= Love Like the Galaxy=

00:01:30.220 --> 00:01:33.940
=Episode 2=

00:01:46.580 --> 00:01:47.410
Young Master,

00:01:47.530 --> 00:01:49.020
His Majesty won't reprimand you

00:01:49.020 --> 00:01:50.810
for investigating the case without
notifying him, right?

00:01:51.250 --> 00:01:52.410
Why would His Majesty do so?

00:01:52.660 --> 00:01:54.890
Young Master is
His Majesty's foster son.

00:01:54.890 --> 00:01:56.130
How could His Majesty
bear to reprimand him?

00:01:57.660 --> 00:01:58.340
Young Master,

00:01:58.410 --> 00:02:00.530
didn't His Majesty grant you a pass

00:02:00.660 --> 00:02:02.660
so that we could search
the house of any person

00:02:02.660 --> 00:02:03.570
and do whatever we want?

00:02:03.690 --> 00:02:04.940
Silence.

00:02:09.010 --> 00:02:10.460
Did His Majesty grant you
the pass or not?

00:02:10.570 --> 00:02:12.060
You think we're still
on the battlefield?

00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:13.410
Violence is the only thing you know.

00:02:14.290 --> 00:02:15.570
Now that we've returned victorious,

00:02:15.730 --> 00:02:17.220
His Majesty said our merit was enough
to cover up for our crime.

00:02:18.460 --> 00:02:19.850
However, regarding the armament case,

00:02:20.530 --> 00:02:22.970
His Majesty wants us
to stop the investigation for now.

00:02:24.410 --> 00:02:26.690
So, are we going to
stop investigating then?

00:02:31.010 --> 00:02:32.660
When have I said so?

00:02:32.900 --> 00:02:35.660
The armament theft has been
troubling me for many years.

00:02:35.810 --> 00:02:36.780
We cannot stop our investigation.

00:02:40.290 --> 00:02:42.130
But, didn't His Majesty tell us to stop?

00:02:42.380 --> 00:02:43.530
You're such an idiot.

00:02:59.010 --> 00:02:59.850
Young Master,

00:03:00.010 --> 00:03:01.380
we've arrived at
Marquis Chengyang's Residence.

00:03:02.100 --> 00:03:03.290
We haven't visited Marquis Chengyang

00:03:03.290 --> 00:03:05.060
ever since we arrived at the capital.

00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:07.500
I had already heard about the gossip
within the imperial court

00:03:07.690 --> 00:03:09.620
while we were still on the battlefield.

00:03:10.100 --> 00:03:12.010
(Marquis Chengyang's Residence)
They were just gossiping about how unfilial I was.

00:03:12.250 --> 00:03:13.970
They gossiped plenty of things about me.

00:03:14.290 --> 00:03:15.690
This isn't a big deal.

00:03:22.500 --> 00:03:23.970
Old Madam, you must
take care of your health.

00:03:23.970 --> 00:03:26.060
You mustn't let yourself fall sick.

00:03:27.410 --> 00:03:28.690
It was my fault in the first place.

00:03:28.780 --> 00:03:30.340
I didn't hide Uncle away well enough.

00:03:30.850 --> 00:03:31.970
Initially,

00:03:32.380 --> 00:03:34.250
I thought of hiding Uncle away
in the village.

00:03:34.460 --> 00:03:35.900
I was sure that no one would find out.

00:03:36.570 --> 00:03:39.010
I never expected Fourth Lady
to be that ruthless.

00:03:39.660 --> 00:03:41.780
She held a grudge against me and Old Madam
for punishing her in the past.

00:03:42.500 --> 00:03:43.850
She actually took revenge against us.

00:03:43.940 --> 00:03:45.410
It's all because of
your inferior arrangements.

00:03:45.500 --> 00:03:47.060
You unreliable fool.

00:03:47.810 --> 00:03:49.380
How dare you try to hide a criminal?

00:03:49.380 --> 00:03:51.530
Do you know that everyone around you
will be punished for your sin?

00:03:52.250 --> 00:03:54.620
You'll be truly unfilial

00:03:54.690 --> 00:03:56.250
Old Madam was implicated
because of this.

00:03:56.290 --> 00:03:57.530
So, according to you,

00:03:57.780 --> 00:03:59.810
Uncle was arrested
because of Fourth Lady.

00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:01.180
Not only did she not commit any crime,

00:04:01.410 --> 00:04:02.970
but she also rendered huge merit?

00:04:03.170 --> 00:04:04.610
Uncle embezzled the military armaments.

00:04:04.850 --> 00:04:06.610
What's wrong with reporting him
to the authorities?

00:04:07.050 --> 00:04:08.340
If you're unsatisfied,

00:04:08.490 --> 00:04:09.930
you can argue with them
in the government office.

00:04:09.930 --> 00:04:12.050
Don't think that you can
scare me with the government office

00:04:12.370 --> 00:04:13.780
just because I'm a housewife.

00:04:13.970 --> 00:04:15.780
I may not understand the situation
within the imperial court,

00:04:15.900 --> 00:04:17.290
however, I know

00:04:17.290 --> 00:04:18.700
that blood runs thicker than water.

00:04:18.900 --> 00:04:20.220
How could we sell each other out?

00:04:20.610 --> 00:04:21.610
You should come up with a way

00:04:21.610 --> 00:04:24.260
and try to save him.

00:04:24.900 --> 00:04:26.370
Can you bear to watch Old Madam
suffer the pain

00:04:26.580 --> 00:04:29.660
of losing one's family member
at such an age?

00:04:31.220 --> 00:04:33.930
Those who embezzled military armaments
will face military punishments.

00:04:33.930 --> 00:04:35.530
I'm not capable enough
to save him from that.

00:04:35.700 --> 00:04:36.850
I don't care!

00:04:36.900 --> 00:04:37.700
Shi,

00:04:37.700 --> 00:04:40.530
you have to save your uncle somehow.

00:04:40.730 --> 00:04:41.660
Shi!

00:04:41.970 --> 00:04:43.050
Shi!

00:04:43.850 --> 00:04:45.170
Now, you're only

00:04:45.170 --> 00:04:47.290
concerned about your wife's family.

00:04:47.290 --> 00:04:49.290
You don't care about your uncle

00:04:49.290 --> 00:04:50.820
and your mother at all!

00:04:50.820 --> 00:04:51.490
Mother.

00:04:51.730 --> 00:04:53.820
Last time, I told you
to give me 2,000 liang

00:04:53.820 --> 00:04:55.370
so that your aunt can get herself
a new daughter-in-law.

00:04:55.370 --> 00:04:57.700
You weren't willing
to fork out the money!

00:04:57.970 --> 00:04:59.730
However, when the brother
of your wife wanted to pursue his study,

00:04:59.730 --> 00:05:01.020
you provided him

00:05:01.020 --> 00:05:02.930
with all the money he needed!

00:05:03.530 --> 00:05:06.580
You're so biased!

00:05:06.730 --> 00:05:10.820
You have no regards
for my brothers at all!

00:05:12.020 --> 00:05:13.850
Other people use the dowries

00:05:13.850 --> 00:05:16.340
they receive from the bride's family
to pay for their expenses.

00:05:16.460 --> 00:05:18.100
Only my sister-in-law

00:05:18.100 --> 00:05:19.820
uses the money from her husband's family

00:05:19.930 --> 00:05:21.140
to pay for her family's expenses.

00:05:21.140 --> 00:05:22.580
You don't call that
getting a daughter-in-law.

00:05:22.580 --> 00:05:23.850
You call that getting a concubine.

00:05:23.970 --> 00:05:25.100
He's still young.

00:05:25.530 --> 00:05:27.660
Studying and getting himself a bride
is the way to go.

00:05:28.220 --> 00:05:29.050
Besides,

00:05:29.290 --> 00:05:29.970
Yuanyi and I

00:05:29.970 --> 00:05:31.580
earned a living

00:05:31.580 --> 00:05:33.260
by risking our lives on the battlefield.

00:05:33.530 --> 00:05:34.660
Why can't she use our money?

00:05:35.050 --> 00:05:36.370
We're a family.

00:05:36.820 --> 00:05:38.370
Why is there a need to
separate the two families?

00:05:38.970 --> 00:05:40.490
I know I'm not comparable to you.

00:05:40.930 --> 00:05:42.370
You're being so calculative.

00:05:42.490 --> 00:05:44.020
Could it be that
you despise Old Madam

00:05:44.340 --> 00:05:46.410
for spending money on her family?

00:05:49.970 --> 00:05:50.780
Old Madam,

00:05:51.460 --> 00:05:53.020
that's definitely not the case.

00:05:55.850 --> 00:05:59.530
All of you are bad eggs!

00:06:01.900 --> 00:06:05.020
Scram! All of you!

