[Special Lady]

[Episode 27]

Let me tell you.

The pastry is very delicious.

Really? I want to try it too.

Lady Yan,

what happened?

Miss Yan.

Did you two...

know Xiao Yu and Song Zhu

are engaged long ago?

-They are... -Engaged?

Am I the only one

in the academy

who was fooled like an idiot?

Miss Yan, calm down first.

Lady Yan,

-we really didn't know this. -Get out.

I asked you to get out. Didn't you hear me?

Get out!

-Miss Yan. -Lady Yan.

Why don't we...

go to my room, Lady Zhao?

Qinruo.

Let me explain first.

The engagement was made by my father

when I was three.

I planned to cancel the engagement.

And?

All this time,

you've been engaged, right?

You've been lying to me

all along.

Right?

If there's nothing else,

I want to rest.

Qinruo.

Qinruo, let me explain first.

Qinruo.

Qinruo, open the door first.

Let me explain.

Qinruo.

Fortune-telling. Fortune-telling.

Fortune-telling. Fortune-telling. Does anyone want to try fortune-telling?

Does anyone want to try fortune-telling? Fortune-telling.

Let's go.

Mr. Zhou?

Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou.

Fortune-teller Ding Miao is here.

Mr. Zhou, do you believe in fate?

Mr. Zhou,

do you want us to read your marriage fate?

Xue Hanfu just learned it.

Why don't you... give him a chance to try it?

Yes, I just learned it.

Let me read your fortune.

Mr. Zhou, come on.

Mr. Zhou. Mr. Zhou.

Let's go.

It's all my fault.

What exactly do you want to say?

What can you say even if you go to Zhou Ji now?

The result will be the same,

just like when you went to Yan Qinruo.

You've been following me.

It's raining.

Let's go home.

It's none of your business.

Don't joke about your health, okay?

You're the one who will suffer if you catch a cold.

It's all your fault.

It's all your fault. It's all your fault.

Why didn't you help me explain just now?

You were there just now.

Why?

I...

What could I possibly say?

Why?

Why?

Why are we engaged?

Why has my life been arranged since I was born?

Why should I take responsibility

for a decision made by someone else?

Why?

Xiao Yu, stop following me.

I don't want to see you.

Xiao Yu,

why did you appear in my life?

Do you hate me that much?

Yes.

I hate you so much.

Can't I hate you?

Shouldn't I hate you?

I'm a liar.

You're a liar too.

Stop following me.

Actually...

Actually, I...

I'm not Xiao Yu.

Untie me!

Untie me!

Untie me!

How dare you kidnap me!

How dare you...

You...

Father?

Chen Yan,

are you done?

Father,

what is this about?

Untie me now.

Have you had enough fun

all these days?

Xiao Yu.

Your Highness, do you think he looks familiar?

He is the teaching assistant of Women's Academy of Yiyang Academy.

His name is Xiao Yu.

Father,

I'm not doing this to have fun.

I have something important to do.

Ridiculous.

What's so important

that you have to be the teaching assistant

with someone else's identity?

Tell me.

I was just going to tell you.

Actually, I...

Actually, I

like the study atmosphere of Yiyang Academy.

Stop playing tricks with me.

Do you know your mother has been so worried about you

that she has been unable to eat or sleep every day?

You have to go back

with me today.

Father,

if I leave without saying goodbye like this,

the people in the academy will worry about me.

I knew you would say this.

Don't worry.

I've asked someone to deliver

a letter of resignation to Mr. Chen.

No one will worry about you.

Father,

how could you submit a letter of resignation for me without my permission?

Can you be reasonable?

You want me to reason with you?

What's the use of reasoning with you?

You left without saying goodbye to me or your mother.

Have you ever thought

if we would worry about you?

No.

I'm going back.

Father,

why are you so cruel?

If you keep being unreasonable,

I can be crueller.

In your eyes, I'm always unreasonable.

I don't care what you're doing now.

You have to go back with me today.

There's no room for discussion.

What if I refuse?

Try it.

Jump off the ship

if you dare.

Fine.

I'm going to give it a try today.

-Young Master! -Young Master!

Let me go!

-You can't jump. -You can't jump.

Let go!

Let go!

Let go of me!

Be careful.

Let go! I'm going to jump into the river!

Yueniang.

Yue...

What's wrong with her?

Yueniang,

get up for lunch.

Yueniang,

I won't wait for you if you don't get up now.

Yueniang?

Yueniang

is getting lazier.

Where's Yueniang? Why hasn't she come here yet?

Mother, I went to get her just now.

I guess she's still sleeping.

Why hasn't she got up at this hour?

Maybe she just fell asleep

after burning the midnight oil copying books last night.

Right.

I saw Yueniang yesterday.

It seemed she...

It seemed what?

It seemed she was unwell.

She was all wet.

Uncle Dai, hurry up.

Okay.

Yueniang. Yueniang.

Yueniang.

This...

Uncle Dai, force the door open.

Yueniang,

I'm going to burst the door open.

Do it.

Yueniang, what happened?

