=Lady Revenger Returns From the Fire=

=Episode 2=

(Luo Residence)

Father.

(This is agarwood powder.)

Why are you here?

Ailian,

I told the guard the general wanted to see him

to divert him away.

Here are the servant clothes.

Change and go to the side gate.

There's a carriage waiting for you there.

I've been wronged.

Our father's death is fraught with suspicions.

I won't leave without uncovering the truth.

Now, Shuangshuang and our mother

are both adamant that you killed our father.

Prefect Bai is a total incompetent.

If it comes to trial and punishment,

I fear you may lose your life.

If I go now,

it'd be even harder to find out the truth.

There will come a time.

You must first ensure your own safety.

Only then will you have a chance.

I will continue to look for clues at home.

There's no time to hesitate. Go!

Giddy-up.

Giddy-up.

(I have now escaped,)

(but if I cannot clear my name,)

(I'll always be a patricide in the eyes of the law.)

(And Xue'er.)

(She let me go.)

(General Xu will surely hold her accountable.)

(Can she get through this safely?)

Turn back.

Miss,

we've already come this far.

Why bother going back?

My father was framed by someone.

I must find the real culprit

as his daughter.

Miss, please take my advice.

Everything is destined.

It's all preordained.

Effort can change fate.

I will not give up.

I must find the real culprit.

Stop.

Ho.

What?

Do you really think no one has noticed you and your sister?

This is why I put you in the firewood room

instead of the prison.

Just to feel you out.

Let go of me.

You just said you wanted to go back and investigate it.

But why would you turn around

and run away when seeing me?

If you were right,

I can pardon your sister's crime of releasing a suspect.

Back then at the scene,

I was frightened.

Later in the firewood room, I found

there was some agarwood powder on my hand.

Looking back, I thought

it got on me when I was holding my father's body.

The murderer

must have known that my father had asthma.

That's why they used agarwood powder.

Only someone close to my father

would use such a method to kill him.

Do you have a suspect then?

This kind of agarwood powder has a neutral scent.

Both men and women can use it.

I must have smelled it at home.

I just can't think of it right now.

When you did not know my true identity just now,

you thought about returning to investigate it.

For now,

I will believe you.

I earnestly request a chance

to clear my name and find out who killed my father.

This was left to me by my mother.

I treasure it.

I will entrust this jade pendant to you.

If I find out the truth,

I will ask you to return it.

If I cannot prove my innocence,

this jade will shatter

and I'll kill myself.

Miss, please stand up.

♪I've wandered and struggled, and the seal of time remains intact♪

I will be waiting for you

to get this back.

♪One thought goes up as another goes down♪

General.

Word that there's an important lead.

Please hurry back.

I've got military matters.

This is a firework flare.

If there's any emergency situation,

fire it immediately

and I'll have someone help you.

Escort Miss Luo back.

Yes.

Thank you very much.

(Luo Shuangshuang,)

(how can you be so ruthless?)

(Even killing our father!)

Shuangshuang.

Shuangshuang.

Shuangshuang.

Shuangshuang.

She has sneaked back to rest again.

She's a real headache.

Shuangshuang.

Mother, you were looking for me?

What are you doing here?

Go keep watch at the mourning hall.

There are so many people there.

One less person won't matter.

Why must I go there just to put on an act?

Go now.

This is shoddy.

How dare you give me such clothes?

Miss Shuangshuang,

the clothes have just been rushed out.

Time was too pressing.

How dare you talk back?

Do you want to be hit?

Get lost!

(See you in the ancestral hall, from Xu Chengfeng)

(Xu Chengfeng?)

(The handsome and imposing great general!)

General Xu.

General.

General Xu, where are you?

General, come out.

General Xu, stop hiding.

General.

General Xu.

Why is it you?

We're just in the ancestral hall.

Why are you so frightened?

Or are you feeling guilty?

Luo Ailian,

w-w-why are you here?

What else?

Where do you think I am?

In the prison cell?

Prison is for the one who killed our father.

That's not me.

Someone! The murderer has escaped!

Come catch her!

What are you going to do? Don't you dare hurt me!

It's you

who wrote notes in my name

and asked Du Ruoshan out to seduce him.

It's you

who caused the catastrophe for the Du and Luo families.

No, it's not me!

Yes, it's you.

It's you

who was furious with embarrassment

and used agarwood powder

to kill our father after being discovered by him.

No!

Luo Ailian, you're mad!

Trying to absolve yourself by framing me.

Framing you?

Can you swear to our ancestors

that you didn't lie?

(The late great-great-grandfather Luo)

Why should I swear to our ancestors?

It's you who have disgraced our family, not me.

This is the flare given by General Xu.

Once the murderer is found,

I use this to signal him.

Are you admitting it now

or do it in front of the general?

I...

I have heard

the general is strict

with his troops.

Those who lie

will be punished with tongue-ripping

which is so painful and one's face will be ruined.

You'd rather die.

Will you say it?

Yes.

What should I do, Mother?

She mustn't have the chance to speak again.

