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

[Episode 19]

Sir.

How is it?

What's new with Miss Moxi?

She still hangs out with General Wan all day.

Continue keeping an eye on them.

Sir.

What does this have to do with our plan?

The prime minister is still waiting for you to go back.

Just do whatever I tell you to do.

Since when do you have the right to comment about what I do?

I dare not.

This won't do.

I must report to the prime minister about this.

This is outrageous.

What is it again?

Wu Yin

is staying in Qingzhou

for Wan Jiagui's woman.

I raised him for nothing.

Calm down.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing.

What good ideas do you have, My Lord?

We don't know where the iron ore mine map is.

We've transferred Longxiang Army to Qingzhou

and kept the others at bay for now.

But Longxiang Army isn't ours.

So we still need someone

running the show in there.

Do you mean

we're letting Wu Yin...

My Lord.

The boy is now troubled by love.

He can't handle important tasks.

Young people are full of vigor.

They're the ones most likely to risk everything for love.

If you want him to work diligently for you,

give him what he wants when needed.

I think Wu Yin can be very useful.

But we can't go against Longxiang Army

for him.

Do we need to help others

by providing help ourselves?

Have some tea.

Thank you, My Lord.

Moxi.

What are you doing here?

I've waited here for you.

Why were you waiting for me?

Let's eat out.

It's my treat.

Sure, let me get changed.

No need. Let's go.

What's the hurry?

Please have some tea.

What do you want to eat?

Give me your best dishes.

Sure.

I've heard of this Fengyasong Restaurant.

It's the best restaurant in Qingzhou.

We can't afford this.

I did a small favor for a friend.

It's his treat.

Since I can't convert it to money,

let's eat more.

So it's someone else's treat.

Tell me the truth.

Is your friend a talented and handsome man?

Well, well.

You confessed without being pressed.

Tell me who it is.

I've always wanted to visit Ms. Bai

but couldn't find the time.

Sorry for that.

Please forgive me.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to see Ms. Bai, of course.

What are you talking about?

Let me have a word with you.

Control yourself.

No one treats their savior

with that attitude.

What are you talking about?

Have you lost your mind?

Besides,

haven't you gone back to Jingzhou City?

I was going back to Jingzhou City.

But your lover

wanted to come back to Qingzhou to make up for his wrongdoings.

So I came back too.

Lover?

What are you talking about?

Stop pretending.

I know exactly

where your crystal lamp came from.

Did you come back for Wan Jiagui?

Yes.

But I also came to visit Miss Bai Fengyao

on Prime Minister Wu's orders.

What a surprise.

What are you up to?

The prime minister told me

to come

and see when the Bai family and the Wan family's star-crossed lovers

are going to marry.

If the Wan boy goes back on his word,

the Wu family is willing to put the past behind us

and marry Miss Bai Fengyao.

Are the Wu family still after Fengyao?

That depends on whether or not General Wan is marrying her.

You jerks.

You flatter me.

Prime Minister Wu has always seized every chance he gets

and will not stop until he reaches his goal.

We all know

from whom Bai Fengyao received her appointment.

There was no evidence.

But who knew

that Wan boy came back alive.

If he goes back on his word,

Bai Fengyao can only

marry into the Wu family.

You...

I'm unwilling to do such a despicable thing either.

But I've always been in charge of

the Wu family's despicable tasks.

I can't say no.

Moxi.

What's wrong?

Greetings, Ms. Bai.

You're...

I'm ranked seventh in the Wu family of Jingzhou.

You may call me Wu Qilang.

The Wu family of Jingzhou City?

Prime Minister Wu's...

He's my uncle.

Since you're from the Wu family,

please leave.

Ms. Bai.

Moxi, see him to the door.

It seems Ms. Bai has misunderstood me.

I should leave first today.

Moxi.

Is the boy from the Wu family

the friend you were telling me about?

No, Fengyao.

Hear me out.

I'm happy to see you

fall for someone.

But anyone except the Wu family.

They're all despicable!

How could you...

I...

Here. Have some meat.

What happened to you?

What's wrong?

Did you have an argument with Fengyao?

It's worse than that.

She just straight up ignored me.

Did you come clean to her?

You lied

to save her life.

How could she blame you?

You've misunderstood.

It's because she thought

I'm in touch with the man from the Wu family.

That's why she's giving me the silent treatment.

Unbelievable.

They don't take the law seriously.

