[The Rise of Ning]

[Episode 30]

[Yanrong Pavilion]

Uncle.

When you first came out of the villa back then,

you had your own difficulties.

Seventh Miss has a deep misunderstanding of you.

Why don't you clear it up to her?

She won't even acknowledge

her own identity.

How can I clear it up to her?

As for Song Ziyun,

she still flatly denies

that Seventh Miss is

the Meimei you've been looking for.

I know she's lying.

Why don't we let these two confront each other alone?

Where is Song Ziyun now?

Your Lordship,

she's locked up and is relatively obedient.

Release her,

and see if she goes to see Luo Yining.

Understood.

Today, His Lordship spares your miserable life.

He wants you to leave the capital,

the farther the better.

But you're lucky enough.

The person His Lordship has been looking for

not only isn't dead,

but has become the heiress of Duke Ying.

Otherwise, why would His Lordship

spare you so easily?

Let's go.

Lu Jiaxue came by today.

I heard he also invited

many young ladies to come.

Yining has just left the mansion.

Ask someone to keep an eye on this place,

and also on Lu Jiaxue's place.

Have someone watch there too.

Yes, Young Master.

Third Brother,

come with me.

Third Brother, come and take a look.

How's this room?

Oh, right.

I can no longer

call you Third Brother.

I've said before,

whether I'm your Third Brother or not,

I'll always be by your side,

protecting you.

As for calling me Third Brother or not,

it doesn't matter.

Whatever makes you comfortable.

Your words really put me at ease.

I felt a bit

uncomfortable before.

Oh, and over here.

Look.

We're missing two tea cups here.

I'm planning to use black-glazed hare's fur cups.

What do you think?

That makes sense.

Only those are worthy of your identity

as the owner of Yanrong Pavilion.

And over here, come take a look.

How's this bookshelf?

Oh, and this writing desk.

Come on, sit on the chair and try it.

How is it? Comfortable?

It feels quite suitable for me,

but if you were to use it,

wouldn't it be a bit too high?

You should still try

the stuff you'll use yourself.

Third Brother.

Actually,

all these things

are prepared for you.

I thought since you arranged everything

in the inner chambers of Yanrong Pavilion for me,

there should be a room here

specially for you.

This way,

you can come over anytime,

just like before.

This is prepared for me?

Madam Liu.

You've come so early today.

It's for Yiyu, isn't it?

Yes, Old Madam.

We've already prepared

Three Letters and Six Etiquettes.

My son said

this matter couldn't wait any longer.

That's why he took me

on the road before dawn.

You've gone to a lot of trouble.

Miss Luo.

Yiyu.

When your mother was still here,

she mentioned this matter to me.

But we never

discussed it in detail.

Today,

Madam Liu and Young Master Liu

came in person to propose marriage.

Although I approve,

as your grandmother,

I want to ask you

what you think about it.

I...

If Miss Luo is willing to marry me,

I will treat

Miss Luo wholeheartedly

as my lifelong partner, faithful until the end.

I know this might be

a bit too hasty.

After all, something unfortunate has just happened to your family.

But my son said he didn't want to wait any longer.

This is, indeed, abrupt.

I just thought

that perhaps at this time,

Miss Luo needs someone who understands her

and supports her.

Yiyu.

Or, shall we wait for some more time?

Old Madam.

We'll take our leave then.

Goodbye.

Young Master Liu.

Come on. Go.

I'm grateful for your unwavering devotion, Young Master Liu.

I'm willing to marry you.

Really?

Murderer! Murderer!

Move. Move.

Make way! Move aside.

Mother! Mother!

Mother!

Mother!

Mother.

Is the Liu family treating you well?

Mother-in-law, please rest assured.

To be able to marry Yiyu

is already the greatest fortune of my life.

For the rest of my life,

I will surely love and protect her,

and never let her suffer even the slightest grievance.

No matter what you did,

it has nothing to do with Yixiu.

