[The Rise of Ning]
[Episode 16]
Second Uncle didn't even allow him into the family school.
How could Luo Shenyuan possibly...
Don't bother about others.
You should
think about how much
effort Mother had put in,
and how you still failed
to compose any decent poetry.
My dear sister,
I, Luo Shanyuan, have different aspirations.
If you let me compete in martial arts and military strategy,
I would surely come out on top.
Shanyuan,
Yiyu.
Your guzheng performance today
was truly elegant and otherworldly.
Even if the Goddess of Music had descended from heaven,
I'm afraid she couldn't have done better.
Thank you for your kind words.
It's been a while since we last met.
You seem to have grown distant from me.
Young Master Chen, are you perhaps a bit drunk?
We are merely acquaintances through our elders.
We're not even that close.
Why would you say such things, Young Master Chen?
Also,
as for your words earlier about the goddess of music,
please don't say such things again, Young Master Chen.
If others were to overhear,
wouldn't it cause misunderstandings?
Shan,
Sixth Sister is feeling unwell.
Mother wants us
to return early and look after her.
Who would have thought?
The illegitimate son of the Luo family
will soon be famous throughout the capital.
To lie low and bide his time like this,
Third Young Master Luo is no ordinary man.
Seventh Miss.
Seventh Miss, your pipa performance just now
didn't seem to be taught by a female musician.
Marquis Lu, what do you mean by that?
Such a fierce and martial spirit
is not something a woman should possess.
Haven't you heard of
the story of Lady Qiao?
Women who have served as generals
have existed throughout history.
A fierce and martial spirit
is not exclusive to men.
Seventh Miss, you have such spirit.
Other ladies play tunes like
"The Spring Snow" and "Blooming Flowers and Full Moon."
But your music has such a tragic and heroic air
as if you've experienced it yourself.
Marquis Lu, are you praising me?
If it's not a tune you truly love,
it's better not to play it too often.
Marquis Lu, aren't you
overstepping your bounds?
What I love or don't love, what I play or don't play,
what does it have to do with you?
The literary contest banquet has already ended.
You must have many official duties to attend to.
Perhaps you shouldn't linger here any longer.
Seventh Miss, are you asking me to leave?
I wouldn't dare.
Although the Luo family is a century-old establishment,
I'm sure you don't think much of it.
I need to go back to bid farewell
to the other guests.
Please excuse me.
Your Lordship.
Is this Seventh Miss
the person you're looking for?
She's similar,
but also different.
By the way, do we have any leads on Chen Daoyan?
Not yet.
Follow me.
[Hold Great Ambitions]
Handle with care.
Congratulations.
These items are valuable.
Just put them directly in the carriage.
Congratulations, Luo, on finding such an esteemed teacher.
This literary contest banquet was a great success.
I never thought that after so many years,
I would see the grand spectacle
of a literary contest banquet again.
It's truly rare, truly rare indeed.
It's all thanks to you, Mr. Sun.
Not at all. Let's part here.
Registrar Luo.
Mr. Sun, please wait a moment.
Butler Bai.
Yes.
Your Lordship, this gift
seems a bit suspicious.
Investigate it.
Yes, sir.
You shouldn't,
you really shouldn't, Registrar Luo.
Mr. Sun, it's just some scholar's treasures,
a small token of my appreciation.
Registrar Luo,
being able to attend the literary contest banquet
is already a great honor for me.
These things, well...
Mr. Sun, to be frank,
I heard that your academy widely recruits poor students,
disregarding their status and refusing to charge them tuition.
My mother was quite moved when she heard this.
It's just a small gesture.
Please accept it.
If that's the case,
I will accept it.
On behalf of the poor students,
I thank the Old Madam.
Quickly, carry it to the carriage.
Registrar Luo, I'll take my leave now.
Mr. Sun, take care on your way.
Wait a moment.
I apologize
for disturbing Mr. Sun and Second Master Luo.
Commander Ye.
What brings you here today?
Recently, a major criminal has escaped from the imperial court.
The Imperial City Guard has been ordered to search for and arrest him.
Coincidentally, someone spotted
the fugitive here.
Marquis Lu has ordered his capture.
I hope you both can understand and cooperate.
Since you're on official duty, please proceed.
It's my duty.
Someone.
Open this chest for me.
-Yes! -Yes!
Wait.
Commander Ye,
in this chest
are return gifts from the Luo family to Mr. Sun.
