(Flourished Peony)

(Episode 20)

No wonder the business of Huanyun Pavilion is always good.

The bed is so comfortable.

Actually, tonight,

I've been wanting to find an opportunity

to have a good chat with you.

What do you want to know, Mu Dan?

I will tell you everything you want to know.

That's great.

I dared not disturb you

when I saw how busy you were today.

Thankfully, there are not enough rooms

so I can shamelessly enter your room

and learn about business from you.

You are also a shopowner.

Blooming Abode's business is booming.

What else do you need to know?

There are many things that I don't know.

Blooming Abode is just a shop right now

so I can still manage it barely.

But I plan to open more branches

and serve more customers.

Mu Dan, you are ambitious and courageous.

I'm sure you can do it.

Miss Yun, tell me.

Huanyun Pavilion is an inn

that serves food and wine

with performances as well.

You have so many activities in your business.

How do you manage all of them?

If you want to expand your business,

you can't rely only on yourself.

You also need to depend on the capable people around you.

Everyone has their strengths

and weaknesses.

You must place everyone

in a position that they are best at.

Let your helpers

show their strengths.

My Lord.

I'm extremely grateful

for the Princess' love for me

but what I get isn't what I want.

If we are forced to get married,

it will only be unfair to the princess.

I beg you

to cancel my marriage with the princess.

Did you argue with You Zhen?

She has been spoiled since she was young

so she has a willful personality.

You should be more accommodating to her.

I've considered it thoroughly.

I didn't ask for this on a whim.

Please agree to my request,

My Lord.

You Zhen is infatuated with you.

She begged me a few times for the sake of your position as an official.

You are suddenly asking to cancel the marriage now.

Not only have you made her love for you go to waste

but you are also neglecting the royal family's reputation.

I broke my promise

regarding the marriage.

I'm willing to resign as assistant revenue minister.

No matter how you punish me,

I have no complaints.

Have you considered it thoroughly?

Yes.

All right.

As a father,

You Zhen's happiness

has been a worry of mine.

I was worried that you married her

for the sake of your career.

However, what you said just now

was the words of a gentleman.

You made me see you in a new light.

Come.

You are a talent.

I'm sure you will achieve something great

after you go through some trials.

Well. Let me transfer you to another place first.

Whether you can be promoted

will depend on your ability.

Thank you, My Lord.

I'm extremely grateful.

Master!

King Ning has agreed to the cancellation of the marriage.

There's no need to persuade anymore, Father.

I must beat you to death!

- Master! - I was unfilial.

I'm willing

to accept any of your punishment

but I must remind you, Father.

Lord Chen is entering the capital today.

With your abilities,

you can persuade him

to let you keep your position

and not be hindered by what I did.

Stand up.

It was just an argument

between children.

Liu Shen said

he would

persuade Liu Chang

to reconcile with the princess.

Liu Shen

is embarrassed to meet you

and begged me to help him

offer this month's tribute.

There are nine more boxes outside.

Since Liu Shen

became the Grand Treasurer,

the money he offered as tribute

has doubled.

Liu Shen

might be a coward

but he is a lapdog who is good at making money.

Your ambition

requires a lot of money to get things done.

Why not

keep Liu as your money tree

for now?

Forget it.

Since you are willing to say good things about him,

it seems like this person

can win people's hearts.

My Lord, you are wise.

Don't worry. He will never be a part of

the higher officials' network

but there are troublesome people sometimes.

Liu is a good candidate

to be sent to protect

the minor officials.

You banished Liu's young master

to become an official at a place like that.

I'm sure he can't take it.

In a few days,

he will come back and beg for forgiveness.

Then, he'll go and comfort the princess.

How dare he humiliate my daughter.

Even if he regrets it in the future,

I must still teach him a lesson

during this period.

She Yan has a good life.

Young Master always

visits the Imperial Stable to choose horses for him.

She Yan risks his life for me

and is busy all the time.

I must prepare a few good horses for him.

You don't travel often

since you're always beside me.

Why are you feeling jealous?

That's not right, Young Master.

I've worked hard as well.