What's wrong?

Yueniang.

No matter what happened, you can just tell me.

Don't keep it to yourself.

Don't make me worried.

Mr. Song.

-Darling. -Mr. Song.

Yueniang...

Leave.

Yueniang,

do you have anything to tell me?

Father,

I made a mistake.

They will forgive me

after I finish copying these books, right?

Tell me

what mistake you made.

Father,

do you think

they will forgive a liar?

Darling,

what on earth happened to Yueniang?

Uncle Dai.

Mr. Song.

Did anything happen in the academy recently?

I've never heard of anything.

Yueniang was fine the day before yesterday.

Darling, do you mean

what happened to Yueniang is related to the academy?

I'll ask around.

Don't disturb Yueniang.

[Prince Fu's Mansion]

Mother.

Yan.

Mother, you're finally here.

You've lost weight.

Come on.

I specially asked them to make chicken soup for you.

Drink it while it's hot.

Here.

Drink slowly.

Look how hungry you are.

Mother,

can you hold a blind date party for me?

Why?

Well.

Father and you

can't always keep an eye on me like this.

So I want you to hold a blind date party for me.

I'll marry a girl I like.

And you can let her keep an eye on me.

Do you agree?

Of course I agree.

Well...

Let's put it on the agenda, Mother.

Let's... Let's get this done in the next few days.

Okay.

Yan has become sensible.

Come on, drink more while it's hot.

[To Xiao Chuanzhong]

Yueniang,

you are no longer a liar.

I've asked around in the academy.

I know what's troubling you.

In terms of the engagement,

I was thoughtless.

This is a letter I wrote to your Uncle Chuanzhong.

You can use this to explain it to your friends.

After that, you can send the letter yourself.

Darling,

if you do this,

what should we say to Chuanzhong?

If the letter is sent, the engagement will really be cancelled.

We haven't met Chuanzhong for so long.

Now we suddenly want to cancel the engagement.

Don't you think it's... inappropriate?

Darling,

do you still remember Ling's marriage?

That was the empress dowager's order.

What could we do?

Due to the empress dowager's order,

Ling got married and went to the capital.

It's been so many years.

All these years, as parents,

we just want our children to be happy and safe.

But have we ever understood

Rongniang's thoughts?

That's right.

We feel guilty towards Ling.

Her marriage was decided by the empress dowager. There was nothing we could do to change it.

But Yueniang's marriage was decided by us.

We can't leave regrets on ourselves again.

Yueniang's happiness

is more important than my friendship with Chuanzhong.

I'd rather he blames me.

But I believe Chuanzhong will understand me.

We're old friends.

But I'm also Yueniang's father.

Darling,

Chuanzhong is also a father.

I believe he will understand.

He will.

Song Zhu.

Where did you go? Where did you go?

Where did you go?

What?

Do you miss me?

Who misses you?

Shameless.

You don't miss me?

Then I'll disappear if you don't miss me.

Okay. Just disappear.

Junior Zhou.

Did you hear that?

Xiao Yu said he will disappear.

You believe me now, right?

That's good.

Yueniang, let's go.

Let's go.

Song Zhu.

Song Zhu!

Song Zhu!

Song...

Your Highness,

His Highness said you can't leave the room.

I have diarrhoea.

I have diarrhoea.

Your Highness,

please make do with this.

[Madam is seriously ill. Come back immediately]

Junior Zhou, I...

Junior Zhou.

Won't you even give me a chance to explain?

I really have cancelled the engagement.

Higher.

Okay.

[Zhou Mansion]

Be careful.

Is it okay?

Young Master.

Why did Young Master come back?

Why didn't Young Master tell us in advance that he would come back?

Brother,

Mother is seriously ill.

But they still have the mood to celebrate here.

That means Mother's illness is not that serious.

But Uncle Mao said in the letter

Mother is seriously ill.

Don't worry. I'm here.

Everything will be fine.

Let's go see our mother now.

Mother!

Mother.

Mother.

Mother, don't leave me.

Mother.

You can't leave me and my brother behind.

Mother, you can't leave me and my brother behind.

No wonder Teaching Assistant Xiao hasn't come these days.

It turns out that such a serious thing happened.

Lady Yan, why aren't you eating?

I have no appetite.

The food is cold. I'm going to replace it with a hot serving.

No need.

I'll still have no appetite even if you replace it.

Lady Yan,

it's already happened.

I don't think Zhu did it on purpose.

Why don't you forgive her first?

Why are you all looking at me?

I'm the one who likes Mr. Xiao.

I'm also the one who had been deceived since the beginning.

I'm the victim.

It was Miss Song Zhu who did something wrong.

Why should I forgive her?

I won't forgive her.

I won't forgive her for the rest of my life.

Stop looking.

Let her be.

I know the root cause of this matter is not with you.

Leave the rest to time.

Alright, stop crying.

You haven't gone to class in Women's Academy for a few days.

Sister,

do you think is there...

is there anything I can do?

I'll help you choose a gift tomorrow.

Talk to her and make it clear some other day.