Commander Ye,
the chest contains stationeries the Old Madam
has gifted to me.
I trust there should be no issue with this.
Mr. Sun,
this is part of my duty.
I dare not overlook even the slightest detail.
These are all refined and elegant items.
How could you...
This is simply an insult to culture and refinement.
I apologize for the offense.
Who dares to be so presumptuous?
Search it.
How dare you!
Do not be disrespectful.
Greetings, Marquis Lu.
My men were disrespectful.
I hope you won't take offense, sir.
Marquis Lu,
your subordinates
are certainly very diligent in their duties.
The imperial court has issued orders
to apprehend the criminal without fail.
I am also acting to uphold the law.
I apologize for any offense caused.
Marquis Lu, this chest
contains nothing but stationery.
Perhaps we should not
disturb this refined atmosphere.
True elegance is innate.
I'm not the one
who tarnished it.
My actions today
are also to protect
Mr. Sun's reputation.
What if you fail to
find the fugitive?
Then I will certainly apologize to you, sir.
Guards.
Yes, sir.
Open the chest.
Yes, sir.
Such refined items.
It's best not to open the chest and risk damaging them.
I apologize for my rashness.
I hope you can forgive me, sir.
This is simply outrageous.
Farewell, Marquis Lu.
Please excuse me for not seeing you out.
We'll have plenty of time in the future, Third Young Master Luo.
Your Lordship.
How did it go?
I followed Sun Jie's carriage
all the way to the academy
and watched as all the gifts were unloaded.
Even til the carriage had left,
I noticed nothing unusual.
All the guests and carriages
leaving the Luo's Mansion
had been thoroughly searched.
Did the Luo family
return gifts to anyone else today
besides Sun Jie?
Return gifts...
Yes, to the Chen family.
It's said that
Young Master Chen previously visited the Luo family
and brought many gifts.
This time, the Luo family
also prepared several crates of gifts
for Young Master Chen
to bring home.
Was the Chen family's carriage
thoroughly searched?
I have already ordered
that all carriages must be strictly inspected.
However, given the relationship between the Young Master and Your Lordship,
they didn't dare to be too intrusive
with the Chen family's carriage.
How foolish.
You mean...
that person
followed the Chen family's carriage and escaped?
I'll send someone to chase after them right away.
Don't bother. I'm afraid it's too late.
However, if it's as I suspect,
we've encountered
a formidable opponent indeed.
It seems that
I underestimated him.
[Cheng]
Send me two people
to help unload the crates.
[Jimo Pavilion]
Congratulations, Third Brother.
You made quite a splash today.
Given time, you'll surely achieve your goals.
I suppose Senior Brother Daoyuan
has safely escaped by now.
For this matter,
I must thank you
and Qingqu.
I'm so clever and quick-witted
because
there are no weak soldiers under a strong general.
Of course,
it's also thanks to your excellent strategy.
Knowing Lu Jiaxue's suspicious nature,
you gave us the opportunity to strike.
Lu Jiaxue
will figure it out sooner or later.
We can't keep him in the dark for long.
You mean
you're worried he'll keep a close eye on you?
The two of us
will eventually be stuck in
a life-or-death situation.
I'm worried about you.
Worried about me?
I don't know why,
but this Lu Jiaxue
has been paying more attention to you lately.
Maybe it's because you played "The Conqueror Unarms"
exceptionally well.
Perhaps
the song sounded too aggressive
and resonated with his state of mind.
That's why it caught his attention.
At worse,
I'll stop playing it from now on.
By the way, Third Brother,
where was your senior
hiding when you kept him
at your place?
There's a secret room here?
Third Brother,
what is this secret room
for?
Of course, it's to prevent
things like what happened today from occurring.
But if you tell me this,
aren't you afraid I'll tell others?
Apart from Shao'an,
you are the person I trust the most.
Oh, really?
So in your heart,
I'm not as important as Shao'an.
I should say,
you are the person I trust the most.
That's more like it.
By the way,
Mama Zheng wrote back a couple of days ago saying
she'd be back soon.
Some things
are better faced directly
than avoided.
Yining,
trust me.
I will be by your side
for everything.
[Luo's Mansion]
Father.
You're awake.
The physician said you're fine.
It was just overexertion.
It seems
you've indeed studied hard
for the literary contest banquet.
Thank you for your concern, Father.
