Training Handbook" from Jinjiang Literature)

=Episode 4=

(Luo's Residence)

Young Master, is that painting
with the evidence

not even here?

Young Master, even though
Seventh Lady isn't here,

Haitang Abode is still quite lively.

Go and check it out.

Alright.

It's late at night.
What are you doing here?

I'm not doing anything.

I saw you coming,
so I thought I'd play a little joke.

It's already late now.
Ms. Ying, what are you doing here?

I... I...

Young Lady is hungry.

So, I'm going to the kitchen
to get some midnight snack.

Why do I need to tell you, anyway?

Young Lady,

why did you suddenly decide
to learn bookkeeping?

Madam Lin is good at doing
business and bookkeeping.

Getting along with
such a great teacher,

I can acquire more skills,

which is also a good thing.

Who knows, maybe I'll be
a shopkeeper in the future

and manage my own shop.

The Luo family is
wealthy and prosperous.

How could Young Lady possibly need
to go out and earn money?

Everything in this world is impermanent.

As a woman,

it's better for us to equip ourselves.

You must be tired today.
Go back and rest early.

Young Lady, Xue Zhi isn't here,

let me fetch some water
for you to wash up.

Young Lady, you are...

Someone came to my room just now.

Someone?

- Let me go and check outside.
- Hold on.

The Old Master's painting of cypress
is famous worldwide.

I guess the artistic conception
must be extraordinary.

It's a shame I haven't had
the chance to see it.

If I could copy it daily,

I'd surely improve my skills.

Could it be him?

This was found on Ying, and there's

still some powder in it.

Throw it into Haitang Abode.

Find a spot that's not too obvious
but also not too hidden,

making sure Seventh Lady can find it.

Got it.

Father, I want to study.

Hold out your hand.

Why are you hitting me?

First,

you didn't greet me when you saw me.

Second,

I've already told you,
without my permission,

you are not allowed to see me.

You said you wanted to study?

Xuan is already studying at the academy.

I want to study too.

You can't study

because you're not qualified.

(Chen Jiuheng)

Confucius said.

Confucius said.

To learn and practice what is learned.

To learn and practice what is learned.

Isn't that a joy?

Isn't that a joy?

To have friends come from afar.

To have friends come from afar.

Isn't that a pleasure?

Isn't that a pleasure?

To learn and practice what is learned.

Isn't that a joy?

To have friends come from afar.

Isn't that a pleasure?

Where do you come from, my friend?

You come every day
to eavesdrop on my lessons.

You should be very familiar with me.

Why are you still afraid of me?

The class has ended,

and yet you're still studying here.

You're truly a good child
who loves to study.

My father doesn't allow me to study.

He doesn't like me very much.

I sneak over here every day
to listen to your lessons.

But, it's time for lunch now.

Why aren't you going home to have lunch?

No one in my family cares about me.

Come.

Sit here.

You must be hungry. This is for you.

Kid,

do you know there's a type of bird?

It doesn't spread its wings
for three years,

but when it does,
it could soar to the sky.

Though it doesn't chirp often,

when it does,
it makes everyone astonished.

Victory and defeat
are unpredictable for warriors.

Bearing shame and enduring humiliation
is a man's duty.

Remember,

as long as you don't belittle yourself

and work hard in your studies,

one day

you'll soar high in the sky.

(A teacher is like a second parent to me.)

(Without his guidance back then,)

(I wouldn't be who I am today.)

(He was wronged and died unjustly.)

(I must seek justice for him.)

(Luo's Residence)

Lan.

Lan,

if you have any needs,

feel free to come to me.

Thank you, Hairu.

We don't need anything.

To answer all the madams,

the Old Madam is much better now.

But, she's just a little tired today.

So, there's no need for greetings.

Please, all of you may return.

Please take care of Mother.

Ms. Xu,

has Grandma fallen ill again?

Should we call Physician Li here?

Madam Lin, Seventh Lady, don't worry.

Old Madam had some sweets
last night and slept late.

She's just a little sleepy today.

How many times have I told you all?

Don't meddle in others' affairs.

Just take care of yourself.

It was Sixth Sister who started it.

I was just asking casually.

But, Mother,

why isn't the household management

handed over to our side?

Even though Father's official rank
isn't as high as Second Uncle's,

you come from a prestigious family,

and Grandpa was even a scholar
at the Hanlin Academy.

