang it.

All right!

Then, this lantern shall be your reward.

Please come with me.

Keep it.

Thank you.

I thought you had something to say.

I'm waiting.

I have to go to Yizhou, Mobei, to fulfill military duties.

Yizhou, Mobei?

Where is that?

Yizhou in Mobei is somewhere far away in Dunxi,

governing the four northwestern provinces.

That's very far.

How long will you be there?

Judging from the general's intention,

I won't be able to return for at least two years.

You're leaving again shortly after returning to Jingzhou City

and going so far away.

Then, I'll go with you.

Yizhou is a strategically important military area.

Bringing a woman along would violate military law,

punishable by execution.

I've told you from the beginning

that I'm part of the Longxiang Army

and have no right to talk about marriage.

Do you think I can't wait for you?

You think too lightly of me!

Excuse me,

aren't you uncomfortable lying like that?

Once I leave,

I don't know when I can return.

Don't be stubborn, and just forget about me.

I'm stubborn, so what?

You have always been under someone else's care.

You should find a match to marry.

Since you're leaving,

you don't need to be concerned about my matters.

I'm used to being alone.

I don't need a husband.

When are you leaving?

Tomorrow at noon.

Leave if you want.

Do you think I'll ask you to stay?

Looks good.

What's going on?

There he is.

Juan, I'm here.

Obey your mother.

Don't wander around.

It's cold and harsh there.

You must take good care of yourself.

Don't worry, Brother.

Don't worry.

I'll take care of the family.

Moxi!

Moxi!

What's wrong?

What happened?

I...

Sit down and tell me about it.

Father arranged a marriage for me.

That's so sudden.

Which family?

Have you met him?

He said there was no need to meet.

Everyone knows each other well.

Who's that?

It's Prime Minister Wu's son.

Isn't this person a highly desirable match?

With his social status,

there are thousands of women in this Jingzhou city

who want to marry him.

Why did he suddenly want to marry you?

Also, I heard Prime Minister Wu may have a bad reputation.

But his son has excellent knowledge.

If you really marry him, it won't be a loss.

If he's that fine,

I'm afraid it won't be my turn to marry him.

What do you mean?

Did something happen to him?

When the Emperor and the officials were fleeing from Chibei,

his carriage met with an accident.

He fell into the ditch and damaged his head.

Now, he's a fool.

Is your father out of his mind to marry you off to a fool?

Father didn't want to.

But Prime Minister Wu said

the court is wiping out those who supported the rebels.

Didn't Father try to marry you off to Chen Wende before?

You can say it's irrefutable evidence.

If we were to be charged with a crime,

none of us in the family could escape.

He's basically bringing trouble upon himself.

Seeking advantages and attaching oneself to power

will lead to his downfall sooner or later.

Moxi,

my parents have wronged you in the past.

But Prime Minister Wu is taking advantage to blackmail us.

I have no choice but to marry him now.

Are you mad?

If you marry him,

you'll have to take care of a fool for the rest of your life.

My mother doesn't want that either.

But Prime Minister Wu oversees the Court of Judicial Review now.

It's easy for him to convict Father.

If Father is truly found guilty, dozens from the Bai family

won't be able to escape.

At the very least, we'll be exiled.

Moreover, Prime Minister Wu even said

that even if I were to suffer from an incurable disease,

I would be buried together with his son

so that he wouldn't be lonely after he died.

Feigning illness no longer works.

He's so inhumane!

I'm counting on you.

[To Wan Jiagui, Left General of Longxiang Army]

You want to send this to the Longxiang Army?

Yes.

This is to be delivered

specifically to Wan Jiagui, the Left General of the Longxiang Army,

who recently went to Yizhou, Mobei.

The troops shouldn't have gone far yet.

Can you catch up to them and deliver this message?

If you need me to prioritize and deliver this quickly,

I should be able to catch up to them in the Guanzhong region.

But it will require an additional string of cash coins.

What? One string of cash coins?

I only have this little money left.

This is not good.

I have to give more than half of it.

Here you go.

Thank you.

Wan Jiagui has some connections within the Longxiang Army.

He's also a hero for reclaiming the city.

I hope he can help the Bai family solve this matter.

Mo... Moxi, are you eagerly waiting

for the man in your room?

Pengkun,

do you want some beating again?

Why don't you go and check my room again?

No, I'm not going.

If I go to your room and run into that man again,

I'll be unlucky for the rest of my life.

Mother!

Mother, watch your steps.

Be careful.

You reek of alcohol.

Why don't you go back to your room and study?

Haven't you had enough of that deceptive charm?

Be careful and watch your steps.

Why did you have to drink so much?

Second Aunt looks gloomy.

It looks like things didn't go smoothly.

Did you follow your mother

to seek help from influential and noble families?

Some of them are willing to intercede.

But Prime Minister Wu is too influential.

He insists on making me marry against my will.

Let's delay a bit more.

Perhaps there will be a turnaround.

Turnaround?

I hope so too.

Young Lady, something bad had happened.

Master has been arrested by people from the Court of Judicial Review.

Court of Judicial Review?

[Godlike Sincerity]

Your father has always lived a privileged life.

