12
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,000
Useless thing!
13
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:47,360
Where has he been?
14
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:48,590
How did he end up so drunk?
15
00:01:48,870 --> 00:01:50,800
Lady Bai, don't blame him.
16
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:52,950
Today, he invited Master Zheng and asked me to join,
17
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:54,950
but Master Zheng didn't show.
18
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:56,560
He felt bad about it,
19
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:57,800
that's why he drank too much.
20
00:01:58,000 --> 00:01:58,560
Yuanxiang,
21
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,360
we're from the same hometown.
22
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,000
Since coming to Yangzhou,
23
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:03,230
I've helped you quite a bit.
24
00:02:04,150 --> 00:02:05,230
From now on,
25
00:02:05,230 --> 00:02:07,110
if Mu takes you out on tasks again,
26
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,830
let me know in advance.
27
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,670
I understand, Lady Bai.
28
00:02:15,270 --> 00:02:16,920
It's late. You should head back early.
29
00:02:17,950 --> 00:02:19,200
Then, I'll take my leave.
30
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:20,480
Rest well.
31
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:36,360
It hurts!
32
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,040
You're hitting me hard.
33
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,670
Yuanxiang only performs. She doesn't sell herself.
34
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:41,880
Sending her to pour drinks,
35
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,160
you're putting her at risk!
36
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,430
A songstress shouldn't only perform.
37
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:47,110
She even dreams of marrying me,
38
00:02:47,510 --> 00:02:49,080
but does she know her place?
39
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:50,200
Such a hassle.
40
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:52,430
Stop making indirect jabs at me.
41
00:02:53,550 --> 00:02:54,830
My dear sister,
42
00:02:55,270 --> 00:02:56,600
I didn't mean it like that.
43
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:58,160
Don't overthink, alright?
44
00:02:59,880 --> 00:03:00,880
You have no sense of manners.
45
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,800
Even though Master Zheng didn't come today,
46
00:03:11,390 --> 00:03:12,990
I still picked up some news.
47
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,160
Zheng Wu seized the Zhenlang Pavilion back
48
00:03:16,710 --> 00:03:18,880
and gifted it to his lover, Cui Shijiu.
49
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,800
Working with the Zhengs is like trying to get blood from a stone?
50
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:24,670
Well, the blood has been taken!
51
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:27,390
The Zheng family is too complex.
52
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,160
Take Zheng Si,
53
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,040
he's a legitimate son,
54
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,670
and yet they just cast him aside.
55
00:03:33,670 --> 00:03:35,040
So, what do you suggest?
56
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,110
Given the current situation,
57
00:03:37,390 --> 00:03:39,670
if we want to make a fortune, we can't be too cautious.
58
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,430
The Zheng family is vast and wealthy.
59
00:03:42,270 --> 00:03:43,990
Whatever slips through their fingers
60
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:45,200
would be enough to secure my future.
61
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,200
For me to rise as a guild director,
62
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,110
who else would I rely on but the Zhengs?
63
00:03:51,230 --> 00:03:52,320
Depend on your boyfriend?
64
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,110
You're rambling nonsense again.
65
00:04:01,510 --> 00:04:03,230
Father, Mother.
66
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:10,800
You're so generous,
67
00:04:11,510 --> 00:04:13,800
spending a fortune to buy Zhenlang Pavilion
68
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,160
just to give it to Cui Shijiu.
69
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,670
Do you even care about the Zheng family?
70
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:18,920
Father, calm down.
71
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,040
I did this for the Zheng family,
72
00:04:21,230 --> 00:04:23,520
by entrusting Zhenlang Pavilion to Cui Shijiu.
73
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,160
Zheng Wu,
74
00:04:27,670 --> 00:04:29,600
stop keeping secrets from your father.
75
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,110
Just say what you need to say.
76
00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:34,400
Cui Shijiu has been exposed to jewels since childhood.
77
00:04:34,870 --> 00:04:36,480
Transforming jewels
78
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:38,720
is her specialty.
79
00:04:48,870 --> 00:04:49,430
Yu,
80
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,630
you two, step outside for a moment.
81
00:05:15,310 --> 00:05:15,960
Father.
82
00:05:16,750 --> 00:05:17,480
Continue.
83
00:05:17,870 --> 00:05:19,630
Now that Zhang Jinran keeps investigating,
84
00:05:20,110 --> 00:05:22,400
if we hold onto that batch of goods,
85
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,110
it's bound to bring trouble eventually.
86
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:25,280
But if we
87
00:05:25,630 --> 00:05:27,670
let Cui Shijiu manage Zhenlang Pavilion,
88
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:31,550
she can disguise that batch of goods and sell them off.
89
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,280
By that time,
90
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,960
you can truly rest easy.
91
00:05:37,310 --> 00:05:39,070
If any slip-up occurs,
92
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,920
Zhenlang Pavilion belongs to the Cui family...
93
00:05:43,110 --> 00:05:45,110
It has nothing to do with the Zhengs.
94
00:06:05,380 --> 00:06:05,990
Mother!
95
00:06:11,010 --> 00:06:11,750
Come with me.
96
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,230
Are you saying you're using Cui Shijiu?
97
00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:17,630
Is this for real?
98
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:19,480
Of course it's real.
99
00:06:19,870 --> 00:06:21,160
Mother, you know full well
100
00:06:21,430 --> 00:06:23,230
Cui Shijiu has looked down on me since childhood.
101
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,520
If I didn't need to use her,
102
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,360
why would I keep her by my side?
103
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,630
You might fool your father, but you can't fool me.
104
00:06:31,110 --> 00:06:32,550
I'm not lying to you.
105
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:33,990
You have feelings for her,
106
00:06:34,110 --> 00:06:35,550
so you brought her back,
107
00:06:35,550 --> 00:06:36,430
always protecting her.
108
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,310
But her?
109
00:06:37,550 --> 00:06:39,160
She has no genuine feelings for you.
110
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,670
Her loyalty lies entirely with the Cui family.
111
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,070
Mother, don't worry.
112
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,960
I have everything under control.
113
00:06:46,870 --> 00:06:49,230
Besides, as for Shijiu...
114
00:06:49,230 --> 00:06:50,840
Don't bring up Cui Shijiu to me.
115
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:51,800
I don't want to hear about her.
116
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,870
I just feel sorry for you.
117
00:06:55,070 --> 00:06:56,430
You've given so much to her,
118
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,750
yet she shows no real affection in return.
119
00:06:59,430 --> 00:07:01,230

and just wandering around my shop?

but Clear Mind is nothing special.

