00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:10.360 align:center
If the household only spends without bringing in income,

00:00:10.360 --> 00:00:12.920 align:center
no matter how deep our reserves, they'll eventually run dry.

00:00:12.920 --> 00:00:18.000 align:center
So, my mother went to ask my grandfather to secure a position for His Lordship at the Warden's Office of the Five Wards,

00:00:18.000 --> 00:00:20.680 align:center
as the Deputy Commander of the North City Patrol.

00:00:23.320 --> 00:00:25.680 align:center
Here's his appointment letter.

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:31.080 align:center
I was planning to share this good news with you and His Lordship together.

00:00:35.640 --> 00:00:37.480 align:center
That's more like it.

00:00:37.480 --> 00:00:39.880 align:center
Bear in mind that a wife's biggest contribution

00:00:39.880 --> 00:00:44.600 align:center
is to help with her husband's political career.

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:46.400 align:center
Got it?

00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:51.880 align:center
By right, His Lordship should collect the letter of appointment at the Ministry of Personnel himself.

00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:53.920 align:center
But since my grandfather has taken it,

00:00:53.920 --> 00:00:59.360 align:center
he just needs to meet up with the ministry's officer to start the job.

00:00:59.360 --> 00:01:00.760 align:center
Okay.

00:01:00.760 --> 00:01:05.640 align:center
See to it that he's reminded about this.

00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:07.800 align:center
Okay.

00:01:11.880 --> 00:01:14.440 align:center
My Lord, the weather is clearing up.

00:01:14.440 --> 00:01:17.320 align:center
Why are you in a rush to pack your paintings?

00:01:18.200 --> 00:01:20.600 align:center
Brother Youming and I are going to Jiaozhou to paint.

00:01:20.600 --> 00:01:23.680 align:center
What? You're going on a trip? This won't do.

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:25.040 align:center
Grandfather has set things up with the Ministry of Personnel.

00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.240 align:center
You have to meet the officer no matter what.

00:01:28.240 --> 00:01:31.760 align:center
I'll meet them when I get back.

00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:33.560 align:center
I'm leaving now.

00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:35.800 align:center
My Lord.

00:01:35.800 --> 00:01:37.640 align:center
Aren't you going to ask me what it is about?

00:01:37.640 --> 00:01:40.760 align:center
Grandfather has arranged an official position for you at the Warden's Office of the Five Wards.

00:01:40.760 --> 00:01:42.680 align:center
He's leaving for Liaodong soon.

00:01:42.680 --> 00:01:45.360 align:center
You have to meet them and make it official.

00:01:45.360 --> 00:01:47.120 align:center
Ming'er.

00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:51.600 align:center
I promised to go outdoor painting with him.

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:54.640 align:center
I'll be breaking my promise if I don't go.

00:01:54.640 --> 00:01:56.960 align:center
Let's talk about it when I get back.

00:01:56.960 --> 00:01:59.040 align:center
My Lord! My Lord!

00:01:59.040 --> 00:02:01.760 align:center
Your sister is hoping things will go well for you from here on.

00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:04.240 align:center
She's going to nag me if you decline this job.

00:02:04.240 --> 00:02:06.200 align:center
Let her nag.

00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.040 align:center
I'm better off not holding the position of a greedy officer.

00:02:10.320 --> 00:02:11.400 align:center
My Lord!

00:02:11.400 --> 00:02:13.880 align:center
My mother begged my grandfather for days for this position.

00:02:13.880 --> 00:02:15.440 align:center
Ming'er,

00:02:15.440 --> 00:02:20.000 align:center
don't you know that I despise such positions and fame?

00:02:20.920 --> 00:02:24.000 align:center
Must you turn me into the person I despise the most?

00:02:29.200 --> 00:02:31.120 align:center
My Lord!

00:02:57.920 --> 00:03:00.000 align:center
[Yizhi Hall]

00:03:17.720 --> 00:03:20.160 align:center
You've been checking the ledgers for days.

00:03:20.160 --> 00:03:23.080 align:center
Get some rest, my dear wife. Let me help you.

00:03:24.160 --> 00:03:25.880 align:center
Are you sure?

00:03:32.480 --> 00:03:33.800 align:center
Table of contents?

00:03:33.800 --> 00:03:35.560 align:center
This is the table of contents for my ledger.

00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:38.320 align:center
My ledgers are over there.

00:03:42.360 --> 00:03:44.360 align:center
That many?

00:03:46.480 --> 00:03:49.720 align:center
How did you manage to go unnoticed?

00:03:51.240 --> 00:03:55.160 align:center
Do you know Mr. Zhao Ning?

00:03:55.160 --> 00:03:58.840 align:center
Of course. Mr. Zhao Ning has businesses all over the capital.

00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:01.040 align:center
Everyone knows that.

00:04:01.040 --> 00:04:05.440 align:center
Mr. Zhao Ning may have a name, businesses, and a birthplace,

00:04:05.440 --> 00:04:08.720 align:center
but he doesn't exist.

00:04:08.720 --> 00:04:10.720 align:center
How do you know?

00:04:14.480 --> 00:04:17.360 align:center
Could he be you?

00:04:20.400 --> 00:04:23.560 align:center
I have too many businesses but no one to depend on.

00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.600 align:center
In order to deceive others,

00:04:26.600 --> 00:04:30.360 align:center
I had my businesses registered under the name, "Mr. Zhao Ning"

00:04:30.360 --> 00:04:34.760 align:center
so that they wouldn't find out about me no matter what.

00:04:36.840 --> 00:04:40.600 align:center
When Wang Yingxue married into my family, and my mother passed away,

00:04:40.600 --> 00:04:42.840 align:center
my grandmother asked both my family

00:04:42.840 --> 00:04:45.800 align:center
and the Wang family to each give me 3,000 taels for my sake.

00:04:45.800 --> 00:04:49.600 align:center
After that, I moved to the farm to live with her.

00:04:49.600 --> 00:04:53.240 align:center
But then I thought, I can't just live idly and spend all my money.

00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.280 align:center
So I invested in the sea market in Futing.

00:04:56.280 --> 00:04:59.360 align:center
Thanks to the Duke of Ding's army for exterminating the pirates,

00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:04.320 align:center
my businesses have been blessed since then.

00:05:07.560 --> 00:05:09.600 align:center
What's the matter?

00:05:09.600 --> 00:05:12.240 align:center
The happier you are as you speak,

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:16.800 align:center
the more it pains me for not being by your side sooner.

