[My Wife is A Thief]

[Episode 10]

Don't move.

Xu Muchen.

If we just hang here, neither of us can get out.

Let's work together to get out of here.

Okay.

I'll count to three,

and then throw you out.

One, two.

Three.

Get me out!

Answer my questions

and I'll help you get out.

What questions?

Did you kill

Lord Hu's whole family?

I'm a thief.

I only steal. I don't kill people.

Then why were you in Hu's Mansion that day?

I was asked

to steal something there.

Who asked you to steal there?

Someone paid me to steal there.

It's a rule that we

don't ask about the identities of those who pay us to steal.

Are you done?

One last question.

How did you get

the lock charm on you?

How come he knows about the lock charm?

You won't tell me?

I bought it at a street shop.

If you're interested in it,

I can give you one.

She wasn't the girl who saved me back then?

Have you ever been to Taizhou?

Have you ever saved a little boy from the flood there?

No.

Lord Xu, are you done?

If you keep asking me questions,

both of us will die here.

My Lord.

He committed suicide by taking poison.

My Lord.

I found this letter in Hei Limao's residence.

[I'll kill all the corrupt officials in the world. I'll have no regrets after I avenge my brother.]

I asked someone to check the old archives.

Lord Hu sentenced Hei Limao's younger brother to death by hanging

on the day when his brother got married.

He must have hated Lord Hu for that

so he chose to kill Lord Hu

on the day when Lord Hu's daughter got married.

My Lord.

Anything suspicious?

I'm not sure.

I feel there is something suspicious about the case.

Guys.

Take the corpse back to Zichen Department first.

Yes.

Take him away.

Yes.

Yes.

Hold my hand. Don't let go.

From now on, always wear this.

Then even if we drift apart,

I'll recognize you when I see this one day.

Let's make a pink swear.

Buddha, please bless us.

I hope she's still alive,

safe and happy now.

If she is really a thief now,

I will make her quit being one and get her to do good deeds.

Please don't punish her for what she did.

Just punish me.

This is my way to repay her for saving my life.

[Dhyana]

[Buddha]

[Compassion and Peace]

Ms. Wang.

Greetings, Lord Xu.

Why are you here alone?

Where is my wife?

I invited her to come to the temple with me

and I intended to ask her to live in the house at the back mountain with me.

But Young Madam suddenly said

she had a headache

and wanted to have a rest in the Buddhist chamber.

She said she would wait for you there.

Thank you, Ms. Wang.

Honey.

Didn't I ask you to wait for me in the Buddhist chamber?

Why did you come back alone?

What kind of husband are you?

You promised that you and Zhen would go to temple and pray together.

Where did you go?

You left her alone in the temple.

Do you know

Zhen was not feeling well today

but she insisted on going because she didn't want to let you down?

But you

left her alone in the mountain.

I waited there until it was dark.

Almost all the pilgrims left at that time.

It was not safe for a young girl to travel at night.

So I came back in advance.

I told you to wait for me in the temple

because I would go and pick you up.

How could you go down the mountain on your own?

What if you got in danger?

So you know it was dangerous.

Do you know

Zhen was almost kidnapped by bandits today?

If she hadn't been saved by a kind person,

how would I explain to the Su family?

Forget it, Mother.

It's all over.

I'm fine.

You met bandits?

Mother.

I'm a little tired.

I'm going to bed.

I don't want to blame you,

but how could you treat Zhen that way?

You left her alone in the mountain.

When she was in danger in the mountain,

she didn't know what to do.

How could you be so careless?

Mother.

I was working today.

Working?

You have been suspended.

How come you had work to do?

Besides,

no work is more important than ensuring her safety.

I can tell

Zhen really loves you.

Don't let her down.

I won't.

Sleeping so early?

Are you angry with me?

What are you doing?

Honey, what's wrong?

Did you get hurt?

No.

But just now...

Can't you tell I have a stomachache now?

Stomachache?

Did you catch a cold when you went down the mountain.

Are you interrogating a criminal?

Stop asking me questions.

Do you have anything else to do here?

If not, just leave.

But why do you have a stomachache now?

I'm sorry

for leaving you alone in the mountain today.

I'm sorry

that I didn't notice that you were sick today.

It's my fault.

Good for you to realize your mistakes.

But you shouldn't have begun to go down the mountain

before I went back to you.

So you think I deserved the bad luck?

I mean, as a rich lady,

you can easily be targeted by villains.

And you have no self-defense skills.

Those bad people can kidnap you easily.

You're saying I deserved the bad luck

and I was stupid.

I don't mean that.

