[Fated to Love You]

[Episode 6]

Zhang Yuan Qing has complete control over who enters and leaves the Ancestral Hall.

There must be something off in here.

The candles?

I get it.

Damn! Someone's here.

That's strange. The Ancestral Hall's doors are usually locked.

Why aren't they locked today?

Seems like I'm not the only visitor.

Come out!

- Why are you here? - Why are you here?

What are you doing here?

I'm here to look for evidence of Zhang Yuan Qing using poison.

What about you? Why are you here?

I'm also here to find evidence for Zhang Yuan Qing's deeds.

The same.

One, two, three.

There must be something wrong with this Ancestral Hall.

That's right. I've searched for a long time but failed to find clues.

That's because you're a man.

What has that got to do with being a man?

That's because tidying the Ancestral Hall is a woman's task.

Zhang Yuan Qing lit the candles of the Ancestral Hall herself for years.

This is the only pair out of over 200 candles that have never been lit.

Here's my guess.

The mechanism lies here.

Impressive!

A woman's instinct.

It seems like this is Zhang Yuan Qing's secret hideout.

She has really kept her true nature well hidden.

Zhang Yuan Qing even managed to build this large secret room under the Ancestral Hall.

A map.

That's...

A hairpin?

This hairpin is...

We can't stay here for long.

Let's talk outside.

- Come on. - Okay.

This fan clearly belongs to a man.

Did Xiao Ming leave it there when he was in that secret room?

Chang Ming?

Is Xiao Ming's name Chang Ming?

Grand Master Meng Hui's name is Chang Ming.

Grand Master Meng?

Grand Master Meng and Zhang Yuan Qing...

Well, you...

Why are you looking at me like that?

She's not my mother.

The blood in my veins belongs to the Xiao family.

- Hurry. - Don't pull me!

- Faster. - The melon seeds are scattering. Stop pulling me!

Get a brain. Go.

Wait here for me. Stop looking around.

Talk nicely. Why must you grab me?

Why are you here? We are not open today.

How did you get in?

I'm here for Sister Hong.

That's me. You can talk.

Oh, so you're the one.

My granddaughter is as pretty as a fairy.

I'm sure she's worth a hundred taels or so.

It's good that she's pretty,

but she looks rather foolish.

Who knows if she can be trained well?

She's a good learner.

If she can't learn, just beat her until she does.

State your price.

At least a hundred taels.

A hundred taels? Look.

She has already fled.

Fled?

She won't be far. I'll look for her.

Another worrying one.

Goodness.

Are there thieves in brothels? Why have they locked up everything in the day?

This must be a fine lady's room.

It's so nice.

I wish I could stay in such a place.

What is that sound?

My wife?

Wife?

Where did she go?

Once I catch you, I'll beat you to death.

She's finally gone. I'm safe.

This is an imperial envoy's token.

It wields the same authority as an official, got it?

Who gave that to you?

That's none of your business.

If you take me to the government office to make a report, I won't pursue this matter with you.

What crime did I commit?

This appears to be a brothel,

but it trafficks humans.

A man like you can't be a courtesan.

Besides, you're here at this time of the day.

I'm sure you aren't a customer.

So I think you're definitely—

What in the world is going on?

That old widow picked her up by the river.

She was wearing these clothes on that day.

The old widow kept this jade pendant in a box.

I've checked.

The carving on this jade pendant is General Liu's family emblem.

General Liu?

Is she Liu Jing Shu?

Yes. Even though the old widow mentioned memory loss,

she's certainly the eldest daughter of the Liu family.

The top lady of the capital, Liu Jing Shu.

Madam.

You're truly the daughter of a general.

Of course.

In the capital,

everyone praises the daughter of the Liu family to have ethereal beauty.

Why have I never heard any praise about your excellent martial arts?

Where did you hide them in the past?

- How is that possible? - Stand still!

Stand still!

Why are you running off?

Why is your temper so bad today?

Did something annoy you?

Are there new clues about Zhang Yuan Qing?

A married couple should be honest with each other.

She was never of one mind with my father.

She's been hiding so many secrets for years.

The more I investigate, the more appalled I get.

Madam.

We can't be like that.