I haven't been sleeping well
these past few days,
which led to my improper behavior.
Silence!
Studying diligently
is the duty of a scholar.
Hanging one's head from a beam or jabbing one's thigh with an awl
are all common practices.
The literary gathering is a battlefield for scholars.
With the army before you,
you should charge forward bravely.
You cowered in the face of battle.
That's desertion on the battlefield!
Do you know
that your actions
have tarnished our family's pride
in front of so many people?
This was just
a small literary gathering.
If you can't even handle this,
with the imperial examination approaching,
how will you cope?
How?
I will give it my all, Father.
Not to disappoint-
Not to disappoint-
I've always thought
that you were
a strong-willed child since you were young.
But I didn't expect
you to still be a brat.
Useless thing.
Father.
Find a physician to examine him.
Xuan, are you alright?
It's all your fault!
You made me study day and night,
pressuring me constantly!
That's why I got nervous on the spot
and embarrassed myself in front of so many people.
What are you saying?
I did everything for your own good.
For my own good?
You only think about yourself!
I've become the laughingstock of the entire city.
Even that unwelcomed guy
from Jimo Pavilion
is now above me.
Are you happy now?
Xuan...
Leave me alone!
I never expected
that an unexpected challenger would appear out of nowhere.
Luo Shenyuan is truly something else.
How could he possibly...
That boy.
I've long seen that he's extraordinary.
Don't be fooled by his usual silence
and how he lets others bully him.
There's a streak of stubbornness
in his eyes.
I just never expected that
he would be hiding so much talent.
He's nothing but a lowly person
who made up a poem.
I don't see
how it was any better than Shan's poem.
But in the end, the literary contest banquet
has allowed the second household
to gain a huge advantage.
If Mr. Sun says it's good,
then it must be good.
I just can't stand
how the second household
has been lording over our first household all these years.
It's all because
the Second Master holds an official position in the capital,
while our master is away on an assignment and hasn't returned.
About the matter I entrusted to my maiden family,
there have been updates lately.
The master
is about to return to the capital.
That's wonderful!
Madam,
you won't have to
bear the burden alone
and struggle so hard anymore.
[Begonia Garden]
My Lady.
Qingqu went to the city gate to receive someone,
they should be here any moment.
Mama Zheng.
You're finally here.
I've been waiting for you for a long time.
Please, come in quickly.
Mama Zheng, please don't stand on ceremony.
You grew up with my mother,
accompanied her when she got married,
and stayed with her
until the end.
You don't need to bow to me.
When I left the Luo family,
you were still in swaddling clothes.
Now,
you've grown into an adult.
Qingqu wrote to me saying
you were feeling unwell.
Let me tend to you right away.
There's no rush.
Let's go see Grandmother first.
Look at me,
I've forgotten my manners.
Yes.
[Virtue and Virtue]
Grandmother.
This humble servant Zheng Rong pays her respects to the Old Madam.
You may rise.
Thank you, Old Madam.
It's been many years.
How is your health, Old Madam?
Indeed, it has been many years.
I just don't understand.
Yining was so young back then
and you were Minglan's most capable
and trustworthy servant when she was alive.
I asked you so earnestly
to stay and take care of Yining,
yet you so resolutely
left the Luo family.
So now,
why are you willing to come again?
Grandmother,
I invited Mama Zheng back.
I thought
Mama Zheng took care of my mother
for a lifetime
and also raised Qingqu by my side.
So I thought of asking Qingqu
to invite Mama Zheng back
to enjoy some time in the capital.
Old Madam,
I have my difficulties regarding what happened.
Please don't blame me, Old Madam.
Alright.
I don't want to talk about the past anymore.
Thank you, Old Madam.
What's past
is past.
[Liuhe Tavern]
Rather die in exile,
than live in such a manner.
The noble bird does not flock with others,
it has been so since ancient times.
Senior, your calligraphy
is strong and unique
as always.
"Li Sao"
means to be separated from sorrow.
Senior,
you've just escaped danger.
Why don't we
leave our sorrows behind today?
Brother Daoyan,
even Junior is here.
Come, taste my cooking.
We brothers
haven't gathered in so many years.
Senior, what's wrong with you?
His old injury might not have healed yet.
Senior, let me call a physician for you.
No need.
It's just my old throat condition.
Seventh Miss.
Mama Zheng.
Seventh Miss.
