Mengfei Comes Across

Timing and subtitles brought to you by the Mischievous Concubine Team @ Viki

Miss, where are you going?

Mass grave.

Miss, I'm really very sorry.

The road ahead is too narrow. It's not easy to turn around.

Why don't you go there alone?

You are already very close to it.

It's true. It's really very near.

How much does it costs?

Never mind. I won't collect payment from you.

That woman in white stood in front of him with her face covered in blood.

She opened her mouth to talk to him.

Sir, can you not stop your carriage next to a ditch?

You almost caused me to fall. Haha!

Look at your cowardly faces.

What kind of ghost story is this? It's not funny at all.

Older Sister Consort Meng, you are so hateful.

From a materialism doctrine's perspective, ghosts don't exist.

I'm giving you a bad review.

It's not scary at all.

No...what are you doing?

You...

Let's go to sleep now.

Take me along. I'm sleeping with you tonight.

Don't leave. I still have many ghost stories.

They are really ghost stories for this round.

What are you doing?

Older Sister Consort Yan, tell me more about this materialism doctrine.

I'm so scared. You are no fun at all.

Screams in the Middle of the Night Episode 33

This Wan Wan.

It was just a ghost story.

Look at how scared she was.

I must be seeing things.

She fainted before I could even say my lines.

Did we go overboard?

She was the one who went overboard.

She told such a lousy ghost story and called us cowards.

Looking at it now, its seems like she's not brave.

Enough. Let's go in and carry her to the bed now.

She is already unconscious.

Wan Wan, stay here and take care of her.

I don't want to.

What if she wakes up? I will definitely be the first person she settles score with.

Let me squeeze in with the both of you tonight.

- What a coward. - Let's go.

Trying to scare me? So inexperienced.

When I was young, listening to ghost stories were just like listening to fairy tales.

What's there to be afraid of?

Okay, stop screaming.

I'm only just showing up to introduce my identity.

Can you see clearly?

Yes.

Can you really see me?

If not, I will do it again.

Older Sister Ghost,

My left vision is 5.1 and my right vision is 5.0. How could I not see clearly?!

Please leave now. I will burn the best incense for you later!

I don't need the best incense.

The melon seeds on your table look tasty.

I will burn some for you later.

Don't wait. Bring them to me now.

Okay.

Any with milk flavored?

We have been eating only the original melon seeds.

Do you have any other flavors?

Plum and crab flavors.

Any with spiced beancurd flavor?

I don't have any.

Okay. Bring the rest of the flavors to me.

Okay.

Here. These are my precious collections.

They are all yours.

Consider yourself tactful. Continue to keep it up.

Ghost...Older Sister Ghost.

May I dare to ask you a question?

What are you here for?

It can't be just to eat the melon seeds, right?

What's the hurry?

Young people are so fickle and impatient.

These melon seeds are a bit damp.

I have already given you all the damp melon seeds that I have.

What exactly do you want?

What's the hurry?

No...you...

What I meant is, you came too suddenly. I wasn't prepared.

I'm afraid of slighting you.

If you don't have anything urgent,

you can go back to where you came from.

I will burn incense paper for you every year on Tomb-Sweeping Day.

Or you can provide me a list of your requirements.

You don't need to personally come here.

I want my body.

I will burn it for you!

What?

My body is buried under that big tree.

Go and dig it out.

Dig?

No...

Be more careful when you dig.

If there's a single crack in my bones, I will haunt you forever.

I will stay here and not leave.

Okay, I'll be as careful as I can.

Honestly, Ghost Sister. This kind of work is not what I do.

Why don't you find someone who's good at menial labor?

Like who?

Noble Lady Xiao is not bad. She has a lot of strength.

Consort Yan can do, too.

Perhaps, she has already invented an advanced digging tool which can used in the rain.

The dug out bones may even be laminated or inlaid with diamonds.

I'm not going to find them. I only want you to do it.

Why? Who got mad because of me?

I'm here because I heard of you. You have a great reputation down below.

There is such saying?

Of course.