I use my methods,

This is our new product at Clear Mind.

Not at all!

You all wouldn't believe it.

why don't we talk to Ms. Su again?

Maybe we don't need to withdraw our shares.
170
00:11:13,710 --> 00:11:14,830
We withdrew so pitilessly.
171

Now we want to change our mind?

My lady,

00:11:21,070 --> 00:11:23,120
Ms. Su specifically said,
175
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,400
when Clear Mind was struggling,
176
00:11:25,590 --> 00:11:28,710
it was natural for you to worry about your savings.

Did Ms. Su actually say that?

Yes, she did!

00:11:50,350 --> 00:11:52,350
Order a full set of glassware for me,
188
00:11:53,190 --> 00:11:54,400
and don't give me any discounts.
189
00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:55,830
I wouldn't feel right about it.
190
00:11:56,670 --> 00:11:58,670
Alright, I'll bring it to you in a bit!
191
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:00,310
- I want a set too. - Yes!
192
00:12:00,310 --> 00:12:01,350
- I want the same style as yours. - Me too!
193
00:12:01,350 --> 00:12:01,800
This set?
194
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,000
- Yes. - I want one set too!
195
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:03,550
Alright.
196
00:12:06,070 --> 00:12:07,280
A perfect shot every time.
197
00:12:07,550 --> 00:12:08,400
Boring.
198
00:12:09,980 --> 00:12:12,580
[Solid as Gold]
199
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,390
At this range, it's hard to miss.
200
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:20,310
Even more boring.
201
00:12:23,030 --> 00:12:23,480
Let's go.
202
00:12:24,550 --> 00:12:25,960
Mr. Zhang, you're teaming up with Ms. Su.
203
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:26,910
It's your turn.
204
00:12:26,910 --> 00:12:28,000
Alright, my turn.
205
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:39,910
Nice!
206
00:12:42,670 --> 00:12:45,030
Master Yan, you really are a good teacher.
207
00:12:45,310 --> 00:12:46,550
Tonight, you should have a few extra drinks.
208
00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:48,910
Gaoshou, go ahead.
209
00:12:48,910 --> 00:12:51,310
Alright, I'm teaming up with Master Yan.
210
00:12:51,310 --> 00:12:52,920
Master Yan, I'll go first then.
211
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:53,360
Sure.
212
00:12:56,310 --> 00:12:56,720
Please.
213
00:12:57,760 --> 00:12:58,480
Playing this?
214
00:12:58,670 --> 00:13:00,670
[Solid as Gold]
We used to play this a lot as kids.
215
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:05,880
You're so useless.
216
00:13:08,030 --> 00:13:09,120
Master Yan's team lost.
217
00:13:09,550 --> 00:13:10,630
A drink as punishment.
218
00:13:11,790 --> 00:13:12,840
We'll accept the penalty.
219
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:14,270
Pour me a drink.
220
00:13:14,670 --> 00:13:15,600
I'll drink in his place.
221
00:13:17,310 --> 00:13:18,790
- Give it to me. - No need. It's fine.
222
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:19,960
Enough, you two.
223
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,310
It's time for my second shot.
224
00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:22,600
I drink less?
225
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:23,790
Fine, go ahead.
226
00:13:31,670 --> 00:13:32,390
Mr. Zhang,
227
00:13:32,660 --> 00:13:34,630
today was Clear Mind's grand opening.
228
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,670
Why are so many young ladies
229
00:13:36,670 --> 00:13:38,360
asking you to paint their miniatures?
230
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:39,720
Gaoshou's up to no good again.
231
00:13:43,630 --> 00:13:44,390
You just love
232
00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:45,910
painting miniatures for young ladies, huh?
233
00:13:52,510 --> 00:13:53,480
You really enjoy drawing...
234
00:13:55,910 --> 00:13:58,960
Such a shame!
235
00:13:59,270 --> 00:14:00,270
Aren't you cheating?
236
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:00,960
I'm not!
237
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,240
Get back here and drink.
238
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:02,600
Your turn.
239
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:03,760
Drink up, Mr. Zhang!
240
00:14:04,430 --> 00:14:05,120
You just wait, Gaoshou
241
00:14:06,670 --> 00:14:08,270
Listen, a true master
242
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:10,600
won't be disturbed no matter what.
243
00:14:12,790 --> 00:14:13,790
At this distance,
244
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,670
even being disturbed, I can still make the shot.
245
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,760
I trust Master Yan. I'll fetch you an arrow!
246
00:14:23,270 --> 00:14:23,760
Catch, please.
247
00:14:25,420 --> 00:14:26,480
Alright, I'll shoot from right here.
248
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:27,880
If Master Yan's playing,
249
00:14:28,670 --> 00:14:30,510
the rules of the game should change,
250
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:32,630
or it won't be fair, right?
251
00:14:32,630 --> 00:14:33,880
- Here, grab the arrow. - So, how should it be fair?
252
00:14:34,910 --> 00:14:36,120
You shoot with your eyes covered by me.
253
00:14:36,790 --> 00:14:37,910
That's a good idea!
254
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:39,270
- I agree. - Yes, indeed.
255
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,720
- I agree! - So this is your idea of fairness?
256
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:42,670
Is that fair?
257
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:43,510
Of course it's fair.
258
00:14:43,510 --> 00:14:44,360
Get ready.
259
00:14:45,030 --> 00:14:45,840
Ready?
260
00:14:47,270 --> 00:14:48,150
Aim a bit to the left.
261
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:49,910
I won't listen to you. You're giving bad directions.
262
00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:50,790
Trust me.
263
00:14:50,790 --> 00:14:51,790
I don't trust you.
264
00:14:51,790 --> 00:14:53,310
Fine, then go ahead.

