Especially with the news of the w*r.
I feel
even more
uneasy,
fearing that we might part forever
and never meet again.
It must be laughable.
But fortunately,
you understand
my twists and turns of emotions.
That's why we can sit here,
on this peaceful night.
Among these thousands of lights,
we have our own.
My heart
feels settled now.
The world only knows
of the nobles and generals
who give their lives
and blood.
But in times of w*r,
this is what ordinary families are like.
What?
Aren't you an ordinary person?
Dear.
Can you see
the three stars aligned?
One day,
when Lord Huaiyang leads his army back,
he'll return from that direction.
But what if he doesn't win?
If he doesn't win,
he'll still return from there,
But he'll be
wrapped in horsehide,
returning in honor.
Come on.
Why do I need to know
where Lord Huaiyang will return from?
You're right.
All I know is
we're a common family.
We may not reach great wealth,
but at least we can stay with our loved ones.
That's enough.
Dear.
Tonight is beautiful.
I've chosen the finest brocade
and the best materials.
This marriage certificate
can last for many years.
Your writing is nice.
You should write it.
What's wrong?
I haven't decided what to write.
I've already had someone draft it.
I'll read it to you.
The respected in-laws,
the Qiao family of Beizhou,
granted the engagement
of Miss Miantang and Cui Jiu
of the capital.
Considering the ceremony and offering
to uphold the duties of the family
and the labors of the household,
the long-standing virtues are held.
A lifelong union is pledged,
written on this red paper,
bound by the pledge of autumn leaves.
What's wrong?
Let me hold you for a moment.
You can hold me for a lifetime.

(Letter of Divorce)
I'm Cui Jiu of the capital.
My wife, Liu Miantang, and I
(Letter of Divorce)
are united in marriage,
with deep affection
and profound love.
But now, with w*r raging,
the country is in turmoil.
As an able-bodied man,
I must grieve for the hardships of the people
and bear the suffering of the nation.
Though born a merchant,
I will not shy away from duty,
nor evade responsibility due to low status.
I have no grand ambitions,
but I should follow the example
of the countless men of Zhenzhou
and serve my country with my life,
even if it means death a hundred times.
By the time you read this letter,
I will have gone north with the Zhenzhou army.
Life or death is uncertain.
I fear for your sorrow,
and that your youth will be wasted.
So I am writing this letter of divorce.
All properties
and money,
I leave to you.
I hope Miantang will return
to Beizhou with the servants,
and live a peaceful life.
After this,
you are free to remarry.
There will be no disputes.
(Jinchen Tea)
How is my face?
Don't rush.
Alright. That's enough.
This time, the herbal smell is very strong.
Binglan.
Remember.
Walk a bit slower later.
You're supposed to be a bedridden patient.
- I know.
- Don't be nervous.
- They're here.
- How is it?
Pretty good.
You go ahead.
- Let's go.
- OK.
Before dawn,
the Lord had already set out.
Go back, everyone.
Has the Lord left?
Yes. Go back.
What happened?
Madam,
the master
still cares about you.
All the gold, silver,
and properties
he could leave behind,
he left them
for you.
Nanny Li,
bring the contracts
of Fangxie and Bicao.
Free them.
Moru,
go and buy
some ropes and straps.
Flat bands, woven tapes,
and thick ropes.
These are essential.
Madam,
are you?
Didn't he want me to leave?
Since I'm not coming back,
I'll take everything I can.
Ms. Liu tricked you.
Why go find her again?
She claims to be my friend.
I can't let this go like that.
I must hear from her
why she toyed with me.
(Cui Mansion)
Miss He.
Where is your madam?
Madam!
Madam!
Madam!
Nanny Li!
Madam!
Madam!
Nanny Li!
Where are they?
My Lord,
the troops have been marching for days.
The soldiers seem weary.
Should we camp here?
No.
The court has ordered us to reach
Jinjia Pass within the month.
This means
we must cover fifty miles a day.
If I'm lenient,
I'd only be harming you all.
My Lord.
Pass the order
to keep marching.
Any delay will be punished by military law.
Yes.
My Lord.