The old eunuch, Old Wang, who hung himself last month,

Xiao Li, the palace maid who jumped into the well this month

and Nanny Chen who choked to death yesterday while eating praised you highly.

They said Consort Meng is the best and most competent busybody.

So I came to find you for help.

No...

They are really overpraising me.

Frankly, I'm not that competent as what they said.

Stop talking nonsense. Are you digging or not?

If you don't dig, I'm going to be angry.

Don't, don't, don't! I'll dig! I'll dig!

I'll dig, okay?

Wake up. Meng Meng?

Wake up! Hurry and wake up!

What are you guys doing?

You are sleeping during and day and during the night.

Are you waiting to be slaughtered at the end of the year?

Sister Mengfei, you must have been scared to death by us last night, right?

Of course. She screamed and fainted when she saw me.

It was so funny.

I knew it was you guys.

I was acting with you guys.

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

Sister Mengfei? Sister Mengfei?

Mengmeng? Meng— Meng—

Sunflower seeds.

The sunflower seeds are gone!

There's ghost!

Why did she faint again?

Those lousy melon seeds of yours. The weather is nice today.

Yan'er took them to dry in the sun. Much ado about nothing.

Because the sunflower seeds are gone, she said she saw a ghost.

Can anyone tell me where's the logic?

There's no logic.

But is this a good idea for us to eat her collections?

What's not good about it? We are not eating,

We are merely helping her to check the dampness of the sun-dried melon seeds.

This is okay. What's your flavor?

Garlic flavor. Want it?

No. It's salty and sweet.

Old Xiao, what about yours?

Did you not taste it?

Hello!

Miss Park, you are here again with kimchi.

You should take it away. I've eaten kimchi for ten days in a row.

It's enough.

This is not kimchi. This is fruit salad that I have made.

You guys, look.

When I travelled to France, I learn this from the local people.

I thought to make some for Consort Mengfei to open up her appetite.

It tastes good!

What sauce did you add on there? I've never eaten it before.

This is French cream. It's made from thick cow's milk.

If you think it's good, then you should eat some more.

Save some for Meng.

You don't need to save the fruit salad for me. Save only the sunflower seeds is fine.

Consort Mengfei, are you okay?

It's nothing serious. I don't want to see the melon seeds when I wake up and have a false alarm.

They are just melon seeds. Don't be so agitated.

Stop cracking them.

It wasn't easy for me to save these different flavors and you mixed up everything.

Don't be agitated, Consort Meng.

Mixing them up may bring surprises.

When I was travelling, I heard this phrase.

It probably means that life is just like this plate of melon seeds.

You will never know what the next flavor is.

This phrase is the essence of philosophy.

Park Li Ji, you don't understand.

I'm agitated because I had a nightmare last night.

What did you dream about? Did you dream that you don't have anything to eat?

My nightmare is different from your nightmare.

It was very late that night and the temperate was a few degrees lower.

The house was full of cold wind.

Suddenly! There was a female ghost with blood flowing out from her seven orifices.

Very real and she likes to eat sunflower seeds.

I gave her whatever I had. I didn't had a choice.

She scared me and wanted to tear off my limbs and twist my head too.

It's too scary.

Oh my. Oh my, oh my! That intense?

Keep going. Keep making the story.

Then in the morning, I saw all the sunflower seeds are gone.

I thought the realistic dream is actually not a dream but it actually happened.

Was it really a dreamland?

If I say it, you don't understand either.

Anyway, I was almost scared to death.

When I found out the melon seeds are still here, I finally relaxed and know that it was just a dream.

It's your fault for insisting to tell ghost stories last night.

Thus, it's not strange for you to see a ghost in your dream last night.

Don't be scared. Don't be scared.

When I was travelling to Siam, I encountered many scarier incidents.

The people there raised ghost children.

They are with them day and night.

That is not as scary as mine.

I've never dreamed about such a scary thing.

Not only did the ghost take my sunflower seeds,

the ghost even told me to dig up a dead body.

Keep on. Keep on making the story.

Who's making the story?

She told me to dig under that tree in the courtyard.