Three, two, one!
266
00:15:02,030 --> 00:15:02,880
Nice!
267
00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:03,960
Perfect!
268
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,360
- Master Yan truly has amazing skills! - Great shot!
269
00:15:06,670 --> 00:15:07,360
Impressive!
270
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:08,760
Just a small feat.
271
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,670
- Come on. - Drink up, Master Yan.
272
00:15:17,670 --> 00:15:18,550
Sure, come on!
273
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:19,840
Excellent shot!
274
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:20,960
Let's have a toast together!
275

sold so well.
277
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,760
May we have success like this every year and day.
278

Father...
287
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,360
Mr. Xu is one of us. Speak freely.
288
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:15,760
It's merely some business trifles,
289
00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:17,910
but I feared it might disrupt Mr. Xu's leisure.
290

No bother.
291
00:16:19,030 --> 00:16:20,550
Go ahead, what is it?
292
00:16:20,960 --> 00:16:24,120
Su Muzhe of Clear Mind has started selling glass as well.
293
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,760
The same batch from the old Qin's Glass Workshop.
294
00:16:27,670 --> 00:16:28,760
Qin?
295
00:16:30,390 --> 00:16:31,600
He hasn't left Yangzhou yet?
296
00:16:31,790 --> 00:16:32,360
Not yet.
297
00:16:34,030 --> 00:16:36,760
And what's this about the glass?
298
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,080
That Qin
299
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:40,510
once dared to produce substandard glass
300
00:16:40,790 --> 00:16:42,790
and tried to challenge my Jubao House,
301
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:45,360
disrupting the operations of Yangzhou's jewelry shops.
302
00:16:45,670 --> 00:16:47,960
So, I teach him a small lesson.
303
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,720
If it's defective, it should be expelled from Yangzhou.
304
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:52,430
Yes.
305
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:55,200
And now, Su Muzhe from Clear Mind
306
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,120
is bringing out that batch of defective glass
307
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,310
to stir up trouble.
308
00:16:59,550 --> 00:17:00,960
Stir up trouble?
309
00:17:01,150 --> 00:17:02,310
Just some glass,
310
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,510
how could it trouble our Mr. Zheng?
311
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,680
Go buy the land deed of Clear Mind
312
00:17:12,110 --> 00:17:13,870
and drive them out of Yangzhou.
313
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:14,870
Father,
314
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:16,790
that land deed for Clear Mind
315
00:17:17,030 --> 00:17:18,590
has already been purchased by Su Muzhe.
316
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:20,310
Then make sure they can't stay in business.
317
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:23,110
With Mr. Xu backing us,
318
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:24,590
what is there to worry about?
319
00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:26,720
Yes, Father.
320
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:33,680
In the future,
321
00:17:34,270 --> 00:17:37,550
we hope Mr. Xu will uphold justice for us.
322
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:39,310
A mere shop like Clear Mind
323
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,200
is hardly an issue.
324
00:17:48,480 --> 00:17:51,070
Are you really that happy?
325
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,200
Did you drink too much?
326
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,510
Why is there no moon tonight?
327
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:12,550
It's covered by clouds.
328
00:18:20,350 --> 00:18:21,030
What's wrong?
329
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:28,000
Tell me,
330
00:18:33,870 --> 00:18:34,720
do you hate me?
331
00:18:44,310 --> 00:18:45,160
Why are you laughing?
332
00:18:45,790 --> 00:18:47,480
If I say I've never hated you,
333
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:50,920
would you believe me?
334
00:18:55,350 --> 00:18:55,830
I wouldn't.
335
00:18:59,310 --> 00:19:00,240
I don't hate you.
336
00:19:02,590 --> 00:19:03,870
I only hate myself.
337
00:19:06,790 --> 00:19:08,830
If only I hadn't insisted on following you,
338
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,350
they'd all still be alive.
339
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,400
What reason do I have to hate you?
340
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,550
In the end,
341
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:25,400
it's all my fault.
342
00:19:27,030 --> 00:19:28,550
I have been consumed by vengeance.
343
00:19:31,590 --> 00:19:32,350
It's not your fault.
344
00:19:33,590 --> 00:19:34,550
You did nothing wrong.
345
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,960
The mistake lies in our birth.
346
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:39,400
The mistake is in the things we can't change.
347
00:19:42,510 --> 00:19:43,870
That's why I wonder...
348
00:19:47,030 --> 00:19:48,550
If we hadn't gone through this,
349
00:19:49,270 --> 00:19:50,510
would the outcome be different?
350
00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:54,550
Would you and me...
351
00:20:01,310 --> 00:20:02,480
be different as well?
352
00:20:03,310 --> 00:20:04,480
If you could do it all over again,
353
00:20:08,510 --> 00:20:09,680
would you still want to know me?

