[Episode 2]
27
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,904
I have found the mastermind behind it.
28
00:01:43,904 --> 00:01:48,523
It's none other than Prince Ling's son, Gu Yanxi.
29
00:01:52,620 --> 00:01:55,430
He has been leading the northern army for years
30
00:01:55,430 --> 00:01:57,440
and is now with great military power under his command.
31
00:01:57,443 --> 00:02:01,924
He covets the Imperial Capital and aspires to seize the crown prince's position.
32
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,076
Do you have any evidence?
33
00:02:05,076 --> 00:02:10,304
I have the letters between Gu Yanxi and the traitors.

[Gu Yanxi]
35
00:02:33,300 --> 00:02:35,643
Who is behind the private coinage case?
36
00:02:35,643 --> 00:02:38,723
The son of Prince Ling, Gu Yanxi.
37
00:02:38,723 --> 00:02:40,223
Beat him!
38
00:02:59,644 --> 00:03:01,580
I will ask you one more time.
39
00:03:01,580 --> 00:03:04,886
Who is the true mastermind of the private coinage case?
40
00:03:04,886 --> 00:03:08,843
The son of Prince Ling, Gu Yanxi!
41
00:03:08,843 --> 00:03:11,770
Very well. Go on, don't stop.
42
00:03:11,770 --> 00:03:14,380
The night is still young.
43
00:03:26,884 --> 00:03:30,020
Miss, you went out for too long today.
44
00:03:30,020 --> 00:03:31,560
After we finish this, you get to bed early.
45
00:03:31,564 --> 00:03:33,524
Does this look good?
46
00:03:34,444 --> 00:03:38,744
Miss, Fourth Madam just mentioned that Old Madam seems to have known...
47
00:03:38,744 --> 00:03:40,563
Oldest Miss!
48
00:03:43,300 --> 00:03:47,167
Oldest Miss, Old Madam is waiting for you in the main hall.
49
00:03:53,140 --> 00:03:56,124
Old Madam, Oldest Miss is here.
50
00:04:00,380 --> 00:04:02,363
Greetings, Grandmother.
51
00:04:02,363 --> 00:04:04,444
Everyone, leave.
52
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,424
Kneel down.
53
00:04:17,460 --> 00:04:20,803
Where have you been? Who accompanied you?
54
00:04:20,803 --> 00:04:23,140
Old Zheng Street. I went alone.
55
00:04:23,140 --> 00:04:25,100
I went to the coppersmith and bought something.
56
00:04:25,103 --> 00:04:28,923
I am rather curious. What is so important?
57
00:04:28,923 --> 00:04:31,150
The Shen Family is coming tomorrow to finalize betrothal gifts, yet you sneaked out at dark to buy that thing.
58
00:04:31,150 --> 00:04:34,260
The Shen Family is coming tomorrow to finalize betrothal gifts, yet you sneaked out at dark to buy that thing.
59
00:04:34,264 --> 00:04:36,444
Show it to me.
60
00:04:43,260 --> 00:04:47,347
On Lunar New Year's Eve, you brought a crow into the house?
61
00:04:48,604 --> 00:04:50,404
Throw it away!
62
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:54,246
Yes.
63
00:04:54,246 --> 00:04:56,046
I'll do it.
64
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:06,543
Usually, I turn a blind eye to what you do.
65
00:05:06,543 --> 00:05:08,043
Your grandfather was the one to blame.
66
00:05:08,043 --> 00:05:10,210
Back when he was travelling around as an imperial censor,
67
00:05:10,210 --> 00:05:11,820
he insisted on having you by his side.
68
00:05:11,823 --> 00:05:15,263
You spent your childhood away from home, with no one to discipline you.
69
00:05:15,263 --> 00:05:17,540
Nowadays, you're turning more willful and reckless.
70
00:05:17,540 --> 00:05:19,980
Without telling your parents, you actually sneaked out.
71
00:05:19,984 --> 00:05:23,543
If something were to happen to you, it's not just you who would be affected.
72
00:05:23,543 --> 00:05:27,844
It's the reputation of your grandfather, father, and the Hua Family.
73
00:05:27,844 --> 00:05:31,724
Even the reputation of the Shen Family by tomorrow.
74
00:05:34,780 --> 00:05:38,304
Old Madam, don't get angry.
75
00:05:38,304 --> 00:05:41,683
Oldest Miss has always been like this. It's not like we only found out today.
76
00:05:41,683 --> 00:05:46,947
You lock yourself up all year long, doing weird crafts in the house.
77
00:05:47,964 --> 00:05:49,643
Apart from your grandfather,
78
00:05:49,643 --> 00:05:53,343
among the entire family, who do you even pay respect to?
79
00:05:53,343 --> 00:05:58,366
You often go to the library, but have you ever read the Lessons for Women?
80
00:05:58,366 --> 00:06:00,383
I have not.
81
00:06:01,700 --> 00:06:04,984
If the betrothal hadn't been changed, I'd have married off your sister instead.
82
00:06:04,984 --> 00:06:08,364
So the others wouldn't say we have failed to educate our girls.
83
00:06:10,100 --> 00:06:12,743
Sister-in-law, don't panic.
84
00:06:12,743 --> 00:06:17,183
Old Madam wasn't serious. Your daughter didn't cause any trouble.
85
00:06:17,183 --> 00:06:20,903
Even if she did, she'd still be married off with glory.
86
00:06:20,903 --> 00:06:23,544
The Shen Family is in no position to be picky about her.
87
00:06:23,544 --> 00:06:24,864
Look at yourself.
88
00:06:24,864 --> 00:06:29,683
Are you acting like a lady, or the daughter of an official?
89
00:06:29,683 --> 00:06:33,504
You're only interested in arithmetic and merchant business.
90
00:06:33,504 --> 00:06:36,527
I'm sorry. Please punish me, Grandmother.
91
00:06:41,363 --> 00:06:43,680
Go reflect your mistakes in the ancestral hall!
92
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:45,760
Copy the Lessons for Women a hundred times.
93
00:06:45,764 --> 00:06:47,683
I will.
94
00:06:50,620 --> 00:06:54,084
Old Madam, let me take you to get some rest.
95
00:06:54,084 --> 00:06:59,164
You all may go. I'll wait here for the lord to return.
96
00:07:07,180 --> 00:07:09,544
Get a brazier for that girl Zhi.
97
00:07:09,544 --> 00:07:11,104

