01x04 - Stand Up for Him

[bunniefuu]

No, you can't enter.

You can't enter.

Young Lady is practicing calligraphy.

Cheng Shaoshang.

I've underestimated you.

You scheme worse than I thought.

You pretended to help me,

so I'll keep staying in the main house.

You didn't even hesitate

to discredit your biological mother.

This is odd.

You don't want

to move out of the main house

because of Cheng's offspring.

And I did it to anger Mother.

The two of us

have the same goal.

How can you blame me?

I know you've been

holding grudges for years.

Hence you deliberately try to divide us.

Your Father ordered your

Second Uncle to move to the new residence

while leaving me here.

You and your mother

must have instigated this.

Second Uncle can't walk well.

Father thought

the new residence is bigger

and the furniture

can be placed more sparsely

so that Second Uncle won't bump into them.

That was kindness.

Stop explaining.

I swore

that I'll never leave

before I give birth to a son.

But now you've moved Second Uncle

to the new residence.

How can I

get a son alone?

Since ancient times

hens lay eggs and roosters crow.

Why does a woman

need a man for a child?

Who are you calling a hen?

Men and

I don't know how to talk to

a kid like you.

Don't be complacent.

You and your mother are just lucky

to have the help of

your Father's merit.

There's nothing so great about it.

If I were lucky,

I wouldn't have been abandoned as a baby.

My parents didn't take care of me

since I was young.

If I were lucky,

why would I be left

by you in a small village?

I was so sick that I almost die.

You think my mother is lucky

because my father is healthy.

Second Uncle has a disability.

But all these years,

Second Uncle treated you well

and obeyed your every request.

Why can't you be content?

Obey to me?

That's because he's useless.

If he weren't useless

and unable to be the head of the family,

why would I be cold-shouldered

by you and your mother?

He's just a cr*pple.

Only your family

treats him like a treasure.

How dare Second Madam reprove

her husband in front of Young Lady?

Can't you tell?

She was talking irresponsibly

because Niaoniao agitated her.

You mean, Young Lady did it intentionally?

Take some servants to the main house.

Roger.

Cheng Cheng.

You're a man after all!

Your wife is being bullied,

yet you didn't say a thing.

Why don't

Why don't I give you my dress

so you can put it on

to show your brothers?

You're neither successful in your studies

nor your career. You're even a cr*pple.

What can you do?

What can you do?

Why am I so unfortunate?

I married an useless person like you.

That's enough!

If you're so unsatisfied,

you may go back to your Ge Family.

Brother

will give you more money.

Dream on.

When I married you,

your family was in distress.

Now that your brother is successful,

you want to leave me?

Dream on!

If you had told me to go back

to my family earlier,

I would say that you're courageous.

What now?

You've been

a worthless wretch your entire life.

Now that your brother is successful,

you dare to talk against me!

Don't even think about it!

You useless wretch!

You're just relying on your brother.

Stop it.

Put it down.

Sister-in-law.

Qingcong.

General found some good liquor

and would like to

enjoy it with Second Master.

Go ahead.

Okay.

Ms. Qingcong.

Don't help me.

I can walk myself.

I don't dare to disobey First Madam's order.

Please don't make things hard for me.

Get lost.

Get lost!

Xiao Yuanyi.

How dare you hit me?

I'm not just going to hit you,

I'm going to expel you.

Dream on!

When the Cheng Family was poor,

my family helped you all.

So what?

Now that the Cheng Family is strong

and the Ge Family is weak,

I can hit you and expel you as I like.

What can you do to me?

How dare you?

My father

helped the Cheng Family.

What help?

Sponsoring ration?

Every family in the village

and the district has done that.

We protect the village

so that the folks

don't end up in wars.

We protected so many lives.

You only contributed

some rations and money.

So what?

Shut up!

You indecisive foolish woman.

My brother is kind enough

to endure you up until today.

Do you think this is your credit?

Is he afraid of you?

We'll move in three days.

You just stay put here

and wait for the Ge Family to pick you up.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

Are you going to tell

my family that you will expel me?

Haven't you been trying to remarry?

I'm just helping you out.

I know, you treat me so

to avenge your daughter.

But I have never harmed her.

It's she who doesn't live up to your expectation.

You're hating the wrong person.

I don't hate someone easily,

and nor will I hate the wrong person.

You're getting more

and more jealous every day.

How can I just let you be?

