[Episode 17]

Qin.

Where are you going?

After Arong's death,

I have nowhere to return to.

To me,

it's better to find a temple

and seek solace within.

I'm bidding farewell

to you before leaving.

Take care.

Miss Jiang,

the night is damp and cold.

Be careful not to catch a chill.

Zhen,

luckily, you came here in time.

If not, Magistrate Jia

would've swept this case

under the rug.

Why are you still
pulling a long face, then?

It's because I've heard

that many women

who once went to Shan'an Hall

are now being pushed

to the brink of suicide
by their in-laws.

So I was wondering

if I had done the wrong thing.

You're wrong.

You're wrong for feeling guilty

about the right deed you've done.

Chief,

since you wish

to win Miss Si's heart,

why did you

invite Mr. Zhen here?

And now,

though you were the one
who helped her all along,

Mr. Zhen is the one

taking all the credit.

I understand her wishes

and have helped fulfill them.

In the end, I did help her,

and the rest doesn't matter.

If that's the case,

why did you make me

travel ten li overnight

just to buy Miss Jiang

some candied cherries?

This...

Don't overthink it.

It wasn't your fault.

You were brave.

Sorry for the interruption.

Mr. Zhen, after such a long
and arduous journey,

you must be exhausted.

Do you want to give this a try?

I dislike sweet food.

Understood.

Miss Jiang.

Why don't you try some candied cherries?

Commandant Yu,
you're good at consoling people indeed.

Miss Jiang cheered up

the instant you showed up.

Yes.

How is it? Is it sweet?

Yes.

Mr. Yu, how did you know

that I liked candied cherries?

I guessed

that you liked candied cherries.

I traveled ten li

just to buy them for you.

Thank you.

Another bite?

Commandant Yu, maybe I should also...

Mr. Zhen.

I almost forgot to tell you this.

You should go pack your belongings now.

We'll depart
for the Capital Administration Office tomorrow.

Jiang has already entrusted me
with the duty

of escorting Miss Jiang back tomorrow.

Why the rush?

You have official duties to attend to.

Miss Jiang,
why don't you have another one?

You should let Mr. Zhen try one.

He said he disliked sweet food.

Mr. Yu,

Baiyun Peak is up ahead.

The Baiyun Temple atop Baiyun Mountain

has always been bustling
with worshippers.

The people of Lingshui

love to make wishes in the temple.

Is that so?

My sister visits the temple

to make wishes and return the favor

every year.

I'm sure she's here today.

Let's go and check it out, then.

[Baiyun Peak, Lingshui]

[Madam Zhu]

She's merely offering incense
to Baiyun Temple.

What's with the kowtow

and the sutras?

If outsiders see this,

who knows how they'll gossip

about me as a mother-in-law?

Mother.

Yi has already gone on a three-day fast

for this praying ceremony.

She's putting in so much effort,

all because she wants to bear

a grandson for the Zhu family.

What's the point?

We've tried all kinds
of methods all these years.

She already took incense ash water.

We hung realgar around her as well.

None of the methods worked.

Mother.

Enough already.
You're the only one defending her.

If it were any other family,

she'd have been cast out long ago
for bearing

only a daughter in seven years.

I, Jiang of the Zhu family,

pray for the blessings
of the Child-Bestowing Deity.

May I give birth to a son

to continue the family lineage.

I vow to practice asceticism for life.

I shall abstain from meat and alcohol,

extinguish my greed
and renounce my pleasures.

Ziyu! Come back!

Yi?

Yi?

Yi?

Mother, Yi has fainted.

Let's send her to a medical center.

What should we do now?

The nearest medical center
is quite far away.

What happened to my sister?

Where did this lass come from?

She's Jiang Si,
Jiang Yi's fourth sister.

What happened to Yi?

She fainted due to the heat.

Yi.

Yi.

How did this happen?

Yi.

Yi.

- Si.
- How are you feeling?

What are you doing here?

Dear, put me down.

Hurry and send Yi to the medical center.

Yes.

Si.

I'm fine.

Yi, how are you feeling?

