[The Rise of Ning]

[Episode 19]

Who on earth are you?

I'm the Seventh Miss from the Luo family,

Luo Yining.

In this world,

only one person knows I'm good at gambling.

Meimei.

Are you Meimei?

Marquis Lu, are you talking about…

Xu Mei?

You're not Meimei?

But you know her.

Tell me, where is she?

Marquis Lu, let go of me first.

She's dead.

What are you saying?

I buried her with my own hands.

You buried her? Why did you bury her?

She was the maid

who grew up with me since childhood.

We were as close as sisters.

One day, she told me

she fell for someone

and wanted to spend her life with him.

She said she could wait for him,

no matter how long it took.

She was willing to do anything for him.

But…

she died.

That man killed her.

Impossible. You're talking nonsense!

Back then, I sent people to look into it.

Around the Lu family's villa,

there was no Luo's Mansion at all!

You're talking nonsense!

She went with me to Baiyun Temple

to pick a kite

when she met you.

At that time, you had an eye condition.

After that,

every time I went to Baiyun Temple,

she'd beg me

to allow her to go see you.

Later, you were rescued.

You promised her that once your eyes healed,

you'd go back to get her.

I also agreed to return her indenture papers.

But when she came back

and I saw her again,

she was covered in blood,

barely clinging to life.

She fell from a cliff.

I visited every physician in the city,

but not a single one

could cure her.

Do you know

what her last words were

before she died?

What did she say?

She said, "I trusted the wrong man."

She had a white jade pendant

with the character "Lu" engraved on it.

I kept wondering

who had deceived her.

It turns out it was you, Marquis Lu.

You caused Meimei's death.

So stop pretending to love her.

She can't see anything anymore.

Impossible.

Absolutely impossible.

You're lying to me, aren't you?

You're lying to me.

Meimei must still be alive.

She must be alive.

You said you buried her.

Where did you bury her?

In Peach Blossom Villa on the west side of the city.

There's no tombstone

because I hope

she could forget

she was Meimei.

Are you alright, My Lady?

Don't worry.

My uncle won't let anything

happen to Seventh Miss.

[Fengle Pavilion]

What's wrong, My Lady?

Nothing. Let's get out of here.

[Marquis of Anbei's Mansion]

[Wangyue Hall]

I don't care about a random woman's death.

But these soldiers can't be spared.

Lu Jiaxue!

Don't you want to know

who the woman

who just fell was?

I don't need to know.

Listen.

The one who just fell

is the woman you've been missing day and night!

What did you say?

She's your Meimei!

Song Ziyun, are you mad?

Meimei!

Your Lordship,

it's so high.

I'm afraid she's dead.

Ye Yan,

I must find her, alive or dead.

No.

She can't be dead.

Go. Go save her.

Go!

Okay.

Meimei!

I'm not playing with you!

You must be cheating.

I can't even see.

How can I cheat?

Then how's it possible

that you guessed it right every time?

I can't beat you at dice.

Why would I play cards with you?

How about we try paper cutting instead?

I'll cut the paper, and you guess.

Paper cutting?

Why don't we play the qin and see who's better at it?

Lu Jiaxue, that's cheating!

You're an expert on music.

You're good at chess, dice games,

and also calligraphy.

Is there anything you can't do?

I can do everything.

I don't believe that.

You can't make dolls.

I love dolls the most.

I told you, I can learn.

Dolls are very difficult to make.

Just let me take a look

at the dolls others made.

Then I can learn it.

Ye Yan.

Yes.

Go find out

if what Seventh Miss said

is true.

Yes.

Who's there?

Answer me,

or I'll call for help.

It's me, it's me.

Who are you?

It's me,

your Third Brother.

You must be joking.

How come I don't know

you're my Third Brother?

Are you drunk?

Why are you two

being so furtive?

The inner gate is locked.

Why are you here alone?

Mind your own business.

You go back first.

I'll check on her.

Okay.

Stay there.

Is everything alright?

Yes.

I can drink more!

Okay, you can drink more.

What are you doing?

I want to reach the sky.