But you can't...

If you have nothing else to say, just shut up.

I want to sleep now.

Are you hungry now?

No.

I think

the cakes sent by my brother

will go stale if I don't eat them now.

I'll get them for you.

One last question.

How did you get the lock charm on you?

From now on, always wear this.

Then even if we drift apart,

I'll recognize you when I see this one day.

Is he the boy?

Young Master.

Why are you in the kitchen?

Are you hungry?

How about I cook something for you?

No, thanks.

By the way.

Where are Young Madam's favorite cakes?

They are in the cabinet behind you.

Let me get them for you.

No need.

Okay, Young Master.

I had a fever last night.

In order to take care of me,

he slept on the floor all night.

He always pretends to be cold.

But he's actually quite considerate.

[Zichen Department]

Mr. Guan.

I should thank you

for blessing Zichen Department.

We have solved such a big case.

And we've been reinstated now.

Thank you.

And...

I hope you can get me to be promoted soon,

because if not, I'll retire soon.

Please bless me.

Good job, guys.

You not only caught Hei Limao

but also solved Lord Hu's case.

I decided to give you

an extra month's salary.

Thank you, Lord Gu.

Okay.

Go back to your work.

Man, good for you.

You look great in the official uniform.

Lord Gu.

I still think

there is something suspicious about Lord Hu's case.

Aren't the findings the same as what you predicted?

The murderer was found there.

Why do you feel there is still something suspicious?

Those clues were exactly what we needed and the evidence was so complete.

This is so strange.

So I think...

So,

you think there's more to it than meets the eye.

Yes.

You have a point.

I agree with you.

Since you're reinstated,

keep investigating this case carefully.

Okay.

And

I talked to Miss Hu the other day.

I think

she still doesn't trust me.

She seemed to be hiding something from me

when she was talking to me.

How about this?

When nobody pays attention to the case,

talk to her

if you see her again.

Okay.

Rong, try them.

I asked people to buy these early this morning.

What's wrong?

Were the cakes bought from the shop I usually go to?

Yes.

I always buy the cakes there.

How come this one doesn't taste as good as those I ate this morning?

What are you thinking?

Nothing.

Here, this is for you.

This ointment

should be better than yours.

Rong.

Don't be so rash next time.

It was so dangerous.

It's not necessarily a bad thing

that Watermill took that title from you.

Just be a good girl

and focus on being the daughter of the Su family.

When nobody pays attention to those things anymore,

you and Xu Muchen go get divorced

and we'll leave the city and travel around the world.

Isn't that good?

Why did you have to get involved in those cases?

Do you know how hard it was for me

to get Master to make me

Willow Leaf Thief Liu?

How can I give up that title so easily?

What's so good about being Willow Leaf Thief Liu?

You got hurt a lot because of it.

Of course it's good to be Willow Leaf Thief Liu.

In the eyes of the people,

Willow Leaf Thief Liu is a heroine who robs the rich to help the poor.

Okay, okay.

You're a heroine.

You're the best.

It's getting late.

I have to go back.

Thank you for your ointment.

What would you like to eat tomorrow?

Well...

How about fried stinky tofu?

No problem.

By the way,

I remember you like durians.

I've asked my servants to go south

to transport them here as soon as possible.

Come and try them when they arrive.

Bye, Rong.

Young Master.

Next time, could you please

not agree to get Her Ladyship everything she asks for?

What she likes

is either foreign specialties

or the famous traditional dishes that few people know how to cook now.

If this keeps going on,

we'll be exhausted.

As long as she wants to eat it,

why not try our best to find it and give it to her?

Yes, you don't need to find it yourself.

We have to do it for you.

What a coincidence.

The evidence is complete.

Their inference also makes sense.

The whole family of the Minister of Revenue was killed.

Those from Zichen Department

solved the case in just three days.

My Lord.

I think Xu Muchen was anxious to

solve the case and show His Majesty that he's able

so he found a scapegoat and tortured him and made him plead guilty.

Let's go.

Let's go to Zichen Department for an autopsy.

This is the false tooth found in Hei Limao's mouth.

Wu Zhao.

My Lord.

What's wrong?

The coroner found a false tooth in Hei Limao's mouth

when he was performing an autopsy.

We smashed it

and found that in the tooth was white powder.

Wu Zhao.

Examine the powder now.

Yes.

Xu Muchen.

Lord Gongyang, it's so late now.

What brings you to Zichen Department?

Zichen Department

closed Lord Hu's case hastily.

The Ministry of Justice is here to review the case.

It's already midnight.

