(Episode 27)

Yu'e,

let's go.

We talked to the Zhou family

about taking you back.

Yu'e,

come back with us.

No, I won't leave.

I'm nothing

if I leave.

If I take good care of him,

he'll get better.

When we have a child,

I'll be Mrs. Zhou.

I want to stay here.

I want to be Mrs. Zhou.

Yu'e.

Let's go.

Yanbang,

although you beat me up so badly before,

I won't go anywhere from now on.

I'll be your wife

and take good care of you

so you can live happily.

(Jiang's Residence)

You've brought so many gifts.

That's very kind of you.

We're all looking forward to

having Ruoyao marry into our family.

Yao hasn't dressed up yet?

Perhaps she is embarrassed.

There's no rush.

Yao, greet Mrs. Qi.

Greetings, Mrs. Qi.

Third Lady Jiang.

I heard that Marchioness Ningyuan came to your residence yesterday.

Did Ruoyao get frightened?

She did suffer a bit.

A woman of her age

can't avoid being thought of.

It's always the engagement that gives you peace of mind.

Let's hurry up with the marriage plan between our families.

You're right.

I got someone to check the date.

It's an auspicious day in three days.

Let's set the date on that day.

There's no need to be so hasty.

Let's do as you said.

Leave a list of guests for us.

Let me see if there's anyone left out.

Look, the list has already been prepared.

(Name List) The marriage between our families

must be a grand wedding.

Yes.

For everyone in the capital to witness.

Ruoyao, don't you think so?

There's no need to be so extravagant.

Yao.

Mrs. Qi, we'd be grateful if you could deliver the invitations quickly.

Yes.

There's a lot

of work to be done inside and out.

Jiang Ruoyao, think carefully

about who you really are.

I think we should get back to work on it.

We'll get going now.

Mrs. Qi, please wait.

I don't agree

to this marriage.

If you didn't want to get married with Mr. Qi, you should have told me earlier.

Why did you reject the Qi family's offer of marriage

to their face, disgracing them?

Your mother worked so hard

to arrange all these things for you.

You're embarrassing her.

If it's embarrassing for Mother, isn't it embarrassing for me?

You...

If only Mother had listened to me,

why would this have happened?

Listen, she's blaming me for this.

Since you and Zhou Yanbang broke off the engagement,

I've looked all over

for this marriage.

I think Mr. Qi is as good as Zhou Yanbang.

Why did you...

You... Are you unhappy with him?

I am not unhappy with him.

Then, why did you do that?

I'm unhappy

with Mother.

What did you say?

Mother, I know you've done a lot for me.

Ever since I was a kid,

have you ever thought about

whether or not I'd want to do any of the things you've arranged?

When I was eight,

Father wanted to take me on a trip.

You said it's not a good idea for a girl to be seen in public too early.

When I was ten, you forced me to practice the zither,

and even when my fingers bled and scabbed over, you wouldn't let me rest.

When I was twelve,

you forced me to take medicine.

When I refused, you made Ms. Sun force me to swallow it.

You didn't even ask me if I wanted it when you had me replaced Jiang Li

in the engagement.

And you're still in love with him.

Yes.

Although it's a choice you forced me to make,

I like him, and I don't blame you.

But I've paid enough for it.

So from now on,

I'm going to do what I want.

Please don't intervene in my marriage, Mother.

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?

You insisted on marrying Zhou Yanbang

and now you're blaming me for everything.

Are you out of your mind?

I'm not out of my mind.

I was infatuated with Zhou Yanbang.

Even though I realised he was not loyal and kind,

I was still infatuated with him.

But now I understand.

I wasn't really infatuated with him.

I just wanted

a chance to escape from the Jiang family.

I wanted to escape from you,

even if I had to use my marriage.

Mother, I knew nothing before,

and now I know everything.

You're the reason

I've become like this.

You...

You...

My dear, look at her.

Ruoyao, you...

Enough.

It's not like it's a big deal.

I was just like her when I was young.

I chose to marry Old Master myself

after I broke the engagement

my parents

had made for me.

And it worked out just fine.

I've always

thought that Ruoyao didn't have any ideas

and could only listen to you, Ji Shuran,

but I didn't expect that she'd have her own ideas by now.

Good.

Why don't we just listen to her

and let her make her own choice?

But the Qi family...

Mr. Qi is a man.

What?