Of course, why would we be like that?

How about we finish this game of chess?

Sure.

If you're keeping secrets from me, tell me right away.

No matter what happens, I won't hold it against you.

Why would I be keeping secrets from you?

Are you sure?

Why are you being so doubtful?

I'm unlike Zhang Yuan Qing.

Where did you get this jade pendant?

Of course, it's from you, the Eldest Miss Liu, My Mady.

Where did I get it?

I found it after you accidentally lost it.

Xiao Ren Yan, you know everything, don't you?

Don't beat around the bush with me.

This is my older sister Liu Jing Shu's personal item.

Have you found her?

Older sister?

My older sister, Liu Jing Shu, was bestowed marriage with you by His Majesty.

A few days before the wedding, she was invited to visit the Marquis of Xuanpaing's Manor.

From then on, she has been missing.

Who are you then?

I am Liu Jia.

My sister and I are twins.

She is the official child,

I am... the evil child.

How could you hide such a huge matter from me for so long?

You are really something, Liu Jia!

Xia Ren Yan, I am sorry about it.

But my older sister doesn't know anything about it. It's completedly unrelated to her.

Can you please let her go? She is your wife, after all.

What about you? What is our relationship?

It's my fault to involve you into an injustice.

From now on, whatever you wish,

I will go through fire and water to comply.

I don't need anyone to go through fire and water for me.

Look into my eyes.

Tell me.

Have you never liked me?

Never.

Fine.

Since your older sister is the one bestowed marriage by His Majesty,

then you should call me brother-in-law.

All these days, you've been intimate with your brother-in-law.

While we were in the midst of deep affection,

didn't you feel sorry toward your sister?

I entered the manor in order to find my older sister.

All these days, it's also for my sister's sake that I played along with you.

Played along?

Yes, I played along.

If you can play along with Zhang Xue Fei, why can't I?

Shut up.

Get out of here.

Get out!

Don't let me see you again.

Xiao Ren Yan, my older sister—

Don't worry.

I will take care of your older sister.

I'll love her and make it up to her.

After all, she is truly my wife.

From now on,

in the Marquis of Xuanping's Manor, and wherever I am,

there won't be any place for you.

Fine.

I wish you two to grow old together.

Xiao Ren Yan, forgive me for doing it this way.

Now that you've found my older sister,

she and I cannot stay by your side at the same time.

[General Liu's Manor]

It's good that you've brought her back.

Ever since she got amnesia after getting sick, she's been listless.

Mother-in-law,

I already know everything.

She is Liu Jing Shu, not Liu Jia.

In the Marquis of Xuanping's Manor, it may look calm on the surface

but turbulance abounds.

I deliberately had a fight with my wife this time

so I could bring the older sister back to where she belongs.

Thank you, Your Highness.

It's not necessary to be so courteous, Mother-in-law.

Liu Jia is my wife.

For my in-laws, I'm willing to go through hardship and suffering.

Bright and early this morning,

Liu Jing Shu already went back to her home.

Clearly, the two of them had a huge fight.

Greetings, Old Madam, Second Young Madam.

Han Jiao, go ahead and return to your room.

I...

Yes.

Speak. What did you find out?

The wife to our Marquis' heir isn't Liu Jing Shu.

My older sister Liu Jing Shu was bestowed marriage with you by His Majesty.

A few days before the wedding, she was invited to visit the Marquis of Xuanpaing's Manor.

From then on, she has been missing.

Who are you then?

I am Liu Jia.

My sister and I are twins.

She is the official child.

I am... the evil child.

So I see.

I was wondering.

How is it that Liu Jing Shu, when she married into our manor,

was entirely different from the Liu Jing Shu we saw originally?

General Liu's Manor actually has hidden an evil twin.

They even let the evil twin substitute Liu Jing Shu to marry into the Marquis' Manor.

Twins?

That brainless beauty who came before the wedding

was Liu Jing Shu.

But the one who married into the manor was the twin, Liu Jia, who has been hidden by General Liu since she was born.

This is wonderful, Yuan Qing.

Heaven is helping us!

What do you plan to do?

Capturing both of these women

would be the same as capturing General Liu.