Even if the Ministry of Justice wants to review the case,

you'll have to come tomorrow during our office hours.

It's inappropriate for you

to come to Zichen Department without telling us.

Office hours?

Should I give you the time to cover yourselves

and destroy the evidence?

Fine.

Do what you have to.

Where is Hei Limao's corpse?

It's inside.

The coroner just examined it.

Guards!

Yes.

Take Hei Limao's body back to the Ministry of Justice

and examine it carefully.

Yes.

Has your coroner found anything new?

Yes.

A false tooth was found in Hei Limao's mouth

and inside the tooth is white powder.

Where is the tooth?

It's being examined.

He Wei.

Yes.

You go see

how the examination is going

on behalf of the Ministry of Justice.

Yes.

Xu Muchen.

You'd better wish that I won't find

that it has something to do with you.

Gongyang.

I advise you to spend more time finding the truth

instead of paying attention to me.

Bye.

Xu Muchen.

I'll get you punished sooner or later.

My Lord.

The poison taken by the killer in Hei Limao's case

and the poison taken by the killer in Nanxiang Kingdom's case

have been examined.

Their ingredients are exactly the same.

But most of the herbs that can be used to make that kind of poison

are quite ordinary herbs

that can be bought easily in all pharmacies.

So the poisons are not very important clues.

The most important ingredient of the poisons is Canglin.

It only grows in North Sea.

It's not a herb and it's not very useful.

It can't be found in the capital.

But I didn't give up.

I tasted the poison myself

and smelled the dregs of the decoction.

And I found the poison smelled and tasted fishy.

I found the smell was familiar.

My Lord, guess what?

Don't make me guess. Tell me.

Okay.

I thought hard

and then it occurred to me that

the smell was very much like that of Butterfly's Love,

an aphrodisiac

that is the most popular in Liufang Pavilion.

The pharmacist examined Butterfly's Love

and found Canglin in it.

Am I smart?

You're really good.

Of course.

More compliments?

Are you interested in Liufang Pavilion?

I read about Butterfly's Love in a storybook.

In a storybook?

The crucial ingredient of that highly toxic poison

is also the ingredient of an aphrodisiac.

I bet Zichen Department will never notice this.

This time,

we're going to win.

[A small amount of white powder in the right premolar is toxic.]

[A small amount of white powder was found on the right premolar.]

[A small amount of white powder was found on the right premolar.]

[A small amount of white powder in the right premolar is toxic.]

The poison that Hei Limao took

is the same as the poison taken by the killer

in the case of the envoy of the Nanxiang Kingdom.

Could the two cases

be planned by the same organization?

Looks like Lord Hu's case

is not as simple as it seems.

I wonder if Willow Leaf Thief Liu

has anything to do with this organization.

What is on the ledger she stole

from Hu's Mansion?

One last question.

How did you get the lock charm on you?

How come he knows about the lock charm?

Have you ever been to Taizhou

where you saved a little boy from the flood there?

Thanks to this lock charm,

I had the courage to hang in there and go ashore.

I promised the boy who had given me the lock charm

that I would meet him at the dock after we separated.

But from then on,

I've never heard anything about him.

Surprisingly, now I saw him again.

He is now an officer who has been trying to arrest me.

And I accidentally

became his wife.

Wait.

He's an officer and I'm a thief.

I can't expose myself

or let him know

I was the little girl who saved him back then.

[Pharmacy]

Senior.

Is Master here?

Rong.

Why do you want to see Master?

I want her to return Willow Leaf Dart

to me.

Master said

Willow Leaf Dart can't be given to you

for the time being.

The murderer who killed Lord Hu has been founded.

My innocence has also been proven.

Master may have other concerns.

Step aside. I want to see Master.

Wait.

Why are you shouting?

Are you going to let people confiscate Watermill?

Don't say that.

Where is Master? I want to see her.

What are you doing?

Are you going to cry before her

and beg her

to make you Willow Leaf Thief Liu again?

The truth has been found out and my innocence has been proven.

The Willow Leaf Dart should be given back to me.

Rong.

Think about it.

Yes, your innocence has been proven, but so what?

You've got involved in so many incidents.

It shows that you, Liu Rong,

are just incapable of doing anything.

I...

Master won't see you.

Go back and be the Young Madam.

Master said

I would be Willow Leaf Thief from now on.

Here.

[Liufang Pavilion]

My Lord, don't look at me.

I came here for work in the past.

I sacrificed my reputation for work.

Then you do it again today.

My Lord.

[Liufang Pavilion]

Wait.

When the procuress relaxes her vigilance,

we'll get her

to give us Butterfly's Love voluntarily.