Is he so aggrieved that he wants to mess with us?

Old Madam.

My dear.

My dear, if Ruoyao wants to take the matter into her own hands,

arrange it yourself, then.

That way you'll have some peace and quiet, too.

Just let her be.

Come on, sit down.

Sit down.

Sit down.

It's Jiang Li, isn't it?

Did she teach you to say that?

No one taught me anything.

Those are just the words I've wanted to say for years,

but haven't dared.

All these years

in this family,

I am the only one who cares about you.

You've been abetted by Jiang Li, do you know that?

She said all those things to confuse you.

She's doing it for her own benefit.

She's trying to hurt you.

Jiang Li has never tried to hurt me.

That day, from the beginning to the end,

she never mentioned that I eloped with Zhou Yanbang.

It's you

who's been trying to make her identify me.

What do you know?

If she dared to accuse you,

it would prove she's slandering you,

and she wouldn't be able to get away with it easily.

What about me?

What about my reputation

and my feelings?

All you want to do is to ruin Jiang Li.

Have you thought about me?

You're always saying other people are trying to hurt me,

but in fact, you just don't want me to trust anyone else,

and I'll do what you want.

Madam Ji.

Do you know how much I've worked

for you?

You mean

you've been trying

to get rid of Jiang Li and Jiang Yue for me?

What do you mean?

I don't mean anything.

I just want you to know

I don't need you to do this for me.

I, Jiang Ruoyao,

don't have to step on other people's corpses

to get to the top.

Besides, if I have to step

on other people's corpses to get to the top,

then I'd rather not get there.

I'm going to tell Father

that I'm going away on a study trip

and I don't want to get married.

Madam Ji, don't.

Third Lady, apologize to your mother now

and she will forgive you.

I won't.

From today,

she's not allowed to see anyone.

Well...

Are you still upset about Ruoyao?

It's fine that Ruoyao's engagement with the Qi family has been broken off.

They're not a respectable family either.

Afterwards,

I'll ask His Majesty

to find another good match for Ruoyao.

I'm not upset about the marriage, but Ruoyao.

She's been confused by Jiang Li.

She's a different person now.

I can't control her anymore.

How dare Jiang Li lay hands on Ruoyao?

If this goes on,

it'll be hard to deal with her.

I must get rid of her this time.

Back then, I remember you took her out

of Court of Judicial Review's prison yourself.

I thought she'd have some gratitude for you.

But now, it seems

I was wrong.

I don't regret saving her.

After all, I didn't want to make things difficult for Jiang Yuanbai.

Do you have a plan that will work?

Why are you involved with Eldest Princess?

Why would she come to you?

You mustn't be used by her.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

She wants Jiang Li dead more than I do.

Looks like you've made up your mind.

Don't worry.

I'll definitely get rid of her this time.

(Jiang's Residence)

Second Lady,

I got a letter from home.

There's news about Miss Haitang

you asked me to find.

Sit down first.

Okay.

Miss Haitang you're looking for is from the rice shop in the village.

She worked as a maid for a lady in an official family

and left for many years.

Not long ago, there appeared a woman in the village.

But she has a long cut

on her cheek,

and the flesh is all exposed,

it's horrible.

I'm not sure if she's the one you're looking for.

Does anyone else know about what I asked you to do?

Don't worry, Second Lady.

I've already told

my sister-in-law as you instructed me

and the woman's not alerted.

I'll get a hot pot of tea.

Okay.

Lady Xue.

Haitang.

Why are you here?

I'll take you out.

What did they do to you?

Shen's Residence is a hell.

I'm going to get you out of here.

Leave me alone.

Find a way to send a message to Xue Zhao

so he will come and save me.

Lady Xue.

Go now.

Don't fight them.

Wait Young Master to get here.

Don't worry.

Go now.

But she has a long cut

on her cheek.

I wonder what happened to her.

When in need,

blow this whistle

and my men will appear to protect you.

It doesn't seem to be working.

Second Lady, what do you want me to do?

Come here.

Put it this way. Put it on the ground.

One pot over here,

one pot over here. Do you understand?

Aren't you the gardener?

What's your name?

My name is Zhao Ke.

Zhao Ke?

How long have you been at Jiang's Residence?

Since your master

has told me of your existence,

he must have expected me to ask you this question.

Just tell me.

I assure you he will not chastise you for it.

I came here seven years ago.

Seven years ago?

