[The Rise of Ning]

[Episode 18]

You look so serious.

Well, I have to be a bit serious.

I have to reassure my family after all.

Can you understand what you're reading?

Well, as for each character,

I can understand.

It's just when they're all put together,

they make my head spin.

Alright, come here and take a break.

Hello, Richie.

What's this nice stuff?

Suet Shortbread.

That's not right.

Where did you steal it from?

Why would you say that?

This was specially left for me by my mother.

Your mother?

Doesn't she forbid you from eating?

Maybe the method worked.

I can't lose weight anyway.

Besides,

for someone like me,

even if I slim down, it probably still won't be for me easy to marry off.

So she gave up.

What do you mean by 'someone like you'?

I'm telling you,

you must not give up on yourself.

Take me for example.

I'm not good at studying,

but that doesn't stop me from being skillful with my hands.

I may not be able to enter the government office,

but that doesn't prevent me from bringing honor to my ancestors.

You, Luo Yixiu, are warm-hearted, kind,

generous, and brave.

I think you're especially loyal to your friends.

Are you complimenting me?

Of course.

You finally got something to eat,

and you're willing to share it with me.

What's not to like about you?

Try it.

You have a bite too.

Okay.

Is it good?

Yes, it's delicious.

The examination date is approaching.

The young masters' studies

are currently

the top priority in our family.

We must not slack off.

Fifth Miss, you live close to Fourth Young Master,

so the task of supervising his studies

will be entrusted to you.

Yes, Mother.

Third Young Master, you...

Mother.

Please leave Third Brother to me.

I'll make sure he

eats well, drinks well, sleeps well,

and studies diligently.

Studying is important,

but health is even more crucial.

Don't overexert yourself.

Got it.

Sister.

Why aren't you worried

about me overworking myself?

If studying

could make you ill,

I wouldn't have to worry about you.

I think I'm already working very hard...

During this period,

your food and daily necessities

will all be arranged by me personally.

If you need anything else,

let me know.

Yes, Mother.

You may go now.

Yes.

The autumn imperial examination is approaching.

The young masters in this family are about to take the exam.

Starting from today,

I want everyone to stay alert

and be extremely cautious.

Do not act recklessly.

No loud noises or commotion,

and no wandering around aimlessly.

Stay in your designated places

and attend to your assigned duties.

If you distract the young masters,

you will be held accountable.

Have you all understood?

Yes, we have.

What did I just say?

Have you forgotten so quickly?

Lower your voices.

Keep it down.

Remember?

Here.

Eat some if you're hungry.

Thank you, Mother.

[Ten Military Tactics]

Give it to me!

Hand it over.

You loser!

Young Master.

Is Senior Daoyan in trouble again?

He came specially to congratulate me

on my inclusion in the pedigree,

and expressed his hope that I could pass the imperial examination in one go with flying colors.

Besides, Teacher's death anniversary

is approaching.

He asked me to

offer a toast to Teacher on his behalf.

Seeing you so worried,

I thought something bad had happened again.

You should still remind

our men

to be more vigilant

these days.

Young Master, are you worried that Senior Daoyan

will go beat the Admonishment Drum again?

The appeal period is just before the exam results are announced.

It's best for us to be cautious.

We need to clear the wrongful charges

while protecting those around us.

Understood.

Any progress on the pufferfish poison case?

Just tell me.

There's no news for now.

However, Seventh Miss

came here several times to deliver things,

but I intercepted her every time.

I'm starting to feel bad for her.

Young Master.

Do you still plan

to stay in and review your studies these days

and not see any guests?

All the young masters in the Luo family

are not seeing guests.

Why do I have to be the one dragging them down?

We don't have any guests, actually.

The one who comes most frequently

is Seventh Miss.

But that's for the best.

Young Master, if you continue to have wishful thinking,

it'll still be a lost game.

In the end, you'll still be the one who suffers.

Go make a pot of tea.

Young Master, you want to have tea?

It's for you!

You've been babbling on and on.

Isn't your mouth dry?