Surely, you're more qualified
than Madam Lin.

Exactly! And isn't
Mistress Qiao just a concubine?

Yet, she's been managing it for years.

Enough.

I don't want to bother
with these trivial matters.

All I hope for is that you all

live up to expectations.

But, look at you now.

You always follow the cloud.

There's no difference
from the common women in the town.

Go back

and copy the
"Women's Precepts" ten times each.

Seventh Lady, this is...

This is from Madam Lin.

She noticed that you didn't have
enough coal,

so she sent some more for you.

Third Brother caught a cold before,

so you need to take care and keep warm.

Thank you, Seventh Lady.

It was probably Seventh Lady

who reminded Madam Lin.

You're welcome.

I was actually

going to bring some snacks,

but a thief got into my room last night.

And, there's an investigation
carrying on now.

That's no small matter.
Does Butler Bai know about it?

I checked through it,
and nothing seems to be missing.

So for now, there's no need
to alert the whole residence.

You should still be cautious about this.

Don't worry. I've locked up
all the important things.

That's great.

The potted plants
in Third Brother's courtyard

are growing so well.

If you like them,

I'll have Shao'an bring
a few pots over later.

That's good.

Then, I'd like Third Brother
to pick them for me.

This pot is growing well.

This looks nice too.

I like that one.

That one was pruned badly
by Shao'an before.

I'm waiting for it to grow a bit more
before trimming it again.

I don't think so.

I feel like it has some artistic sense.

It looks quite messy,

but there's a sense of upward momentum.

Look at this side.

If I were to carve a couple of
the sword-wielding figures right there,

wouldn't it give off a sense
of striving for the better?

You are always ambitious.

Striving for the better?

Seventh Lady, you got what I meant.

Alright.

I'll trim it a little more
and send it over to you later.

Thank you, Third Brother.

I'm leaving first.

Young Master,
Seventh Lady is so kind to us.

She's here to check the footprints.

Footprints?

What footprints?

The ones I left last night.

I stepped in the incense ash.

Young Master,

so you make mistakes too?

So, did she discover anything just now?

But, no worries.

Young Master had me
return Ying's scented sachet.

They might think the footprints
were left by the person

who put the scented sachet.

You're underestimating Seventh Lady.

I've observed the footprints.

The shoe size does match,

but there are at least five, if not ten,

men in the residence
with the same shoe size.

I can't confirm that it was Jimo House.

Perhaps I'm just overthinking.

He's always shown interest in
Grandpa's paintings,

and last night, those were
exactly what had been moved...

Lady.

(Haitang Abode)

When the maids
were cleaning this morning,

they found this under the table.

This scented sachet isn't
from Haitang Abode.

Judging by the stitching,

it's not ours.

Lady, I've seen similar stitching
on a scented sachet

embroidered by Ying

from Bilian Pavilion.

Lady,

this scent seems off.

Could it be something
the thief left behind last night?

Even if she suspects,

a single footprint isn't
enough to prove anything.

But since she hid the painting,

it won't be easy to find it anymore.

This Seventh Lady is really...

We're not her enemies.

Why is she so guarded against us?

It's not wrong to be cautious
in this residence.

Maybe when she sees the scented sachet,

she'll realize it's a warning from us.

Hopefully, Seventh Lady is smart enough.

Otherwise, the effort
we've made to get close to her

will be ruined with nothing obtained,

and Mistress Qiao will send us back
to the side yard.

It's not that simple.

Mistress Qiao has met
her opponent this time.

It's done. Take it away.

Alright.

By the way, Xue Zhi,

where did you find this scented sachet?

I found it under the table
near the incense burner.

They've already poured
the medicinal powder.

But, why would they
leave the scented sachet

in such an obvious spot

under the table?

Perhaps they were panicked and careless.

That's why they
dropped it somewhere else.

Rather than it being dropped,

it seems more like

someone deliberately left it there.

Lady, do you mean...

If I guess it correctly,

I think someone is trying to help me.

Lady!

Lady, I figured out what this is.

It's a kind of medicinal powder

that will cause a rash
when you touch it.

But, it's not life-threatening.

The people from Bilian Pavilion

are obviously trying to harm me.

It seems

I need to create a mess for them too.

Has the restriction
on Yuechan been lifted?

Yes.