00:21:43,110 --> 00:21:45,240
Clear Mind is selling toxic glassware!
372
00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,040
Songstress Yuanxiang wore it for barely two days,
373
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,520
and now she's on the brink.
374
00:21:49,830 --> 00:21:52,310
So, who's the heartless one?
375
00:21:52,310 --> 00:21:53,910
Who's playing with people's lives?
376
00:21:53,910 --> 00:21:55,440
Now you can't face the consequences, huh?
377
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,910
You're too scared to come out, huh?
378
00:21:57,310 --> 00:21:59,110
Get out here!
379
00:21:59,110 --> 00:22:00,040
So noisy.
380
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:01,550
It's not your place to speak.
381
00:22:01,550 --> 00:22:03,110
Bring out the one responsible!
382
00:22:03,370 --> 00:22:05,050
- Are you too ashamed - How can you stay so calm?
383
00:22:05,050 --> 00:22:05,930
to show your face, huh?
384
00:22:05,930 --> 00:22:07,630
Shut up already. That's enough.
385
00:22:07,630 --> 00:22:08,480
You're not worthy of speaking to me.
386
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:09,720
Call out the one in charge!
387
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:10,390
Come out!
388
00:22:10,390 --> 00:22:11,760
- I wasn't talking to you. - What's the problem?
389
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,240
Why are you even here, Qin?
390
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:14,550
Why am I here?
391
00:22:14,910 --> 00:22:16,440
Even if Lady Yuanxiang
392
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:17,440
has a health problem,
393
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,150
what does it matter to you?
394
00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:21,830
I'm here to fight injustice!
395
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:23,480
But you,
396
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:25,830
you took my money to smash Clear Mind,
397
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
and now you're working here?
398
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:29,040
Aren't you ashamed?
399
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:30,520
Double-dealing coward.
400
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,910
How dare you stand here?
401
00:22:31,910 --> 00:22:33,760
You're unworthy! Get out of my way!
402
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,070
That's right!
403
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:36,480
I took your money
404
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:37,910
and smashed Clear Mind.
405
00:22:38,350 --> 00:22:39,150
I admit it!
406
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:40,760
I'm a man who takes responsibility
407
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:41,830
for his actions.
408
00:22:41,830 --> 00:22:42,830
I accept my fault,
409
00:22:42,830 --> 00:22:43,800
and I correct my it.
410
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:44,350
What's the problem?
411
00:22:44,830 --> 00:22:46,550
But you, foolish as you are,
412
00:22:46,830 --> 00:22:48,280
I knew you wouldn't let this go.
413
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:49,680
I didn't think you'd actually dare to come here!
414
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:50,110
Why wouldn't I?
415
00:22:50,110 --> 00:22:50,960
Where did you get the nerve?
416
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,280
I'm telling you, I'm doing what's right!
417
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:52,870
Don't...
418
00:22:52,870 --> 00:22:53,390
Gaoshou.
419
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,240
So, Mr. Qin, you're finally admitting
420
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,070
that you once paid people to smash our Clear Mind?
421
00:22:59,870 --> 00:23:01,480
If it weren't for Gaoshou's insight,
422
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,440
Clear Mind would have long fallen
423
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:04,310
to your disgraceful tactics.
424
00:23:05,350 --> 00:23:06,630
What's this new stunt?
425
00:23:06,870 --> 00:23:07,350
I'm leaving.
426
00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:09,280
Trying to slander Clear Mind again?
427
00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:10,870
Slander?
428
00:23:10,870 --> 00:23:12,550
You've always resented Clear Mind.
429
00:23:12,910 --> 00:23:15,390
Who would believe you?
430
00:23:15,390 --> 00:23:16,150
Who would?
431
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:18,440
[Clear Mind]
Competitors are rivals,
432
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:20,040
stirring up trouble every other day.
433
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:20,800
Exactly.
434
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,480
But are you just going to let them
435
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:23,680
smear Clear Mind's name?
436
00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:25,040
Sometimes things have to break to be rebuilt.
437
00:23:26,830 --> 00:23:28,550
Sooner or later, Clear Mind would face this.
438
00:23:29,590 --> 00:23:30,960
The one who should come isn't here yet.
439
00:23:42,310 --> 00:23:43,440
Since you're free,
440
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,200
why not help me settle some accounts?
441
00:23:48,910 --> 00:23:49,520
Fine.
442
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:02,440
On the sixth of March,
443
00:24:03,870 --> 00:24:05,870
old jewels, nineteen taels.
444
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,200
Lady, these jewels are beautiful.
445
00:24:09,350 --> 00:24:10,550
- Yes, indeed. - Trouble's come!
446
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:12,590
Qin Mu brought Yuanxiang
447
00:24:12,590 --> 00:24:14,040
to Clear Mind, causing a scene.
448
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,440
He said Clear Mind's glass jewelry is toxic.
449
00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:18,800
I heard Yuanxiang's face is covered in red rashes,
450
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:19,760
completely disfigured!
451
00:24:20,550 --> 00:24:21,830
Are there any on my face?
452
00:24:22,070 --> 00:24:22,630
No, there aren't.
453
00:24:23,070 --> 00:24:24,390
Don't jump to conclusions.
454
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:25,870
Let's go see for ourselves first.
455
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,870
- Alright, let's go. - Okay.
456
00:24:29,110 --> 00:24:29,960
[Clear Mind]
Don't you believe it?
457
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:31,390
Everyone, take a look!
458
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:33,000
The evidence is right here!
459
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:34,110
Sh's covered in red rashes.
460
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:35,960
- More breaths going out than coming in. - Move aside.
461
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:37,390
- Move aside. - It's all because
462
00:24:37,390 --> 00:24:38,350
- of Clear Mind's toxic glass! - Move aside.
463
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,350
Look, she's barely hanging on!
464
00:24:40,350 --> 00:24:41,830
So pitiful, isn't she?
465
00:24:42,310 --> 00:24:43,680
Yuanxiang is in bad health,
466
00:24:44,110 --> 00:24:45,760
- and still hasn't seen a doctor? - Shout it out!
467
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:47,480
- Something seems off. - Clear Mind sells toxic glassware!
468
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:48,830