Look. I must fend off assassins

who appear from time to time

and have to put up an act together with you.

Fine.

I know you've worked hard.

You may take the golden long-poled blade

at the warehouse.

Really?

Thank you, Young Master. I will do my best to serve you.

Young Master Liu.

Come.

Try this delicious dish.

Official Ge, that's a water ladle used to wash horses.

How can it be used to drink water?

Why not?

Didn't you say it has been cleaned?

Are you neglecting your duties?

You are framing me.

Official Ge, why are you troubling me?

Why?

Young Master Liu.

You are no longer

King Ning's son-in-law.

There's no need to drink water with a jade ladle.

This dirty tool

fits your status.

Pry his mouth open!

Try it.

It's very delicious.

Not enough?

How about another ladle?

Official Ge, you are better

at training people than horses.

Lord Jiang, why are you here?

The newcomer is disobedient.

Sorry to let you see this, Flower Bird Envoy.

Are you here to choose a horse?

Let me bring you there myself.

No need.

I know Zi Shu well.

Let him

accompany me today.

Zi Shu, I'm seeing you in a new light.

You even dare refuse King Ning's wedding proposal.

King Ning used to matchmake you and the princess.

Didn't you refuse it as well?

The princess only likes you.

In my opinion,

she is firm on marrying you.

She is so persistent.

You could just go with the flow

so why did you

ask for trouble instead?

Lord Jiang, are you here to persuade me on King Ning's behalf

or are you persuading me

for your neighbor's sake?

It seems like you miss Jiang Residence's florist a lot.

She faked her death

and restored her identity

before establishing Blooming Abode in Chang'an.

I'm sure she had your help.

I'm just investing some capital

to make a profit without doing anything.

She achieved her current success

due to her own capabilities.

Why did you

help her get a divorce

in Luoyang?

She was badly bullied by the Liu family.

As her husband, you did nothing

and you wouldn't allow other people to help her?

I let her down in the past

but I will never be stuck in this stable.

When I get promoted,

I will propose to her

and treat her sincerely.

That's a wonderful wish.

Have you asked

if He Wei Fang wants that?

I will move her

with my sincerity.

Lord Jiang, why do you

care about

who she marries?

Are you worried that she can't help you grow flowers and make money

or are you having some selfish thoughts?

That's not important.

But if the princess finds out about your intention,

I'm afraid

Wei Fang's life will be in danger again.

That's all I'm going to say.

I hope you behave yourself.

I thank you

for what happened just now.

Young Master,

why did you meddle in other people's family business

and make yourself upset?

What do you mean by family business?

They are no longer a family.

Jiang Xiao Hua is my money tree now.

You have lots of money in the treasury.

Do you really need this money tree?

You look so pretty.

We've purchased Blooming Abode's deed.

You are no longer Qin Wu'er who needs to rely on Wang Qing

but Shopowner Qin who has a shop in Chang'an.

You must return to Ning

with your head held high.

I've never returned home

in such a grand manner.

Do you think it's too flashy?

Going back in a nice dress will let your family

see you in a different light

and tell them that your life is different.

You are the most successful daughter in the family.

You have a great future ahead of you.

They will surely not underestimate you anymore.

Here. Take it.

- All right. - Go home bravely.

Father! Mother!

I'm back.

- Sister-in-law. Quan'er. - Wu'er.

Wu'er.

- Aunt is back. - Close the door.

Come in quickly. Don't let other people see you.

- Give it to me. - A dumped woman still dare return in such a flash way.

How shameless.

If the neighbors see you,

they might gossip about you behind your back.

I was almost beaten to death by Wang Qing

so I got a divorce.

I wasn't dumped.

I had nothing to be ashamed of.

You were still

being chased out of your husband's house after all.

You embarrassed me so badly.

Wang Qing is very gentle.

I'm sure Wu'er disrespected him

and angered him.

Let me take a look.

- Si Lang. - Mother.

Let me see what she brought back.

An argument between husband and wife is normal.

A family can only live in harmony

when the woman is gentle and obedient.

Your sister-in-law is right.

You shouldn't be so pampered

as someone else's wife.

You can only have a good life

when your husband is happy.

