Zhen.

Lord Zhao

is someone worthy of lifelong commitment.

You should cherish this opportunity.

Don't act pretentiously in the future.

Don't defy your husband.

Is marrying him

the only way I can repay my family?

Everything I did and tried before

was never appreciated.

In your eyes,

the only way out for me

is to marry Lord Zhao, right?

Yes.

Only this way.

Zhen.

Where are you going?

Coming.

Coming, coming.

Miss He.

After these months,

you've lost lots of weight.

I left abruptly that day

and didn't leave a note.

Will you blame me?

I was wrong at first.

It's my fault for saying that

out of the bad mood.

Alright.

Let's call it even.

Never bring it up again.

Alright?

What kind of pattern is it?

It's so unique.

A golden lantern flower,

also called heartless grass.

Heartless?

While the leaves are still there,

the flower hasn't bloomed.

When the flower blooms,

the leaves have withered.

The flower and leaves never meet.

They are both indifferent

and heartless.

Madam,

why are you suddenly stitching this?

I find it interesting

in "Youyang Novels".

It says this flower

often blooms in the homes of villains.

Nanny Li, have you seen it?

I'm not a villain.

How could I have seen it?

What a sin.

What a sin.

Miss He?

Ms. Liu.

What's wrong with you today?

I...

I have a friend

whose brain was damaged

by a fever as a child.

She lost her memory.

She denied her real mom

but mistook the maid for her mother.

The maid took advantage of her ignorance

to gain benefits from the family.

I wanted to tell my friend the truth,

but everyone stopped me,

telling me not to meddle.

I feel distressed.

Miantang.

Do you understand how I feel?

How could it be?

Her real mother

is right there.

She won't let the maid harm her.

It's probably just to amuse your friend.

You're worrying too much.

The stitching is indeed too rough.

I'll just take it apart and redo it.

It has come to this.

Why are you still...

I'll take it apart

to escape

from the current situation

and start over.

I originally did it for fun.

But gradually,

it felt wrong.

Now,

I'll take it all apart

and sew a pattern that I like

and that is auspicious.

Miss He,

what do you think?

Good.

Don't stitch the grass.

Stitch what you like.

Aunt.

Drink this calming soup

and rest early.

Getting angry harms the spleen.

You still have to oversee the rites tomorrow.

I'm sorry.

It's also me who lacks the ability

to hold Xingzhou's heart.

This child

has always been determined.

Once he makes a decision,

even I, his mother,

cannot stop him.

Among all virtues,

filial piety comes first.

Common people lose their reputations

for not being filial.

And officials

lose their positions.

Let alone a lord.

So many eyes in the court

are watching Xingzhou.

You cannot ignore this

and give others excuses.

Do you mean...?

I have a plan to make amends.

But...

Tell me.

Aunt.

Tomorrow, when you go to Liuming Temple

to oversee the rites,

I'll accompany you.

At that time,

with the people and officials
of Zhenzhou present,

you can publicly recognize me

as your daughter-in-law.

Thus,

this marriage will be known to everyone.

Everything's set.

Xingzhou won't be able to back out.

(Zhenzhou)

The certificate.

Go.

Go.

Go.

Go.

- Go.
- Let's go.

The Consort Dowager's procession has set off.

It's in vain.

The madam has arranged for a carriage.

It should also be heading
towards Liuming Temple.

She does like lively scenes.

What if they run into each other?

Huang Gui.

My Lord.

Tighten the city's defenses to prevent bandits

from mixing in.

Rest assured.

Aside from the Taoist priests,

no one else came in.

Where's the roster?

It's quite tricky.

What's tricky?

The level of realism in the fake certificates

is quite sophisticated.

But they don't know

that Liuming Temple,
as a major Taoist institution,

altered the characters on the prayer scroll

to advise Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty.

(Liuming Temple)
"Liu" is shortened,

and "Ming" is slightly elongated.

It symbolizes less transience

and more clarity.

Emperor Wen was enlightened

and rewarded Liuming Temple.

This practice has been passed down since then.

I've been negligent.

Moru.

Prepare the regular clothes. Let's go.

Yes.

Has the madam arrived?

Not yet.

When did she set off?

She left early this morning.

Order the guards to protect

the Consort Dowager.

Yes.

Nanny Li.

Stop the carriage at the street entrance.

Aren't we going to Liuming Temple?

Didn't you say

Liuming Temple would be crowded today,

smoky,

with ruffians and thieves?

Yes.

Let's follow your suggestion

and not go today.

That's great.

When we reach the street market ahead,

Nanny, buy a bass for me.

I'll go to get some tonic medicine
for my husband.