Now he's in the dungeon of the Court of Judicial Review.

How is he going to endure it?

Mother, calm down.

The Court of Judicial Review and the Ministry of Justice are different.

It won't be easy to visit prisoners there.

Moreover, Prime Minister is just trying to force us to submit.

He won't really subject Father to severe torture.

Really?

Fengyao, listen to me.

You're the cause of this matter.

Had you not refused to marry Prime Minister Wu's son,

would Father suffer like this?

What are you saying?

All of this happened because Father tried to get you into the Directorate of Education.

Me?

So Father and Mother befriended Prime Minister Wu.

That's how Prime Minister Wu knew about me.

If we were to trace it back to the original cause,

our family wouldn't have gotten into this trouble

if you had been a bit more diligent in your studies.

Say that again.

Say it.

I'm going to rip that mouth of yours!

How dare you say I didn't study hard!

Get out of the way!

Mother!

You accidentally hit me!

Go away!

Mother.

I'll rip your mouth.

Stop making a racket.

Fengyao, you're the most sensible and obedient child.

I know it's not fair

to ask you to marry Prime Minister Wu's son.

But for your father and the many lives of the Bai family,

can you...

Mother...

Don't say anything.

Did you just glare at me?

She glared at me.

Did you see that?

She glared at me!

It's over now.

- It's over now. - Don't you feel sorry for me?

Mother, don't be sad.

You still have me.

What's the point of having you?

You can't even save your father

or marry the Prime Minister's son.

I...

Mother.

Kun...

Why do I have to suffer this much?

[Bai's Mansion]

Life is truly unpredictable.

Even an idle official like Master can be put in prison.

I heard

it's because Master and Madam refused to let Miss Fengyao

marry the Prime Minister's foolish son.

That's why they're taking revenge.

If the Bai family continues to resist, I'm afraid both of us

will suffer as well.

Who can say otherwise?

Excuse me.

May I ask if Miss Moxi is at home?

Mister, did you receive a reply?

Miss Moxi, let's speak in private.

He replied so quickly.

Miss Moxi,

[To Wan Jiagui, Left General of Longxiang Army] your letter was returned

before it reached Guanzhong.

Returned?

Why?

There's news from Guanzhong saying that the Longxiang Army

was ambushed by bandits

when they were about to reach Guanzhong.

The whole troop

perished.

What did you say?

Miss Moxi,

please accept my condolences.

You're talking nonsense.

How is that possible?

If you don't believe me,

you can read the official report from the court.

It's said that even the Emperor is furious.

The military officials are petitioning to go

[Guanzhong Governor's Report] and suppress the bandits in Guanzhong.

Miss, my condolences.

How long has Moxi locked herself up like this

without eating and drinking?

I asked the servant who delivered the food.

She said it had been two days and two nights.

She also refused to accept any meals.

Two days and two nights?

Moxi, what happened to you?

I almost forgot.

I'm going to visit my father with my mother.

You stay here and wait.

If she doesn't open the doors soon, just break them down.

Understand?

All right.

Miss Chunxue, I've unlocked the door.

Young Lady, you should stop for now.

Everyone at home is panicking.

Miss Fengyao is running around because of Master.

If anything bad happens to you,

how is Young Lady going to live with it?

Wan Jiagui.

Why are you here?

Where is this place?

An inn.

You passed out in the street.

I thought you fled.

Do you think I left Jingzhou City

because I feared the Longxiang Army?

Wasn't that the reason?

Even if I fled,

can't I return?

Your matters are none of my business.

It's only been a month since we last met.

Why are you acting distant from me?

We were never close to begin with.

Look at you, so nervous and scared.

What happened?

It has nothing to do with you.

How dare you give me that look?

You used to be fierce and cunning.

Where did that go?

Tell me!

Who bullied you?

No one bullied me.

I heard your uncle was taken away

by the Court of Judicial Review.

Don't tell me you're upset because of that.

I don't remember you having much affection for him.

Wu Lang imprisoned him

to force Fengyao to marry his foolish son.

Do you have any way to help Fengyao?

Wu Lang

is deceptive and treacherous.

He even fooled the Emperor.

Why should I help you?

By the way,

there's a newly promoted general in the Longxiang Army named Wan Jiagui.

Do you know him?

Wu,

did you send someone to follow me?

Don't be presumptuous.

I don't have that kind of free time.

Then, where did this painting come from?

Even if my men have all withdrawn from Jingzhou City,

I still have a clear understanding

of everything happening here.

Wu.

You followed this person, so you tell us about it.

Wan Jiagui achieved great merit during the siege

by discovering the long-lost design

of the Divine Crow Fire Arrow for the Longxiang Army.

It is said that this invention was designed by an expert

and later made its way to the archives

of the Tianlu Academy.

It's unclear where the news came from,

but Wan Jiagui secretly infiltrated Jingzhou City

and actually obtained the design.

After his promotion to the position of Left General in the Longxiang Army,

his parents sought a marriage proposal with Miss Fengyao of the Bai family.

However, he personally called off the betrothal.

The confusion of seeking

and calling off the betrothal.