I'm fine.

Mother-in-law.

It's all my fault.

I've made you worry.

It's frustrating to look at

your sickly complexion.

Go. Take another carriage.

Stop appearing in front of me.

Yes, Mother-in-law.

Yi, sorry to put you through this.

I'll join you in another carriage.

Ziyu,

you shall take my carriage.

I need to talk to you.

Mother, Yi and I
will take the same carriage.

Her sister is keeping her company.

You don't need to worry about her.

Let's go back.

Ziyu, hurry.

I'm fine.

You should leave with Mother-in-law.

Si is here with me.

I'll be fine.

Si, sorry for the trouble.

Yi, how do you feel?

Let me see.

It must have hurt.

Yi, it must have been really painful.

I'm all right.

Yi, I can't rest at ease

when you're in this state.

Stop worrying about me.

You saw it just now.

Your brother-in-law treats me well.

If he did treat you well,

why would he let you...

By the way, where's Zhan?

Didn't you say

that you would pay respect
to our ancestors together?

We traveled together initially.

But something cropped up,
and his journey was delayed.

He needs to rush back

to report for duty
as an Imperial Insignia Guard.

So he has returned to Ling'an first.

I heard that something
happened to him before this.

I was worried sick.

After that, I knew from your letter

that he had returned safely.

I was only able to rest at ease by then.

But after the incident,

he was practically reborn.

I suppose it was a blessing in disguise.

What's wrong with the carriage?

What's wrong?

Yi, hold tight.

All right.

My Lady!

Catch up to them!

What was that sound?

Turn back and catch up to them.

Coachman!

Watch out!

Si, watch out!

Help!

Coachman!

[Xie Yinlou,
Commandant of Lingshui County]

How are you? Are you both all right?

We're fine.

Are you two hurt?

We're fine.

Come on, Yi.

Yi, are you all right?

I'm fine.

Thank you, mister.

Don't mention it.

My Lady!

Chief!

We're fine.

My Lady, are you all right?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Yinlou, it's you.

Miss Jiang Si.

What brings you to Lingshui?

I came here to visit my sister.

But you,

it's been years since we last met.

Why are you here as well?

You might not know this,

but I've been serving as a commandant

in Lingshui for a few years now.

Thank you, Yinlou.

You saved us just now.

Don't mention it.

Yi, this is Yinlou.

He lived in our mansion

when we were little.

Don't you remember him?

Commandant Xie,
thank you for rescuing us.

Thank you, Mr. Xie and Mr. Yu.

I'm afraid Yi and Si

would've been in danger

had you two not rescued them.

Mr. Zhu, don't mention it.

Commandant Xie, you're
an excellent martial artist.

I'm truly impressed.

You flatter me.

Mr. Yu, you were the one
who turned the tide.

Not only were you skillful,
but you were gutsy too.

You risked your life to rescue them.

I'm truly impressed.

Let's stop flattering each other.

Both of us did great.

Ziyu, since everyone is fine,

we should return to the mansion.

Mr. Xie, I'll remember

your kindness.

I'll visit you another day
to thank you properly.

Farewell.

Yi,

you can return with Ziyu.

Aman and I

will go back with Mr. Yu.

All right. See you later.

Ziyu, look after Yi.

Don't worry about me.

I think the incident

was more than just an accident.

The horse was fine.

How did it suddenly get startled?

I think someone was deliberately

trying to harm my sister.

Harm her?

Yes.

Who do you think is the culprit?

I think it's Madam Zhu.

She was the one

who insisted on making
Yi take this carriage.

In the past, Yi always wrote to me

about the great life she was leading

in the Zhu family.

I had no idea how badly Madam Zhu

had been treating her

until I saw it with my own eyes today.

It breaks my heart
to see her treated this way.

Whoever the culprit is,

I'll stay and help you

uncover the truth before I leave.

All right.

[Jiang]

Mr. Zhan, the time is nearly up.

Zhan, are you practicing
martial arts again?

Come here.

Hurry and come here.

Zhan, you're working so hard.

I can't help but worry about you.

