[My Wife is A Thief]

[Episode 6]

Erxi.

Have you found him?

Miss.

We have searched all the places

where people can hide themselves in the city.

But we didn't find the person from the Nanxiang Kingdom that you talked about.

But I got some information.

I don't know if it has anything to do with the person you're looking for.

What information?

We were begging at the restaurant the other day.

The manager there said

that recently a man often ordered Beef with Kuming Leaves

and asked the manager to put the dish in the lunch box and deliver it to him.

But people in the capital

never eat Kuming leaves.

Only those from the Nanxiang Kingdom like them.

People can hardly buy Kuming leaves in the capital.

The manager was anxious to purchase enough Kuming leaves.

Do you know where the dish was delivered to?

Sanqing Casino.

Thank you. I'll go there now.

Bye.

[Jinxin Embroidery House]

Senior.

What did Master say?

What do you think she would say?

She said you were smart

and brave enough

to offend those from the Ministry of Justice.

She said you were

one of the very few heroines in Watermill.

These comments of hers sound like sarcasm.

They are like what you would say.

Do you want to continue to listen or not?

Yes, go ahead.

Master said

whether you had something to do with the envoy's case or not,

you needed to stay in Xu's Mansion and couldn't go anywhere else.

Remember you're the Young Madam.

Try to stay out of it.

And don't come to Watermill if you don't have to.

No way.

Senior.

I've finally found some clues.

You have to help me.

Junior.

Master only asked me to cooperate with you

to investigate where the jade pendant is.

I can't help you

with anything else.

If my innocence cannot be proven,

all the people at Watermill will be implicated.

It's not just about me.

Are you proud that you'll get all of us implicated?

That's not what I meant.

Tell me, how can I help you?

Thank you.

The Ministry of Justice is in charge of the case.

Young Master Gongyang

keeps an eye on me all the time.

You go see him and buy me some time.

And...

How could you say that?

Fine.

Leave, leave, leave.

-You and your ideas! -Please help me, Senior.

Your idea will get me killed sooner or later.

Listen to me, Senior.

[Be Righteous and Enforce the Law]

Why would he want to do that?

What's there to see?

His Majesty said

the Ministry of Justice is in charge of the case.

-We can’t interfere. -My Lord.

Have some tea.

Xu Muchen is from the Ministry of Justice?

Fine.

-Go back to your work. -If he’s from the Ministry of Justice...

Let him investigate with the Ministry of Justice.

Let him talk to those from the Ministry of Justice.

Don't stand here.

Get out.

Get out!

Give me some men.

Let them change into plain clothes and go with me.

What men? Why do you need some men?

How many times have I told you that?

Why don't you understand?

Zichen Department can't interfere in that matter anymore.

I won't give you the men.

I won't do it.

We've found the envoy's hideout.

Are you saying the envoy is still alive?

Well.

Where is he hiding now?

At Sanqing Casino.

Sanqing Casino?

Well.

How did you get the information?

Wu Zhao and I found that

after he escaped from the Treasure Pavilion that day,

he traded a ring for two taels of silver.

Two taels of silver were not enough to cover his expenses in the capital.

Unless...

Unless

he earned money with the money.

That's right.

Lord Gu.

When I was escorting him,

I found that he was only interested in the casinos.

And the bills found in his bag

were old and wrinkled.

It seemed the bills had been taken away from casinos.

But in the capital,

there're many casinos, some of which are secret ones.

How can you be so sure he's at Sanqing Casino?

He only had two taels of silver.

No other casinos would let him bet

except Sanqing Casino

where no matter how much money gamblers bet, they're welcome.

Are you giving me the men or not?

No, I won't.

Wu Zhao.

Give our men half a day off.

Let them change into clean clothes

and treat them to a nice meal.

Well, treat them to two nice meals.

Yes.

Understand?

Yes.

Let's go.

I have good luck today.

Not bad.

Ask Zhang

to have a drink with us.

[Sanqing Casino]

Okay.

I won.

Come on.

You're lucky. So what?

I don't know what's happening to me today.

Come on. Place your bets.

Small.

Small, small.

Tell them to keep a close watch.

Yes.

Zichen Department also noticed that this place was suspicious.