Su Muzhe, come out!
469
00:24:48,830 --> 00:24:50,760
Shout it, Clear Mind sells toxic glassware!
470
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,310
Su Muzhe, get out here!
471
00:24:52,310 --> 00:24:53,720
Clear Mind sells toxic glassware!
472
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:55,480
Su Muzhe, come out here!
473
00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:56,390
Not coming out, huh?
474
00:24:56,390 --> 00:24:57,760
Hiding like a coward, huh?
475
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,310
Then don't blame me
476
00:25:00,070 --> 00:25:02,040
if I have to come in and smash up your store!
477
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:02,630
Get out of my way!
478
00:25:02,630 --> 00:25:03,040
What are you doing?
479
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:04,000
- Move aside. - What are you going to do?
480
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,350
- Don't touch me! I don't want to... - You're daring to smash our store?
481
00:25:05,550 --> 00:25:06,630
This is too much!
482
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,720
If Yuanxiang's poisoned, report it to the authorities.
483
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:11,830
Causing a fuss here without any proof,
484
00:25:11,830 --> 00:25:12,910
what's the point?
485
00:25:13,070 --> 00:25:14,110
Don't block my way,
486
00:25:14,110 --> 00:25:15,350
or I'll hit you too!
487
00:25:15,350 --> 00:25:16,310
- I'm warning you... - You dare?
488
00:25:16,310 --> 00:25:17,480
Go ahead, hit us and see!
489
00:25:17,480 --> 00:25:18,630
If you attack innocent citizens,
490
00:25:18,630 --> 00:25:19,630
we'll report it to the authorities right now!
491
00:25:19,910 --> 00:25:21,070
- Exactly! - Go on, hit us and see!
492
00:25:21,070 --> 00:25:23,000
With all these people watching,
493
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,110
hit me first, go ahead!
494
00:25:24,110 --> 00:25:24,780
- Try it! - Hit us!
495
00:25:24,780 --> 00:25:25,480
- Go ahead! - All together now!
496
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:26,910
Do it, hit us!
497
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:27,870
Go on, hit us!
498
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:30,800
Hey, you have no ties to Clear Mind anymore.
499
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,000
You have no shares here.
500
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,350
So why are you meddling in this?
501
00:25:33,350 --> 00:25:34,830
Things need to be made clear.
502
00:25:34,830 --> 00:25:36,590
Ms. Su would never do something like this!
503
00:25:36,590 --> 00:25:38,000
I... I don't want to argue with you all.
504
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,280
Step aside!
505
00:25:39,280 --> 00:25:40,070
What are you doing?
506
00:25:40,070 --> 00:25:40,770
Step back!
507
00:25:41,350 --> 00:25:42,100
Get out of the way!
508
00:25:42,100 --> 00:25:43,240
Move aside!
509
00:25:45,070 --> 00:25:46,040
Someone reported to the authorities,
510
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:48,630
claiming there's
511
00:25:49,150 --> 00:25:50,040
a murder case at Clear Mind.
512
00:25:52,150 --> 00:25:53,200
Did you file the report?
513
00:25:58,630 --> 00:25:59,520
The main party has arrived.
514
00:26:02,630 --> 00:26:04,040
Then we must go meet them.
515
00:26:05,870 --> 00:26:06,480
What about April?
516
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:10,310
April,
517
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,110
old jewels, seven taels and five.
518
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:19,040
That fool!
519
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:20,310
He's no good on his own,
520
00:26:20,310 --> 00:26:22,150
always trying these underhanded tricks.
521
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,680
Could the Zheng family be easy to deal with?
522
00:26:25,110 --> 00:26:26,520
He's obsessed with becoming an guild director,
523
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:27,830
and doesn't even realize he's being played.
524
00:26:28,070 --> 00:26:29,550
I heard Mr. Xu went over too.
525
00:26:29,550 --> 00:26:31,240
With Mr. Xu backing him, it should be fine.
526
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,590
No, I still need to go check.
527
00:26:39,870 --> 00:26:40,310
Oh...
528
00:26:41,390 --> 00:26:43,590
Quick, go notify Mr. Xu immediately.
529
00:26:43,590 --> 00:26:44,630
Or else, it'll be the end of everything.
530
00:26:59,110 --> 00:27:00,830
Greetings, Inspector Zhang.
531
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,870
Baicaojing House has always obeyed the law.
532
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:05,630
You suddenly bring people here,
533
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,200
may I ask for what reason?
534
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:09,800
Let's go!
535
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:15,110
Inspector Zhang has ordered
536
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:16,150
that no one is to leave.
537
00:27:18,070 --> 00:27:20,200
Qin Mu tried to frame Clear Mind with a poison box.
538
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:22,760
Is that what you call obeying the law?
539
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,040
Search carefully!
540
00:27:26,630 --> 00:27:27,960
Don't miss a single spot!
541
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:28,550
Yes, sir!
542
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:46,240
What do you mean, Lady Bai?
543
00:27:46,590 --> 00:27:47,350
Inspector Zhang,
544
00:27:47,910 --> 00:27:49,110
you came to Baicaojing House
545
00:27:49,280 --> 00:27:50,830
to look for some poison box, didn't you?
546
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,240
So why are you
547
00:27:52,350 --> 00:27:54,520
suddenly going through our jewelry?
548
00:27:54,870 --> 00:27:55,390
Open it!
549
00:28:01,390 --> 00:28:03,390
I came here to find the poison box,
550
00:28:05,110 --> 00:28:06,830
but I didn't expect to be so astonished.
551
00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:07,960
Lady Bai,
552
00:28:11,240 --> 00:28:12,760
do you recognize this chest of jewels?
553
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:16,440
These are jewels from Zhenlang Pavilion.
554
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:18,830
So why are they here at Baicaojing House?
555
00:28:20,110 --> 00:28:21,310
Perhaps...
556
00:28:22,830 --> 00:28:24,480
Perhaps there's a traitor within.
557
00:28:25,350 --> 00:28:26,480
Is it really an inside traitor,
558
00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:28,520
or is there another reason?
559
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:31,680
Come with me, and we'll find out soon enough.
560
00:28:35,110 --> 00:28:36,550
Mr. Xu, look.
561
00:28:36,550 --> 00:28:38,110
Yuanxiang's life is in grave danger.
562
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,280
You must stand up for us, Mr. Xu!
563
00:28:40,830 --> 00:28:42,590
What exactly is going on here?
564
00:28:43,350 --> 00:28:44,910
They're selling toxic glassware at Clear Mind.
565
00:28:45,390 --> 00:28:46,910
She fell ill two days after wearing it.
566
00:28:46,910 --> 00:28:47,720
Please, see for yourself.
567
00:28:48,110 --> 00:28:49,550
You must bring justice to us.
568
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,870
Clear Mind is suspected of selling toxic glassware,
569
00:29:00,390 --> 00:29:02,070
endangering the citizens of Yangzhou.
570
00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:05,760
I hereby order the store to be sealed and the toxic glassware seized.