Madam,

isn't it better if we stay together?

There are so many people today.

If anything happens,

it will be hard to explain to the master.

If we get to the fresh fish market late,

the remaining fish won't be fresh.

I'll wait for you at the pharmacy.

What could happen?

Just come find me as soon as you're done.

Alright, alright.

Sir,

check if you have these.

Sure.

Do you have fine antlers?

Yes.

It looks like business is booming today.

Please get all these tonic prescriptions ready.

I won't delay your big sale.

You're right.

Please wait a moment.

We have everything you need.

Madam, I'll prepare
the medicine for you right away.

Please wait a moment.

- Sister.
- Sister.

Lu Zhong, Lu Yi.

Sister, Uncle Qiao has told us everything.

How do you want

Lord Huaiyang to die?

If we hadn't changed the location today,

I would've killed him

in Liuming Temple.

The time isn't right.

We must be cautious.

Avoid the dangerous wall.

On the Shangsi Festival,

where were you that night

when I went missing?

That night,

Lu Yi and I discovered a group of ambushers.

We managed to drive them off.

We returned and found out

you were missing.

I tried to ask Mr. Ziyu,

but Sun Yun'er stopped me.

She told me you had decided to leave
and wouldn't return.

Ghosts are more reliable than her.

Later, Mount Yang became hers.

There was no place for us.

We had to go to Beizhou to find Uncle Qiao

and search for you.

If you want to avenge,

listen carefully to what I say.

Master.

Where is Madam?

Madam and Nanny Li left early this morning.

If I couldn't stand it,

I would speak out.

The medicine he sold

to Butcher Li's wife

was mostly common herbs,

except for one or two,

but he charged her double.

If he dares to cheat me,

I'll make sure Butcher Li knows about it.

Butcher Li

is a tough character,

a bully in the market.

If Madam truly wants

to tell him,

it's enough to make

the shopkeeper suffer.

What a sin.

Honey, why are you back?

Honey.

What happened?

The Lord asked me to take half a day off,

so I came back to check.

Yesterday, you mentioned Liuming Temple.

I thought you had gone there.

I was going to,

but Nanny Li kept saying

it was too crowded

and might lead to trouble.

I thought it made sense,

so I changed direction to the market.

On the battlefield,

you risked your life.

You must be exhausted.

You need to recuperate.

I bought a bass

that was just caught today.

It's very fresh.

How considerate of you.

Praying for the deceased soldiers

shows compassion.

Taking care of the living

is also important.

Dear, I'll speak frankly.

A villain has entered Zhenzhou.

Have you seen any

suspicious men?

Suspicious men?

Why would they come to me?

Did you see anyone

dressed as a Taoist priest?

Why would a Taoist priest not be
in the temple chanting

and wander around instead?

Dear.

This matter is very important.

Think carefully.

Honey.

Sounds like you're interrogating me.

I'm not interrogating you.

You returned in such a panic

only to check if I was being unruly.

Nonsense.

Just chatting.

When you lie,

you always avoid my eyes.

Dear.

It's really just chatting.

I was afraid of the villain,

so I came back to check on you.

What?

Honey,

are you afraid I'll be taken by them?

Don't worry.

Our family is now

under Lord Huaiyang's protection.

What villain would dare act?

That would be ignoring Lord Huaiyang.

You're right, dear.

Master.

Lord Huaiyang sent word

that the rites had ended

and he had already left.

He wants you to visit him.

Then you should go quickly.

Don't keep the Lord waiting.

If we lose

the Lord's protection,

and villains come again,

you might really lose me.

Alright, dear.

I'll go now.

Mother.

Two villains disguised as Taoists

and broke into Zhenzhou today.

I went to investigate,

which delayed the blessing time.

I hope you'll forgive me.

Sit down.

Yes.

This is peony stamens.

Binglan

saw I looked unwell

and brought it to me.

Today,

I was alone in charge

at Liuming Temple.

With the sudden villain trouble,

my frail body

could hardly endure it.

Fortunately, Binglan helped me,

so I didn't

lose the family's face

in front of the people.

She helped me

and also helped you.

You must remember this favor.

Today,

I planned to recognize Binglan as your fiancee

and have you reconcile with her.

What do you think?

It seems you're still thinking

about that mistress.

Mother, I've said it before.

She is not a mistress.

I don't need to know who she is.

Binglan has already stepped back.

She said

if you truly favor

that Liu woman,

she will give her face

and support you properly.

What more do you want her to do?

You're a lord.

You knew villains in the temple,

yet you were absent from your mother
and the people.

You ran off to a place
of leisure on North Street.

