[The Rise of Ning]

[Episode 13]

Rest assured, Young Master.

The disguise this time is good.

Lu Jiaxue's men didn't follow us.

Okay, got it.

Don't look so gloomy.

You'll age quickly.

Besides,

we did make some progress.

Now the leads on the astragalus and peony decoction

have all been cut off.

Where's the progress?

You've eliminated irrelevant leads,

which saves us from wasting time.

Third Brother, considering the motive,

isn't Lady Qiao

the most suspicious?

Yes.

We shouldn't have

let her go so early.

The matter has been buried for a long time.

Even if she stayed in the mansion,

I doubt she'd have told you anything.

With her out of the mansion,

it might be easier to investigate.

But she's the only lead we have.

What do you want to do?

Find Lady Qiao.

[Caifu Garden]

Ruixiang.

Why do I suddenly smell

a fragrant aroma?

Mother.

Yining, you're here.

Why didn't you say anything?

Mother.

I've been sick recently,

so I couldn't come help you manage the accounts.

Now that I'm better,

I can help ease your burden.

You've just recovered and already pushing yourself.

However, the old steward in the mansion

is really not as capable as you.

These past few days have exhausted me.

I've finally managed to sort out

the accounts.

One less thing for me to worry about.

Since you've sorted out

the accounts,

shall we go check on the estate?

We should go.

I'm planning to go soon.

Then please take me with you.

Sure.

I'm planning to

visit the village in the west of the capital.

Why don't we

check out the one in the east too?

No.

Why not?

Lady Qiao is there.

I don't want to see her.

Enough.

At the end of the day,

you just want to see Lady Qiao.

Has she done something

despicable again?

I really can't keep

anything from you.

I have some old matters

I want to ask her about.

If you've suffered any grievances,

you must tell me.

Don't worry.

I'm fine.

That's good.

Alright, I'll let you know

when I'm going.

Eldest Madam and Luo Yining

are going to the estate?

What are they going there for?

They have

already ruined my mom's life.

What more do they want?

Perhaps

they're just checking out the village.

Then why's Luo Yining tagging along?

And why are they insisting on

going to the one in the east?

Well...

Hurry up! Move it!

Why are you dawdling?

Haven't you eaten?

Hurry up!

I'm talking to you!

Hurry up!

If you can't do it,

don't get in the way!

Scram!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

If you can't do the job, get lost!

Faster!

Don't slack off!

Uncle.

Yilian?

Uncle.

I should've visited sooner.

What for?

It's still the same situation.

Uncle, please don't blame me.

Since Mom was flogged fifty strokes

and sent to the estate,

it hasn't been easy for

Xuan and I either.

We can't even have a hot meal

or go out when we want to.

It wasn't easy for us

to save up

this money.

Please keep it for yourself.

We're all close family.

There's no need to say such things.

Speaking of which,

that subordinate of mine

has confessed to all the crimes,

yet the Luo family

still treats you like this.

They're going too far.

Those people at the estate

are used to flattering the powerful and bullying the weak.

They certainly won't treat Mom well.

Mom's even sustained

severe injuries.

I want to check on her at the estate,

but Eldest Madam won't allow it.

Instead, she took Luo Yining there.

I really don't know

what they're up to.

Ridiculous!

Uncle, I'm really afraid

that they might harm Mom.

Luo Yining is really sinister.

She even schemed against you.

I must

settle this score with her.

Listen.

Go back

and make sure Xuan studies hard.

Only if he passes the imperial exam

will we have hope.

Alright,

leave this matter to me.

But...

That's enough.

I need to get to work.

My Lady.

We should hurry back to the mansion.

Yes, we should get ready

to leave for the estate.

My Lady, should we do that?

What if we're discovered?

We'll go and come back quietly.

If I don't go to the estate to check,

I'll be too worried about Mom.

Third Brother, let's just

stick to what we agreed on,

a page of characters a day.

Three pages. Don't be lazy.

Then let's meet halfway.

How about...

two pages a day?

It's settled, then.

By the way,

Mother is going to the estate soon.

I'll go with her

to see Lady Qiao.

Lady Qiao hates you to the bone.

Will she be honest with you?

Do you have something planned?

If she has something to hide,

she's bound to slip up somehow.

I'll go with you.

No.

Stay at home and study hard.

Focus on yourself.

This time, I promise

I'll listen to you.

I'll take good care

of myself.

It's settled, then.

Okay,

got it.

Then from now on, it's still three pages a day.

No negotiation.

It's settled, then.

You...

Third Brother.

The new clothes made for you

fit you well.

Thank you, Madam.

All the clothes are just the right size.

Why are you here too?