But, Mistress Qiao has been unwell

and hasn't left her room.

Second Master,
would you like to visit her?

No need. Get a Physician to check on her.

Alright.

Father.

Why aren't you in your own courtyard?

What are you doing out here?

I just delivered some
potted plants to Madam Lin.

I'm heading back now.

You seem quite adept at
taking advantage of the condition.

What a mind full of scheming.

Your devious nature
reminds me of something...

Father!

Why are you so agitated?

Father, please go visit Mistress Qiao.

She is...

I've already asked Butler Bai
to fetch a Physician.

As for you,

stay out of the inner household matters

and focus on your studies.

You know my expectations for you.

I understand.

But, Father,

although Mistress Qiao's restriction

was lifted, her guilt
has worsened her condition.

It's a psychological issue.

You should go visit her.

What happened?

- Don't touch it.
- What are

these messy things?

- Don't touch them.
- Throw them away!

Don't touch it, Hairu.

I'll teach you a lesson!

You...

I'll teach you a lesson!

Mother.

This is...

This... This is my youngest brother.

(Lin Mao)
My Sixth Brother.

Sixth Brother.

You should call me Sixth Uncle.

This is Seventh Lady, Yining,

whom I often mentioned in my letters.

Greet her.

Seventh...

Yining.

Hello, Sixth Uncle.

Don't be afraid.
This means Fu Gui likes you.

Fu Gui.

What a peculiar name.

Of course.

The name of my goose comes from a poem.

"The wealth of life is
like a dew on the grass,

and the prestige earned is
like a flower by the roadside."

It means that wealth in this world

is trivial and not worth longing for.

You...

Sixth Uncle,

you are indeed well-educated.

What well-educated?

He spends all his time on nonsense!

My parents had him late in life,

and the whole family
had high hopes for him.

But from the age of ten,

he became obsessed
with all sorts of odd things.

We've been worried so much about him.

We thought

the Luo's Residence
was a scholarly family,

so they sent him here to me

to be influenced
by the scholarly atmosphere.

Niece,

I've heard so much about you.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

Sixth Uncle, you're too serious.

By the way,

I have a gift for you.

An osmanthus hair oil
I made myself.

You still have it with you? Let me see.

Mother, stop hitting him.

Where have you hidden it all?
Let me see.

It's broken now, sister.

- You still dare to pick it up.
- My face cream!

My rouge!

I've just done mixing them.

Stop hitting him, Mother!

I need to talk to you
about something important.

I'll deal with you later. And you too!

- Let's go, Mother.
- I'll deal with you later.

Fu Gui.

He's driving me mad.

Mother, calm down.

I came to talk about Mistress Qiao.

What's wrong with her again?

Her restriction has just been lifted,
and she's causing trouble again?

No,

it's about the accounts
you gave me last time.

I went through them all.

The records for brocade, ginseng, tea,

and bird's nest

are all unclear.

I checked the storeroom,
and they don't match up either.

Also, our family's rented shops

are priced much lower

than others.

See? You understand it so quickly.

You're still smart.

Rui Xiang.

Go call Mistress Qiao.

I'll settle the accounts with her.

Alright.

Mother, I have one more request.

A request? Go ahead.

I want an old maid.

Didn't the Old Madam

just send four maids to your courtyard?

What happens?
Are they not to your satisfaction?

No, that's not it.

I want

Mistress Qiao's maid, Ms. Li.

Let me think of a way
to arrange that for you.

(Caifu Abode)

Do you know why Madam Lin
is summoning us?

She only said to bring you,

but didn't explain the reason.

This Madam Lin...

Ever since she managed the household,
she's been causing me trouble.

If anything happens later,

go directly to Second Master.

Greetings, Madam.

Mistress Qiao.

I still have a headache.

Mistress Qiao, are you alright?

My head is extremely dizzy.

Be careful.

Do you feel
more comfortable sitting down?

Much better.

Thank you for your concern, Madam.

I called you here today

for two reasons.

First,

you know that each courtyard
in this residence

has a fixed number of
maids and nannies,

right?

Yes, I know.

As a concubine,

you have eight maids

and six nannies,

which is more than the servants

I have as a principal wife.

Even if Second Master favors you,

this is just a bit too over, is it?

Madam, you're right.

But, I have children.

I have two children with me.

So I need more servants.

That's understandable.

But it's only two children,

right?