-I'll climb the tree. -Stop it.

Come down, come down.

I'll reach the sky.

It's very late now.

Sit properly.

You sit too!

Did…

Did…

someone bully you?

Who dares to bully me?

Third Brother,

recently,

I've been thinking about the days at the villa.

Life there was free

and unrestrained.

If someone had really bullied me,

would you avenge me?

You were really bullied?

Who dares to bully me?

I'm tough!

Let me take you back, okay?

I swallowed it back.

I swallowed it down.

Third Brother.

I want...

I want you to stay with me forever.

Of course I'll always be with you.

I'll be with you in the next life too.

In the next life,

we will…

be brother and sister again.

♫It's easy to follow and protect you, but hard to tell you how I feel about you♫

I don't want to be your brother.

♫Thinking about you brings a blush to my face♫

♫Asking what destiny is, we go on this journey together♫

♫When you lean on me, both of us blush♫

My Lady, you're awake.

Last night,

how did I get back?

Third Young Master brought you back.

Only Xuezhi and I know about it.

My Lady, you went out late at night.

Why didn't you let us

accompany you?

What's this?

It's hangover soup sent by Shao'an.

He said Third Young Master thought

you might need it in the morning.

It's all my fault.

I shouldn't have

let you drink last night.

You finished

an entire jug of rice wine.

I won't drink so much again.

Oh, My Lady,

I found an old woman

who once worked in Chen's Mansion.

I learned from her that

the cook they hired back then was named Qian Danian.

He was from Yangzhong, Zhenjiang.

Because he was good at cooking,

Old Master Chen

kept him.

But not long after,

that cook fell ill and died.

Died?

Yes.

Now,

there's no one left to verify the story.

Young Master, have some tea.

Yesterday, didn't anything

happen to Seventh Miss?

Qingqu and Xuezhi

both said nothing happened.

However,

Qingqu was seen by Manager Zheng

drinking at a tavern

with an old woman.

She gave her some money,

seemingly inquiring about something.

Who is that old woman?

I've looked into her.

She's a former servant

of Madam Chen's maiden family.

She was expelled

for making a mistake.

The Chen family?

Richie?

Richie?

Yixiu.

I forgot something.

Yixiu.

I didn't.

Yixiu!

I'm calling you. Can't you hear me?

Isn't this Sixth Uncle?

Where did Sixth Uncle

come from?

Did he fly

out of the water?

My elder sister went out

to buy things for the exam.

She won't be back for a while,

so I snuck out.

Um,

how's my Richie doing?

I knew it.

He can't be here for me.

He's here for Richie.

Richie, well, has been sent away.

Sent away?

Where to?

Richie…

It's given to Seventh Miss.

I see.

Why are you a bit weird today?

You speak in a sharp and sarcastic tone.

Am I weird today?

It figures.

Sixth Uncle

has always liked

beautiful people, scenery, and things.

I'm fat and ugly.

I can't let him see me.

Let's go, let's go.

I don't want him to see me.

Yixiu.

H-How did you know that?

I didn't mean what I said

to my elder sister.

You didn't mean it?

Then what did you mean?

I don't care what you meant.

Lin Mao, you're a

hypocrite, a despicable

two-faced scoundrel!

Let me tell you,

I-I'm going out now.

You know what?

You want to explain?

I don't have time for that.

I can't hear you.

I don't want to hear it!

I don't want to hear it!

Don't try to explain.

Let's go.

I…

Miss Yang.

Greetings, Mr. Luo.

No need for formalities.

I've already asked my men

to inquire about your brother.

Don't worry.

I'll do my best

to help you find your family.

Mr. Luo, you've helped

my family and me so much.

I have no way to repay you.

If I'm fortunate enough to reunite with my brother,

I'll certainly

set up a longevity tablet for you at home,

wishing you health and peace.

You're exaggerating it.

That's the least I could do.

Also,

you really don't need to do needlework

to repay me anymore.

My Lord, why are you looking at me like that?

Is there something wrong with me today?

No. I apologize for my rudeness.

It's just that

you and an old acquaintance of mine

look remarkably alike.