It was not easy for me to get this. Luckily, I have you.

00:07:33,883 --> 00:07:36,142
Let me help you with it.
103
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:40,023
Silly Fourth Aunt, Grandmother won't check my homework.
104
00:07:40,023 --> 00:07:41,984
She always forgets about why I'm here.
105
00:07:41,984 --> 00:07:44,650
I don't mind her scolding me a few times.
106
00:07:44,650 --> 00:07:46,900
I'll be married within this year, right?
107
00:07:47,540 --> 00:07:50,544
How can you speak of marriage as if it's nothing special?
108
00:07:50,544 --> 00:07:54,483
Getting married or not, I will still be me. And the life goes on as usual.
109
00:07:54,483 --> 00:07:57,806
Look at this. Isn't it delicate?
110
00:07:58,820 --> 00:08:03,927
Zhi'er, you think of marriage too simply.
111
00:08:03,927 --> 00:08:05,903
Fourth Uncle.
112
00:08:05,903 --> 00:08:10,123
The most important thing about marriage is meeting the one destined for you.
113
00:08:10,123 --> 00:08:12,923
But in my opinion, worrying about it does no good.
114
00:08:12,923 --> 00:08:15,283
It all depends on God's will.

What are you doing here?
116
00:08:19,524 --> 00:08:22,664
As soon as I got back, I heard that Zhi'er was kneeling in the ancestral hall.
117
00:08:22,664 --> 00:08:24,184
The news spread fast.
118
00:08:24,184 --> 00:08:26,333

This is delicious. Come on, try one.

It's so cold at night. Let's go.
122
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:47,140
Let Zhi'er endure the punishment by herself.

Get him out.
124
00:09:16,140 --> 00:09:19,724
For Yanxi's handwriting, I taught him meticulously.
125
00:09:19,724 --> 00:09:23,944
Other than me, no one knows better about what his handwriting looks like.
126
00:09:23,944 --> 00:09:28,463
Nowadays, even Qi Ruhai is unwilling to tell me the truth.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

Why did you become distant with me?
133
00:09:57,783 --> 00:10:02,104
When you were a child, every time you saw me, you'd be hopping on over to me with joy.
134

Now you're kneeling so far away from me.

I've been guarding the empire for my uncle. This bit of hardship is nothing.

Yanxi, about the problems today, do you know where it came from?
142
00:10:29,864 --> 00:10:31,023
Uncle, please enlighten me.
143

Lord Xian and Lord Hui are no match for you.
144
00:10:34,463 --> 00:10:39,084
At the age of three, you were held in the arms of the late emperor and empress, cherished like a rare treasure.
145
00:10:39,084 --> 00:10:41,624
This is known to everyone in the court.
146
00:10:41,624 --> 00:10:47,964
Qi Ruhai attempted to frame you because he knew I have no choice but to doubt you.
147
00:10:51,420 --> 00:10:54,084
What are you doing, Yanxi?
148
00:10:56,324 --> 00:11:00,704
This blade was bestowed upon me by Your Majesty.
149
00:11:00,704 --> 00:11:04,204
I heard that one with a disfigured face cannot be appointed as a crown prince.
150
00:11:04,204 --> 00:11:10,044
Today, I am using this blade to fulfill your wish and to repay the favor of being raised with all my heart.
151

Yanxi, you don't need to do this.
152
00:11:18,423 --> 00:11:21,544
As your uncle, will I ever distrust you?
153

If you trust me, I trust you as well.
154
00:11:35,744 --> 00:11:37,864
I'm willing to leave the Northern Land
155