I won't let anyone

treat her badly.

Shan.

You've finally agreed to see me.

Mother.

I've decided to join the army.

You're not taking the imperial examination anymore?

Since childhood,

I've always obeyed every word of yours.

You wanted me to study and take the imperial examination.

Even though I disliked it,

I didn't dare to disobey.

Because you were always right.

Now,

you must be very disappointed in me, right?

I've also pulled rank on others

and done many wrong things.

I'm in no position to judge you, Mother.

But from now on, I will mend my ways.

I've come today to bid farewell to you.

Please take care of yourself, Mother.

It's my fault for the sins I've committed.

In the end,

I've made my children suffer.

Don't say that.

Actually,

I'm the one who has let this family down.

What's the point of saying this now?

Mother.

It'll be cold on the road.

Bring more clothes with you.

Mother.

Please take good care of yourself.

All... All of us

will wait for you to come back.

Come back?

I'm afraid in this lifetime...

It's time to depart.

[The Spirit Tablet of the Late Madam Luo, Lady Gu]

Mother.

The person who killed you

has been convicted and exiled.

Third Brother has helped me find

my biological father.

He treats me very well.

You didn't misjudge him.

In the future,

I will rely on myself

and work hard to make a living.

Everything will get better.

Please rest assured.

Yining.

Ask your servants

to see where

these things should be placed.

Why did you bring so many people

and so many things?

Since you're not coming back to live in the mansion with me,

I had to at least

prepare some necessities for you.

Also,

check out these maids.

I picked them myself.

They can read and do calculations,

so they'll definitely be of help to you.

Greetings, My Lady.

These two

have been my

personal guards for many years.

Their martial arts skills are exceptional.

You two, listen carefully.

If anyone dares to mistreat her,

beat them until they're crippled

and throw them out on the street.

I'll take responsibility for any consequences.

Greetings, My Lady!

Lower your voices.

Don't frighten my daughter.

We acknowledge our mistake! Please punish us, My Lady!

They've been in military camps for too long

and don't know how to speak softly.

You may all rise.

Didn't you hear her?

Thank you, My Lady!

You may leave now.

My Lord.

I appreciate your kindness.

It's just

I already have Qingqu by my side.

She knows martial arts,

and if I'm in any danger,

she will protect me.

There's also another girl

named Xuezhi.

She has been with me since childhood.

If I were to have so many maids,

I wouldn't be able to manage them all.

Besides, in my shop,

we only serve female customers.

These guards

probably won't be needed, either.

You have a point.

It seems I didn't think it through.

So, you really don't need

any of these people?

But these things.

You must at least

accept these things.

These were all carefully selected

by your grandmother and me.

This...

Mother.

Duke Ying, you're here.

Yining.

What kind of shop are you running?

So many goods.

Goods?

These are all things

I prepared for my daughter.

How can you call them goods?

Well, these people...

They're not customers, are they?

They look rather intimidating.

This...

Besides, I'm afraid there might not be enough space

to store all these goods, right?

What's wrong with having so many goods?

The more goods, the bigger room there is for selection.

There are only so few things.

Would they be enough for my daughter to use?

It's too meager.

Quality matters more than quantity.

I arrange everything Yining

eats, wears, and uses

at the Luo's Mansion.

I know best

what she likes.

Bring in the things

I've brought.

Show me around.

Mother.

This is where the manager

does the accounting.

This is where female customers

can try on makeup

and look in the mirror.

Where's Yining?

She went to prepare some snacks.

Madam Luo.

The other day,

I offended you at the Luo's Mansion.

I hereby apologize to you.

Also,

you took care of Yining for me

for so many years.

I've prepared a small gift.

This is from the palace.

Duke Ying, you're too kind.

Thank you.

What kind of jewelry does Yining like?

She likes everything

that most young ladies like.

Hairpins and such.

Isn't this it?

Simpler ones.