00:06:17.340 --> 00:06:18.100
Brother-in-law,

00:06:18.530 --> 00:06:19.340
sister-in-law,

00:06:20.370 --> 00:06:22.100
this is quite the sudden visit.

00:06:22.410 --> 00:06:25.100
We haven't got time to clean
and organize the main house yet.

00:06:25.530 --> 00:06:27.220
I've cleared out some rooms
in the backyard.

00:06:27.220 --> 00:06:28.820
Your entire family can stay there.

00:06:29.020 --> 00:06:30.530
It's more convenient for you too.

00:06:30.780 --> 00:06:33.170
You're asking my entire family
to stay in the side house?

00:06:33.490 --> 00:06:35.820
How is that convenient?

00:06:36.100 --> 00:06:37.260
Brother, it's been over 10 years

00:06:37.260 --> 00:06:38.970
since you've met Fourth Lady, right?

00:06:39.370 --> 00:06:40.290
If so, my arrangement

00:06:40.290 --> 00:06:42.700
serves to form
a closer bond between you two.

00:06:56.660 --> 00:06:58.490
We will gladly oblige, sister-in-law.

00:07:10.780 --> 00:07:12.460
So pretentious.

00:07:14.530 --> 00:07:16.530
I won't move out of the main house.

00:07:16.530 --> 00:07:18.610
I'll see what you can do about it.

00:07:59.170 --> 00:08:00.900
We've let down Niaoniao.

00:08:00.900 --> 00:08:02.260
Look at how pale she looks.

00:08:02.460 --> 00:08:04.100
She doesn't look healthy at all.

00:08:04.530 --> 00:08:06.820
I wonder how much
she has suffered at home?

00:08:17.370 --> 00:08:19.020
Madam, Lianfang is here.

00:08:19.580 --> 00:08:20.370
Understood.

00:08:37.340 --> 00:08:40.180
Has Madam Ge ever hired
a physician for Niaoniao?

00:08:40.490 --> 00:08:41.370
Second Madam said

00:08:41.370 --> 00:08:42.970
children will get better by themselves
when they fall sick.

00:08:42.970 --> 00:08:44.300
She has been ignoring the child.

00:08:44.460 --> 00:08:45.180
We were sent to the village

00:08:45.180 --> 00:08:47.100
from time to time
for the past few years.

00:08:47.250 --> 00:08:48.850
Although her parents have been
fighting at the frontlines,

00:08:48.850 --> 00:08:50.700
Young Lady never got
to spend a single cent of their money.

00:08:51.100 --> 00:08:52.180
Not only were we lacking in
food and apparel,

00:08:52.180 --> 00:08:53.650
but we were also not taken care of
when we were sick.

00:08:53.650 --> 00:08:54.940
They just left us to sink or swim.

00:08:55.100 --> 00:08:56.180
Why did they send Niaoniao

00:08:56.540 --> 00:08:58.650
to the village and left her to die

00:08:58.650 --> 00:08:59.730
without any reason?

00:09:00.010 --> 00:09:02.580
Second Madam couldn't bear a son even
after being married for over 10 years.

00:09:02.940 --> 00:09:05.610
That's why they were planning to adopt
her 10-year-old nephew, Yao.

00:09:05.850 --> 00:09:08.420
They brought Yao to the residence
just a few days ago.

00:09:08.890 --> 00:09:10.370
Niaoniao gave Yao a gourd of honey

00:09:10.540 --> 00:09:12.650
out of kind intention.

00:09:12.940 --> 00:09:14.700
But no one expected

00:09:14.700 --> 00:09:15.850
the bees to come when he opened the lid.

00:09:16.300 --> 00:09:18.340
Yao was stung all over his head.

00:09:18.540 --> 00:09:20.700
Second Madam wanted Young Lady
to reflect upon her own actions.

00:09:21.180 --> 00:09:22.940
She sent her to the village

00:09:22.940 --> 00:09:24.420
during the coldest season of the year.

00:09:24.820 --> 00:09:26.890
Madam Ge is truly vile and vicious.

00:09:27.100 --> 00:09:28.540
I should've asked second brother
to divorce her.

00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:30.580
Did Yao open the gourd of honey

00:09:31.300 --> 00:09:33.300
himself?

00:09:33.490 --> 00:09:35.370
Or did Niaoniao open it?

00:09:37.130 --> 00:09:39.180
Young Lady opened it.

00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:42.370
He couldn't even open the lid

00:09:42.580 --> 00:09:44.370
when he was 10 years old?

00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:47.100
He actually asked Niaoniao
to open it for him?

00:09:48.770 --> 00:09:51.100
He could've had the honey
inside his room.

00:09:51.250 --> 00:09:54.300
Why must he have it in the yard
where there are flowers and bees around?

00:09:55.010 --> 00:09:57.130
It's either you don't do it,

00:09:57.340 --> 00:09:59.580
or you do it properly.

00:09:59.850 --> 00:10:01.420
If not, you'll turn into
a laughing stock.

00:10:04.650 --> 00:10:05.490
General,

00:10:06.250 --> 00:10:08.060
I've inquired about it from a physician.

00:10:08.650 --> 00:10:09.970
Niaoniao

00:10:10.250 --> 00:10:11.850
didn't faint because of the cold.

00:10:12.490 --> 00:10:14.540
It was because her stomach
and spleen were damaged.

00:10:15.460 --> 00:10:16.420
She stuffed herself with too much food.

00:10:18.540 --> 00:10:20.370
It's because Young Lady was starving.

00:10:20.490 --> 00:10:22.650
They don't feed her well
during usual days.

00:10:22.970 --> 00:10:24.700
They only sent her some food

00:10:24.700 --> 00:10:25.970
as you guys brought her here in a hurry.

00:10:26.130 --> 00:10:27.580
Our lady had starved for several days.

00:10:28.010 --> 00:10:29.700
That's why she devoured all the food.

00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:31.890
She was afraid that she might not
be able to have decent food again.

00:10:32.730 --> 00:10:34.250
If not, there's no reason
for her to do so.

00:10:35.100 --> 00:10:36.370
We initially thought that Niaoniao

00:10:36.610 --> 00:10:39.540
had her needs taken care of
when we were fighting in the war.

00:10:39.730 --> 00:10:40.490
No one expected her

00:10:40.730 --> 00:10:42.580
to live such a pathetic life.

00:10:43.250 --> 00:10:44.650
All right, I understand.

00:10:44.970 --> 00:10:46.010
You may leave now.

00:10:47.770 --> 00:10:48.610
Yes, sir.

00:10:52.490 --> 00:10:54.130
Although Madam has already
left someone kind and trustworthy

00:10:54.130 --> 00:10:55.940
to take care of Niaoniao,

00:10:56.650 --> 00:10:58.970
Madam Ge still managed to get her way.

00:10:59.100 --> 00:11:00.890
Now that I've returned,

00:11:01.540 --> 00:11:02.370
I will never allow this

00:11:02.850 --> 00:11:04.420
to happen again.

00:11:05.300 --> 00:11:06.490
It's getting late.

00:11:06.820 --> 00:11:09.700
General, you still need to
visit your second brother, right?

00:11:09.700 --> 00:11:10.700
I'll go and check on him.

00:11:21.250 --> 00:11:23.010
Sickness comes quickly but goes slowly.

00:11:23.890 --> 00:11:26.010
Young Lady's health
is seriously affected.

00:11:26.580 --> 00:11:28.250
I don't know how long it'll take

00:11:28.250 --> 00:11:29.340
before she can fully recover.

00:11:31.130 --> 00:11:32.770
She fainted at just the right time.

00:11:33.060 --> 00:11:34.370
She gave us a reason

00:11:34.700 --> 00:11:36.730
to criticize Old Madam's
way of treating her.

00:11:37.180 --> 00:11:39.060
(My mother does have sharp eyes.)

00:11:39.650 --> 00:11:41.370
(I'm afraid she has already
seen through my act.)

00:11:41.650 --> 00:11:44.700
(If so, why did she turn a blind eye
to the person who mistreated me?)

00:11:44.890 --> 00:11:46.370
Madam, you're thoughtful indeed.

00:11:46.610 --> 00:11:49.060
You told them you guys would return
half a month later.

00:11:49.300 --> 00:11:50.490
That's why they couldn't cover up

00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:51.890
their evil deeds and
gave themselves away.

00:11:52.370 --> 00:11:53.340
Madam, these people

00:11:53.770 --> 00:11:55.100
bore grudges against you.

00:11:55.220 --> 00:11:56.730
That's why they directed
their hatred to Young Lady

00:11:57.220 --> 00:11:58.340
and mistreated her.

00:11:59.250 --> 00:12:01.820
(So, it's not that they didn't know
I was suffering here.)

00:12:02.060 --> 00:12:03.730
(They just leave me be.)

00:12:04.010 --> 00:12:05.850
Master is so worried about Young Lady.