Isn't that absurd?

I can

overlook all this.

But you must promise me today

to marry Binglan.

Mother.

For today's matter,

it is true that I was at fault.

There are other reasons behind this.

I will explain it to you later.

As for the engagement,

please forgive me.

I will only marry Liu Miantang.

What are you saying?

I, Cui Xingzhou,

will only marry Liu Miantang in this life.

You scoundrel!

Scoundrel!

Scoundrel!

Scoundrel!

Madam.

Honey.

I came to fetch your changed clothes.

Why are you injured?

It's nothing.

Let me apply medicine.

Does it hurt a lot?

Yes.

This person is rough.

But don't worry.

It wasn't the villain who hurt me.

The Lord

punished me.

How can the Lord treat his soldiers so harshly?

Perhaps he is in a bad mood.

I heard he fell out

with the Consort Dowager.

The Consort Dowager

matched him with a well-suited marriage,

but the Lord's heart

belongs to another woman.

It's chilly today.

A warm soak is good for your health.

Honey,

the villain you mentioned earlier.

Was he a remnant of Mount Yang?

Why do you suddenly ask about this?

I'm just curious.

After all,

I once fell into their hands.

I heard from the neighbors

that the leader of Mount Yang
had surrendered to the court.

So, they are

no longer Zhenzhou's enemies.

Mount Yang no longer causes chaos.

Those unwilling to surrender

have scattered.

Why do you keep mentioning Mount Yang?

Zhenzhou is not lacking.

It takes vigilance to stave off evil.

The Lord has won against them many times.

Many times?

How many times?

Honey,

who do you think

is stronger, Lord Huaiyang

or the Mount Yang leader?

It's hard to say

who is stronger between them.

On the Shangsi Festival,

at the ritual, the lighting

should've brought a truce.

But the Mount Yang leader

attacked Lord Huaiyang.

The leader attacked?

Yes.

The Lord didn't expect

that the leader, who always kept his promises,

would break his word

and attack him while the soldiers

were resting.

The Lord was furious

and tried every means to defeat him

and heavily harm Mount Yang,

but the leader then vanished.

The Lord tried to capture him,

wanting not only to defeat him

but also to ask him in person

why he broke the agreement.

Later,

Mount Yang surrendered,

and the Lord

completely lost the chance

to settle things with him.

Honey.

I want to go to Mount Yang.

Why?

I want to clear the demons in my heart.

Do you remember anything?

At the Shangsi night years ago,

I had not yet

married you.

My family was

on Ling Mountain outside Xizhou City,

viewing the scenery

and making wishes through sky lanterns.

The open terrain here

would make the sky lanterns

look very beautiful.

Indeed.

On Shangsi night,

sky lanterns

accompanied by the blooming mountain flowers

are quite magnificent.

Did Lord Huaiyang tell you this as well?

With the sky lanterns in the air,

if the villain attacked,

he would be easily spotted.

How could there be an ambush?

Lord Huaiyang is so smart.

Could he be lying to you?

Along the way,

we walked through a section
of collapsed mountain road.

Do you remember?

It used to be

the only way up the mountain.

On Shangsi night,

Lord Huaiyang

camped right there.

The soldiers were making wine,

temporarily letting down their guard.

That day,

they had agreed to a ceasefire.

But with the sky lanterns,

the soldiers waited

for a horde of fierce Mount Yang bandits

to break into their camp.

It seems

Lord Huaiyang wasn't lying.

In fact, he's not good at lying.

Miantang.

Since returning to Zhenzhou,

I've been uneasy.

I always feel like I'm going to lose you.

Haven't I always been by your side?

I know.

That's why I plan

to tell you everything.

Everything?

What do you mean?

Master!

Master!

What's wrong?

Master, Madam.

The army

says you need to return.

Tomorrow is the Little New Year.

Remember to go home.

I thought I could rest.

Work is important.

You have two letters.

One is from the capital.

The other is from Beizhou.

Anything else?

Your mother is ill.

They want you to return quickly.

Miss.

The hidden agents at Mount Yang

found Liu Miantang and Lord Huaiyang.

What was she doing at Mount Yang?

It seems she was just climbing the mountain.

But the agent found

that Liu Miantang left this behind.

Miss.

Is this a Mount Yang mark?

I don't quite understand it.

This mark isn't for you and me.

You wouldn't understand.

In five days,

at noon,

at Youyu Cave?

I'm going to Mount Yang.

The firewood is damp

and won't catch fire.

It's just a spring rain.

It went afar to avoid it

but still got soaked.

How useless.

Do you remember when you were young,

you and your cousin, Qingying,

used to argue?