Wu Yin

is only the son of a concubine in the Wu family.

How dare he threaten to marry her?

But he's right.

I asked someone about it.

According to the Jing State's law,

the Wu family did send betrothal gifts and money to the Bai family,

so the marriage is valid.

It's just that the letter you left before your death

acknowledged Fengyao as your widow,

so it was called off.

If you want to call off the marriage now,

according to the law,

the Wu family can make her marry

on the merits of the betrothal gifts and money.

Wu Lang isn't the ruler.

Let me write a letter to inform General Chu about this.

General.

Your parents are here.

Darling, watch your steps.

We're here.

This way, please.

Jiagui.

Jiagui.

Jiagui.

There he is.

Jiagui.

Father.

Mother.

I'm stationed here

because of military duties.

Why did you come to see me?

And you brought so many things.

We

Heard you're stationed in Qingzhou,

so we...

We came to see you

because reunion is difficult.

Besides, our daughter-in-law happens to be teaching here.

It's fated

for us to reunite here.

Yes.

We're worried about

a frail woman like Fengyao being alone outside.

You happened to be stationed here.

Isn't this fate?

We haven't had a wedding.

And you already call her your daughter-in-law.

Isn't that inappropriate?

What are you saying?

Who left a note saying

"I'll only love Fengyao in this life"?

And just don't want to trouble her?

You also mentioned some posthumous pension

for your widow.

You're alive and well now.

Yet you're giving her ill treatment.

Are... aren't you going back on your word?

Yes.

Our relatives were making a scene

for fear of attracting her creditors to us.

So they didn't allow us to marry her into the family

and delayed the occassion.

When we went looking for her,

she had already sold her mansion

and come to Qingzhou.

We wronged her first.

Yes.

We're the one who wronged her.

We wronged her.

So

Get her to come back

when she cools down.

Then we can be reunited.

This...

Mother, you...

Isn't this too hurried?

I'm tired of telling you what to do.

So I've decided to make you

consummate your marriage

while you and Fengyao are here

so that I can get grandchildren as soon as possible.

Forget it.

I'll discuss with Miss Fengyao first.

Wan Jiagui.

I'm the one you like.

Why won't you make it clear to your mother?

I...

Jiagui.

What's going on?

Who...

Don't you know?

I'm the one your son likes.

Not Fengyao.

Stop mismatching couples.

You'll ruin his life.

- Darling. - Mother.

Darling.

Am I wrong to tell the truth?

Alright.

Moxi.

Mother.

You're wrong.

Firstly,

you'll scare the elderlies by doing that.

Secondly,

you'll make them think you're uneducated

and thus dislike you.

Thirdly,

give Wan Jiagui some time

to solve this

instead of pressuring him.

Got it?

Alright.

Hurry and put the stuff inside.

Hurry.

Master and Madam.

This way, please.

Let's go, Darling.

Goodbye, Ms. Bai.

Let's go together next time.

Sure.

When do you have time?

Let's go out together, shall we?

Let's find a nice day then.

Goodbye, Ms. Bai.

Ms. Bai.

There's someone at the door for you.

For me?

I have no family in Qingzhou.

Why is there someone asking for me?

I have no idea.

But the carriage looks like it belongs to someone important.

Thank you, Ms. Lu.

Who is he?

I don't know. Who did he come to see?

How handsome.

You...

You came.

Miss Fengyao.

Long time no see.

It's me.

I'm still alive.

Heaven has mercy on our ministers and generals.

The Jing State is lucky.

Miss Fengyao, you're too kind.

If you're free later this afternoon,

can you come to my humble home to have a chat?

Sure.

How about a quarter past the hour of the goat?

I'll have my servant pick you up.

Moxi.

Come and take a look.

Shall I wear this later?

Why don't you go to the clothing store across the street

and buy one?

The material there is good.

And their styles are also in fashion.

Never mind.

Since my family has fallen,

I don't need these to keep up appearances.

Besides, we don't have much savings left.

Let's not waste money.

This outfit is nice.

It makes you look neat

like a teacher.

Are you meeting someone later?

Yes.

Fengyao.

You're so nice.

Any man who marries you

must have saved done a lot of charity in their past life.

You don't have to speak so dramatically.

To outsiders,

I'm only someone whose family has fallen

and has no money.

I'm even inflexible and boring.

I'm useless.

Don't say that about yourself.

If I were a man,

I'd be the first to marry you.