I know

everything you did.

I know

everything you did to Niaoniao

in the past years.

So what?

I'll just take Yangyang back to my family.

Dream on.

Yangyang is a child of the Cheng Family,

she's part of Cheng.

But you must leave.

I have to let you know

how I felt when you forced me

to abandon Niaoniao

in the name of Old Fairy.

It's a boy.

Old Madam.

Old Fairy was right.

Don't forget.

Old Fairy said

the baby has to be left here

to protect you from the disaster.

Don't forget.

I didn't.

How dare you mention

the words of a mountebank to Mother?

What are you scheming?

You're going to a battle soon.

It's normal that you loathe

being apart from the child.

Yes.

That's right.

Sister-in-law is weak after giving birth.

Why don't

we leave her and her son here?

So that

she can take care of her child

and the words of Old Fairy are followed.

Old Madam may also then

be protected from the disaster.

Isn't it a win-win solution?

You want to separate us as a couple.

No one shall stay behind.

Our family will live and die together.

What

What about me?

I'm not your family?

Do you want to sacrifice me?

Old Fairy

Old Fairy mentioned

that I may face a disaster this year.

A baby from the main house

must stay behind to avoid it.

You unfilial son.

Do you want me to die?

I've raised you for nothing.

Hubby, I no longer want to live.

Mother.

This is a lie of a mountebank.

Nonsense.

Old Fairy is accurate.

He said that Sister-in-law

will have a baby boy.

Isn't that right?

Yes, that's right.

He foretold correctly.

Okay, I shall k*ll him now.

Let's see if he can foresee his disaster.

General.

General.

Military order. Gu City is in danger.

You're needed for the rescue immediately.

What?

His Majesty just gave that order.

The entire army shall depart in two hours.

Head to Gu City

to assist Marquis Huo.

You may leave.

But the baby must stay.

Or else

you must step past my dead body.

Old Madam.

Yuanyi.

What did Old Madam say?

Only if the child is left behind,

Old Madam can avoid the disaster.

Yes.

Yes.

It must be this baby.

Yes, this baby.

In that case,

leave the baby girl behind.

Baby girl?

It's a pigeon pair.

First Madam also gave birth to a daughter.

Who will be left behind?

I'll leave my daughter behind.

This is our way

to show our filiality to you.

I'll take my son along.

Yuanyi.

General.

Mr. Huo is in danger. We can't delay it.

Depart immediately.

Without my order,

you can't leave this house.

Yes.

Where's Second Master?

Master is accompanying him.

Don't worry, Madam.

Keep an eye on Madam Ge.

We're moving soon.

Don't let her spoil

our positive atmosphere.

Don't worry, Madam.

It's not that I look down on Second Madam,

but I don't think she would

k*ll herself.

The misfortune in our family

isn't a good thing.

Don't be happy.

Noted, Madam.

If she had behaved,

I would have let her

spend the rest of her life

in this old house.

It seems

there's no use for it now.

Young Master.

The iron smiths in town are normal,

except for this one.

Since Head Armorer Dong is arrested,

it has been closed.

The people said

that the business is bad

due to the location.

But we noticed

that there are still servants

who bring food to that shop every day.

But the people in this shop

never once came out.

Search.

Roger.

Young Master.

All the iron smiths

respect Zhu Rong.

They wouldn't leave His statue stained.

Don't run.

You're good

that you found this place.

But you should know

that I won't say a word.

I don't have a family,

you can't threaten to k*ll them.

I know. You have many ways

to make someone talk.

Being caught by you

is worse than death.

Therefore

He's taking poison.

I'll do it myself.

It's highly toxic. He can't be saved.

Hurry.

These weapons came just in time

to save us from the urgency.

Take them into the warehouse.

Hurry.

Qi, Fei.

Arrest all the staffs

who work in this shop

and all the servants

who work for the Xu Family.

I want to interrogate all of them.

I want to see

how many families of his I can k*ll.

Young Master,

do you remember this birthmark?

I will never forget it

even if he's turned into ash.

He's the one

who replaced the inferior weapons

in the warehouse.

I actually let him die so easily.

Take down this shop.

Search every inch of it.

Roger.

Hold on.

Don't make too much noise.

Don't let anyone know

about Xu Jinzhong's death.

Investigate his contact with others

secretly.

Don't miss any clues.

Roger.

(Cheng's Residence)

Master Ge.