You still keep your mother's
belongings from back then?
When my mother passed away,
Lady Qiao
sold all of
my mother's dowry.
Even Minglan Hall was demolished.
Now,
these are all that's left.
That wretched Lady Qiao.
Grandmother must have told you
not to tell me too much about other things.
But Auntie Qiao
has already received her retribution.
What's in the past
should be left in the past.
Yes, it's all in the past.
As long as you're doing well, My Lady,
your mother can rest easy.
My Lady,
let me take your pulse.
Qingqu wrote saying
you were unwell.
Although my medical skills are limited,
for your sake,
I'll do my best.
Mama Zheng,
I was
feeling a bit unwell before.
But in recent days,
I've already improved.
But Qingqu said...
I deceived you.
I had Qingqu trick you into coming back to the capital.
Mama Zheng,
actually, I have something to ask you.
About my mother's death,
how much do you really know?
Whatever I can say,
I will certainly tell you without concealment.
Back then, my father favored Lady Qiao.
My mother couldn't bear it anymore,
so she moved to the villa.
She proposed a divorce from my father.
Is this true?
Indeed, it is true.
Your father favored his concubine and neglected his wife.
Lady Qiao
was also accustomed to using underhanded methods.
She spread rumors everywhere,
falsely accusing your mother of wanting to harm her.
Your mother had a noble character
and was unwilling to quarrel with others.
If it weren't for
your sake,
your mother
would not have returned to the Luo family.
Then,
after my mother returned,
did my father ever visit her?
He visited once.
It was shortly after you were born.
That time,
your father specially brought some
of your mother's favorite tea.
Tea?
Yes.
I remember it very clearly.
That day,
your father was unexpectedly
very kind.
He played with you for half a day.
Seeing him like this, your mother
didn't want to offend him.
So she drank a few sips of the tea he brought.
Who knew, after just a few words,
he was already thinking about
The dowry your mother prepared for you.
He wanted her
to buy him an official position and pave the way for him.
Your mother was furious
and poured the tea into the begonia.
Who would have thought that later,
the begonia's roots rotted.
The begonia...
But Grandmother told me
it was because of the astragalus and peony decoction
that the roots rotted.
Your mother said that because
she didn't want to tell Old Madam
that she refused to drink
the tea your father brought.
Tea leaves?
Yes, this is the one.
This is exactly
the tea Second Master gave to your mother back then.
I can't believe it's still around.
My mother's death from illness...
Could it...
Could it be related to my father?
Of course it's related to your father.
If it weren't for
your father's heartlessness,
how could your mother have fallen ill and never recovered
at such a young age,
and then passed away?
We need to send Senior Daoyan
off as soon as possible.
We can't let Lu Jiaxue's people notice.
Understood.
Qi'an will make the arrangements.
Never mind, I'll go myself.
Senior Daoyan was Teacher's most prized
disciple.
He passed the imperial examination at a young age
and was personally appointed by the Emperor to serve in office.
Now he can only flee to save his life.
It's all my fault.
It's been three years,
and I've accomplished nothing.
Young Master, you're managing the Liuhe Tavern
and also running maritime shipping.
You've protected all our fellow disciples,
found Li Yinglong and Lu Jiaxue,
and now you've obtained testimony
from the Old Madam.
How can you say you've accomplished nothing?
Third Brother.
Seventh Miss, the tea is ready.
Have you made your decision?
It seems
there's no problem with it.
It's poisonous.
Yining.
Father.
Where are your maids?
why aren't they with you?
It's so late.
What are you doing here?
I was just about to look for you, Father.
Recently, while tidying up,
I came across some of Mother's belongings.
Seeing them made me think of her.
So I thought I'd come out for a walk to clear my mind.
She's gone now.
The past is in the past.
Digging up these old things
will only bring you more distress.
These old memories and people,
you've probably forgotten them all, haven't you, Father?
But I remember Mother's voice
and smile always.
So,
I wanted to ask you, Father.
Seventh Sister.
Why are you here?
Father.
You have no sense of propriety.
Don't think that just because you wrote
a good poem at the literary contest banquet,
and people outside
are calling you 'Third Young Master Luo,'
you can now act all high and mighty.
Don't forget your place.
I am now
Mr. Sun's student.
Other than that,
I have no other identity.
Now you've even learned to talk back.
For the next few days,
stay put in Jimo Pavilion
and don't go anywhere else.