It seems every move I make

in this compound

is in his sights.

Do you have any instructions?

I want you to find out

where Ji Shuran went

and who she met.

Yes.

Besides,

I want you to take someone back to the capital for me.

But my master only asked me to keep you safe.

The person I asked you to find

is a threat to my safety

if she falls into someone else's hands.

I got it.

You mean

you've been trying

to get rid of Jiang Li and Jiang Yue for me?

Ji Shuran,

I've told you before

that you won't get a good ending.

It's only a matter of time

before my Li reveals all the misdeeds

you've done.

I can help you get rid of Jiang Li,

it's all up to you.

Madam Ji,

the carriage and gifts are ready.

Madam Ji,

you don't have to force it

if it's difficult.

If the choice

has been made,

we must go all the way to the end.

(Ji's Residence)

You want to see me

now that you've messed up the marriage with the Qi family?

I'm about to retire,

and I want Qi Wenbin to fill my post.

A marriage between the two families

will bring benefits and no harm.

But now,

the marriage is broken off, and we've offended the Qi family.

You've ruined such a good plan.

Father, you still can't change

your habit of finding fault in others.

I like to find fault?

You're the one who's caused me the most trouble in the Ji family.

You chose

to elope with that poor painter

instead of going down the path of riches that I arranged for you.

If I hadn't brought you back,

how could you be who you are today?

You're not thankful,

and you dare to doubt me?

If you come near my daughter again,

I'll let you die without a grave.

It's all my fault.

Please spare his life.

Remember what happens to him.

If you ever disobey me again,

I'll ruin

any man you love.

If I didn't do that,

how could you have become the Grand Chancellor's wife now?

Father, have you forgotten

how I became the Grand Chancellor's wife?

At that time,

you were going to sell me to a silly man.

You told me

to be patient,

to marry a fool,

and in a few years, I would control Marquis's Residence,

after having a child.

Then, I'll enjoy all the riches and honor.

You said it was better than

marrying a painter with nothing.

I begged you on my knees and told you I wouldn't marry him.

You said you wanted me to marry him

unless I found someone better.

Didn't you find someone better?

Shuran,

it's been hard on you.

You have to come here every day to keep me who's sickly company.

We're like sisters.

I'll stay with you

until you're better.

I'll be going.

I'll come back tomorrow to see you.

Grand Chancellor Jiang, don't worry.

Mrs. Jiang is getting better.

You don't agree with the marriage I've arranged for you

and you can't marry into the Jiang family,

so what else can you do?

Zhenzhen is getting better now.

It's not something I could have predicted.

Illnesses tend to flare up again.

If you make her condition worse,

you can marry into the Jiang family.

How can I do that?

Now you have two choices.

Either you marry that silly man,

or you do something

to become Jiang Yuanbai's wife.

I think you know how to choose.

It's you who turned me

into what I am today step by step.

Father, I should be thanking you

for making me inherit your viciousness,

for making me always want to harm others when something happens,

and ultimately for putting me against enemies on all sides.

Your problem

is that you are not vicious

and cruel enough.

I thought you'd improved by killing

Jiang Yuanbai's wife.

But when I told you to kill Aunt Hu,

you said it's fine.

When I told you to kill Jiang Li,

you said she couldn't make a fuss.

Now that they've started to mess with you,

are you feeling good?

You're right.

I'm not viscous enough.

So now that I've figured it out

I should have been more vicious.

Why should I have to suffer all the consequences?

What do you mean?

Father,

doesn't this tea

make you feel sleepy?

Father,

it's the finest tea,

please try it.

You... What are you trying to do?

Liu Wencai is back.

He's back to help you teach me to be cruel.

What?

He said

he could help me get rid of Jiang Li.

(Moral Excellence) But

he wants me to help him

take his revenge first.

Your father nearly beat me to death

and broke my fingers

so I could never hold a brush.

Now I want him to break an arm

and kowtow to me in person to apologise

for what he did.

What?

Break an arm?

Is that why you came back for me?

Didn't you say I wasn't cruel enough?

Now I can be cruel.

All it takes is one of your arms

and a kowtow.

Who is he

to make me break my arm

and kowtow?

Is he worthy?

Yes, he is.

He is now Imperial Diviner from Office of Imperial Diviner.

He's just an eighth-rank Imperial Diviner.

Should I be afraid of him?

