[My Wife is A Thief]

[Episode 9]

Concerning the case involving the Nanxiang Kingdom's envoy last time,

I already forgave you.

I won't easily forgive you this time.

I'm going to take back your title of Willow Leaf Thief Liu.

If you make a mistake again,

you will be punished severely.

Master.

Everyone, listen.

Yes.

I've taken the title of Willow Leaf Thief Liu.

From now on, no one is allowed

to intervene in the case of Hu's Mansion.

Understand?

Yes.

Liu Rong.

Master,

I understand.

Master.

I...

Dismissed.

Yes, Senior.

Master,

although Rong made a mistake,

do you have to punish her like this?

Rong got hurt.

Go get her some medicine

so that she can heal completely.

Yes.

What are you doing?

What can I do?

You can't handle this case.

Why not?

Do you know which case is related to Lord Hu's ledger,

which has been stolen?

I know.

Taizhou's water case.

Why... Why do you still want to meddle in it since you know?

The Xu family has a complicated relationship with this case.

Maybe the Ministry of Justice will...

What will the Ministry of Justice do?

[Wedding]

[Wedding]

Lord Gongyang, you're here.

[Wedding]

Last night,

the Zichen Department guarded Hu's Mansion.

But Lord Hu and his family were murdered at night.

Don't you want to say anything?

I should take responsibility for this.

Since you plead guilty,

come with me to the Ministry of Justice.

The Ministry of Justice?

Why?

Although Xu Muchen

is guilty of incompetence

and negligence,

it's in the Zichen Department's purview

to hold him accountable.

Besides,

Xu Muchen has been suspended by me.

He's not an official now.

It's none of the Ministry of Justice's business.

But...

But Xu Muchen,

you want to catch Willow Leaf Thief Liu every day

to make contributions.

You fell into Willow Leaf Thief Liu's trap

and were lured away.

If you didn't think about catching the thief,

maybe the murderer couldn't have entered Hu's Mansion.

[Wedding]

You were supposed to make contributions.

But now,

you are guilty.

Lord Gu,

don't change the topic in front of me.

The punishment for the crime of negligence

is not just suspension, right?

Lord Gongyang,

you're right.

Indeed, someone guilty of negligence

shouldn't only be suspended.

Look, yesterday,

the appearance of Willow Leaf Thief Liu

was indeed an emergency.

[Wedding]

The Zichen Department and the Ministry of Justice

are responsible for catching Willow Leaf Thief Liu together.

But during the process of catching the thief,

due to your personal reasons,

you quitted temporarily

and didn't care about the mission of catching Willow Leaf Thief Liu.

Lord Gongyang,

is this negligence or not?

Xu Muchen.

[Wedding]

What are you waiting for?

Go.

[Hu's Mansion]

Thank you, Lord Xu.

My Lord.

What are you doing?

The Ministry of Justice's men didn't stop me.

Now you're stopping me.

My Lord,

please don't make it difficult for us.

I just want to go in to mourn Lord Hu.

Lord Gu specially told us

not to let you

approach Lord Hu's mansion without permission.

Please forgive us.

Fine.

I won't go in.

Have you seen anyone suspicious recently?

We haven't seen anyone suspicious today.

I was removed from Watermill by my master

because of Lord Hu's murder case.

If I find out the truth,

she will definitely give the title of Willow Leaf Thief Liu

back to me.

If you find anyone suspicious,

report to me immediately.

Xu Muchen is here.

It's good that he's here.

My reputation and innocence depend on him.

[Hu's Mansion]

Yes.

I think the person just now

looks familiar.

You are so bold.

The wanted posters for you are everywhere on the street.

How dare you go to Hu's Mansion openly!

I didn't kill him.

I should find out the truth.

I...

Can you not make me worried?

If I didn't pass by,

they would have caught you.

What?

Do you want me to get you out

from the prison of the Ministry of Justice?

Enough.

Jinning, thank you for your help.

Don't.

Don't call me Jinning.

I should call you Madam.

Tell me.

What do you plan to do next?

Of course I should find the murderer.