Baoxia, help her.
352
00:30:21,343 --> 00:30:24,363
Fudong, there are two carriages outside, go get one and load it up.
353
00:30:24,363 --> 00:30:26,583
Miqiu, go find some ropes and tie these up.
354
00:30:26,583 --> 00:30:29,346
Miss, what about the things in the attic?
355
00:30:29,346 --> 00:30:31,883
You worked hard making them.
356
00:30:31,883 --> 00:30:33,360
Leave those.
357
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,340
I'll go check on my mother and the others.
358
00:30:36,324 --> 00:30:38,224
Let's work.
359
00:30:44,823 --> 00:30:48,463
- Where's my mother?
- Miss Zhi, she won't let me in.
360
00:30:51,224 --> 00:30:52,203
Mother!
361
00:30:52,203 --> 00:30:54,387
- Mother!
- First Madam!
362
00:30:54,387 --> 00:30:56,623
What are you doing, Mother?
363
00:30:56,623 --> 00:30:58,963
Does it hurt?
364
00:30:58,963 --> 00:31:01,200
My husband has been taken away.
365
00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:05,524
How can I live alone?
366
00:31:05,524 --> 00:31:08,623
Rather than living in disgrace,
367
00:31:08,623 --> 00:31:11,783
it's better to die.
368
00:31:11,783 --> 00:31:13,583
My grandfather and father may not be subjected to execution.
369
00:31:13,583 --> 00:31:16,984
Even lowly creatures cling to life. How can you seek death?
370
00:31:16,984 --> 00:31:19,623
Don't try to placate me.
371
00:31:19,623 --> 00:31:23,144
You saw what happened just now.
372
00:31:23,144 --> 00:31:25,060
I've thought about it.
373
00:31:25,060 --> 00:31:29,984
In the best case, they'll be exiled, and the worst, a slow and torturous execution.
374
00:31:29,984 --> 00:31:35,023
Even if they survive, they won't be coming back.
375
00:31:35,023 --> 00:31:36,984
Back when everything was fine, how much time did my father spend at home?
376
00:31:36,984 --> 00:31:38,504
And how much time did he spend with you?
377
00:31:38,504 --> 00:31:42,023
From my childhood to this day, I've seen you and my aunties more often than I have seen him.
378
00:31:42,023 --> 00:31:45,569
In such a huge family, which woman isn't living by herself?
379
00:31:47,184 --> 00:31:49,823
My husband has been arrested,
380
00:31:49,823 --> 00:31:52,120
how can I live by myself?
381
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,777
Mother, if my father truly cared for you,
382
00:31:54,777 --> 00:31:57,103
how could he keep you ignorant of practical matters and ignorant of facts?
383
00:31:57,103 --> 00:32:00,384
Even a farmer's wife knows how to farm, but you can't even tie a piece of white silk.
384
00:32:00,384 --> 00:32:03,583
If he truly loved you, why did he take in Ms. Shen and Ms. Qiu?
385
00:32:03,583 --> 00:32:05,664
And my little sister Rong, how was she born?
386
00:32:05,664 --> 00:32:07,488
You are just a decoration of his career,
387
00:32:07,488 --> 00:32:10,423
used to perfect his reputation for being incorruptible.