Looks like

the envoy is very likely to be hiding there.

We've been outside the casino for a long time

but we haven't seen the envoy.

Do you think he's inside

and didn't come out?

That's impossible.

Lord Xu has never misjudged a case.

In my opinion,

the envoy is hiding in the casino

and dare not come out.

[Wuxing Building]

What should we do now?

We can't investigate the case like we used to.

We can't just go in and search for him.

Just wait.

See if Lord Xu has got any new idea.

By the way,

the envoy is really a heavy gambler.

His life is at stake.

But he still goes to the casino every day.

Well...

Alright, let's go.

What idea can he get?

He has to do everything he can to ask me for help.

However,

if the envoy is really a heavy gambler...

I won.

It must be big this time.

Come on.

Ready.

Open.

Let's do it again.

Place your bet.

Come on.

What are you doing here?

Do you own this casino?

Why can't I be here?

I'm working.

Stop it. Go home.

We have the three rules. Don't question each other.

Place your bet. Hurry up.

Come on.

[Gambling]

Hurry up. Open it.

Open it!

Small.

It must be big this time.

Again. Let's do it again.

I'll go double.

Open.

Let's do it again.

I won.

She won again.

Not bad, girl.

Pay me up.

My Lord.

Young Madam is really good at it.

Let our men keep a close watch.

Yes.

Here, son.

Son.

Try this.

This is the new dish made by the cook.

I just tried it.

You'll like it.

Son.

Mother.

It's delicious.

What's wrong with you these days?

You've been absent-minded and have a low appetite.

Is something bothering you?

I'm thinking about the case.

Don't worry about me.

Stop thinking about the case. Let's eat.

Your father will help you with your career.

What I want most

is to see you get married and have children.

Then our family will have offspring.

That's what matters.

Mother,

I got employed by Ministry of Justice because I'm capable.

It had nothing to do with my father's help.

To get married and have children

is not something urgent.

How could you say that? I'm so anxious.

Xu Muchen

married the Duke's daughter.

Mrs. Xu

will probably have a grandchild next year.

She was being so complacent in front of me.

You should also get married soon.

Su Jinzhen?

Mother.

Do you think there is something suspicious about Su Jinzhen?

Yes.

I don't understand

why she would marry Xu Muchen.

Son, don't worry.

I'll ask Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Liu,

and Mrs. Zhao to come some other day.

I'll ask them to bring their unmarried daughters here.

By then,

tell me the girl you like.

I will arrange a date for you.

Mother.

I'll take care of it myself.

You don't have to do it for me.

Listen to me.

Young Master, Your Ladyship.

A lady surnamed Qin is at the door.

She said she came to deliver clothes to Young Master.

Miss Qin?

Let her in.

Yes.

Open it.

Eight Characters.

The cards I have...

Hurry up.

Self-pick! I won!

She won again.

Pay me up, come on.

Place your bets. Hurry up!

I won. Great Dragons!

Great Dragons?

How many times the stakes will she win?

256 times.

You are so lucky.

Pay up, pay up.

Here.

-I lost all my money. -Thank you.

I won!

I won!

I won!

Heavenly Hand!

Heavenly Hand?

[Gambling]

It's a Heavenly Hand!

Thirteen Orphans!

Thirteen Orphans?

She is so amazing.

It's real. Look.

Thirteen Orphans.

Here you are.

Pay me up.

You're so lucky.

I quit, I quit.

How can we play after you leave?

[Gambling]

-Who wants to join us? -Do you want to play with us?

-Come on. -I can't.

Come on, join us.

-Come on. -You go.

Come on.

Come on.

She is amazing.

Okay, let's play.

Come on.

Let our men keep a close eye on them.

She even showed Heavenly Hand and Thirteen Orphans.

They still want to play with her?

Nine Bamboos.

His skills are good.

Looks like he's a master of Mahjong.

The mark on his hand

suggests that he always wore a ring.

Small.

Big. Big.

Small. Big.

His figure is like the envoy's.

He must be the envoy.

He was the man who fought against me that night.

North.

He's been silent

because he's afraid his accent will betray him.

West Wind.

I have to find a way to let Xu know this.

Eight Characters.

You are quite good at playing Mahjong.