00:12:06.130 --> 00:12:07.180
I guess he won't obey

00:12:07.180 --> 00:12:09.010
all of the Old Madam's wills now, right?

00:12:09.130 --> 00:12:09.890
Don't worry.

00:12:10.610 --> 00:12:12.650
General would've died
in the battlefield long ago

00:12:12.650 --> 00:12:15.010
if he exhibited such petty kindness.

00:12:16.540 --> 00:12:17.420
General

00:12:18.010 --> 00:12:19.610
knows how to identify right from wrong.

00:12:20.540 --> 00:12:21.420
There are no wives

00:12:21.940 --> 00:12:23.970
who cannot win against
their mothers-in-law.

00:12:24.540 --> 00:12:25.770
It just depends whether

00:12:26.340 --> 00:12:27.970
their husbands are willing to help them.

00:12:30.010 --> 00:12:31.940
(She let her daughter
suffered on purpose)

00:12:32.300 --> 00:12:34.340
(so that Father can fall out with
Grandmother.)

00:12:35.300 --> 00:12:37.250
(Mother is truly ruthless.)

00:12:38.970 --> 00:12:40.250
I'm not worried about my husband.

00:12:40.650 --> 00:12:43.940
I'm worried that it'll be difficult
to shape the next generation

00:12:44.610 --> 00:12:46.180
if I leave them be
for the next 10 years.

00:12:46.610 --> 00:12:48.340
That's why I can only
be strict with them

00:12:48.820 --> 00:12:51.490
and try my best to
rectify their mistakes.

00:12:53.300 --> 00:12:55.010
(Instead of dealing with the people
who bullied me,)

00:12:55.130 --> 00:12:57.100
(she tried to discipline me instead.)

00:12:57.730 --> 00:12:59.130
(I would rather
depend on myself than her.)

00:12:59.890 --> 00:13:01.420
(Seems like I need to do this myself.)

00:13:03.540 --> 00:13:07.540
(Prison of Judicial Review)

00:13:07.940 --> 00:13:09.650
I ordered you
to monitor the Cheng Family.

00:13:10.700 --> 00:13:11.770
Have you done so?

00:13:11.850 --> 00:13:13.730
The Cheng Family
is in turmoil every day.

00:13:13.730 --> 00:13:15.300
It's all because of the womenfolk.

00:13:15.820 --> 00:13:17.650
I heard that Old Madam Cheng was angry

00:13:17.650 --> 00:13:19.540
that Fourth Lady Cheng
betrayed her brother

00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:20.770
and that she intended to punish her.

00:13:24.420 --> 00:13:25.340
I've investigated them.

00:13:25.730 --> 00:13:27.610
There's nothing wrong with
Cheng's Residence for the past few days,

00:13:27.610 --> 00:13:29.130
except for Madam Ge,
the Second Madam of the family.

00:13:29.650 --> 00:13:30.700
I've verified it.

00:13:30.700 --> 00:13:32.060
The person who obstructed us
from investigating the residence

00:13:32.370 --> 00:13:34.060
was Housemaid Li , the maid of the Second Madam.

00:13:34.970 --> 00:13:35.700
Young Master,

00:13:35.890 --> 00:13:37.610
the servant of the Cheng Family
sent this bundle to us.

00:13:37.940 --> 00:13:39.890
He said this was prepared for
Young Master by Fourth Lady Cheng.

00:13:43.060 --> 00:13:45.490
Could it be that she was trying
to bribe Young Master with money?

00:13:53.730 --> 00:13:55.970
It's a bunch of junk?

00:14:10.220 --> 00:14:11.370
The members of the Cheng Family

00:14:12.820 --> 00:14:15.220
are filial indeed.

00:14:21.540 --> 00:14:28.180
(Ge's Fabric Store)

00:14:29.060 --> 00:14:29.820
Young Master,

00:14:29.820 --> 00:14:30.770
just as you expected,

00:14:30.970 --> 00:14:33.060
there's something wrong with
the accounts of the fabric store.

00:14:38.010 --> 00:14:40.850
Head Armorer Dong invested 8000 liang
into this fabric store.

00:14:41.100 --> 00:14:42.300
He only has a low salary.

00:14:42.580 --> 00:14:44.250
That's why he must've embezzled
the government's money.

00:14:44.460 --> 00:14:46.890
Young Master, you haven't thrown away

00:14:46.890 --> 00:14:48.100
the junk that Fourth Lady
had teased us with?

00:14:48.700 --> 00:14:50.490
Did Fourth Lady Cheng send them here

00:14:51.010 --> 00:14:53.460
to tell us something
about the fabric store?

00:14:56.970 --> 00:14:57.890
Dried straw.

00:14:58.850 --> 00:15:01.010
It means that Head Armorer Dong was hiding
within the haystack back then.

00:15:01.700 --> 00:15:03.940
And, the torn fabric
refers to the fabric store.

00:15:06.940 --> 00:15:08.250
This is interesting.

00:15:08.700 --> 00:15:09.890
Fourth Lady Cheng

00:15:09.890 --> 00:15:11.850
took such a huge detour
to tell us about the truth.

00:15:12.730 --> 00:15:14.300
Is she trying to get on our good side?

00:15:14.540 --> 00:15:15.850
I think she wants us

00:15:15.970 --> 00:15:17.850
to assist her in her escape.

00:15:18.490 --> 00:15:20.180
Why should we do so?

00:15:25.700 --> 00:15:27.370
I'm afraid she has already
found her own means

00:15:30.180 --> 00:15:31.540
to escape.

00:15:45.370 --> 00:15:46.940
I won't take this. Take it away.

00:15:47.420 --> 00:15:49.820
This is medicine the imperial physician
had prescribed.

00:15:49.890 --> 00:15:50.970
It's very effective.

00:15:51.060 --> 00:15:52.730
Young Lady, please take some.

00:15:54.420 --> 00:15:55.700
I've already recovered.

00:15:56.130 --> 00:15:57.770
Why should I take this?

00:15:57.770 --> 00:16:00.180
Not only will it heal you, but it will
also strengthen your body.

00:16:00.540 --> 00:16:02.100
Young Lady, please take your medicine.

00:16:02.300 --> 00:16:04.490
After that, you can have your snacks.

00:16:04.490 --> 00:16:05.460
You can take it for me.

00:16:06.250 --> 00:16:07.010
I!

00:16:09.100 --> 00:16:09.890
Someone's here.

00:16:10.340 --> 00:16:11.060
Quiet.

00:16:22.770 --> 00:16:24.770
Why isn't my daughter doing any better?

00:16:34.420 --> 00:16:36.010
Greetings, Father, Mother.

00:16:36.420 --> 00:16:38.010
You may drop the formalities.

00:16:42.010 --> 00:16:44.130
Why are you still so weak?

00:16:45.970 --> 00:16:47.060
It's all because of Madam Ge.

00:16:47.180 --> 00:16:49.100
My daughter's health
was seriously affected because of her.

00:16:49.420 --> 00:16:50.610
She won't be able to
return to normal now.

00:16:51.010 --> 00:16:51.740
Here.

00:16:51.890 --> 00:16:52.580
Lie down.

00:16:52.580 --> 00:16:53.780
The medicine is getting cold.

00:16:53.890 --> 00:16:55.540
Hurry and feed the young lady.

00:16:56.100 --> 00:16:57.100
Yes, Madam.

00:17:00.300 --> 00:17:01.260
Here.

00:17:01.690 --> 00:17:02.890
Just finish it. Here.

00:17:41.100 --> 00:17:42.850
My daughter, why are you crying?

00:17:43.890 --> 00:17:44.650
Father,

00:17:47.210 --> 00:17:48.610
the medicine is too bitter.

00:17:50.650 --> 00:17:51.850
Why don't we put some malt sugar

00:17:52.370 --> 00:17:53.370
into the medicine?

00:17:53.980 --> 00:17:55.130
How could you add random things

00:17:55.130 --> 00:17:56.850
into the medicine prescribed by
the imperial physician?

00:17:57.370 --> 00:17:58.890
As the saying goes,
good medicine tastes bitter.

00:17:59.370 --> 00:18:00.780
You have to take this

00:18:01.100 --> 00:18:02.410
until you recover from your sickness.

00:18:06.100 --> 00:18:07.340
Your mother is right.

00:18:07.890 --> 00:18:08.890
You should listen to your mother.

00:18:09.130 --> 00:18:11.300
It's good for you. Drink up.

00:18:13.890 --> 00:18:14.890
Niaoniao, be a good girl.

00:18:15.650 --> 00:18:17.060
Once you get better,

00:18:17.260 --> 00:18:18.540
I'll bring you to go horse riding.

00:18:18.930 --> 00:18:20.650
We can enjoy the lantern party that will
be held after New Year together.

00:18:29.930 --> 00:18:31.890
Our Niaoniao is a gorgeous girl.