He's backed by Princess Wanning.

Not to mention that Imperial Diviner is in charge of royal divination.

It's not a high ranking position,

but he can enter Imperial Court.

So what?

My daughter is the most favoured concubine in the palace.

So you've survived this long

because of your two daughters.

How dare you think we're not cruel enough?

I'll show you how cruel I am today.

I'll break your arm

and drag you to Liu Wencai's door.

Liu Wencai disappeared for so many years,

and now he's suddenly come to us

as Imperial Diviner.

Who knows what he's up to?

You can't be fooled by him.

I'm your father,

your own father who gave birth to you and raised you.

Shuran.

Shuran.

Shuran.

Shuran.

Listen to me.

Shuran.

When your mother passed away,

in order to raise you and your sister,

I didn't even think of marrying again,

lest you should suffer.

How can you break

your father's arm

just to deal with a girl?

My good daughter,

you can't be so confused.

Shuran.

Shuran.

Looks like I'm going to let you down again.

I still can't be as cruel as

you want me to be.

Guards.

Guards!

(Jiang Family Ancestral Temple)

We're almost there.

What a crazy woman.

Why are you keeping

all these things?

Give it to me.

Just throw it.

No.

Give it to me.

My Yue.

Give it back to me.

- Give it to me. - Give it to me now.

What do you need this for?

- Throw it. - Give it to me.

Don't touch these dead people's stuff.

What a bad luck.

- No. - Give it to me.

Don't steal my Yue.

You keep such dead people's stuff every day.

Is this how

you treat your madam?

Second Lady.

You still know the rules of Jiang's Residence?

Second Lady, you've got it wrong.

Aunt Hu was hysterical.

That's why I tried to stop her.

If I know you're treating your madam like this again,

I'll send you back to Jiang's Residence

and praise you in front of Old Madam.

Second Lady, please forgive me.

I know I was wrong.

Help your madam into the house.

Yes.

Aunt Hu.

Aunt Hu.

Aunt Hu, let's go.

My Yue.

My Yue.

Yue, don't be afraid.

Don't be afraid.

You've messed up our ancestral blessed land like this.

The monthly payment has been sent on time.

But you don't even put up a charcoal fire in the middle of winter,

and you don't even replace the broken window paper.

I should ask you for the accounts.

Yes, we have everything here.

But Aunt Hu doesn't feel cold,

which is why she doesn't need the charcoal.

I've brought some tonic for Aunt Hu.

Tong,

teach her how to serve her madam.

Yes.

Let's go.

Yue, don't be afraid.

Yue, don't be afraid.

Yue,

don't be afraid.

Aunt Hu,

they've left.

We can have a heart-to-heart chat.

My Yue feels cold.

She feels cold.

She feels cold.

Yue.

This is the only time I'm here.

Are you sure you want to keep pretending?

What did you come to see me for?

You're not here to catch up, are you?

I want to hear about the story of you and Yue.

What do you know?

By asking that,

It means there's something else

behind Yue's death.

If you're here to talk to me about this,

I have nothing to say.

I don't mean to disturb you.

Once you and my mother were good friends.

I remember you always hugged me when I was little,

and Yue was very kind to me.

That is why

I don't remember much of what happened

when I left Jiang's Residence for so long,

but I still feel very close to you when I see you.

Since you don't want to tell your story,

I'll tell you mine.

I was wronged as a child,

abandoned by my family

and sent to Qingcheng Mountain for ten years.

Qingcheng Mountain is colder than this place.

I'd been left alone for ten years,

I'd learned about people's cruelty

and I didn't see a ray of hope.

But I don't want to resign to my destiny.

If it's my destiny,

I'll go against it

because it's not my fault,

so I won't bow down.

Why should those who do evil

be exalted

and those who suffer be bowed down

and thank for not killing them?

That's why I had to come down from the mountain

and return to the capital

to appear in front of the people.

Aunt Hu,

you fake hysteria and survive.

But you've been suffering from the pain

of your daughter's death every day.

What's the difference between you living and dying now?

If you're as wronged as I am,

I hope you'll come forward.

I will help you

and I'm capable of helping you, too.

That's all I have to say.

I won't bother you anymore.

My Yue was killed.

My...

- My Yue was killed! - Be careful.

Second Lady,

Yue was killed!

She was killed!

Second Lady, please help Yue to redress the injustice!