00:05:18.600 --> 00:05:23.920 align:center
You grew up bearing these hardships without anyone to help you or rely on.

00:05:23.920 --> 00:05:28.360 align:center
When we first met, I was even unkind to you.

00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:29.960 align:center
I deserve a beating.

00:05:33.040 --> 00:05:34.240 align:center
Owe me for now.

00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:35.680 align:center
I'll put it in the ledger.

00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:37.600 align:center
Right away.

00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:39.000 align:center
Sure.

00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:52.040 align:center
You don't have to write with your right hand anymore.

00:05:52.600 --> 00:05:54.640 align:center
Go back to using your left hand.

00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:59.640 align:center
From now on, just act casually at Yizhi Hall.

00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:04.400 align:center
You're too sweet.

00:06:04.400 --> 00:06:07.600 align:center
I wonder how I can repay your kindness.

00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:12.560 align:center
Why don't I give half of my wealth to you?

00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:14.080 align:center
No way.

00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:16.360 align:center
Now that your father finally has started to like me,

00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.720 align:center
he might turn hostile if you give half of your businesses to me.

00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:29.680 align:center
Let me make calming soup for you.

00:06:29.680 --> 00:06:31.520 align:center
Come back soon.

00:07:13.440 --> 00:07:20.200 align:center
♫ I wish to be like the moon hidden in the sea,
like a butterfly in love with the flowers ♫

00:07:20.200 --> 00:07:26.240 align:center
♫ Like a thousand inksticks fading into my heartstrings, blurring my longing ♫

00:07:26.240 --> 00:07:33.960 align:center
♫ Like the sun waiting for flying geese, the golden spears chasing long whips ♫

00:07:33.960 --> 00:07:40.800 align:center
♫ I will never tire of fighting because you are thinking of me ♫

00:07:55.960 --> 00:07:58.640 align:center
- Good morning, Lord Song.
- Morning.

00:07:58.640 --> 00:08:00.320 align:center
Don't enter.

00:08:00.320 --> 00:08:02.320 align:center
Shougu...

00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:10.200 align:center
She was exhausted last night. Let her sleep in.

00:08:10.200 --> 00:08:12.920 align:center
- Okay, Lord Song.
- Let's go.

00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:16.120 align:center
Also, tell the kitchen to make black chicken soup with donkey hide gelatin,

00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:20.200 align:center
and pigeon soup with asiabell root to replenish her body.

00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:23.840 align:center
- Okay, Lord Song.
- Okay, Lord Song.

00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:26.760 align:center
Did they...

00:08:26.760 --> 00:08:29.080 align:center
- Is there anything else, Lord Song?
- Is there anything else, Lord Song?

00:08:29.640 --> 00:08:31.280 align:center
The bed got dirty last night.

00:08:31.280 --> 00:08:34.200 align:center
After Shougu wakes up, change the sheets.

00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.360 align:center
- Okay, Lord Song.
- Okay, Lord Song.

00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:41.200 align:center
We're going to have a young master soon.

00:08:52.120 --> 00:08:54.720 align:center
Madam, we've changed the sheets.

00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:56.520 align:center
We'll dismiss ourselves.

00:08:56.520 --> 00:08:58.320 align:center
Okay.

00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:07.880 align:center
Why didn't you wake me up earlier?

00:09:07.880 --> 00:09:12.480 align:center
His Grace told us not to disturb you, Madam, and let you sleep in.

00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.080 align:center
That is inappropriate.

00:09:14.080 --> 00:09:16.960 align:center
I have to check all the ledgers.

00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:19.440 align:center
Besides, we're at Yizhi Hall.

00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:22.920 align:center
If word goes out, people will spread rumors.

00:09:22.920 --> 00:09:28.000 align:center
Given how close you two are now, Madam, you don't have to worry about that.

00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:32.320 align:center
She's smart, too.

00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:34.240 align:center
They're a perfect match.

00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:36.320 align:center
Look at all her dowry.

00:09:36.320 --> 00:09:38.840 align:center
There's nothing like this before in the capital.

00:09:38.840 --> 00:09:42.160 align:center
That explains why His Grace respects his wife so much.

00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:46.440 align:center
I heard that His Grace and his wife were busy all night.

00:09:46.440 --> 00:09:50.560 align:center
The candle in their room stayed lit until almost daybreak.

00:10:00.360 --> 00:10:02.120 align:center
The soup is ready, Madam.

00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:03.920 align:center
Soup?

00:10:04.600 --> 00:10:06.800 align:center
Black chicken soup with donkey-hide gelatin.

00:10:08.000 --> 00:10:11.000 align:center
Pigeon soup with asiabell root.

00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:13.080 align:center
Lord Song told them to make these.

00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:17.240 align:center
He also told them to change the sheets and wash them separately.

00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:18.600 align:center
Why?

00:10:18.600 --> 00:10:22.960 align:center
The servants are telling each other that you and Lord Song love each other very much.

00:10:22.960 --> 00:10:25.720 align:center
We'll probably be welcoming a young master soon.

00:10:25.720 --> 00:10:27.120 align:center
What?

00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:31.520 align:center
I... I... I was tired from checking the ledgers last night.

00:10:31.520 --> 00:10:33.600 align:center
As for the bed sheet...

00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:36.040 align:center
Even I don't know what he's trying to do.

00:10:37.600 --> 00:10:39.640 align:center
Song Yantang is ruining my reputation.

00:10:39.640 --> 00:10:42.880 align:center
Young Lady Zhao, you're officially His Grace's wife.

00:10:42.880 --> 00:10:44.600 align:center
How can you call that ruining your reputation?

00:10:44.600 --> 00:10:47.240 align:center
But we... we were just checking the ledgers.

00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:49.720 align:center
- That's it.
- I understand.

00:10:49.720 --> 00:10:54.360 align:center
When you and His Grace check the ledgers again, we definitely won't disturb you.

00:10:54.360 --> 00:10:56.360 align:center
Checking the ledgers was just checking the ledgers!

00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.440 align:center
That... This doesn't mean anything else.

00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:02.720 align:center
Madam, it'll get worse the more you try to explain.

00:11:02.720 --> 00:11:08.480 align:center
I see. So checking the ledgers actually means beauty with red sleeves and bedroom etiquette.

00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:09.720 align:center
What's that about?

00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:12.360 align:center
You're getting more brazen, aren't you?

00:11:12.360 --> 00:11:14.640 align:center
My fault! My fault!

00:11:16.560 --> 00:11:19.360 align:center
What are you talking about? You seem so happy.

