The Story of Ming Lan

3

Episode 62

4

- How is she?

- Sister-in-law.

5

Father and I agreed that I would accompany Grandmother at night.

6

You have two kids, so you should go and rest.

7

Father-in-law isn't coming?

8

Mother isn't coming either.

9

You're with child, so you can't get too tired.

10

It's true.

11

Big Madam, be assured.

12

Shuoan Hall has many hands.

13

We can't really have Miss watch all night.

14

We won't wear her out. It's just to put Old Madam to ease.

15

Yes.

16

Since that's the case, I won't be too cordial.

17

If something happens, no matter how late, come get me.

18

I thank you deeply, Sister-in-law.

19

We'll trouble you.

20

Mother Fang.

21

Miss.

22

Mother Fang, close all of Shuoan Hall in and out.

23

Do not let anyone pass through easily or ask for news.

24

We need to limit access.

25

Yes.

26

Sir.

27

You are most trusted by General Shen.

28

Last time with the delivery, it was all dependent on you.

29

That kept Sister Zhang alive.

30

I imagine you must be skilled as well as kind.

31

I won't go in circles with you. I only ask you for the truth.

32

Please tell me. How did my grandmother fall ill?

33

Old Madam's illness is indeed peculiar.

34

She had severe stomachache in the afternoon.

35

Vomit and diarrhea. Her body is in a continuous twitch.

36

It doesn't look like an illness, is that right?

37

You're sage. It doesn't look like an illness. It looks like poison.

38

What did Grandmother eat today?

39

What did she drink and what was she wearing?

40

Old Madam only ate breakfast and lunch today.

41

She didn't eat much and all that was left was poured into the slop bucket.

42

It's all still there but the smell.

43

Just the stuff made by our kitchen?

44

Miss, you know it.

45

Our Old Madam has been devout for decades and she's never been a food-glutton. Every bite is remembered.

46

And the kitchen helps are all seasoned for decades and their lives are in our yard.

47

Then . . .

48

Was there anything else?

49

Something unexpected.

50

Old Madam is elderly now.

51

She suddenly likes to eat sweet.

52

Jufang Pagoda has an aging chef.

53

He makes the best lotus seed cakes in the capital.

54

But this chef is elderly too.

55

So he only makes them personally twice in a month.

56

Old Madam would always have someone go and wait to buy.

57

Speak. Keep going.

58

Miss, you know.

59

Young Master Quan is most obedient to Old Madam, his grandmother.

60

Old Madam said Master Quan is old enough to know the customs.

61

So she's having him go and greet Big Madam daily.

62

Big Madam is very grateful so she sent someone to wait at Jufang Pagoda when it's still dark.

63

To buy steaming hot cakes for Old Madam as show of devotion.

64

So . . . this was sent by Big Madam too?

65

But it's been going on for months and we've never had an issue.

66

Miss. Here. Look.

67

I don't think it would be Big Madam.

68

What's wrong, Sir?

69

Sir?

70

What a scary scheme.

71

Ginkgo sprout.

72

What?

73

Ginkgo is edible.

74

But ginkgo sprout is not edible.

75

Technically it is not considered poison and it's not detectable by the silver needle.

76

But if you take the ginkgo sprout,

77

and squeeze out the juice. Lots of it.

78

Make a concentrate out of it and it is fatal to human.

79

Then . . . is there a way to save her?

80

Thank goodness Old Madam didn't eat too much.

81

If she had eaten more,

82

even the Great God can't save.

83

Now, I'll prescribe medicine to promote vomit.

84

And I'll use acupuncture to rejuvenate and protect the qi.

85

Then we can use medicine soup to dissipate the poison after.

86

It means there's still hope.

87

Old Madam is elderly.

88

Her body and bones aren't as strong as a youth.

89

It's not for sure. Not for sure.

90

Miss. Please watch your own health.

91

Old Madam's hope hangs on you.

92

Don't be too startled, Madam. I will do my utmost.

93

For safety measure,

94

I will go see what Old Madam's leftover from morning and noon.

95

I'll have someone go with you.

96

My courtesy to you.

97

Alright.

98

Xiaotao.

99

How many doors are in Sheng Manor? Do you know?

100

I know. Front gate, back gate, side gate by front gate,

101

side gate on the west side for carriage and horse.

102

And a small gate in the backyard by the garden and pond.

103

There are two dog holes in the east garden too.

104

Take my badge.