571
00:29:06,150 --> 00:29:08,680
Anyone resisting will be dealt with by the law.
572
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:10,200
Yes, arrest them according to the law!
573
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:10,680
Yes, sir!
574
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:11,870
Wait!
575
00:29:11,870 --> 00:29:12,310
Oh...
576
00:29:13,350 --> 00:29:14,590
What's going on?
577
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,630
What's happening?
578
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:20,800
Mr. Xu!
579
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:23,630
Greetings.
580
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,000
Ms. Su, long time no see.
581
00:29:28,630 --> 00:29:29,960
You seem to be in good spirits lately.
582
00:29:30,150 --> 00:29:33,000
It appears that tonics do benefit the health.
583
00:29:34,350 --> 00:29:35,390
After today,
584
00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:37,550
I may feel even better.
585
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,280
That remains to be seen.
586
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:42,520
[Clear Mind]
Mr. Xu, Lady Yuanxiang's condition is critical.
587
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:44,480
If it turns out to be a fault of Clear Mind,
588
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:45,590
I will take full responsibility.
589
00:29:45,590 --> 00:29:46,200
However,
590
00:29:47,630 --> 00:29:49,040
let's get her to the clinic first.
591
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,110
What do you say?
592
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,310
Ms. Su, you have a compassionate heart.
593
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,110
Let's proceed as you suggest.
594
00:29:54,910 --> 00:29:56,000
I'll trouble you ladies with the task.
595
00:29:56,590 --> 00:29:57,310
Rest assured.
596
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:00,200
We've clarified the matter!
597
00:30:00,200 --> 00:30:00,630
Move aside!
598
00:30:00,630 --> 00:30:01,440
No one is allowed to leave!
599
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:01,760
No!
600
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,630
Once Lady Yuanxiang is taken to the clinic,
601
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,550
we'll soon find out
602
00:30:07,150 --> 00:30:10,000
the source of this poison.
603
00:30:10,350 --> 00:30:12,550
Mr. Xu, Clear Mind is so malicious,
604
00:30:12,550 --> 00:30:13,390
treating lives as nothing.
605
00:30:13,390 --> 00:30:14,680
You must stand up for us!
606
00:30:14,830 --> 00:30:16,520
Clear Mind has sold
607
00:30:16,520 --> 00:30:18,110
hundreds of glass hairpins,
608
00:30:18,110 --> 00:30:19,680
and I've carefully examined each one.
609
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:20,910
I've never heard of anyone being poisoned.
610
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:23,200
You claim Yuanxiang was poisoned
611
00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,000
by a glass hairpin from Clear Mind.
612
00:30:25,390 --> 00:30:28,000
Then where is this toxic glassware now?
613
00:30:28,910 --> 00:30:29,440
Show it!
614
00:30:39,590 --> 00:30:41,240
This is indeed from Clear Mind,
615
00:30:41,590 --> 00:30:42,590
it has our mark on the base.
616
00:30:43,110 --> 00:30:44,200
So, it's all come to light, hasn't it?
617
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:46,000
Mr. Xu, the evidence is clear.
618
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:47,760
Since that's the case,
619
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:51,960
I'll trouble Ms. Su and everyone from Clear Mind
620
00:30:52,350 --> 00:30:54,350
to come to my office for questioning.
621
00:30:55,150 --> 00:30:55,960
Mr. Xu,
622
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:58,150
even in the court of law,
623
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,240
I should be allowed to defend myself, shouldn't I?
624
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,070
At this point,
625
00:31:02,350 --> 00:31:05,040
what is there left to argue, Ms. Su?
626
00:31:05,830 --> 00:31:07,350
The show's just begun.
627
00:31:07,370 --> 00:31:09,370
Okay.
628
00:31:22,390 --> 00:31:23,040
Mr. Qin...
629
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:26,720
What is that?
630
00:31:27,830 --> 00:31:29,760
Poison pollen!
631
00:31:30,070 --> 00:31:30,720
Help!
632
00:31:30,820 --> 00:31:32,040
- Mr. Xu. - What's wrong with you?
633
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:33,000
Look,
634
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:34,910
Poison pollen! Bring water, quickly!
635
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:36,110
How did you know
636
00:31:36,110 --> 00:31:37,720
there was poison pollen inside this box?
637
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:40,280
Can't I just take a guess?
638
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,910
Mr. Xu, instead of hastily searching our shop,
639
00:31:43,910 --> 00:31:45,480
why not ask Mr. Qin
640
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:46,870
how he so quickly identified
641
00:31:46,870 --> 00:31:48,070
this as poison pollen?
642
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,440
First, he said our glass is toxic.
643
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,760
Now, he says the powder in this box is poisonous.
644
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:55,110
Mr. Qin,
645
00:31:55,830 --> 00:31:57,350
what's really going on here?
646
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:09,200
Mr. Xu,
647
00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:11,200
it seems
648
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,000
this was all a misunderstanding.
649
00:32:14,630 --> 00:32:16,680
You jumped to conclusions,
650
00:32:16,830 --> 00:32:19,240
claiming there's a murder case tied to Clear Mind.
651
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,680
Is that something to joke about?
652
00:32:23,110 --> 00:32:25,870
Now, shouldn't you apologize to Ms. Su?
653
00:32:28,620 --> 00:32:29,040
Well...
654
00:32:30,610 --> 00:32:32,080
- This is slander! - Indeed!
655
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,350
Ms. Su, this was a misunderstanding.
656
00:32:40,150 --> 00:32:40,800
Please be forgiving.
657
00:32:41,310 --> 00:32:42,150
Mr. Xu,
658
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:45,520
it's no easy task for us to run a business.
659
00:32:47,110 --> 00:32:47,960
Especially,
660
00:32:48,910 --> 00:32:51,240
since Lady Yuanxiang's life is at stake.
661
00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:52,760
Calling this a "misunderstanding"
662
00:32:53,800 --> 00:32:55,000
isn't too light?
663
00:32:55,830 --> 00:32:56,630
Moreover,
664
00:32:57,150 --> 00:32:58,350
the citizens of this city
665
00:32:58,590 --> 00:33:00,390
now believe Clear Mind sells toxic glassware.
666
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,240
How am I supposed to do business from now on?
667
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:03,910
If you ask me,
668
00:33:04,630 --> 00:33:05,390
I won't stand for it.
669
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:07,040
Let's settle today's matter
670
00:33:08,040 --> 00:33:09,440
right here and now.
671
00:33:09,830 --> 00:33:10,240
Yes!
672
00:33:10,830 --> 00:33:12,240
Recently, Clear Mind ordered
673
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,240
five hundred decorative boxes.
674
00:33:13,550 --> 00:33:14,720
It turns out these boxes
675
00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:16,280