00:11:21.120 --> 00:11:22.920 align:center
Have a seat.

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:26.360 align:center
Su Lan.

00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:28.360 align:center
Serve the soup to Lord Song.

00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:30.080 align:center
Okay.

00:11:40.520 --> 00:11:42.440 align:center
Another bowl.

00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.840 align:center
One more.

00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:18.480 align:center
- Wife.
- Despite your busy schedule,

00:12:18.480 --> 00:12:20.960 align:center
you didn't forget to tell the servants to make the soup this morning

00:12:20.960 --> 00:12:23.840 align:center
and had the time to care about housekeeping.

00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:27.480 align:center
Such good intentions must be rewarded with this soup.

00:12:27.480 --> 00:12:29.600 align:center
Have another bowl.

00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:31.200 align:center
No, thanks.

00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:32.960 align:center
Come on.

00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:34.000 align:center
Serve it.

00:12:34.000 --> 00:12:35.600 align:center
Okay.

00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:40.760 align:center
Here.

00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:44.840 align:center
Next time, tell them to control the amount.

00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:53.480 align:center
His Lordship didn't report to the office?

00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:55.000 align:center
He's out for a trip.

00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.760 align:center
His wife even packed his clothes for him.

00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:02.480 align:center
Get Dou Ming here.

00:13:02.480 --> 00:13:04.200 align:center
Okay.

00:13:08.720 --> 00:13:10.640 align:center
Sister-in-law.

00:13:10.640 --> 00:13:13.880 align:center
Tell me what's going on.

00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:17.320 align:center
His Lordship is too stubborn.

00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:19.960 align:center
Please help persuade him.

00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:21.720 align:center
You can't even control your own man.

00:13:21.720 --> 00:13:24.000 align:center
What kind of mistress are you?

00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:27.600 align:center
You can't make money or help your husband.

00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:32.480 align:center
Now tell me, what do we need you as our daughter-in-law for?

00:13:32.480 --> 00:13:36.720 align:center
A family's prosperity depends on the mistress.

00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:42.120 align:center
Look at Dou Zhao bringing boxes and boxes of treasure to the Duke of Ying's residence.

00:13:42.120 --> 00:13:44.080 align:center
Now look at you.

00:13:44.080 --> 00:13:47.160 align:center
You call yourself the mistress of the family?

00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.640 align:center
Well, a crooked stick will have a crooked shadow.

00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:54.640 align:center
You're just like your mother.

00:13:54.640 --> 00:13:55.840 align:center
Sister-in-law,

00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:59.320 align:center
you may criticize me, but leave my mother alone.

00:13:59.320 --> 00:14:05.000 align:center
After all the bad things she's done, I'm not allowed to criticize her?

00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:11.080 align:center
I bet you learned to talk back from your mother, too.

00:14:11.080 --> 00:14:17.920 align:center
From today on, you shall learn some manners from me.

00:14:19.240 --> 00:14:21.080 align:center
His Lordship isn't home.

00:14:21.080 --> 00:14:24.360 align:center
Let's wait until he's back to talk about rules and manners.

00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:25.520 align:center
What?

00:14:25.520 --> 00:14:30.120 align:center
Have I, the Duchess of Jing, no right to teach you manners?

00:14:30.120 --> 00:14:34.840 align:center
My Lady, you may speak up about your dissatisfaction, but why are you picking on—

00:14:34.840 --> 00:14:36.480 align:center
Who are you to speak?

00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:37.760 align:center
How could you hit her?

00:14:37.760 --> 00:14:40.600 align:center
I can hit that dog of yours when I like it.

00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:48.320 align:center
As the daughter-in-law of the Wei family, you must follow our rules.

00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:54.440 align:center
Nanny Zhou,

00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.320 align:center
how are you feeling?

00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:00.320 align:center
I'm fine because you're being considerate.

00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:04.520 align:center
But you, My Lady, you have to greet her every morning.

00:15:04.520 --> 00:15:07.520 align:center
You're going to suffer.

00:15:07.520 --> 00:15:12.200 align:center
Let Wen Xiang follow me during the daily greeting after this.

00:15:12.200 --> 00:15:14.120 align:center
I don't want to annoy Sister-in-law.

00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:17.760 align:center
How can a married daughter set up rules in her natal family?

00:15:17.760 --> 00:15:21.720 align:center
I bet the Duchess of Jing is just taking advantage of Marquis Wei's absence

00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:25.840 align:center
to pick on you because life isn't going well for her.

00:15:25.840 --> 00:15:27.960 align:center
It's okay.

00:15:27.960 --> 00:15:29.760 align:center
I can take it.

00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:44.480 align:center
The abacus has been making noises for days.

00:15:44.480 --> 00:15:47.920 align:center
I even hear this annoying sound in my dream.

00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.440 align:center
When will it stop?

00:15:51.440 --> 00:15:53.360 align:center
What is it now?

00:15:56.040 --> 00:15:57.480 align:center
What brings you here?

00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:00.640 align:center
I heard Yantang's wife is pregnant.

00:16:00.640 --> 00:16:02.440 align:center
What are you talking about?

00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:04.240 align:center
They've only been married for a few days.

00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:06.520 align:center
But the imperial physician has taken her pulse.

00:16:06.520 --> 00:16:08.400 align:center
It's said that she's carrying a pigeon pair.

00:16:08.400 --> 00:16:10.000 align:center
Exactly.

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.840 align:center
- Who said that?
- The second aunt of the third son

00:16:12.840 --> 00:16:18.240 align:center
of the nanny of Physician Li who works at the Imperial Medical Bureau, of course.

00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:22.680 align:center
Lu Zheng!

00:16:22.680 --> 00:16:24.280 align:center
Somebody!

00:16:24.280 --> 00:16:26.520 align:center
Get Steward Lu here.

00:16:26.520 --> 00:16:27.920 align:center
It's true.

00:16:27.920 --> 00:16:29.880 align:center
The entire Fourth Alley...

00:16:29.880 --> 00:16:36.720 align:center
No. Half of the capital is saying that His Grace and his wife are so much in love.

00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:41.000 align:center
He tells the kitchen to make soup for her as daily replenishment.

00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:42.880 align:center
They say...

00:16:45.560 --> 00:16:47.160 align:center
What did they say?

00:16:47.160 --> 00:16:51.760 align:center
They say that the Duke of Ying's residence will have a baby soon.

00:16:52.520 --> 00:16:53.760 align:center
Idiot!

00:16:53.760 --> 00:16:55.000 align:center
Please cease from anger, Duke.