Are you being my teacher?

No.

You've never been here before.

Anyway, keep silent after you go inside.

Just cooperate with me.

[Liufang Pavilion]

Who told you to add wine to the dish of Drunken Chicken?

Take it away.

I'm sorry, Young Master.

Yes.

That the dish is named Drunken Chicken doesn't mean you need to add wine to it.

How could she say I was incapable of doing anything?

That's nonsense.

Rong, you're smart and brave.

You never failed

to steal food or drink from my house when you were a kid.

Rong, you're drunk.

Let me take you back to your room so you can have a rest.

How could she say I often embarrassed them

in the name of Willow Leaf Thief Liu?

Nonsense!

Everyone knows Willow Leaf Thief Liu is a heroine

who robs the rich to help the poor.

Here, try this.

I have plenty of money.

You can always rob me.

How could she say I could only go back to Xu's Mansion and be the Young Madam?

How could she look down on me?

She was talking nonsense!

She must be a lunatic.

Wait.

You're not Willow Leaf Thief Liu anymore.

You don't need to continue to complete the mission.

You don't need to stay in the Xu family anymore.

But I...

But what?

Divorce him as soon as possible.

Divorce?

Get out.

Get out.

Sir, let me serve you.

Get out, out.

Don't kick us out, sir.

Your young master is so particular about girls.

Looks like he looks down on Liufang Pavilion.

Madam.

To be honest,

my young master

is impotent.

I see.

I heard that there was something that could help him

at Liufang Pavilion.

You came to the right place.

Wait a moment.

Wu Zhao.

What did you tell her?

Nothing.

This is the best item at Liufang Pavilion.

It's Butterfly's Love.

I'm sure after using it, your young master will be a stud.

Are you sure this is it?

Yes.

Don't worry.

Those pills are not harmful at all.

They'll only help you get a pleasurable sex.

They have no side effects.

Do you make them yourselves at Liufang Pavilion?

Not really.

But we have the exclusive right to sell them.

You can't buy them in any other brothel.

Can you tell me where you bought them?

You must be joking.

These pills

are the signature pills of Liufang Pavilion.

If you want to buy them,

come here and buy them.

How many pills

do you still have?

I sold a batch last time.

There are about 30 pills left.

I want 100 Butterfly's Love pills.

When can you give them to me?

100 pills?

So many?

I can't get enough of them for you right now.

How about this, sir?

Give me three days.

I'll let you have those pills in three days.

Okay, three days then.

But sir.

I have to warn you

that although those pills are good,

but it's bad for your health to take too many of them.

My health?

I said it for your own good.

This is part of the cooperation.

I'll come and get the pills in three days.

Okay.

My good sister, be careful.

Well.

Why are you walking

when we have a carriage at our disposal?

I have a headache from drinking.

So I came out for some fresh air.

What is this place?

Let's go in and drink.

Rong.

You shouldn't go in there.

What's so special about this place?

They won't let me in?

-Let’s go. -Wait.

This is Liufang Pavilion, one of the four biggest brothels in the capital.

[Liufang Pavilion]

It's a happy place for men.

Look.

Only playboys go there and...

My Lord.

Didn't we agree that

you would listen to me when we were inside?

Is that him? Am I wrong?

As long as I can help you get what you want...

I saw him too. Am I wrong?

My Lord, you smell of rouge.

Do you need to take a bath at Zichen Department?

If Young Madam smells it,

she'll be angry with you.

Young Madam?

What? Am I afraid of her?

No, you're not.

Shall we go to a restaurant

to have a drink and dinner now?

Xu Muchen.

What are you doing here?

We...

What are you talking about?

Are you here to have fun together?

No, Young Madam.

Darling, you must have had a good time.

I'm fine.

It's still early. You can stay here all night.

Enjoy yourselves. I'm going home.

Xu Muchen.

You're my brother-in-law.

Shame on you.

You should feel ashamed.

My Lord.

Go and explain to her!

Why?

Don't you know she's always obedient to me at home?

I don't need to explain anything to her.

You're right.

I'll go home first.

My Lord.

Shouldn't we go have a drink?

[Elegant Residence in Spring Sunshine]

You're back...

Young Master.

Is Young Madam not back yet?

She said she would sleep in the room next to this one tonight.

The young master of the Su family went too far.

He spendt too much time with his sister who is married.

In a storybook,

he would be seen as a bad guy

who stops a loving couple from being together.

Young Master.

I've made the bed.

Tell me if you need anything.

It's fine. You may leave.

Yes, Young Master.