Otherwise, how can I gain a foothold in the martial world in the future?

Rong,

in my opinion,

you should do something relaxing.

You don't have to adventure in the martial world.

It's too dangerous.

It makes me worried.

You have a point.

Staying in Xu's Mansion is quite relaxing.

No way!

What I mean is

Xu Muchen is sinister and cunning.

If he finds out

you are not the daughter of the Su family,

he wouldn't allow you to stay in his mansion, right?

Also, if he finds out

you are Willow Leaf Thief Liu,

will he let you go?

What can I do?

Now I can't find anyone to help me.

I can help you.

Really?

Yes.

Leave the case of Hu's Mansion

to me.

Jinning,

you're a loyal friend.

Of course.

I'm much more capable

than Xu Muchen.

Jinning, you're awesome.

Rong, I can help you.

Pat me gently. It hurts.

Okay.

It's a deal then.

See you.

How about letting me send you back?

Are these new storybooks of Baiyue Shop?

You're amazing.

You bought so many.

I'm familiar with the boss.

How come all the main characters are officials?

Boring.

Officials are good.

They are skilled in martial arts, intelligent,

gentle, and loyal.

Most importantly, they have steady incomes.

Look at this part.

The male lead gives a gift to a girl.

The girl doesn't like it,

but he keeps giving her gifts.

I think this storybook should change its name.

It should be renamed

Daily Skills for Getting a Wife Unsuccessfully.

[Live with integrity and purity]

Indeed, he is inflexible.

-He should give her what she likes. -Wu Zhao,

come to the study.

Okay.

You read them first.

Go.

Xiao Qiu.

Is Young Master back?

Yes. He went to the study.

He pulled a really long face.

Isn't that normal?

That means he's in a good mood.

Young Madam.

Wu Zhao told me

Young Master has been suspended

because of Lord Hu's case.

Besides, Young Master Gongyang

of the Ministry of Justice is up to no good.

He wants to punish Young Master.

How can Young Master possibly be in a good mood?

Xiao Qiu,

are there pastries in the kitchen?

They made mint pastries today.

They said the pastries are for you.

I'm going to deliver them to him.

All of the Zichen Department's members

were punished

because of what happened today.

Lord Gu and Gongyang of the Ministry of Justice

are furious.

In this situation,

who do you think has the guts to help you steal the case file?

According to you, I should just stay at home

and do nothing, right?

What's wrong with that?

You can take the chance to accompany Old Madam and Young Madam.

Think about it.

Usually, you always stayed in the Zichen Department.

I'm afraid if this continues,

Young Madam won't be able to recognize you.

If you don't want to help me,

go back.

My Lord,

it's not that I don't want to help you.

We won't get any benefit if we handle the case properly.

It'll be our fault if we can't handle it properly.

Everyone else wants to avoid it.

Why do you insist on handling the case?

Since we've found out the murderer is Willow Leaf Thief Liu,

what does it matter if the murderer

is caught by you or not?

I don't think the murderer is Willow Leaf Thief Liu.

It should be someone else.

Why are you so sure?

Because I read her file before.

Willow Leaf Thief Liu only steals things. She doesn't kill people.

Besides, she was already exposed during the day.

If I were her,

I wouldn't come back to kill people at night.

I didn't expect

that he believes I didn't kill anyone.

Right,

there is her file over there.

Give it to me and I'll take a closer look.

Who is it?

Darling,

I'm worried you're too busy with work,

so I brought you some pastries.

Thank you, Honey.

Put them there. Go back and rest.

Wu Zhao, have one.

Thank you, Young Madam.

These are your favorite mint pastries.

Why don't you eat one first?

Honey, I have work to do.

I'll eat later.

Then I'm putting them here.

Eat them when you finish your work.

Wu Zhao, take this away.

Send Young Madam back.

No need for that.

I can walk myself.

My Lord, what's wrong with you?

Young Madam just delivered pastries here

and you drove her away.

You disappointed her.

You sound like you understand her well.

I'm single.

I don't understand women's hearts.

But I'm slightly better than you.

Cut the crap.

I want all the files over there.

