Song title

♫ Flowers falling by the river again Turning the clear waves red ♫

♫ Sparrows singing in celebration ♫

♫ Calm years pass by the silent bustling city Sitting at home ♫

♫ No one knows love's outline like I do ♫

♫ If one day the river breeze blows again ♫

♫ I won't be a mere reflection in the mirror ♫

♫ Dreams can shatter; Memories remain ♫

♫ Rich fragrance aids; Light ink writes ♫

♫ In the deep red windows lies mundane dust ♫

[Episode 11]

You wanted to inscribe for the shop.

Have you decided what to write?

Not yet.

Do you have any suggestions for me?

You can think later.

I feel that in these days of rest at home, you've changed a lot.

Changed?

Not only do you help with chores and ease my worries, but you're more thoughtful.

Miantang, you're really here.

Dear.

I finally found you.

Sir, are you mistaken?

- I'm not your wife. - I'm not mistaken.

It's me. Miantang, I'm your husband.

I'm Cui Jiu.

Who is this fool? Spouting nonsense.

Honey, did you offend someone outside, causing them to ruin my reputation?

No. He's not your husband. Your husband is here.

I am your husband. impostor

How can you prove you're not an impostor?

I...

Have you forgotten? Three years ago, on June 7th,

you traveled from Beizhou to the capital, encountered bandits, and disappeared.

Right?

- Bandits... - In these three years, I sent people to search for you everywhere.

Finally, Heaven didn't disappoint me. I heard the news about you in Lingquan Town.

So I rushed over from the capital.

If I weren't the real Cui Jiu, who else would know this?

This impostor. Why don't you say anything?

Are you feeling guilty?

Honey, if you don't speak, I might believe it.

He came all the way from the capital.

What you said is what I wanted to ask.

You said you came specially from the capital?

- Exactly. - Then I need to ask.

The fabric of your clothes is from Jianlin, and you speak with a Jianlin accent.

The Cui family has been genuine capital folks for three generations.

- I... - Did you make a detour to come here?

My wet nurse is from Jianlin.

She made me these clothes, and taught me about the accent.

What's the problem?

Words full of deceit.

You're taking advantage of my wife's memory loss, and causing confusion here.

I advise you to give up on this matter.

I went to my wife's house several times to propose,

so my father-in-law finally agreed.

You're the one with deceitful words.

I can also claim that I went to Beizhou myself, and personally asked her father for marriage.

You're eloquent, but you don't know my father has long passed away.

My husband just tested you, and your lies are exposed.

Moru, send this fraud to the authorities.

- Yes. - No, no. Wait.

You can deny me, but you cannot deny this.

This is our marriage certificate in black and white.

With the official seal. [Beizhou]

Now I want to see who dares to say I'm not Cui Jiu.

This is impossible.

Liu Miantang brought this with her to Mount Yang.

It has now come in handy.

She's always been scheming, pretending to lose her memory.

I'll send a man to test her.

Even if she really forgets everything,

>I'll make sure to create chaos for her, and disturb her life.

You claim to be the real Cui Jiu?

Do you have it?

If you can produce it today, that's fine.

If you can't, I'll accuse you of stealing my wife.

Compared to a piece of paper, I trust my eyes more.

I only recognize you as my husband.

His identity in the capital is fake.

A document cannot be true.

Let's go to the authorities and expose his lies.

True gold fears no fire.

We are a real couple. What's there to fear? - The authorities, huh?

Let's go. I'll let the authorities judge.

- Move. - Honey, let's go.

Take a look.

Under the bright sun, he stole my wife from me.

You...

You sneaked up on me.

Where are they?

You prepared such a big show.

Why not watch it all before leaving?

Who are you?

I've seen you before.

Miantang, why are you here?

If I weren't here, how would I know who's behind this?

What are you talking about, Miantang?

I just happened to pass by.

Just happened to have tea at that stall, and just happened to follow along.

So many coincidences.

What's your background?

Why incite that fake Cui Jiu to ruin my reputation?

Incite?

The man just now was shouting and claiming to be your husband.