My Lord, the madam
- What's wrong?
- The madam is fine.
After receiving the letter,
she dismissed Fangxie and Bicao.
Then she asked me to buy some supplies.
When I returned,
she and Nanny Li were gone.
Nanny Li left a message for the guards.
She said the madam couldn't wait
and left with her and the money.
Rest assured.
Per your orders,
Fan Hu and the guys are following her.
Nothing else?
Else?
- You mean?
- Crying?
Ranting?
Panic and cursing?
Like that. What are you thinking?
Nothing.
After receiving it,
the madam handled it calmly,
without any fuss.
She focused on taking the money,
just as I expected.
She didn't even pretend
to cry?
No.
My Lord, I speculate
she's following
your letter's advice,
returning to her family to live well.
You should be glad
the burden is gone.
Yes.
I am glad.
She's just like other women,
knowing how to adapt
and live peacefully.
Very good.
Everyone, move on.
Yes.
That shopkeeper
is capable and kind.
He just advised me
where to change horses
and dine.
After crossing the state border,
it'll be barren mountains.
The northwest is cold.
Nanny Li, take care.
Madam.
Well.
Where are we going?
To Xizhou.
To follow Lord Huaiyang's army.
(Liu has left Lingquan
with her servants for Xizhou.)
She's gone to Xizhou?
Cui Xingzhou must have some skills
to make her so loyal.
Given what I know of Liu Mingtang,
she wouldn't be so sincere.
You mean she knows something
and wants to change her master?
All I know is
Liu Mingtang wants to follow Cui Xingzhou
to the death.
Now is the best time to catch her.
(Xizhou)
(Xizhou)
Nanny Li, are you okay?
- I'm fine.
- Madam.
Something's on the road.
I'll move it.
Sure.
Madam!
Bandits!
Come on!
Help!
Madam, thank heavens
for these heroes saving us!
Madam, you can't go!
The two bandits
are already tied up.
Good.
Thank you, heroes, for your assistance.
May I know your names?
No, no.
Madam.
Your bravery saved the day.
No need to thank us.
Madam?
Sir.
Have we met before?
I am
Fan Hu,
also from Zhenzhou.
We once met before.
Madam,
at Lingquan Town,
by the river,
you ran
- A porcelain shop.
- A porcelain shop.
We three brothers
were following the army,
intending to join and fight.
But unexpectedly,
we found you in distress.
As fellow townsmen,
it was our duty to help.
We didn't expect
to end up in such a sorry state.
These are my brothers,
Hu Ting
and Ying Zai.
I see.
I'm truly sorry
for causing your injuries.
It's okay.
Nanny Li.
Get some rice wine and dried meat
to thank and reward these heroes.
Yes.
Thank you, Madam.
Madam.
What should we do with the two bandits?
Earlier,
I heard wolves howling nearby.
Cut them and feed them
to the wolves.
Yes.
Oh, Nanny Li.
Heat some ointment.
The journey is long.
My wrist
needs to heal quickly.
Yes.
My Lord.
What's the matter?
My Lord, there's been
a suspicious carriage following us.
I suspect they're spies,
so I had them captured.
Interrogate them.
If they're a threat,
execute them at once.
I did that,
but those people
were fierce.
Especially a serious old woman
who said she knew you
and was looking for Mr. Cui Jiu.
Who else was with her?
A woman dressed as a man, a coachman,
and three men
claiming they want to join the army.
One is seriously injured.
Madness, absolute madness.
Following the army like this.
What are they thinking?
Understood.
Yes.
- Huang Gui.
- Yes.
Find me a set
of regular soldier's armor.
Keep it quiet.
Yes.
Come on.
Help me up a bit.
Madam.
Have some food first.
Are you better?
Yes.
I can manage.
Eat something.
Thank you, Madam.
Do you think you're Lord Huaiyang?
He wanted to be dramatic,
writing a letter to cancel the engagement
for some lofty ideal.
It's for his reputation.
But you're a commoner. Why follow his example
and write a divorce letter?
Leaving for the army without a word.
Did you ever think?
Even at the front,
the Lord won't lack women.