00:16:55.000 --> 00:16:59.480 align:center
I told you to ask about the money, yet all you got is hearsay?

00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:01.480 align:center
It's not completely hearsay.

00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:02.720 align:center
Think about it.

00:17:02.720 --> 00:17:05.920 align:center
If His Grace's wife gives birth to a son,

00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.000 align:center
things are going to get worse for Second Master.

00:17:09.000 --> 00:17:10.760 align:center
Get lost.

00:17:10.760 --> 00:17:11.880 align:center
Out.

00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:13.880 align:center
Out, now.

00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:17.000 align:center
Come back.

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:28.680 align:center
The matchmaker was so certain that Dou Zhao was just some aggressive and vulgar village woman.

00:17:28.680 --> 00:17:32.960 align:center
But now, her background appears to be fishy.

00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:35.640 align:center
Investigate thoroughly again.

00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:39.280 align:center
Find out about her.

00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:41.960 align:center
Yes, Duke.

00:17:44.680 --> 00:17:46.160 align:center
[Tea]

00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:47.880 align:center
Dou Zhao is the richest person in Zhending Farm.

00:17:47.880 --> 00:17:50.560 align:center
She owns a lot of businesses and is really rich.

00:17:50.560 --> 00:17:52.840 align:center
- Exactly.
- No way.

00:17:52.840 --> 00:17:55.920 align:center
You said the other day that Dou Zhao lost all her money

00:17:55.920 --> 00:17:58.080 align:center
and had handed all her businesses over to her stepmother.

00:17:58.080 --> 00:17:59.480 align:center
You heard it wrong.

00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.480 align:center
Handing it over to her stepmother is what will make her suffer losses.

00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:05.040 align:center
On her wedding day,

00:18:05.040 --> 00:18:09.080 align:center
Fourth Young Lady had ten miles of dowry and gave out red packets.

00:18:09.080 --> 00:18:14.920 align:center
It was grander than the weddings of the rich noble young ladies in the capital.

00:18:14.920 --> 00:18:20.480 align:center
Everyone in Zhending knows that Young Lady Zhao is honest and kind.

00:18:20.480 --> 00:18:22.680 align:center
One year, there was a downpour in Zhending.

00:18:22.680 --> 00:18:27.440 align:center
If Fourth Young Lady Dou hadn't waived part of the rent,

00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:30.880 align:center
many families wouldn't have been able to make it, and would have had to sell their children.

00:18:30.880 --> 00:18:33.600 align:center
You said she was a vulgar woman.

00:18:33.600 --> 00:18:35.560 align:center
And you said she was an ingrate.

00:18:35.560 --> 00:18:37.720 align:center
You heard wrong.

00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:39.960 align:center
The one who's vulgar and an ingrate is her stepmother.

00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:43.680 align:center
Fourth Young Lady Dou is well-mannered and fulfilled her father's duty as a son.

00:18:43.680 --> 00:18:45.640 align:center
Everyone around here knows that.

00:18:45.640 --> 00:18:51.240 align:center
Young master of the Pang family dressed as a robber to make Fourth Young Lady marry him.

00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:53.480 align:center
Such a rascal craving for what he's unworthy of.

00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:58.480 align:center
Didn't Fourth Young Lady try to force Young Master Pang to marry her?

00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:00.400 align:center
It's the other way round.

00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:05.040 align:center
No. Fourth Young Lady Dou is an upright and generous person.

00:19:05.040 --> 00:19:08.640 align:center
- Everyone around here has received favors from her.
- That's right.

00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.680 align:center
Yet Young Master Pang had the audacity to bring the matter to court?

00:19:12.680 --> 00:19:15.640 align:center
But he ended up getting beaten instead.

00:19:15.640 --> 00:19:17.640 align:center
There's no mistake about it.

00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:23.840 align:center
I see. All of you tricked me.

00:19:23.840 --> 00:19:25.520 align:center
No.

00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:31.720 align:center
Who are these disgusting people?

00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:35.280 align:center
You were asking about Fourth Young Lady Dou.

00:19:35.280 --> 00:19:38.160 align:center
We're from the Duke of Ying's residence.

00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:41.800 align:center
Who are you? How dare you kidnap me.

00:19:41.800 --> 00:19:45.080 align:center
How dare you pretend to be the Duke of Ying's residence's servant.

00:19:45.080 --> 00:19:46.800 align:center
Hit his face.

00:19:48.600 --> 00:19:50.360 align:center
Old Madam, please forgive me.

00:19:50.360 --> 00:19:53.800 align:center
I was just following orders, trying to survive.

00:19:53.800 --> 00:19:55.880 align:center
Let me ask again.

00:19:55.880 --> 00:19:58.840 align:center
Are you from the Duke of Ying's residence?

00:19:58.840 --> 00:20:02.000 align:center
Yes, we're from the Duke of Ying's residence.

00:20:02.000 --> 00:20:03.600 align:center
Hit his face.

00:20:07.640 --> 00:20:11.800 align:center
All right. How obstinate.

00:20:13.120 --> 00:20:15.480 align:center
- Drown him.
- Yes.

00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.600 align:center
No. No.

00:20:18.600 --> 00:20:21.720 align:center
I'm not from the Duke of Ying's residence.

00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:26.000 align:center
The Duke of Ying's residence and I are sworn enemies.

00:20:26.000 --> 00:20:29.320 align:center
Now that's the right thing to say. Let him go.

00:20:30.120 --> 00:20:34.240 align:center
You didn't reveal that you were my man, did you?

00:20:34.240 --> 00:20:38.840 align:center
Duke Ying, I'd rather die than obey them,

00:20:38.840 --> 00:20:43.200 align:center
and didn't mention a single word about the Duke of Ying's residence.

00:20:43.200 --> 00:20:48.280 align:center
I said that I'm a matchmaker from afar, and was there to propose a marriage.

00:20:48.280 --> 00:20:51.200 align:center
Is it true that Dou Zhao is the richest person in Zhending?

00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:54.080 align:center
And everyone around Zhending received help from her?

00:20:54.080 --> 00:20:58.840 align:center
It's true. Fourth Young Lady isn't some boorish girl.

00:20:58.840 --> 00:21:01.480 align:center
They were colluding with one another.

00:21:01.480 --> 00:21:07.760 align:center
I had to fight hard to be able to see you again.

00:21:11.520 --> 00:21:13.840 align:center
I was fooled.

00:21:13.840 --> 00:21:18.520 align:center
I never thought that I, the Duke of Ying, would be fooled by this rebellious son.