(Master Ge)

Father-in-law.

I apologize

to you.

No, we owe it to you.

(Aunt Ge)

No, we owe it to you.

Our family should apologize to you.

I bid my greetings

to Grandpa and Aunt Ge.

Get up.

You have grown up.

She grew into a beauty.

Yangyang grew so well

because of your gentle care.

Yangyang.

I brought you many good things.

Yangyang is weak.

Cheng Cheng's legs are injured.

Master Ge is old.

So let's don't stand around here.

Let's go in, Master Ge.

That's right.

This way, Master Ge.

This way.

Take her to me.

Go.

Okay.

(Cheng's Residence)

I

feel pity for her because

she lost her mother at a young age.

I've spoiled her.

I know she has many problems

yet I shamelessly

let her marry you.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you

for your tolerance for many years.

Today,

I came here

Master Ge.

To apologize.

Don't do this, Master Ge.

Please stand.

Father.

Father.

The Cheng Family has wronged me.

Scoundrel!

Sister-in-law.

Ever since you were born,

Father-in-law has answered your every wish

and given you much love.

Have you been filial even for a day?

You're causing trouble all the time.

Father-in-law is old now.

Because of you, he came

despite the bad weather and long journey,

yet you're not sorry at all.

You

You're

heartless.

Master Ge, you're embarrassing us.

When I was in the battle,

if it weren't for you

who helped with the ration

General, don't mention that.

Only a woman like my daughter

will keep mentioning that.

During the chaos,

our family was capable

but had no one to rely on.

It was just a small part

of our asset.

Thanks to your help

our village is safe.

There's nothing to thank.

I'm not worthy of it.

You're too humble.

In the past decades,

I stayed uninformed in the village.

I thought

she would grow better with age,

her temper would improve.

I didn't expect,

according to the report,

not only that she didn't improve,

she has become worse.

It has been hard for you.

I didn't raise my daughter well

and have troubled you.

Father-in-law.

Please don't say that.

I'm also wrong.

She was

Cheng Cheng.

I've watched you grow.

I know your personality.

It was supposed to be an honor

to be your father-in-law.

But I've troubled you

and sapped your will away.

How can I

not be embarrassed?

Today,

please write the repudiation paper

and I shall take this evil spawn back.

Isn't the Ge Family here?

Old Madam must have arranged a banquet.

Why are you here?

They're a family.

Why should I stay there?

I used to think Cheng Yang was unlucky

to have an ignorant mother.

But I know today

that she's the luckiest.

Aunt Ge loves her so much.

Second Madam dislikes

that Third Lady isn't a son.

She abandoned her

before she was a week old.

What's so lucky about her?

Little chips can start great fires.

If Yangyang had grown up at home

like me,

she would have been as hated

as Second Aunt.

Now she grew up with Grandpa,

the Ge Family treats her like a treasure.

Unlike me,

neither Grandmother nor Mother loves me.

And I have a malicious Second Aunt

who raised me.

I'm the unlucky one.

No one dislikes you.

How could you leave

without greeting Master Ge?

That was rude.

Master Ge isn't here to visit

but to handle something important.

Why should I be there?

To watch Second Uncle

write the repudiation paper?

Second Aunt has tortured me a lot.

Should I have

listened to Master Ge

apologize to a junior like me?

But I wasn't right

about today's matter.

I'll change myself.

I'll surely change myself.

You should still greet Master Ge

and Aunt Ge.

Don't make them wait.

Aunt Ge, take me home.

I want to go home.

Don't be silly.

The Cheng Family is your home.

Your parents and your family are here.

You'll only have a future here.

I don't want a future.

I want you and Uncle Ge.

Sister.

Come in.

Okay.

Yuanyi.

Greet Aunt.

Is this Niaoniao?

You're a good girl.

Here.

Take a seat.

My sister-in-law

Stop it, Sister.

Our families are close.

We understand.

You've also suffered a lot.

But since she joined your family,

it was your turn to suffer.

Now that Master Ge is taking her back,

you have to suffer again.

Speaking of which, I'm sorry.

Yangyang.

Don't feel embarrassed

when you hear others

talking about your mother.

What we got from our parents

isn't just our body,

but also our character.

If your parents have good character,

you should learn from them.

If your parents

aren't good enough,

you should take it as a warning.

Remember.

Your behavior is your best accessory.

Raise your head.

A man can aspire anywhere.