It's clearly a personal grudge.

What does it have to do with me?

The villagers watching near my shop couldn't figure out anything.

They whispered and asked about the reason.

You were just at that tea stall.

How would you know what he said?

Are you all fools?

You'll have to blame yourselves for walking right into it.

Move.

Want to run away?

Miss!

Don't move. Or I'll step on her.

Still daring to fight me?

Even though I'm weak, it's more than enough to hit you.

Dear, you shouldn't fight. How can you do this?

Who are you?

Thanks to you all heroes for your help.

Thank you, thank you.

Heroes, thank you.

Here's some reward from me and my husband.

Please take it to buy drinks.

Thank you, Madam.

I want to see what she's really up to.

Dear.

They have many people. They must be dangerous.

Let's hand them over to the authorities.

Please, heroes, take these people to the authorities.

Thank you, thank you.

The authorities will clear this up.

Now you feel the pain?

Is it better?

Still hurting.

What a useless miracle physician.

He took so much effort to find the medicine, and it's useless.

It was just applied.

Even Hua Tuo's medicine wouldn't work this fast.

Bone injuries need time to heal.

You know it needs time. But you were so forceful earlier.

I didn't know why. When I saw that woman earlier,

I felt an uncontrollable rage, wanting to tear her apart.

I completely forgot about the injury on my hand.

Do you know her?

I've only seen her once at the banquet with the neighbors.

That day, I just said I have a poor memory, and she took it to heart,

sending someone to scheme against me.

I really don't know what she's up to.

That rascal claimed to be Cui Jiu, saying he's your husband.

Forget about that dirty business.

That man's face is swollen with a lewd gaze.

He looks deceitful.

Marrying him would be worse than being kidnapped by bandits.

So according to you, if he were good-looking, you'd just accept him?

What are you saying? I'm already married to you.

A gentleman like you, cultured and talented, is exactly what I prefer.

Speaking of which, what was Yun'er thinking?

How could someone mistake their husband?

I lost my memory, but I'm not a fool.

Can't I tell if my spouse is sincere, or has ulterior motives?

Besides, with my intelligence,

how deep a scheme and how superb a skill would it take to impersonate

my husband so convincingly?

Honey, what are you thinking?

Nothing.

I'm going to see what food Nanny Li has prepared.

[He Mansion]

She's been ill for long. Why isn't it getting better?

How humiliating.

If it were me, I wouldn't dare to go out.

She has high aspirations.

Who would dare marry her now?

Unless she finds another lord.

Isn't that right?

Don't listen to their nonsense.

Look here.

Miss. Physician Zhao said you can't go out these days,

or you might die.

What's the point of living like this?

My reputation can't be restored.

Being derided and mocked every day.

It's better to die, and be done with it.

Miss.

Look at our porcelain.

- Is it to your liking? - Little trinkets.

Miss, take a look at our fans and mirrors.

Strange.Why do I feel nothing?

Miss, come home with me.

Go fetch Physician Zhao.

- Mr. Zhao. - Zhao.

Miss He.

- Move. - What are you doing?

- Be quiet. - Let me go!

Move.

Miss. What is this about?

What is this about?

A swindler pretending to be a physician.

No, Miss.

I made a mistake. Let's talk this out.

Mrs. Cui says Mr. Cui has been asking you to treat her, spending a lot of money.

It's all a misunderstanding.

Fine. Tie up this swindler and take him to the Cui Mansion.

- Yes. - Yes.

How much money did you scam? Confess honestly.

Miss, please let me explain. - Shut up.

Hupo.

No, no. At that time,

what I did...was because of the situation...

I...

I know you're anxious, but please don't rush.

You need to listen to me.

At that time...

Please let me explain.

Miss He. I'm not...

Please let me explain.

- What happened? - Madam.

Bicao, what's the panic about?

Miss He brought people and came aggressively, saying she needed to talk with you.

Miss He.

What's going on?

Cui Jiu.

- Kneel. - Miss He.

Physician Zhao.

What's going on? What happened?

Ask him.

Cui Jiu!

Cui Jiu!

Swindler?

