Original subtitles

Mr. Zhang mentioned Mr. Liang before his death.

There are just a few records of Mr. Liang in the Ministry of Penalty.

And they are all about political affairs.

I've checked them more than once.

But I didn't find anything suspicious.

There are only the records in the Censorate

and Supreme Court to be checked.

Logically,

Mr. Liang's embezzlement of relief fund

was a serious case.

How could there be no record of it in Ministry of Penalty?

Perhaps because the case was important,

His Majesty asked my brother and the Censorate

to handle it directly.

Wait.

There should be coordination records in Supreme Court.

Yes.

If there is none,

it means the whole thing is fishy.

That's easy to solve.

We can ask Gu Mochou for help.

No.

I'm not sure about the situation.

I can't get Mochou involved in it.

Besides, Ning Ji is the vice minister of Supreme Court.

It's impossible to avoid him.

So I have to ask you to investigate it.

Me?

I don't think it's a good idea.

You know,

I'm just an idle prince.

If I were to investigate a big case

that happened five years ago,

people would either think

my uncle wants to handle someone,

or think

I'm having a hangover.

Fine.

Think about it carefully.

I need to go home now.

Wait, are you leaving yet? You just came.

You came to work late and left early.

I'm thinking about reporting

it to my uncle.

I'm worried about Ruofei.

Do you feel better now?

Go away.

It occurred to me

you should make things clear to Changle

disguised as Ye Xiachen.

We can't let her mess around again

You are the vice minister of Ministry of Penalty, not a housekeeper.

So you know nothing about women.

Fine. I want to ask you something.

Sit.

Listen.

Changle

still needs Ye Xiachen.

If I break up with her as Ye Xiachen,

she probably will

make more trouble.

That's why...

I was trying to ask something about Du Ruofei.

I have no knowledge about period pain.

I used to treat her as a spy.

Well, how impressive.

When I found I misunderstood her,

I immediately apologized to her.

But she didn't accept my apology.

What should I do?

Does she know that

you used to suspect her of being a spy?

I don't think she does.

Then you don't have to worry.

You are consumed by regret

and guilt.

In fact, she knows nothing about it.

You just need to overcome

your feelings of guilt,

and treat her better.

The point is what I should do.

Yeah. What should you do to treat her better?

It's a hard question.

Oh, who left this book on the floor?

How to Win a Woman's Heart.

Every man in the city has a copy of this book.

I'll give this one to you.

Don't talk like you no longer need it.

Changhao, you should know that

a mean man doesn't deserve to be loved.

Read the book carefully.

It will be useful when you have concubines.

Who told you I will have concubines?

So I didn't find this book

and give it to you before.

I won't read it.

I'm leaving.

I will find a chance

to make things clear to Changle.

I will help resolve the matter

about Supreme Court as well.

Say some sweet words to her

Give her some gifts.

Take her

to romantic places.

The two of you are already married.

And you didn't think about dating her until now?

You can leave.

How rare you are in love.

I believe you can do it.

Miss, how do you feel now?

Changhao applied a warmer to my stomach.

So I feel much better.

It's weird.

How did Mr. Xun know about the warmer?

Why are you back?

Aren't you supposed to be working?

Are you hungry?

I bought some of your favorite snacks.

Would you like to try it?

I'll put them on a plate.

Why did you suddenly come back?

I want to show my care.

He is still worried that I would spread his secret.

Does your stomach still hurt?

No, I feel much better.

Doctor Jia Si told me

sugar and ginger soup can relive the pain.

I'll make you some soup.

Thank you.

But Chun Ying already made me some.

You were not so attentive before.

Could it be that you were just

pretending to be a straight man?

Straight?

Confucius said we should be straightforward.

It's true I had doubts before.

So I…

Alright. Poor me.

All my efforts in the previous episodes are in vain.

But don't worry.

I won't threaten you with your secret.

What's going on

between you and Jiang Lanting is nothing serious.

I just hope that

you can find the person you love

and tell him your feelings.

I will be a witness of your love.

In that way, I can leave with peace of mind.

Between me and Jiang Lanting?

Leave? Where do you want to go?

I have some good advice for you.

You should tell him sincerely,

so that I can go back to take…

Please consider it.

I have something for you.

Well...

Miss.

Why is Mr. Xun acting even

weirder than Songquan?

I agree. I'm a little scared.

Can't you make some noise when walking?

Okay.

This is what you want.

What I want?

Oh, this is the hairpin I wanted.

Chun Ying, Chun Ying.

Help me put it on.

How is it? Isn't it beautiful?

So nice.

You have a better taste than straight guys.

Changle told me that

this is your favorite hairpin.

So I bought it for you.

It's beautiful.

It's a sunny day.

How about we go to enjoy the moonlight?

Now?

But it's not dark yet.

Let's wait for the nightfall then.

Don't you think

he is really weird?

Are you practicing meditation

or watching the moon?

I'm watching the moon.

Alright. I don't need your company.

Just go back to do your own business.

I know it's making you uncomfortable, and so do I.

How are you feeling uncomfortable? Let me help you.

There is nothing you can do.