Seventh Miss, you're here again.

I've brought some snacks for Third Brother.

He's still studying inside, I suppose?

Yes, indeed.

Third Young Master has been

reviewing since early morning.

Your Young Master

is still not seeing guests?

It seems he's still not, I'm afraid.

Then please take this cordyceps and tendon soup inside

to him.

I'll leave then.

Thank you, Seventh Miss.

You're really thoughtful, Seventh Miss.

My Lady, are you alright?

Seventh Miss, are you alright?

Did you twist your ankle?

Is it sprained?

Let me check.

I'm alright.

Third Brother.

Why have you been avoiding me lately?

I'm not avoiding you.

I'm just busy with my studies.

Liar.

You just don't want to eat this tonic soup.

I've really had

more than enough of this decoction.

You're feeble.

You should drink this.

How could you have had more than enough of it?

You study every day,

which is very energy consuming.

You need ample nourishment.

Alright, I'll drink it later, okay?

I've taken all the tonics

Mother gave me.

This cordyceps and tendon soup

should be drunk while it's still warm.

Let me tell you.

This is a prescription I personally prepared.

There are century-old ginseng

and angelica in it.

Alright, alright, put it here.

I'll drink it myself.

It's okay.

You know what?

Luo Shanyuan

can't even eat by himself now.

Someone turns the book pages for him on one side,

and someone feeds him on the other.

What others have, you must have as well.

Here.

It's good, isn't it?

It's good.

Why're you having a nosebleed?

Come on.

Why are you having a nosebleed?

Shao'an!

Shao'an!

Third Brother is having a nosebleed!

Shao'an, quick, bring some water!

It hurts, it hurts!

I know.

It must be because of this soup.

It's too nourishing.

Yes, you shouldn't drink it anymore.

I'll ask Qingqu to bring some

heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine.

Wait here.

Wait, wait!

What's wrong?

I'm begging you.

How's the investigation on the poison going?

Poison?

There's no progress yet.

When there's news,

you'd be the first one I tell.

Okay, okay.

Wait right here.

I'll go get the medicine for you.

Don't go.

Qingqu. Qingqu!

[Begonia Garden]

With the imperial examination approaching,

all the young masters in the mansion must be busy

reviewing their studies day and night, right?

Indeed.

Over the past few days,

we've been secretly keeping an eye on them.

But whether it's the first household

or the Lotus Pavilion,

they've all stayed

within their dwellings,

closely supervising the young masters' studies.

The first household is even busier

because Eldest Master is about to

return to the capital.

My Lady, regarding this matter,

how should we continue our investigation?

Seventh Sister.

I've loved eating this since I was little too.

But it's so rarely sold here in the capital.

Xuezhi.

Send a servant

to pick some loquats.

I want to make loquat cake.

My Lady, are you going to make loquat cake

for Third Young Master again?

Lin Mao. Lin Mao. Lin Mao!

Lin Mao. What are you doing, Lin Mao?

Why are you here?

Don't you know?

You're now prohibited from being visited.

But you're even more conspicuous there.

Come over here, hurry.

What is this?

It's just the new trick

my sister came up with

to force me to study.

Richie.

Why have you become so thin?

Only after I recite one page

can it get one bite of bean cake.

How can it not thin down?

So pitiful.

How about this?

I'll take Richie with me.

It's not doing well here...

You're not

planning to take this opportunity

to cook Richie, are you?

What-What do you mean?

How can you slander me like that?

Keep your...

Keep your hands to yourself.

I'm doing this for your own good,

and yet you're accusing me?

Alright, alright.

I spoke out of turn.

You're the best.

Well, I'll leave Richie in your care then.

Take it with you

and take good care of it.

Okay.

Yixiu.

One more thing.

Stay in for the next few days,

so that you won't run into any

unsavory characters.

What unsavory characters?

You know, that guy from before,

who said things like he couldn't eat.

Those young masters from wealthy families

love to make up such lies

to deceive young ladies.

Don't you believe it.