00:18:32.020 --> 00:18:34.410
Even if you put all those girls

00:18:34.410 --> 00:18:35.540
from Wan's house together

00:18:35.540 --> 00:18:37.020
into a bouquet,

00:18:37.130 --> 00:18:38.650
Niaoniao is still
better-looking than them.

00:18:38.650 --> 00:18:39.450
General.

00:18:40.100 --> 00:18:41.130
It's vain to praise a girl

00:18:41.210 --> 00:18:43.060
for her looks.

00:18:43.060 --> 00:18:46.020
It's more important for her
to learn courtesy and virtues.

00:18:47.060 --> 00:18:48.450
Niaoniao, finish it.

00:18:48.650 --> 00:18:49.540
Drink up.

00:18:56.780 --> 00:18:59.980
My goodness!

00:19:01.650 --> 00:19:02.780
Old Madam is having a fit again.

00:19:03.300 --> 00:19:04.450
We should check it out.

00:19:06.370 --> 00:19:09.580
My goodness!

00:19:10.300 --> 00:19:11.020
Stop drinking.

00:19:11.020 --> 00:19:11.740
Later,

00:19:11.740 --> 00:19:13.980
I'll put some malt sugar
into your medicine.

00:19:18.930 --> 00:19:22.170
My brother!

00:19:22.170 --> 00:19:24.130
Hurry up. The show will start soon.

00:19:26.370 --> 00:19:28.690
I don't want to live anymore!

00:19:28.690 --> 00:19:31.340
Cheng Shi won't just leave him to die.

00:19:31.340 --> 00:19:34.370
Old Madam, please don't be silly!

00:19:35.100 --> 00:19:35.980
Sister-in-law,

00:19:35.980 --> 00:19:39.060
(Aunt Dong)
even if you wish to die, this is not the time!

00:19:39.260 --> 00:19:40.650
If you die right now,

00:19:40.650 --> 00:19:43.500
all hope will be lost for brother!

00:19:44.340 --> 00:19:47.170
What has the Dong Family done wrong?

00:19:47.170 --> 00:19:48.890
Why are they raiding our home?

00:19:49.020 --> 00:19:51.370
If we set up a stage in the courtyard,

00:19:51.890 --> 00:19:53.580
Grandmother can play
the entire troupe herself.

00:19:54.130 --> 00:19:57.610
I don't want to live anymore!

00:19:57.610 --> 00:19:59.260
Let me end my life!

00:19:59.260 --> 00:20:01.100
Don't stop me!

00:20:03.580 --> 00:20:04.170
It's Father's turn.

00:20:04.170 --> 00:20:05.850
I don't want to live anymore!

00:20:05.850 --> 00:20:08.450
I'll end my life!

00:20:09.740 --> 00:20:11.020
-Aunt!
-Old Madam!

00:20:11.210 --> 00:20:12.060
Mother!

00:20:15.780 --> 00:20:17.170
Why did you use so much force?

00:20:17.340 --> 00:20:18.690
Were you truly trying to
push me into the well?

00:20:19.170 --> 00:20:20.740
I was just scaring them.

00:20:20.930 --> 00:20:21.610
Get out of the way.

00:20:21.610 --> 00:20:23.130
What are you up to again?

00:20:23.980 --> 00:20:25.930
Look at how small the well is.
Do you think you can fit inside?

00:20:27.850 --> 00:20:30.370
You heartless scum!

00:20:30.370 --> 00:20:31.410
Look at Grandmother.

00:20:31.610 --> 00:20:33.820
Look at her strong limbs
and sturdy body.

00:20:33.980 --> 00:20:35.980
It's a waste that she wasn't a general.

00:20:36.410 --> 00:20:37.650
Even if she jumps into the well,

00:20:38.170 --> 00:20:39.540
we should be grateful
if she doesn't create a new well

00:20:39.980 --> 00:20:41.260
with the impact of her jump.

00:20:42.740 --> 00:20:44.540
The well is small?

00:20:44.740 --> 00:20:48.340
I can't fit inside? If so, I...

00:20:49.170 --> 00:20:50.540
I'll bang my head into the wall!

00:20:50.980 --> 00:20:53.500
I'll bang my head into the well
and join your father!

00:20:53.820 --> 00:20:55.820
Hey, you should drag me.

00:20:56.060 --> 00:20:57.370
I'll bang my head into the wall!

00:21:09.410 --> 00:21:10.340
Old Madam!

00:21:11.170 --> 00:21:12.370
Old Madam, are you okay?

00:21:13.580 --> 00:21:16.100
Try it and tell me.

00:21:16.820 --> 00:21:18.340
You should drag my arm!

00:21:18.340 --> 00:21:19.930
Why did you drag my sleeve?

00:21:20.060 --> 00:21:22.410
I didn't expect you
to exert that much force.

00:21:22.540 --> 00:21:23.980
Do you really wish to see me die?

00:21:24.450 --> 00:21:26.410
Uncle is still staring at us.

00:21:30.340 --> 00:21:32.020
My goodness!

00:21:32.300 --> 00:21:32.980
Say,

00:21:33.100 --> 00:21:34.370
do you think Master

00:21:34.370 --> 00:21:35.610
will fall for the Old Madam's trick?

00:21:36.580 --> 00:21:38.410
Although Father is kind-hearted,

00:21:38.580 --> 00:21:40.210
he's a general who has been through
numerous wars

00:21:40.210 --> 00:21:41.850
and killed countless enemies.

00:21:42.930 --> 00:21:44.980
Of course he won't be duped.

00:21:45.340 --> 00:21:46.170
Old Madam!

00:21:46.170 --> 00:21:47.930
He has been alongside Mother
for many years.

00:21:48.170 --> 00:21:49.260
He has already mastered every trick

00:21:49.260 --> 00:21:50.500
there is.

00:21:51.780 --> 00:21:52.930
He won't lose if he engages

00:21:53.820 --> 00:21:54.690
Grandmother in a battle of wits.

00:21:59.500 --> 00:22:01.890
It's all my fault!

00:22:03.170 --> 00:22:06.370
I was too incompetent to save Uncle!

00:22:07.540 --> 00:22:10.130
I'm so pitiful!

00:22:10.410 --> 00:22:11.740
Too pitiful!

00:22:11.740 --> 00:22:12.540
General.

00:22:15.370 --> 00:22:16.540
Brother-in-law, you...

00:22:16.650 --> 00:22:18.410
Aren't you making things
difficult for Old Madam here?

00:22:18.850 --> 00:22:20.340
We're a family.

00:22:20.410 --> 00:22:23.540
No matter how difficult it was, saving
Uncle Dong should've been your priority.

00:22:23.780 --> 00:22:26.650
My husband is going to kneel
in front of Old Madam.

00:22:26.890 --> 00:22:29.170
Sister-in-law, you better
get out of the way.

00:22:29.170 --> 00:22:31.300
Don't tell me you wish
to accept his bow too?

00:22:32.210 --> 00:22:33.930
You're not worthy.

00:22:33.930 --> 00:22:35.850
Get out of the way!

00:22:36.410 --> 00:22:37.450
What are you doing?

00:22:37.740 --> 00:22:39.170
Do you wish to laugh at me?

00:22:39.930 --> 00:22:42.540
I told Mother before

00:22:42.850 --> 00:22:46.450
that Uncle was a devious man.

00:22:46.450 --> 00:22:48.740
Father is the son of Grandmother indeed.

00:22:49.020 --> 00:22:50.740
His acting is pretty good too.

00:22:52.170 --> 00:22:54.780
Young Lady, I guess
you take after your father too.

00:22:55.340 --> 00:22:57.980
Why was he captured?

00:22:59.450 --> 00:23:03.260
I'm so pitiful!

00:23:03.260 --> 00:23:07.130
All of my brothers are either dead
or separated!

00:23:07.130 --> 00:23:10.650
Your uncle is the only surviving son
of the family!

00:23:10.980 --> 00:23:13.740
He wouldn't have turned into
a greedy person

00:23:13.740 --> 00:23:17.820
if it weren't for the terrible days
he had endured back then!

00:23:18.690 --> 00:23:19.580
Why don't we

00:23:19.690 --> 00:23:21.020
send all of our money

00:23:21.500 --> 00:23:23.540
to him?

00:23:24.060 --> 00:23:24.890
Wait...

00:23:25.260 --> 00:23:26.130
That's right!

00:23:29.060 --> 00:23:30.610
My nephew,

00:23:30.610 --> 00:23:32.340
by saving your uncle,

00:23:32.340 --> 00:23:34.450
you'll be saving your mother too!

00:23:34.580 --> 00:23:37.650
We're a family and
we shouldn't be separated.

00:23:38.100 --> 00:23:41.450
It's not that I don't want to save him!
I just can't!

