(Flourished Peony)

(Episode 23)

Miss Yun found out it was the county princess who orchestrated this,

so she knew saving you wouldn't be easy.

Teacher wrote to me and urged me to return as quickly as possible.

He said that if I couldn't save your life,

I shouldn't bother going back to see him.

Please thank Lord Xu and Miss Yun for me.

I pushed two horses to their limits to get here.

Aren't you going to thank me?

Thank you, Lord Jiang.

With your thanks,

my trip here wasn't in vain.

You've seen me off far enough.

I'm leaving now.

Lord Jiang.

I have a favor to ask.

Can you

buy me?

Otherwise, I'll never leave this place

as an official's slave.

I want to keep doing business.

- I want to continue... - You want me to save you

out of this misery and return to Chang'an?

But I heard your shop is already...

My shop is gone now and I have nothing,

but you've seen

my way of doing business and making money, Lord Jiang.

If you help me leave this place,

I'll start over again.

I won't let you down

as your money tree.

If you agree,

we can renegotiate

your share of the profit.

I can give you 20% more.

You bought me already.

Were you acting

to take full advantage

of me?

I didn't do it on purpose.

You were the one who mentioned

my share of the profit and money tree.

I'll put the money for buying you on your tab.

You can pay me back every month.

Lord Jiang is a sly man indeed.

You won't even make a slight loss.

Otherwise, how can I become your master?

Don't worry.

I never scold or hit my servants.

In the future, the money you make will belong to me

but your life

is still in your own hands.

Let's go.

What are you waiting for?

Are you waiting for me to carry you?

Hold tight.

I won't take responsibility if you fall.

Let's go home!

Da Fu.

Your leg is still injured. How can you go to the army camp?

Yes, Da Fu. Do you not care about your leg anymore?

There are no other choices now.

Lord Jiang hasn't returned and we asked everyone we could for help.

How can we save Mu Dan if we don't break into the camp?

Her fate is still unknown.

Are we just going to wait and do nothing?

I will go with you.

We will wait at the camp's entrance.

They will send people out to buy supplies, right?

I'm sure we can ask them about Mu Dan.

All right.

However, it's inconvenient for me.

If I don't return the whole night and my father finds out,

I'm afraid I can't leave my house anymore.

But I will prepare lots of medicine and nourishment.

Perhaps we can send them to Mu Dan.

We need someone to guard the house.

Chun,

don't let Wang Qing steal Mu Dan's flowers again.

- Let's go. - Let's go.

- Who is it? - Let's go and take a look.

- Mu Dan? - Mu Dan.

I'm back.

How did you leave the camp?

This...

It was Lord Jiang.

Lord Jiang saved me.

Sorry, Mu Dan.

I failed to protect Blooming Abode for you.

The money at home

was seized by the official as well.

It's all right.

Losing the money is nothing much.

We can open any shop with me around.

That's right.

Let's go.

What happened to Da Fu's leg?

She got hurt when she fought Wang Qing.

It's fine.

Chun already wrapped her legs.

I've caused trouble for all of you.

Did the guards trouble you?

Mu Dan.

We are a family.

There's no need to behave like a stranger.

Mu Dan.

It's all thanks to your benevolence

and far-reaching plans.

When we joined the fragrance powder business,

you asked me and Da Fu

to open an account each at the bank.

This time,

the money from your shop was seized

but we still have our share.

We can start a business again.

Forget about that for now.

You and Da Fu are both patients.

Don't go anywhere in the next seven days.

You must stay home to recover and apply medicine.

Don't be so strict. It'll be fine.

Mu Dan.

Da Fu.

- Take it slow. - I know these things

are very important to you.

I hid them quickly

before the officials came here.

Thank you.

It's all right.

You are back.

Seriously. Why are you so badly injured?

I... Why am I crying?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Enough. Come inside the room with me

and let me see if you have other injuries.

Let's go.

What an ingrate.

Just like these fruits

with a bad core.

Mu Dan,

don't feel sad for someone like that.

It's not worth it.

Be careful.

The blooming period for the herbaceous peonies is over.

It's the season for summer flowers now.

Wu Niang, you are good at growing flowers.

Come with me to Blooming Abode

to take care of the flowers.

The shop also needs someone

to make the fragrance powders.

- Wu Niang, can you... - I told you

I would never help you

or care about anything related to the shop.

If you don't want to visit the shop,

let's go to He's house

and bring back all her precious flowers.

It will be a relief

for the flowers to be with us.

Da Fu is guarding Mu Dan's house.

Even if you can steal those flowers,

you still can't grow them well.

There's no need to waste your energy.

He Wei Fang is just an outsider.

We are a married couple.

Our lives will only improve if the shop is doing well.

Don't act rashly out of anger.

Think of it as doing it to save money

for our future children's sake.

