=Lady Revenger Returns From the Fire=

=Episode 18=

There are two more boxes
of ancient books

in the backyard.

It's getting pretty late.

Anyway, you can't find any clues
about the developing water at once.

Tomorrow, you'll go out of the city
to find Mr. Ouyang.

So you should rest now.

If you're sleepy, go to bed.

I'll read.

I'll get you a pot of tea

and some pastries.

Tianhao.

Remember to buy some snacks tomorrow.

The trip will take days.

I'm worried Miss Shen won't
be used to eating outside.

Okay.

Never mind, I'll do it myself.

You don't know what Danqing likes.

Danqing.

Small crisp pastries.

Songye crisp pastries.

Surely one of them
is Danqing's favorite.

Zishan, you're sweating.

Let me wipe the sweat.

Thank you.

Danqing.

General, how come you're here?

I just finished my work

and came by to see you.

Zishan is here too.

He can help you take care of the winery.

We can travel without worry.

I bought you pastries

for the road.

Zishan is going with us.

Zishan also...

You're going too?

The Escort Agency
has no pressing business.

After Danqing
and I finish the work at the winery,

we will go to find you together.

General, you may go back.

We'll see you tonight.

What? Danqing.

Chengfeng, what pastries did you buy?

Are there any I like?

They are all your favorites.

See you.

(The Grave of Du Ruoshan)

You mean

Ruoshan's death was caused
by the Luo family?

Ruoshan was healthy.

But he died
after spending a night at their house.

Though the authorities have adjudicated,
I can't accept it.

How could I
let the Luo family get away with it?

Mr. Du, why don't you go
and reason with the Luo family again?

A life for a life.

They can't escape.

They have paid the price for the murder.

Luo Jida was killed
by his beloved daughter, Luo Ailian.

Later, Luo Ailian somehow got burned
to death in the ancestral hall.

(The Grave of Du Ruoshan)

They got what they deserved.

I think

my son Ruoshan was bewitched
by Luo Ailian.

That's why he died.

Luo Ailian.

My son died.

Luo Jida's daughters ended up bad.

So my son may rest in peace.

Luo Jida has three daughters.

One of them is dead.

One of them is missing.

And the last one
has become a tavern maid.

A tavern maid?

I hear she has fallen to the point
of selling liquor at Zuiyun Tower.

A tavern maid at Zuiyun Tower?

Thank you for helping me out just now.

I'm Luo Xue'er, 21 years old.

Should call you with the honorific?

The Luo family?

Mr. Du, what's her name?

Luo Jida's second daughter
is Luo Xue'er.

Catch the thief!

- Someone is stealing!
- Get away.

You're stealing.

- Let go of me!
- Give it to me.

- My purse!
- Give it back to me.

Go away!

You win.

Are you alright?

Make way!

I'm fine.

Your purse.

Thank you.

I am Luo Xue'er.

Do you still remember me?

I didn't expect to see you again.

Yes, indeed, it's unexpected.

Are you free now?

I have something I want to ask you.

Ying'er, you said you had something
to ask me.

What is it?

Well,

are you the second daughter
of the Luo Family in Liao City?

One more question.

Am I good to you?

Of course, you are.

Ever since my family declined,

I've been humiliated and scorned.

They all treat me as a maid.

But you treat me well.

Good.

I have something else to ask you.

You mustn't lie to me.

Okay.

Do you remember Du Ruoshan?

Mr. Du?

Why did you ask about him?

Tell me how Du Ruoshan died.

Was it Luo Ailian who killed him?

Or was it someone from your Luo family?

It wasn't me, Ying'er.

It has nothing to do with me.

To be honest,

Du Ruoshan was my distant cousin

and also the man I liked.

If you have a conscience,
tell me the truth of his death.

After all, I saved you once.

(I see.)

(If I share an enemy with her,)

(she and I will be friends.)

It was Luo Ailian.

She was jealous that Mr. Du
liked my little sister.

So she pretended to be Shuangshuang
and met with Mr. Du at midnight.

But Mr. Du disliked her.

In the midst of their argument,
he died of palpitations.

Luo Ailian.

It was actually her.

If you know the truth,
why not explain it to the authorities?

