[My Wife is A Thief]

[Episode 13]

Moyan the suspect

is related to cases pertaining to Lord Hu

and the envoy of the Nanxiang Kingdom.

Each concerns the government.

It is naturally our responsibility to interrogate him.

How can the incapable Zichen Department interfere?

But these two cases

were all solved by us.

You...

These two cases

should have been handled by the Ministry of Justice.

The Zichen Department exercised long-arm jurisdiction.

It was beyond your duties.

I can let bygones

be bygones.

But I have to

take Moyan away.

You are not allowed.

Lord Gu.

[Zichen Department]

You...

What are you doing?

It's just a case.

Is it necessary for you to draw swords?

Put them down!

Gongyang Maocai.

Give me back my token.

He Wei.

Yes.

Go get him.

Yes.

Gongyang Maocai.

Xu Muchen.

What are you doing?

Put your swords down.

Put your swords down!

Lord Gongyang.

Look.

Why are you still holding swords?

Put them down.

Put them down.

That's right.

Lord Gongyang.

Please come in.

Let's talk over tea, okay?

Come, please.

Stop!

[Zichen Department]

Under the order of Lord Gongyang and Lord Xu,

I am here to take Moyan with me.

[Zichen Department]

Come with me.

Lord Gongyang.

Help yourself.

Please have some tea.

Young people nowadays

are really impressive.

You are all devoted to your duties.

You are all passionate.

When it comes to solving a case,

you become very ambitious.

You work much harder

than me when I was your age.

As the saying goes, the new replace the old.

Lord Gu, you are too eloquent

for the young to catch up.

I'm flattered.

Have some tea.

Moyan, rise.

The Ministry of Justice is going to interrogate you.

I didn't expect the Ministry of Justice

would like to spend time on a nobody like me.

I wonder if it's my honor.

He Wei.

He fainted.

Oh no.

Someone broke into the prison!

-I will... -Someone broke into the prison!

Let go of Mrs. Xu!

What happened?

Let go of Mrs. Xu!

What happened?

Who dared to break into the prison?

Honey.

Why are you here?

My Lord.

Young Madam came for you just now.

Sorry for

failing to protect Young Madam.

Calm down.

Let my wife go first.

Xu Muchen.

If you want Mrs. Xu to live,

tell your men to put down their swords.

How dare you!

Xu Muchen.

Are you letting the intruder go

for your own selfish desire?

Xu Muchen.

Calm down.

Calm down.

Put it down.

Put down your swords.

Hurry!

Why is he wearing the official robe of the Ministry of Justice?

Why did they break into the prison

when you were here to transfer Moyan?

Give me an explanation.

I don't know either.

Xu Muchen.

You're bending the law.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

Honey.

The ecstatic smoke has a strong delayed effect.

Am I right, darling?

You didn't say anything after making up to me.

Forget it if you don't want to talk.

I don't think it's a big deal that I hindered you from catching Willow Leaf Thief Liu.

She is so powerful

and resourceful.

What could I do?

I really can't remember.

Maybe next time.

Sorry.

What did you say?

A few days ago when I was solving a case,

you were kidnapped by bandits.

You were in danger again

because of me last night.

It's all my fault.

The ecstatic smoke has a strong delayed effect.

Am I hallucinating?

Honey.

Don't worry about me

if something similar happens in the future.

Willow Leaf Thief Liu

is less important than you.

But you are a chief constable.

What can be more important

than catching thieves?

You are the most important.

Are you saying that my father will blame you

if you put me in danger?

No.

Are you afraid that my brother will trouble you?

No.

Then you...

Honey, take a good rest.

I'm going to the Zichen Department.

I'll be right back.

Xu Muchen, wait.

Are you...

What?

Nothing. You may leave now.

Is he really in love with me?

[Zichen Department]

Lord Gu.

Wu Zhao, get some water for me.

Yes, Lord Gu.

Lord Gu, you are back.

How is it?

Not good.

I had a fierce argument with them.

They said

the suspect was taken away from here,

so we must take the responsibility.

They said if we couldn't solve the case within ten days,

I would be demoted.

Isn't it obvious

that they're giving me a hard time?

If it weren't for Gongyang Maocai,

Moyan wouldn't have been taken away so easily.

Why didn't they mention it?

They always have double standards.

In my opinion, Gongyang Maocai

aims at you in every aspects.

That's all?

Yes, that's all.

By the way, they also mentioned Willow Leaf Thief Liu.

Willow Leaf Thief Liu?

Yes.

They said it was Willow Leaf Thief Liu who broke into the prison.

That makes sense.

Hei Limao killed Lord Hu's family.