were laced with oleander pollen.
676
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:18,830
Ms. Su has that batch sealed up long ago,
677
00:33:18,830 --> 00:33:19,590
not a single one leaking out.
678
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,630
What's in these boxes now
679
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,310
is merely our specially crafted fragrance powder,
680
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:25,960
completely harmless.
681
00:33:26,630 --> 00:33:28,760
And the box merchant confessed
682
00:33:29,150 --> 00:33:32,070
it was Qin Mu who paid people to do it.
683
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,200
You're telling lies!
684
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:34,870
Where's the proof?
685
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:35,910
We have it!
686
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:37,590
Please have a look.
687
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:38,630
Mr. Xu.
688
00:33:48,830 --> 00:33:49,760
Mr. Xu.
689
00:33:51,870 --> 00:33:53,350
It appears
690
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,240
there's quite a story between Mr. Qin
691
00:33:58,240 --> 00:33:59,200
and this box merchant.
692
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,630
Guards, take Mr. Qin into custody!
693
00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:04,040
Mr. Xu, I...
694
00:34:04,040 --> 00:34:04,680
Take him away!
695
00:34:05,630 --> 00:34:06,040
Move!
696
00:34:10,430 --> 00:34:14,160
Ms. Su, today's events were purely a misunderstanding.
697
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:15,080
Sorry for the disturbance.
698
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,470
I have other pressing matters, so I'll take my leave.
699
00:34:18,200 --> 00:34:20,870
Mr. Xu, it's rare for you to visit Clear Mind,
700
00:34:21,240 --> 00:34:23,080
and I also have important matters to discuss with you.
701
00:34:25,950 --> 00:34:29,640
Ms. Su, feel free to speak plainly.
702
00:34:35,830 --> 00:34:37,350
This fool Qin Mu
703
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,430
is Bai Niao's younger brother.
704
00:34:40,510 --> 00:34:42,560
Given the relationship between Bai Niao and you,
705
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:48,390
protecting her foolish brother
706
00:34:49,430 --> 00:34:50,510
must have been taxing.
707
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:54,600
My connection with Lady Bai is merely a passing affair.
708
00:34:55,240 --> 00:34:58,280
If you have nothing further to say,
709
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,120
then I shall take my leave.
710
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:03,240
Whatever Baicaojing House can do for you,
711
00:35:04,910 --> 00:35:06,870
Clear Mind can assist with as well.
712
00:35:09,510 --> 00:35:11,160
It seems you start understanding
713
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:13,200
the challenges of doing business in Yangzhou.
714
00:35:14,030 --> 00:35:15,560
Looking for new support?
715
00:35:16,470 --> 00:35:17,910
Conducting business in Yangzhou
716
00:35:19,390 --> 00:35:20,720
naturally requires some protection.
717
00:35:22,510 --> 00:35:24,470
Providing protection isn't an issue.
718
00:35:24,950 --> 00:35:26,080
I only care
719
00:35:26,910 --> 00:35:29,200
about your token of loyalty.
720
00:35:36,350 --> 00:35:36,910
Yingtao,
721
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:38,910
prepare the tea.
722
00:35:40,430 --> 00:35:41,350
Xu Nanying!
723
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,280
Seems we won't need to talk at all.
724
00:35:54,460 --> 00:35:56,420
[Clear Mind]
725
00:35:56,430 --> 00:35:58,560
When you took office, you came with little attention.
726
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,870
In less than half a year,
727
00:36:01,470 --> 00:36:04,870
how did you accumulate a fortune at Baicaojing House?
728
00:36:05,310 --> 00:36:06,800
You've been investigating me secretly?
729
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:09,280
I have the authority to inspect anyone.
730
00:36:09,910 --> 00:36:10,470
Take him away!
731
00:36:10,800 --> 00:36:11,600
No need.
732
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,310
You've schemed for so long.
733
00:36:19,870 --> 00:36:20,390
Jinran,
734
00:36:21,510 --> 00:36:23,080
wherever you're taking me,
735
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:27,640
I will follow you.
736
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:46,200
Duanwu.
737
00:36:46,200 --> 00:36:46,830
That's wonderful!
738
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:50,470
Seventeen thousand...
739
00:36:52,430 --> 00:36:53,200
It's like this.
740
00:36:57,310 --> 00:36:57,830
Ladies.
741
00:37:00,310 --> 00:37:01,030
Ms. Su!
742
00:37:02,910 --> 00:37:03,470
Ms. Su,
743
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:05,510
the ladies have been waiting outside for a while,
744
00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:06,760
so I invited them in.
745
00:37:12,240 --> 00:37:13,720
That scoundrel Qin Mu
746
00:37:13,720 --> 00:37:15,390
tricked Yuanxiang into thinking he'd marry her,
747
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:16,830
just to use her to frame you.
748
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,240
Today, it nearly cost you everything.
749
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:21,800
Thankfully, you held no grudges,
750
00:37:22,080 --> 00:37:23,470
sent Yuanxiang for treatment in time,
751
00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:25,030
and even covered her medical fees.
752
00:37:25,240 --> 00:37:27,510
Yes, she's lucky to be alive.
753
00:37:27,870 --> 00:37:29,510
She's filled with regret now,
754
00:37:29,910 --> 00:37:31,830
and sent us to thank you personally.
755
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:34,640
We all live in this world
756
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:37,390
with no parents to pamper us,
757
00:37:37,870 --> 00:37:39,240
no brothers to protect us,
758
00:37:40,160 --> 00:37:41,310
like floating duckweed.
759
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:46,080
But when duckweed gathers together,
760
00:37:46,390 --> 00:37:47,430
supporting each other,
761
00:37:48,950 --> 00:37:50,430
it won't drift aimlessly.
762
00:37:50,910 --> 00:37:52,030
Regarding the toxic glassware affair,
763
00:37:52,390 --> 00:37:55,240
I never imagined you all would come to my aid.
764
00:37:56,870 --> 00:37:57,560
Thank you.
765
00:37:59,720 --> 00:38:00,640
Ms. Su,
766
00:38:01,430 --> 00:38:04,910
we were timid and fool before
767
00:38:05,390 --> 00:38:06,800
and backed out of our shares.
768
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,080
Later, when you were framed,
769
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,200
we stayed on the sidelines,
770
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:12,830
watching indifferently.
771
00:38:13,470 --> 00:38:15,120
But after what happened with Yuanxiang,
772
00:38:15,720 --> 00:38:18,910
we finally understand the good and evil in people's hearts.
773
00:38:19,470 --> 00:38:20,470
In short,
774
00:38:21,240 --> 00:38:24,390
we now see clearly that you are someone
775
00:38:24,390 --> 00:38:25,910
who's kindhearted, loyal, and righteous.
776
00:38:26,510 --> 00:38:29,280
Today, we came not just to thank you,
777
00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:32,470
but to apologize too.
778
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:45,720
Then...
779
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,390
we'll take our leave.
780
00:38:51,310 --> 00:38:51,910