105

Go to our manor and find Sir Second Tu and his group.

106

Have them come to this yard,

107

and shut it from inside. Not one person can leave.

108

Yes.

109

Those bastards!

110

Sixth Miss. Sixth Miss.

111

Sixth Miss, what does this mean? Disallowed in and out.

112

And beating? His Lordship has to go to royal court session.

113

Mother Liu from Big Madam's room.

114

Take this.

115

I know. But where's Sixth Miss?

116

Sixth Miss.

117

Last night, a bunch of scary hooligans came to our yard.

118

They've put a seize around our hall.

119

Earlier you said my father has to go to court?

120

Yes!

121

Then it means my father rested at Big Madam's.

122

- Lately the master is always at my big madam's.

- I'll come over with you.

123

You! What the hell is this you're doing?

124

You had people circle tight our manor to disallow access?

125

And whoever is slightly unwilling is beaten?

126

If this gets out,

127

how can our Sheng House place our footing outside?

128

My own daughter has the house surrounded. What a bizarre happening!

129

You still care about your face right now?

130

I have to go to royal court.

131

Didn't you say yesterday it's alright to call in for one day of absence?

132

Father, do not worry. I've already sent someone to bid your absence.

133

Saying your elderly mother is ill at home and you are too weary-stricken thus staying home to serve her.

134

Father is always so diligent and you've never been absent.

135

If this gets out,

136

people will only say you are so filial and devoted to your mother and such a pure and kind spirit.

137

For your reputation as an official, it's quite beneficial.

138

That's actually pretty good too.

139

But you've got the entire house surrounded. What are you trying to do exactly?

140

To prevent anyone from leaking in and out news here.

141

What do you mean leaking news?

142

Poison.

143

What?

144

That . . . what nonsense are you spewing?

145

You mean Old Madam?

146

How can that be? This family?

147

We're all just family so how is that possible?

148

There's poison in here?

149

Arsenic?

150

Not arsenic .

151

- That's what I said. It's clearly . . .

- Clearly what?

152

Clearly she's ill. She's ill.

153

The sprout of the white nut is poisonous.

154

Press the juice of the sprout to an extract and add to the cake.

155

But Heaven has eyes. This cake is so sweet so Grandmother only ate half of it.

156

Imperial Physician said if she had consumed all these,

157

Grandmother would be in Yama Palace now.

158

Yama Palace (Hell)?

159

The most amusing part is that yesterday at noon, Big Madam's servants

160

went to Shuoan Hall to ask for the leftovers.

161

Saying Big Nephew wanted to eat it .

162

All thanks to Mother Fang who thought Grandmother ate too little of it.

163

And she was afraid she might want to eat it again later so she lied and said it was all gone.

164

Hence we have these saved.

165

What a good scheme and calculation.

166

You . . . why are you looking at me like that?

167

Why are you looking at me like that too?

168

So many people praised you.

169

Saying you had someone go before daylight to go and buy cakes for Old Madam.

170

What are you trying to push off now?

171

Speak!

172

It's . . . just a few cakes.

173

And you want to nail my crime?

174

Not so easy!

175

Who knows if it's because Old Madam's close servants harbor some bad intention.

176

To scheme Old Madam.

177

You idiot! Shuoan Hall's people have served her for decades.

178

Why would they poison her?

179

Who knows if it's because Old Madam might seem sweet but a bitter heart in reality.

180

And she's secretly very harsh to the servants and they harbor grudge?

181

Or that imperial physician.

182

He can't figure out the illness so he's fibbing nonsense.

183

That's fine then. We live in the capital.

184

We make our living in the imperial city.

185

We can hire more imperial physicians to come look.

186

To see if Grandmother is poisoned or sick.

187

Can't do. This is an ugly matter.

188

Yesterday you had that imperial physician come and now that I think about it, that was reckless.

189

If it gets out, what face will our Sheng House have?

190

You can't let more people know now.

191

Father, be assured. This imperial physician has managed all sorts of events.

192

His lips are tight.

193

It wasn't my idea to hire other physicians actually.

194

It was because Big Madam doesn't trust this physician.

195

You still won't acknowledge your wrong?

196

She is just elderly.

197

She craved it and ate sprouted white nut and she's ill.

198

You just take a few cakes here and accuse me?

199

You want me to acknowledge it? Over my death!

200

Sheng Hong, you two father and daughter think my maiden home is all dead?

201

Big Madam, you needn't seek death here.