Later, he committed suicide by taking poison

which was made by Moyan.

It's upon valid evidence.

I think

the key to solving the case

lies in the herbs

used to make Butterfly's Love.

It seems that this is the only clue

we can find.

No matter what,

you and Wu Zhao keep investigating.

Young Madam, you're finally awake.

Young Master

was here with you for the whole night.

Here.

Have some hot snow fungus soup.

Have some.

Have some.

Xiao Qiu, take a seat.

I have something to tell you.

Here's the thing.

There's a maid

called Rong in my mansion.

Do you know her?

No.

Young Madam.

How could I know anything about your family?

You're right.

It doesn't matter.

Anyway, Rong

has a grudge against a butler

in my mansion.

They quarrel every day.

One day, the butler

changed his tune all of a sudden

and became considerate.

Rong panicked.

She didn't know what to do.

So she asked me what she should do.

What do you think?

Why did Rong panic?

Doesn't she have feelings for that butler?

Does she?

I don't think it's right to deny it.

I see.

She hasn't realized that she is in love.

What? In love?

You are talking nonsense.

What do you mean?

Aren't we talking about Rong?

Why are you so anxious?

I... I...

I want you to offer some suggestions to her,

rather than jumping to conclusions.

How about this?

Let Rong find quarrel in a straw

to provoke him,

torture him,

and finally insult him.

See what his reactions will be.

Xiao Qiu.

Maybe I didn't make it clear.

The butler is ill-tempered.

He's distant

but good at martial arts.

He's not easy to deal with.

That's great.

If he won't give up on Rong

after being treated like that,

that means he is really in love with Rong.

I see.

I'll ask Rong to torture him.

No.

Not only torture,

but also insult him.

Okay, got it.

Go back to your work.

Yes.

[Elegant Residence in Spring Sunshine]

Ill-tempered, distant and not easy to deal with.

The man that Young Madam described

has something in common with Young Master.

[High-minded spirit and pure action]

Young Master.

What are you doing?

Young Master.

You'd better have a look yourself.

Young Master.

Young Madam.

Have a look.

Move the red one a little to the left.

To the left.

Okay.

Be careful.

Don't overturn the vase.

Okay.

So beautiful.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Go on with your work.

Yes.

Go on. Go on.

Move it a little bit backwards.

Okay.

Darling.

Are you satisfied?

It has nothing to do with me.

You may leave.

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

You may leave now.

Are you not satisfied?

I am satisfied.

That's great.

Plants fill the room

with vigor.

But why did you do that?

No special reason.

I'm in a bad mood today,

so I want to rearrange the layout.

There's no enough daylighting at my dressing table.

So I moved it here.

Good job.

My files should be in...

Of course in the study.

Don't you know that?

They are clearing the warehouse today

so that my study is occupied.

Clearing the warehouse?

I don't know.

What should we do?

Since you like this room,

I'll find some space near the wardrobe instead.

Wait.

It has become my bathroom.

Good.

Very good.

I can sit here.

I am eating here.

The ink on your files smells awful.

Stay away from me.

Yes.

You're right.

I'll find another suitable place.

I've found it for you.

Come here.

The table. Books.

It's spacious and convenient for you to get changed.

What do you think?

Good.

You chose a good place for me.

Why didn't I think of it?

Very good.

Nice place.

Nice place?

Young Master.

Young Madam is waiting for you to have a meal at the pavilion.

Okay, I'll be there soon.

Honey.

Xiao Qiu told me you wanted to see me.

Darling.

Have a seat.

We won't eat with Mother today.

I made you some new dishes.

I want you to have a try.

You just recovered.

You shouldn't have tired yourself like this.

It's fine.

As long as you eat up,

I'll be satisfied.

Of course.

You are good at cooking.

I'll surely eat everything up.

Bring the dishes here.

Let's get started.

Honey.

This is...

This is braised intestines with stinky tofu.

What about the other one?

Fried mint leaves with spicy sauce.

Protein and vitamins.

I'm not hungry.

Why don't we try them another day?

No.

You're busy all day.

I have to reward you.

Actually, I'm not that busy.

You just said you could eat it all.

Are you going to

eat your words?

Delicious.

Come on.

You didn't even chew.

You need to taste it carefully.

Try it again.

Try it.

How's the taste?

Zhen.

Brother, what brings you here?

I heard you were poisoned by the ecstatic smoke

and were kidnapped by Willow Leaf Thief Liu yesterday.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Xu Muchen.

Is this how you take care of my younger sister

who married you?

Let me tell you.

I'll decide on behalf of my father today.

My sister will divorce you.

Let's go, Zhen.