But judging from your skills,

I don't think you're a local here.

Are you from the Nanxiang Kingdom?

Wu Zhao.

What's wrong, My Lord?

Target has appeared.

Clear the casino.

Yes.

Please, Miss.

Miss Qin.

Greetings, Young Master Gongyang.

Greetings, Madam Gongyang.

Thank you for bringing it here.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

I brought the outfit myself

so that if the outfit doesn't fit,

you won't blame me

or embarrass me.

You must be joking.

I believe your skills are excellent.

Miss Qin.

Are all the outfits

your clients ordered at your Embroidery House delivered

to the clients' homes by you?

Your Ladyship.

Of course not.

Young Master Gongyang is our VIP.

So I delivered his outfit myself.

There are only a few clothes

in my son's wardrobe.

I didn't expect

he would order a outfit at your Embroidery House.

Miss Qin, I have to admire you

for doing your business so well.

Mother.

I went to the Embroidery House to investigate a case.

No wonder you've been

absent-minded and had a low appetite these days.

How could you say you were there to investigate the case?

Is she the case you were talking about?

Mother, what are you talking about?

Miss Qin.

That's not what my mother meant.

Mother.

Go back and rest.

Take my mother back to rest.

Yes.

Sir.

Please try it on.

Miss Qin.

I can do it myself.

Let me help you.

This is what I should do for you.

No need.

Don't move.

Let me take off your clothes

and help you try on the new outfit.

I can do it myself.

I can do it myself.

Don't move.

Zichen Department is investigating a case here.

[Zichen Department]

Leave now.

Leave now.

Okay.

We'll leave. We'll leave.

-Okay. -We'll leave.

We'll leave.

Hurry up. Show it.

Show what?

Zichen Department is investigating here.

Leave now.

Hurry up. Your turn.

What's wrong?

How can you run away after winning the money?

What are you doing?

What's going on?

What's going on?

Don't move.

Put the knife down.

Put the knife down! Hurry!

I'll kill her if any of you comes to me.

Stop! Don't move!

-Back off! -Freeze!

[Gambling]

Darling, save me!

You're his husband?

Tell them to step back.

Calm down.

Back off.

Back off.

Did you hear me?

Come on.

Back off.

You men from Jingzhao are really good.

In order to catch me,

you would even sacrifice your wife.

Don't hurt her.

We're here to protect you.

They're here to protect you.

Did you hear that? They're not here to hurt you.

You're talking too much.

All of you

want to kill me.

None of you are good people.

Prepare a good horse for me.

I'll let her go when I'm safe.

Did you hear me?

Did you hear me?

Get him a horse.

Yes.

Back off!

Back off!

Back off!

Dude, calm down.

Back off.

[Gambling]

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Are you okay?

Let go of me!

Miss Qin.

That's enough.

I know

why you're doing this.

What?

No need to say it explicitly.

I know it.

I know you have feelings for me.

I think I'm a handsome and talented man.

We are suited to each other.

Don't worry that I'll look down on you

because of your family background.

I don't think that matters at all.

But...

Though we love each other,

we should also respect each other and not be too close.

Otherwise, there will be rumors about our relationship

and you'll be hurt.

You're right.

My Lord.

What's wrong?

Some of our men

saw those from Zichen Department

make a scene in front of Sanqing Casino.

They seem to be arresting someone.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

I...

Aren't you...

You're a fool.

Miss Qin.

I have to go.

See you later.

Mr. Envoy, it wasn't easy to find you.

Are you Xu Muchen from Zichen Department?

I knew it. People from Jing Dynasty all want to kill me.

I think you misunderstood.

I misunderstood?

Did I misunderstand?

If you didn't want to kill me,

why were you making a scene?

After a few days,

I'll leave the capital safely when no one pays attention to me.

Since someone was trying to kill you in the Treasure Pavilion,

why do you still believe you can leave the capital safely?

Put your hands off from him.

My Lord.

Your king

knew you got in danger in the capital

so he is planning to start a war against us.

If the war starts, people of both sides will suffer.

You and I cannot afford to let that happen.

Jing Dynasty started it.

You thought some official of Jing Dynasty wanted to kill you

so you made everyone believe the killer's body was your body.

You faked your own death and escaped, right?