Do you mean

the person Old Madam Luo mentioned that day?

I knew

that little minx had come

with no good intentions.

I wonder what Old Madam

was thinking.

Why did she let that woman

who looks like Madam Gu stay?

The whole mansion

is full of rumors now.

They're saying…

Don't be rude.

A guest is a guest.

Don't gossip.

Let's go.

I need to take Yixiu

to visit the princess later.

Yes.

Go to Sixth Miss

to see if she's dressed up.

No need to be so polite.

Stay as long as you need.

Thank you, Mr. Luo.

She looks just like…

Brother, who do you think she looks like?

She looks like Minglan.

Sister-in-law passed away

so many years ago.

I didn't expect

that you could still clearly

remember her face.

Brother, I have some matters to attend to.

I'll take my leave.

Grandmother, you just said

my father, uncle,

and mother

grew up together?

The Luo and Gu families have been friends for generations.

When the old masters of the two families were alive,

they often visited each other.

I watched

Minglan grow up.

She was like a daughter to me.

I planned to make her my daughter-in-law

after she grew up.

Then at that time,

why didn't you arrange for my mother

to marry my uncle?

Why are you

asking about these things today?

I'm just curious.

Miss Yang and my mother

look so alike.

Every time I see her,

I think of my mother.

So, I'm curious about the things

that happened before my mother died.

Your uncle's marriage

was arranged by your great-grandfather

and Mr. Chen, the Grand Secretary

of the Hanlin Academy.

The Luo and Gu families

interacted a lot.

Your mother

was then betrothed to your father.

Well,

that girl does look like your mother,

but after all, she's not her.

Don't think too much about it.

My Lady,

today,

did you intentionally ask Old Madam

about what happened back then?

I've never been able to understand

why Aunt Chen harmed my mother.

The other day,

Xuezhi inadvertently said something.

She said

that my uncle saved Miss Yang

because he felt

compassion for her.

Do you suspect

that Madam Chen harmed Madam Gu

because of Eldest Master?

[Luo's Mansion]

My Lady.

These are writing tools for the exam.

Madam Lin had someone

deliver them.

They're for Xuan.

Everything he may need is here.

Put them away.

Yes.

By the way,

did Xuan have dinner today?

No, My Lady.

Look, my brush is broken again.

Young Master.

What's this?

Madam Lin

had someone deliver

writing tools to you.

Let me see.

This brush is quite good.

Don't touch it.

What's wrong?

This is

from Madam Lin.

We're at a critical moment now.

We need to be careful about everything.

Things from others,

no matter how good, cannot be used.

I'll prepare all the things

you need for you.

Ying,

go bring my brush

for Xuan.

Yes.

Xuan,

why don't you have some dinner

before going back to study?

Have dinner?

I don't even have enough time to study,

let alone eat.

Don't waste my time!

My Lady,

Xuan has been studying day and night

without eating or drinking.

If this goes on,

he'll fall ill.

Ever since the last literary contest banquet,

Xuan has been acting a bit strange.

A few days ago,

Father called him over to test his studies.

Surprisingly, the one in the Jimo Pavilion also went.

After returning,

Xuan refused to have dinner

and even tore up all the essays he had written.

I asked him what happened,

but he told me to leave him alone.

Could it be that

Second Master said the one in the Jimo Pavilion

outperformed Xuan?

The one in the Jimo Pavilion

is also very scheming.

He and Luo Yining

are birds of a feather.

The exam is coming up soon.

What if Xuan fails…

Xuan has been studying hard since he was young.

Moreover, he knows what this exam

means to him.

How could he possibly fail it?

I'm not saying

Xuan may fail the exam,

but if that guy's grade

is better than his

and Second Master favors that guy more,

what should we do?

When will Lady Qiao return?

Bring it over. Let me take a look.

Yes.

Lin Hairu

prepared the same things

for both young masters of the second household?

Yes, My Lady.

My Lady,

if it's discovered,

there'll be serious consequences.

We can't worry about that now.

Go find someone reliable outside

to do this thing.