Although I'm lazy and greedy for food,

I'm stuck to you forever.

I don't want

a lazy and greedy man like you.

You'll

always be my sister that matters the most to me.

What is it?

I have a feeling

that the meeting later isn't necessarily a good thing.

Moxi.

I won't keep secrets from you.

Wan Jiagui isn't dead.

I'm meeting him later.

My husband by name.

It's a good thing that he came back from the dead.

Yes.

But I was too excited

when I met him earlier.

Come to think of it.

He seemed more polite than intimate

to me.

So I'm a little uneasy.

I wonder what will Wan Jiagui tell her.

Stop overthinking.

- Who is it? - Who is it?

It's me.

I'm Xiao Jiang, General Wan's servant.

Oh no.

I haven't changed yet.

How did you get into School for Women?

The guards let me in when I told them I'm from Longxiang Army.

The general asked me to come in advance

and inform you two

that Master and Madam heard Miss Moxi is also here

and wanted you to come along.

Hurry and get ready.

What do you think of my drawing?

Not bad.

This brush stroke is amazing.

Ms. Bai and her sister

are like twin lotus flowers.

I wish I could draw this scene.

Yes. It's too beautiful.

Mo.

Mo.

You two are uniquely beautiful

in your own way.

Are you going out to meet someone?

We have an old friend from the capital.

You should dress up like this more often.

You two don't like to dress up.

After putting on some makeup,

you become the most beautiful scenery in Qingzhou School for Women.

Mo, you're too kind.

My sister and I are... What's that phrase again?

Born beauties.

But it's boring to see beauties everyday.

It's only refreshing when you

see us like this once in a while, right?

Stop talking nonsense.

Mo is a beauty too.

Would she want to see you?

Mo.

It's getting late.

We'll have to go first.

Hurry on.

Goodbye.

I hope these two sisters

can always be this close.

[Wan's Mansion]

My parents were excited to hear

that you're coming.

They packed up a bunch of local products

and insisted on letting you take them home.

That's how they are.

Please excuse their rudeness.

No way.

Father and Mother...

Your parents are straightforward by nature

and don't care about formalities.

It's easy to get along with them.

That's good.

My mother likes Miss Moxi too.

She said she has a strong sense of justice.

When the Bai family was in trouble,

she spared no effort in approaching my family

and got in contact with Longxiang Army

through my parents.

So you were the one contacting them.

I wondered how come the court

knew about me so quickly

and how come General Chu came in time.

Moxi.

You're the closest and best sister I have

in the world.

Dear.

Isn't it delicious?

Qingzhou's grapes are really good.

Try one.

It's sweet.

Alright.

Come.

Fengyao, hurry over.

Come and sit here.

Come. Hurry.

The Bai family raised their daughter well.

They're all so beautiful.

Moxi.

I...

I didn't bring a lot of gifts this time.

I prepared some clothes and accessories

for you.

Have your pick.

Thank you, Mrs. Wan.

Miss Moxi, please follow me.

This one is hollow.

The gold looks big

but is actually less than two taels.

Is your family that stingy?

You even give away hollow hairpins.

You can put powder in here

so that your hair won't smell of grease.

If you have any secret letter,

you can put also keep it in here.

I've always been a bumpkin.

I don't know anything.

I know nothing about hairpins either.

I'm no match for Fengyao, who comes from a noble family.

Is that jealousy?

Why are you jealous all of a sudden?

Jealous?

Since your mother wants to chat with Fengyao,

why bother asking me here to get in the way?

My mother praised you

for doing so much for your sister.

You're very kind.

She has a good impression of you.

But I'm the one

who asked you here.

I don't want to keep it a secret anymore.

Since everyone's here,

I'm going to come clean.

Have you lost your mind?

Fengyao can't take it

if she finds out the truth.

Besides,

she fell for you at first sight

and stayed single for you for so long.

Continue to lie to her

is what will hurt her the most.

What about Wu Lang?

If you break off the marriage,

the Wu family will force her to marry them.

Their family has sent betrothal gifts and money.

Do you really want Fengyao to marry that mentally challenged boy?

I have another idea.

What idea?

Having Fengyao temporarily join Taoism and become a priestess.

What?

You want Fengyao to become a Taoism priestess?

This is ridiculous.

It's not ridiculous at all.

The Jing State's noble ladies

will become priestesses for a few years

before returning to the secular world

if their marriages are unhappy

or they have gotten into trouble.