To be honest,

my mother was a concubine.

Luo Ailian threatened me.

If I turned her in, she would kill me.

My father refused to cover up for her

and made her marry Mr. Du
as a form of apology to the Du family.

I can't believe
she ruthlessly murdered my father.

Later, the ancestral hall caught fire,

and she perished in the flames.

A fire burnt all the evidence
and witnesses to ashes.

Then the authorities closed the case.

So that was the true story.

Since Luo Ailian is already dead,

she has paid the price.

Ying'er.

Will you shun me

because I'm from the Luo family?

I do hate Luo Ailian.

But I'm sure of one thing.

You're not her.

You are you.

I won't take my anger out on you.

Thank you, Ying'er.

I've been overlooked
because of my background.

And I have very few friends.

So I'm happy to be friends with you.

Not all my friends are loyal to me.

They just follow me for the benefits.

I have a friend
who grew up with me in Liao City.

She is the young lady
of the Shen Escort Agency,

Shen Danqing.

So you and Miss Shen
are childhood friends.

Exactly.

She has never thought
about gaining any advantage from me

and has even saved my life.

She is my true friend.

And now you're my true friend too.

I hope we can be best friends.

(Refreshing Wind)

Miss, you're back.

The clothes
you ordered for Miss Du are ready.

Here they are.

Okay, I'll take them to her.

Okay.

Young Master.

Tianhao came by earlier,

saying that General Xu
has important things to say to you.

He asked me to give this letter to you.

Okay, you may go.

Yes.

Ying'er.

The pink silk
you liked has been made into clothes.

Here they are.

Danqing, please sit.

What are you doing?

Embroidering a purse?

I wanna give up.

I thought it wasn't too difficult
and decided

to do it myself.

My fingers have been pricked
a million times.

but I fail to finish it.

Let me have a look.

Danqing, my purse was stolen today.

Luckily, a girl got it back for me.

However, the purse was broken.

Did you get hurt?

Don't worry. I'm fine.

However, it led me to make a new friend.

New friend?

That's good.

I was worried before.

I have to leave for days with Zishan,

so you will be here alone.

I won't see you for several days?

Alright, I'll be back soon.

Tell me about your new friend.

She's a tavern maid at the Zuiyun Tower.
Her name is Luo Xue'er.

Danqing, you've pricked your finger.

Are you alright?

It's okay.

Luo Xue'er?

Yes, she helped me
retrieve my purse today.

Danqing.

Xue'er is making a living
as a tavern maid at the Zuiyun Tower.

You own a winery.

If possible, could you help her?

Sure, I will definitely help her.

You are so kind.

Luo Xue'er has become friends
with Ying'er?

What's she up to?

I don't know yet.

But judging by Ying'er's look,

she seems to know nothing of the thing
between me and Luo Xue'er.

Luo Xue'er is clever and perceptive.

She must be aware of the relationship
between Ying'er and me.

So she's thinking of how to exploit it.

If I rashly let Ying keep away from her,

it might arouse Ying'er's aversion.

In that case,
it would all be for naught.

If Luo Xue'er doesn't
make the first move,

you can't strike first.

It will also provoke
Ying'er's resentment.

Ying'er is kind-hearted.

I don't want her to get involved.

She is an innocent girl.

I'm afraid
that in a state of being deceived,

she might reveal my things
to Luo Xue'er.

It'll be a danger
if Ying'er stays in Liao City.

To avoid unnecessary complications,

it's best to send her away.

She came here to sell jades.

If her jades are sold,

she will surely have to go back.

That is a solution.

I'll let someone disguise as a merchant
and buy all of her jades.

I'll advise her to spend more time
at the market.

Miss.

Young Master, Miss.

How is the investigation going?

According to your instructions,

I went to look for the butler
of the Xiao family.

But the butler has passed away
due to old age.

Now, the people who know
about this are their old servants.

These old servants left
after the Xiao family was estranged.

It's difficult to find them now.

I still need some time.

That's the only way it can be.

Thank you, Mr. Luo.

It seems the matter is thorny.

I'll give you more men.

Resolve this matter as soon as possible

Yes, Young Master.

I have something else to do.

I'll see you later.