I'll take you to have something delicious.

I...

Xu Muchen, what are you doing?

Let go of her!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Zhen.

Brother, stop it.

It wasn't his fault.

Not his fault?

If he hadn't been a loser

who is still in the Zichen Department

and deals with bandits

every day,

there wouldn't have been so much trouble.

It's wrong to say so.

He's devoted to solving cases.

It takes time for him to get promoted.

If all the officials were like him,

there would be no bandits.

What?

Zhen.

Why are you defending him now?

Fine, let's not talk about him.

Let's talk about the Xu family.

No matter what you eat or use here,

which can be a match for what it is in our family?

Come with me.

I'll take care of you.

Jinning.

My family is not on a par with

the Duke's family.

But we have never treated Jinzhen poorly.

Don't mention the divorce anymore.

You dare to say you haven't treated her poorly?

Here, take a look.

What are these dishes?

They look like animal feed.

This is abuse,

if not poor treatment.

Brother.

I made these dishes.

You made these?

Then I need to have a try.

You're indeed my sister.

You're good at cooking.

Delicious.

Of course.

What she cooks

is perfect in color, fragrance and taste.

Jinzhen.

Thank you for this meal.

I haven't eaten yet.

Delicious.

I'm hungry too.

Delicious.

Delicious.

Delicious.

Delicious.

Seems I didn't cook enough.

Perfect in color, fragrance and taste.

Mouth-wateringly delicious.

Since you like it so much,

do you want to have some more?

Jinzhen.

It occurred to me

that I had something to deal with.

I'll come here to see you next time.

Do you want more?

I told Rong your suggestions.

And then?

She followed everything you said,

like provoking,

insulting and torturing him.

What happened?

That guy is usually grumpy.

But this time he was not angry at all.

Do you think

he wants something else from Rong?

What can he want from Rong?

A maid doesn't earn much.

Are you indicating that I treat you badly?

Stop eating.

Give me...

Give Rong more suggestions.

More suggestions?

Got one.

You may ask Rong to write a letter

under someone else's name,

saying he has admired Rong for a long time

and wants to ask Rong out

at midnight.

She needs to create opportunities

for the butler to read the letter.

If he

goes to the place mentioned in the letter,

that means he really likes Rong.

What if he doesn't go?

Then it means

he doesn't like Rong.

That's a good idea.

Bring me

those storybooks.

Why do you want the storybooks?

I want to read them.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

Okay.

I'll get them for you.

[Beautiful Flowers]

[Everlasting]

[Unforgettable Love]

[The Eternal Love]

We'll have a romantic date at dusk,

willows drifting in the breeze.

It's so cringy.

Midnight is an ideal time

for one to commit arson and murder.

What is this?

Half past seven.

[Half past seven at Chang An]

See you at Chang An Bridge. Be there or be square.

Mr. Liu.

[See you at Chang An Bridge at half past seven. Be there or be square. It's up to you to show up or not.]

[To Jinzhen]

[To Jinzhen]

This is to Jinzhen.

I can't read it without her permission.

She left the letter on the table.

Obviously, she trusted me that I wouldn't read it without her permission.

I can't let her down.

Half past seven.

See you at Chang An Bridge. Be there or be square.

It's up to you to show up or not.

Mr. Liu.

Young Master.

Young Madam is urging you to have dinner.

Old Madam has been waiting for a long time.

I'll be right there.

Chen, come and join us.

Zhen

asked the cook to make these delicacies.

Eat more.

Okay, Mother.

Xiao Qiu.

Xiao Dong said he put a letter for me

on my desk.

Can you bring it to me?

Yes, Your Ladyship.

Mother.

I have a bad memory.

I have an appointment with Wu Zhao at the restaurant at 7 p.m.

I can't leave him there alone.

Please go ahead with the dinner.

Zhen.

Do you have an appointment too?

Sit down and eat with me.

Xu Ning.

♫Hands over the sadness♫

♫When will old ones glance back?♫

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

Liu Rong.

Why are you so excited?

Look at you.

Can you be more reserved?

♫Who's right and who's wrong?♫

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

He went out.

Why am I so happy?

♫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♫

He went out!

♫Who made an honest mistake?♫

♫The world is painful♫

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

♫How long until we meet again?♫

It's been a long time.

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

Is he that stupid?

He won't just wait there, will he?

♫The sea of love is too desolate♫

♫And life is full of ifs and maybes♫

He's quite persistent.

♫The colorful clouds are like fragments♫

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

Did he dress warmly?

Will he keep waiting until I show up?

♫When can we meet again?♫

I don't think so.

I'll sleep now.