Xiao Ren Yan married the evil twin.

He can't escape, either.

Did I write all of these books?

Older Sister wrote these books under an alias.

Whenever a new book is published, it's always sold out.

When you were missing, all the bookstores were looking for you.

Court officials occupy their positions without being productive.

Women are relied upon to serve the country faithfully.

Older Sister, you write really well.

What's this about keeping the official one alive but killing the evil twin?

We both came from the same maternal womb. How can one be killed while the other is allowed to live?

Heaven is benevolent to all living things.

Why do humans kill newborn babies?

This is a terrible law.

Although you are an amnesiac,

you are still kind and warm-hearted.

Jia'er, we are twins from the same maternal womb.

In this world, we are the closest ones.

Regardless of my memory, this fact stays the same.

Older Sister, I want to tell you about something.

Just say it.

Xiao Ren Yan.

He is supposed to be your husband

and my brother-in-law.

But I...

about him...

Mother-in-law...

In-law, Son-in-law said he'd let her stay here for a few days before taking her back.

How can the newlyweds live separately?

Little ones are immature. We older people must think for them.

But she has a contagious disease.

I'm afraid it'll harm your health.

I really must see her, then.

Jing Shu, I'm taking you home.

Isn't Jing Shu just fine?

I heard that you had an argument with the marquis' heir.

What exactly upset you so much that you returned to your home?

I don't really know.

When I woke up, I was already here in the Liu Manor.

As to what exactly happned, I don't really remember clearly.

I heard that you also got sick and lost your memory before the wedding.

Wedding?

Did I marry into your manor?

Don't try to remember if you can't remember.

I'll send you to the Buddhist Temple on the city's outskirts to recuperate.

Once you've recuperated, you'll probably recall your memories.

Stop right there!

- Xiao Ren Yan, I— - I wasn't talking about you.

Come here.

Put me down now!

Why would you go away with Xhang Yuan Qing?

Are you crazy?

Mother-in-law came to pick me up. Why wouldn't I leave with her?

There are many guards at the Liu Manor.

If you didn't want to go, could she forcefully grab you?

- Mother-in-law ordered me. How would I dare— - Don't pretend anymore.

How did you know it's me?

If I can't even recognize the person who sleeps next to me,

it'd be unnecessary for me to continue.

Since I can't hide from Your Highness' sharp eyes,

do as you wish, kill me or slice me into pieces.

Liu Jia, what did you call me just now?

Didn't Your Highness say so already?

There is no place for me in the Marquis of Xuanping's Manor,

nor in Your Highness' heart.

Older Sister is your true wife.

You were the one who lied to me first and forced me to talk harshly.

Now you used my words to block me.

Liu Jia, I've never been manipulated by anyone like this.

Didn't I say it already?

Kill me or slice me into pieces, do as you wish.

I won't kill you or slice you into pieces.

I'll punish you to stay by my side forever.

Take my bidding.

Let me torment you.

Let me love and pamper you.

Xiao Ren Yan, can we really be together?

Why can't we?

As the evil twin, I'll bring trouble to you.

Haven't I also dragged you into the turbulence in the Marquis of Xuanping's Manor?

I don't care whose daughter you are, whose sister you are.

In my heart, I only care that you are Liu Jia.

You are my wife.

Imperial Physician Wang came to make a diagnosis today.

He actually said his pulse has improved.

Why are you scared?

With the way he is, even if he doesn't die,

he will be a living dead.

I followed your order to capture Liu Jing Shu.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Ren Yan stopped me again midway.

He is always a nuisance. How will our Ming'er ever—

Cheating...

Cheating man and woman!

You adulterous man and woman!

Servants!

Servants!

You should die!

You should die!

What do we do now?

We might as well go the whole way.

Tell Xiao Ren Yan to come here.

Say that his father is asking for him.

Your Highness, Madam, Marquis is waiting for you inside.

Is my father awake?

Father.

Father?

Father!

Father! Father!

Father!

Father!

Xiao Ren Yan, you actually killed your father!

Xiao Ren Yan, you are so perverse

as to commit patricide. Heaven won't tolerate you.

This time, even the gods won't save you.

Servants, report to the authorities!