It's a shame Mr. Cui regarded him as a friend.

From now on, be more discerning. Don't be deceived by him again.

Is there a misunderstanding here?

- I'll ask my husband to confront him. - Go.

Hurry, hurry.

Miss He. Please release me.

I won't deceive you anymore.

Honey, what are you doing here? Why aren't you going out?

I'm your husband.

It's inappropriate for me to see her.

What are you saying? Miss He has brought Physician Zhao, claiming he's a quack.

You should take a look. - She's causing a scene. I can't do anything.

I don't know if Zhao Quan is a quack.

I don't know medicine. It's hard for me to decide.

You should at least go out and see.

You can just question him in front of Miss He.

I...

I know you're a person of dignity and dislike such noisy situations,

but at least go out and see. Isn't he your friend?

He's not my friend.

No.

I don't have friends like him.

When it comes to treatment, I've already told him to practice within his limits.

He can't treat women's illnesses.

Well. What if he kills someone?

How will this end now?

Let He Zhen... report to the authorities.

Report?

[Cui Mansion]

- Cui Jiu! - Go.

Quickly save me.

Hurry, go.

- Miss He, I'm not... - Be quiet.

To the ya men.

No. I won't go.

I won't go.

Cui Jiu! Cui Jiu!

Miss. I did deceive you before. I'm sorry.

Please give me another chance to give you a new prescription.

If you still think I'm a fraud, you can take me to the ya men.

Okay?

Do you still dare to fool me?

I didn't deceive you.

Your illness is rooted in your heart.

It's not because you weren't made a concubine of the Lord Huaiyang.

You just want to make a name for yourself,

and prove yourself in front of your family.

Keep talking.

I heard you've been managing the porcelain business with your father,

so you must be quite talented, and competitive.

But because you are a woman,

even if you stand out while doing business,

you're still inferior to your brothers.

That day I went to your house, even an outsider like me could see.

Shut up.

Glib words.

They're not glib words.

The prescription I gave you was for calming the heart.

I didn't want you to go out

because I feared you might encounter Lord Huaiyang, or hear news about him,

or be pointed at by others, causing you distress.

Really.

You are in excellent health.

No need to check.

I know.

I'm asking you to leave.

Release me first.

Quickly, get away from him.

I don't know who he is.

How much is this?

Mind your own business.

How dare you tie me up? Do you know who I am?

Our Lord invited you to ask you a few questions.

The Lord?

Sun Yun'er. Who is Mount Yang's Lu Wen to you?

Mr. Lu Wen is a hero of this era, a remarkable man.

I asked how he is related to you.

My Lord, though I was once in Mount Yang, Mount Yang has submitted to the court.

Mr. Lu Wen and I are now both court officials.

Can court officials disturb the commoners?

This is my personal grudge, a small matter with my enemy.

I did not wish to trouble you.

What personal grudge do you have with Liu?

Do you know Liu Miantang?

Tell me.

Go.

I'm here to audit accounts.

When Liu Miantang left Mount Yang, she took a large sum of money.

Since Mount Yang has submitted,

she risked provoking the authorities for this money.

It must be a substantial asset.

Mount Yang's submission was not for money

but for something more important than gold and silver.

I also tried to subdue you all.

Lu Wen refused, resulting in his defeat.

It now seems he wasn't hiding due to the defeat

but brewing something.

Eliminate the obstacles. Discard the useless.

He certainly wouldn't submit to Zhenzhou.

He had long made deals with the Chief Commander of Qingzhou

or perhaps, he had another strong ally.

Sun Yun'er, who is behind him?

No one. No one.

What exactly does he want to do?

Go.

My Lord, please wait.

I am Gongsun Ye.

Greetings, My Lord.

Prince Sui is passing by Zhenzhou, and sent me to meet you.

Sir, save me.

Prince Sui asked me to inform you that Mount Yang's submission is a national matter.

Sun Yun'er, as a loyalist to the submission, is a key national official.

If she's done anything wrong and offended you,

please forgive her and allow me to take her back.

Open the curtain.