I think the servants

for Yilian and Xuan's rooms

should be removed.

How could that be?

How can they be removed?

I'm just following
the rules of the ancestors.

Do you find that unreasonable?

Madam, you're right.

I'll obey your arrangement.

Rui Xiang,

go to Bilian Pavilion
and reorganize everything.

Alright.

For the second matter,

since I'm now managing Luo's Residence,

let's go through
the previous accounts together.

What are you doing?

How dare you take the people of Bilian
Pavilion while Mistress Qiao is away!

Be careful
that Mistress Qiao punishes you

when she comes back later.

Mistress Qiao is currently having
an affair at Caifu Abode.

She won't be back so soon.

Ms. Ying, would you like
to come with me to Caifu Abode

- to ask for clarification?
- You...

Rui Xiang.

What are you doing here?

Reply to Second Master.

Mistress Qiao's courtyard
has more servants

than even the Old Madam's.

Madam Lin felt it was against the rules

and sent me to reorganize everything.

Father.

What's going on?

Lady, they're taking away our people.

Taking them away?

Father,

are they taking them all?

Then, I won't even have someone
to do my hair.

And, what about Xuan's room?

Why do they take
the servants of Xuan's room too?

What Hairu said does make sense.

There are simply too many people

in the courtyard.

Father, please let Ms. Li stay.

She's taken care of Lian
since I was little.

I can't bear to part with her.

- Lady.
- Father.

Father.

Lady! Lady!

- Lady.
- Lian.

Go call a Physician, hurry up!

- Alright.
- Lian.

For the twenty rolls of brocade
purchased by the residence.

Where were they all distributed?

I don't have any recollection
of this at all.

Madam,

those are from the past.

I truly can't remember.

Can't remember?

How have you been keeping
the accounts over the years?

Everything that comes in and goes out

should be clearly recorded.

And for the tea leaves and supplements,
there's only

a record of them coming in,

but the expenditures are stated vaguely.

This month, we just did

a full inventory of the treasury

and many items are missing.

Please go through
all the points I've marked

and organize them for me,

stating where they were distributed

and recording them in the ledger.

Alright.

And,

I never imagined

that Mistress Qiao would be so generous,

renting out our fields and shops

at far below market rates.

People who don't know
any better would think

you've given them away
to your maternal family.

Madam, back then,

it was my first time managing the
household, and I lacked experience.

The lease term was long,

so the prices were set a little lower.

But, you can't run a business at a loss.

In addition, the harvests
from the fields

have been declining year after year,

so I've replaced all the shopkeepers.

If the people beneath you
are incompetent,

you should swiftly replace them.

After all, the entire Luo family

- is relying on that.
- Alright.

My dear, you're here.

- My dear.
- My dear.

Come in.

Are you here to see Mistress Qiao?

I'm here to see Hairu.

My dear, have a seat.

Have your seat.

Have your seat.

Have your seat.

My dear, you must have just
come from Bilian Pavilion.

Hairu.

Mistress Qiao has indeed
been a bit careless

in managing the household.

But Yilian, my girl,

has been a pampered child since young.

If you suddenly take away
all the people around her,

she won't be able to bear it.

I understand
you're concerned for Fifth Lady.

But don't you think I am too?

Surely you know better

the importance of managing
a household and a country.

Without rules and regulations,

there can be no peace at home.

Fifth Lady is of age for marriage now,

and when she marries,

she'll be a Madam of her household.

She should start learning now

how to be a good role model
and follow the rules,

right?

You're absolutely right.

So,

other than the personal maid and Ms. Li,

let's do as you've suggested.

Has the medicine
started to take effect yet?

Did you put it in?

Yes, I did,

especially in Seventh Lady's
scented powder box.

But I don't understand
why the medicine hasn't worked yet.

Could it be a problem...

- with the medicinal powder itself?
- Impossible.

I paid a fortune
to get this from my uncle.

Lady, or we just have
to wait a little longer.

It's useless to have you with me.

Why are you still kneeling here?

Go keep an eye on there
and report back to me.

Alright.

Lady, have some tea.

Ever since you started learning
bookkeeping from Madam Lin,

you've been glued
to the ledger every day.

Madam Lin is straightforward,

but when it comes to bookkeeping,

she's meticulous and thoughtful.

I'm learning a lot from her.