Come.

Si Lang.

Mother. Don't move.

Don't you know what time it is? Go and cook.

Why are you spacing out?

Get to work.

Look at how lazy you are.

No wonder Wang Qing beat you.

Go and do the laundry.

Go and do the laundry.

Let's see if there's anything else.

Sister.

Sister.

You are finally back.

I miss you so much.

Liu Lang.

I miss you too.

Sister,

you made osmanthus cake for me

whenever the flowers bloomed in the past.

Try the ones I made today.

It's so delicious.

Liu Lang.

You've grown up.

Sister, you should leave Wang Qing sooner.

I'm sure you are living a better life now.

You've become prettier.

This osmanthus tree

was the only bit of color in this house.

Why was it chopped down for no reason?

Brother wanted to make a wooden horse for nephew.

Why did you bring back so many useless things?

If you have money, buy some clothes for your nephew

or make him a silver lock.

Sister has sent a lot of money back home normally.

Everything you and Mother is wearing was bought by her.

What did Brother do for both of you?

I gave birth to her and raised her.

Shouldn't she do this?

If I didn't marry her to Wang Qing,

do you think she could go to Chang'an and live a comfortable life?

I could finally live a comfortable life after leaving Wang Qing.

I opened a shop with two of my friends.

All of these were made in our shop.

Its demand is higher than the supply in Chang'an.

In the future, we will still open branches.

Friends? Who are you calling friends?

Open your eyes and take a good look.

The ones before you are your family members.

Family members?

What did you do for me?

Have you cared about my well-being?

You animal!

Father, what are you doing?

Women should prioritize their husbands

yet you are still feeling happy

when you no longer have a husband.

Wu'er.

You don't even know how to read yet you're starting a business.

Do you think you are cut out for it?

You could still survive

when you relied on Wang Qing.

Later, you made some friends and earned some money.

Then, you're acting all arrogant.

You are just a worker.

What else do you know without anyone helping you?

Enough.

You're always showing yourself in public without being virtuous.

Which honest man will want to marry her?

Consider it!

- Enough. - Wake up. Move.

Wu'er.

How can you go against your father?

Did some bad people

give you a bad influence?

Women should always marry someone.

Even if you make a lot of money,

it still means nothing if you have no children.

Why don't you find Wang Qing

and apologize to him

so you can go home and live a good life?

I didn't say I didn't want to marry

but Wang Qing

isn't a good person.

Do you think Wang Qing wants you back?

Dream on!

Go and cook.

Wu'er.

We are doing this for your own good.

It's fine even if Wang Qing doesn't want you.

Your father

has found you

a new husband.

Let's meet him later.

Who is he?

The head of the village.

Zhou's family.

Zhou only has an eldest son.

He is more than 40 years old

and he has two children.

You are an abandoned woman

who had a miscarriage.

No one knows if you can still give birth in the future.

Who else would want you besides a widower?

Zhou's family has fields.

If you manage it well,

you will live a better life than you did in Chang'an.

All right. This is the last time I'm going to apply medicine for you.

Whether you come in contact with water or soil in the future

is none of my business.

The cut is clean,

There won't be scars in the future.

Chun's skill in medicine is amazing.

You're great.

Enough, Mu Dan. Stop flattering me.

This is the herb's effect instead of the physician.

Anyone can treat you just the same.

No wonder Blooming Abode's employees didn't seem too happy

after they recovered when I asked them to visit you.

It's difficult to reply to your words.

Everything I say is the truth.

Why are they unhappy?

It's fine if you don't understand how to be tactful when facing others.

Just take it slow in the future.

Chun.

You said this cream

can get rid of scars and freckles.

I'm sure many women need it.

Previously, we used tree peony bark to make our fragrance powder

and it was well-received.

Why don't we

add herbs to a cream

to make some beautifying cream this time

and sell them at Blooming Abode?

We'll be able to help more people if we do that.

Yes. I've thought about it.

If the cream sells well,

I will open a shop for you

so you can become a shopowner.

I just want to improve my skills in medicine

and treat patients.

I don't want and don't know how

to manage a shop and make money.

