[Follow Your Heart]

[Episode 20]

[Guangyu Hall]

It's early in the morning.

Are you here

to scold me again?

I won't delay your class.

I'll cut to the chase.

Can you sell me

the land deeds to Blossom Beauty

and Yan Nanxing's residence?

So, for my sister-in-law,

you've decided to fight Mother to the end?

Yeah.

Since

you called her your sister-in-law,

you'll help me, right?

Why should I help you?

Suoluo.

I came to your door today.

You can see it

as me begging you.

Begging me?

Then you need to be more sincere.

How sincere do you want me to be?

Yan Nanxing once said

your cooking is great.

It…

It seems you've never cooked for me before.

What do you want to eat?

Braised chicken with bean sprouts.

Rice cakes with dates.

Too complicated.

I don't have enough time today.

Come for the deeds

when my dishes are ready.

I asked for rice cakes with dates

and braised chicken with bean sprouts.

What are these?

Pumpkin cakes.

Millet porridge.

Is this how sincere you are?

Bean sprouts are cold in nature.

The rice cake is made of river rice.

Both of them

are hard to digest.

You've had stomach issues since you were little.

Mother keeps reminding the kitchen

to be careful with your diet.

I know

you're always busy.

But

you should learn to take good care of yourself.

You remember that?

♫ Sit with you at night and listen to the wind ♫

Of course I do.

♫ When the wind flutters, the heart does too ♫

♫ Step by step, no words are spoken ♫

♫ Barged into sight ♫

But these two dishes aren't what I asked for.

You're still not sincere enough.

♫ When did your figure grow hazy? ♫

I didn't cook for you

to get something

♫ And how clear is it? ♫

from you in return.

♫ I don't intend to break your heart ♫

Enjoy the food.

♫ Silently fall into my arms ♫

I'm leaving.

♫ How to put it into words? ♫

Wait.

♫ We're soul mates ♫

♫ Only after I met you ♫

♫ Did I know true love existed ♫

♫ The world is ever-changing ♫

♫ We still remember ♫

♫ To be the stars ♫

♫ That light up each other's worlds ♫

If Mother asks you

♫ Don’t fear the night as dark as ink ♫

how you

got the deeds,

♫ Just take up your pen and sketch ♫

♫ You and I, recognizing each other with our hearts ♫

don't rat me out.

Just make up an excuse.

♫ Waiting for you in the blooming splendor ♫

♫ To pick the colors of spring for me ♫

Rest assured.

♫ Waiting for the starry sky ♫

♫ To offer your dreams to me ♫

Thank you.

♫ I invite you ♫

♫ To hold a place in my heart ♫

♫ Stay together forever ♫

Enjoy the food.

Be careful. It's hot.

♫ Sit with you at night and listen to the wind ♫

♫ When the wind flutters, the heart does too ♫

♫ Step by step, no words are spoken ♫

♫ Barged into sight ♫

♫ When did your figure grow hazy? ♫

♫ And how clear is it? ♫

♫ I don't intend to break your heart ♫

♫ Silently fall into my arms ♫

[No. 4, Taiping Alley, Nanhua District]

What a surprise.

Boss has been staying

at Mr. Jiang's house lately.

What a surprise.

Sai'er has become

Mr. Shang's cook.

What a surprise.

Mr. Jiang and Mr. Shang

have actually made peace.

Yes.

They actually made up.

Strange.

Unbelievable.

Mr. Shang

is such a grumpy man.

Boss.

Don't say that.

Mr. Shang

is just a bit temperamental.

You're defending him?

It figures.

He pays your salary now.

I mean it.

After spending several days

with him,

I think he's cranky

probably because of his nose.

Be confident.

Leave out "probably."

You're so annoying.

Boss.

You're such a great doctor.

You can fix Mr. Shang's nose,

can't you?

Actually,

it's not impossible.

But I always feel that

he's moody

not because of the mask on his face.

Maybe

he has a mask on his heart.

A mask on his heart?

Boss.

They're all packed.

Okay.

This

is for Mrs. Bao.

This

is for Mrs. Zhang.

This

is for Miss Zhang.

Off you go.

Wait.

When delivering them,

you must be careful.

Don't let anyone find out

we're still secretly doing business,

especially the princess.

Go.

Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang.

Are you free tonight?

Why?

I want to tell you something

really important

to you.

What's it?

Can't you say it now?

It's not time yet.

How about

I deliver it for you?

I'll come back early tonight

to cook dinner.

No way.

I promised Mrs. Bao

to give her a massage.