She also told me to be careful

She said if I damage her skeleton, she won't leave and will pester me.

But why would she bury her skeleton there?

Is the geomancy location is good?

Are you an idiot? I told you so many details.

Can't you tell that this female ghost died from injustice?

Ghosts who died from injustice are the scariest.

So that's why I was so scared in the dream.

Xiao Park, don't be influenced by her.

Here, let's play mahjong.

We are short of a player.

Let's play, let's play. Don't bother her. Don't let her distract you.

But there are four of you here.

If we make Ah Meng play at this state, that means making her lose money.

We are not playing with her.

Come, come. I'll go get mahjong.

Come! I said to come so come.

- Clean the table up a bit, okay? - Right, clean up. Take your lid away.

Then you guys play. I'm going out for a walk.

Clean up the sunflower seeds! Who ate so much?

Old Bao, why do you look like you have indigestion?

Consort, you really don't know. I am so sad.

The Nanny Chen who has the best disposition in the palace and smiled at everyone she met, is dead.

How did she die so suddenly?

There was no warning at all. She choked to death when she was eating the day before yesterday.

How is this possible?

I thought it was not possible in the beginning. This type of death is too unacceptable.

But according to reports, the annual number of people who choked to death from eating is at least 500.

There is seven hundred death by choking to death by water.

It can't be helped. She was just unlucky. Nanny Chen struck lottery.

Why do I feel like I've heard this somewhere?

People have been dying in the palace. There's no peace at all.

Last month,Xiao Li from Jade Spring Palace argued with her partner She took things too hard and jumped into a well.

I don't know why this month, Old Eunuch Wang, who's the only son in his family for nine generations hung himself.

I even drank with him the night before that.

Why do I feel this so familiar?

The old eunuch, Old Wang, who hung himself last month,

Xiao Li, the palace maid who jumped into the well this month

and Nanny Chen who choked to death yesterday while eating praised you highly.

They said Consort Meng is the best and most competent busybody.

Hence, I'm here to seek your help.

By the way, let me ask you,

did you hear that someone died in Glory and Splendor Palace?

Someone died? Who?

I'm asking you.

Think carefully.

A long, long time ago, is it possible?

How is this possible? No way.

Glory and Spendor Palace is so out-of-the way. The consorts and concubines won't be willing to live there.

Before you moved in, the weeds were a meter high.

We could even release sheep there.

The palace was empty. We could have a horse race there.

It was that desolate?

Could a murderer have killed someone and buried the body there?

Impossible.

Why?

Who am I?

I would definitely never allow something like this to happen in the palace.

My network would never miss anything.

From the death of a cat to the death of a mouse, these are within my grasp.

What about people who went missing?

There are lots of them. They are listed in the Missing Person Register.

If you are interested, you can take a look.

But why are you so interested in this?

It's nothing. I was just asking.

Go back to your work.

It's strange.

Why is the Missing Person Register missing too?

- Did you find it? - No.

Move it. Don't slack off.

Yes.

Missing Person Register

Found it.

I found it!

My Lady, you found it? Where are you taking it?

I...I probably know it.

Hurry up.

Meng, what are you doing?

Let's go.

What's Meng doing?

What's going on?

Meng, what are you doing?

No time to explain. Pack your belongings now.

We are moving out today.

Moving house? Where are we moving to?

Anywhere will do. Let's find another palace to live in.

If need be, the Cold Palace will do too.

If this is still not possible,

I will put in an application first to register for a group tour to go on holiday.

- Where we will go? - Anywhere.

Xiao Park, you went to hundreds of places, right?

Show us your travel diaries for our consideration.

In any case, we need to leave today!

Hurry up.

No...What are you still waiting for? Move it!

Old Yan, leave your inventions here. They will be useless.

Wan Wan, bring less clothes. Have new ones tailored.

Old Xiao, bring more swords for protection.

Hurry up. Quick!

What happened? Why are you like this when you are back?

Li Ji, go back first.

When we have found a safe place and settled down, we will invite you to visit us.

Why are you still standing here? Hurry up!