Wait.

Give it to me.

She has gone to bed?

She's gone to bed already?

♫The night was so quiet, with only the moonlight left♫

♫Lanterns were sunk in sleep under the eave♫

♫I looked into your eyes and forgot to speak♫

♫Love gradually grows♫

♫I fell in love quietly at this moment♫

♫My cheeks turned red secretly♫

♫The song you played♫

♫Has become what I miss in the twinkling of an eye♫

♫Like flowers in the wind♫

♫Falling down from the sky♫

♫I stayed in my memory♫

♫If you were the world♫

♫I'd be willing to be the sunset glow♫

Today's mint pastries...

♫Turning the sunset into sweet words♫

are quite delicious.

♫Showing you romance like flowers♫

♫I miss you so much♫

♫I'm recalling the years when I had you♫

♫I think about nothing else♫

♫But growing old with you♫

Where's the quilt?

It was aired yesterday.

They took it to air it again today?

I was kind enough to deliver pastries to you,

but you gave me the cold shoulder.

You ungrateful man, I'll freeze you to death.

Let's see if you dare to bully me again.

Young Master, Young Madam,

have you gone to bed?

Old Madam suddenly wants to have black fruit tea.

She asked me to get it for her.

I'm... coming in.

Young Master, Young Madam.

I've found the tea.

I'm leaving.

I'm going back first.

Young Master, Young Madam,

it's cold.

I brought you a hot-water bottle.

Young Master, Young Madam,

while it's still hot,

I'm going to put it in your bed.

You don't need to get up.

I'm going to put it in for you.

Don't move.

Lie down.

Xiao Qiu will come back again.

Young Master, Young Madam,

I forgot to tell you just now.

If the hot-water bottle gets cold,

you can just kick it out.

I'll collect it in the morning.

Call me if anything happens.

♫Hands over the sadness♫

♫Tears fall like stars at that moment♫

♫The grass and trees seem weathered and worn too♫

I don't think Xiao Qiu will come back again.

♫We gaze at each other, distant as mountains and wide as rivers♫

♫When will old ones glance back?♫

♫In this worldly dance, parting brings so much bitterness♫

♫We can't be together♫

♫Yearning floods like a river♫

♫Who's right and who's wrong?♫

♫There's no right or wrong in this world♫

♫We're strangers, but we're on different sides♫

♫Amidst the tumult of life's fireworks♫

♫I'll land on your heart even if I have to keep circling♫

♫Who made an honest mistake?♫

♫The world is painful♫

♫Without you, what's the point of having the world in my hands?♫

♫When can we meet again?♫

♫I'd rather spend the rest of my life with you♫

♫The sea of love is too desolate♫

♫And life is full of ifs and maybes♫

♫The colorful clouds are like fragments♫

♫But I hope we'll be together in the end♫

♫When will old ones glance back?♫

♫In this worldly dance, parting brings so much bitterness♫

♫We can't be together♫

♫Yearning floods like a river♫

♫Who's right and who's wrong?♫

♫There's no right or wrong in this world♫

♫We're strangers, but we're on different sides♫

♫Amidst the tumult of life's fireworks♫

♫I'll land on your heart even if I have to keep circling♫

♫Who made an honest mistake?♫

♫The world is painful♫

♫Without you, what's the point of having the world in my hands?♫

♫When can we meet again?♫

♫I'd rather spend the rest of my life with you♫

[Peaceful Residence]

Rong,

try it now.

I specially asked a chef

to cook this Five-Treasure Stew for you.

It's very delicious.

You may leave. Wait for me outside.

-Yes, Young Master. -Yes, Young Master.

Rong, come. Have a seat.

Here.

Try it now.

Brother,

have you found out what I asked you to investigate?

It's not important.

Take a bite first.

Try it and then I'll tell you.

Hurry.

Is it delicious?

Yes. Tell me now.

I'm a young master.

I run errands for you every day

and buy things for you.

Do you really treat me as a servant?

Just tell me.

Why are the men of the Zichen Department

so useless?

They haven't found any clue yet.

How can they solve this case?