How's that?

Deities from all directions.

If you do exist,

please bless Mu Dan

and let her return safely.

Did I commit such a serious sin?

Even the deities can't forgive me.

Candles in the draught

can only be lit up with two people guarding it.

It will extinguish

when one of them is missing.

Mu Dan.

You are back.

I didn't see you at the tavern

so I guessed you probably came here.

You haven't been living a good life recently.

In that case,

why did you betray me?

Why did you insist on choosing this path?

I've never thought about betraying you.

The person I least want to hurt in this world is you.

I just want a family.

I didn't know Wang Qing would ask me for information

and report you to Jingzhao Fu.

Talking about this

is no use now.

I brought harm to you.

Since you wanted to reconcile with Wang Qing,

why didn't you tell me beforehand?

Am I not worthy of your trust?

Did you forget

the pain Wang Qing caused you so easily?

The pleasant words of someone who beat up his wife

are just like this candle's flame.

It seems warm

but it's actually flickering

and extinguishes whenever there's wind.

You have Chun

and Da Fu to accompany you.

You have Lord Jiang and your ex-husband to care for you and pursue you

but I have nothing.

I don't have Chun's family background.

I can't make you happy like Da Fu does.

I don't have talent that makes you proud.

As Blooming Abode grows,

you'll have more talented people around you.

There will be one day

when you no longer need me.

Sheng Yi.

We knew each other when we were ordinary people.

When I had nothing,

you accompanied me

and started the business at this ruined temple.

No one can replace a relationship like this.

Da Fu and Chun are my friends

but they are also your friends.

Shouldn't we support and understand each other?

Right now,

I've become a commoner

and you've suffered again.

Sheng Yi.

Look at the price you have to pay for this false relationship.

Isn't it too much?

Sorry.

Mu Dan.

I've let you down.

No matter what I do,

I still can't repay you in any way.

I'm satisfied

now that I see that you are safe.

I will never appear before you

and make you sad anymore.

I said so much just now

not to upset you.

I want you to see your current situation

and not repeat your mistake again.

Sheng Yi.

If you are suffering,

just come back.

I told you

that you have a share

of every cent I make in Chang'an.

You will also have a place to live

at where I stay.

It's the same in the past.

It's the same right now.

It will forever be the same.

I will never become Qin Sheng Yi.

I am just Qin Wu'er.

I can't go back anymore.

Why not?

I will get back Blooming Abode in the end.

In my heart,

you will always be Sheng Yi!

I won't return to this place anymore.

Mu Dan,

I hope all the friends you make in the future

are sincere ones.

Don't meet

someone like me again.

This is...

Who sent you here?

Miss He.

Young Master did not miss

anything from your hometown that you mentioned.

You really

brought everything back for me.

Did I make a mistake?

This was supposed to be for Sheng Yi.

I wanted to give this to her as dowry

when she finds a good man

to marry.

You did everything you could.

She was persistent about not coming back.

You are a confident person.

Why are you worried about nothing

when it comes to your friends?

Who was the one

who promised me confidently to start over again?

You can't make money

if you feel sad every day.

Don't worry.

I will get back Blooming Abode as soon as possible

and repay you your share of the profit.

How much do these items cost?

Don't worry. I'll record the money for all this

and the indenture.

I'll pay you back when I make money in the future.

How can I remember so many things?

Calculate the amount later

and give her the total tomorrow.

Yes.

- Do you want some candied fruit? - Eat the wheat cake while it's hot.

Did you go to Zhang's Starch Noodles which I recommended?

I did

but I didn't get to eat it.

Why?

The stall was popular.

When I arrived, only one bowl was left.

I met an old man coincidentally.

He wanted to buy it

to mourn his daughter who fell off a cliff.

A kind person like me

obviously let him take the last bowl.

The father loved his daughter a lot.

He gave me

half a bag of wheat cakes in exchange

for the noodles.

The charcoal should be hot enough.

Give me the wheat cakes. I can grill them now.

Try it.

Does it taste like your hometown's?

Is the father

still healthy?

Everything is fine.

The only person he still misses

is his daughter who passed away.

He is worried

that she might become a wandering spirit that no one misses.

It's great that he is fine.

The traveler's heart is weary

and wants to return as soon as spring arrives.

Since Jiang Xiao Hua has become He Wei Fang again,

you should go home

if you miss it.

Didn't you ask me

why I didn't return home after escaping the Liu Residence?

I went back actually.

I went back while riding a horse carriage.

When I almost reached home,

I saw candle lights at my home.

I thought

they lit the candles to wait for me.

When I got near, I realized

Father was standing with the Liu family servants.

They were going to search for me.

I heard Father say

the Liu family was the best family.

Marrying someone

is the only path a woman can take.

If they had found me,

they would send me back to the Liu family.