202

If you think my father and I are speaking unfairly,

203

we can go to public court and have the magistrate judge.

204

Won't that do then?

205

You deadbeat daughter! You don't care about reputation but Sheng House still does!

206

Let me tell you. If you want to pierce this matter out, I will beat you to death.

207

If you really don't want this matter to get big,

208

then may you please persuade Big Madam.

- You . . .

209

Or else, my accusation letter is going all the way to the government office.

210

Or else, Father, you can hide both Grandmother and evidence.

211

So I have nothing I can accuse of.

212

You dare? You dare?

213

Good child, I know you want to vent for your grandmother.

214

I understand your intention but we are all one blood kin.

215

Why should we blow this so stiff?

216

We'll shut the door and discuss slowly, alright?

217

Once we find the truth, I will not indulge!

218

All blood kin?

219

Father. In this manor, everyone's a kin or a family.

220

Except only Grandmother!

221

Father. You and I are father and daughter by blood.

222

My siblings and I are blood relations.

223

Big Madam and Sister-in-law birthed Sheng blood offsprings.

224

But Grandmother?

225

She has no blood relative.

226

You are not her biological son.

227

Big Sister and Big Brother and the rest of us. None are her blood.

228

Big Madam has her maiden home as her backer. But what about Grandmother?

229

Back then, for your future's sake,

230

Grandmother wouldn't let the maiden home marry their illegitimate daughter over.

231

She was loathed and berated by her maiden home.

232

She cut off ties with the marquis manor for you!

233

The one who use poison. They already counted on that.

234

So you would think, Father.

235

"Yes, our Sheng House is so prominent now."

236

"How can we let such a petty matter."

237

"Bring havoc?"

238

How can you slap the marchioness?

239

You unfiliial rebel!I will slap you when I want!

240

Last night, I had this yard completely shut.

241

What did you think I did that for?

242

You do whatever you want. Have you thought of the consequence?

243

What consequence? It's just your reputation, isn't it?

244

For this reputation of yours. Same as when my mother died.

245

What? So now, you want to take this matter,

246

brush it off as smaller than it is, then brush the small into nothing?

247

This daughter I've raised is so skilled!

248

Slandering your own father! Let me tell you,

249

from now on, I don't have a daughter like you!

250

I already thought it to the clear!

251

From now on, even if you don't acknowledge me,

252

even if I offend the whole family completely,

253

even if I never have a maiden home to lean back on.

254

What glory and prestige? What confer of title and nobility?

255

I don't want any of that! I just want fairness.

256

I only beg for justice for Grandmother!

257

She's crazy. Crazy.

258

There is two paths now. Either Big Madam

259

you hurry and explain this clearly.

260

Or I will go strike the drum and cry my grievance at Keifeng Precinct.

261

You guys figure it out!

262

Husband.

263

We're in this plot now.

264

We don't have another route.

265

If you still won't fess the truth,

266

I can only hand you the divorce papers.

267

Worst case I offend the Wang House and I never acquaint them again.

268

You! You're crazy.

269

Crazy! Wild!

270

You dare to accuse and slander your elder?

271

Go and tell His Majesty.

272

Tell him I'm rebellious to my elder.

273

If you can walk out of here.

274

Go get paper and ink. I'll write the repudiating letter now.

275

Husband.

276

Husband, my Wang House has always been good to you.

277

Husband, you can't treat me this way.

278

Let me tell you!

279

Imperial Physician already has the diagnose.

280

That cake has poison and you bought them!

281

Just those three alone.

282

The brat has your life in her palm.

283

What's Wang House?

284

You scheme and harm your mother-in-law. Even if you're the princess,

285

I will still divorce you!

286

I... my father's suited for the imperial shrine!

287

You dare to divorce me?!

288

Big Madam!

289

Stop being stubborn!

290

Big Madam!

291

If you still don't say the truth, Young Master Bai and the other two misses will get dragged into this.

292

If you care,

293

this will make the two misses unable to make any footing in their husband's family.

294

Young Master Bai is currently having a great political career!

295

I almost forgot about you, Nanny Liu.

296

You are the trusted aide of Big Madam.

297

For such an important matter, how could you not be involved?

298

When Old Madam instructed not to let Madam Kang come to our house again,

299

as a servant, I also felt that it was very right.

300

I initially came from the House of Wang,

301

but I must say something today.

302

This eldest sister of Big Madam is getting worse.