Didn't I tell you to study hard?

I asked Madam

to bring me here.

When my mother was alive,

she was sent to the village.

Later, her tombstone was erected there.

I'll take this opportunity

to go and visit her.

You are

also a filial child.

You couldn't do it before,

so pay your respects to her properly this time.

Thank you for making this possible.

My Lady.

Yixiu.

My medicine's really effective.

You've really lost weight in just a few days.

Do I still need your medicine?

I eat radish and leaves

every day.

How could I not lose weight?

I'm so dizzy.

Then why don't you

stop taking the medicine for a while?

Too much of anything is bad.

Be careful.

Don't ruin your health.

I'm busy. I'll get going.

Where are you going?

My sister has finally left the mansion.

I need to go out and enjoy myself.

Liuhe Tavern

has many new dishes.

I have to try them.

What new dishes?

Well...

You can't eat them anyway.

Don't ask so many questions.

Hey! Don't go!

Y-You...

Were you just pretending to be dizzy?

You seem just

as strong.

I... I want to go too.

If your mom finds out,

it'd be terrible.

Lian Hong.

Take your lady back now.

Sixth Master.

My Lady hasn't

eaten properly for days.

Yes.

And Mother's been

supervising Shan's homework lately.

She has no time for me.

Besides, I haven't had proper food

for days.

One meal wouldn't hurt,

right?

You two, mistress and servant,

are really

getting bolder and bolder.

Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go.

No way.

Your mom will kill me!

[Liuhe Tavern]

Young Master, you didn't even have breakfast.

Eat up.

Young Master, just now at the mansion,

didn't you say you wanted to eat

dishes from Liuhe Tavern?

Why are you...

I don't feel like eating anymore.

At least have a bite or two.

If you lose any more weight,

the princess will surely punish me.

Then don't tell my mother.

Just say I ate my fill.

Young Master.

How could I lie to the princess?

I can't help it if I have no appetite.

I really don't like this song.

Get her to play something more festive.

Yes.

Miss, please change the song.

Okay.

What would you two like to eat?

So many new dishes?

I'll have a roasted squab,

then some lamb meat,

and a leg of lamb as well.

Stop, stop.

It's all meat.

Do you think I'm made of money?

Waiter.

Just a steamed lamb,

and two plates of fresh vegetables.

Sure.

This way, please.

Here.

The sun must be rising in the west today.

Can I

order some more?

I still want to eat.

I've already said, too much of anything is bad.

Waiter.

Young Master.

send a steamed lamb

to that lady over there.

Okay.

This dish has been served.

Sir, that young gentleman

ordered it for this young lady.

Do you know him?

Don't talk nonsense.

How'd I know any strange men?

Then how can

you eat this?

So what?

It's served by the restaurant.

I'll just

pay him back later if I have to.

Waiter.

Sir.

Bring another steamed lamb.

Return this one to him.

Bring another one.

Hurry, hurry!

Sir, that lady

has returned the dish.

Waiter.

I want all your

specialty dishes

sent to this lady to enjoy.

No thanks.

We're not acquainted

with you.

You can eat whatever

you order.

I'm treating this lady to a meal,

not anyone else.

Watch it!

Well...

thank you for your kind gesture,

but I can't finish

that much anyway.

Moreover,

the key to good food is sharing,

not extravagance and waste.

Waiter,

don't bring the dishes

he ordered.

Yes.

Young Master, shall we forget about it?

May I ask your name

and when you'll come again?

I'd like to treat you to a meal.

Really?

We won't be coming back.

Let's go.

You silly girl,

always be on your guard.

But he doesn't seem

like a bad person.

You're really careless.

Hopeless.

Quarreled with your third brother again?

I can't be bothered to be angry with him.

You're still so childish.

But he never seems to get upset.

You know,

I've hardly

ever seen that boy smile.

Then I'll have to have a good talk with him.

When he sees his mother,

he should smile.

Giddy up!

Giddy up!

Third Brother!

Hold on tight!

Are you alright?

Third Brother!

Are you okay, Mother?

Third Brother!

Quick, get down!

Come on!

Careful.

Mother!

Third Brother!

Are you okay?

Hang in there!

Are you okay?

You scared me to death.

It's alright now.

Don't worry. Everything's fine.

You're hurt.

It's nothing.

How could

there suddenly be a landslide here?

This couldn't have been an accident.

Could Lu Jiaxue have done this?

It wasn't Lu Jiaxue.

If he wanted to kill us,

he need not to go to such lengths.

Besides, when we just set off,

I took the narrow road

and shook them off.

Then who could it be?

Mother, are you still in pain?

No, no, I'm fine. I can walk.