Back then, I knew

I can no longer

return to this home anymore.

Parents love their children

and think of a long-term plan for them

but the long-term plan

might not be what the children want.

The county princess is loved by King Ning

but she has also been forced to marry someone she doesn't love.

My father might love me as well

but he thinks

my wisest choice is to stay in the house

while serving my husband and educating my children.

He doesn't understand.

I don't want to become a paper crane that is controlled by others.

I want to become a flying bird.

Moreover, Aunt is at my house

and Man is there too.

Father has a large family to feed.

Even if I go back,

I'll only cause them more trouble.

If that's the case,

I might as well not go home.

Knowing that they are doing well is good enough.

Jiang Chang Yang.

Thank you for bringing these back for me.

It's all because Chuan Yu wanted to eat the noodles.

It's no trouble for me anyway.

You've pretended to be an evil person for too long.

Have you forgotten

how to become a kind person?

You helped me

yet you are still so stubborn.

I had a lot of misunderstandings towards you in the past.

Until now, I still don't know

what kind of person you are.

However, I know

you are a gentleman who is worth being friends with.

Whether I am an official's wife,

a flower merchant,

or an official's slave,

you've never looked down on me because of my identity.

Jiang Chang Yang,

besides a relationship that only talks about money,

why don't we become

friends who treat each other sincerely as well?

Are you drunk?

Yes. I am drunk.

That is why I dare say this to you.

We are

already friends.

Young Master.

Do you have any news?

She'd rather become an official's slave than marry me?

This is impossible.

I'm going to ask her myself.

Young Master.

Young Madam has left the military camp.

You came to the Imperial Stable last time

and didn't find a good horse, Flower Bird Envoy.

A good horse has arrived today.

Take a look and see if you like it, Lord Jiang.

Zi Shu, you are too polite.

Delivering a horse is a task

that doesn't require you to come in person.

I'm sure you know

why I came here, Lord Jiang.

Get on the horse.

Take the horse on a stroll and see how it is.

Yes.

Zi Shu, you failed to manage your wife

and caused me to lose my money tree.

Are you here to pay me back for my loss?

I can give you as much money as you want, Lord Jiang.

As long as you are willing

to sell He Wei Fang to me.

He Wei Fang is not an animal at the Imperial Stable

who can't speak up for herself

and let us discuss her purchase

at this place.

I don't mean that.

If you respect her,

you should ask her if she wants that.

Or do you

clearly know

that she will never agree to it?

Why are you so sure

about what she wants?

We live close to each other

and see each other every night.

What do you think?

Jiang Chang Yang.

Were you already interested in my wife back in Luoyang?

You can have any woman you want.

Why do you take away what others love?

Who are you to criticize me?

Moreover,

He Wei Fang doesn't approve of your love, right?

This is just a one-sided love of yours.

He Wei Fang is a proud woman.

If there's a choice,

she will never become a slave.

Did you intercept my letter

to the camp?

I didn't see any letter.

When I rush to the camp,

I only saw her nearly getting raped and killed by the soldiers.

Liu Chang,

I'm sure I don't need to tell you

who gave orders to these soldiers.

Whether it's He Wei Fang,

the county princess,

or you,

you always fail to see a person clearly.

Return the horse to Lord Liu.

Let's go.

Yes.

You were punished for that matter.

There's no need to give all these things.

In the future, if you can be a man of integrity,

you will still be an important figure in the association.

Leader, you are magnanimous.

I'm very grateful.

However,

my position as vice leader is lost now.

There are rumors spreading out there.

Lv,

we've known each other for so long.

Can you be lenient with my punishment

and give me another chance

in the future?

You did something wrong after all.

The punishment was decided. There's no reason to change it.

Don't say something like this again.

Yes.

Has anyone accepted

the order of Old Lady Tang's Flower Banquet for her 80th birthday?

Old Lady Tang

is very picky but she has been granted the title of Lady Mingfu.

You'll be doomed if she says a word about you.

No one from our association dares accept this order.

As far as I know,

the new vice leader

has had no orders from any nobles recently.

Why don't you let him share the association's burden?

Besides Old Lady Tang,

the Tang family's fourth son is also infamous for being spoiled.

His father's birthday banquet was badly organized

and he destroyed the restaurant that was in charge of it.

Yu Ying,

are you planning something evil?

You've misunderstood, Leader.

I'm just worried about the association.

Look.

We must give the Tang family a reply tomorrow.

If we reject them,

The fourth son of the Tang family will come and trouble the association.

We have no choice but to take this order.

Leader.

Leader. The new owner of Blooming Abode, Wang Qing, requests a meeting.

Miss He might be impertinent

but she loves flowers sincerely.

Wang Qing doesn't even know how to grow flowers

yet he took over Blooming Abode with a despicable method.