Wait!

I came in along with His Highness and found His Grace to be dead already.

You came late.

Why makes you say that he was killed by His Highness?

I'm relying on this.

The marquis woke up late at night.

He thought the rebellious and unfilial marquis' heir to be unqualified in his important role.

He asked me to write a memorial in the middle of the night

to change to Xiao Ming as the Marquis' Heir.

He made me write it up during the night.

He signed and stamped his seal.

[Marquis of Xuanping's Memorial]

Xiao Ren Yan knew that his heir's position was not secure,

so he came up with an evil idea.

He actually strangled his own father alive.

How did you know I strangled him?

You all never got close to His Grace after you entered the room.

You've been standing at a distance.

His Grace is even covered with a blanket.

How did you know he was strangled to death?

Unless you were present when His Grace died,

or you are the killer.

This is ridiculous.

The wound on Father's neck is so clear.

One can see they are made with a man's hands.

How could my mother have strangled him?

To evade the blame, Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law

are even trying to frame my mother!

No more talking with this brat who killed his own father.

Hurry and tie him up to send to the authorities.

Who dares to make a move?

My father is the Marquis of Xuanping.

When an imperial noble suddenly dies, the Imperial Clan Affairs Office will do the autopsy and draw a conclusion.

This time,

between you and me,

one of us will accompany my father to the netherworld.

Madam!

How are things? What did you find out?

The outside is full of gossip that the marquis was strangled to death by the heir.

The heir's young servant secretly passed a message to me,

saying that the heir has already been arrested by the Imperial Clan Affairs Office.

- We'll go to Hong He to discuss what to do. - All right.

Stand still!

Liu Jing Shu.

Your husband is in the imperial jail.

Are you rushing over to keep him company?

You...

I want to go back to my home.

This is truly as they say, "Husband and wife are like birds on the same tree"

"that fly separately away when there is disaster."

Why are you pointing fingers at me?

I sure would like to see, when Xiao Ming is jailed, will you still act like a loving wife?

How dare you curse my husband!

Jing Shu, although Xiao Ren Yan has committed the heinous crime of patricide,

you and he are not divorced yet, so you are still his wife.

How can you go home without any regard or care?

Then... what do you think I should do?

Zhang Xue Fei is pregnant with Xiao Ren Yan's baby.

Xiao Ren Yan won't be able to escape from execution this time.

But we can at least keep a descendant for him.

Later on, the descendant will take care of you until you are old, right?

I'll entrust her to you then.

Take good care of her.

Madam.

Go ahead and get settled first.

Take good care of your pregnancy.

Yes.

Madam,

why is Zhang Xue Fei pregnant as soon as His Highness is jailed by the Imperial Clan Affairs Office?

Even you think it's fishy, it must be faked.

They think I'm my older sister, so they would dare to do anything.

What do we do now?

When the enemy doesn't make a move, I stay still.

Baby, I hope your grandmother will keep her promise.

Once this matter is concluded, she'll let us unite with your father.

Concubine, Old Madam told me to serve Swallow's Nest Porridge for your supplement.

Thank you for saving me, Your Majesty.

No need for thanks between us. Just sit down.

Thank you, Your Majesty.

You've suffered in the Imperial Clan Affairs Office.

I listened to you and ordered an old coroner to check the marquis' corpse.

It was indeed odd.

This is the mark of a jade pendant left by the marquis.

I want to find an expert to decipher the mark.

This mark looks like Grand Master Meng's.

Grand Master?

How could it be him?

You'd have to ask Zhang Yuan Qing.

The grudge of killing my father is irreconcilable.

I must make them pay for the blood debt.

Grand Master Meng holds immense power.

Without any witness or evidence,

this jade pendant's mark isn't sufficient to prove that he is the killer.

The most urgent matter now is still finding the ledger

in order to knock down Grand Master Meng in one strike.

Zhang Yuan Qing has the ledger.

I must hurry back to the manor to search.

You can't rush on this matter.

You can hide here for a couple of days.

Once I return to the palace, I will find a way to exonerate you.

Yes.

Strange. Why would Xiao Ren Yan write a letter to me?

[I'm fine at the same old place. Don't worry.]