I don't care how much it costs.

Just bring the thing back to me as soon as possible.

Go do it!

Yes.

Mother,

shouldn't you be watching Shan study?

Where are you taking me?

We're going to meet the princess today.

T-The princess?

So suddenly?

I received a sudden invitation.

The princess asked me to bring you along

to visit her.

She just invited you and me?

Yes.

[Zaiyun Hall]

It turns out

you're the son of the princess.

Sorry that

I haven't properly introduced myself.

I'm Han Zhao, son of the Eldest Princess.

Greetings, Madam Chen.

Greetings, Sixth Miss.

After you.

Mother, the guests are here.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Madam Chen, Sixth Miss.

My son has always had a poor appetite.

I've heard that with Sixth Miss's help,

it has improved a lot recently.

I'm very grateful.

So I invited you both

to my home to express my gratitude.

Your Highness, you're too kind.

It's my daughter's honor to be acquainted

with Young Master Han.

Madam Chen, you're so humble.

It's my honor

to meet Yixiu.

I've asked the kitchen

to prepare some delicious dishes.

Please.

Everyone, enjoy.

That dish is only for decoration.

Decoration? What a waste.

Mother,

I've always felt that

using food for decoration is a waste.

His Majesty often tells us

to work hard for the country and live a frugal life.

We really should change the convention

of using food for decoration.

Delicious.

You have a point, Son.

Sixth Miss, be my guest.

Okay.

The meat today

is delicious, with a hint of freshness

and a slightly spicy taste.

There is frankincense and pepper in it, right?

Sixth Miss, you can tell that just by the smell?

I like studying these things

in my spare time.

The freshness is indeed from frankincense.

I brought the pepper

from the palace

and gave it to the kitchen.

Your Highness, you love food too?

I'm always thinking about

how to make something delicious

to make my son

eat a bit more.

You must eat more in the future.

Don't let the princess's efforts go to waste.

Alright, I'll try my best to eat.

Then have more meat.

Pepper improves blood circulation and warms the stomach.

It's very good for your health.

Okay.

I wish

Zhao could always have

such a good appetite.

A couple of days ago, he couldn't eat anything,

which worried me terribly.

Fortunately, with Sixth Miss here,

my boy

is finally willing to eat again.

If Your Highness doesn't mind,

we can let Yixiu

continue to help Young Master Han improve his appetite.

You can be

less worried this way.

Mother, I'm not a physician.

How can I help treat his illness?

Sixth Miss is innocent and carefree.

So adorable.

Mother, I agree.

[Caifu Garden]

Lin Mao.

You're a hypocrite,

a despicable scoundrel!

I heard that today, the princess

only invited Madam Chen

and Sixth Miss to attend her banquet.

Does she want

Sixth Miss to be her daughter-in-law?

If that were the case,

it would be wonderful news!

You bet.

Now, we…

Shut up!

How dare you spread baseless rumors?

Mother,

how did you find out

that I know Young Master Han?

That day, the princess

sent someone to deliver some pastries,

saying they were a thank-you gift.

I knew

you wouldn't have done anything

improper,

so I didn't ask you much about it.

You mean the pastries you allowed me to eat

whose packaging

was particularly exquisite?

The Eldest Princess

is the late Emperor's sister

and the current Emperor's aunt.

Her status is very high.

In the future,

you should see Young Master Han more often.

It's good for you.

How?

Will I get to eat more delicious food?

Young Master Han

said that as soon as he sees you,

he gets an appetite.

You're so kind-hearted.

You surely want to help him, don't you?

Gets an appetite as soon as he sees me?

That sounds so strange.

Just help him.

It's really strange.

How can there be someone

who doesn't like food?

Indeed, everything is here.

You gave me this task.

Of course I have to finish it perfectly.

However, Seventh Miss,

do we even need to bring our own medicine?

Of course.

Having medicine prepared

can make it less worrying

if Third Brother catches a cold.

Moreover,

the name is good:

Win Win Win.

Perhaps Third Brother

can get the best score in the upcoming exam and the following two.

You're farsighted, Seventh Miss.