Sit down.

Look at

what I've brought you.

Sit down and take a break.

Have some tea.

Have a cup of tea first
to soothe your throat.

Thank you, Aunt Xiao.

Why are you so courteous?

We're a family. Don't stand on ceremony.

It's different now.

You're truly different now.

Ever since you became
an Imperial Insignia Guard,

you've changed completely.

You've made something of yourself.

This is great.

In the future,

when you join the officialdom,

you and your uncle

can look after each other.

Aunt Xiao.

Uncle Anmou

is a proper official.

I'm just a mere Imperial Insignia Guard.

I can't look after him.

My goodness.

What are you saying?

What do you mean

by a mere Imperial Insignia Guard?

You are now

serving by His Majesty's side.

If you serve His Majesty well,
there's a chance

you could become his personal guard.

Aunt Xiao, seems like
you know that better than me.

Zhan, I'm truly happy to see you

become an Imperial Insignia Guard.

I can tell.

You see, the two branches of the family

do compete with each other

from time to time.

But once we're outside the mansion,

we stand as one,

and our fates are intertwined.

After all, we're all part
of the Jiang family.

Yes

and no.

What do you mean by no?

As a family,

we should stand by each other,

not turn against one another
in times of trouble.

Now that you are
an Imperial Insignia Guard,

the way you speak has changed too.

I'm telling you
to follow your uncle's lead

not just for you to support him.

I'm doing this for your own good too.

You're still young.
You may not know this.

If you become an official

without a strong backer,

it'll be hard for you
to achieve anything.

Aunt Xiao, you're right.

But you see,

as an Imperial Insignia Guard,

I think I should rely on myself

instead of anyone else

so that

I won't end up as a pawn.

Zhan,

if you stay stubborn like this,

you'll suffer a great downfall.

Aunt Xiao, you're totally right.

I have to keep on training.

If not, I'll suffer a downfall.

Let's go. Time to train.

I don't believe

that you'll be lucky forever.

What did you say?

I said you did great in your training.

I'll keep up the good work, then.

You're pretty strong.

seen your dark side before?

He does.

If you truly fancy someone,

[Zhu's Mansion, Lingshui]

Madam, we found the horse.

That useless beast

nearly caused a disaster.

Go and have it slaughtered.

Yes, Madam.

Mother,

it's a living being, after all.

We just prayed to the Tree Deity.

We mustn't take any lives.

Didn't I tell you to slaughter it?

Yes.

Wait.

We haven't investigated the case yet.

Madam Zhu, why are you in a hurry

to slaughter the horse?

What's there to investigate?

The beast just went berserk

for no reason.

It infuriates me.

We won't be using it again anyway.

Why shouldn't we slaughter it?

If I'm not mistaken,

you rented the carriage

that Yi and I had taken, right?

How could I know

that this beast

couldn't even complete

such a small task?

Did you not expect it?

Or are you in a hurry
to get rid of the evidence?

Me?

What do you mean by that?

Tell me, then.

What crime have I committed?

You used the carriage to stage a fall
to m*rder your daughter-in-law.

You!

Mother?

Yi.

I rented the carriage for her
with my own money.

Now, you're saying
that it's evidence of my crime?

Mother-in-law, please be appeased.

Commander Xie

has likely witnessed
too much treachery in the army,

which makes him more suspicious.

That's right, Mother.

Yi would never make such speculations.

Miss Si,

what do you mean by this?

Yi,

do you think I'll harm you?

Fair enough.

I never expected you

to view me

as a vicious mother-in-law.

Yi, don't worry.

Mother.

Miss Jiang.

I, Commandant Yu, and Long Dan

will investigate the coachman.

Thank you, Commandant Xie.

I was truly unlucky.

Not only did I lose a carriage,

but I was also involved
in such an accident.

The coachman came here three days ago.

He didn't sound like a local.

[Xiangfu Carriages]
He said he was a refugee from the west

and he had no family left.

He seemed honest and pitiful,

so I let him work here.

The Zhu family is an esteemed customer.