00:21:18.520 --> 00:21:23.040 align:center
I personally gave this rebellious son a mountain of gold so that he could raise assassins

00:21:23.040 --> 00:21:25.320 align:center
those who'd die for him, buy people off,

00:21:25.320 --> 00:21:30.000 align:center
and train spies with money when he didn't have money to raise them!

00:21:31.360 --> 00:21:35.200 align:center
I have cleaned my neck for this traitor to chop off.

00:21:35.200 --> 00:21:38.480 align:center
Is there anyone more stupid than I am?

00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:40.680 align:center
There isn't.

00:21:40.680 --> 00:21:46.080 align:center
Duke! Somebody, help!

00:21:46.080 --> 00:21:48.240 align:center
[Marquis of Jining Residence]

00:22:01.640 --> 00:22:05.120 align:center
What? Too tired to stand?

00:22:05.120 --> 00:22:07.600 align:center
Do you think you're being treated unfairly?

00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:13.920 align:center
As the mistress of the family, you need to act like one.

00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:16.240 align:center
You should know what you can and cannot do.

00:22:16.240 --> 00:22:19.240 align:center
And it's not up to how you feel.

00:22:20.880 --> 00:22:23.640 align:center
Please forgive me. I didn't mean it.

00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:26.160 align:center
It's obvious that you've been spoiled by Peijin.

00:22:26.160 --> 00:22:30.880 align:center
You couldn't make him stay or accept the position arranged for him.

00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.080 align:center
And now, you couldn't even keep the chopsticks on your head.

00:22:33.080 --> 00:22:35.280 align:center
So, what can you do?

00:22:35.280 --> 00:22:37.400 align:center
Sister-in-law, you're right.

00:22:45.880 --> 00:22:49.440 align:center
My daughter said that you're sick, Duke.

00:22:49.440 --> 00:22:53.320 align:center
I purposely came to check on you.

00:22:53.320 --> 00:22:55.920 align:center
Which part of you is unwell?

00:22:55.920 --> 00:23:01.400 align:center
It's just a minor illness. You shouldn't have troubled yourself.

00:23:03.960 --> 00:23:06.880 align:center
I'm being courteous and polite.

00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:10.320 align:center
Why is he pulling a long face?

00:23:10.320 --> 00:23:15.720 align:center
Was he involved in the plan to have Dou Zhao marry into the Song family?

00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.800 align:center
How much does he know?

00:23:17.800 --> 00:23:22.840 align:center
Could he be the mastermind behind all this?

00:23:23.880 --> 00:23:28.880 align:center
No matter how you threw a temper, His Grace never raised his voice.

00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:31.920 align:center
The hardest part of being filial isn't about obeying,

00:23:31.920 --> 00:23:35.560 align:center
but by remaining calm and gentle.

00:23:35.560 --> 00:23:38.680 align:center
How rare it is.

00:23:39.880 --> 00:23:41.720 align:center
Duke.

00:23:41.720 --> 00:23:43.560 align:center
Allow me.

00:23:46.800 --> 00:23:50.440 align:center
Duke, you must take good care of yourself.

00:23:56.480 --> 00:24:02.200 align:center
You sure are getting along well with that disobedient son of mine.

00:24:02.200 --> 00:24:06.400 align:center
Of course. Yantang is very competent.

00:24:06.400 --> 00:24:10.520 align:center
You should stop working and enjoy life instead.

00:24:10.520 --> 00:24:15.040 align:center
Let Yantang handle all the work.

00:24:15.040 --> 00:24:19.040 align:center
Is he telling me to give up my title?

00:24:19.960 --> 00:24:22.800 align:center
As for Shougu, I know my own daughter.

00:24:22.800 --> 00:24:25.320 align:center
She's a good and sensible girl.

00:24:25.320 --> 00:24:31.600 align:center
She's been preparing your medicine in the kitchen for days.

00:24:36.960 --> 00:24:39.480 align:center
It's okay. No problem.

00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:44.240 align:center
Well... Dear In-law, rest well.

00:24:44.240 --> 00:24:48.920 align:center
Take your medicine regularly so that you recover fast.

00:24:48.920 --> 00:24:52.640 align:center
I'll check on my daughter.

00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:01.520 align:center
Lu Zheng. Where are you, Lu Zheng?

00:25:03.520 --> 00:25:05.840 align:center
Duke, here I am.

00:25:05.840 --> 00:25:09.160 align:center
Has my medicine been prepared by Dou Zhao all this while?

00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:11.240 align:center
Yes. She has medical knowledge.

00:25:11.240 --> 00:25:14.680 align:center
So she's the one who prepared your medicine.

00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:18.840 align:center
Idiot. How can you let her prepare my medicine?

00:25:18.840 --> 00:25:21.160 align:center
Do you want me to die fast?

00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:26.040 align:center
Keep this in mind. From now on, you prepare my medicine.

00:25:26.040 --> 00:25:27.720 align:center
Okay.

00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:29.440 align:center
Come back here.

00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:35.800 align:center
Throw away all the herbal medicines and buy new ones.

00:25:35.800 --> 00:25:37.200 align:center
Okay.

00:25:55.840 --> 00:25:57.640 align:center
Gently.

00:26:06.240 --> 00:26:12.040 align:center
"Percepts for Women" teaches us to be humble, respectful, and virtuous.

00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:17.320 align:center
Nanny Jin, keep an eye on her.

00:26:17.320 --> 00:26:20.960 align:center
If she dares to slack off, teach her a lesson on my behalf.

00:26:20.960 --> 00:26:22.360 align:center
Okay.

00:26:28.560 --> 00:26:30.320 align:center
Stand straight. On the wall.

00:26:30.320 --> 00:26:33.240 align:center
Lift your head. Tighten your stomach.

00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:35.520 align:center
Straighten your legs.

00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:42.800 align:center
"Percepts for Women" teaches us to be humble, respectful, and virtuous.

00:26:59.640 --> 00:27:01.680 align:center
Open your eyes.

00:27:02.840 --> 00:27:05.160 align:center
Stick to the wall.

00:27:05.160 --> 00:27:08.680 align:center
Don't you dare slack off or try anything.

00:27:09.400 --> 00:27:13.440 align:center
My punishment ruler is watching.

00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:21.120 align:center
Madam.

00:27:21.120 --> 00:27:22.960 align:center
What is it?

00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:27.160 align:center
This...

00:27:28.360 --> 00:27:30.480 align:center
Look, Madam.

00:27:38.840 --> 00:27:42.080 align:center
I wouldn't have punished her if I knew she was pregnant.