When he returns,
he'll have a higher rank,
wealth, and fine clothes.
But you, in a moment of impulse,
divorced your wife
and gave away your assets.
Do you think people will praise you
for making sacrifices?
Have the books driven you mad?
If you truly wish to serve the country
and fulfill your ambitions,
discuss it with me properly.
Will I stop you from that?
If you die in battle,
I'll bring you home, no matter how far.
But you wrote a letter to dismiss me.
Do you see me
as just a selfish,
cowardly woman?
Who told you to write a divorce letter?
Who told you to write that?
I was wrong. I was wrong.
I was wrong. I was wrong.
It's all my fault.
She must have been targeted
as soon as she left Lingquan Town.
They seemed to know
that Madam was chasing after you.
They set up an ambush
on the necessary route.
It's my incompetence
that put Madam in danger.
Please, My Lord
Please punish me.
When we were ambushed in the mountains,
Madam saw Mr. Fan was seriously injured.
She lent him her cloak
to keep him warm.
Despite the cold,
she refused to wear that cloak.
Why didn't you say so earlier?
Why take it off?
Just wear it.
So, the assassin
was subdued by her.
And your life
was saved by her too.
Yes.
Find a physician
to treat his wounds.
Yes.
Go rest.
Get it treated.
Thank you, My Lord.
I am Lord Huaiyang.
I was born
to bring peace to the land.
I'm responsible
for my country.
What right do I have
to talk about love?
I can't spend my life with only her.
I won't promise her that.
In the end, this is just a game.
When the game's over,
who would take
the pieces away?
Are you planning to stand there all night?
I just wanted to check if you're okay.
If you're fine, I'll leave.
Why aren't you leaving?
I wanted to tell you.
After the long journey,
you must be tired.
You forgot.
My family runs an escort agency.
Traveling is common.
I achieved merit days ago.
The general appointed me
to the patrol squad.
He also promoted me to a centurion.
That's good news.
Since you've been promoted,
you should return soon,
so you don't get punished
by the general because of me.
It will be even colder as we head west.
You must also keep warm.
You look worn out.
Marching is tough.
You must rest.
I'm fine.
Tomorrow, let the coachman follow the army.
After reaching Jinjia Pass,
I'll find a nearby village
for you to rest.
Okay.
Honey.
I
My hand hurts.
(He Mansion)
This man
treated He Zhen that day.
Right.
Why is he here again?
Is Zhen sick again?
She isn't ill.
She went early with the master to the shop.
With a look of debauchery,
he must be involved with that girl.
Take a few servants and
Please.
Who are you?
Are you a physician?
I am.
Good at treating women?
If you have any private ailments,
- I do
- Nonsense!
Indeed, you are frivolous and shallow.
- Someone.
- Yes.
What are you doing?
I'm here
to discuss something with your master.
I have urgent matters.
Be quiet.
Why are you doing this again?
Strip this
esteemed physician clean
and send him to He Zhen's room.
- Yes.
- No!
What are you doing?
Let me go!
(He Mansion)
Master!
This is serious, Master!
Master! Something's wrong!
What's with the panic?
Something terrible has happened at home.
Father.
Look at this.
Isn't this a misfortune for the family?
He Zhen has done
something so shameful
and disgraceful.
Not long after you left,
this oily-faced pervert
sneaked into the house
to meet with He Zhen.
You're talking nonsense.
Are you asking for a beating?
You've finally returned.
I've been waiting.
How unfortunate.
How unfortunate.
Father.
Are you crazy out of worries?
Such a jerk.
Don't mind him.
Untie me first.
Zhen.
Beg the Lord.
Ask him to spare our family.
Hurry!
The Lord?
- He
- Miss He.
Does your family
all like to do this?
Do you all like to bind people
and silence them?
This is the second time.
To be a physician in the Cui family,
one must have an unimaginable status.
But the medical skills
are quite inferior.
Mrs. Cui entrusted herself
to the wrong person.
Indeed.
I am not skilled in medicine.
The last incident was not your fault.
It's over now.
Don't you all
recognize this is a lord?
No.
Father, it's your fault.