Why did you let a newcomer serve them?

It was quite a coincidence.

This morning, for some reason,

everyone was having a stomach ache.

He was the only one late.

That's why...

Was this all part of a scheme?

Commandant Xie.

We're fellow villagers.

You know me well.

I'm just

an honest businessman.

Commandant Xie.

Yi,

Madam Zhu has mistreated you.

Why are you
still copying sutras for her?

I've embarrassed my mother-in-law today.

I should take a step back

and smooth things over.

But

do you not suspect her at all?

Although my mother-in-law
doesn't like me,

she doesn't need to resort to...

The incident today

almost cost your life.

We can't just brush it off.

The consequences

would've been dire

had the officers not helped us out.

I'm fine, aren't I?

It was probably just an accident.

Think carefully.

The coachman jumped off the horse

right after it was startled.

I'm afraid it was premeditated.

The coachman doesn't even know me.

Why would he harm me

out of the blue?

Yi,

you're deceiving yourself here.

Madam Zhu

rented the carriage especially for you.

She stopped Ziyu when he wanted

to take the same carriage as you.

Also, she wanted to slaughter the horse
right after the incident.

Enough, Si.

I know you're worried about me.

But you mustn't make

wild accusations like these.

I don't want these speculations

to damage the bond of my family.

You seem like
a completely different person

since coming to Lingshui this time.

In the past,

you were the most cautious
with your words and actions.

But now...

I worry that if you're too outspoken,

it could put you at a disadvantage.

That's not true.

We endured everything subserviently

when we were living in the mansion.

Don't you remember

how the second branch treated us?

I've finally figured it out now.

We have to stand up for ourselves

so that others won't bully us.

It's actually a relief
to see you like this.

This way, I won't have to worry

about how you're doing in the mansion

or whether anyone is mistreating you.

Si, you've truly grown up.

Yi, stop worrying about me.

You need to think about

what happened today.

Show me your hand.

Stop copying the sutras.

I'm fine.

Chief, after Mr. Chu

left the Directorate of Astronomy,

he came to Lingshui.

He's at the restaurant ahead.

What about Mr. Xiao?

He went insane.

He went insane?

Yes.

I heard that he went insane

after leaving his post.

They say he was traumatized

by his wife's passing,

and it's been years now.

All right. Let's meet

the legendary Mr. Chu.

Chief.

The one dozing off on the table

is Mr. Chu.

What are you doing?

Give it back.

Mr. Top Scholar,

how did you end up like this?

There's a universe within this cup.

Back then, you were doing well

in the Directorate of Astronomy.

Why did you transfer

to this small county voluntarily?

My mother was seriously ill.

So I came home
to fulfill my filial duties.

What has this got to do with you?

Let's talk about something
related to me, then.

The 5th day of the 5th month,
in the 3rd year of the Jingming era.

You two...

Who exactly are you?

I don't know anything.

Stop asking me.

Stop asking me.

The Seventh Prince
as the harbinger of misfortune,

were you the one who submitted
the memorial to the throne?

Didn't you say back then that the matter

with the Seventh Prince

was already settled?

You said you would stop cornering me.

Since we're already here,

you have to tell us the truth

by hook or by crook.

I only submitted the memorial.

The rest has nothing to do with me.

Are you trying to drive me to my death?

What more do you want from me?

I don't know anything!

Stop asking me!

Stop asking me!

Stop right there!

I don't know anything!

Chief.

Forget it.

Knowing that is enough.

[Zhu's Mansion]

Are you going to depart soon?

Yi and I are going to pay respect
to our ancestors today.

That's why I'm taking charge
of the carriage.

Commandant Yu, you shouldn't do so.

It's fine.

I'm free anyway.

Well then, thank you, Commandant Yu.

Si.

Yi.

Dear?

Didn't you invite

Scholar Wang and the rest
to a poetry gathering?

I still can't rest at ease

after giving it some thought.

You just had an accident.

How could I be in the mood

to attend a poetry gathering?

I'll man the carriage myself today.

Thank you, Dear.

So you don't need me anymore, right?