Madam is seriously injured.

She shouldn't walk.

Then let's do this.

We'll have the coachman

go to the village to report

and have them send people to pick us up.

The estate is too far away.

Going back and forth will waste more time.

After dark,

it'll be even more dangerous.

I'll carry you.

Third Brother carrying you like this

reminds me of a story.

What story?

There was

once a scholar

whose mother had difficulty walking.

When he went to school,

he'd carry his mother on his back.

And guess what happened?

This scholar's filial piety

moved the gods,

and he passed every exam.

That's right.

I knew the ending from the beginning.

Anyway, I believe that

maternal love and filial piety

can move anyone, even the gods.

From now on,

you'll be Third Brother's lucky star.

Shenyuan.

You can put me down now.

It's okay, I'm not tired.

Madam Lin.

Madam Lin.

Did something happen on the way?

We knew you should've arrived earlier.

We were so worried.

There was a landslide on our way.

The horse was frightened

and fell off the cliff.

Oh my goodness.

Please hurry and get the physician here.

Yes.

What are you standing there for?

Go get the physician!

-Yes! -Yes!

Please.

Careful.

Hurry up.

Move it.

This way, please.

What are you looking at? Get to work!

-Auntie Qiao. -Work!

Do your own work!

You won't get to eat if you can't finish it!

You always exploited us,

making one person

do the work of three,

and always schemed

to withhold our wages and food.

Have a taste of what it's like!

Get to work!

Behave yourself!

Has her wound healed?

Seventh Miss.

The village isn't like the mansion.

We don't have good physicians

or all medicine available.

The wound probably hasn't healed much.

You reap what you sow.

Let's go.

Please follow me.

Are you no longer angry with me?

You could've just told me directly.

But you had to deceive me

and made me practice calligraphy for days.

Third Young Master.

Your horse is ready.

Good.

What do you need the horse for?

I'm going out for a while.

I'll be back soon.

How can you ride a horse with your hand like that?

It's fine.

Be careful.

I know.

Lady.

Stop, stop unwrapping it.

Lady.

Your wound hasn't healed all this time.

It can't go on like this.

I'll go beg the steward again.

Don't go anymore.

The two of us

are lucky

just to keep our lives.

Besides, Luo Yining

is still in the village.

Lady.

What do you think they're here for?

I don't know either.

We'd better be careful.

Could the landslide in the mountains

be caused by the Fifth...

Keep your voice down.

Lian couldn't have done it alone.

Could it be my younger brother

from my birth family?

Are you saying

it was Master?

That fool

has really caused us

a lot of trouble.

Who is it?

Today, the Madam

and the Seventh Miss are here.

The steward asked you

to go help in the kitchen right away.

We'll be right there.

Let's keep a low profile

around them for now.

Try to have as little contact as possible.

Let's go.

Don't help me, I can manage on my own.

Third Brother.

I've found out everything.

You're finally back.

Where have you been?

Mother was asking about you.

Luckily, I managed to cover for you.

Qingqu,

have someone reheat the food quickly

and bring it here.

Yes.

This time, the danger we encountered

was not only due to the falling rocks from the mountaintop.

The horse was also poisoned,

which is why it went mad

after being startled.

How do you know?

You went down the cliff

to find that horse, didn't you?

That's right.

I hired a local coroner

to examine the horse's carcass.

Moreover, Shao'an told me

that Luo Yilian

secretly sneaked out of the mansion

after we left.

Just her?

How could that be possible?

She has a good uncle, doesn't she?

That Fifth Master Qiao,

after being driven out of the mansion,

harbored a deep hatred

towards you and the Luo family.

With just a little provocation,

he might

really do something.

But if it really was Fifth Master Qiao,

now that he knows we're safe,

wouldn't he

have already fled far away by now?

Don't worry.

I've already sent Shao'an to intercept him.

As for your mother's matter,

how do you plan to ask Lady Qiao?

I was worried

that Auntie Qiao wouldn't tell me the truth.

But now,

with Fifth Sister involved,

I believe she will

definitely lend me a helping hand.

Do you need my help?

Fifth Sister really has arrived.

What have you done to my mom?

Fifth Sister wanted to harm me.

So I brought Auntie Qiao here to ask her some questions.

Isn't that reasonable?

What do you mean by harming you and your mother?

I don't understand what you're talking about.

You're still trying to deny it.

Then why were you sneaking around

the estate?

I... I missed my mom.

I came because I was worried about her injury.

Fine, if that's the case,

Mother is also at the estate.

I'll go tell her right now

that you want to stay here for a long time

to take care of Auntie Qiao.

You...

I'll give you one more chance.