Maybe he

just saw you bullying me

and felt sorry for me,

so he wanted to speak up for me, that's all.

Alright. I'm taking Richie with me.

Alright.

I'm leaving now.

Be careful.

Don't worry.

Where's Richie?

Why is Richie not here?

I might have been so absorbed

in my studies earlier that I didn't realize

Richie opened the door by itself

and went out to play.

Well, if that's the case,

Richie seems more suited for the imperial examination than you.

Sister, you... You saw everything?

Mao.

Madam Chen has quite a high opinion of herself.

Although she's polite to me

on the surface,

I know that

deep down,

she looks down on me.

What right does she have to look down on you?

Just because her family

has produced a few Hanlin Academy scholars?

She may look down on you,

but we don't think much of her either.

My relationship with her is just that of

nodding acquaintances.

I simply don't take it to heart.

If we had a deeper relationship,

I'm afraid she wouldn't be

so friendly towards me as she is now.

Oh, right. Early this morning,

I prayed to God of Culture and Literature and got this divination stick.

I forgot to give it to him just now.

How could I forget.

Sister, you...

What exactly are you trying to say?

Be careful with Sixth Miss.

What should I be careful about with Sixth Miss?

Sister, don't overthink it.

Don't you understand

what I'm saying?

If you can pass the imperial examination, that would be fine.

But if not,

you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible.

Sister, I've always treated Sixth Miss

as a junior.

You know me.

I've always loved beautiful people and things since I was little.

Sixth Miss is chubby

and doesn't care about her appearance.

Moreover, she chatters all day long

and is so gluttonous.

How could I possibly like her?

You don't need to

speak about Sixth Miss like that.

Remember.

Just be a good uncle as you should.

You're right.

You're thin, and she's fat.

You two are not suitable for each other.

You liar! You stinking liar!

I... I... I'll strangle you to death.

Sixth Sister.

I was just about to go find you.

You almost scared me to death.

What's up?

Who made you so angry?

Never mind. Just someone not worth mentioning.

What's up? Why were you looking for me?

I made some delicious loquat cake.

I wanted to share it with you.

Loquat cake?

Your loquat cake is the best.

Let's go.

Come on, let's go.

Let's go.

[Liufang]

Seventh Sister.

Your loquat cake

is even better than that

from Liuhe Tavern.

This is the only thing I know how to make.

Sixth Sister.

Next time when we have a chance,

I'll take you to Liuhe Tavern

to eat pufferfish. How does that sound?

Great. That sounds great.

Oh, by the way,

you mentioned last time

that you loved eating pufferfish when you were little.

But in the Luo's Mansion,

we've rarely had any opportunity to eat it.

So when did you have it?

Oh, that.

It was when my mother and I

went back to the Chen family.

But it was many years ago.

I remember that year,

my grandfather was hosting some distinguished guests.

He specially invited

a chef from the south

who knew how to cook pufferfish.

My mother didn't allow me to eat it,

but I secretly took a bite.

It was so delicious.

I still remember it to this day.

What's wrong?

You don't look well.

Are you feeling unwell?

No, not at all.

If you like it,

I'll make more for you next time.

Also,

about you secretly

eating loquat cake today,

I absolutely won't

tell your mother about it.

Please don't tell her,

or I might be in big trouble.

What's on your mind, My Lady?

I'm just thinking

if it really was her,

why would she have done such a thing?

Back then,

Father had peacefully divorced Mother

because of Lady Qiao,

and my mother had been living in the villa

ever since.

They had no interaction whatsoever.

What grudge could there have been between them?

That's true.

If it were for control of the household,

she should have dealt with Lady Qiao first,

shouldn't she?

Sixth Sister has been so kind to me,

yet here I am,

thinking about trying to get information out of her.

Don't think like that, My Lady.

All you want is to know the truth.

Yes.

I just want to know the truth.

Qingqu, help me find

the chef who worked for the Chen family

back then.

No problem, My Lady.

My Lady, you should rest now.

The physician said

you shouldn't think and worry too much.