(Office of Imperial Diviner)

I've been waiting for you for so long.

Why are you here alone?

What are you doing?

Don't you want my father to kneel down and apologise?

I'll kneel for him.

I think you've got it wrong.

I want him to break an arm

and kowtow to me and apologise.

I'll take it for him.

Do it.

What about your debt?

Have you forgotten the fire you set?

Do you mean you want me to give you my life?

You owe me

more than a life.

The Taoist priest said my nature is extremely yin,

if I follow him,

I'll achieve great things in the future.

He taught me how to exorcise evil spirits,

took care of me,

and provided me with food and drink.

I think this is probably Heaven's way of compensating me.

But I didn't expect

the greater torture to begin.

It's part of the practice.

If you can't take it,

you can get lost.

I've been through the pain of burning,

so this is nothing.

He said that other people's exorcisms

only drive away evil spirits from their bodies.

But his exorcism

is to transfer the evil spirits to me,

who has been reborn from fire,

and destroy them completely.

The more I am drenched in blood,

the more my flesh is smeared,

the more the nobles believe in us.

After all, no one

can hurt himself as much as me.

Hence, the nobles are willing to pay more for it.

As words spread,

we gained popularity in the capital

and even met Eldest Princess.

I like people like you who are willing to give it all.

There's a vacancy in Office of Imperial Diviner.

I can give this position to one person.

You guys talk it over.

I prefer the one who's ruthless.

Don't you want to die long ago?

Then, I'll send you to hell.

I'll pray for you every day from now on.

But since I've decided to live,

I won't die easily.

Under the support of Eldest Princess,

I have become Imperial Diviner.

Do you think your life could compensate

for what happened to me?

I had no choice.

I was already married

and had Ruoyao.

When my father found out about you,

I begged him

to let me see you one last time.

There's no need to bring up the past.

Let me think about how I can make you pay back some interest.

Do you know why I want to get rid of Jiang Li?

I don't want to know.

(Office of Imperial Diviner)

It wasn't an accident that Yue fell off

the false mountain.

From the day Ji married into the Jiang family,

I felt something was wrong with her.

It's so beautiful.

So this is Jiang Yue, First Lady Jiang.

She's so adorable.

Although she seemed gentle and generous,

she's good to Yue,

I just don't think

she's as simple as she seemed.

I wanted Yue to stay away from her,

but I didn't expect something to still happen.

Yue, let me play for a while.

No, I won't give it to you.

- I won't give it to you. - Let me play for a while.

(Little Jiang Ruoyao) Yue, let me play for a while.

(Jiang Yue) I won't let you play.

Yue, let me play for a while.

Stand up.

Don't cry.

If you want it, go get it yourself.

Give it to me.

My mother made this for me.

Don't cry.

I won't give it to you.

Ji Shuran asked Ms. Sun

to take Yue to the false mountain

to make it look like Yue had fallen from the false mountain

and lost her life,

trying to make it look like Ji Shuran had nothing to do with it.

My Yue

died at Ji Shuran's hands.

You weren't at the scene.

How did you find out?

My former maid's name was Baoqin.

That day, she was following Yue.

She went to the kitchen to get sweet soup for the kids.

When she came back, she heard

Ji Shuran ordering Ms. Sun to do something

so she came back and told me immediately.

Where's Baoqin?

She was made the scapegoat.

After Yue's death,

Ji Shuran kicked her out of Jiang's Residence

by saying that she hadn't taken care of Yue well,

and there was no trace of her ever again.

You knew about it then,

why didn't you testify against Ji Shuran?

Testify against her?

Second Lady, you've been back in Jiang's Residence for so long,

why would you ask me something like that?

You should know better than me

what the Jiang family is like.

Just like when you were sent to Zhennyu Hall,

didn't you defend yourself?

Didn't you testify against Ji Shuran?

Did anyone believe a word you said?

Ji Shuran said I was hysterical

because I lost Yue,

and that's why I accused her,

slandered her.

She's good,

she made herself innocent,

and had a reputation as a virtuous woman who pitied the weak and the poor.

And I

became the one who's unreasonable.

If Old Madam hadn't considered our bond

and defended me,

I'd have been sent to Zhennyu Hall.

Later, I obeyed Ji Shuran

and pretended to be hysterical.

The Jiangs couldn't keep me in the residence,

so they sent me here,

and I managed to survive.