00:23:41.820 --> 00:23:42.930
That Ling Buyi

00:23:43.060 --> 00:23:44.740
is just like Justice Pao.

00:23:44.890 --> 00:23:45.980
If it weren't for the fact

00:23:45.980 --> 00:23:48.130
that I had rendered merits
on the battlefield before I came back,

00:23:48.130 --> 00:23:49.060
he would've arrested me

00:23:49.370 --> 00:23:51.170
together with Uncle!

00:23:51.170 --> 00:23:52.980
I don't dare to plead with him!

00:23:53.100 --> 00:23:54.980
You heartless scum!

00:23:55.020 --> 00:23:57.540
Are you going to do nothing
and let your uncle die?

00:23:57.540 --> 00:23:58.890
Precisely!

00:24:02.410 --> 00:24:03.130
Fine.

00:24:04.340 --> 00:24:07.370
I'll report you to
the government office right now!

00:24:07.370 --> 00:24:08.340
I'll report you for being unfilial!

00:24:08.580 --> 00:24:09.580
I heard that our current emperor

00:24:09.690 --> 00:24:12.370
emphasized filial piety the most.

00:24:12.540 --> 00:24:14.170
If an official was reported for
being unfilial,

00:24:14.370 --> 00:24:16.300
they'd be fined and given the rod.

00:24:16.300 --> 00:24:18.130
If it was serious, they might be removed
from their positions too.

00:24:18.130 --> 00:24:19.650
Let's see if you're afraid of that.

00:24:19.650 --> 00:24:20.450
Old Madam,

00:24:20.610 --> 00:24:22.980
do you know that going against
the filial code is a huge crime?

00:24:23.410 --> 00:24:24.890
Getting the rod and his position removed
isn't a big deal.

00:24:25.100 --> 00:24:26.370
What if they seize our assets
and execute the entire family?

00:24:26.890 --> 00:24:28.410
What will you do by then?

00:24:29.210 --> 00:24:30.300
Execute the entire family?

00:24:31.210 --> 00:24:32.500
No one told me about that.

00:24:33.780 --> 00:24:35.260
Mother, you can go ahead.

00:24:35.820 --> 00:24:37.850
If you're reporting me
just because I didn't obey you

00:24:37.850 --> 00:24:39.020
and help uncle to escape,

00:24:39.170 --> 00:24:40.340
I have nothing to be afraid of

00:24:40.340 --> 00:24:41.780
even if you report me

00:24:42.060 --> 00:24:43.300
to His Majesty.

00:24:43.500 --> 00:24:46.930
So, you're pressuring me
with national affairs

00:24:47.690 --> 00:24:51.410
now that you're an official, huh?

00:24:52.690 --> 00:24:57.100
From now on, I won't eat or drink.

00:24:57.850 --> 00:24:58.500
Say,

00:24:58.500 --> 00:25:00.410
do you think the Old Madam
is truly trying to kill herself here?

00:25:00.930 --> 00:25:02.210
Why don't we make a bet?

00:25:02.610 --> 00:25:03.650
She'll give up

00:25:04.210 --> 00:25:05.100
within half a month.

00:25:09.340 --> 00:25:10.650
Are you guys done?

00:25:10.650 --> 00:25:11.850
Of course not.

00:25:12.340 --> 00:25:14.410
This is just the first round.

00:25:43.850 --> 00:25:45.100
Greetings, Mother.

00:25:48.370 --> 00:25:50.540
Young Lady, did you catch a cold?

00:25:52.130 --> 00:25:53.740
Maybe I caught a cold

00:25:54.930 --> 00:25:56.170
when I was taking a walk just now.

00:25:57.100 --> 00:25:58.260
Mother, don't worry about me.

00:25:58.610 --> 00:26:00.100
Why didn't you rest in your room

00:26:00.890 --> 00:26:02.930
since you were feeling unwell?

00:26:07.060 --> 00:26:08.130
It's windy out here.

00:26:08.540 --> 00:26:09.890
You should rest in your room.

00:26:10.540 --> 00:26:11.650
Don't come outside.

00:26:12.300 --> 00:26:13.340
Yes, Mother.

00:26:42.260 --> 00:26:43.300
I thought

00:26:44.300 --> 00:26:45.410
my days would be happier

00:26:46.020 --> 00:26:47.580
after Father and Mother returned home.

00:26:48.650 --> 00:26:49.820
But now,

00:26:50.820 --> 00:26:52.500
it seems like my days
won't be as carefree as before.

00:26:54.130 --> 00:26:56.980
Even so, it's better for your mother
to discipline you than your aunt.

00:26:57.500 --> 00:26:59.130
Madam feels sorry for you.

00:26:59.260 --> 00:27:00.740
They're doing this for your sake.

00:27:03.300 --> 00:27:04.260
You don't need to deceive me.

00:27:04.340 --> 00:27:05.610
I won't fall for it anyway.

00:27:10.170 --> 00:27:10.980
Spare me!

00:27:11.980 --> 00:27:12.780
I'll confess!

00:27:14.130 --> 00:27:15.170
I'll confess!

00:27:22.450 --> 00:27:23.890
Please spare me!

00:27:31.540 --> 00:27:33.260
Where are you bringing me?

00:27:40.060 --> 00:27:41.540
This guy is so insensible.

00:27:41.740 --> 00:27:43.060
He just had to lie

00:27:43.210 --> 00:27:45.130
when Young Master
was asking him questions.

00:27:45.580 --> 00:27:47.890
Young Master is
an intelligent individual.

00:27:47.890 --> 00:27:49.580
Of course he could tell
that he was lying.

00:27:50.100 --> 00:27:52.060
That's why he rewarded him
with a knee break.

00:27:55.690 --> 00:27:57.740
What's a knee break?

00:27:58.020 --> 00:27:59.340
It's when you stab

00:27:59.340 --> 00:28:01.500
a person's knee with a knife

00:28:01.500 --> 00:28:03.820
and dig out their kneecaps...

00:28:04.540 --> 00:28:06.170
Please stop it.

00:28:06.650 --> 00:28:07.890
We've already gone easy on him.

00:28:07.890 --> 00:28:09.340
Last time, there was
another stubborn guy.

00:28:09.610 --> 00:28:11.060
Have you ever heard of lead-filling?

00:28:12.410 --> 00:28:14.450
It's when a person drills a hole
in another person's eyes

00:28:14.450 --> 00:28:16.450
and fill them with lead.

00:28:18.020 --> 00:28:18.780
Open the door!

00:28:26.980 --> 00:28:27.820
General Ling!

00:28:29.500 --> 00:28:31.780
General Ling!

00:28:34.410 --> 00:28:35.370
General Ling!

00:28:36.370 --> 00:28:38.100
General Ling! Please spare me!

00:28:38.610 --> 00:28:39.340
Head Armorer Dong.

00:28:39.340 --> 00:28:41.820
Please spare me!

00:28:41.820 --> 00:28:44.060
General Cheng has already requested me

00:28:44.340 --> 00:28:45.780
to enforce the law impartially.

00:28:46.820 --> 00:28:48.850
No matter what you plan to do now,

00:28:49.370 --> 00:28:51.060
it is all but futile.

00:28:54.610 --> 00:28:56.980
I hate it the most
when people lie to me.

00:28:58.370 --> 00:29:00.020
Whenever I encounter liars,

00:29:01.060 --> 00:29:02.060
I will despise them

00:29:02.980 --> 00:29:03.890
and kill them.

00:29:07.690 --> 00:29:09.980
Now, I have the ledger
of Ge's fabric store with me.

00:29:13.540 --> 00:29:15.210
How dare you lie to me?

00:29:15.210 --> 00:29:18.450
General Ling! I was innocent!

00:29:18.450 --> 00:29:19.300
Someone!

00:29:22.260 --> 00:29:22.930
Sir!

00:29:23.130 --> 00:29:24.260
Take him away.

00:29:24.930 --> 00:29:25.540
Let's go!

00:29:28.930 --> 00:29:29.980
General Ling!

00:29:30.580 --> 00:29:32.740
I'll confess!

00:29:32.740 --> 00:29:35.850
I'll confess everything!
Please spare me!

00:29:36.850 --> 00:29:38.540
Please spare me!

00:29:42.300 --> 00:29:43.410
My good sister,

00:29:43.850 --> 00:29:46.820
let me take a look at you.

00:29:47.890 --> 00:29:50.060
Why did you become so thin?

00:29:51.100 --> 00:29:55.020
Old Madam, I thought I would
never be able to see you again!

00:29:58.610 --> 00:30:00.540
Later, I'll find Ling Buyi

00:30:00.540 --> 00:30:01.980
and inquire about Uncle's condition

00:30:02.740 --> 00:30:04.500
so that Mother can stop worrying.

00:30:05.260 --> 00:30:07.580
After all, Uncle was arrested
after Niaoniao sold him out.