You mean...

She knows too much.

She must die.

Furthermore,

as long as she is alive,

she will always be a hindrance to us.

Keeping her will inevitably lead to endless troubles.

But...

No "but".

Mother, she's awakened.

You little wretch

even play tricks under my watch.

It was you

who killed our father.

No, it was you who killed him.

You regretted it after killing your father

and then you committed suicide.

Shuangshuang.

Hold her down.

Let me go.

How can you be so vicious?

You killed my father

and now you want to kill me.

Like you're innocent.

It was you who caused Young Master Du's death.

Still playing the good person even now.

Your innocent facade

truly makes me sick.

Let me go.

Luo Ailian,

aren't you a good daughter?

Then join your father on the journey to the underworld.

What are you doing?

Uncle.

Have you gone mad?

Mother.

Ailian.

Mother.

Ailian.

She is my departed brother's daughter.

Why must you be so cruel?

Ailian.

Uncle.

The flare.

General Xu.

You can't help her!

Jizhou,

if you do it,

your own daughter will have to die.

What?

My daughter?

I'm your sister-in-law.

But 18 years ago, you were drunk on a rainy night.

Did you forget it?

Think about Shuangshuang's birthday.

You always say you are a loner.

But your daughter has always been right before your eyes.

Shuangshuang.

What does it mean?

Am I

the daughter of you and...?

Jizhou,

Luo Jida has already died.

You are the only man left.

From now on, my daughter and I

have to rely on you.

Uncle,

you just made a mistake while you were drunk.

My father won't blame you.

Don't make another one, Uncle.

Uncle.

Luo Jizhou,

today she has come to know all of our affairs.

If she speaks out,

what others

must think of you, me and Shuangshuang?

Will we still live?

No, murder is a capital offense.

Besides, Ailian is my own niece.

No matter what, I can't kill her.

Uncle, both of my parents have passed away.

You are my only kin.

I swear I will never tell others.

Luo Jizhou, think about it!

Are you helping her today

or your own daughter?

Uncle.

Uncle,

my father is watching from heaven.

He is begging you to save me, Uncle.

Shut up, wretch!

If you want me to be your daughter,

if you want to become family with us,

don't believe her nonsense.

Don't.

Uncle.

Uncle.

(The late great-great-grandfather Luo)

Jizhou.

You mustn't.

Uncle.

Uncle, help me.

Uncle.

Uncle.

Please, no, Uncle!

Mother.

Uncle.

Help me, Uncle.

Uncle.

Ailian,

I've failed you.

I have to.

I have to help Shuangshuang.

Everyone is selfish.

Don't blame me.

Uncle.

General, please wait.

Please convey this to the elder.

I will surely find the treasure map.

I won't fail him.

Yes.

Half a year ago,

the imperial treasure map escorted by the Shen Escort Agency

was hijacked by bandits.

Besides knowing that their leader is a woman,

there are no other clues.

But the female bandit left

no traces.

Was it

an inside job

and Shen Zishan spread the false news?

I have known him for many years.

He is upright and would never disgrace his family.

Moreover, it was a secret task.

The Shen family had no idea.

There's a fire somewhere.

Such big smoke.

It is not small.

- Fire! - Put out the fire!

Someone!

There's a fire!

You managed to rob

the Longmen Escort Agency.

All thanks to the big fire in Luo's mansion last night.

It attracted all the nearby people and guards.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy.

Mr. Shen.

(Shen Zishan of the Shen Escort Agency) Are you going

to be robbers instead of an escort after your sign

of the royal escort agency

was taken away?

Leave the things you snatched here.

Who do you think you are?

I won't spare your life.

You just wait.

Go.

Young Master.

Young Master.

I got this back from the people who robbed

the Longmen Escort Agency.

Their head escort used rare seeds

to cultivate a rare herb known as the Dragon Grass.

Mr. Miao once said

it might save my sister's life.

Mr. Luo,

exchange this thing for the Dragon Grass.

Yes, Young Master.

I will certainly get it for Miss Shen.

Giddy-up.

Young Master,

a person is floating there.

Pull that one up.

She seems to be burnt.

She's still breathing. Bring her back to our medical hut.

Yes.

Can this woman still be saved?

She's still alive with such injuries.

It's amazing.

Young Master.

The Dragon Grass's here.

Thank you. You can leave.

Yes.

Mr. Miao,

with the Dragon Grass,

my sister can be awakened, right?

Too late.

Danqing has been comatose for too long.

(Shen Danqing of the Shen Escort Agency) She's at the end of her life.

(Physician Miao) The Dragon Grass

is of no use now.

Is it

truly hopeless?

That was the case until today.

So there is still a way!

Tell me.

I will do anything for my sister.

If a fresh, young girl's heart is transplanted to Danqing,

she will be able to wake up.

Otherwise, in at most two days,

she will pass away.

A fresh, young girl's heart.

This woman is not related to you.

And her face is completely ruined.

Even if she is saved,

she may not necessarily survive.