Her involvement is a grave crime affecting the safety of Zhenzhou's people.

As the Lord, I am merely inquiring briefly.

Afterward, I will return her safe and sound.

You may not have heard clearly.

Now, Prince Sui has taken over Mount Yang's affairs.

Sun Yun'er was appointed by Prince Sui to handle negotiations with Mount Yang.

As a meritorious figure, if you regard her as a bandit,

then Prince Sui and even the royal family would be bandits too.

You...

Please, My Lord, for the sake of the court, be lenient.

Return.

Farewell, My Lord.

Follow me to see the Prince.

Liu Pei, Prince Sui, is the younger brother of the late emperor,

and is favored by Empress Dowager Wu.

No one can do anything about him.

Besides, you're investigating Mount Yang.

The ally behind came uninvited.

No. They acted as the host.

Sun Yun'er means nothing.

But Prince Sui made a scene and brought her back.

Not only to look after a subordinate.

It's to scare me off.

She's a bandit.

Even if supported by the Prince, what can she do?

Thinking too much.

Prince Sui has taken over Mount Yang.

This must be related to Sun Yun'er's demand for money from Liu Miantang.

It's likely that they can't report the money to the court.

I have a premonition that Prince Sui will stir up a storm in the court,

and we will be implicated, and lose control.

And Liu Miantang.

If she is related to this money,

her situationwill only become more dangerous.

Lu Wen is strange.

He allowed his wife to manage the money.

But now, Liu Miantang surely can't remember where the money is.

Is there a problem?

Yes.

Cui Xingzhou. You've changed.

In these years, with the young Emperor ascending the throne,

you've spent your days drinking and playing Go with me, seeing events unfold.

When did you start saying things like you have no control over your actions?

And when did you start to worry about being unable to protect someone?

This time... - You're concerned about someone.

You've had a weakness.

The crab apple flowers bloom beautifully,

tall and graceful, with heavenly fragrance.

Pick flowers while you can.

What a pity.

A lover brings a bottle,

but the bottle contains the main flower.

Enough of your rambling.

I want to remind you not to forget tomorrow.

Rest assured. I have a plan.

Thank you for rescuing me.

Yun'er. Do you realize your mistake?

It was my impulsive action that led to this dangerous situation,

causing worry for you.

Utterly foolish.

I've been in hiding for many years,

acting meek and subservient to avoid attention,

Today, you acted recklessly, blinded by personal grudges.

Are you trying to ruin my major plans?

You were to test others but got exposed.

If it weren't for your hard work and achievements,

you'd die here in Zhenzhou.

I've known my mistake.

Don't you understand?

Why would a lord care about your personal grudge with Liu Miantang?

Could it be...?

Cui Jiu... is Cui Xingzhou.

[Notice]

Impersonating someone's husband to cheat money.

Unheard of.

How can there be such jerks impersonating husbands to extort money on the streets?

- It's utterly scandalous. - Such people who harm others should be arrested and interrogated.

- Truly depraved, right? - Yes.

Madam.

The wrongdoers have been detained by the authorities.

After seeing the notice, why are you still frowning?

In my view, Sun Yun'er's manner and appearance don't seem like those of a lowly person.

Moreover, I always feel there is some connection between us.

How could that be?

How could you have any connection with such petty rats?

Why did she address me as Miantang so intimately?

Well.

Perhaps she was trying to get close to you.

And her gaze at me was filled with resentment.

She must be jealous of your beauty.

But when I looked at her, I also felt inexplicable anger.

Because...

Because...

Nanny Li. You look guilty. Are you hiding something from me?

No. No, not at all.

Before I lost my memory, I did know her, right?

No. No.

What could make two women so antagonistic?

Could it be she's the mistress of my husband?

She... She...

She is your adulterer's mistress.

What a sin.

[Mansion of Lord Huaiyang]

Madam. Have some tea.

As for the adulterer, the master has put it behind.

Madam, no need not worry further.

No wonder Sun Yun'er came to bother me.

It's all due to the entanglement.

But I see Ziyu is also not a good person, fickle and unreliable,

much worse than my husband.