There are too many people here today.

Right.

Teaching Assistant Xiao has resigned.

Do you know why?

He has resigned?

Looks like I asked the wrong person.

I just told him not to follow me.

I didn't expect him to resign directly.

You drove him away?

I didn't.

Are you going to men's dorm again?

Mother, don't leave me.

Young Master Ji,

It's Master's order.

We... have to obey his order.

I understand.

Did Mother... have any last words?

When we arrived,

Madam Li had already died.

A doctor came this morning.

He said no one answered the door in the side yard.

That was when they found...

Mother.

Uncle Mao,

take care of her for me.

Brother.

Brother, where are you going?

I can't let Mother die like this.

But we have no money now.

I'll figure out a way.

Y-Young Master Ji.

Madam Li gave this bracelet

to me earlier.

She asked me to give this bracelet to you

when you two need money in the future.

At first, I didn't know what she meant.

Now that I think about it,

maybe Madam Li knew

she didn't have much time left long ago.

This is the bracelet my father gave her.

My son is studying in the Imperial College.

Please take care of him in the future.

Master Zhou, no problem.

Mr. Zhou Ting is handsome.

I'm flattered.

Please take care of me in the future.

Sure.

Have a few more drinks tonight.

Okay.

I will.

Please come in.

Okay.

Well. It's an honor

to have you here.

Good morning, Senior Song.

Junior Ding,

let me ask you something.

Do you know why Xiao Yu resigned?

I don't know.

Aren't you in Women's Academy?

How would I know if you don't know?

Aren't you two close?

He didn't tell me, and I felt embarrassed to ask him.

And it seems he hasn't come back for a few days.

What about Zhou Ji?

It seems something happened to his family.

He asked for a leave and left.

Something happened to his family?

I think... so.

And... he left in a hurry with his sister.

If there is nothing else,

I... I'm leaving.

Thank you.

Why did they all leave suddenly?

Brother,

now you are my only family

in this world.

Young Master Ji,

let's seal the coffin with nails.

Mother.

Mother,

I'm unfilial.

I haven't let you enjoy an easy or carefree life.

Sachets for sale.

Miss, look at my sachets.

Let me take a look at this.

The sachets are in all kinds of colors.

Ladies, please have a look.

This just arrived yesterday.

Look.

Is it pretty?

Yes.

We're here to buy something for Lady Yan.

Why are you absent-minded?

Boss.

Get out of the way!

Get out of the way!

Stop eating. Get out of the way!

What are you looking at? Get out of the way!

I'm talking to you.

Lord Zhao.

Isn't this... Mr. Liu?

I didn't see you just now.

I was wrong.

What?

You have money to do business.

But you have no money to pay taxes?

My Lord, please give me a few more days.

I will give the money to you.

How can he be so arrogant in broad daylight?

Don't be nosy.

Ladies, who are you?

Come here.

I'm a daughter of Song Xu, the dean of Yiyang Academy.

We are his daughters.

Who?

Song Xu.

That nerd.

I'm so scared.

Now it's my turn to ask you.

Do you know who I am?

What does it have to do with us?

Aren't you a local ruffian?

Who else could you be?

Speaking of my name,

I'm afraid even Li Shancai, the county magistrate of Yiyang County,

needs to show me some respect.

Really?

Miss,

are you scared?

Run! What are you waiting for?

Big Brother, are you alright?

Run!

Big Brother, are you alright?

After them!

Okay, let's go. After them!

Get out of the way!

-Come back! -Stop!

What about me?

Big Brother, get up.

You losers!

[Song Mansion]

Yueniang,

don't let...

our parents know about this.

If you won't tell them, I won't tell them either.

Sister,

you go back first.

Where are you going?

I have something important to do.

Go back first.

Yueniang.

Yueniang!

[Yiyang County Government]

I'd like to see if Li Shancai, the county magistrate of Yiyang,

cares about the civilians here.

The court trial opens now.

Oyez. Oyez.

Bring the criminals here.

I've always been impartial.

I uphold justice

and I am devoted to solving cases.

I heard that some local ruffians in Yiyang County

picked on civilians under my nose.

Thanks to my quick response,

I immediately asked my men to arrest them at the city gate.

They were caught immediately.

Song Zhu,

take a look. Was it them?

Lord Li,

it took you so long.

And you only caught two scapegoats?

Well, this...

I serve the people wholeheartedly.

I've done my best and carried out my duties.

I think you did your best to delay the opening of the court trial,

so that you could inform those people.

Well...

What do you mean?

Don't you know what I mean?

Those people were very arrogant.

They said even the government couldn't do anything to them.

How could they?

It must be a rumor.

Whether it's a rumor

or the truth,

everything will be clear

when the prime culprit is arrested.

Okay.

Don't worry.

Don't worry, everyone.

I'm here.

No matter what backgrounds the criminals have,

I will bring them to justice.

Bring them to justice.

Guards,

break their... legs.

Let's see if they dare to harass civilians again.

My Lord, didn't you just say...

My Lord, please don't.

My Lord! My Lord!