It would be better to save your sister's life.

Your greatest wish before

was to cure your sister

and put your father at ease.

Now your wish

will come true.

You want me to kill a stranger

to save Danqing?

I'm sorry, Miss Xue'er.

You may leave.

Yes.

Yes.

Ailian.

Danqing!

Danqing.

Your sister is kind.

She didn't want to see you kill people.

Nor did she want others to die because of her.

So she made the decision for you.

I'm sorry.

Zishan.

Are you still willing to save the woman?

I have a secret skill called the Miraculous Revival.

I can transfer Danqing's face onto that woman.

In doing so,

Master Shen will not get sicker due to your sister's death.

And that woman

won't have to live in anguish over her disfigured face.

You mean

to have her become Danqing's replacement?

Anyway,

Danqing's life

could perhaps continue in this way.

If no face transplant is done,

will she die?

Her skin is severely ulcerated

and has been unable to heal.

A skin transplant is the only method.

But

the transplant is extremely painful.

I wonder if she can bear it.

Yes.

Please save me.

I want to live.

Miss, are you alright?

Thank you, Miss.

(So it was her.)

Thank you for saving my life.

It's been so long.

You are finally able to speak.

Now can you tell me

who you really are?

Luo Ailian, the eldest daughter of the Luo family

from the Ganlu Brewery.

The eldest daughter of the Luo family?

My father was murdered,

and I was wrongfully accused of patricide.

After I discovered the truth,

I got into trouble.

To cover up their doings,

they even attempted to murder me.

Are you saying

that someone tried to kill you while you were fleeing?

How did you escape under those circumstances?

It was my loyal servant,

Bin.

Miss.

Miss...

Miss, I'll pull you up.

(Virtue) Miss.

Bin.

Miss.

I'll pull you up.

Bin.

Grab the rope.

Miss.

Hurry.

Bin!

Grab my hand.

Let go.

The beam won't hold, and you'll fall too,

No, Bin. We'll go together.

Let's go together.

Grab my hand.

You hold onto me.

Bin!

Bin!

Bin!

(God,)

(if you have to,)

(just take me away.)

(Please spare)

(my lady.)

You've just recovered.

You mustn't get too emotional.

Rest.

I'll come again.

(Luo Residence)

(Father Luo Jida)

Madam Luo,

condolences.

Father.

Ailian.

Why did you abandon me?

Go cry outside.

Don't put on an act here.

They were our family.

How can you be so cold-hearted?

How dare you lecture me?

Stop quarreling here.

Madam,

Mr. Du had Du Bin deliver some funeral supplies

and send his condolence.

He didn't mention anything about his son.

Hypocritical.

Two people from our family died,

so he is afraid of being suspected.

Is there anything else?

Miss Ailian...

Luo Ailian's body has been sent to the mass burial mound.

How could it be sent there?

A person who killed her father mustn't be buried in our family grave.

But...

Master Jizhou,

I have something to discuss with you.

Please come with me.

Shuixian, come help me out.

It hurts so much.

Mother's knitting.

(Why was the knitting Shuangshuang made)

(for our mother there?)

(There were bloodstains on it.)

I know you are kind-hearted.

But it is not the time

to be merciful.

If a word leaks out, we'll all be dead.

As long as we stand united,

no one will be able to unearth our secret.

Let's have the authorities close the case soon.

They've found no clues,

but will they easily believe our words?

Repeated rumor becomes a fact.

Do you know how those words got out?

It was you.

Luo's daughter was forced into a ghost marriage and killed him.

Then she set a fire to commit suicide.

The more real the words sound,

the more they can deceive others.

Things have come to this.

Let's just do as you say.

Over this period of time,

you have been resting.

You only know the very basics of Danqing.

If you truly want to become her,

changing your face is only the first step.

The road ahead

is still long.

This is my notebook.

Inside it contains the past of Danqing and me

as well as her preferences and character.

Take it

and have a careful look.

Danqing

had been cheerful, bold and cute since childhood.

She liked to play in the water but strangely didn't know how to swim.

She was skilled in ink painting and could capture

the essence

of any animal with just a few strokes.

She was brave and agile.

She was especially good at using hidden weapons.

Nowadays, it's being said everywhere

Luo Ailian killed her father.

Since you can't go back

and have put on my sister's face,

from now on, you are a member of our family.

You must be careful in all you say and do

and must not implicate our family.

I will fulfill my duties as Shen Danqing.

I will act prudently.

But since I am alive,

I will surely avenge them.

How can I give up?

It was a narrow escape to you.

Don't bring trouble upon yourself.

You have now changed your appearance.

Forget all of your past.

In the future,

just live as Shen Danqing.

(I will live up to being Shen Danqing.)

(But in the face of my enemies,)

(I will never shrink back.)

♪Reap what you have sown. Don't ask for my mercy♪

♪I enjoy this intense pain♪

♪Let's see which flows first, blood or tears♪

(The phoenix rises from the ashes.)

(I must become Shen Danqing as soon as possible)

(to take revenge.)