00:30:07.580 --> 00:30:09.650
I'm afraid Mother would make things
difficult for her.

00:30:15.170 --> 00:30:15.980
Dear,

00:30:16.890 --> 00:30:18.740
there is a way to kill
two birds with one stone.

00:30:18.930 --> 00:30:20.130
Do you still remember Hu Yun?

00:30:20.500 --> 00:30:21.260
Who?

00:30:24.170 --> 00:30:25.540
Do you mean Mother's confidante

00:30:25.980 --> 00:30:26.850
back then?

00:30:27.090 --> 00:30:29.210
(Hu Yun)

00:30:29.210 --> 00:30:31.300
It was chaotic out there.

00:30:31.580 --> 00:30:34.170
I wouldn't be here

00:30:34.370 --> 00:30:36.890
if your son didn't save us back then.

00:30:37.780 --> 00:30:39.890
Back then, I was surrounded by bandits.

00:30:39.890 --> 00:30:41.170
They were

00:30:41.170 --> 00:30:43.450
trying to slash me.

00:30:43.820 --> 00:30:46.260
Luckily, Colonel Cheng came
to our rescue together with his troops.

00:30:46.260 --> 00:30:49.060
He intercepted the bandit's attack
with his spear.

00:30:49.300 --> 00:30:50.540
It was a close shave.

00:30:50.540 --> 00:30:53.890
Colonel Cheng's weapon wasn't
as durable as the bandits'.

00:30:54.210 --> 00:30:55.740
His spear was broken.

00:30:56.130 --> 00:30:58.580
Even without his trusty weapon,

00:30:58.740 --> 00:31:00.100
with a body full of injuries,

00:31:00.100 --> 00:31:02.500
he took the bandit's
long blade from his hands!

00:31:02.650 --> 00:31:06.610
That was how he saved our lives!

00:31:07.300 --> 00:31:09.340
A body full of injuries?

00:31:10.930 --> 00:31:11.650
My son!

00:31:11.650 --> 00:31:12.580
Were you hurt anywhere?

00:31:12.820 --> 00:31:14.690
Take off your clothes
and show them to me.

00:31:14.690 --> 00:31:16.020
Madam Hu is still here.

00:31:16.020 --> 00:31:18.540
It's fine. Madam Hu has seen everything!

00:31:18.540 --> 00:31:19.980
Hurry and take off your clothes...

00:31:22.020 --> 00:31:22.980
Shi?

00:31:26.100 --> 00:31:27.170
Shi!

00:31:27.170 --> 00:31:28.610
I told you to join the war

00:31:28.610 --> 00:31:30.980
to win honor and make a fortune from it.

00:31:30.980 --> 00:31:34.370
I didn't ask you to sacrifice your life!

00:31:34.690 --> 00:31:35.980
I have no choice but to risk my life

00:31:36.130 --> 00:31:37.890
since I don't have any good weapons.

00:31:38.300 --> 00:31:39.690
I've already notified her.

00:31:39.930 --> 00:31:40.740
I think

00:31:41.210 --> 00:31:43.170
we can make Old Madam see the truth

00:31:43.170 --> 00:31:44.340
and tell right from wrong now.

00:31:51.300 --> 00:31:52.450
On the battlefield,

00:31:53.100 --> 00:31:55.780
one's weapon is their life source.

00:31:56.210 --> 00:31:58.580
Some scoundrels actually

00:31:58.780 --> 00:32:01.300
swapped the good weapons
with counterfeits

00:32:01.300 --> 00:32:03.780
and sold them to our soldiers!

00:32:04.020 --> 00:32:06.450
What a scoundrel!

00:32:08.610 --> 00:32:09.410
Old Madam,

00:32:09.740 --> 00:32:10.690
Madam Dong requests an audience.

00:32:13.650 --> 00:32:14.410
Okay.

00:32:15.980 --> 00:32:17.780
Great timing.

00:32:21.740 --> 00:32:22.820
Invite her in.

00:32:23.370 --> 00:32:24.170
Yes, Madam.

00:32:25.980 --> 00:32:26.930
My sister,

00:32:27.450 --> 00:32:28.980
you may leave for now.

00:32:29.580 --> 00:32:30.780
Thank you, Old Madam.

00:32:37.980 --> 00:32:40.340
I'm sure Aunt is here
to make things difficult for you

00:32:40.340 --> 00:32:41.410
because of Uncle's issue.

00:32:41.850 --> 00:32:43.980
It's all because of
my incompetency and low rank.

00:32:44.100 --> 00:32:45.650
Even if I beg Ling Buyi,

00:32:45.650 --> 00:32:47.450
he might not let Uncle off.

00:32:47.850 --> 00:32:50.740
Why don't I bear the blame for Uncle?

00:32:50.890 --> 00:32:53.580
I'll say that Uncle Dong embezzled

00:32:53.580 --> 00:32:54.930
the armaments under my order.

00:32:55.210 --> 00:32:57.370
I will be executed.

00:32:57.820 --> 00:32:59.100
Uncle Dong will be rescued.

00:32:59.580 --> 00:33:01.260
The Cheng Family will be executed

00:33:01.450 --> 00:33:02.690
instead of the Dong Family.

00:33:02.780 --> 00:33:04.260
That's great!

00:33:05.370 --> 00:33:07.300
That's a great idea!

00:33:07.450 --> 00:33:09.580
That's an excellent idea!

00:33:09.980 --> 00:33:11.780
My nephew,
you're a high-ranking official.

00:33:12.100 --> 00:33:13.580
Even if you do commit a crime,

00:33:13.780 --> 00:33:16.610
His Majesty will be
more lenient toward you.

00:33:16.980 --> 00:33:19.930
At most, His Majesty will just fine you.

00:33:20.450 --> 00:33:21.300
Sister-in-law,

00:33:21.450 --> 00:33:24.300
why don't we let your son

00:33:24.780 --> 00:33:26.500
bear the blame for him?

00:33:37.260 --> 00:33:38.820
You vicious wretch!

00:33:39.690 --> 00:33:41.980
How dare you try to harm my son?

00:33:42.500 --> 00:33:43.300
Yesterday,

00:33:43.820 --> 00:33:45.610
there was no smoke
coming out from our chimney.

00:33:46.170 --> 00:33:47.540
I thought something was off.

00:33:47.930 --> 00:33:49.650
That's why I performed a divination.

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:51.410
It actually said

00:33:51.650 --> 00:33:52.650
that the Cheng Family

00:33:52.890 --> 00:33:55.900
would be in turmoil due to disturbance
from relatives.

00:33:55.900 --> 00:33:58.290
The deities were right.

00:33:58.540 --> 00:34:01.900
The Cheng Family will
perish in your hands!

00:34:02.130 --> 00:34:05.650
My second daughter-in-law's fabric store

00:34:05.650 --> 00:34:06.940
was also seized because of you two!

00:34:07.380 --> 00:34:08.250
You and your family,

00:34:08.460 --> 00:34:11.020
all of you are rotten apples!

00:34:11.500 --> 00:34:12.100
Someone!

00:34:12.100 --> 00:34:14.210
Chase this vicious wretch away!

00:34:14.610 --> 00:34:16.170
I'll break the legs of the person

00:34:16.330 --> 00:34:17.900
who allowed her in!

00:34:17.980 --> 00:34:18.810
Sister-in-law,

00:34:18.900 --> 00:34:19.690
he was the one who said...

00:34:19.690 --> 00:34:20.250
Shut up!

00:34:20.250 --> 00:34:21.980
He said so himself!

00:34:22.330 --> 00:34:24.500
He said that himself!

00:34:34.860 --> 00:34:35.980
Mother, this is the result

00:34:36.540 --> 00:34:38.460
when you only listen
to one side of the story.

00:34:39.250 --> 00:34:41.610
Mother, you were duped by Uncle
and his family

00:34:42.170 --> 00:34:44.500
into thinking that
they were closer to you.

00:34:45.020 --> 00:34:46.130
You bullied and deceived

00:34:46.290 --> 00:34:48.130
your own family instead.

00:34:49.500 --> 00:34:50.810
The Cheng Family was
only able to lead a good life

00:34:51.020 --> 00:34:53.580
because Yuanyi and I risked our lives

00:34:53.580 --> 00:34:56.650
on the battlefield for many years.

00:34:56.940 --> 00:34:58.020
Don't tell me you're going
to abandon everything

00:34:58.210 --> 00:35:00.770
because of Uncle Dong's crime?

00:35:00.770 --> 00:35:01.610
No!

00:35:02.060 --> 00:35:03.060
I don't want that!

00:35:03.290 --> 00:35:04.420
I don't want that!

00:35:05.100 --> 00:35:06.020
I don't want that!

00:35:34.650 --> 00:35:36.650
The Old Madam has been
in her room the entire day.

00:35:36.650 --> 00:35:38.170
She said she wouldn't eat anything.