If you had introduced us
to the dignitaries of Zhenzhou,
we wouldn't have offended
the Lord today.
Unfilial child.
Apologize quickly.
My Lord.
My Lord.
I was wrong.
My Lord.
I shouldn't have done it.
My Lord, I admit my mistake.
Please spare our family.
I am kowtowing to you here.
Alright, alright.
I'm not wearing my official robe.
Treat me
as an ordinary physician.
For Miss He's sake,
I will forgive you today.
Thank you, My Lord.
Mr. He,
I'd like to speak privately
with Miss He.
We'll discuss it with you later
about why I came here.
Alright, alright.
Please.
Don't me, Father.
You can sigh later.
I actually think
this is a good thing.
What good thing?
You've offended Lord Zhennan.
Our family will have to pay for that.
Father.
You
Father.
You're really confused.
Can't you see?
He is
interested
in our younger sister.
Is he here to see you?
No.
He came to find my good sister.
You mean
he's interested in our Zhen?
How could this be?
Our family has been
in business for generations,
and our status is far
from that of the Lord.
Moreover,
didn't the Lord
have an engagement with Princess Lin'an?
What happened?
Yes.
He was supposed
to marry the Princess,
but before the marriage,
she broke off the engagement.
The Lord's side claimed it was the Lord
who broke off the engagement.
But everyone knows
about this scandal.
After such a huge scandal,
how can he still hold his position
as the Lord today?
If you ask me,
after all,
he let me go today.
It means
he has treated me as family.
Really?
Of course.
No wonder
Lord Zhennan said
he had urgent business
to discuss with me today.
Could it be?
Yeah.
Maybe today
he was here to propose marriage.
Good.
That's great.
Good news.
A happy event indeed.
Miss He,
you look radiant.
It seems your health has improved.
Only trustworthy physicians
can be relied on.
Despicable quacks
can't be trusted.
Ignoble people like you
are indeed in cahoots
with your friend.
Miss,
you know that, huh?
I thought Liu Miantang
was pretending to be confused.
Now, I know you are Lord Zhennan.
I have
figured things out thoroughly.
Miantang
was deceived by you all
from the beginning to the end.
It's not as you think.
There are twists
and turns in this matter,
which concerns the peace of Zhenzhou.
I cannot elaborate at this time.
Is hiding his identity to keep a mistress
related to the safety of the county?
My Lord,
don't tell me such pretty lies
for a three-year-old child.
What you care about
is merely the face and reputation
of the powerful.
I'm not lying to you about this.
Lord Huaiyang has gone to the northwest
and divorced Liu Miantang.
They're no longer a couple anymore.
Lord Huaiyang and I
are not the kind of people
who are blinded by lust as you think.
I am here today
to ask Mr. He for a convoy
to deliver provisions.
When the time comes,
I will tell you everything.
My Lord,
I don't want to hear
about this filthy matter.
You
You infuriate me.
Mr. He.
Sorry for the wait.
My Lord.
- Please.
- Please.
Please.
To be honest,
I am currently
preparing a major event
that requires your strong support.
So I came to visit early in the morning.
I know about this.
Our family
is the leading merchant in Lingquan.
We'll be responsible
for this important matter.
So,
do you agree?
That's great.
Then no one else will have any objections.
I am the head of the family,
so naturally everyone will agree.
Moreover, such a significant matter
is a great fortune for the family.
That's precisely what we hope for.
We would be delighted.
Who would dare to object?
I didn't expect you
to have such insight.
I admire you.
To be honest,
I am usually careless
and useless.
This time, I'll be counting on you.
Not at all.
With all these compliments,
you flatter me.
It's our duty.
Not at all.
- Please.
- Please.
That's great.
Are you
really willing?
Zhen?
She's so willing.
How could she not be willing?
Besides,
this is a big event.
A happy event.
I usually
care most about my daughter.
She can do
whatever she wants.
But
Feel free to say it.
Good.
Then I will speak plainly.
You see.
Our family
is a merchant family.
I understand this.
This is business.
We'll be clear about money.
You underestimate our family too much.
Such a major event
has nothing to do with money.
Mr. He, you're an upright man.