Think about it.

If you have your own shop,

you will have your own place

to practice medicine freely.

It's a good thing for you and your patients.

As for how you manage it,

I can help you

or hire someone to manage it.

If I can practice medicine freely,

I don't mind giving it a try.

However, can I really do that?

Don't worry.

I've never been wrong when judging people.

When the shop is opened,

I'm sure many people will visit especially for you.

When the time comes, Blooming Abode can take advantage of the fame as well.

Yes. We can take advantage of the fame.

You don't even know how to read yet you're starting a business.

Do you think you are cut out for it?

You are just a worker.

What else do you know without anyone helping you?

Yes.

I know nothing.

You are just leading me

because you are kind.

Other people can also do good things for you.

When have I made you proud?

Chun, you will surely be a good shopowner

in the future.

You've sat here for a long time

and are always mumbling.

It seems like you have something to say.

What is it? Tell me.

It's nothing.

I...

If I tell you,

I'll be beaten up.

Understood. Being loyal.

Keeping a promise is important.

Don't tell us.

- We won't listen. - No. It's not that serious.

It's...

My mother

is suffering from constipation.

She has a bloated stomach

which causes flatulence every day.

It's troublesome for me.

Chun, if you can help her,

I can get you anything you want

including a ginseng spirit or a handsome man from another family.

Of course, I want the ginseng.

Why do I even need a handsome man?

Don't tell my mother.

If she finds out,

she will punish me.

My mother

might look like a friendly person but when she is angry...

Why did you come here?

I know you will also be here

at the child's death anniversary.

You feel sad about it. Do you think I'm heartless?

When I think of our children,

I still feel a lot of pain.

How pretentious.

You've never burned any paper offering previously.

I didn't want to accept it before this

but I've reflected on my mistakes.

I was careless

and neglected your health

so you had a miscarriage

because you were overworked.

Hit me.

Hit me. Hit me.

I hate myself more.

I let you go

because of my absurd actions.

Your friends

are not married.

They are not mothers

so they don't understand your pain.

After your miscarriage,

you are weak and afraid of the cold.

I brought this hand warmer to warm you up.

The child is gone.

Our relationship as husband and wife is over.

What's the point

of doing this?

Everything in the past

was my fault.

I hope Heaven

and you

can give me another opportunity.

I will cherish you, love you,

and protect this family.

Wu Niang,

who else in this world

will miss you so much besides me?

I can't leave you.

I know it's also the same for you.

Let's get together again.

In the future,

we will have another child in the future.

Wu Niang.

Wu Niang.

Wu Niang.

Wu Niang.

Lord Jiang, I allowed you

to drink with me at the pavilion

but I didn't allow you

to steal my chicken.

Merchants will normally

send gifts to their major customers.

I am your biggest creditor

yet you won't even give me some food.

How can you do business

when you are so petty?

Who told you I didn't prepare food for you?

These are all for you

but not this chicken.

I'm saving it for someone else.

Who is it?

Are you interested in a young man?

Should I help you take a look?

When did you see me having an interest in young men?

Sheng Yi is coming back tonight.

I'm sure she is tired after her journey.

I prepared this for her

as a nourishment.

Sheng Yi

is always working hard.

She never complains no matter how tired she is.

I know she is weak against the cold.

She probably got it when she was with Wang Qing's family.

She wouldn't let Chun take her pulse as well.

So,

I can only take care of her diet.

I lived in Jiangnan for a few years when I was a child.

Locals wrap chicken in lotus leaf before grilling it.

By doing that,

the grilled chicken will have the fragrance of plants.

I heard Physician Chun made medicine

and left a few pieces of lotus leaves in your house.

We can give it a try now.

Right.

Don't worry.

This is fire. Do you think I dare touch it?

You're right.

Don't touch my chicken.

My chicken!

Jiang Chang Yang!

Young Master.

I've delivered the dendrobium

to the backyard as you ordered.

However, Miss He is still angry.

She even called you

a chicken thief.

The dendrobium was given to me by His Majesty.

It is very precious.

Her mother used to open a medicine shop.