388
00:32:16,683 --> 00:32:18,944
Chanlu, take good care of her.
389
00:32:18,944 --> 00:32:20,544
Yes.
390
00:32:24,324 --> 00:32:28,084
First Madam, it's all right now.
391
00:32:29,222 --> 00:32:32,286
[Resolute and Determined]
392
00:32:54,023 --> 00:32:57,424
Chanlu, take Bolin over there.
393
00:32:57,424 --> 00:32:59,024
Yes.
394
00:33:13,103 --> 00:33:15,003
First Sister-in-law,
395
00:33:16,041 --> 00:33:18,590
you really shouldn't have done that. Why don't you think of the children?
396
00:33:18,590 --> 00:33:21,840
Why don't you think of the children?
397
00:33:23,343 --> 00:33:28,144
As women, what do we live for?
398
00:33:28,144 --> 00:33:30,504
For the children, right?
399
00:33:30,504 --> 00:33:35,044
Bolin is so little, and Zhi has yet to be married.
400
00:33:35,044 --> 00:33:39,384
And Rong, she's considered your child too.
401
00:33:39,384 --> 00:33:44,363
If you died today, this life of yours would be in vain.
402
00:33:46,044 --> 00:33:48,224
Back then,
403
00:33:49,103 --> 00:33:53,683
when I married into the Hua Family, this marriage was below my status.
404
00:33:53,683 --> 00:33:57,023
What's the difference between the second master's temperament and marrying a stone or a piece of wood?
405
00:33:57,023 --> 00:34:01,744
What's the difference between the second master's temperament and marrying a stone or a piece of wood?
406
00:34:02,203 --> 00:34:06,764
But all these years, I've been enduring this bitter life.
407
00:34:06,764 --> 00:34:11,504
For what reason? Because ever since I had Boli,
408
00:34:11,504 --> 00:34:14,200
I have hope.
409
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:17,220
I desire nothing more.
410
00:34:22,144 --> 00:34:24,244
First Sister-in-law,
411
00:34:26,263 --> 00:34:29,723
your life is better than mine.
412
00:34:31,044 --> 00:34:33,844
Don't get confused.
413
00:34:33,844 --> 00:34:35,883
Did you hear me?
414
00:34:37,203 --> 00:34:42,203
Second Sister-in-law, I was confused.
415
00:34:50,744 --> 00:34:53,403
Pack everything properly.
416
00:34:54,844 --> 00:34:56,163
Where is First Sister?
417
00:34:56,163 --> 00:34:58,803
Why is she not here? She's the only one missing.
418
00:34:58,803 --> 00:35:02,044
Where's the other carriage? Why is there only one left? Where is it?
419
00:35:02,044 --> 00:35:04,804
I had Yingchun take it to the library to get the books.
420
00:35:04,804 --> 00:35:06,644
Why are we taking those waste paper?
421
00:35:06,644 --> 00:35:08,945
Where will we put our luggage then? Bring it back now.
422
00:35:08,945 --> 00:35:10,823
We still need to study.
423
00:35:10,823 --> 00:35:12,863
Not just us, but also the kids.
424
00:35:12,863 --> 00:35:17,247
Lands and houses are easy to acquire, but once we lose those books, it would be hard to get them back.
425
00:35:20,804 --> 00:35:23,623
We'll set off once the loading is finished.