With flower, bird, insect, or plant patterns.

The colors shouldn't be too bright

or too flashy.

What material?

Lighter ones.

Gold and silver are precious.

They're valuable, but a bit heavy.

She doesn't like them.

She said

they'd keep swaying on her head,

making her feel top-heavy.

It's uncomfortable.

She doesn't like gold and silver.

She takes after me.

She likes jade bracelets. Jade has spiritual energy.

That's right.

Have you noted all that down?

Yes, I have.

Mother.

Here's the white sugar cake you love.

Duke Ying, please try some too.

Daughter.

I'll go

prepare a new set of gifts

for you right away.

That's not necessary, Duke Ying.

I've already prepared everything.

Your gifts are your gifts,

and mine is mine.

They are different.

Just wait here.

Yining.

Your biological father

looks pretty decent, right?

He is very nice to me.

It's just that

I haven't gotten used to it yet.

Parents are the foundation of one's life.

Although it's a bit late,

if he treats you with sincerity, it's still precious.

Mother, you're even reciting the Records of the Grand Historian now.

I believe that book

is in Second Master's room, isn't it?

It's only been a few days since you left the mansion.

How come you're already

teasing your mother?

The top scholar of the top tier,

the newly crowned Number One Scholar, Luo Shenyuan!

The top scholar of the top tier,

the newly crowned Number One Scholar, Luo Shenyuan!

The top scholar of the top tier,

the newly crowned Number One Scholar, Luo Shenyuan!

The top scholar of the top tier,

the newly crowned Number One Scholar, Luo Shenyuan!

[Luo's Mansion]

Hairu.

You're now the legitimate mother of the Number One Scholar.

You must be feeling proud.

Shenyuan has achieved first place in the imperial exams of three levels in a row.

It's a great joy for our family.

Ruixiang.

Eldest Madam.

Are the musicians all in place?

The musicians have been

waiting outside the palace gates since early morning.

Please rest assured, Eldest Madam.

I guarantee

the entire capital will hear it.

Give them an extra reward.

Yes, Madam.

Tell them to make as much noise as possible.

I want them to give it their all.

Understood.

Chengzhang.

Mother.

Chengzhang.

Your father, back in the day,

only achieved first place in the county and provincial level examinations.

He only missed out on becoming Number One Scholar.

Now, Shenyuan

has fulfilled that wish for him.

He has brought glory to our family name.

The future prosperity of the Luo family now depends on him.

What I mean is,

you shouldn't harbor any

resentment towards Shenyuan anymore.

I understand, Mother.

Let's go. Come on.

So many people.

Are they here to steal money

or see the Number One Scholar?

We see money every day,

but we'd only see such a handsome Number One Scholar

once in a lifetime.

Third Brother is over there.

So many musicians.

Congratulations, Third Brother.

I'm coming!

My dear!

Third Brother, everyone is watching you.

You'd better saddle up.

The newly crowned Number One Scholar, Luo Shenyuan,

is skilled in both civil and military affairs, and is fit for great responsibilities.

I hereby grant his request

and appoint him as the Director of the Court of Judicial Review,

specially tasked with reviewing criminal cases.

Teacher.

Senior Daoyan.

Your heroic spirits watch over me.

I, Shenyuan, will not fail my promise to you.

This humble woman

wants to pay her respects to the Director of the Court of Judicial Review.

Congratulations on fulfilling your wish, Director.

Speak properly.

You've just entered official service, yet you already obtained a substantial position, Third Brother.

It's safe to say you've made quite a splash.

However, this position of

Director of the Court of Judicial Review

is exactly what Father...

I mean, what Second Master has set his sights on.

It's truly unprecedented for a son

to have an official position superior to his father.

Are you gloating?

I absolutely didn't mean it that way.

As new officials take office, they often make a strong start.

What do you plan to do, Third Brother?