Wait till we have left, I will explain to you.

Otherwise, I fear...

The walls have ears.

Meng, explain clearly or we will never leave.

That's right, Meng. Tell us and let's think of a solution together.

That's right. Escaping is not the way to resolve any problems.

Oh my Mother, did I just say something logical?

I have become smarter. Could it be because of that French fruit salad?

Miss Park, make more for me in the future. Okay?

Okay, I can teach you the method.

You only need to cut the fruits

and then, pour the cream over it and it's done.

- It sounds very easy. - Enough!

Let's leave now. Come here, I will tell you.

Quick.

It's because this place is not clean.

Not clean?

It's very clean. It was just cleaned.

It's not this kind of uncleanliness.

It's that kind.

Meng Meng, I already told you a hundred times. You were dreaming.

There are no ghosts in this world.

I dreamed the female ghost told me that

she heard recommendations from Xiao Li, the palace maid who jumped into the well two months ago,

and also the old enunch Old Wang who committed suicide this month

and also Nanny Chen who choked to death from eating yesterday.

That's why she came to seek my help.

Moreover, I just bumped into Old Bao.

That's how I found out Nanny Chen, Xiao Li and Old Wang

died during these periods.

If I didn't know these in advance, how could I have dreamed of it?

Oh my God, it's so exciting.

There's even something more frightening.

I just found this.

It's her.

Take a look.

Talk to your conscience. Are there any differences between the portraits?

All these portraits have oval faces, big eyes, high noses and thick lips.

There are no differences.

If you place them together, you can't find the differences.

Join them together and take a look?

I think they were drawn by the same physician.

It must have been from our physicians.

If these portraits can be considered valid,

Meng, you are too foolish and naive.

- But... - There's no "but".

I have a way to dispel your fears and misgivings.

What is it?

Didn't you say that female ghost told you to dig up her corpse?

Let's dig at the designated place.

If there's nothing there, it's just your imagination. You are only scaring yourself.

It's decided then. I'm going to dig now.

Let's go.

This is where she pointed. It must be here.

Over here?

Start digging.

Whether it's true or not,

let's witness this miraculous moment.

- Wait. - What's wrong?

You must be gentle. Don't break any bones.

Wait, wait!

What now?

You must be extra careful.

There must be no scratches on the bones.

- You should dig. - Old Xiao, you should dig instead.

She's only good at moving her mouth.

Moreover, it's 99.9 percent that it's empty.

Even if something happens,

I wil be responsible for joining back her bones and throw in a free facial mask too. Okay?

- Start digging. - I'm digging.

The 0.01 percent is here.

Impossible. Must be a rock. Keep digging.

Why are we missing a person?

Stop caring yourself!

It's because Xiao Park was too scared and ran away!

I told you there's a ghost and you didn't believe me!

Let's pack up and leave now!

What should we do, Older Sister Consort Meng?

Will we be able to leave now?

Did you see that?

In a blink of an eye, there's lightning and rain.

- Do you know what this means? - What?

It means the Imperial Astronomer will lose his job as his weather forecast was inaccurate?

No.

It means there's a mystical force here which doesn't want us to leave!

I didn't even use any special effects.

Why are you shocked and screamng?

You will disturb the neighbors and affect their sleep.

So uncivilized.

I...I'm sorry. I was wrong.

Did you dig up the bones?

If you have dug up my bones, I can tell you

my miserable story of why I was buried here.

Wait a moment.

Although I love to poke my nose in other people's business

but seeking justice for ghosts is really not my line of work.

Why don't I transfer you

into someone else's dream?

I don't want you to seek justice for me.

Then...

I only want to air the frustrations in my heart.

You only need to listen.

Where are the melon seeds?

Thinking about back when I entered the palace with my cousin for the selection

and after passing so many rounds and people,

we were finally able to stay in the palace.

Although we didn't have a high status

but we relied on and took care of each other.

But I never imagined that

my cousin would treat me this way.

My Ladies, I was joking.

Don't be angry.

So hateful! Stop making jokes about this!