Okay.

General Xu, what do you ask me here for?

Sit.

Zishan, how long has it been
since the two of us drank together?

General Xu, please speak frankly.

I believe
that man will triumph over fate.

Even if it's forced,
there must be a good outcome.

But I've realized
that feelings cannot be forced.

Today, when I saw you with Danqing,

she looked so happy.

I was quite envious.

I should be the one saying that.

Danqing knows your feelings for her.

And she still sees me as a brother.

She's never noticed my feelings for her.

Wait.

You and I are romantic rivals.

You shouldn't have told me that.

That's exactly why I wanted to tell you.

If you're a nobody,

I won't let him get the slightest chance
to approach Danqing.

But my opponent is you.

You are an opponent worthy
of my respect and candidness.

So, I will not play any tricks.
We compete fairly.

You have never changed.

You're always honest

and straightforward.

When we competed as kids,

you put me ahead of three moves

because you're older.

This time I'll put you ahead.

Here, Zishan.

Here.

You look like...

It's safe.

Where's my brother?

He's gone back.

He has lots of work to do,
so he will not join us.

He asked me to take good care of you.

He's gone back?

How come I didn't see him?

Perhaps you took different paths
along the way.

Let's go. It's getting late.

Let's hit the road early
and find the person.

Okay.

Who tied me up?

Prince Yi?

No, that's not right.

Xu Chengfeng!

I opened my heart to you,
but you deceived me.

Mr. Shen, you are awake.

Where's Xu Chengfeng? Get him here.

The General has already left the city.

He asked me to tell you something.

Zishan, I assume that when you wake up,
Danqing and I will have already left.

No worries.

I will protect Danqing
throughout the journey.

Please do not shout or struggle in vain.

Tomorrow morning, Tianhao will
send you back to your residence.

Zishan, your tolerance is high.

If I hadn't drugged you,

I couldn't have got you drunk.

Xu Chengfeng, you despicable wretch!

Mr. Shen, just give up.

The General has instructed
that before dawn,

I can't open the door and release you.

I'm sorry, Mr. Shen.

General Xu is to blame.

He says you live with Danqing,
so you have an edge.

It's never been a fair competition.

Considering that, you can't blame him.

Well, that's too bad.

That's nonsense.

Xu Chengfeng, I'll get to you later.

(Linguan Tavern)

I'm sorry, guests.

The guest rooms are almost full.

There's only one empty room.

Only one room?

There are no other taverns nearby.

You have to make do with it for now.

The two of you are friends.
Is it okay to share one room?

We're not at home.

Mr. Shen, just make do for now.

Are you always so cautious?

I'm used to it when leading troops.

Besides, what if someone discovers
you are a woman in disguise,

covets your beauty,
and attacks you tonight?

Stop trying to scare me.
With your ability,

ordinary bandits are no match
for you at all.

You have that much confidence in me?

Tonight, you sleep on the bed.

I'll stand guard.

You can sleep without worry.

Although you don't look serious,

you are indeed reliable.

I care about you,
so I always think about your feelings.

Is the ground cold?

I'm used to it.

I grew up in barracks.

It's common to sleep outside.

Since you're little?

Ever since I can remember,

my father has taken me
to go out to battle.

When I turned 17,
my father died in battle.

Since then, I've been a general,

fighting my way up to this point.

What a young general.

It must be hard to be a general.

It's okay.

After becoming a general,
I knew a harsh truth.

General's success comes with the deaths
of tens of thousands of soldiers.

Among those soldiers,

some are in the prime

of their youth;

some love their country

and have faith in the world.

But actually, many join the army
because of struggling life.

Life is short.

I fight on the battlefield

and repel enemies

for world peace and people's happiness.

Perhaps this is my mission.

It is because of heroes like you

that people can live
in peace and contentment

without worries.

Alright, go to sleep.

Besides a peaceful world,

what I most want to see right now

is you sleeping soundly.

It's not my idea.

General Xu is to blame.

It has nothing to do with me

not at all.

Young Master, the carriage is ready
to take you back.

General.

Don't make me do things
that offend others.

You have a natural beauty.

Even the plainest clothes
look good on you.

Thank you. I'm flattered.