His Majesty has appointed someone like me

with no background or influence,

someone like a newborn calf, to take on such a heavy responsibility.

What do you think it's for?

To "hunt tigers"?

He may not necessarily think that highly of me.

But I think he does want to use me

to lure the tiger out of the mountain.

So what do you plan to do, Third Brother?

Well, I'll

first act as a mad bull then.

It's late.

Let me take you home.

No need.

Qingqu is waiting for me outside.

I'll take my leave then.

You seem to have been

avoiding me lately.

N-No, I haven't.

I just thought that

since we're no longer siblings,

we can't act like before.

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

♫Thinking about you brings a blush to my face♫

Well then, Miss Wei,

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

may I escort you home?

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

Third Brother.

You're entering officialdom tomorrow.

Please be careful in everything you do.

I understand.

The officialdom is like a battlefield.

I'm afraid that in the future,

many things won't go as I wish.

I don't want you to be some mad bull.

I just want you to be safe and sound.

Yining.

If in the future, I have no choice

and have to do

some things against my will,

when everyone else stops believing in me,

will you still trust me?

Of course I will.

Third Brother, you always have

your own reasons for doing things.

I heard that Duke Ying frequently

sends people to deliver things,

and he hopes

you'll return to his mansion soon.

He's been good to me,

♫I'm willing to follow you, hoping to be with you for a lifetime♫

but I have my own ideas.

I want to try

and make my own way through my own efforts.

♫My feelings within make me blush♫

But as I've said before,

Yining,

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

I will always protect you.

In this life, I'll only treat you well wholeheartedly.

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

That's not something I said casually.

It's getting late,

and I've arrived.

Alright.

Go home and rest.

♫I have no regrets, having found you in this life♫

♫A dream of two♫

♫Sharing the hope that we'll be together forever♫

Shenyuan.

You're finally here.

Thank you for coming all the way to meet me, Mr. Jiang.

I'll be counting on your guidance in the future,

Mr. Jiang.

Director Luo. Number One Scholar Luo.

I've heard a lot about you.

It's an honor to meet you.

As I'm new here,

I humbly request your guidance and support.

Director Luo, you're too modest.

You are, after all,

the newly appointed Number One Scholar by His Majesty himself.

You're the chosen one.

All departments are competing for talent these days.

The fact that you've chosen to join the Court of Judicial Review

shows that you're a practical person.

The Court of Judicial Review oversees criminal justice

and upholds the national legal code.

I have always aspired to serve here.

Look at that.

Truly befitting of a Number One Scholar.

What you said

makes us

feel both humbled and honored.

Indeed, indeed.

Mr. Jiang.

I'll take Director Luo

on a tour of our premises

and brief him on personnel matters.

How does that sound?

Very well.

Thank you.

This way, Director Luo.

Mr. Luo, this way please.

Mr. Luo.

This way. Come on.

Thank you.

Mr. Luo, come on.

This way. This way.

Mr. Luo, this way.

Watch your step.

Be careful. Let's go.

Be careful.

The Records Reviewing Section

is in Bay 'Di' on Shelf 'Tian'.

The Detailed Judgment Section

is in Bay 'Huang' on Shelf 'Xuan'.

Speed up.

Otherwise, it'll take forever.

I'm sorry.

I apologize, Registrar Luo.

I lost my grip for a moment.

Clean it up quickly.

Yes, yes, of course.

Registrar Luo,

Director Luo has just taken office,

and he asked for all

the files of the old cases.

Looks like he's planning to do something big.

How would I know

what Director plans to do?

Well...

Isn't he your son?

There's no father and son in officialdom.

All we need to do is manage these files.

Why ask so many questions?

Hurry up.

Yes, of course.

[Luo's Mansion]

What's the matter now?

Why the long face all day?

Who's been bothering you?

It's nothing, Mother.

I'm just a bit tired.

Then get some good rest.

Shenyuan.

This Minced Chicken and Tofu is tender and smooth.