You are disrespecting the dead.

Okay.

About this, My Ladies,

this is not the bone of a human,

This is the bone of a pig.

Not only this, these are bones of a pig in this bag.

It can't be. Did you see wrongly?

Please trust my professional judgment.

Be calm.

You are just scaring yourselves.

You are just giving psychological hints to yourselves and turning normal events into something fearful.

This is not good.

By the way, your priority now is to think of how to apologize to Da Huang.

Da Huang took so much efforts to bury these bones.

Not only did you dig them up, you even took them away.

This is no different from searching and confiscating.

Yan'er, did you realize that Da Huang is not that energetic as before?

Look at what happpened to me for the past two days. I didn't get my beauty sleep.

My skin is dehydrated and dull.

I need to apply facial masks for six months to get it back to the original state.

You still have the mood to apply facial masks?

Think about Da Huang.

For the entire day's of three meals and a supper,

it didn't even take a bite. It didn't drink any water too.

Oh my God, is Da Huang on a diet?

It's taking it too hard.

We only dug up its bones.

Old Xiao has already returned them to it.

The ground was filled up completely exactly as it used to be.

It looked like nothing has happened.

If you want us to say, Da Huang has a bad temper.

We already returned the bones and it's still angry with us.

It doesn't even wag its tail when it sees me now.

It only stopped wagging its tail at you. It even rolled its eyes upon seeing me.

What should we do?

Let's quickly think of a way to humor it.

Doghouse for Da Huang

Da Huang, look at what this is.

This is your new home.

Ah Meng, hurry up.

Whether we can placate Da Huang, it depends on you.

Coming.

Don't say that. It's giving me a lot of pressure.

Is this considered giving you pressure?

Writing a self-criticism report is so easy just like closing an eye for you.

You are really mistaken about my specialty.

Older Sister Consort Meng, read it now

so that we can cut the ribbons for the doghouse and eat.

- Okay, I'm doing it now. - It's the dog who's eating.

It's almost time for us to eat too.

Dear Da Huang,

we feel very guilty and are full of remorse.

This self-criticism report is written for you.

My thousand year old antique vase.

Who broke this? Who?

Me.

It's okay.

I will replace it with a three-colored porcelain vase on another day.

We have plenty of these in the netherworld.

It's her! She's the Older Sister Ghost who's scaring me!

Don't be afraid. We are dreaming now.

That's right. We are experienced now.

It's all in our minds.

This is not real. It's not.

Older Sister Ghost, I know you are an illusion.

We are not afraid anymore.

You are here to crack melon seeds.

We have already covered all your food and basic needs in the dreams. Just tell us if you have any instructions.

I will lend you my clothes.

Stop wearing white clothes. They are inauspicious.

You can use my make-up and jewelries anytime. I'm very generous.

Stay in whichever room you like. I will be your bodyguard.

I will shelter you from the sun and rain, and prevent you from being burned to ashes.

This is very touching.

Do you still want to crack melon seeds? I prepared 30 catty.

No need for melon seeds.

I heard you usually have hotpot and drink together.

I'm very envious of this.

Don't be envious. We will take you to try this tonight.

Yes, that's right.

Let's add the vegetables.

Come, let's eat.

Add the meat.

I like to eat meat. Add more.

The meat is very fresh today.

It smells so good. I can't wait anymore.

- It's so fragrant. - Let's sing a happy song to Older Sister Ghost.

Okay.

Ready, go.

♫ Happy brithday to you. Happy birthday to you. ♫

♫ Happy brithday to you Older Sister Ghost ♫

♫ Happy brithday to you ♫

This is great!

Come, cheers!

Cheers!

She finally left.

I must wake up now and tell you about my dream.

I was very brave this time. I did exceptionally well.

How did this become your dream?

Isn't it mine?

No. I'm dreaming and you are in my dream.

Isn't this my dream?

Hello, I'm back again.

Come and eat now.

- I had a nightmare. - Me too. - Me also.

Why don't everyone tell what we dreamed?

- A female ghost. - Hotpot.

- Gossip. - Singing.