They don't have a choice.

I'm not eating.

You didn't find any clue, right?

Who didn't?

Of course I did.

I ran around

and gave them a lot of gifts

to help you find this clue.

Don't forget my kindness.

I won't.

Go ahead.

I specially asked the Imperial Guards.

On the day Lord Hu and his wife were killed,

someone found bloodstains in the room

next to Lord Hu's bedroom.

But the bloodstains...

Guess what?

They disappeared the next day.

On the day Lord Hu and his wife were killed,

someone found bloodstains in the room

next to Lord Hu's bedroom.

But they disappeared the next day.

That means someone wants to cover it up deliberately.

[High-minded spirit and pure action]

You're right.

Honey, what's on your mind?

Why are you back?

You always

stayed in the Zichen Department.

Didn't you go on duty today?

I've been resting at home these days.

I can also take the chance to accompany my wife.

Brother,

tell him

what you've found out.

Tell him what?

What you just told me.

No.

Why should I tell him?

Are you going to tell him or not?

No.

Fine, I'm going to tell him.

My brother asked a friend to ask around.

He said

on the wedding day of Lord Hu,

there were bloodstains in the room

next to Lord Hu's bedroom.

Bloodstains?

Why is it not recorded in the file?

Why?

The bloodstains were wiped away on purpose.

That means someone doesn't want it to be recorded.

Is this information reliable?

Of course.

I asked the Imperial Guards personally

and got this information.

Brother, thank you for collecting information for me.

I didn't do it for you.

My sister asked me to do it.

How could I refuse her?

I thank you on behalf of my husband,

Brother.

Zhen, I'm leaving.

I'll leave the dish here.

Only you can eat it.

You can't give it to anyone else.

Brother, goodbye.

Bye.

I'm not going to walk you out then.

Honey.

Why did you ask Brother to collect information for me?

I saw you have nothing to do at home.

So I want to find something for you to do.

Then...

The dish is a little cold.

I'm going to heat it.

This is rouge.

How could rouge appear at this location?

You go over there. I'll go over there.

[Xue's Butcher Shop]

Boss.

Can you make this kind of hidden weapon?

No.

Why are you asking?

I accidentally saw it and think it's interesting.

Have you seen this before?

No.

Leave if you don't want to make a tool.

Can't you see I have a lot of things to do here?

Sorry.

Be careful on the way.

[Liu's Blacksmith Shop]

Go.

My Lord.

Ask some men of the Zichen Department to come here.

After dark,

take the boss back to the blood prison to interrogate him.

But be careful.

Don't make any noise.

Got it, My Lord.

Darling.

Darling.

You are here.

I'm worried you'll catch a cold since you stayed outside for too long,

so I brought you some hot tea.

Thank you.

How's the case investigation going?

It's cold.

You should go back.

Don't give me that.

I'm not cold.

You should thank me.

I asked Jinning

to help you find clues.

Thank you, Honey.

Can I ask now?

How is the case investigation going?

No.

How come you just don't understand?

What did you say?

I said how come you just don't understand.

Do you think I really want to know

about your case?

I just want to take the chance to chat with you

and communicate with you

to improve our relationship.

My bad.

What do you want to talk about?

Let's talk now.

How is the case investigation going?

You're talking about the case again.

What you do every day is investigating cases.

If I want to talk to you,

what else can we talk about except cases?

I haven't found any clue

for this case yet.

But even if I have,

I can't tell you because it's official business.

I'm going to the study.

He's fobbing me off again.

Why is it so hard

to get any information from him?

It's cold.

You're back.

Didn't you go to the study?

I came back to get something.

Right,

go to bed early.

Is that

the clue he has found?

I think

I've seen this somewhere before.

Could it be... in Watermill?

Looks like my name

will be cleared soon.

[Pharmacy]

I didn't see anything.

I'm blind.

-Someone! -It's me.

Junior,

why are you here?

You can just come.

Why are you wearing a mask?

It's my occupational habit.

Junior,

Master has taken back your title

of Willow Leaf Thief Liu.

But there is no need to take revenge like this, right?