Priestesses are honorable.

They get to read a lot of books

and don't have to shave their heads or become a vegetarian.

It suits Fengyao's gentle nature.

Sir.

Miss Moxi.

It's time for dinner.

Madam asked you to join them.

This is fresh off the hill.

It's very delicious.

Here.

Try it.

This is tasty.

Eat more.

Eat more.

Sure.

Moxi.

Our son has grown up

and knows how to take care of his wife.

I'm old.

My digestion is a little poor.

Don't give me the meat.

Give it to them.

You want to take care of a girl,

but you don't even know what she likes.

You

need more practice.

Practice more.

Practice more.

Father.

Mother.

Miss Fengyao.

I have an announcement to make.

Moxi is the one I want to marry.

Yes.

Father.

Mother.

You've gotten it wrong.

I'm your daughter-in-law.

- This is also a good choice. - Good.

- Amazing. - Good.

Sure.

This is also a good choice.

Good.

Fengyao...

Moxi.

It's been a beautiful misunderstanding.

But don't worry.

Wan Jiagui and I will take care of you.

There are many fine men in his camp.

You can take your pick.

Really?

Yes.

We have a deal then.

It's a deal.

It's a deal.

Awesome.

How amazing.

Good.

Sure.

That's good.

- Good. - Amazing.

Master and Madam.

Sir.

There's a messenger outside.

He said we've gotten an imperial order.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

General Wan.

Please accept the imperial order.

Get up.

Congratulations, General Wan.

You gained His Majesty's favor at such a young age.

Miss Bai received an appointment first.

And now His Majesty orders you to get married

and make up for the wedding rituals.

His Majesty also announced it to the public.

It's an incredible honor.

Thank you, sir.

But

I wonder why the marriage is so sudden.

I've never heard of it earlier.

General Wan, don't overthink it.

Prime Minister Wu suggested it himself.

He said you performed meritorious service in reclaiming Jingzhou City.

Then you fought to death.

Though you didn't win,

your courage is commendable.

So he suggested to His Majesty

to reward you greatly.

His Majesty thought

Prime Minister Wu has a problem with Longxiang Army.

But seeing Prime Minister Wu offer to let you get married

and never mention

to have Miss Bai Fengyao married his mentally challenged son,

His Majesty thought Prime Minister Wu has grown

and knows how to look at the bigger picture.

Well done with pretending to be on good terms with each other.

His Majesty is very pleased.

Thank Prime Minister Wu for putting in a good word for me.

Congratulations, General Wan.

You were assigned to be Qingzhou's garrison major.

And I haven't had a chance to meet you yet.

Now that His Majesty arranged for you to get married,

it's a double blessing.

I wonder if you've picked an auspicious date.

Imperial Divination Office's picking the date now.

There are three auspicious dates in these two months.

Three auspicious dates, right?

Yes, you're right.

That's great.

Congratulations.

- Thank you. - Thank you, sir.

[Wan's Mansion]

General Wan.

Goodbye.

Take care, sir.

Alright.

General.

How is Moxi?

Miss Moxi...

She threw away everything you sent her.

You did this.

General Wan and your sister had an engagement.

His Majesty has made an imperial order.

Now that he's safe and sound,

he should go ahead with the marriage.

It was just a misunderstanding.

He'd sort it out after getting back safe.

Who's causing trouble in court

by asking His Majesty to grant the marriage so soon?

No one besides the Wu family

could do that.

I didn't expect

the fearless Miss Moxi

to be so exasperated.

It seems

that Wan guy is your weakness.

What is the Wu family up to?

No one has ever

been able to fool Prime Minister Wu.

And no one has offended the Wu family

and got away intact.

Is this Wu Lang's revenge

or your idea?

What do you think?

His Majesty

is compassionate to his soldiers.

He made the imperial order for him to marry so soon.

He even gave the dowry.

You can tell

that Jiagui has brought glory to the Wan family.

You can tell

that Fengyao is like a lucky charm.

Lucky?

Yes.

As soon as she got engaged to Jiagui,

Jiagui came back safe and sound.

And now he also got a promotion.

You can tell this daughter-in-law brings luck to our family.

Indeed.

She brings us luck.

Why are you repeating everything I say like a cockatoo?

Moxi, what's wrong?

Does your throat hurt again?

I heard

someone choked on their food before.

You must be careful.