But should ladies

rely on their parents forever?

Parents can't be your backer forever.

Only when you're determined,

you'll have no fear.

It doesn't matter when and where,

you must be strong

and independent like a big tree.

If you can

learn one thing or two

from your Aunt Yuanyi,

you will have no worries.

Why don't you drink your buttermilk?

Aunt Ge.

Try our buttermilk.

It's tasty.

Niaoniao is a good girl.

You're still as broad-minded as before.

You raised Yangyang

to be a well-behaved

and dignified lady.

Unlike Niaoniao,

who is raised by Madam Ge

I wonder if it's too late.

Educating children

is never too late.

Even when our children are old,

as long as we're still alive,

we're responsible to educate them.

Although Yangyang

isn't so sharp,

she's honest and obedient.

I hope that

you won't dislike her.

I've always liked you.

I of course like Yangyang

who is raised by you,

why would I dislike her?

From today on,

I'll treat Yangyang like my daughter.

I won't let her suffer.

Stand right there.

I have an order.

Aren't we going to greet Master Ge?

Why are we going back?

Do you think

Master Ge is really resting?

If I go there now,

I may see Second Aunt being scolded.

Do you

want to eavesdrop?

If yes,

I shall go with you.

Let me ask you,

why did you rush

to serve Aunt Ge buttermilk?

Yangyang was there.

What should she do

when you put yourself in the limelight?

I just liked what Aunt Ge said.

I like someone with her character,

so I did it.

Why would you think that about me?

You obviously dislike me.

You always

guess me from the worst.

You always think

Yangyang is kind

and I'm never kind.

Everything I do

is a scheme.

If it weren't for

your usual extreme behavior,

I wouldn't misunderstand you.

If you were like Yangyang,

who's gentle and diligent,

people would

think kind of you.

I'm stupid.

I'm not like Yangyang.

I'm really envious of her.

She was raised by Aunt Ge since childhood.

No one raised me.

How can I be like her?

Don't be angry.

I have a thought.

For the sake of your health,

from now on,

stop keeping an eye on me,

instead, look at my perfect cousin.

So that

you can be happier.

It's okay.

I can train the worst soldier.

You're just a stubborn girl.

In the future,

I'll have more ways

to educate you.

(Cheng Shaoshang.)

(Rather than pleasing those people)

(who have a prejudice against you,)

(why not)

(be more detached?)

(Anyway, you have no family to rely on)

(and no friend to share your burden.)

(There are more people)

(who hate you than love you.)

(Without Madam Ge,)

(there'll be other people.)

(Just treat yourself better)

(and expect less from others)

(so you can live more freely.)

(Ruyang)

My mother is old,

so she can't travel far.

How can I have

your mother send me off?

Cheng Cheng.

You have studied hard

since you were young.

Family matters have troubled you.

Since you have the will

to continue your studies,

go to Mount Bailu.

You'll be successful there.

Thank you for your compliment.

Sorry.

Don't feel sorry

because of your disability

or your age.

Many sages gained their success

at an old age.

We may not be as successful as the sages,

but we can have their spirit.

When you're successful in your studies,

come back to the village

and open a school.

So that everyone,

despite their background,

can study if they want.

Then my hard work won't be in vain.

May your wish come true.

I will not disappoint you.

Okay.

Father.

Focus on your studies, Father.

I will learn to manage the household.

Your mother is going back to the Ge Family

and I may have to travel far.

From now on,

we can no longer take care of you.

Sister-in-law.

Yangyang is weak.

Although she has servants to help her,

I'm still worried.

I hope

Brother and Sister-in-law

will take care of her,

so I can study in peace

in the school of Mount Bailu.

Don't worry.

I'll treat her

like my own.

I won't let her

suffer one bit.

Yangyang.

When you face anything,

discuss it with your Aunt Yuanyi.

Remember,

the Cheng Family is your home.

Don't worry, Aunt Ge.

I will.

Child,

obey your Uncle Cheng Shi and Aunt Yuanyi.

All right.

Farewell is inevitable.

Thank you for seeing us off here.

Goodbye.

Safe journey, Master Ge.

I'll leave her in your care,

Brother and Sister-in-law.

I bid

my gratitude.

Cheng Cheng.

Take care.

Take care.

Don't be sad, Yangyang.

Your grandparents

have sent a letter to Mount Bailu.

When your father is there,

someone will look after him.