Father, are you confining me?
But Mr. Sun said
he wants me to attend the literary gathering with him these days.
Well, since you have spoken,
I won't go then.
Go.
Of course you should go.
Perform well.
Yes, Father.
Yining, what do you want to ask me?
Get some rest early.
I understand how you feel.
But that poisoned tea alone
doesn't prove anything.
Even if it were him,
without any evidence,
he's even less likely
to confess the truth to you.
Third Brother,
what should I do?
♫The sky clears as clouds break, light and shadow flicker♫
I thought
I had already hardened my heart.
I thought I could bear it.
♫Memories rise and fall in the shades of longing♫
But...
♫It stirs the winds, the solitude, and a sky full of fireworks♫
♫Through hardship, who is the cause and who is the effect?♫
It's alright.
You still have me.
♫Love is hard to catch♫
You still have me.
♫The intertwined destinies are hard to unravel♫
If it really was him,
just follow your heart.
♫Afraid of missing it. making mistakes, and the begonia's fleeting bloom♫
Even if you have to fight the whole world,
♫So the more you care about love, the more you dare not say it♫
I will definitely
stand on your side.
♫You're like a poetic song♫
♫One intersection is engraved in my heart♫
♫Among all the people, I'm only impressed by you♫
♫I'll carry out this reckless love and stick to my word for life♫
This is my mother.
Isn't she beautiful?
Yes, she is.
So, am I beautiful too?
Yes.
You are the most
beautiful person in the world.
Third Brother,
I won't have peace of mind
until I figure out
whether this matter
is related to Father.
[Ancient City of Fortune]
Please.
I'm sorry for bothering you again.
Physician Zhao,
There's a question on my mind.
I'd like to ask for your advice.
Have you discovered
any new clues?
I asked
the nanny who served my mother.
She said that before my mother died,
she was in great pain.
She had numbness in her mouth and tongue,
tingling all over her body,
and slurred speech.
Could this have been caused by an illness?
I've never heard that Madam Gu
had such symptoms.
From your description,
it sounds more like she took the wrong medicine
or was poisoned.
This is the tea my mother
drank before she passed away.
I've tested it.
It's indeed poisonous.
Physician Zhao, please examine it
to determine exactly what kind of poison it is.
Senior,
as we part ways today,
please take care of yourself.
Yuan.
I hope when we meet again,
it will be when our teacher's case is reopened.
Don't worry, Senior.
I won't let our brothers
hide for the rest of their lives.
Qi'an.
Be careful on your journey
and take good care of everyone.
Yes, Young Master.
Young Master,
The item for Seventh Miss
has been prepared.
[Luo's Mansion]
Father.
Yining, you're here too.
Mother.
I pay my respects to you, Mother.
Have a seat.
This child came here early
to have breakfast with me.
I'm craving Grandmother's kitchen's
cooking.
I heard there's a new
seasonal osmanthus cake.
I came especially to try it.
If you like it so much,
I could have the cook make it specially for you
and send it over.
It won't taste as delicious as
eating it here with you.
Eating with me, you said.
You silly child.
You have so many excuses
for a bite to eat.
Grandmother,
I'm not eating your food for free.
Today I've brought
some excellent fragrant tea.
It's already been roasted and ground
into tea powder.
Since Father is here today,
let's all try it together.
Xuezhi.
I have some
social engagements outside today.
I'll skip the tea.
Since Mother is well,
I'll take my leave now.
Father, please stay.
This tea today is especially unique.
I hope you will try it with us.
What tea haven't I tried before?
Chengzhang,
stay and have a cup.
It won't delay your engagements.
I wonder what
this child is up to.
♫The south wind passes through the world like brocade♫
♫Begonias nestle in front of the blue pond♫
♫The scent of tea drifts across the long streets♫
♫If your heart is happy, it will be clear skies♫
♫Home is like a harbor, surrounding you♫
♫The moon waxes and wanes, but when people return, the moon becomes full♫
Grandmother,
this tea is very light.
It won't affect your afternoon nap.
♫The peaceful times turn the years into something ordinary♫
Father,
I know
you're an expert tea taster.
♫Time sketches the bustling world♫
This tea is meant to showcase its original flavor.
Please, try it.
♫The red string covers the eaves; dark hair changes into white♫
♫The sound of half of my life comes to my dream♫
Father, how do you find
the tea?