Take a sip of water.

I'm fine.

It's not easy for you two sisters.

You traveled all the way to Qingzhou School for Women

to work as a teacher.

And you have no family.

I heard School for Women

had been attacked by assassins and had a fire before.

It's been chaotic lately.

Why don't you girls move in?

We can take care of you.

That's inappropriate.

How is it inappropriate?

Although it's inappropriate for a lady

to live in her future husband's house,

we're only guests in Qingzhou.

This isn't exactly the Wan family's residence.

Am I right, My Lord?

Yes.

Right.

So

I think you should move in first.

When it's the wedding day,

you'll move back to School for Women.

We'll have the wedding escorts make a huge round outside.

We had precedents.

Am I right, My Lord?

Yes.

Yes.

Fengyao.

You're new to the mansion

and haven't looked around yet.

Jiagui.

Take Fengyao to the garden and show her around.

Go on. Hurry.

Go on.

Moxi.

Stay here.

I have an old lady who knows a bit about medicine.

I'll have her take a look at your throat.

Let's make sure you are not sick or whatnot.

No thanks.

Thank you, Mrs. Wan.

It's great that you're alright.

Talk some sense into your sister.

She's stubborn.

Ask her to move in sooner.

That way,

you can move in earlier too.

The Wan family hasn't been this lively in a long time.

Am I right, My Lord?

It hasn't been this lively in a long time.

Yes.

Isn't this the handpicked groom?

Are you here to see your wife?

Moxi.

Fengyao's reading.

I'll get her to come downstairs for you.

You're the one I want to see.

Soon,

I'll have to call you my brother-in-law.

We'd better avoid others from misunderstanding us.

I know you're not entirely to blame for the marriage.

Never mind.

Why do you want to see me?

I want you two

to move in my mansion.

You came to persuade us after your mother persuaded us.

Are you eager

to be with Fengyao every day?

You know who's the one I want.

Miss Fengyao is beautiful and smart.

She will be a good wife and mother.

But love and hate make no sense.

I only remember

the little mean girl and little liar

I saw when I woke up

from my coma.

I asked you two to move out because

firstly, I'm scared of accidents in School for Women again.

Secondly, I can take care of you two.

I'll have someone send Fengyao to School for Women every day.

You stay at home

so there's no accidents.

Home?

Is it your home

or your home with Fengyao?

Our home.

Ours.

This marriage is granted by the Emperor,

so it's hard to put off for a while.

But I'm busy with the army

and can't get married right away.

There is always a way out.

We'll think of something.

Trust me one more time,

alright?

Fine.

Aren't you afraid of going against the Emperor?

Going against the Emperor for you is nothing.

Let's go.

Come with me.

"Longxiang Army's Left General, Wan Jiagui, disobeyed His Majesty

and rejected the marriage he was granted."

"He resisted orders,

went absent without leave,

and fled to escape punishment."

"He committed a monstrous crime,

so his entire family is sentence to death."

"This is also a warning to others."

He rejected the marriage he was granted

and caused his family to be sentenced to death.

Do you think it's worth it?

It's not worth it.

[Qingzhou City] He ruined his bright future.

Are you alright?

Leave me alone.

Are you mad at me?

No.

You are.

It was your decision,

but I'm the one who started it.

Nuts on sale.

Tasty nuts.

I'll have some.

Check out our nuts.

Thank you, sir.

Have you seen this man?

No.

No.

Have you seen this man?

No.

Have you seen this man?

No.

Come here.

Have you seen this man?

No.

[Wanted]

Have you seen this man?

No.

Hurry.

Have you seen this man?

Have you seen him?

No.

Stop.

Have you seen this man?

No.

Have you seen this man?

No.

Come here.

Wan Jiagui.

Get up and work.

I'll work after finishing this.

Come here.

The soldiers are here.

We need to leave.

I'm not leaving.

And you. Have you seen him?

I'm not leaving.

No.

I can't walk any further.

No.

Moxi.

If we hadn't thrown everything away for love,

we wouldn't have ended up this way.

If I got to do it all over again,

I wouldn't leave with you.

I would live a good life

and enjoy life

with my parents and Fengyao.

I've always trusted you.

But what I don't trust is my own life.

I'm bad luck.

I don't deserve anything good.

Everything goes wrong.

Don't worry.

I'll persuade Fengyao to move.

I won't ruin your plan.

And don't follow me.