As an official, he was entangled
with a female prisoner.

In the end, he even lost his life.

What a pity.

That's too bad.

(Notice)

(Will he end up like this guy
if he's with me?)

Danqing.

Danqing.

Why do you look so upset
reading the notice?

Or have you ever committed a crime?

Why are you angry?

I was just joking.

I'm sorry.

Did I say something wrong?

General Xu, we're here
to investigate the developing water.

No time for joking.

Danqing.

Danqing.

General Xu, I've already told you.

Some men are following us.

They might be Prince Yi's men.

They're looking for
the developing water too.

We have to get rid of them.

We can't let them
find out Mr. Ouyang's address.

That makes sense.

Where are they?

Where?

Young Master, you didn't go out?

Let it go.

You find a buyer for the jade

and give him some banknotes.

You let him buy all of Hetian jades
from Du Ying'er.

You warn that buyer

not to let Du Ying'er know
it's our arrangement.

Yes, I'll get right on it.

Go ahead.

Xu Chengfeng.

Mr. Ouyang.

Mr. Ouyang.

He's not home.

Let's go in.

Okay.

I have to say,

the decor
of this courtyard is fresh and elegant.

I guess Mr. Ouyang is a wise person
of great virtue and prestige.

Mr. Ouyang behaves like a naughty child.

He loves playful and weird stuff.

He dislikes playing by the rules.

Did Luo Ailian tell you

about Mr. Ouyang's preferences?

Otherwise, how did I know?

Who are you, kids?

Mr. Ouyang.

Are you sure this is Mr. Ouyang?

What are you here for?

Mr. Ouyang, don't you remember me?

I am a friend of Luo Ailian.

Who is Luo Ailian?

She is the eldest daughter of Luo Jida.

Oh, Luo.

I haven't met Luo for half a year.

Where is he?

I see.

I still have an unfinished game
of chess with him.

Ailian, don't be sad.

I'm not Luo Ailian.

How are you not?

If you are not, then who are you?

Didn't I just tell you?

I am Shen Danqing.

I came to see you before
with Luo Ailian.

I'm old

with a bad memory.

What are you here to see me for?

Mr. Ouyang, have you ever heard
of the developing water?

No, I haven't.

I have stream water and spring water

for brewing and making tea.

And saliva, nasal mucus, and tears.

But I have no developing water.

Why don't you think it over again?

I've already told you.
I know nothing of it.

If there is nothing else,

I have important things to do.

I have no time to accompany you.

Mr. Ouyang, please don't leave.

If we can help you
with your important matters,

could you then provide us with clues
about the developing water?

What important matters?

You're in white.

Just as we entered the door,

I noticed the wet mud on your clothes.

Although there has been rainfall lately,

there is neither silt
nor standing water in the village,

I bet you climbed the mountain
early this morning.

You are in your sixties.

You must have gone up the mountain
to deal with something urgent.

When we arrived, you looked unwell.

It means
you haven't gotten your things done yet.

Alright, if you can guess
right away what I need to do,

I'll tell you what I know.

Well...

I thought you were smart.

Get out of here.

Don't waste my time.

- Leave here.
- Mr. Ouyang.

Don't waste my time.

Get out of here.

- Mr. Ouyang.
- Leave here.

Mr. Ouyang.

Mr. Ouyang.

We think of another solution.

You just said
Mr. Ouyang went up the mountain.

Did he go to pick fruits?

This village is famous for its fruits.

Look around. It's all fruit trees.

But just now, we did not see any fruits
in the courtyard.

I just saw a cellar in his courtyard.

Perhaps the fruits are kept there.

Cellar?

Why is he
in such a hurry to pick fruits?

I just smelled the fragrance
of wine on him.

But there was no smell of alcohol
on his breath.

I guess he is brewing wine himself.

And these fruits are the ingredients
for the wine.

That makes sense.

The minister mentioned in his letter

that Mr. Ouyang is a drinker.

Follow me.

Okay.

The fragrance of wine.

You are quite right.

He is brewing Moonlit Encounter.

The taste is only half similar.

Half?

Who let you in?

Mr. Ouyang.

Don't spoil my wine.