It's bad for your health.

[Luo Chengwen]

Boss. Boss.

Please listen to me.

I'm really not trying to dodge my bill.

My money...

My money...

Look at you. You have no money,

then why are you staying at an inn?

Please give me a few more days,

will you?

Can everyone please help me?

Please, everyone, be fair.

I'm really not skipping out on my bill.

I really...

It's just my money was stolen.

I...

When I checked in,

I had money.

Enough, enough.

I'm not going to waste words on you.

Either pay up,

or come with me to the magistrate's office.

[Yang Qinghua]

Please give me a few more days.

I... I'm good at needlework.

I'm sure I can find a way to earn money.

Let's go to the magistrate's office then.

Hold on.

What business do you have here, sir?

How much money does this young lady owe you?

I'll pay for her.

Is this enough?

It's enough, it's enough.

You're lucky today.

I'll let you off the hook.

Everyone, move along.

There's nothing to watch here.

Move along, move along.

Everyone, move along.

Miss, there's no need for this.

I am Yang Qinghua.

Thank you, sir, for your help just now.

May I know your honorable name?

I'd like to write you an IOU,

so I can repay you in the future.

That's not necessary.

It's fate that we meet today.

Since you're penniless now,

take this money for your expenses.

No, no, no.

Take it.

I absolutely cannot accept this money.

Please, sir, tell me your name,

so I can repay this kindness in the future.

Otherwise,

I'll kneel here indefinitely.

Miss Yang, please get up.

Alright.

I'll do as you say then.

Miss Yang, my surname is Luo.

I live in the Luo's Mansion in the east of the city.

If you encounter any difficulties in the future,

feel free to come to my residence to find me.

Thank you, Mr. Luo, for your life-saving kindness.

[Chengjing Hall]

Mother.

Greetings, Mother.

My son.

Chengwen, rise already.

Chengwen.

I've been longing for your return day and night.

It's been so many years.

Now that you're back, I'm overjoyed.

Your journey back

must have been tiring.

No, no, no.

I'm not tired at all.

Now that I've been reassigned back to the capital,

and our family can be reunited,

I am truly happy.

I understand, Son.

Mother, please sit.

My dear.

My Lord.

Yiyu, Yixiu.

You've grown so much.

-Greetings, Father. -Greetings, Father.

Good, good.

By the way, where's Shan?

He's studying.

The autumn imperial examination is approaching.

I told him to focus on his studies.

He'll come to greet you at dinner time.

Good, good. Studying is important.

Son, have a seat first.

Alright, alright.

This is...?

Greetings, Uncle.

This is Yining.

She's back from the villa.

I'm afraid you might not recognize her either.

It's Yining indeed.

You've grown up.

You really look more and more like...

Yes.

I think so too.

She's become more and more like her mother.

It's better for her to come back and live in the mansion.

This way, she gets to be with family

and have someone to look after her.

You're right, Uncle.

Now that I'm back,

I won't go back to the villa.

I'd like to spend more time with Grandmother.

Greetings, Mother.

Elder Brother, you're back.

Second Brother, it's been a long time.

Chengzhang.

You're back early today. Perfect timing.

You two brothers go and catch up.

-Yes, Mother. -Yes, Mother.

Dear.

It's so late. Are you still working?

There's always work to be done.

Dear, why are you here?

I specially

brewed some soothing tea for you, Dear.

You've had a long journey today, Dear.

You must be tired.

Actually, all these years,

you've been managing the household,

taking care of my mother,

and raising our children.

You're the one who's worked the hardest.

Please don't say that, Dear.

It's all my duty as your wife.

After you finish your tea, Dear,

please rest early.

I still have some official business

to take care of.

I'll sleep in the study tonight.

Dear.

You should go back and rest.

Then I won't disturb you any longer.

Dear.

You should also take care of your health.

Wait. Give me the lamp.

You may go now.

Yes.

Why is Eldest Master acting like this right after he came back?

Mama Zhao.

I'm just feeling upset on your behalf, Madam.