Indeed.

Nanny Li, have you seen our marriage certificate?

Well.

Only the master and you know where the marriage certificate is stored.

I never touch it.

I searched every room, only finding property deeds and drafts,

not the marriage certificate.

Could it be someone else took it?

Madam, I confess my mistake.

Confess?

When we moved from the capital, I was busy dismissing servants and selling property.

All the household affairs were managed by me alone.

So I was overwhelmed

and lost the marriage certificate.

I lost it. - Lost it?

It's my fault for being careless so as to lose such an important item.

I cannot atone for my mistake. Sorry to the master and you, Madam.

It's lost, so be it. Nanny Li, please rise.

Thank you, Madam.

Losing the certificate doesn't make the marriage fake.

[Draft]

[Deed]

We'll end here for today. You may leave.

My Lord, we shall take our leave.

Miss He. Please stay.

I heard your father is unwell.

Thank you for your concern.

My father is bedridden, so I am handling affairs for him.

But did you know,

your father sent a letter saying your family would be absent today?

It was my decision to come here. Please forgive me, My Lord.

There's no need to apologize.

I know why you're here.

I recently heard some rumors.

Upon reflection,

I realized I too have made mistakes,

which caused you to suffer unjustly.

We met today. I must apologize to you.

This matter was indeed caused by me.

With your wedding approaching, I should not trouble you any further.

I only have one daring question to ask.

Did you reject me because I come from a merchant family?

I absolutely do not look down on you.

Was it because Ms. Lian refused to accept me?

I am a stranger to you.

If I let you be my concubine, it would be unfair to you.

What if I'm willing and wouldn't feel wronged?

If I took you in,

you should know I wouldn't devote myself wholly to you,

and you wouldn't want to share your husband with others.

In that case, you'd only end up with regrets.

Even with high status and wealth, you'd only experience pain,

leading to estrangement.

You're so considerate of women.

You must have someone you love.

Thank you for enlightening me today.

Someone I love?

Do I?

[Mansion of Lord Huaiyang]

Miss, are you going back home?

No. Go to North Street.

I want to tell Ms. Liu that I've let go.

[Cui Mansion]

Master?

Honey.

You're back.

Come on.

Sit with me for a while.

♫ The boat drifts, bringing back the sunset ♫

♫ When we reunite, we still joke about the cause and effect ♫

If you keep looking like that, your gaze burn a hole in me?

Dear.

I have some good news to tell you.

Coincidentally, I also have some good news to share with you.

Then you go first.

Don't get too carried away with joy.

Alright.

Lord Huaiyang is getting married this month.

According to customs, the business chamber needs to prepare the porcelain.

Our Yushao Porcelain Shop has gained certification.

Honey, our porcelain can enter the Lord's mansion.

Perhaps on the wedding day,

the Lord will drink with his wife from the cups we made.

I knew you'd get carried away with joy.

Indeed, I am delighted.

Dear, I need to tell you

that the teacher said I've recently improved in Go skills.

Since I couldn't learn much in the club,

he introduced me to a national master, and asked me to go to study under him.

Really?

So, this is a double happiness.

I'll go get ready.

Dear,

but this time the teacher said I can't bring my family.

Well...When are you leaving?

Well...Tonight.

So soon?

Such opportunities are rare.

I've already asked Moru to help me pack.

When will you return?

Maybe in a month. Maybe...

Dear,

don't you want to eat the dishes from your hometown?

It's a good chance to go back for a visit.

You look guilty.

Every time you leave, you're always in such a hurry.

As your wife, I never have time to prepare anything.

Prepare what?

Remember to take the medicine patches.

Keep them warm in front of the fire each night

before you apply them to your arms.

After two months, you will be recovered.

When you meet the master, you must attend to formalities.

If you need anything, just send a message.

I'll have Nanny Li deliver it to you.

Also, the mountain can be very cold.

You like cold drinks and wearing light clothes while practicing boxing.

When you're warm, don't indulge in the cold.

Moru can handle these trivial matters.

You needn't worry.

I'll leave now. Goodbye.