Xuezhi,

prepare more charcoal.

This autumn

is cooler than previous ones.

We don't want Third Brother

to catch a chill in the exam hall.

I know, My Lady.

I've already prepared it.

You've said it several times already.

I heard that

you've been investigating the Chen family recently.

Was the poisoning

related to Madam Chen?

She didn't tell me!

Why didn't you

tell me yourself?

Aren't you preparing for the exam?

I didn't want to distract you.

Besides,

it's just a guess at this point.

There's no solid evidence yet.

Third Brother.

Fifth Miss.

Greetings, Third Brother.

Seventh Sister, you're here too.

It's so late.

You're here to see Third Brother as well?

The exam is coming up.

All the young masters

in our family

will take the exam this time,

so I made a few pairs of warm shoes.

I've already sent them to Shan

and Sixth Uncle.

Look.

I've brought a pair for Third Brother as well.

Hope you like it, Third Brother.

Thank you.

Are those from Madam Lin?

Xuan

received the same things.

Madam Lin is truly thoughtful.

Products from the Wanglou Pavilion

are all of good quality.

Xuezhi,

send Third Brother's writing tools

to Begonia Garden later.

Let Third Brother focus on studying here.

Yes, My Lady.

I'll take my leave.

Third Brother, I wish you success in the exam.

My Lady, I heard

Fifth Miss has become much kinder and more restrained lately.

She often sends gifts to various households.

I didn't expect

that she'd send something to Third Young Master too.

Do you really think

she was there to deliver shoes?

If not,

why did she come?

Fifth Sister

will probably come to Begonia Garden

very soon.

My Lady.

You've done as I asked?

My Lady, are you sure about this?

I'll never allow anyone

to stand in Xuan's way!

[Begonia Garden]

Fifth Miss,

you've come at an inconvenient time today.

Seventh Miss

has gone to visit Old Madam.

It's alright.

I'll go inside and wait for her.

Fifth Miss

made the honey cakes herself

and sent some to each household.

This

is for Seventh Miss.

I'm a bit thirsty.

Go pour me a cup of tea.

Yes.

My Lady, you're back.

What's this?

The honey cakes

Fifth Miss sent over today.

How long did she stay?

As you instructed, I

didn't watch her too closely.

She asked me to make tea for her,

so I did it.

However,

she only took a couple of sips and then left.

My Lady, you suspect Fifth Miss

has tampered with the things

from Madam Lin?

Fifth Sister

sees Third Brother as a threat because he's so talented.

That's why she did this.

She hates Mother so much.

It's such a good opportunity to kill two birds with one stone.

How could she miss out on it?

[Caifu Garden]

Who's it? It's still early in the morning.

Sun's up. Why aren't you up yet?

Let me sleep a bit longer.

Sleep?

You have an exam today.

Don't be late for it!

So noisy.

Sis!

Are you awake?

Yes.

Shan, come here.

Mother.

These are writing tools.

I've prepared three sets of them for you.

They're all here.

Don't leave anything behind.

You must carry this with you.

Alright, I got it.

Yesterday, you said you'd prepare roast chicken for me.

Where is it?

I've packed it for you.

It's in here.

Oh, gosh.

You can't drop your brush on the ground.

It's ominous.

You picked it up.

It's fine.

I'll put it away. Sorry.

Xuan, have some of this.

I made it early this morning

before dawn.

It's pork hock porridge.

Try it.

It can bring you good luck.

My Lady, you've checked it three times already.

Everything is fine.

We can't afford any mistakes.

Don't worry. It's all arranged.

In the exam,

just do your best.

Read the exam questions carefully. Don't be hasty.

Second Master.

I prepared writing tools

for the young masters.

I've never done it before

and don't have much experience.

Take a look for me

and see if I've missed anything.

Bring them up.

Bring up Xuanyuan's box.

Why are there candles in here?

What's inside the candle?

Xuanyuan.

How dare you!

Father, I didn't do it.

Father!

All Xuan does every day

is read books and write articles.

He didn't prepare

that piece of paper.

Then who did it?