Follow us on horseback.

Si,

you and Commandant Yu...

Yi, what are you trying to say?

He looks after you all the time.

He always has
your best interests at heart.

Does he fancy you?

Yi, that's not the case.

Commandant Yu is just worried

that something might happen to us again.

I can tell that he's a good man

after yesterday's incident.

But even if you two do fancy each other,

you still have to obey
our parents' wishes.

Here's a piece of advice.

Romantic relationships

must be handled with proper boundaries.

Help!

Stop right there!

Help!

You wretch!

Stop right there!

Help!

Stop right there!

Help!

Stop right there, you wretch!

We just helped you

bury your father.

And now you are going back on your word?

I beg you. Please spare me.

You wretch.

You agreed to sell yourself
to bury your father.

The three of us

bought you with our money.

Now, you belong to us.

You must serve us

as our wives in turn.

Get her!

Don't come near me!

Come with us!

Long Dan!

Let go of me!

Get up!

[Qing'er]

Miss.

You look like a kind person.

Please save me.

I'm willing to serve you

as repayment.

We bought her

with ten taels.

We still have her indenture with us.

You all...

You all are trying to abduct a girl!

No.

Miss.

I would rather die

than serve them.

Please do a kind deed and help me out.

You can make the call.

Since that's the case,

I...

Wait.

Miss,

did you promise them
you would sell yourself to them

in exchange for their burial service?

Have they

helped you

bury your father?

I... I did make them a promise.

But I can't serve

three husbands at once.

They're hooligans.

Miss, please help me.

Miss.

I'm begging you.

Aman.

I have 20 taels worth of banknotes here.

Give me

her indenture.

It...

What is it?

Aren't 20 taels enough?

Hurry

and give me an answer.

What's with

the glances?

Let's go.

[Xu Qing'er's Indenture]

Miss, here's your indenture.

Keep it safe.

You can leave.

Yi, let's go.

Miss,

I have no way to repay your kindness.

I'll work tirelessly

to serve you.

Miss, if you dismiss me,

I'll have nowhere to go.

If the three hooligans

try to pester me again,

I...

Miss,

we've redeemed

your indenture for you.

Even if you have nowhere to go,

why should we...?

Si, forget it.

She's merely frightened.

Miss, please take me in.

I can do everything.

I just hope that I have

a shelter

and some food to eat.

Miss?

How about this?

Come to the Zhu's Mansion tomorrow.

Thank you, Miss.

Thank you, Miss.

Go.

Investigate them.

Yes, sir.

Yi, we don't know about her background.

She's pitiful.

It's not like we can't feed
another mouth.

This is for the best.

Since you're soft-hearted,
it'll spare you from being put

in a difficult position.

Si.

Are you still angry at me

for taking the girl in?

Yi,

something's definitely off

about Qing'er.

What do you mean?

We haven't finished

investigating the coachman yet.

And now, Qing'er
appeared out of nowhere.

This is too much of a coincidence.

I only did a small favor

to provide her
with a chance to survive.

Since we've rescued her,

we should see it through.

Yi, how could you be sure

that Qing'er wasn't lying to you?

But she has no reason

to deceive me.

Right now, I have no evidence

to prove my speculations.

It'll only irritate you
if I tell you about it.

So I'll keep it to myself.

But Yi,

remember this.

We must always stay cautious.

I understand.

Don't worry.

Before this, I thought
Madam Zhu was the one

trying to harm Yi.

Now, it seems like

this Qing'er is also quite suspicious.

Since Yi is soft-hearted,

I shall protect her.

Hurry and pick them up.

Madam is still waiting for us.

Yes.

We investigated her background.

Qing'er did have a father.

He died seven days ago.

Everyone in the neighborhood knew
that she sold herself off

for the burial service.

As for the three men who bought her,

they were notorious ruffians
of the village.

They vanished

after that day.

But their neighbors also said

that these people

are often away from home

for quite some time.

Don't you think

these people...

Judging from your sister's personality,

it's likely that she'll fulfill her wish

and take her into the mansion.