Only officials of Jing Dynasty

could be powerful enough to get a killer to assassinate me.

The Willow Leaf Thief Liu...

What Willow Leaf Thief Liu?

You mean that woman in black?

She ran away after the fight that night.

This case involves two countries.

Mr. Envoy, please go with us.

Escort Young Madam back.

Yes.

[Sanqing Casino]

[Mei Lu]

My Lord.

My Lord.

Zichen Department's men and horses are behind the casino.

They're fighting against a bunch of people in black

whose origins are unknown.

They're the killers.

Go! Protect the envoy!

Who sent you?

Tell me.

My Lord.

They committed suicide by taking poison.

What's going on?

Mr. Envoy.

Wu Zhao.

Why are you here?

Where is the envoy?

I'm asking you. Where is the envoy?

Calm down, calm down.

The envoy has been taken somewhere else.

Lord Xu took him away himself.

Xu Muchen?

How dare you guys cheat me!

We didn't cheat.

This is our strategy.

Let go of me.

Do you want to take these bodies

back to the Ministry of Justice

and try to find some clues from them?

Keep them for yourselves.

Let's leave.

Yes.

Take the bodies back to Zichen Department.

See if we can find any information

about their identities on them.

Yes.

The envoy's case has got so many people involved.

Behind the case there may be some important Jing official

who plotted everything that happened.

The purpose of escorting him with the carriage

is to trick them to expose themselves.

Let's see if the mastermind will take action.

I have a task for you.

Pretend to be the envoy.

I'll pretend to be the envoy?

Lord Xu's prediction was right.

[Ministry of Justice]

You, the vegetable seller over there.

Move the carriage away.

Don't let it stand in the way.

[Zichen Department]

Lord Xu.

It's an emergency.

I need to see Lord Gongyang.

Okay.

[Ministry of Justice]

[Ministry of Justice]

The envoy of the Nanxiang Kingdom is still alive.

Yes.

[Ministry of Justice]

A killer

tried to assassinate the envoy in the Treasure Pavilion.

To protect himself,

the envoy faked his corpse with the killer's

and hid himself in the casino.

My Lord.

I guess

someone is trying to cause conflicts between the two sates with this incident.

Please investigate this thoroughly.

I'm proud of you.

Lord Xu.

I will investigate the case fully

and find out the truth for His Majesty and the envoy.

Thank you, Uncle Gongyang.

Bye.

When he was trying to save me today,

he looked anxious and worried.

Calm down.

Let go of my wife!

I'm here to protect you.

You are her husband, right?

Tell them to step back.

What husband?

It's all fake.

But his kung fu is very good.

He's quite reliable at critical moments.

[Gambling]

Are you okay?

He wasn't pretending to be anxious and worried. He really was.

He looked silly but cute.

If Zhen really marries him,

it won't be that bad.

Wait.

I am Zhen now.

Young Madam.

Young Madam?

Young Madam.

Something is wrong with you today.

Wait, something is very wrong with you today.

No.

Why do you keep staring at me?

By the way,

when will Young Master come back?

This is the seventh time

that you have asked when Young Master will be back.

Really?

I'm just concerned about Young Master.

Is he back or not?

No.

Why isn't he back yet?

Do you hope that Young Master won't come back?

Do you hope that he's not home

so that you can go out?

Go out?

Why would I go out?

Young Madam.

After you and Young Master got married,

you often left the mansion early in the morning and came back late.

You've just been back

for only a few minutes,

but now you're considering

going out again before Young Master comes back.

Xiao Qiu,

What do you mean?

Do you think after I married into the Xu family,

I should never go out?

That's not what I meant, Young Madam.

You're married.

You can't go out alone every day.

Well.

Young Master is not very romantic.

But you shouldn't cheat on him.

That's not a right thing to do.

I cheated on him?

You must have read too many storytelling scripts.

Do you think I went out

to go on secret dates with other men?

If you were not dating other men,

why couldn't I go with you?

You don't understand.

I'm Young Master's good wife now.

I have to help him with lots of things.

I often need to go out

to do something for him.

That's why I couldn't let you go with me.

So I misunderstood?

I'm sorry.

It's okay. I forgive you.

Young Master, you are back.