00:27:42.080 --> 00:27:44.000 align:center
What do I tell Peijin now?

00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:46.240 align:center
That was his first child.

00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:48.880 align:center
Madam, you're not to blame.

00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:51.040 align:center
Dou Ming's nanny takes care of her.

00:27:51.040 --> 00:27:53.160 align:center
Is Nanny Zhou dead or what?

00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:56.960 align:center
Whether she's pregnant or not, I'm sure they know better than you.

00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:00.040 align:center
You're right.

00:28:00.040 --> 00:28:02.400 align:center
Everything I've done is for the family's sake.

00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:03.960 align:center
I didn't do anything wrong.

00:28:03.960 --> 00:28:09.240 align:center
On the other hand, Dou Ming kept quiet about her pregnancy

00:28:09.240 --> 00:28:11.160 align:center
and ended up miscarrying the baby.

00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:13.720 align:center
The flesh and blood of our family.

00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:16.480 align:center
She's horrible.

00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:18.960 align:center
Madam, as kind-hearted as you are,

00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:23.760 align:center
you can't let the Dou family blame it on us, the marquis' residence.

00:28:23.760 --> 00:28:27.080 align:center
You see, it's because you have a soft heart

00:28:27.080 --> 00:28:31.440 align:center
that Fifth Young Lady could marry into the family in Fourth Young Lady's place.

00:28:31.480 --> 00:28:34.680 align:center
I'm the Duchess of Jing.

00:28:34.680 --> 00:28:37.760 align:center
I can't make the same mistake twice.

00:28:37.760 --> 00:28:39.080 align:center
Tell them to prepare a greeting card.

00:28:39.080 --> 00:28:43.440 align:center
I'm going to the Dou's to get an explanation.

00:28:44.080 --> 00:28:51.680 align:center
Madam, it was my negligence that the unborn young master lost his life.

00:28:52.880 --> 00:28:54.880 align:center
It's not your fault.

00:28:55.840 --> 00:28:58.760 align:center
Blame that greedy woman, Wei Tingzhen.

00:28:58.760 --> 00:29:00.960 align:center
She caused this.

00:29:00.960 --> 00:29:05.000 align:center
Now, not only are we unable to fill up the loan shark hole,

00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:08.080 align:center
but we also can't give her the interest as promised.

00:29:08.080 --> 00:29:10.080 align:center
That's why she went out of line.

00:29:10.080 --> 00:29:14.080 align:center
If Dou Zhao hadn't been so nosy and told Master, we would've already filled the hole.

00:29:15.360 --> 00:29:17.160 align:center
This won't do.

00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:21.080 align:center
We need to do something about it.

00:29:21.080 --> 00:29:25.360 align:center
Otherwise, Ming'er is going to suffer.

00:29:25.360 --> 00:29:32.280 align:center
I only made this unwise decision, for Ming'er's happiness.

00:29:32.280 --> 00:29:36.280 align:center
But if we can't pay the debt,

00:29:37.080 --> 00:29:43.280 align:center
besides the greedy woman, the Cangbei Gang won't let us off, either.

00:29:45.880 --> 00:29:50.760 align:center
Your grandmother had these flowers sent to you from the farm?

00:29:51.680 --> 00:29:55.840 align:center
She told me to take good care of them,

00:29:55.840 --> 00:30:00.680 align:center
so that they can grow and bear fruit in the capital.

00:30:00.680 --> 00:30:02.680 align:center
That's so nice of her.

00:30:02.680 --> 00:30:07.080 align:center
I heard His Grace transplanted them for you himself.

00:30:07.080 --> 00:30:11.760 align:center
I'm glad to see how you support each other.

00:30:17.360 --> 00:30:21.760 align:center
Father, did something happen?

00:30:24.080 --> 00:30:30.040 align:center
We were just informed that Ming'er had a miscarriage.

00:30:30.040 --> 00:30:31.880 align:center
What?

00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:40.560 align:center
The good daughter you brought up not only disobeyed her older sister-in-law,

00:30:40.560 --> 00:30:46.080 align:center
but deliberately kept the secret, and harmed the Wei family's descendant.

00:30:47.120 --> 00:30:50.280 align:center
Take her back.

00:30:50.280 --> 00:30:55.080 align:center
We aren't good enough to serve her.

00:30:55.080 --> 00:30:57.160 align:center
Great.

00:30:57.160 --> 00:31:04.080 align:center
I haven't asked you to give an explanation yet but you're blaming me instead. The bad guy is here to complain first.

00:31:04.080 --> 00:31:07.160 align:center
Wei Tingyu accepted the marriage.

00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:12.280 align:center
If he wants to break it off, tell him to do it himself.

00:31:12.280 --> 00:31:17.080 align:center
You wanted to fall out right after I got him a decent job?

00:31:17.080 --> 00:31:21.280 align:center
My brother sent his maids away, for your daughter's sake.

00:31:21.280 --> 00:31:23.560 align:center
Who else in the capital would do that?

00:31:23.560 --> 00:31:27.760 align:center
Do you think I don't know what you're up to?

00:31:27.760 --> 00:31:32.160 align:center
Ming'er lost her baby because of you.

00:31:32.160 --> 00:31:36.880 align:center
Give me an explanation, or we're going to the Office of State Affairs.

00:31:36.880 --> 00:31:38.280 align:center
Fine.

00:31:38.280 --> 00:31:41.280 align:center
Let the magistrate decide justly.

00:31:41.280 --> 00:31:45.880 align:center
The bride who was supposed to be the Fourth Young Lady became the Fifth Young Lady.

00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:48.280 align:center
It was you who had her replaced.

00:31:48.280 --> 00:31:50.480 align:center
Otherwise, would she have had a miscarriage?

00:31:50.480 --> 00:31:56.480 align:center
If it were Dou Zhao, she wouldn't have looked for trouble out of jealousy.

00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:02.160 align:center
Do you remember, Madam Wang, what you owe me?

00:32:04.880 --> 00:32:07.080 align:center
Madam, replacing the bride isn't a serious matter,

00:32:07.080 --> 00:32:10.960 align:center
but the authorities mustn't know about the loan shark.

00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:14.880 align:center
Dou Ming doesn't have what it takes to be the mistress.

00:32:14.880 --> 00:32:19.280 align:center
She argued with the elders and even cruelly using her child to vent her anger.

00:32:19.280 --> 00:32:25.360 align:center
Such a vicious woman will be divorced even if you take this to the Office of State Affairs.