The association doesn't welcome such a shameless person.

Chase him away.

What?

Did Wang Qing say something important?

Wang Qing said

he wanted to accept the Tang family's order.

Why are you so late today?

I had to treat two patients with stomachaches and ran a little late.

What about the Flower Association?

The Flower Association gave the order to Wang Qing.

Really?

Mu Dan, you predicted it correctly.

I've asked around for many days

and found out no one dared take Old Lady Tang's order.

Wang Qing has never done business with any nobles

and only knows that he can make a lot of money.

He didn't know how hard it was to organize a banquet for the nobles.

I just need to take advantage of the situation and use a little trick

to let him hear about this.

With his greedy personality,

he will never let this chance go to waste.

Why is it broken again?

The hoe I bought previously

were not that good.

I'll go and buy a couple more tomorrow.

You should rest for a while

after working for four hours.

Have a sip of tea.

Come, Chun.

Mu Dan,

you set up a huge trap

to lure Wang Qing

not just to get back Blooming Abode

from him, right?

What do you mean?

Here.

After asking around,

I do know that there are many merchants who are organizing banquets.

However, Mu Dan chose the Tang family especially.

Besides

seeing her as a difficult customer,

you also chose her

for her position in the capital, right?

Exactly.

I established Blooming Abode myself.

Not only do I want to get it back

but I also want to restore the reputation

that Wang Qing ruined.

Since you want the Tang family's business

and Lord Jiang and the Tang family's fourth son are friends,

why didn't you let Lord Jiang help you get acquainted with him?

Most of Blooming Abode's regular customers

heard I was rescued by Jiang Chang Yang.

I'm no longer the shopowner and just a servant

in their opinion.

Moreover,

I have no shop and flowers.

How can I accept this business?

However,

Blooming Abode can.

This is...

Why have you returned all the flowers?

The Tang family pays you a huge deposit, right?

How can these flowers be good enough

to decorate Old Lady Tang's birthday banquet?

We cut our flowers

and loaded them up at dawn.

The Tang family's garden is outside the city...

Cut the nonsense.

Your flowers can't even last a few hours.

What can you do for tomorrow's banquet?

Deliver me two carts of new flowers immediately.

All the flowers at Blooming Abode are here.

Please help me out.

Go away.

I don't care if you borrow or rob other people.

Everything must be perfect

during tomorrow's birthday banquet.

If the flowers are not enough or wilted

and ruined Old Lady Tang's blessing,

you might even lose your life

let alone money.

Shopowner, even the servant of the Tang family is so fierce.

If we ruin the birthday banquet and offend the nobles,

we might really be dead.

Why don't we go and buy more fresh flowers?

We spent all our money to buy these flowers.

We don't have any money left.

What did the Leader say?

The guards didn't even let me in.

They told me that the leader says

Blooming Abode isn't a part of the Flower Association.

Selling so many flowers to you

was the best they could do.

It's impossible

to ask the Flower Association's florist

to help us.

What should we do?

What are you doing?

- Shopowner He. - Sheng Yi, get up.

This evil woman instigated me

to report you previously.

I brought her here now and you can do whatever you want to her.

Sheng Yi, get up.

Wang Qing accepted a noble's order and couldn't fulfill it.

This is none of your business!

Get lost!

I dare you to touch her again!

Sheng Yi. Get up.

Get up.

Come.

How are you?

Let me find a physician for you.

No need.

I don't want to soil your clothes.

She is an abandoned woman.

No one wants her besides me.

She will only be with me.

Shopowner He, forget about her.

Let's talk about our business.

For Sheng Yi's sake,

I'm willing to persuade her as much as possible.

As for a shameless person like you,

didn't you say you wanted me to end up with nothing?

What's there to discuss with me?

I have nothing to discuss with you. Get lost!

I didn't know what was good for me before this.

Shopowner He has the Flower Bird Envoy to protect you.

You are not someone a commoner like me can offend.

I came here today because of your relationship

with Wu'er.

I know you are not running any business after returning to Chang'an.

Coincidentally, I accepted an order for a noble's birthday banquet.

If you help me organize it,

I'm willing to sell Blooming Abode to you

at this price after you help me.

What a joke.

The shop is supposed to be mine.

You'll be dead soon. How dare you offer shamelessly

to sell it to me while begging me at my doorstep?

How did you know?

The order for Lady Mingfu's birthday banquet

was usually accepted by the Flower Association.

Do you know

why they let you take advantage of this order this time?

It's because Old Lady Tang is picky

and the fourth son of the Tang family is a scoundrel.

None of the Flower Association's shopowners dare accept this order.

Meanwhile, Blooming Abode is not a part of the Flower Association.

Even if you mess up this order,

they will not be affected.

To them,

you are just the perfect scapegoat.