This action

does seem a bit unnecessary.

I'm just worried
that she might not be content

with being a concubine.

She might be after more.

Yi,

I want to talk to you about something.

But please don't overthink it.

What is it? Just tell me.

How much longer

does your sister plan to stay here?

When will she depart for Ling'an?

Dear, do you not wish for my sister

to live with us?

I already told you not to overthink it.

She's frequently seen

with Commandant Yu,

which could lead to gossip.

Also,

Commandant Xie has feelings

for your sister, right?

The Xie family
is an esteemed family in Lingshui.

If they can form a marriage alliance
with your family,

and he becomes my brother-in-law,

that will be the best.

Lingshui is a small place.

If his family hears about

the gossip,

wouldn't it ruin

your sister's marriage?

Dear, you must be joking.

The Xie family would never form

a marriage alliance with my family.

Commandant Xie has long passed

the age for marriage

but remains unmarried.

Rumor has it

that during his stay
at Count of Dongping's Mansion,

he fell for one of your family's girls.

Commander Xie remains unmarried

because he was delayed
by the three years

of mourning for his parents' passing.

What has this got to do
with my family's girls?

It's fine that other people
are gossiping about it.

But Dear, you mustn't say so.

My family has a strict upbringing
and the girls

have always upheld proper conduct.

All right. It's my bad.

I know that you care about
your family's reputation.

I shouldn't have spoken recklessly
about your sister.

Don't be angry.

Why would I be angry at you?

Si is just feeling anxious

after nearly falling off a cliff

last time,

which is why she's asked
Commandant Yu for help.

Besides,

I've married into Lingshui
for a long time.

This is her first time here.

How could I chase her away?

Yi, you're right.

I was inconsiderate.

In a few days,

it will be the Water Festival,
a special celebration

in Lingshui.

It will be the perfect time

to show Si around.

The Water Festival is a busy time,

and with Mother getting older,

I'll have to trouble you to help out.

Dear, what are you saying?

This is my duty after all.

[Feiniang, Leader of Caiyun Troupe]

So beautiful!

So beautiful!

Their dances are exquisite
and captivating.

Look.

The lead dancer

[Yunshui House, Lingshui]
is Feiniang, who runs the Caiyun Troupe.

This is just a warm-up.

Tonight's Majestic Water Dance

is her signature dance.

I heard that it's very difficult

to hire Caiyun Troupe.

They're very popular.

Yi, you're amazing.

That's right.

Usually, we need
to contact them at least six months

in advance.

Even so, they might not agree to it.

Initially, I didn't expect much.

But Feiniang said

she had an affinity with me.

She made an exception for me
by performing personally.

Yunshui House

is the best place
to enjoy their performance.

I've reserved a spot for you.

It's rare for you to visit Lingshui.

You should watch the performance.

Yi,

you didn't need to look after me.

You've been handling

the preparations

for the Water Festival all this time.

It must have been tough on you.

But Si,

luckily, you're here

to help me out.

Lingshui relies on water
for its livelihood,

and the Water Festival
is the biggest event

in Lingshui.

I just hope

nothing goes wrong tonight.

Madam.

Old Madam is summoning you.

She has urgent matters to discuss.

All right. I'm coming.

Yi, let me accompany you.

No need for that.

You've been

by my side this whole time,

and I know you're worried about me.

But look.

I'm doing just fine, aren't I?

Although my mother-in-law
isn't easygoing,

I'm handling

the Water Festival after all.

She won't put me on the spot today.

You must be careful, then.

Excellent!

What's the matter?

Qing'er

has been working diligently
without causing trouble.

As for Zhu Ziyu,

I didn't notice
anything unusual about him.

Could it be

that I suspected the wrong people?

I know you're worried about your sister.

But being too tense

will only backfire.

Maybe it's better for you
to just relax today.

I'll take care of the rest.

Phoenix Hairpin?

The opening performance tonight

is actually Phoenix Hairpin?

Do you intend

to tell the people of Lingshui

that I'm an evil mother-in-law

who tried to separate you and my son?