I made it especially for you.

You've just taken office. You must've worked hard.

Have some more.

Thank you, Mother.

My Lord.

Why are you sighing again?

Father also loves this dish.

Father, please have some first.

Shenyuan.

You've just joined the Court of Judicial Review.

Are you adjusting well?

It's alright. I'm adjusting.

What's there to adjust to?

Shenyuan.

You've just taken office,

and you're already investigating old cases.

You have no idea what you're getting into.

I asked Father to go through the files.

It must have been troublesome indeed.

If you're tired, Father,

I can have someone else do it for you.

Do you think that's what I'm angry about?

We're having dinner.

Why are you talking about work again?

Let's just enjoy our meal.

Shenyuan.

You must remember.

As you're new to officialdom,

you should work diligently day and night,

but you must also know your limits.

Yes.

My Lady.

We've visited

many rouge shops.

Have you found anything special?

Their products

are not as good as those sold in our Yanrong Pavilion.

It's just that Yanrong Pavilion

lacks an opportunity

to let everyone get to know us.

So what should we do?

We can't rush it.

We need to wait

for the right opportunity.

Qingqu, are you alright?

My purse!

Catch the thief!

[Liuhe Tavern]

Young Master.

We've searched everywhere near

where Seventh Miss went missing.

How did it go?

We found that several key intersections nearby

were all guarded by people from the Imperial City Guard.

They should be Lu Jiaxue's men.

Lu Jiaxue's men?

Has he made any unusual moves?

Not really,

but a few days ago,

he suddenly released

a prisoner from jail.

Have everyone

search for Lu Jiaxue's whereabouts with all their might.

We must find Yining.

-Yes. -Yes.

I've been waiting for you for days.

I finally caught you alone.

Who are you?

Why did you kidnap me?

What? We go way back,

yet you don't recognize me?

Song Ziyun.

What do you want?

I never expected that you skank, Xu Mei,

would still be alive.

Not only are you alive and well,

but you've become the daughter of Duke Ying.

Heaven truly is blind.

If it weren't for you back then,

how could the Song family

have been destroyed?

If it weren't for you,

how could I have become

what I am now?

How could I have

lived in pure misery?

It's all because of you!

I couldn't understand back then

why Lu Jiaxue would fall for

a country bumpkin like you.

So,

I sneaked behind his back, found you,

and told you

that he sent me to kill you.

I didn't expect that you idiot

would actually buy it.

Idiot.

So it was you.

That's right.

I thought if I got rid of you,

Lu Jiaxue

would be completely devoted to me.

I never thought that for

you skank,

he would actually bite the hand that fed him

and not hesitate to kill the entire Song family!

You're mistaken.

He didn't do that because of me,

but for his own sake.

He only approached you for power.

And he destroyed your family

for even greater power.

What did you say?

To think that Lu Jiaxue would end up

in such a state today.

The person he loves

actually despises him so much.

Good.

Good.

Very good!

You think by saying this,

I'll let you go?

Since he likes you so much,

and cherishes you

like the apple of his eye,

I can only make him

suffer one more time.

Lu Jiaxue!

What?

So you still want to

kill me now?

Song Ziyun.

Behave yourself.

I'll have someone send you back.

Find someone and live a good life for the rest of your days.

It's time to let go.

Meimei.

Are you alright?

You finally admitted

that you are Meimei.

Meimei.

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Are you hurt?

Song Ziyun is outrageously bold.

She harmed you behind my back back then,

and she just tried to do that again.

It's utterly despicable.

But don't worry.

With me here,

this kind of thing

won't happen again.

Meimei.

Now that you know

it was all a misunderstanding,

can you

come back to me?

Song Ziyun's appearance

was arranged by you, wasn't it?

Otherwise,

you wouldn't have shown up so timely.

Yes.

I just wanted her to clarify

what happened between us.

When I found out that the person

who jumped off the cliff was you,

I deeply regretted my actions.