We encountered falling rocks on the way,

and the horse was drugged.

Was it you?

I don't know.

Don't falsely accuse me.

Since this has nothing to do

with Fifth Sister,

then don't blame me for being

unkind to Auntie Qiao.

I really don't know.

It was...

It was Uncle.

It must have been him.

It has nothing to do with me or my mom.

Are you going to tell me or not?

I'll tell you!

I'll tell you.

I was afraid that you might

harm my mom,

so I went to see Uncle.

As for what he was going to do,

I really don't know.

So you're saying

you've already admitted

that you instigated Fifth Master Qiao

to act against us.

Qingqu, get up.

Where's my mom?

Mom, are you alright?

You're really foolish.

Seventh Miss, your visit this time

is not just to

have a hold over Lian, is it?

Auntie Qiao is still so perceptive.

Just say what you want to say.

I want to ask you, Auntie Qiao,

how did my mother die back then?

Didn't she

die of illness back then?

Heaven knows,

although I was jealous of her,

I would never

harm her.

Your mother was a woman of high integrity.

When I learned that

she had become disillusioned with the Second Master,

she was no longer a threat to me.

Why would I go to such lengths?

If you don't tell the truth, Auntie Qiao,

you know very well

what will happen to

Fifth Master Qiao

and her.

Back then, when your mother returned to the Luo's Mansion

and gave birth to you,

the Old Madam tried her best

to reconcile

your parents.

Your father tried to please her once,

but they ended up having a big fight.

Your father was extremely embarrassed.

From then on, he gave up the idea of reconciliation.

Do you think your father

had any genuine feelings for her?

Listening to the Old Madam's words

was just going with the flow.

Talk of reconciliation was just a facade,

what he really had in mind

was your mother's

dowry.

He hoped your mother would pay

to buy him an official position and pave his way.

Father has always been indifferent to my mother.

You don't need to embellish the story here.

Everyone in the household,

from top to bottom, has heard about it.

If you don't believe it,

you can ask around when you return.

But what does this

have to do

with my mother's death?

Whether it does or not,

I really don't know.

I only know that your mother

gave your father

no respect whatsoever.

She said that

everything belonged to you,

and unless she died,

she wouldn't give

your father a single penny.

Not long after,

she died of illness.

You don't need to look at me like that.

Everything I've said is true.

If there's any falsehood,

I swear I won't die a good death.

And neither Lian nor Xuan

would have a good life.

The Second Master will never forgive me.

I won't be leaving this place either

for the rest of my life.

If you really want to know

the cause of your mother's death,

forgive Lian this time.

I believe she will help you in the future.

Qingqu.

Mom,

I heard everything from outside.

Why did you

make such a vicious oath?

What's there to fear?

I wasn't lying either.

She wants to know the truth,

so let them keep watching the drama unfold.

Could it be that Madam Gu

was really harmed by Father...

Don't get involved in this matter.

You sneaking here this time

was a big mistake.

Just focus on taking care of Xuan

and helping him with his studies.

Since Lin Hairu has no children of her own,

and the son of the first household is a good-for-nothing,

the future of the Luo family

will depend on our Xuan.

If he passes the imperial exam,

we will have our day.

Don't worry, Mom.

I know

you care about me,

but now,

we can only endure and wait.

Promise me,

take good care of Xuan, understand?

Rest assured, Mom.

I will definitely take good care of Xuan.

It's alright.

Fifth Master Qiao,

we've been waiting for you for a long time.

Sir, please spare my life!

Answer everything I ask you truthfully,

without leaving out a single detail.

If there's even a hint of a lie,

your head will fall to the ground immediately.

Alright.

How is it going, Third Brother?

Did you catch Fifth Master Qiao?

We did catch him,

but he only admitted to

loosening the rocks.

No matter how much we pressed him,

he kept denying that he poisoned the horse.

Could he be lying?

His life was in Shao'an's hands,

and with all the other charges against him,

there was no need for him to lie about it.

Perhaps

there's a second person involved.

You're worried it might be him?

Auntie Qiao

didn't seem to be lying.

He was indeed cold to her.

If he knew

we were investigating this matter,

would he...

I think

you shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Before we have

concrete evidence,

everything is just speculation.

Yes, he's a selfish man

but also cowardly.

I don't think he would

plot against his own wife and heiress.

I never thought

you'd defend him one day.

I'm not defending him.

I just don't want you to suffer.

Even though you don't get along with him,

he is still your father.

Of course you'd care

whether he's the real culprit or not.

I have to get to the bottom

of this.

What exactly happened

to my mother back then?

Why did the people around her

suddenly disappear without a trace,

changing their names and identities?