00:35:39.170 --> 00:35:41.210
Mother was always the first
when it came to eating.

00:35:41.540 --> 00:35:42.610
Now, she's not eating?

00:35:43.330 --> 00:35:44.690
I'm afraid she has finally
straightened out her thoughts.

00:35:44.770 --> 00:35:46.060
Finally.

00:35:46.860 --> 00:35:47.900
Father, it's all because

00:35:47.900 --> 00:35:49.540
you touched her heart with your words.

00:35:50.330 --> 00:35:51.610
No matter how biased Grandmother is,

00:35:51.610 --> 00:35:52.810
she shouldn't sacrifice
the entire Cheng Family

00:35:52.900 --> 00:35:54.770
in exchange for Uncle Dong's life.

00:35:55.060 --> 00:35:56.610
When eating, do not converse.
When in bed, do not speak.

00:35:57.100 --> 00:35:58.330
Your parents are having a conversation.

00:35:58.940 --> 00:35:59.940
You shouldn't interfere.

00:36:00.210 --> 00:36:01.900
You guys haven't started eating yet.

00:36:06.810 --> 00:36:08.100
Your grandmother isn't eating

00:36:08.900 --> 00:36:10.100
partly because of your fault.

00:36:10.810 --> 00:36:12.980
Fine. Let's eat.

00:36:14.460 --> 00:36:15.330
Father,

00:36:15.730 --> 00:36:17.500
I suddenly feel sick.

00:36:17.810 --> 00:36:19.580
I'm afraid my stomach
hasn't fully recovered yet.

00:36:20.060 --> 00:36:21.060
Niaoniao is just like me.

00:36:21.460 --> 00:36:22.980
She'll have a stomachache
whenever she listens to lectures

00:36:23.580 --> 00:36:24.540
during mealtimes.

00:36:25.730 --> 00:36:26.940
An ancient sage once said

00:36:27.380 --> 00:36:29.210
that we must not lecture our child
during mealtimes.

00:36:30.210 --> 00:36:31.540
Which sage was it?

00:36:33.940 --> 00:36:34.730
Niaoniao,

00:36:34.980 --> 00:36:35.900
you should have more meat.

00:36:36.060 --> 00:36:38.210
I'm sure you starved yourself
when you were in the village.

00:36:38.650 --> 00:36:39.610
Thank you, Father.

00:36:43.540 --> 00:36:45.500
She shouldn't take meat
if her stomach is feeling uncomfortable.

00:36:45.940 --> 00:36:47.250
It's better for her to
have an empty stomach.

00:37:14.900 --> 00:37:15.690
Mother,

00:37:16.330 --> 00:37:17.210
you must be starving.

00:37:18.860 --> 00:37:20.250
Here, have some snacks.

00:37:24.540 --> 00:37:25.290
Here.

00:37:31.020 --> 00:37:32.730
It's been over 10 years
since I last saw you.

00:37:35.380 --> 00:37:37.540
Let me see how you have changed.

00:37:45.580 --> 00:37:47.810
Mother, I know you're worried about me.

00:38:04.940 --> 00:38:06.100
You're

00:38:07.690 --> 00:38:09.730
my first son.

00:38:10.330 --> 00:38:12.690
How could I not worry about you?

00:38:18.170 --> 00:38:19.940
You had only sent me

00:38:20.250 --> 00:38:21.250
a few bamboo slips

00:38:21.610 --> 00:38:24.170
over the past 10 years!

00:38:26.500 --> 00:38:29.730
I thought you were slaying enemies
and rending merit on the battlefield.

00:38:30.130 --> 00:38:32.810
I never expected you to suffer so much.

00:38:34.610 --> 00:38:36.610
Mother, I wanted to write to you.

00:38:36.900 --> 00:38:38.690
But you don't know how to read.

00:38:39.730 --> 00:38:40.940
I just didn't want

00:38:41.130 --> 00:38:43.420
Madam Ge to read the letter
I wrote to you.

00:38:45.380 --> 00:38:46.810
No matter how vile she was,

00:38:46.980 --> 00:38:48.980
you still used her dowries

00:38:49.060 --> 00:38:51.170
to provide aid to
the Xiao Family, didn't you?

00:38:51.290 --> 00:38:53.290
I don't know where her dowries went.

00:38:54.020 --> 00:38:55.580
I, Cheng Shi, am
an honest and upright man.

00:38:56.380 --> 00:38:57.380
No matter how vile I am,

00:38:57.650 --> 00:38:59.380
I wouldn't use the dowries
of my sister-in-law

00:38:59.380 --> 00:39:01.100
to support the family of my wife.

00:39:01.100 --> 00:39:04.650
Xiao Yuanyi remarried!

00:39:05.690 --> 00:39:06.810
Her family was shattered into pieces.

00:39:06.940 --> 00:39:08.380
All of their assets had been sold off.

00:39:09.380 --> 00:39:11.060
Even so, you still liked her.

00:39:11.060 --> 00:39:12.100
That's right.

00:39:12.610 --> 00:39:14.580
I won't marry anyone else besides her.

00:39:15.980 --> 00:39:17.540
My son,

00:39:17.940 --> 00:39:20.290
I dote on you
and your third brother the most.

00:39:21.290 --> 00:39:23.330
However, ever since you two got married,

00:39:23.730 --> 00:39:25.650
you two were only
concerned about your wives.

00:39:25.810 --> 00:39:27.860
You two only spoke to your wives.

00:39:28.730 --> 00:39:30.770
You two neglected your mother.

00:39:31.330 --> 00:39:33.210
Isn't that the case

00:39:33.290 --> 00:39:34.860
when a man establishes a family?

00:39:35.540 --> 00:39:36.900
Even if it were 100 years later,

00:39:37.170 --> 00:39:39.250
Mother, you should be
buried together with Father

00:39:39.540 --> 00:39:42.330
while we would be buried together
with our wives.

00:39:43.250 --> 00:39:45.610
They can't just bury
the three of us together, right?

00:39:49.020 --> 00:39:49.860
I understand now.

00:39:51.210 --> 00:39:53.860
Mother, you're just envious
of our spouses.

00:39:55.130 --> 00:39:56.020
I...

00:39:56.540 --> 00:39:57.860
I am.

00:40:01.980 --> 00:40:04.330
Father passed away
when we were still young.

00:40:05.130 --> 00:40:07.500
I know you feel lonely.

00:40:09.130 --> 00:40:11.650
Mother, is there anyone you fancy?

00:40:11.900 --> 00:40:12.810
If there's someone you fancy,

00:40:13.130 --> 00:40:14.460
remarrying him won't be a problem.

00:40:14.690 --> 00:40:15.330
You!

00:40:15.330 --> 00:40:17.060
As your juniors, we will never stop you.

00:40:17.290 --> 00:40:19.690
What nonsense are you talking about?

00:40:19.940 --> 00:40:21.730
When did I say I wanted to remarry?

00:40:21.900 --> 00:40:22.980
You brat!

00:40:23.420 --> 00:40:24.730
Mother, you need not be shy.

00:40:25.690 --> 00:40:27.330
We knew that you'd contributed a lot

00:40:27.330 --> 00:40:28.810
to the Cheng Family.

00:40:28.860 --> 00:40:30.210
Mother, if you wish to remarry,

00:40:30.610 --> 00:40:32.610
I and my siblings won't object to it.

00:40:32.980 --> 00:40:35.460
Mother, if you give birth
to new siblings for us,

00:40:35.610 --> 00:40:38.500
we will surely treat them
like our own siblings.

00:40:38.540 --> 00:40:39.250
I!

00:40:41.170 --> 00:40:41.980
Fine.

00:40:43.540 --> 00:40:44.380
Fine then.

00:40:45.420 --> 00:40:46.940
If you pass away early,

00:40:47.460 --> 00:40:49.060
I'll definitely find another man

00:40:49.330 --> 00:40:51.020
for your wife to remarry.

00:40:51.020 --> 00:40:53.810
By then, she'll give birth
to a bunch of kids.

00:40:54.540 --> 00:40:55.420
I'm not afraid of that.

00:40:55.770 --> 00:40:58.170
Yuanyi isn't
an irresolute person like you.

00:40:58.170 --> 00:40:59.500
You better scram!

00:40:59.690 --> 00:41:01.580
You unfilial brat!

00:41:01.580 --> 00:41:03.170
I'll beat you to death!

00:41:03.420 --> 00:41:04.460
Scram!

00:41:04.650 --> 00:41:05.290
You brat!

00:41:05.980 --> 00:41:07.210
Mother, stop hitting me!

00:41:07.860 --> 00:41:09.580
Father made Grandmother angry again.

00:41:10.610 --> 00:41:12.810
Mother is always one step ahead.

00:41:13.860 --> 00:41:15.460
She's letting her husband
doing her work on her behalf.