Even at a young age,

you learned from the opera

to sever the ties,

but when she was

bullied on the road,

you were the first to step in.

Your grandfather used to say

you appear

tough on the outside,

but you're softer

than anyone inside.

I said

I came here to rid myself of the mental demons.

Your demons

are also mine.

Yes.

I once

wanted to reclaim everything from before

because it concerned us.

Honey,

we've weathered so many storms together.

Perhaps what we have now

is even better than the years we lost.

What I want to say

might surprise you.

If you intend to say anything
that breaks this happiness,

then I don't want to hear it.

A couple

always has secrets, doesn't it?

If you truly feel regret,

then keep deceiving me for a lifetime.

Don't hide half of it

and then falter, revealing it.

You would feel better,

but I, as a woman,

would have to bear

this burden.

Is that truly how you feel?

Yes.

So don't tell me.

I beg you.

Honey.

I haven't said thank you to you yet.

No matter what,

without you,

I might have been gone
from this world long ago.

From now on,

if Mount Yang is mentioned,

this is the only thing I will remember.

If you recall

everything later,

you can always

do what you think

is right.

Soft-hearted?

I admit.

I did

have a slimmer of hope.

I thought

perhaps he was also used

by Lord Huaiyang.

Maybe he had no choice.

Only in this way

could I justify

my soft-heartedness.

If you...

Anyway, he's going to marry you.

Marry me?

What he wants to marry is not me,

but the canary he has raised.

The woman who only

has eyes for him.

It's just his delusion.

The deeper his feelings,

the more ironic and ridiculous it seems.

I've played this self-deceiving role enough.

So I won't be soft-hearted anymore.

Mother, you're awake.

Wake up for what?

I might as well sleep it off,

so everyone could get peace.

My Lord, Consort Dowager.

Time for the medicine.

My Lord.

You haven't slept all night.

You should rest early.

It's fine. Leave.

If you really can't let her go,

I can step back

and let her become a concubine.

Is she so good

that you'd throw away the reputation

of the entire family?

How many concubines did Father have?

Ten?

Twenty?

How many mistresses

are unknown to us?

What?

Are you using

your father as a shield?

He made a fuss.

Do you want to follow his example?

Mother,

the life here is rich and luxurious,

but it's full of scheming

and indifference.

I know you haven't had

an easy time these years.

I haven't, either.

I always thought

that if I restrained myself

and didn't indulge in love,

even if it's just to respect each other,

I wouldn't let

my wife and child suffer.

Mother.

For her,

I pretended to be an ordinary commoner

in a small household

struggling for a living,

burdened with countless trivial worries.

But she didn't seem to feel troubled.

She lived freely and unrestrained.

All she wished for us

was to be united as a couple

for a lifetime.

Only then did I realize

how terribly wrong I was.

Happiness and joy

must be earned with a true heart.

But I let her down

and overestimated myself.

Mother,

please forgive my unfiliality.

I don't want any more

mutual respect

or noble concubines.

With all the marital rites,

in this life,

she's the only one I want.

(Lu Wen left the capital, went west,
and didn't step into Zhenzhou.)

(Not Lu Wen.)

(Bai's Pharmacy)

Madam, why are you buying these medicines?

Wasn't my husband injured a few days ago?

It's all bruised.

It's nothing.

We still have plenty of fine medicines
from Physician Zhao.

These are remedies from Mrs. Yin.

You wouldn't know.

Madam.

What's wrong?

There's one more thing I need.

Master.

Where is Madam?

She went to the market with Nanny Li.

Should I go find her?

Knowing your return,

Madam will be pleased.

Hurry and go.

Yes.

Forgive me.

Please clarify this.

Madam, you're back.

Why are you standing here?

Where's my husband?

He didn't sleep all night,

so he took leave from the deputy.

He's resting now.

Then I'll go see him.

Honey.

Dear.

I thought

you were already asleep.

I did lie down,

but I couldn't fall asleep.

I might as well read a book.

What book are you reading?

A good strategist

would take the initiative.

Void and Actuality.

The Art of War?

Since you joined the army,

you've changed a lot.

You read military strategy

as if it were light reading.

I found it casually

and just skimmed through.

It's the Little New Year,
yet you had to take leave.

The army is really unreasonable.

Others

don't have the privilege I have

to return home at night

and have dinner with their wife.

Alright.

Are you going to keep lying down

or come with me to the kitchen?

I'm going to cook today.

I'm indeed a bit tired.

Sure.

I'll wake you up later.

Okay.

Dear,

is there crab roe rice?

What are you thinking?

At this time of year,

there's no crab roe.

True.