Once you acquire
the bookkeeping skills,

and soon when you marry
as a principal wife,

you'll have no trouble
running a household.

How can an unmarried girl speak that?

Aren't you ashamed?

And besides, who said
I'm learning these things

to prepare for marriage?

I'm learning them for myself.

Lady, if you're not learning that

to manage a household in the future,

then are you planning to do a business?

But among the four occupations...

Judging people based on their occupation
is shallow and ignorant.

If one can support oneself
through one's own efforts,

what's there to be ashamed of?

Lady.

Lady, Rui Xiang brought news

that Ms. Li wasn't taken away.

Fifth Lady cried herself unconscious

and begged Second Master
to let her stay.

I think that Ms. Li

must have helped Mistress Qiao

do plenty of unspeakable things.

It seems Mistress Qiao

won't easily hand her over to me.

Lady, did you request Ms. Li
from Mistress Qiao

because you wanted
to investigate something?

When Mistress Qiao
had a miscarriage years ago,

Physician Gu who took care of her
happened to return to his hometown.

So, they temporarily
hired Physician Chen.

The person who fetched Physician Chen

was Ms. Li.

Lady, are you suspecting

that Ms. Li knows the truth

behind Mistress Qiao's miscarriage?

Not only that.

When Mistress Qiao married
into the Luo family,

she brought this Ms. Li with her.

She must know a lot

about how my mother was framed.

Lady,

what should we do next?

Since Bilian Pavilion
tried to poison me,

it's time we return the favor.

Madam, please have some tea.

Greetings to Mother.

Yining, you're here.

Come have a seat.

It's scalding hot.

You're here.

Greetings, Madam.

You're here. Please have a seat.

Sit down.

Mother,

you don't look well.

Have you been busy

preparing gifts for
the Emperor's birthday?

You're right.

You just reminded me.

Rui Xiang,

go call Butler Bai here,

let's review the tribute gifts again.

Alright.

Yining, what's wrong? Are you unwell?

I feel very itchy out of a sudden.

Why is it so itchy?

And, it's getting more itchy.

Yining,

why is your neck

covered in red rashes?

Really?

Is it red now? No wonder it's so itchy.

Qing Qu, go take a look.

It really is...

Mistress Qiao,

why do you have the red rashes too?

- Where is it?
- It's all over.

What about my face?
Is it on my face too?

It's here as well.

Really?

Go quickly and call Physician Li

to check on Yining.

Hurry up! And check on me too.

What about me?

Go get the Physician.

Physician Li, check on me too!

She's been poisoned.

What kind of poison is that?

I've seen this poison
in the countryside before.

It causes red rashes all over the body
and unbearable itching.

Internally, it causes swelling

of the abdomen, chest, and throat.

In a short time,

it can lead to suffocation and death.

Is there any cure?

I have a detoxification pill,

but I'm not sure if it will work.

- Quick, give it to her!
- Give it to me!

Here you go, Lady.

Is there only one pill?

I only have one.

Then, what about Mistress Qiao?

Find another one, quickly!

Someone!

Physician, someone!

Where is the Physician?

Stop shouting.

Isn't there a Physician
in the residence, Butler?

This...

Madam.

What's happening

with Seventh Lady and Mistress Qiao?

Yining is unwell.

Go find a physician immediately!

Fifth Lady,

may I check the pulse of Mistress Qiao?

Come on, why are you
still standing there?

You should have said that earlier!

Why are you just standing still there?

Go call the Physician quickly!

And the rest of you!

Why are you all standing still there?

Shouldn't you

be figuring something out?

Stop standing there

and go get a Physician!

You...

Mistress Qiao.

Is she dead?

Mistress Qiao's pulse
is extremely weak. I'm worried if...

How could she be dead?

It was just a medicinal powder
that causes rashes.

She won't die.

How do you know the
medicinal powder only causes rashes?

Was it you who did this?

Mistress Qiao.

Did it ruin my face?

Ying confessed everything.

Yilian,

what else do you have
to say for yourself?

Father.

I didn't do it! I didn't!

My dear!

My dear! My dear!

My dear!

You know Lian's character well.

She wouldn't even dare step on a bug,

how could she poison someone?

And not to mention, with something
as vicious as this itching powder?

How did it get exaggerated by Qing Qu

into poison?

Qing Qu may have
some knowledge of medicine,

but she's not a professional physician.