Lu Jiaxue.

If you hadn't approached the Song family,

how could she have come to kill me?

I know you still blame me for that.

But back then,

I really had no choice.

Now

that you know the truth,

can't you give me another chance

and forgive me?

You use anything that can be profitable,

and discard anything that's not.

To achieve your goals,

you'll stop at nothing.

There's a price to pay for that.

For power and status,

you'll have to lose something in return.

But I have never been

insincere to you.

Have you forgotten

the time when we first met?

It's exactly because I can't forget

that it feels so terrifying.

The person

who I've always been devoted to

actually put me in danger repeatedly

for power and status.

Now, to make me admit my identity,

you even set another trap for me.

Meimei.

I've never sold myself for fame or fortune,

and I would never let anything happen to you.

Whether all this is right or wrong,

true or false,

it doesn't matter anymore.

We were never

on the same path.

Stop the carriage.

What are you doing, Marquis Lu?

Lu Jiaxue!

Are you intending to

forcibly abduct a female civilian here,

Your Lordship?

Stop the carriage.

Third Brother.

Let go of me.

Your Lordship.

I'm here to take my sister home.

Please release her.

Third Brother!

Director Luo,

you're really well-informed.

However,

how dare you, a mere Director of the Court of Judicial Review,

stop my carriage?

I'm not in official attire. I came here alone on my horse

in plain clothes

to pick up my own sister.

What's wrong with that?

What if I won't let her go?

Then I'll have to inform Duke Ying.

If he learns of this,

his cavalry

will surely besiege your mansion closely,

making it impenetrable.

By then,

it won't look good

for anyone.

Third Brother!

Be careful.

Meimei.

This matter

is long behind me.

You should let yourself go, too.

Third Brother, let's go.

Are you really alright?

What exactly did Lu Jiaxue want to do?

He just wanted to use Song Ziyun

to force me to admit that I am Xu Mei.

Song Ziyun?

Song Yingshan's granddaughter?

That's right.

No matter what,

he and I are strangers now.

I won't change my mind because of him.

Young Master.

We've been searching these past few days

for Song Ziyun's hideout,

and we found this in a corner.

What exactly is this?

Young Master.

This might be the other half of

the Song family's account book.

Give it to Senior Xia Yong.

Yes.

[New Year's Eve]

Thank you.

No problem.

Greetings, My Lord.

Where's Yining?

In the backyard. Please.

You're here.

Yining.

I was just passing by,

and I thought I'd come in and have a look.

The lanterns are all hung up.

Nice.

They look really nice.

So my daughter is also

good at calligraphy.

Vigorous and forceful.

That was written by Third Brother.

No wonder.

It's clearly a man's handwriting.

Well, it's almost New Year's.

Why is it still so hot?

Please, have a seat.

Yining, what do you

usually like to eat?

I'll have the chef at my residence

prepare some dishes

and send them over to you.

How does that sound?

Please don't bother.

My maids, Qingqu and Xuezhi,

are both skilled in cooking.

Besides, the taverns nearby

have everything I want to eat.

That's good.

That's good too.

Do you like fireworks?

A few days ago, the palace

sent me many fireworks.

They said they're especially beautiful.

But in my residence,

no one dares to set them off.

Would you like to have them?

If you have something to say,

please go ahead.

Then I'll be frank.

The New Year is coming soon, right?

Could you

come home for the New Year's Eve dinner?

This way, you can also spend some time with your grandmother

and your younger brothers and sisters.

They've mentioned it to me several times.

They also want to reunite with you.

What do you think?

After that dinner,

you can stay at home

for a few days if you like.

But of course,

if you don't feel like it,

you can come back anytime.

You don't have to answer me right away.

Take your time.

I'm not in a hurry, not at all.

I have some official business to attend to.

I'll leave then.

I'm willing to go back with you.

I'll go back and get ready right away.

No backing out.