There aren't any pads in this world.

It seems like Jiang Lanting's advice

didn't work at all.

It's so annoying I don't have pads.

I can't even walk with big steps.

I have to find a solution as soon as possible.

Mr. Ning.

What brings you here?

What can I do for you?

Mr. Zhang died in Ministry of Penalty.

I'm here under the order to check the details.

Mr. Xun is meeting a guest in the study.

Please wait a minute.

I'll get the interrogation records ready.

I see. Thank you.

I've checked it.

There aren't any records of Liang's case in Supreme Court.

This case is so suspicious.

This case must have something to do with my brother's death.

How should we handle Mr. Zhang's death?

Spread the news to lure our enemies out.

Okay.

Mr. Ning.

I suddenly have stomachache.

I guess my illness recurred.

I'll visit Mr. Xun another day.

What about these interrogation records?

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Miss.

Why are you buying these little things?

You can use them, too, in the future.

You will know when the time comes.

But we could go out only with the excuse

of buying gifts for Hengyu.

We've been shopping for two hours.

That's because I didn't find any good gift.

Let's try it later.

Fine.

The snacks in this store are good.

I want to have some snacks.

Miss.

Sir, I want some of these, please.

Okay.

Here.

Here is the money.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Mr. Ning.

What a small world, Mrs. Xun.

Well...

Here.

Thank you.

I didn't expect to see you again.

Neither did I.

Why isn't Mr. Xun with you?

He is in the Ministry of Penalty.

I went out to buy some snacks.

What a small world. We met again.

I agree.

This is where

we first met.

You helped me back then.

I haven't expressed my gratitude yet.

Are you free later?

Can I treat you to lunch?

Sure.

But it's on me.

No, my mother told me

I should return other's favor,

and shouldn't spend a man's money.

Chun Ying.

Help me bring this one

and this one back.

I'll go back myself later.

But Miss…

Please come back early,

or Madam will be worried.

Got it. Go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Fill the cup.

Come on.

Let me propose a toast to you.

Cheers.

This restaurant doesn't serve many dishes.

So, next time,

let me invite you to a better place.

You don't have to, Mrs. Xun.

I already consider it an honor

to get to know you.

Don't call me Mrs. Xun.

Just call me Ruofei.

Okay.

Mr. Xun is so lucky

to have married a beautiful,

and graceful girl like you.

How I wish he would think so.

Unfortunately, he is a fool.

How come?

Last time when I saw the two of you together,

you were a loving couple.

Perhaps. Eat.

Okay.

You are such a smart girl.

I guess you can help

Mr. Xun with his work in many ways.

That's for sure. Let me tell you something.

I have so many skills to display yet.

Can you tell me about it?

For example.

Months ago,

he was poisoned by unknown substance.

I helped him do a test.

I even tried the poison on myself,

and finally found that the medicine was poisonous.

The food here is very good.

Did you pack up the leftovers?

Yes, I did.

By then…

You were so brave, Mrs. Xun.

Of course.

I admire you so much.

Miss, isn't she…

Yes. She is Duo Ruofei.

The man sitting beside her…

There is no doubt he is her secret lover.

I knew this slut

would cheat on her husband.

Finally, I can take revenge.

Mrs. Xun.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Try this. It tastes wonderful.

It looks like I can know a lot from her.

Mother, bad news. Bad news!

Don't shout!

My heart pounds fast every time you shout.

My heart pounds fast every time you shout.

Mother.

I'm afraid our family

will be laughed at again.

Don't come so close.

I feel so embarrassed just looking at it.

So shocking?

I saw Du Ruofei

fooling around with a strange man

in a restaurant.

I was too angry to even look at her.

Is that true?

Definitely.

Mrs. Xun.

I had such a good time chatting with you.

Please allow me to invite

you and Mr. Xun to dinner another day.

Sure. We are free at any time.

I'll leave then.

Bye.

Miss, Miss.

What happened?

Miss.

Madam is looking for you.

Looking for me? Why?

I don't know.

But I don't think she has any good intentions.356

I agree. Go to find Changhao.

Yes.

You're looking for me?

Fine.

I can explain it.

I happened to run into

Mr. Ning Ji.

He helped me drive away some rascals before.

So I promised to treat him to a meal.

Since I met him today,

I invited him to drink.

That's all.

Mom, I was right.

She was drinking with a man.

Du Ruofei!

How dare you!

How dare you be so wanton?

I...

Well, Mother.

Although

we are in a feudal society,

there is no need for you

to make a big deal out of it.

I was just having lunch and chatting with him.

How could you say that

I'm wanton?

Say that again, I dare you.

Fine. I will repeat myself.

I said,

although

we are in a feudal society,

there is

no need for you

to make a big deal out of it.

I was just having lunch

and chatting with him.

How could you say that

I'm wanton?

Why can't we say that?

I saw it.

You were chatting happily with that man.

Shouldn't I be happy while eating?

I always open my mouth wide

when I laugh.

Sorry about that.

Du Ruofei!

You had lunch and chatted with a strange man.

Is that what you should do as my daughter-in-law?

Yeah.

You shut up.