I'm sure she knows

this is more nourishing than the chicken.

Why did she still scold me?

Miss He said

you should be scolded for taking things away without asking for permission.

Young Master.

You knew there was nothing special about the chicken

so why did you steal it?

You know nothing.

I'm doing it for pleasure.

Young Master.

He only said so much

after such a long time.

Most of it is false as well.

It's time to take it seriously.

Cui Mao.

Was the wine I served you

strong enough?

Jiang Chang Yang.

You've always been putting on an act.

Aren't you afraid

that people might find out that you've brought me here?

You knocked out the guards and escaped.

It has nothing to do with me.

The officials who escorted you

were worried about being punished for negligence

so he reported that you died from illness.

Right now,

no one knows that you are still alive.

I have a habit.

I will prepare a good jar of wine

to those who enter this place.

If the person is innocent,

I will give this jar of wine to him.

If the person is guilty,

I will pour the wine

on his grave.

However,

you wouldn't confess.

The wine is already old.

I've said

everything I should.

I'm the only one

who is responsible for the buying and selling of official positions.

Besides that,

I've never committed other crimes.

Is that so?

Huameng County's Merchant, Li,

had his goods robbed on the 27th day of the third month.

Soon after, his family jade pendant was possessed by Cui Mao.

Li reported it to the officials.

That night, his whole family was annihilated by bandits.

The Cui family

took 200 mu of Yang's field last autumn.

I forgot to tell you.

Those who entered this secret room

have never left this place as an innocent man.

If you don't confess,

I will keep finding evidence of your crime.

Robbery and taking other people's land.

Each of those is a serious crime.

You will surely die

but you can choose

to die with less torture.

You still won't confess?

Fine.

I'm going to eat supper first.

What did you do to my son?

Do you feel helpless?

If you confess,

the mastermind will annihilate your family.

If you don't confess,

you are worried that I will kill your eldest son.

I will take responsibility

for all the crimes.

I beg you.

I beg you not to hurt them.

Your wife and children

know nothing about the crimes you committed.

They are not supposed to die

for your sake.

If I confess my crime,

and the testimony

is submitted,

King Ning will know that I'm still alive.

- When the time comes, I... - When the time comes,

I would've sent them out of Chang'an.

No one will find them.

However, I will send them away

without taking the money you obtained from bribery.

In the future, they will live their lives in poverty

but they will also be safe.

During your funeral,

your eldest son was crying without stopping.

I told him

I was powerful

and could send this rattledrum to the underworld

and give it to his father.

He believed me

and asked me to send you a message.

He said

he might not be able to see you again

but he will miss you forever.

He hopes you can become a good official in your next life

and continue your relationship as father and son.

Sheng Yi.

Sheng Yi, are you asleep?

Sheng Yi.

I saw you going back to your room as soon as you returned.

You seemed tired.

Did something happen

back at home?

Are you willing to share it with me?

It's still the same with my family.

I have nothing to tell you.

Mu Dan.

I'm tired.

I want to rest earlier.

Drink this nourishing soup when it's still hot.

You will feel better after drinking it.

Call me any time whenever you want to tell me.

Here you go.

You purposely made this for me?

What else do you think?

I roasted a chicken for you

but the one next door stole it.

Thankfully, he is sensible and sent this good-quality dendrobium.

Enough talking. Here.

Drink it while it's hot.

Rest early and don't overthink.

Young Master, the evidence is ready.

When should we depart?

The sooner, the better.

However, we need an excuse

to go to Luoyang.

His Majesty's teacher has passed away

and is feeling depressed.

The Flower Bird Envoy is trying to search for something

to ease his mind. How about that?

Call for lunch to be served.

Start packing after lunch.

Yes.

Lord Jiang.

Miss He.

Greetings, Lord Jiang.

You were still scolding me last night.

Did you take the wrong medicine today?

It was the right medicine.

Thank you for delivering the dendrobium last night.

Sheng Yi is looking better after eating it.

I'm here to give you a gift as thanks.

I only get these few cakes

in exchange for the expensive nourishing herbs?

Enjoy, Lord Jiang.

I'm leaving.

Wait.