Can you give her a massage?

Then…

Then I'll walk you there.

No.

It's too high-profile.

What if someone sees us?

Alright.

Be back soon.

You too.

Twelve Music House,

Longxin Teahouse,

the Ghost Market, and the Li family's casino.

I've taken back all the artworks on their walls.

Why do you want them?

Have you figured something out?

Secret profiteering.

Yes.

Without exception, these artworks

are all fake.

Fake?

You know what?

The guy who replicated them was quite good at it.

At first glance,

they all seem genuine.

All businesses

and deals,

in the end,

are just ledgers.

In all these ledgers,

artworks have the highest prices.

Especially this painting.

Its price exceeds

the music house's earnings for half a year.

It's so expensive

but was casually hung

in the passage.

Does it make sense?

Then where should it be?

Well, just tell me

how to profit off fake artworks.

First, find a channel

to authenticate these fakes.

Then auction them off at high prices.

Since they're fake,

no one would buy them.

But Li Wufang claimed

to have found secret buyers.

In the end,

find a third party

to buy these fakes back

at low prices.

That way, everything is legit on the books.

And the artworks

can be sold again.

Buy fakes at high prices

to cook the books.

No need to hide the fakes.

What are you muttering about?

Nothing.

Then,

what should we do next?

Next, we should

find the people

who made these fakes,

sold them,

and arranged the deals.

Only by sorting out

how this business works…

Can we prove

that the accounts are fake.

Ms. Yan.

You're mistaken.

Ms. Yan.

I'm not mistaken.

Blossom Beauty has closed down.

It's really hard

to buy your creams again.

Well…

Let's find a place to talk.

Miss.

You're a regular,

but I don't remember you.

I'm ordinary-looking.

It's normal that you don't.

But

I've been thinking about you

and looking for you.

Looking for me?

You used this flyer

to look for someone, right?

So this is what they call

sh**ting fish

in a barrel.

Who are you?

It doesn't matter.

What matters is that

your man messed with me.

I don't have a man.

I'm not married yet.

Ms. Yan, you're lying through your teeth.

Rumor has it that Jiang Xinbai got married.

His bride

was you, right?

I've figured it all out,

or I wouldn't have abducted you.

You're married to Jiang Xinbai,

yet you're looking for another man.

Miss,

you're quite interesting.

I don't know what you're talking about.

What do you want?

Nothing.

I just want Jiang Xinbai here.

I don't know…

I don't know who you are.

But I think you misunderstand.

My relationship with him

isn't what you think it is.

He

He despises me for my humble origins.

I'll be honest with you.

He's long divorced me

with a repudiation letter.

He walked out on me.

You can't lure him here

by taking me hostage.

You can't fool me.

I can see

how much Jiang Xinbai cares for you.

You really misunderstand.

Then…

Let's have a bet.

Why hasn't she come back?

My lord.

You were supposed to pick her up at Mrs. Bao's.

Where is she?

Mrs. Bao said

Ms. Yan left her place

at a quarter to six.

She left so early?

Yes.

Mrs. Bao invited

Ms. Yan to stay for dinner.

But Ms. Yan said

she had an important date tonight

and left.

Something's off.

Go inform Shang Bieli.

Then,

go look for her with other constables.

Quick.

Yes.

I'm on it.

If you don't want her to die,

come to Twelve Music House

by yourself.

Jiang Xinbai!

You finally came.

If I hadn't come,

how could I catch you red-handed?

The Inspection Office is busy

looking for evidence

to charge you with Zornia trafficking.

I didn't expect you

to give me evidence yourself.

Hold on.

Hold on.

Aren't you two a thing?

Aren't you…

Aren't you worried about her?

If she dies,

her death will be honorable

because it's for a righteous cause.

What did I say?

I told you

he'd just let me die.

Jiang Xinbai,

you jerk!

Yan Nanxing,

you've fallen into enemy hands so many times.

I don't have the patience

to save you again.

You…

Do you hear him?

Let me go!

He's toast!

Mr. Li,

I want to remind you

that kidnapping

carries a sentence of 10 years.

m*rder

carries the same sentence as selling Zornia:

decapitation.

Think carefully.

Mr. Jiang,

I'm just kidding

with Ms. Yan.

I-If I let her go now,

it's not

kidnapping, is it?

Yan Nanxing!

You're so good at acting.

I almost got fooled by you two.

Go on.

Keep acting.

Li Wufang.

You asked me to come here.

What do you want?

I want you to return my store.

Will you do it?