And that Mama Zheng,

who trained Qingqu to be by my side,

vanished as well.

What are they hiding?

Don't push yourself too hard.

Indeed, a lot

has happened today.

It's difficult for you to process everything at once.

Get some rest early.

Mother.

Madam Gu said that

your favorite food was osmanthus cake.

I've brought some for you today.

Once again, thank you, Madam.

Shenyuan,

you've suffered a lot all these years.

Let me carry you to the carriage.

No need, I'm feeling much better.

Alright.

I'll go get the horses ready then.

Take good care of Madam.

Mother, that's how Third Brother is.

He's cold on the outside, but kind at heart.

As long as someone treats him well,

he always repays them twofold.

You two are quite alike.

[Danhua Garden]

Mother.

Xiu.

Come here.

Whether you have dinner today

depends entirely on these measurements.

Come on, Sixth Miss.

It's shrunk by an inch.

Really?

You've slimmed down this much?

Not bad.

Keep up the good work.

Although you may not be as elegant and dignified

as your eldest sister,

you've been well-trained

for so many years.

If you slim down a bit more,

and given your status as a heiress,

you'll surely secure a good marriage.

But, Mother,

is everything I'm doing

just for marriage?

Of course.

A woman's beauty and virtue

are what win the favor of her in-laws.

If you can bear a son in the future,

your position will be secure,

and you'll have a worry-free life.

Well...

But shouldn't marriage be about

finding someone I like?

If I don't like him,

seeing him every day will be so annoying.

Besides,

if he likes me,

he shouldn't mind that I'm a bit overweight, right?

Who told you

that you should marry someone you like?

Where did you get such

improper ideas?

The most important thing for a woman

is to secure a good marriage,

with in-laws that she can rely on

and who can also help her father

and brother.

[Marquis of Anbei's Mansion]

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship.

Chen Jiuheng's eldest disciple,

Chen Daoyan has returned to the capital.

Someone spotted him

near Daci Temple.

I was afraid of alerting him,

so I had people secretly surround Daci Temple,

making it impenetrable.

This man has long been at the top of the Imperial City Guard's

wanted list.

He was lucky to escape back then.

I didn't expect he'd dare to come back.

As for Chen Jiuheng's case,

the appeal period is quickly nearing its limit.

It seems some people

are about to lose their composure.

His return is like walking into a trap.

With him here,

we won't have trouble finding

those hiding in the shadows.

Instruct our men

to capture him alive.

Yes.

Shao'an.

Shao'an.

Young Master, you're back.

Quickly, go find Qi'an.

I suspect the Senior Daoyan has returned.

That can't be.

It's impossible for him to come back

without you knowing.

Lu Jiaxue is searching the Daci Temple.

That's where Senior Daoyan

was hiding before.

Come here.

Take a sniff.

How is it?

This fragrant balm is truly amazing.

Even after washing my hands, the scent still lingers.

This one costs 20 coins.

I'll take it.

This rouge from the Sixth Master

is different from what's sold outside.

After using it, my complexion looks fair

and radiant.

Come on.

This small jar of rouge costs 20 coins,

and the large jar costs 100 coins.

I'll let you try the small jar first.

If you like it, come back for the large jar.

Of course,

nothing from me, Lin Mao,

is of poor quality.

In Lin'an,

once these items go on sale,

the streets will be packed with people.

Quick, give it a try!

Come on.

Take a sniff.

It really smells nice.

I'll take this one.

Come on.

I want one too.

Give it a try.

Give me that one.

Hurry up.

Come on, try it.

I'll take these two boxes.

How come they're all gone?

Why are they all sold out so quickly?

Come again next time.

I want this one too.

This one is also good.

How come they're all gone?

They're all sold out.

Indeed.

Come on.

Excuse me.

Come again next time.

Ruixiang,

you should get one too.

I've only been gone for a few days,

and your courage has grown bolder,

hasn't it?

Didn't I tell you to stay at home

and study hard for the exam?

Sister.

Sister? What Sister?

Ouch.

Be gentle.

Sister.

Be gentle.

Instead of studying properly,

you're doing this?

The teacher said your essays

are beyond hope.

You still don't put in the effort.

You've copied the books for nothing.

Do you know why

I married into the Luo family?

I'm paving the way for your career.

You're the only son,

and the whole family has placed their hopes

on you.

But you spend your days neglecting your duties,

idling away your time.

How can you face me?

I know you've made a great sacrifice.

Is it because of me?

What do you mean?

You always impose your wishes

on me.

The imperial examination

has never been what I wanted!

Why do you always force me

to do things

that I don't like?

Say that again.

Get out.

Get out!

[Sister's]