This is Dragon Phoenix Tea.
Father, do you remember?
This is the tea
you gave to my mother years ago.
This is
the tea Minglan left behind?
Grandmother,
when I found this tea
among Mother's belongings,
I was so excited that
I immediately
brought it to Father to ask about it.
Did you come to me that night
for this tea?
This Dragon Phoenix Tea is incredibly precious.
Even those royal relatives nowadays
find it hard to get a single brick.
It wasn't easy for me
to get that small portion.
I still remember that day,
Minglan had a big fight with me.
I thought
your mother had already
thrown this tea away.
I didn't expect
she had kept it for over a decade.
Then why did you argue?
Was it
because of Lady Qiao again?
No.
At that time,
I suffered setbacks in my official career.
Father was also a man of integrity,
unwilling to help his relatives.
I thought
I could use some money to advance my career.
So I went to ask your mother
for some of her dowry.
How utterly foolish!
You actually resorted to such a trick.
You even thought of using
Minglan's dowry!
Mother, you're right to reprimand me.
I deeply regret my actions.
I will never dare
to have such thoughts again.
Back then,
if your father had
known about this,
he would have certainly used family punishment.
I was just momentarily
blinded by greed.
Fortunately, I didn't bring shame to the family.
Thank you for finding
the Dragon Phoenix Tea brick from over a decade ago.
Without this tea,
I wouldn't have had the chance
to test Father's reaction.
You must feel relieved now.
Father's demeanor
didn't seem to be feigned.
If he had something to hide,
he would have surely shown some flaws.
But
if it wasn't him,
who could it be?
Once Physician Zhao finds out
what poison was in the tea,
we might have a lead.
Even if it really were him,
I don't think you'd have had the heart
to be cruel.
Although he has many faults
and has disappointed you greatly,
a father
is still a father after all.
What about you?
Do you hate him?
I have,
but as a son,
I can't choose my parents.
I'll just do
what I'm supposed to do.
The autumn imperial examination is approaching.
The matter of adding you to the pedigree
can't be delayed any longer.
Although Father's attitude towards you
has somewhat improved since last time,
it was only because of
Mr. Sun's influence.
If we want Father
to allow you into the pedigree,
I'm afraid we'll need to give it another push.
[Caifu Garden]
Mother, you're well-versed in business
and good at accounting.
If you hadn't married into the Luo family,
you would surely have been a formidable
businesswoman.
At this age,
if I hadn't married into the Luo family,
I would have married elsewhere.
At home, we obey our fathers;
after marriage, we obey our husbands.
Whether it's good or bad,
no one can say for sure.
Compared to other places,
I think marrying into the Luo family
is quite good.
You're here,
and
Old Madam treats me well too.
Then, Mother,
do you plan to live with Father
in this state of mutual respect for the rest of your lives?
Your father and I
live our separate lives now
without interfering with each other.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Why are you suddenly asking about this?
No matter what kind of life you envision for yourself,
I will support it.
I just think that
we should still plan
for the future.
If I get married later,
or if Lady Qiao
survives and comes back,
what should we do then?
What do you mean?
Mother, since the literary contest banquet,
although Father
still doesn't like Third Brother,
in front of others,
he has to acknowledge
that Third Brother is
a member of our Luo family.
If he were to be adopted by you,
you would have an heir.
In the future,
wouldn't that be someone to rely on?
Moreover, Third Brother is not only a good person,
but he's also talented.
If he passes the imperial examination in the future,
you'll be the mother of a presented scholar.
If he becomes the top scholar,
perhaps
you'll even be the mother of the top scholar.
Listen to you.
It's not that easy to pass those exams.
Besides, he's grown up now.
I'm afraid I won't be a good mother to him.
In this household,
if you can't do it well,
I'm afraid no one can.
Since you've been managing the household,
you've always thought about setting aside a portion of
every month's expenses for food, clothing, and necessities for him.
Treating everyone equally,
isn't that how it should be?
And Mother,
last time at the estate,
when you twisted your ankle,
Third Brother voluntarily carried you
all the way to the estate.
That's filial piety between mother and son.
Well, he...
I used to think he always looked stern,
but this time,
I found out he's actually quite kind-hearted.
Moreover,
he's the type who knows how to repay kindness.
He will surely treat you well in the future.
This matter
still needs to be discussed with your father.
You know
your father's approval
might be hard to get.