00:41:15.610 --> 00:41:17.940
There's no need for her to make
threatening gestures in front of her.

00:41:18.810 --> 00:41:20.130
Are you saying

00:41:20.420 --> 00:41:22.100
all of this is part of my plot?

00:41:35.420 --> 00:41:36.540
As a girl,

00:41:36.580 --> 00:41:38.290
not only did you eavesdrop
on your elders,

00:41:38.290 --> 00:41:39.770
but you also judged your elders.

00:41:40.290 --> 00:41:41.610
This is preposterous.

00:41:42.290 --> 00:41:43.330
Give me your hand.

00:42:01.860 --> 00:42:02.900
From tomorrow onward,

00:42:03.580 --> 00:42:05.690
Niaoniao is to read and copy
"The Book of Rites" in her room.

00:42:06.650 --> 00:42:08.610
She's not allowed to go out
until she finishes copying it.

00:42:08.610 --> 00:42:09.290
But...

00:42:09.860 --> 00:42:11.060
But Father said

00:42:11.060 --> 00:42:12.650
there would be a lantern party
during Lantern Festival.

00:42:12.650 --> 00:42:13.900
I've never attended one in my life...

00:42:13.900 --> 00:42:15.980
Elders make the call in the house.

00:42:16.900 --> 00:42:19.580
You will stay at home and study.

00:42:31.900 --> 00:42:33.100
Mother brought a ruler with her

00:42:33.100 --> 00:42:34.650
just to find faults with me.

00:42:35.460 --> 00:42:37.210
Young Lady, you misunderstood Madam.

00:42:37.460 --> 00:42:39.540
Madam didn't bring the ruler here
in order to discipline you.

00:42:42.170 --> 00:42:43.690
Madam cared about you.

00:42:43.690 --> 00:42:45.060
She just did that in a fit of rage.

00:42:45.500 --> 00:42:46.810
I will try to speak to Madam again.

00:42:54.060 --> 00:42:55.060
Young Lady,

00:42:55.650 --> 00:42:56.610
don't be sad.

00:43:15.170 --> 00:43:16.540
What's there for me to be sad about?

00:43:19.580 --> 00:43:21.380
I don't care about
Mother's opinion of me anyway.

00:43:23.810 --> 00:43:25.690
A loving mother and filial child

00:43:27.940 --> 00:43:29.060
is the direct opposite
of our relationship.

00:43:32.100 --> 00:43:33.170
I won't feel sad

00:43:35.250 --> 00:43:36.580
about losing it

00:43:39.170 --> 00:43:40.210
since I don't own it in the first place.

00:44:02.770 --> 00:44:03.940
What's wrong with you?

00:44:06.330 --> 00:44:08.810
Don't tell me Old Madam beat you up?

00:44:09.500 --> 00:44:11.650
Mother was jealous of our love.

00:44:11.860 --> 00:44:13.170
I suggest her to remarry
out of kindness,

00:44:13.900 --> 00:44:15.290
but she threw a fit instead.

00:44:15.980 --> 00:44:16.860
What did you say?

00:44:17.500 --> 00:44:19.210
You suggested her to remarry?

00:44:20.100 --> 00:44:20.940
Was I wrong?

00:44:21.100 --> 00:44:22.770
She's been pretty irritable
these few days.

00:44:23.130 --> 00:44:24.250
I'm afraid it's because of
the imbalance in Yin and Yang.

00:44:24.980 --> 00:44:25.980
Old Madam did the right thing.

00:44:26.770 --> 00:44:29.540
I should give you another beating
to complement hers.

00:44:36.250 --> 00:44:37.130
Back then,

00:44:37.580 --> 00:44:39.100
I thought Erlang
could join the government office.

00:44:40.420 --> 00:44:41.460
When you don't discipline a child well,

00:44:41.650 --> 00:44:44.730
they will grow up
to be prodigals or criminals.

00:44:45.380 --> 00:44:46.900
No matter how willful a girl is,

00:44:47.210 --> 00:44:48.690
at least we can protect her.

00:44:48.860 --> 00:44:50.580
Moreover, the battlefield is dangerous.

00:44:50.580 --> 00:44:52.210
I didn't want her
to suffer alongside us.

00:44:52.460 --> 00:44:54.690
But I didn't expect Niaoniao

00:44:55.250 --> 00:44:56.650
to be a troublemaker as well.

00:44:57.460 --> 00:44:58.500
I regret my decision

00:44:58.900 --> 00:45:00.460
for entrusting our girl to Madam Ge.

00:45:00.460 --> 00:45:02.130
She actually learned
all the bad things from her.

00:45:02.900 --> 00:45:04.460
Eavesdropping on people,
tricking people,

00:45:04.690 --> 00:45:05.900
even teasing her elders.

00:45:06.330 --> 00:45:09.250
Those are not the behaviors
of an excellent lady.

00:45:09.540 --> 00:45:12.060
Dear, calm down. Please be appeased.

00:45:12.540 --> 00:45:14.100
Since Madam Ge didn't teach her well,

00:45:14.170 --> 00:45:15.810
we could take our time to teach her.

00:45:16.020 --> 00:45:16.810
Take our time?

00:45:17.540 --> 00:45:18.730
We cannot afford to take our time.

00:45:19.330 --> 00:45:20.460
Do you expect her husband to teach her

00:45:20.730 --> 00:45:22.650
if I fail my duties as her mother?

00:45:24.210 --> 00:45:25.540
Look at this.

00:45:26.940 --> 00:45:27.940
What is this?

00:45:28.690 --> 00:45:31.900
Yesterday, there was no smoke
coming out from our chimney.

00:45:32.770 --> 00:45:34.210
I thought something was off.

00:45:35.540 --> 00:45:37.380
That's why I performed a divination.

00:45:38.210 --> 00:45:39.940
This is because Niaoniao

00:45:40.580 --> 00:45:42.610
modified the chimney in secret.

00:45:42.900 --> 00:45:45.060
She was trying
to frighten Old Madam.

00:45:45.210 --> 00:45:47.100
She preyed on Old Madam's
superstitious beliefs

00:45:47.500 --> 00:45:48.650
and tricked her.

00:45:50.940 --> 00:45:53.580
I was wondering
why the chimney wasn't working.

00:45:54.290 --> 00:45:56.060
Niaoniao is so intelligent.

00:45:56.250 --> 00:45:57.250
She's actually capable of that?

00:45:57.460 --> 00:45:58.810
You're still trying
to be protective of her?

00:45:59.210 --> 00:46:01.210
I would've given her the military rod

00:46:01.610 --> 00:46:04.100
if she was one of my soldiers.

00:46:20.060 --> 00:46:23.250
Niaoniao's current apparel
doesn't fit her body.

00:46:23.380 --> 00:46:25.130
Get me the ruler.

00:46:25.250 --> 00:46:28.580
I'll order new apparel for her
once I'm done taking her measurements.

00:46:40.810 --> 00:46:43.420
Dear, I know you wish
to make it up to her.

00:46:43.420 --> 00:46:44.900
You want to discipline her
in the shortest time possible.

00:46:45.380 --> 00:46:47.420
However, it takes 1,000 days
to raise an army.

00:46:47.460 --> 00:46:49.020
We've only been home for a few days.

00:46:49.250 --> 00:46:52.460
I'd already made the wrong decision once
back then.

00:46:53.060 --> 00:46:54.210
That's why Niaoniao

00:46:55.330 --> 00:46:56.610
ended up like this.

00:46:57.420 --> 00:46:58.940
I mustn't repeat the same mistake.

00:46:59.460 --> 00:47:00.420
If I leave her be,

00:47:01.500 --> 00:47:03.060
her future will be ruined.

00:47:05.130 --> 00:47:07.100
I have to discipline this child
no matter what.

00:47:44.440 --> 00:47:51.470
The beacon-fire has knocked
over the white snow

00:47:53.280 --> 00:48:00.470
I caress the scars gently
from the past

00:48:02.040 --> 00:48:09.360
Your back to the light,
your eyes contain the galaxy

00:48:10.790 --> 00:48:17.960
I hum as the sun
and the moon mutter back

00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:22.670
The light between your brows

00:48:23.280 --> 00:48:27.150
Was put out and rekindled
by the secular world

00:48:27.940 --> 00:48:35.280
The sky, the mountain, and the ocean,
whom do I part them for?

00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:45.560
As I wake up from the blue sea,
stone steles stand like a mountain range

00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:54.280
Under the lantern, criticisms were thrown,
the narrow door could not contain my feelings

00:48:54.870 --> 00:49:03.000
The joys and woes of this mortal life,
we speak as we dream of the future

00:49:03.560 --> 00:49:07.230
Both of us will be

00:49:07.590 --> 00:49:18.450
In the sea of stars,
burning bright with our sincerity

00:49:20.790 --> 00:49:27.100
Our sincerity