All these years,

you've had quite a hard time in the Luo family.

You went to great lengths to ask the Chen family

to have Eldest Master transferred back.

Yet when he saw you, he was so formal,

as if you were an outsider.

He didn't even show any concern for you.

He's always been indifferent towards me.

It's not like he suddenly became like this.

I've long gotten used to it.

But after all, his promotion and return to the capital

will benefit Shan

and the two sisters' future.

I only hope for my children

to have a better future.

As for everything else,

I don't care anymore.

Greetings, Mother.

No need for that.

We're all family here.

Let's dispense with these formalities.

Have a seat.

Thank you, Mother.

Have a seat.

For your transfer back to the capital,

the Chen family

indeed put in a lot of effort.

Especially Eldest Madam,

who went to great lengths to mediate.

It hasn't been easy.

You should thank her properly.

I will heed your advice, Mother.

Chengwen.

Since you've been transferred back to the capital,

you must be careful in your words and actions,

and work diligently day and night.

I'll bear it in mind, Mother.

Dear, you've indeed

worked hard these past years.

I, Chengwen, want to thank you.

My Lord, there's no need for such formality.

This is all my duty as your wife.

Old Madam, I have something to report.

There's a woman outside the gate,

who keeps saying that

she wants to repay money to Mr. Luo.

She's been kneeling there for quite a while.

I tried to send her away, but she wouldn't listen.

Repay money?

How weird is that?

Did you ask

which Mr. Luo she's looking for?

Could it be her?

Mother.

On my way back yesterday,

I ran into a woman who had lost her money

and couldn't pay for food and lodging.

She almost got

handed over to the authorities by the innkeeper.

So I stepped in to help her.

Perhaps that woman

is here for me.

So she's a person of her word.

Come on. Invite her in.

Yes, Madam.

Greetings, my benefactor.

Miss Yang.

Please pay your respects to my mother first.

Greetings, Old Madam.

Mr. Luo came to my rescue.

I, Qinghua, am eternally grateful.

I've come today specifically to repay the money and express my gratitude.

Please rise, Miss.

Thank you, Old Madam.

Come closer, so I can have a closer look at you.

So much alike.

They do look so much alike.

Miss, where are you from?

Why did you come to the capital alone?

Old Madam.

I'm from the north.

My family used to

run a pharmacy business.

But after my parents passed away,

and with the current unrest in the north,

after discussing with my elder brother,

we decided to move to the capital.

Unexpectedly, we encountered bandits on the way,

which led to my separation from my brother.

After I escaped,

I came here alone,

hoping to find news on my brother.

Little did I know that the little money I had left

would also be stolen.

Miss Yang.

Since you're now penniless,

where did you get the money to repay me?

I pawned

the gold hairpin my mother gave me.

This debt of gratitude must be repaid.

This young lady

is truly pitiful.

Since she's had such a hard life,

we should

help her find her elder brother as soon as possible,

so that they

can be reunited.

How about this?

Let this young lady stay in our mansion

and make sure she's well settled.

Think about it. If we let her

wander out there alone,

she could encounter many dangers.

You are absolutely right, Mother.

Miss.

Please stay with us for now.

Once we find your brother,

we'll let you go and reunite with him.

This... this...

How could I accept your kindness like this?

Miss.

Since Grandmother has said it,

you should stay.

Thank you, Old Madam.

My embroidery skills are pretty good.

If you don't mind, Old Madam,

I can do needlework for the household.

How could we ask you to do that?

You're a guest.

How could we have you work in our household?

Eldest Madam, I'll leave the arrangements to you.

Yes, Mother.

Mama Zhao.

Take this young lady to rest.

Yes.

Miss, please.

I'll take my leave.

If you need anything, just tell us.

Old Madam asked us

to take good care of you.

We wouldn't want anyone to think

we've mistreated you.

Thank you, Mama Zhao.

If I do anything improper,

please bear with me.

Young Master, what are you looking at?

Who is that woman?

I don't know. She looks unfamiliar.