Wait.
781
00:38:57,030 --> 00:38:58,390
In truth, we're all the same,
782
00:38:58,560 --> 00:39:00,030
without any support in this world.
783
00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:01,990
But I've been thinking,
784
00:39:03,870 --> 00:39:05,280
if women could rely
785
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:06,430
on one another,
786
00:39:09,350 --> 00:39:10,870
then perhaps there wouldn't be another Yuanxiang.
787
00:39:12,510 --> 00:39:13,510
There's something
788
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,830
I need the opinion of you on.
789
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,910
I want to establish the Duckweed Society within Clear Mind.
790
00:39:22,910 --> 00:39:25,870
From now on, we'll set aside ten percent of our profits
791
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:26,910
and add
792
00:39:28,240 --> 00:39:29,600
Lady Huan's former shares to it,
793
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:32,600
to help women in Yangzhou
794
00:39:33,470 --> 00:39:34,390
who, like us,
795
00:39:35,390 --> 00:39:36,720
have no one to rely on.
796
00:39:39,830 --> 00:39:40,510
How about it?
797
00:39:42,950 --> 00:39:44,080
With the Duckweed Society,
798
00:39:44,240 --> 00:39:46,510
our hearts and efforts
799
00:39:47,560 --> 00:39:48,640
will be united.
800
00:39:49,680 --> 00:39:52,990
We'll finally have a place to call home.
801
00:39:53,310 --> 00:39:53,800
So,
802
00:39:56,240 --> 00:39:57,560
are you interested in rejoining as shareholders?
803
00:40:01,990 --> 00:40:02,760
Yes.
804
00:40:04,510 --> 00:40:06,510
This time, no more backing out!
805
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:07,680
Absolutely not.
806
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:10,030
Even if we lose money in the future,
807
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:11,470
we believe
808
00:40:11,470 --> 00:40:12,470
with Ms. Su here,
809
00:40:12,870 --> 00:40:14,800
and all of us working together,
810
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:16,560
there's no obstacle we can't overcome.
811
00:40:18,430 --> 00:40:19,950
Alright, take a seat, everyone.
812
00:40:20,310 --> 00:40:21,200
Enjoy some tea.
813
00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:22,720
Yingtao, get everything ready.
814
00:40:22,910 --> 00:40:23,680
- Come on, Ladies. - Let's go.
815
00:40:24,950 --> 00:40:26,160
Alright, I'll take a seat then.
816
00:40:28,300 --> 00:40:32,080
[Grand Governor's Office]
817
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:32,640
Qin Mu,
818
00:40:33,950 --> 00:40:35,200
you harmed the people,
819
00:40:36,030 --> 00:40:38,120
then framed Clear Mind.
820
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:39,950
Do you have anything to say?
821
00:40:40,510 --> 00:40:41,910
I'm innocent, Inspector Zhang!
822
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,120
I don't know anything.
823
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:45,200
She made me do it!
824
00:40:45,720 --> 00:40:47,310
She's envious of Clear Mind's business,
825
00:40:47,510 --> 00:40:49,120
so she wants to take it over herself!
826
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:51,990
Inspector Zhang, I was orphaned at a young age.
827
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,800
I fought my way up from nothing to get here.
828
00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:57,280
I would never do something so despicable.
829
00:40:58,030 --> 00:40:59,080
Please, see the truth!
830
00:41:01,830 --> 00:41:02,430
Bai Niao,
831
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,870
is what Qin Mu said true?
832
00:41:11,430 --> 00:41:12,560
Reporting to Inspector Zhang,
833
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,910
what Qin Mu said is true.
834
00:41:17,910 --> 00:41:19,720
The poisoning was my doing alone,
835
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,280
and has nothing to do with anyone else.
836
00:41:22,640 --> 00:41:24,390
Exactly, it has nothing to do with me!
837
00:41:24,390 --> 00:41:25,870
She did it all on her own!
838
00:41:41,680 --> 00:41:42,950
Today, we're sounding the drum
839
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,200
to seek justice for Yuanxiang!
840
00:41:45,430 --> 00:41:47,680
[Grand Governor's Office]
Qin Mu, in an effort to frame Clear Mind,
841
00:41:47,830 --> 00:41:50,200
poisoned and harmed Yuanxiang!
842
00:41:51,300 --> 00:41:52,660
What a villain!
843
00:41:55,430 --> 00:41:56,470
Who is beating the drum here?
844
00:41:59,560 --> 00:42:00,800
We are the songstresses of Yangzhou.
845
00:42:01,310 --> 00:42:03,030
Today, we've come with a petition,
846
00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:06,120
requesting that Inspector Zhang punish the evildoer severely,
847
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:07,910
and restore justice for Yuanxiang!
848
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,240
Restore justice for Yuanxiang!
849
00:42:23,470 --> 00:42:26,990
I, Yuanxiang, accuse Qin Mu of poisoning me,
850
00:42:26,990 --> 00:42:29,240
and deliberately delaying
851
00:42:29,240 --> 00:42:30,640
when my life was at risk,
852
00:42:30,910 --> 00:42:32,430
solely to ruin Clear Mind's reputation.
853
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,280
Aren't you perfectly fine now?
854
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:36,120
I see,
855
00:42:36,430 --> 00:42:38,950
you pretended to be poisoned to slander Clear Mind!
856
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,680
You heartless scoundrel!
857
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:44,760
I was on the brink of death when they sent me for treatment!
858
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:46,830
The doctor at the clinic can testify to that!
859
00:42:48,080 --> 00:42:49,720
You waited and waited,
860
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:52,120
and when you saw I didn't get poisoned from the glassware,
861
00:42:52,430 --> 00:42:54,870
you personally fed me poisoned pastries,
862
00:42:54,870 --> 00:42:56,080
making me suffer from the poisoning!
863
00:42:57,030 --> 00:42:57,720
Qin Mu,
864
00:42:58,800 --> 00:42:59,680
you said...
865
00:43:00,350 --> 00:43:01,950
you said you'd marry me,
866
00:43:03,470 --> 00:43:05,240
yet you intended all along to harm me.
867
00:43:05,240 --> 00:43:05,600
I...
868
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:07,310
Lies, all lies!
869
00:43:07,470 --> 00:43:08,560
What status do you think you have?
870
00:43:08,560 --> 00:43:09,760
You're nothing but a lowly songstress!
871
00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,160
What give you the right to marry me? Pah!
872
00:43:11,160 --> 00:43:12,280
Who are you calling lowly?
873
00:43:12,280 --> 00:43:13,080
It's all of you!
874
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:14,640
You filthy songstresses!
875
00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:15,240
Silence!
876
00:43:15,430 --> 00:43:16,280
All of you...
877
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:17,430
You're the lowly one!
878
00:43:17,560 --> 00:43:18,350
Lady Bai,
879
00:43:18,870 --> 00:43:20,240
he's insulting us like this,
880
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:21,950
why do you still cover for him?
881
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:24,680
Qin Mu,
882
00:43:25,350 --> 00:43:27,720
you keep saying it wasn't you,
883
00:43:27,720 --> 00:43:29,200
it was all Bai Niao's doing.
884
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:30,910
I have a confession here.

showing no regard for human life!
888

00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:43,350