00:32:25.360 --> 00:32:28.880 align:center
- You...
- Your words don't make sense, Duchess of Jing.

00:32:32.120 --> 00:32:35.040 align:center
Why would Ming harm her own child?

00:32:40.160 --> 00:32:44.960 align:center
As a woman yourself, don't you know that a miscarriage is like a serious illness?

00:32:44.960 --> 00:32:47.680 align:center
You may lose your life due to it.

00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:49.680 align:center
My sister and Marquis of Jining just got married.

00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:51.560 align:center
They're still much in love.

00:32:51.560 --> 00:32:54.280 align:center
Why would she want to die?

00:32:56.080 --> 00:32:58.640 align:center
Even wild beasts look after their young.

00:32:58.640 --> 00:33:03.960 align:center
The Marchioness had a miscarriage only because the Duchess of Jing made her stand as a punishment.

00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:05.680 align:center
You sly servant.

00:33:05.680 --> 00:33:07.680 align:center
Who are you to speak?

00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:10.480 align:center
Looks like the Marquis of Jining's residence is too strict.

00:33:10.480 --> 00:33:14.080 align:center
In order to torture the daughter-in-law, they even don’t care about their own flesh and blood.

00:33:14.080 --> 00:33:17.560 align:center
This... This is nonsense.

00:33:17.560 --> 00:33:21.480 align:center
Our family doesn't have many descendants.

00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:23.880 align:center
Dou Ming isn't an illegitimate child either.

00:33:23.880 --> 00:33:27.560 align:center
Why would my brother and I not want the baby?

00:33:27.560 --> 00:33:31.280 align:center
Now that the baby is gone, all you do is blame my sister.

00:33:31.280 --> 00:33:33.680 align:center
Given how pushy you are, Duchess of Jing,

00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:37.480 align:center
people might think you're worried about your descendant,

00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:41.680 align:center
or maybe just taking advantages to humiliate your sister-in-law.

00:33:41.680 --> 00:33:45.480 align:center
We haven't said anything about Dou Ming's miscarriage.

00:33:45.480 --> 00:33:48.480 align:center
Yet you already want to take it to the Office of State Affairs.

00:33:48.480 --> 00:33:51.880 align:center
Well, Magistrate Dai happens to be an old friend of my fifth uncle.

00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:53.960 align:center
Let's have him decide who's right or wrong.

00:33:55.160 --> 00:33:56.760 align:center
- I... No, you...
- Su Lan.

00:33:56.760 --> 00:33:58.880 align:center
- Yes, Young Lady.
- Tell the others.

00:33:58.880 --> 00:34:00.480 align:center
We're going to the Office of State Affairs.

00:34:00.480 --> 00:34:02.360 align:center
Okay.

00:34:02.360 --> 00:34:04.160 align:center
No.

00:34:05.600 --> 00:34:06.880 align:center
Madam.

00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:10.360 align:center
Madam! Get a physician already.

00:34:11.280 --> 00:34:17.080 align:center
Since you're not feeling well, get some rest in the warm room next door.

00:34:17.080 --> 00:34:20.480 align:center
We'll talk later.

00:34:20.480 --> 00:34:22.880 align:center
Madam.

00:34:36.160 --> 00:34:38.880 align:center
They replaced the pearl with the fish eye.

00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:40.880 align:center
Ridiculous.

00:34:46.480 --> 00:34:51.880 align:center
I knew this would happen when Ming'er insisted on marrying him.

00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:54.480 align:center
Ming'er has always been a good girl.

00:34:54.480 --> 00:34:58.880 align:center
She replaced you as the bride and was continuously picked on by her sister-in-law.

00:34:58.880 --> 00:35:01.280 align:center
And now she has had a miscarriage.

00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:05.160 align:center
You're accountable for all this.

00:35:05.160 --> 00:35:10.880 align:center
I came here for the Dou family, and to prevent Father from being heart-broken.

00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:15.960 align:center
If you're going to repay my kindness with ingratitude, I guess I was just nosy.

00:35:16.880 --> 00:35:19.360 align:center
Save your crocodile tears.

00:35:21.680 --> 00:35:23.680 align:center
Let's go.

00:35:23.680 --> 00:35:25.760 align:center
Take Ming'er home.

00:35:52.720 --> 00:35:54.240 align:center
Why are you here?

00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:56.680 align:center
I followed you home.

00:35:56.680 --> 00:35:58.280 align:center
I was really worried at first.

00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:04.080 align:center
But I felt relieved when I saw you could easily win the argument with them.

00:36:04.080 --> 00:36:07.360 align:center
How could I be bullied in my own house?

00:36:07.360 --> 00:36:12.080 align:center
You won't. But I love seeing my darling defeat the enemy.

00:36:15.080 --> 00:36:16.560 align:center
Don't worry.

00:36:16.560 --> 00:36:19.080 align:center
It's just discord between women.

00:36:19.080 --> 00:36:20.880 align:center
I can handle it.

00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:23.560 align:center
This is Wei Tingyu's fault.

00:36:23.560 --> 00:36:25.880 align:center
I already sent someone for him.

00:36:27.880 --> 00:36:32.280 align:center
Yantang, I want to take a look at Dou Ming.

00:36:37.120 --> 00:36:39.640 align:center
Please drink it, Madam.

00:36:39.680 --> 00:36:41.280 align:center
Your health matters the most.

00:36:41.280 --> 00:36:44.280 align:center
- Let me do it.
- Madam Dou.

00:36:50.160 --> 00:36:51.960 align:center
Here you go.

00:36:52.960 --> 00:36:54.640 align:center
What?

00:36:54.680 --> 00:36:59.760 align:center
I have to see your long face after seeing your sister-in-law's?

00:37:00.560 --> 00:37:03.360 align:center
I know what you're going to say, Mother.

00:37:03.360 --> 00:37:05.680 align:center
But please don't.

00:37:06.680 --> 00:37:09.280 align:center
Having a miscarriage is as bad as having a serious illness.

00:37:09.280 --> 00:37:12.880 align:center
A bowl of sweet soup isn't enough to replenish your body.

00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:15.160 align:center
You may not completely heal from it.

00:37:16.080 --> 00:37:19.360 align:center
Ming'er, why don't you come home with me?

00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.080 align:center
I'll take good care of you.

00:37:26.040 --> 00:37:31.200 align:center
You are the only one who treats this poor mansion like a treasure.

00:37:32.160 --> 00:37:35.480 align:center
Ming'er, don't worry.

00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:37.560 align:center
I'm always here to support you.