Perhaps she's a newly arrived servant.

Young Master.

You haven't taken a fancy to her, have you?

Don't talk nonsense.

I just think she looks somewhat familiar.

Let's go.

This Miss Yang and my mother

really do look alike.

Could Eldest Master have saved that woman

because

she resembles Madam Gu?

Could that be why he took pity on her?

My Lady.

The shop assistant sent a letter, saying that

during the renovation,

there were some problems with the house.

They wanted the shop owner to go take a look.

I was going to report this to Sixth Master,

but Madam Lin

has been watching him.

There's nothing I could do,

so I came back.

That's understandable.

Now Sixth Uncle

is busy reviewing his studies.

Mother is watching him closely,

so he probably doesn't have time

to look after the shop.

I'll go take a look myself.

[Liuhe Tavern]

The setting sun casts a cold light, white.

White waves merge with the sea, in line.

Line...

Line-up wooden signs float into the river, staying.

Staying...

Qi'an, it's your turn.

I'm not part of this.

I wouldn't dare to play this game with you.

So many years have passed.

Xia,

how come you haven't changed at all?

When you can't continue the verse, you'll make excuses.

I'm not making excuses.

It's because his couplet isn't very well-structured.

Right, right. Qi'an is right.

Right?

Since you can't continue the verse, drink three cups of wine as punishment.

Right.

Making excuses also calls for punishment.

The punishment should be three cups of wine.

Punish.

My dwelling is named Foolish Valley.

Why bother with right and wrong?

Junior.

That's a good couplet.

But you came late, so you need to be punished.

Respects to our teacher.

Please be seated, seniors.

I'll drink three cups as self-punishment.

Yuan'er, that's enough.

The imperial examination is approaching.

Yuan'er must have been studying at home.

So it's fine that he arrived a bit late.

Alright, I'll listen to you, senior.

Among all of us fellow disciples,

when it comes to studying,

Yuan'er is undoubtedly the best.

He'll surely get better grades than us in the imperial examination.

I remember back then, Senior Daoyan

achieved the top rank in three imperial exams straight.

Yuan'er.

How do you plan

to surpass your senior Daoyan?

How could my erudition possibly rival Senior Daoyan's?

Well, back in my day,

I also achieved the top rank in two imperial exams in a row.

How could you possibly have achieved the top rank twice in a row?

I remember that year when you took the metropolitan examination,

you came in second,

and you cried for a whole month.

Really?

The one who cried for a month

wasn't me.

It was Junior Fang.

It's all recorded in the admission record.

Do you remember?

Teacher put our admission record

all over a wall.

I remember.

Teacher said that wall

was his life's achievement.

Today is Teacher's death anniversary.

When Teacher was alive, he said that

he didn't need us to

visit his grave to pay respects after his death.

He just hoped that on each death anniversary,

we fellow disciples

could gather together

and have a good drink.

But now,

even these fellow disciples

are all scattered across the world.

No one knows when we'll be able to reunite.

I believe

that day will come eventually.

Yuan'er is about to take the imperial examination.

I believe that

there'll soon be a page on the admission record

about the achievement of the top rank in three imperial exams straight.

That's right.

As to the past, reproof is useless,

but the future may still be provided against.

Yuan'er.

I know

that once you've made up your mind,

no one can stop you.

I'm just worried that the path of officialdom is treacherous.

You are the hope for all of us.

Please take good care of yourself.

Rest assured, senior.

I will certainly take care of myself

and protect you all.

Alright.

If Teacher were still alive

and saw us like this,

he would scold us again.

Let's follow Teacher's wishes.

Today, we must enjoy ourselves to the fullest.

Come on.

Come on.

[Fengle Pavilion]

In a few days,

it will be the anniversary of your mother's passing.

Remember to hold a memorial service at the temple.

Don't worry, Uncle.

I've already made preparations.

That's good.

It's a pity your mother passed away so early that

she couldn't see all of this

or enjoy this prosperity and wealth.

Uncle, every year

you remember my mother's death anniversary.