And not a single person in the entire Jiang family suspected her?

She's Madam Ji,

Master Jiang's wife.

She's gentle, generous,

and virtuous.

Who would believe that she would kill

a concubine's daughter who didn't get in her way?

Even if someone found it strange,

the Ji family was flourishing at that time,

and there was a favored Consort Li to support the family,

who would offend the Ji family

for a dead person?

Second Lady,

you're in the Jiang family too.

You know better than I do

whether they value favors or profits.

Evil has its retribution.

I'll definitely seek justice for Yue.

Greetings, Mother.

If you're out in this rain,

you must be on an important errand.

I bet you're on an important errand, too.

Nothing's important to me.

It's all about you kids.

Sorry to have troubled you.

Mother,

you should mind

your own business when you have time.

As a mother,

the children's business comes first.

Li, go in quickly.

Don't let the wind and rain freeze you.

Mother,

please.

Madam Ji.

What's the matter?

A servant reported

that Jiang Li went to Aunt Hu's place.

The two of them talked for a long time with the door closed.

Aunt Hu didn't behave madly.

It seems she wants to settle old scores with me this time.

Aunt Hu

has been pretending to be crazy for so many years,

it's really hard for her.

Shall we put Aunt Hu...

Jiang Li has found her,

so she'll be watched.

A woman who killed her mother and brother,

a crazy aunt.

If they're involved,

they'll be the ones in deep trouble.

Third Lady,

time to get up and eat.

Madam Ji has prepared some calming soup for you.

Get up and have some.

Ms. Sun,

you...

Third Lady,

it's all for your own good.

When you wake up,

everything will be fine.

What have you done?

What have you done to me?

What have you done?

Say it!

Third Lady has gone mad!

Third Lady has gone mad!

It's all for your own good.

Third Lady.

Third Lady, I'm doing this for your own good.

What did the physician say?

Several physicians have examined her,

but they all say there's nothing wrong with her pulse,

and there's been no symptoms.

They couldn't tell us

why a healthy person

would suddenly be in such a state.

Master Jiang,

forgive me for speaking out of turn.

Third Lady looks like...

She looks like

someone who's been possessed by an evil spirit in my hometown.

Ms. Sun,

what nonsense are you talking about?

I brought up Third Lady.

She's in such a state now,

I wouldn't talk nonsense.

It's my own stupid idea,

but since ancient times,

many people

have died in this way for no reason.

Master Jiang,

let's get someone to check Third Lady.

But where can we find

such an expert in the capital?

Don't talk nonsense

about strange powers.

Ruoyao has no other symptoms.

Don't get a shaman here

and cause rumors to spread.

What about my Yao?

Possessed by an evil spirit?

Ruoyao's condition is strange.

It's good to try it.

Since you've decided it,

just listen to her.

I'm going to write a letter to Imperial Diviner now.

Mother, take good care of yourself.

You'd better stay home for a few days.

Don't worry.

Old Madam,

do you believe in what happens to Third Lady?

Strange powers are of heaven and earth.

I can't see it.

But if it's the doing of humans,

we'll figure it out eventually.

Tell Grand Chancellor Jiang

that I'll be there tomorrow.

Yes.

There's a ghost.

Jiang Li, there's a ghost.

There's a ghost.

What's wrong?

Where's the ghost?

You know what?

Something big has happened.

Jiang Ruoyao has been possessed by an evil spirit.

Imperial Diviner is invited

to exorcise it.

Imperial Diviner?

Imperial Diviner is very strange.

It's true what they say about royal family are merciless.

What's going on in Imperial Court these days?

There's been

a lot of deaths in the harem.

One day a maid dies,

the next day an eunuch.

It's all over the palace,

saying there's an evil spirit in the palace.

After that,

- Evil spirit. - Imperial Diviner's asked to exorcise.

Imperial Diviner said

the evil spirit possessed a consort.

His Majesty showed no mercy

and granted her poisoned liquor immediately.

Rumor has it that the poor consort

didn't even have a chance to defend herself

and was...

Do you think Imperial Diviner will catch the evil spirit

in our house?

Since he's here,

they won't return empty-handed.

They?

Do you really think Jiang Ruoyao is possessed?

I got it.

According to you,

Ji Shuran is too cruel.

She's using her own daughter.

Who else can be the evil spirit in the whole Jiang family

but you?

I'm ready to be the evil spirit this time.