303

I also frequently urge Big Madam to stop having any interaction with her.

304

But Big Madam, in consideration of their sibling relationship,

305

just won't listen. Every time she talked with her,

306

she would send me out.

307

It then means that you don't know anything.

308

While listening outside the window earlier,

309

I could guess it more or less.

310

Don't Miss just have some suspicion, that's why you insist on asking Big Madam

311

to admit it?

312

Or else, just with what the royal physician said,

313

and this plate of snacks, you would have a fit since last night

314

and would be discussing on her punishment today,

315

not just forcing her to confess.

316

In this whole house, you're the only sensible person.

317

I'm quite impressed.

318

The House of Wang really gave it a lot of thought to send you over here.

319

Sixth Miss,

320

I've attended to Big Madam since she was young.

321

I know her personality the most.

322

Although she's a bit impatient,

323

she's a very straightforward person.

324

How could she have thought of some gingko or juice,

325

such sinister methods of scheming?!

326

Miss, isn't it also because you are doubtful of this

327

that's why you kept asking Big Madam

328

to tell the truth?

329

What she said is true too.

330

This main wife of mine would always do things in an open manner.

331

Even if she knows that this gingko bud is poisonous,

332

how could she know that the juice of its bud can be refined into a thick juice?

333

Only a very meticulous person

334

Miss! Miss!

335

I've followed you for decades, since I was little!

336

When have I not whole-heartedly helped and covered for you?!

337

Say it!

338

She's trying to frame you to death here! Just say it!

339

Not for anyone else, just for our young master and misses!

340

It's that...legitimate eldest sister of mine,

341

Madam Kang.

342

She...told me that I'm being controlled

343

by Old Madam so tightly.

344

Getting scolded or punished by her at the slightest pretext.

345

Now, I even lost the right to manage my house.

346

Even my daughter-in-law can step on my face.

347

That I've really lived a good-for-nothing life.

348

But Old Madam has such healthy body.

349

Don't know for how long I still must bear everything.

350

Hence...

351

- Hence, you and your older sister colluded to poison Old Madam?!

- No! No!

352

I won't! I dare not! I really won't dare!

353

I... She said...

354

As long as Old Madam's health would weaken a little,

355

getting sick every so often,

356

have no energy to care about this or that,

357

I can then be the master of this household.

358

Muddle. You're really muddle!

359

You're so stupid!

360

My older sister said that fruit is safe.

361

Didn't the royal physician also said last night that her condition has been stabilized?

362

How would I know?

363

Main Mother, you're so muddled.

364

Have you thought about Brother Changbai's son? Your own grandson?

365

He would frequently go to grandmother's place to play.

366

If grandmother dotes him and really shared a bite for him to eat,

367

could Quan'er still be alive now?

368

She's my biological sister.

369

She won't do that...

370

That is your own grandson and not hers!

371

Why would she care?!

372

Even if something bad did happen to Young Master Quan,

373

can you confront her?

374

Only she gets to manipulate you!

375

She's just waiting for grandmother to die and you to grab hold of the power to run this household.

376

With she knowing your secret of killing your mother-in-law, how could you refuse whatever she asks,

377

refuse whatever she wants you to do? If you can't do it, she'll force you to ask Brother Changbai to do it.

378

For things you can't give her, she'll ask you to ask it from Sister Hualan.

379

By then, won't you and our House of Sheng just casually get manipulated by her like that?

380

Shameless!

381

- Who are you?

- Help! Help!

382

Get lost!

383

Second Master Tu?

384

This woman wants to escape through the dog hole.

385

What are you doing?! Let go of me!

386

Drag her in for Miss to see.

387

[ Weiruixuan ]

388

Why are you going out?

389

You... You are my sister's man?!

390

I'm innocent, Big Madam. It's because I have an urgent matter at home, that's why, I wanted to leave.

391

What urgent matter?

392

I... My mother is sick, Master. You're currently agitated because Old Madam is sick.

393

I also am anxious that my mother is sick!

394

Bullshit!

395

Your mother has died 2 years ago.

396

I even asked Nanny Liu to give you 5 taels of silver as burial money.

397

It's...godmother! A godmother is still a mother, Big Madam!

398

You're still not telling the truth?!

399

If you still don't say the truth, I'll look for someone to drag you out and cane you to death!

400

What look for someone? This can't get out.

401

I don't have that much idle time.

402

Grandmother must have her second bowl of medicine now.