00:35:44,743 --> 00:35:47,164
Old Madam, after you.
428
00:35:47,164 --> 00:35:48,923
It's them!
429
00:35:48,923 --> 00:35:50,723
What is going on?
430
00:35:55,643 --> 00:35:56,984
- They used to be so arrogant.
- Look.
431
00:35:56,984 --> 00:36:00,003
- Never thought they would end up like this.
- Exactly.
432
00:36:00,003 --> 00:36:04,364
Take a look. The women from such a wealthy family are really pretty.
433
00:36:04,364 --> 00:36:05,923
- Take a look.
- True.
434
00:36:05,923 --> 00:36:07,603
- Yeah. Look!
- Look at their sorrowful faces.
435
00:36:07,603 --> 00:36:09,563
Raise your heads!
436
00:36:09,563 --> 00:36:14,264
Don't act like bereaved dogs and attract people's ridicule.
437
00:36:14,864 --> 00:36:16,464
Let's go.
438
00:36:40,304 --> 00:36:44,223
Don't be afraid. We have each other.
439
00:36:45,218 --> 00:36:49,680
Save your tears. From now on, there'll be a lot of things you want to cry about.

Father is back.
444
00:37:22,703 --> 00:37:25,044
Father, what happened?
445
00:37:28,543 --> 00:37:32,523
Hurry, take down these red silk cloths! Take all of them down and burn them!
446
00:37:32,523 --> 00:37:36,744
All these things, put them in the storeroom! They must never be seen by anyone again.
447
00:37:36,744 --> 00:37:40,364

From now on, you're not allowed to speak a word of that family.

You all, go gather the servants
454
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,900
and tell them to keep Qi's betrothal a secret.

You go and check if the people who were following us left.
460
00:41:05,324 --> 00:41:09,023
I just did. The imperial guards turned back when we left the city.
461
00:41:09,023 --> 00:41:12,663
There were two inspectors from the Security Bureau following us from far away.
462
00:41:12,663 --> 00:41:15,743
But now I can't see them.
463
00:41:15,743 --> 00:41:17,918
They must not be far from us.
464
00:41:32,660 --> 00:41:35,884
Old Madam, what is this place?
465
00:41:35,884 --> 00:41:39,083
Many years ago, the Empress Dowager gifted this place to our family.
466
00:41:39,083 --> 00:41:42,623
I used to come here in the summer when I was young.
467
00:41:42,623 --> 00:41:44,930
So this is the Zihuang Residence.
468
00:41:44,930 --> 00:41:48,500
I heard you mention it a lot. None of our family has been here.
469
00:41:49,384 --> 00:41:53,363
I'm just not sure if there's enough space for all of us.

Well... Boli needs to study. He can't be disturbed.

He's going to need a quiet room.
472
00:41:58,724 --> 00:42:01,364
There's a small room in the back. It was my bedroom.
473
00:42:01,364 --> 00:42:04,404
And here is for having tea and relaxing.
474
00:42:04,404 --> 00:42:06,743
At least there is a tile to cover your head.