You picked the lock and broke the door.

If Master finds out,

she definitely will punish you again.

What revenge?

Look at this.

What is this?

I saw this weapon

on the weaponry brochure.

Do you know its background?

The murderer used this

to kill Lord Hu.

I really don't know.

Senior.

You always frown when you lie.

Did I frown?

Yes.

Junior,

your title has been taken back.

Why are you still investigating this?

You're not a member of the Zichen Department.

Of course I should investigate it.

If I don't,

I can't prove I'm innocent.

If I can't prove I'm innocent,

how can I get my title back?

Do you have the heart to see me lose my title?

You don't.

Junior,

Master has given the order.

Watermill is not allowed

to intervene in Lord Hu's case.

Then do you have the heart to see me

suffer in Xu's Mansion?

Let's not talk about whether I can complete the task first.

Even if I can complete the task by luck,

how can I gain a foothold in the martial world

if I can't get my title back?

Are you really not going to help me?

It's not that I don't want to help you.

This matter is very important.

I can't help you.

Go back.

Fine. Since you won't help me,

I'll investigate it myself.

Junior, what are you doing?

I'll take this book back.

If Master asks,

just tell her I snatched it,

so she won't blame you.

Junior, stop it.

It's all Watermill's secret codes

in this weaponry brochure.

No one can understand them

except me and Master.

It doesn't matter.

If I can't understand, I'll further study them.

If I still can't understand,

I'll ask Xu Muchen for help.

The Zichen Department is knowledgeable anyway.

I'm sure he knows.

You can't do that.

I have no choice.

Junior,

what do you want to know?

I'll tell you.

That's more like it.

Senior, have a seat.

Sit.

Here.

This is it.

What does it say?

It says

this is the exclusive secret weapon of Hei Limao.

It's called Ziwu Chain Dart.

Hei Limao?

Hei Limao

is one of the best martial artists in the martial world.

He has killed numerous people.

He's very ruthless.

He is not a person to be trifled with.

[Exclusive weapon: Ziwu Chain Dart]

Hei Limao.

It's really you.

My Lord.

How did it go? Have you found anything?

According to the clue given by the boss,

I got information in the black market.

Two years ago, Hei Limao bought a mansion

in the back mountain of Wanfo Temple.

It's always been closed and strangers are not allowed to approach it.

It's very likely that he's hiding there.

Go.

Go to the Zichen Department and assemble our men.

Deploy them around Hei Limao's mansion.

But Lord Gu...

If we can catch him,

tell our men not to mention me,

so that they can be rewarded with some money.

But if...

There is no if. Go now.

Yes, My Lord.

You've been suspended, yet you're still thinking about the case.

Can you take a break?

And you, Zhen.

You're absent-minded too.

What is on your mind?

I'm thinking

about what happened to Lord Hu a few days ago.

I feel unsettled after hearing about it.

I want to go to Wanfo Temple tomorrow

to get a peace talisman for you and Muchen.

Indeed.

You are a girl.

It's normal for you to be scared after hearing about it.

You're very thoughtful.

Chen is on leave these days.

Let him go with you.

How can I investigate Hei Limao

if he goes with me?

No need for that.

I can go by myself.

Muchen is on leave.

He can take a rest.

Honey,

you said Wanfo Temple just now, right?

Yes.

That's great.

I'll go with you.

I also want to go out for a walk.

No, bro.

This is not the time

for you to show your love.

Okay.

It would be better if you go with me.

[Wanfo Temple]

[Wanfo Temple]

You don't have to follow us.

Just wait here.

Yes.

[Wanfo Temple]

[Tianwang Hall]

Does he really want

to pray with me?

I have to get rid of him.

Honey.

I'm really sorry.

I'm supposed to pray with you,

but I have something urgent to do.

I have to go.

It's okay.

Go do your things.

I made an appointment with Ms. Wang to pray.

It'll take a while.

Okay.

Wait for me in the temple.

[Wanfo Temple]

Show yourselves.

Willow Leaf Thief Liu?

Why is he here?

Hei Limao,

why did you frame me?