I want you

to stop pursuing Zornia.

Will you listen to me?

Since you won't,

one of you

has to die here today.

Either you die,

or she does!

Stop!

Not gonna happen!

Really?

Fine.

Do I have to die

to make you release her?

Yes.

Fine.

Tell me.

How do you want to play?

Mr. Jiang,

you made me lose everything.

First,

I want you to kneel

and apologize to me!

No, Jiang Xinbai.

Jiang Xinbai!

Don't kneel!

Don't kneel!

Will you kneel

or not?

Look.

Jiang Xinbai!

The chief constable of the Inspection Office

actually kneeled down before me

for a woman.

You have no backbone at all.

Now,

beat him.

Beat him to a pulp!

No!

Stop!

Jiang Xinbai!

Stop!

Fight back,

Jiang Xinbai!

Stop!

Yan Nanxing.

Close your eyes.

Don't look.

No!

Get off him!

Go on.

Beat him!

Jiang Xinbai!

Fight back, Jiang Xinbai!

Jiang Xinbai, get up!

Fight back!

Jiang Xinbai!

Fight back, Jiang Xinbai!

Stop beating him!

Stop.

Li Wufang!

Is this all you got?

Fu.

No! No!

No!

No!

No!

Star-crossed lovers.

Don't haunt me

after you die.

Jiang Xinbai.

Are you okay, Jiang Xinbai?

Jiang Xinbai!

Jiang Xinbai!

Jiang Xinbai!

Stop crying.

I'm fine.

Look at you.

You're not fine at all.

Sorry.

It's all my fault.

It's my fault you're injured.

Blame me.

It's all my fault.

It's not your fault.

You just want to find your young sir.

They used your care for him against you.

No.

I want to find Young Sir

to repay his kindness.

I don't feel for him

the way you think.

There's nothing between him and me.

Trust me.

I know.

I trust you.

Yan Nanxing.

There's already a man

who made you feel guilty.

I'll stay safe

so you don't have to worry anymore.

For this alone,

I'll stay alive.

Promise me

to stay safe

and live a long life.

Don't get hurt again.

I won't let you

get hurt again.

No matter what happens,

I'll protect you.

This won't happen again.

Don't cry.

I don't want you to protect me.

I want us to protect each other.

I'll protect you too.

Your face is all wet with tears.

Silly.

Don't cry.

I'm fine.

Father-in-law.

That stupid boy acted on his own

and deserved what he got.

He not only caused you

to be fined a year's salary

but also caused me to be demoted.

At this point,

I think

we have to give up on him.

Although he's not your biological son,

you watched him grow up!

Instead of thinking about

how to defeat Jiang Xinbai,

you want to give up on your boy?

I wish I had other choices.

But they've backed us into a corner.

I don't think

we can help him out.

Jiang Xinbai.

Wait and see.

I'll definitely

make you pay.

[Inspection Office]

[Ten days later]

[Upholding Justice]

You went to the lengths of k*lling

a court official.

Looks like

there are things

you really want to hide from me.

I won't tell you anything.

My grandfather will in no way

let me die.

I'd only die

if I told you something.

You have a point.

But

I can make you wish you were dead.

Do you wonder how it feels?

Maybe Mr. Lu

can keep you alive.

But I

can decide

how you'll live the rest of your life.

Kidnapping and m*rder

carry a minimum sentence of banishment.

I wonder

if there's a place you want to go.

Yazhou is good.

Most of the officials

who committed crimes went there.

Unfortunately,

you're not an official.

I'm afraid

you can't go to Yazhou.

Let me think.

Do you like snow, Mr. Li?

In Youzhou, it snows from June

until April of the next year.

The whole place is snow-white.

Very beautiful.

However,

it's hard to get food

in that remote place.

Lingnan is good too.

It's always summer there.

Unfortunately,

the air is toxic,

and pests like snakes, bugs, and rats

are everywhere.

Qixi is a choice too.

The desert there is magnificent.

It's just too far away.

I heard

many people died of starvation or thirst

on their way there.

Where do you want to go?

Jiang Xinbai.

What do you want to know?

Mr. Li,

I'm very interested in the artworks

you collected.

I can only tell you that

the person who bought them

wasn't me.

Chief Constable Jiang,

it's too bitter for you?

Drink it if you want.

I have no objection.

Gosh, Jiang Xinbai,

did you hurt your head too?

You almost kicked the bucket.

Why cover up for Li Wufang?

That jerk should be sentenced to death,

not banished!

Don't yell.

Can you let me finish the decoction first?