403

Since father is afraid of alarming other people,

404

- Second Master Tu.

- Here!

405

She doesn't want to tell the truth. May Second Master think of a way.

406

You...

407

I'll say it! I'll say it! It's Madam Kang.

408

It's her. She gave me some more silver

409

so I will tell her what's happening in this manor.

410

A few days ago, she came here to see her little sister and chatted for a while.

411

Before going back, she gave me a few more,

412

asking me to immediately report back to her if there are any happenings here!

413

Ungrateful bitch!

414

Second Master Gu, guard her well.

415

Don't let anyone approach her and don't lose her.

416

Yes.

417

Big Madam! Big Madam!

418

[ Sheng Manor ]

419

Father, do you now know why I sealed the manor?

420

If we did this right on the scene yesterday,

421

then it's a spy in our house colluding with an evil outsider.

422

But since this matter was the doing of that Kang woman,

423

stop blaming your legitimate mother already, okay?

424

Yes, I really thought that Old Madam would only be sick for a few days.

425

Father, have you thought about what to do next?

426

Next?

427

Of course, it's to trouble the royal physician to exert more effort

428

in nursing Old Madam.

429

Since father hasn't thought about what should happen next, I will decide for you.

430

Nanny Liu, thank you for your help this time.

431

Good thing, Caihuai was apprehended and she didn't foil the situation.

432

May I trouble you to go to the Kang Manor and invite maternal aunt here.

433

That troublemaker Kang, why must we still invite her here?!

434

Just pretend to be frightened and panicking.

435

Tell her that grandmother struggled for a night

436

and is now gasping her last breath.

437

Big Madam is so scared.

438

She's especially asking maternal aunt to come over and help her in coming up with ideas,

439

- to extend some helping hand.

- This...

440

She caused all this trouble.

441

How could she be willing to come?

442

Why wouldn't she?

443

It wasn't easy for her to finally do this pleasurable thing. How can she endure it?

444

Just quickly go. Or else, this line won't be of any use soon.

445

Yes.

446

- You can't go out right now.

- You can't go out.

447

Why still deceive her? We can just directly go to their Kang Manor and argue with them.

448

If this matter is true, will that House of Kang,

449

wrong, the House of Wang, be willing to hand her over?

450

I'm sure father won't dare escalate this to the local officials

451

and ask for an open and fair punishment.

452

By then, we can't really drag our witness and charge into their house, right?

453

Father, it wasn't easy for our family to reach our status now.

454

It's all thanks to the blessings of our ancestors.

455

Father has been promoted to a fourth-rank official.

456

My sisters have all been married off to good families too.

457

Second Brother Changbai has such bright political future ahead.

458

Since Third Brother mended his ways and became focused, he surely will pass the civil examination soon.

459

With our Sheng Family having such good future potential,

460

must we get destroyed in the hands of that crazy Maternal Aunt Kang?

461

What you said is right.

462

It took great pains for our family to finally manage having such achievement and status. It mustn't just go down the drain.

463

Hence, we must make her come here.

464

Have her be under our control.

465

No matter how she should be dealt with, we get to have the final say.

466

What?

467

How else do you want to deal with her?

468

Are you planning to have her life?

469

Father, don't worry. I won't cause you trouble.

470

I'll bring her out before killing her.

471

What?

472

You... You one are so obedient and docile. How come your speech is full of fighting and killing now?

473

You're like Yaksha (a malevolent spirit).

474

That's right. Why is that?

475

My god.

476

Can we really get justice for Old Madam?

477

In this world, between people,

478

it's always a test of who's more willing to sacrifice it all.

479

Father. Main Mother.

480

House of Kang. House of Wang.

481

None of them is willing to give it their all.

482

But I dare to.

483

Earlier, Old Madam vomited again. It was really such a heartache to watch.

484

But after vomiting, she was able to lie down more comfortably and her breathing became more normal.

485

- Has she woken up yet?

- Not yet.

486

Once the royal physician returns, attend to him well.

487

Miss, don't worry. We all know what to do.

488

Sixth Miss, Madam Kang went to Big Madam's room alone.

489

What did you tell her?

490

I told her that Big Madam wants to confide and discuss things with her.

491

That even I mustn't enter the room.

492

Nanny Liu, thank you.

493

You sincerely care for her.

494

I dare not receive your praises. I'm just doing my job to my utmost.

495

The people of Madam Kang has already been detained and being watched by the older servants of the main house.