Do you want me to make you something to eat?

I'm not hungry.

Let's call it a day. You can go back and have a rest.

Yes.

[Elegant Residence in Spring Sunshine]

Xiao Qiu.

Why are you still here?

I'm waiting for you.

What are you doing?

I'm worried about Young Master and Young Madam.

Young Madam isn't at home for most of the day.

Young Master didn't look happy just now.

They will definitely have a quarrel tonight.

I have to talk to them.

They will be fine tonight.

Young Master should thank Young Madam for what she did today.

Thank her?

Why?

Young Madam contributed a lot

to solving the case today.

Young Madam helped you solve the case?

Yes.

Let me tell you.

the envoy from the Nanxiang Kingdom

was hiding at Sanqing Casino.

Many of us went in but failed to find him.

Then Young Madam went in and gambled.

She won a lot and managed to

lure the envoy to her gambling table.

But...

Was Young Madam in danger?

It was dangerous but she remained poised.

You scared me.

But what were you doing?

How come you needed Young Madam to help you with the case?

What were you guys doing?

Watching the show?

Who said that?

Later in the day I pretended to be the envoy

and met a bunch of assassins.

Luckily I stopped them.

You did?

Of course.

Did you get hurt?

Here.

Are you okay?

And here.

It hurts here too.

Stop pretending.

Are you hungry?

Yes.

Let's go to the kitchen.

I'll cook something delicious for you.

Okay.

Let me continue.

When I confronted the killers,

I beat them easily.

They were

no match for me.

You're bragging.

You are quite good at playing Mahjong.

But judging from your skills,

I don't think you're a local here.

Are you from the Nanxiang Kingdom?

Thanks to her help,

the case was solved so quickly.

But she is a lady from Duke's Mansion.

It's inappropriate for her

to frequent places like casinos.

I didn't expect him to keep his word.

I forgive him

for taking advantage of me last time.

When I find the jade pendant,

I won't kill him.

The case is solved.

Why do you have to tell everyone

that the man wasn't killed by Willow Leaf Thief Liu?

She didn't kill the man.

There's no need to put up a notice saying that.

She is a thief and we are the officers.

How can officers

prove a thief's innocence?

Isn't that absurd?

She didn't kill the man.

This is the truth.

The truth matters.

What does it have to do with being an officer or a thief?

[Bounty on arrest]

[Notice]

The one who tried to kill the envoy from the Nanxiang Kingdom

was not Willow Leaf Thief Liu?

But the Ministry of Justice issued an arrest order against her.

[Rest Station]

Doesn't it mean Willow Leaf Thief Liu was the assassin?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, yes, yes.

[Notice]

The Ministry of Justice didn't find out

the truth.

After a careful and thorough investigation

by Zichen Department,

we found the real assassin.

So we put up a notice here

to prove her innocence.

[Rest Station]

Oh.

[Notice]

All right.

Let's go.

[Catch-and-kill order] [Notice]

-I told you the stories in the storytelling script were true. -Excuse me.

-Excuse me. -Willow Leaf Thief Liu is really a good thief.

She wouldn't be a murderer.

You're right.

How could the Ministry of Justice ruin her reputation?

In my opinion,

Zichen Department is more reliable.

Yes, that's right.

Zichen Department is more reliable.

Willow Leaf Thief Liu didn't kill anyone.

That's right.

But the other day you guys said

Willow Leaf Thief Liu was so ugly that she couldn't find a husband

so she got furious

and killed the envoy from the Nanxiang Kingdom.

Who said that?

Who said that?

Who said that?

No one.

Willow Leaf Thief Liu didn't kill the envoy from the Nanxiang Kingdom,

[Rest Station]

but she's indeed ugly and can't find a husband.

This is the truth.

Yes, it is.

How could you say that?

[Rest Station]

Then why doesn't she get married?

Why did she choose to be a thief?

You're right.

Why didn't she get married?

Why didn't she get married?

What you said is groundless.

Willow Leaf Thief Liu's reputation

is ruined by you.

Why did she suddenly leave?

It's strange.

[Xu's Mansion]

Xu Muchen is not bad.

He really got the arrest order against me quashed.

He's a man of integrity and is always meticulous.