You have a wrong way
of brewing Moonlit Encounter.

Even if you add fruits into it,

the taste is not right.

It will only taste worse.

On what basis
do you reach this conclusion?

I can brew Moonlit Encounter.

Stop bragging.

As everyone knows,

Moonlit Encounter is made
by Miss Ailian's secret recipe.

It cannot possibly be divulged.

How can you brew it then?

The Luo family brews wine, and so do I.

Moonlit Encounter is difficult to make,

but with careful study,
it isn't hard for me.

Besides, aren't you also studying it?

Danqing, can you really brew it?

Since I can develop Chengfeng Wine
and Rose Liquor,

I also can brew Moonlit Encounter.

You're overconfident.

Then we make a deal.

If I can brew Moonlit Encounter,

you will tell us
about the developing water.

That will depend on
whether you can actually brew it.

Deal. High five.

Good, get started.

I don't really know wine brewing,

but I know how to play chess.

I will play the unfinished chess game
with you.

You just leave the rest to her.

Let Danqing quickly brew the wine.

Alright.

Come, Mr. Ouyang.

Come on.

Be careful.

I won.

It was really a good game.

You're a better player than me.

You make me feel inadequate.

I am tired.

I'm going to take a nap.

I won't play with you anymore.

(Why can you do the same thing)

(as Luo Ailian?)

I'm feeling a bit unwell and go back.

♪I've stepped into a maze,
stirring up all the chaos♪

♪I've stumbled
among all the entanglements♪

♪Your face resembles the figure
I'm familiar with♪

(Why did you act so weird
after seeing Luo Ailian's jade pendant?)

why are you here?

Where is Mr. Ouyang?

He's resting.

♪Yet we can't escape
karma's manipulation in the end♪

This wine smells like Moonlit Encounter.

Danqing, why can you brew the wine
that Luo Ailian can also make?

Kid, where are you?

Let's have another game.

Mr. Ouyang is looking for you.

Go ahead.

Okay.

Smells so good.

Please have a try.

This is Moonlit Encounter?

How does it taste?

Let me try it again.

The best Moonlit Encounter

can't be made in a short time.

So I could only start
with the wine you made

and create this.

I think it should taste about the same.

This is the taste.

Tell me how to make this wine.

The recipe for this wine actually
comes from Li Bai's poem Qingpingdiao.

Let me explain it to you in detail.

Qingpingdiao?

(Admiring High Mountains)

Be careful.

Put them in Zishan's study.

Okay.

Ying'er, what are you doing?

Zishan.

Have you sold out your jades?

Yes, I make a huge profit.

That's great.

You will go back home soon.

If you tell your uncle about this,

he will surely be very happy.

No rush.

You bought all these things?

Yes.

I can't enjoy good things alone.

When I make money,
everyone gets a share.

And I have bothered you
and Danqing for a while.

So I got these gifts for everyone,

including Shuixian, Tianhao,

Mr. Qin, Mr. Luo, Mr. Miao,

General Xu, and Xue'er.

They're the unexpected surprise
of my trip to Liao City.

Do you still have Mr. Du in your mind?

How could I forget father?

I've bought him a gift.

I've acquired an authentic painting
by Wu Daozi.

In that case, why not hurry home

and make your father happy?

I want to make Danqing happy first.

I bought her lots of clothes
and jewelry.

By the way, when is Danqing coming back?

Danqing? She hasn't sent a message yet.

She could not come back soon.

If you can't wait, you actually can...

I can wait.

Wait, Zishan.

Do you dislike me?

Why do I feel like
you're rushing me to leave?

How could that be?

Danqing and I get along well with you.

As you girl,
you've left your home for too long.

I'm afraid
that Mr. Du is worried about you.

Miss, I bought the flowers you wanted.

Smells good.

I saw them in Danqing's room.

I want to surprise her when she returns.

I will place these flowers everywhere.

Okay.

I'll do it right now.

Miss.

Careful.

Where should I put it?

This spot is good.

(Luo Jida and Bin's Memorial Tablets)

Luo Jida?

Isn't he the father
of that wicked woman, Luo Ailian?

Why is Danqing
keeping her father's memorial tablet?

And who is Bin?