Your mother and I were siblings.

Our birth mother died early,

and our father didn't care for us.

The two of us

had relied on each other since childhood.

An elder sister is like a mother.

This bond is naturally different.

Your Lordship, a servant came to report

that Seventh Miss seems to be out.

She's right nearby.

This worker is really unscrupulous.

He just wanted to charge more for his work,

yet he made up all sorts of excuses,

saying there were problems with the house.

My Lady.

Why did you agree

to pay him more just like that?

If we go find someone else and start the renovation all over again,

it will take even more time.

Sixth Uncle is not available now.

I can't come out a lot, either.

Although this worker is a bit greedy,

I saw that

his workmanship is quite meticulous.

Nothing can be perfect.

Just think of it as buying peace of mind.

Go away.

Which household is this young lady from?

Let me take a good look.

Where did you come from, drunk?

Our Miss

is not someone you can mess with as you please.

Our young master is the heir of Duke Xu.

Watch your tongue,

young lady.

Go away!

So this beautiful lady is accompanied by

a sassy one.

Excellent.

I'm warning you.

Don't come any closer!

Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude.

Let me see

how rude you can be.

You...

Get down, you!

Young Master Xu! Young Master Xu!

Save me!

Save me! Save me!

Let's go.

Young Master Xu, over here!

Greetings, Marquis Lu.

Young Master Xu.

Abducting a woman in broad daylight.

I wonder if Duke Xu is aware of this.

I am innocent.

It was this young lady

who kicked me into the river for no reason.

I was just about to confront her.

Why is that from what I see,

it was you, Young Master Xu,

who acted improperly first?

Marquis Lu.

It was...

It was me who was drunk and acted improperly.

I offended this young lady.

I hereby offer her

my apologies.

I apologize.

Let's go. Come on, let's go.

Seventh Miss.

Is this how you

treat the one who saved your life?

I, Yining, am deeply grateful to you for saving my life, Marquis Lu.

I have no way to repay you,

so I can only cherish this gratitude in my heart.

Marquis Lu.

You must have a lot of affairs to attend to.

I'll take my leave.

I'm not busy.

How about

we play a game of Go together?

I don't know how to play Go.

I can teach you.

On the literary contest banquet,

the Luo family shone through,

and Chen Daoyan successfully escaped from his predicament.

You

cooperated quite well.

I, Yining, don't understand

what you're talking about, Marquis Lu.

I'm just a lady confined to the inner chambers.

I don't understand those important matters you speak of, Marquis Lu.

You overestimated me, Marquis Lu.

You don't understand?

I don't.

I lost.

Marquis Lu, your Go skills are superb.

Seventh Miss, you said just now that

you didn't know how to play Go.

It seems that your words

indeed cannot be trusted, Seventh Miss.

How dare I

lie in front of you, Marquis Lu?

It must be because you're a good teacher, Marquis Lu.

It's getting late,

and we've finished this game of Go.

I'll return to the mansion now.

If I don't let you leave,

do you think you can return to the Luo's Mansion?

Why should someone of your status

bother quibbling with me, Marquis Lu?

That would make you

no different from the person

who fell into the water earlier, wouldn't it?

Sharp-tongued.

How about this?

Why don't we make a bet?

I don't want to gamble.

Then you can just wait

for your Third Brother to come and save you.

Marquis Lu, your gambling skills are superb.

Why do you have to bully me so blatantly?

It seems that you

know me quite well, Seventh Miss.

Open.

I don't want to play with you anymore.

You must be cheating.

I can't even see.

How could I cheat?

Then how could you possibly

guess correctly every time?

I told you,

I'm naturally gifted at gambling.

If you don't believe me, what can I do?

Back then, when I was imprisoned,

I pretended to be addicted to gambling and good at it

to make that person believe

that I was demoralized,

so they would lower their guard against me.

But in fact, I'm not fond of gambling at all,

let alone being good at it.

Only one person

kept losing to me when playing dice,

so she mistakenly thought I was a skilled gambler.