His kung fu

is just a little better than mine.

His appearance

is not bad.

He's not as evil

as Master said.

No.

Rong.

Although you're smart,

you're still too young.

You can't let him fool you.

It's more important to find the jade pendant.

But I haven't got any clues

about where the jade pendant is.

Next time I see Master,

I'll be scolded again.

She said I didn't try hard enough to get close to him.

But how to get close to him?

I'm not Senior.

I've almost eaten all of them.

Young Madam, you're here.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

I thought you might be hungry,

so I brought some cakes.

Thank you.

You do your work.

I should go now.

[Chamber of Maple Scent]

My Lord.

Young Madam treats you really well.

She often comes

and brings something to eat.

You should do something nice for her.

You want to be my teacher?

No, I wouldn't dare.

Why did Young Madam bring you white chrysanthemums?

Aren't white chrysanthemums for funerals?

She didn't mean to curse you.

White chrysanthemums must have some other meaning.

I see.

The oil refined from white chrysanthemums can make one sexually exited.

My Lord.

Young Madam was giving you hints.

Shut up.

But why would Young Madam do that?

[Xu's Mansion]

I caught the thief for him.

and gave him many snacks.

It'll be his turn

to do something for me

or give me an inherited jade pendant or something.

Darling, you're back.

Are you tired after a busy day?

Yes, I'm very tired.

He ignored me.

What's wrong with Xu Muchen?

He was so happy

when I was giving him the snacks.

Why is he ignoring me now?

When will this end?

[Elegant Residence in Spring Sunshine]

Young Madam, are you awake?

Young Madam.

Did you sleep well last night?

Young Madam, it's time to get up.

Madam has been waiting for you for long. She wants to have breakfast with you.

What time is it now?

It's 9 a.m. now.

It's 9 a.m. now?

Xiao Qiu.

If I'm not up at this hour next time,

just wake me up.

Do not keep Mother waiting.

Okay.

What should I wear?

Young Madam.

Let me help you.

Why are they

throwing away these good flowers?

Young Madam.

Young Madam.

Young Madam looks demure and conservative.

Surprisingly, she's actually horny.

Exactly.

Let me tell you.

Everyone in the mansion has heard about it.

Mother.

Sorry to keep you waiting.

Why are you sitting here?

I'm old.

I get up early.

It's normal for you young people to get up late.

We'll have breakfast here from now on

so that you won't need to walk too much.

Come, sit down.

Xiao Qiu.

It's so nice of you

to do this.

I should do this.

We are family.

So you and your husband

should often communicate with each other and be more tolerant of each other.

Chen has been a distant person since young.

But he practices kung fu a lot

and has no bad habits.

He definitely has a healthy body.

Maybe he has some health problems,

but they should be psychological ones.

I don't know

how I can help you with those.

You two need to communicate with each other more

and understand each other more

so that your love will be deeper.

You'd better not let him use the oil refined from white chrysanthemums.

Right?

White chrysanthemums?

What white chrysanthemums?

White chrysanthemums?

You don't know that.

Young Madam

gave Young Master many white chrysanthemums yesterday.

How are my earrings?

They look pretty.

Mother.

Are you angry because I replaced the cakes

with white chrysanthemums?

I was just...

I'm not angry with you.

I understand how you feel.

So,

you know what I mean.

All right, let's eat.

I'll get you a bowl of porridge.

Let me do that.

What were you looking at?

-Forget it. -Let me see.

Your Ladyship, what brings you here?

Muchen didn't go out, right?

No, he's inside.

Calm down.

Who are you to close my shop?

Let go of me!

Give my ledger back!

Is it that good?

Stop him!

Let go of me!

Hello, Mrs. Xu.

You hang out every day.

You abandoned your family.

I'm so unlucky

to have married you.

Shut up.

All right.

[Be Righteous and Enforce the Law]

Mrs. Xu.

Wu Zhao, close the door.

Yes.

Shut up.

Come here now!

Your Ladyship.

Don't you dare touch me.

Shut up.

Mother.

Who is he?

He is the best doctor in the capital, Dr. Ding.

Are you feeling unwell?

I'm fine.

I asked Dr. Ding to come

to let him treat you.

Treat me?

I'm all fine.