00:37:37.560 --> 00:37:42.240 align:center
Most importantly, take good care of your body, all right?

00:37:43.160 --> 00:37:44.960 align:center
Mother.

00:37:46.440 --> 00:37:48.240 align:center
Mother.

00:37:55.080 --> 00:37:56.640 align:center
Take the money.

00:37:56.680 --> 00:37:58.280 align:center
Buy tonic for Ming'er.

00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:02.480 align:center
Keep the rest and use it when in need. Remember, don't give all of it to Ming'er.

00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:05.080 align:center
In case that greedy woman takes it.

00:38:05.080 --> 00:38:06.080 align:center
I'll keep that in mind.

00:38:06.080 --> 00:38:09.400 align:center
But Madam, that's the money to pay the debt.

00:38:09.400 --> 00:38:12.240 align:center
If Cangbei Gang doesn't get their money...

00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:13.680 align:center
Exactly.

00:38:13.680 --> 00:38:16.880 align:center
Those ungrateful people might find you and pester you.

00:38:16.880 --> 00:38:18.280 align:center
It'll be troublesome.

00:38:18.280 --> 00:38:19.560 align:center
Use it on Ming'er first.

00:38:19.560 --> 00:38:21.480 align:center
I'll figure something out.

00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:24.360 align:center
[The Marquis of Jining Residence]

00:38:28.560 --> 00:38:31.320 align:center
- Sister.
- Ming'er.

00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:42.280 align:center
This Wei Tingyu is really untrustworthy. He actually hurt you like this.

00:38:42.280 --> 00:38:47.480 align:center
This wouldn't have happened if he hadn't let his sister make decisions at home.

00:38:47.480 --> 00:38:50.280 align:center
I don't blame him.

00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:53.080 align:center
He yearns for the outside world.

00:38:53.080 --> 00:38:57.360 align:center
He feels uncomfortable being trapped here in the house.

00:38:59.080 --> 00:39:04.880 align:center
You told me that he's not a good husband,

00:39:04.880 --> 00:39:08.880 align:center
nor is the Marquis of Jining's residence an ideal home.

00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:14.480 align:center
But I used to think that two people united by heart

00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:20.960 align:center
can live happily together no matter how hard life is.

00:39:22.080 --> 00:39:23.880 align:center
Do you regret it?

00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:29.760 align:center
Get a divorce, Ming'er.

00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:33.680 align:center
This is your best chance to escape this place.

00:39:34.280 --> 00:39:36.480 align:center
Sister,

00:39:36.480 --> 00:39:41.760 align:center
if you and His Grace face this situation one day,

00:39:41.760 --> 00:39:44.280 align:center
what choice would you make?

00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:56.480 align:center
Three horses died on Lu Ming's way to find this jerk in Jiaozhou.

00:39:56.480 --> 00:40:00.080 align:center
Ming'er, it's all my fault.

00:40:00.080 --> 00:40:01.560 align:center
If I hadn't acted on my own,

00:40:01.560 --> 00:40:05.560 align:center
you wouldn't have been punished, and we wouldn't have lost our baby.

00:40:07.880 --> 00:40:09.760 align:center
Wei Tingyu.

00:40:17.880 --> 00:40:20.680 align:center
Ming'er, I'm sorry.

00:40:20.680 --> 00:40:22.160 align:center
I will take office tomorrow.

00:40:22.160 --> 00:40:27.160 align:center
You can punish me in any way you want, as long as you don't get angry and affect your health.

00:40:28.760 --> 00:40:31.080 align:center
Ming'er, it's all my fault.

00:40:31.080 --> 00:40:32.800 align:center
I'm rubbish.

00:40:34.400 --> 00:40:37.240 align:center
It's my fault. I don't deserve to be human.

00:40:37.240 --> 00:40:38.560 align:center
I'm sorry, Ming'er.

00:40:38.560 --> 00:40:40.160 align:center
Please forgive me.

00:40:40.160 --> 00:40:41.880 align:center
Forgive me, Ming'er.

00:40:41.880 --> 00:40:43.680 align:center
I'm sorry.

00:40:43.680 --> 00:40:45.480 align:center
I'm rubbish.

00:40:45.480 --> 00:40:47.160 align:center
Ming'er.

00:40:47.160 --> 00:40:49.840 align:center
I'm sorry, Ming'er.

00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:52.680 align:center
[Divorce Letter]

00:40:52.680 --> 00:40:55.280 align:center
I did you wrong.

00:40:55.280 --> 00:40:57.480 align:center
I did our child wrong.

00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:00.280 align:center
I did our child wrong.

00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:02.680 align:center
I did you wrong.

00:41:04.280 --> 00:41:06.880 align:center
Sir, I'm told to give you this cloak.

00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:09.200 align:center
Please take good care of yourself.

00:41:11.880 --> 00:41:13.440 align:center
Ming'er.

00:41:14.080 --> 00:41:17.080 align:center
Ming'er, how are you doing?

00:41:17.080 --> 00:41:18.560 align:center
I did you wrong.

00:41:18.560 --> 00:41:20.880 align:center
I also did our child wrong.

00:41:26.560 --> 00:41:27.760 align:center
I don't want a divorce.

00:41:27.760 --> 00:41:29.560 align:center
I'm sorry, Ming'er.

00:41:29.560 --> 00:41:30.680 align:center
I don't want a divorce.

00:41:30.680 --> 00:41:32.680 align:center
I'm sorry. Hit me.

00:41:32.680 --> 00:41:34.280 align:center
- Just hit me. I'm sorry.
- Peijin.

00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:36.080 align:center
Peijin.

00:41:36.080 --> 00:41:40.760 align:center
Every time you hit yourself, it gives me pain.

00:41:41.880 --> 00:41:46.560 align:center
Knowing you love and still care about me is more than I can ask.

00:41:46.560 --> 00:41:48.360 align:center
But...

00:41:50.040 --> 00:41:53.480 align:center
I can't stand one more minute in this house.

00:41:56.280 --> 00:41:59.360 align:center
No. It's not you who can't stay.

00:41:59.360 --> 00:42:03.680 align:center
Someone needs to make a clean break with the family.

00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:09.480 align:center
Ming'er, wait for me.

00:42:12.880 --> 00:42:15.960 align:center
Peijin. Peijin!

00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:40.280 align:center
This is like taking advantage of herwhen she's drunk.

00:42:40.280 --> 00:42:41.560 align:center
Yan Tang.

00:42:41.560 --> 00:42:44.960 align:center
Actually, I'm not drunk.