496

There must be quite a number of them.

497

You can really predict things. There are four older servants that came with her this time.

498

By the gates, there are still 6 male servants. Among these four older servants,

499

two are close maid attendants from the House of Wang that were part of her dowry.

500

And the other two are her trusted steward maids.

501

- What's wrong?

- I just noticed that

502

Nanny Qi didn't come.

503

Is she important?

504

Although Nanny Qi is old,

505

she's the most trusted maidservant of Madam Kang.

506

Which means that the most important person didn't come,

507

while all other who's not are here.

508

This is interesting then.

509

Nanny Liu, do one more thing for me.

510

Today, no people can be seen in front and at the back of the house. It shows that you've really put your heart into this.

511

We've guarded this place so tightly. Only Madam Kang was able to enter the courtyard of Big Madam earlier.

512

We were instructed not to follow.

513

You both are quick-witted.

514

The two madams indeed have things to talk about.

515

But don't imitate those discontent servants,

516

who would try to listen for a bit and in the end, harm themselves.

517

Yes. Yes.

518

[ Weiruixuan ]

519

Is your heart black?!

520

That is one life!

521

It was you who kept crying to me every day

522

how your mother-in-law is oppressing you to the point that you can't breath anymore.

523

She even had you kneel by her door.

524

Now, you're pretending to be filial?

525

I...only want...for her to be sick for a few days.

526

You want to kill my mother-in-law and even frame me.

527

You're so heartless!

528

What are you talking about?

529

Let me tell you. You're the one who placed the poison.

530

My hands are very clearn.

531

Now...no one can escape.

532

What nonsense are you saying?

533

She's saying that since you've fallen into my hands,

534

don't think of clearing yourself from this.

535

Why are you here?

536

Quickly get out. Your legitimate mother and I have things to discuss.

537

Maternal Aunt, you are so capable.

538

How did you know about the juice of ginkgo?

539

What nonsense is this child spouting?

540

You are confusing me.

541

It's okay. Once I'm done interrogating,

542

you won't be confused anymore.

543

Interrogate?

544

You even dare to interrogate me?

545

Look at this illegitimate daughter of yours.

546

She even wants to interrogate me.

547

You really think you can get out of this room today?

548

You dare?!

549

Take her in!

550

Sixth Miss, it's her. It's her.

551

She told me that Big Madam will only favor

552

Nanny Liu, hence, I can never get promoted.

553

That's why, she gave me some money to be her spy.

554

She had me tell her everything about our manor.

555

Big Madam...

556

I just couldn't accept how I'm unable to be better than Nanny Liu.

557

My heart got blinded by pig's oil for me to have agreed to her.

558

Big Madam, in consideration of how I've taken care of you,

559

please forgive me!

560

You bitch!

561

Other than Nanny Liu who came with me as my dowry, among all the servants in this courtyard,

562

I treated you the best!

563

You are so ungrateful! You dare destroy me?!

564

This lowly servant is spouting nonsense!

565

She's slandering me.

566

- Have everything been prepared?

- Yes.

567

Take this madam out first.

568

Keep watch of her and search her body.

569

Don't let her hurt herself.

570

What are you doing? Let go of me!

571

I'm your legitimate eldest sister after all.

572

You dare let that bitch treat me like this?

573

You were even denying it earlier and saying that everything was my doing. Now, you've thought about how we are siblings?

574

You...

575

I'm a wife of an official. Let's see who among you would dare touch me.

576

These two senior servants were from the manor of the rebel prince.

577

They've seen people of your status a lot.

578

Why won't they dare touch you?

579

- You bitch! You...

- Move!

580

My husband and maternal family are both... Let go of me!

581

I'm an official's wife.

584

♫One morning, a flower opened and approached a willow tree,

beautifully fragrant and mistaking him for her lord♫

585

♫Even if drinking in water in the morning, red clouds have half a day of sunshine,

the wind and rain do not affect them completely♫

586

♫In the palace, you are constantly brave and growing thin,

from on high, your cold tears of distress flow♫

587

♫Brocade letters delivered to me dismiss me, only suddenly to recall me,

not for many years can I see you other than stealthily♫

588

♫Last night, gusty winds and rain

during my deep slumber did not spoil the wine's lingering effect♫

589

♫When I asked someone, they rolled the blind up

and told me that all the crab-apple trees are as before.♫

590

♫Don't you know, don't you know,

there must be flourishing leaves and fallen flowers?♫