Anyway, I don't agree.

I don't need your approval

to make any decisions.

I don't care.

I saved your a*s.

Thank you.

Why don't you ask

how I, Commander Shang,

found you

at Twelve Music House?

You're not hopelessly stupid

as to overlook what's hiding in plain sight.

Not hopelessly stupid?

Can't you just give me a compliment?

I'm not kidding.

It is…

It is a compliment.

I'm not kidding either.

You can't let Li Wufang off.

But

if this matter gets too much attention,

those scumbags will know

Nanxing is my weakness.

Look at you.

Hopelessly in love.

You got so badly injured.

Yet the clue you got is barely worth it.

How frustrating.

Think positive.

We've also bought time.

It's only two months,

but every extra day matters.

It's okay.

I'm so mad!

I'm so mad!

I have to tear Li Wufang apart

to vent my anger.

I heard that Li Wufang

has been banished to Lingnan.

He got what he deserved.

That was too good for him.

You know what?

He should've been

thrown into remote mountains

to be fed to deadly insects.

He deserved worse than that.

Someone like him

should be fed to poisonous snakes

or torn into pieces.

Right.

Boss.

I've decided

to stay by your side around the clock.

I won't let you face danger again.

No matter what,

Boss,

don't go out

for the time being.

Even if I want to go out,

I can't.

He's grounded me.

Who can ground our boss?

You're staying in willingly, right?

Sai'er.

You know what?

I think you were right.

Shang Bieli

is not as bad as I thought.

He came to our rescue this time.

How do you think

I can thank him?

Boss.

If you want

to thank Mr. Shang,

why don't you

fix his nose?

Will he let me?

He will.

Why?

Sai'er.

What are you up to this time?

[Jingsheng Hall]

Why are you here?

Where's the butler?

You're not supposed to do this.

I volunteered.

You let me freeload at your house

and pay me a salary.

I should do more work.

Mr. Shang.

Enjoy your bath.

I don't mind it.

But…

you're a girl after all.

It's not convenient.

You may leave.

No.

If I leave,

who will add hot water for you?

H-How about this?

Mr. Shang, don't worry.

I swear not to peek.

I'll be behind the curtain.

Call me if you need anything.

Enjoy your bath.

You…

Mr. Shang.

Don't you take off your mask

when you take a bath?

I once saw you

wearing it when sleeping.

Isn't it hard to breathe?

I'm used to it.

When I took off my mask last time,

were you scared?

No.

Why would I be scared?

I just felt a bit sorry for you

when I found out later

that you had no sense of smell.

Sorry?

You can't smell things,

so your sense of taste must've been impaired too.

No wonder you ate all the food

I made last time.

Actually, your cooking

is not bad.

Thank you, Mr. Shang.

Mr. Shang.

This is the best-selling sachet

at Blossom Beauty.

It smells great.

You can't smell it,

but I still think you can give it a try.

How does it smell?

It smells like…

It smells like gardenias

and cypress.

I wish I could smell it.

Do you mean it?

Mr. Shang,

my boss can treat facial injuries.

She can fix your nose.

You also think my nose is a problem?

No, no.

Don't get me wrong.

I…

I just want you to be able

to smell this world again.

Think about it.

After your nose is fixed,

you'll be able to smell

fragrant flowers

and delicious foods.

Isn't that great?

But no one's life

is perfect.

Thank you.

I'll just live with it.

Live with it?

How can you live with it?

You'll have regrets, Mr. Shang.

Mr. Shang.

I'll be honest with you.

Don't be mad.

It's not just for your sense of smell.

Actually, I also want to see

what you look like with a nose.

Mr. Shang?

Mr. Shang?

Mr. Shang!

Come in and help me.

He's out!

Hurry up, Boss.

He may wake up soon.

How much knockout drug did you use?

I put two taels of it

in the sachet.

Two taels?

That's enough to knock out a tiger.

He may sleep for two days straight.

Mr. Shang is stronger

and fiercer than a tiger.

Since you know he's fierce,

why did you do this?

You want me dead?

Boss, I assure you,

he wants this.

Please.

Hurry up.

I need to work tomorrow.

Dr. Yan, just do it.

Who are you two to rush me?

You're injured.

Why are you here?

And you.

Who invited you?

Be quiet.

You're not helping.

Dr. Yan.

Bieli lost his nose

partly because of me.

It's the regret of his life

and mine.

I hope he can find

his old self.

Boss, Boss.

His hand is moving.

Hurry up!

Hurry up.

Leave it to me.