Besides, the symptoms
you two had were dangerous.

It's understandable
if she's misdiagnosed.

Also,

the maids, nannies, and even Butler Bai

all heard what Yilian said.

My dear,

there's something strange about this.

If Lian truly wanted
to harm Seventh Lady,

then why did I get affected too?

My dear,

Fifth Lady has always been
so well-behaved.

It's hard to believe

she could do such a thing.

I think

it's more likely that the old maid
and maids in her room influenced her.

Some servants just take advantage
of their master's good manners,

becoming arrogant and manipulative.

Madam's explanation is reasonable.

Someone!

Drag out all the servants
from Yilian's room

and hit them!

Alright.

My dear.

I'll handle this matter.

Please calm down.

Hairu,

please handle all this.

As for Yilian,

give her 30 lashes.

No one is allowed to plead for her.

Hairu,

let's not spread this shameful matter

about the second home.

Punish all the servants
involved in this.

Make sure neither Old Madam
nor the principal home

hears a word about it.

Understood.

Father.

- Father.
- My dear.

- My dear.
- Father.

- My dear.

Lady,

your tactic of returning the favor

was brilliant.

Even Second Master can't protect
the people at Bilian Pavilion anymore.

For what happened today,
I should thank Mother.

They were the ones

who plotted against you first.

Your Father got really angry

at Bilian Pavilion just now.

If it weren't for that
scented sachet of yours,

Ying wouldn't have
confessed the truth.

Otherwise,

who knows how Mistress Qiao

would have twisted things again.

By the way, where did you

get that scented sachet?

Someone

deliberately threw it into my courtyard.

Who could it be?

Right now,

I'm not sure yet.

Let's not worry about that for now.

We finally

caught Bilian Pavilion making a mistake,

but your father
doesn't want to publicize it.

It's infuriating!

Father cares most
about maintaining prestige.

He doesn't want Luo Yilian

to carry the blame
for harming her own sister.

But every action has
its cause and consequence.

We just need to cultivate
the cause little by little,

so that Father can slowly

see their true faces.

Oh yeah,

there's another unexpected
gain this time.

I've already taken Ms. Li
out of Bilian Pavilion.

But she's been beaten,

so she needs time to recover.
Once she's healed,

I'll send her to your courtyard.

Thank you, Mother.

(Bilian Pavilion)

It's all swollen.

Mother, it hurts.

Why did you act on your own?

If I hadn't been tricked
and panicked today,

I almost fell into that
cunning girl's trap! Do you know that?

Mother, I only wanted

to make Luo Yining fall ill.

That way, Madam Lin would have
one less person to support her.

I couldn't stand how they
kept bullying you,

and I just couldn't swallow my anger.

How many times have I told you,

even if you can't swallow your anger,
you must!

You need to swallow your anger first,

then only figure out what to do.

Do you know how much trust and love

you have consumed

between our bond with your father?

I know my mistake now.

Get this maid out

and give her 20 lashes.

Mistress Qiao, please have mercy on me.

No, Mother!

Ying has already

been beaten by the Madam Lin.

Bilian Pavilion can't tolerate servants
who betray their masters.

Mistress Qiao, I would never betray you.

What happened today
was because Madam Lin

tricked me with that scented sachet.

I panicked and fell for her trap.

I would never dare betray Lady.

How did she get your scented sachet?

I remember after I scattered

the medicinal powder at Haitang Abode,

I kept the scented sachet well.

I don't know

how it ended up with Madam Lin.

Mother, please forgive
Ying this time.

I only have

such a considerate maid
left with me now.

You've been by Fifth Lady's side

since she was little.

You saw her doing wrong, and you didn't

do your part to remind her.

To teach you a lesson.

You can't avoid being lashed
about the hand.

Be gentle with her.

You come here and sit down.

Come.

Let me see your hands.

Yilian,

we have

endured so much

over the years.

It has been tough for us.

You've suffered so much,

and now we can see your father

starting to favor us gradually.

I beg you

to endure just a little longer

for the sake of yourself

and for our family, okay?

I understand.

What happened today should be a lesson.

Keep in mind,

don't act recklessly again.

By the way, Mother, Ms. Li

has been taken away
by the Madam Lin's people.

- What should we do?
- Ms. Li...

Ms. Li has known too much about us.

Will she spill everything?
