= Love Like the Galaxy=

00:01:30.500 --> 00:01:33.660
=Episode 16=

00:01:45.890 --> 00:01:46.890
Shanjian,

00:01:49.010 --> 00:01:50.010
was I

00:01:51.730 --> 00:01:53.850
truly wrong?

00:01:58.450 --> 00:02:00.650
We must let bygones be bygones.

00:02:01.330 --> 00:02:02.810
Master, you should let go

00:02:03.290 --> 00:02:04.610
of the past.

00:02:05.650 --> 00:02:06.610
You need

00:02:07.730 --> 00:02:09.130
to move on.

00:02:14.290 --> 00:02:15.210
Shanjian,

00:02:17.290 --> 00:02:20.530
if I could cut off my ties

00:02:22.090 --> 00:02:23.770
with that woman without any hesitations,

00:02:24.850 --> 00:02:25.890
Shunhua

00:02:27.010 --> 00:02:29.210
would've gotten back together with me.

00:02:29.530 --> 00:02:30.370
Master,

00:02:31.410 --> 00:02:33.010
I heard that Official Cheng Zhi

00:02:33.290 --> 00:02:34.650
was handsome and talented.

00:02:35.210 --> 00:02:37.210
He's famous for his devotion
to his wife.

00:02:37.890 --> 00:02:40.970
No one expected Ms. Sang
to be that much happier

00:02:41.250 --> 00:02:42.930
than you, Master.

00:02:43.410 --> 00:02:45.890
Master, you cannot let go of the past

00:02:45.890 --> 00:02:48.050
all because you're too stubborn.

00:02:49.490 --> 00:02:50.490
Master, this is just
a silly opinion of mine.

00:02:51.970 --> 00:02:53.730
When you fall deeply in love,
you will feel frustrated.

00:02:54.050 --> 00:02:55.610
When you feel frustrated,
you will become paranoid.

00:02:55.970 --> 00:02:58.970
If you can let go of the past,
you won't become frustrated or paranoid.

00:02:59.450 --> 00:03:01.290
You shouldn't hold on to the past.

00:03:02.770 --> 00:03:05.130
Master, even if you keep
holding on to the past,

00:03:05.610 --> 00:03:07.090
Ms. Sang is already married.

00:03:07.570 --> 00:03:09.050
How will you deal with that?

00:03:09.410 --> 00:03:10.410
Is

00:03:12.530 --> 00:03:14.010
that so?

00:03:16.450 --> 00:03:17.290
Yes.

00:03:20.210 --> 00:03:22.970
You should've rested earlier.

00:03:23.930 --> 00:03:25.530
Staying up is bad for the body.

00:03:35.810 --> 00:03:38.530
Shunhua!

00:03:46.650 --> 00:03:47.410
General Ling,

00:03:47.530 --> 00:03:49.650
are there wolves nearby the mansion?

00:03:51.090 --> 00:03:51.890
Wolves?

00:03:52.610 --> 00:03:54.730
I heard a terrifying
wolf howl last night.

00:04:01.330 --> 00:04:02.090
Yao.

00:04:02.730 --> 00:04:03.890
Shaoshang, look.

00:04:04.170 --> 00:04:05.330
This horse is suave and strong.

00:04:06.890 --> 00:04:08.810
How did our horses change overnight?

00:04:10.770 --> 00:04:12.370
We should be particular when it comes
to horses and carriages.

00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:14.410
If we're riding a carriage in the city,

00:04:14.570 --> 00:04:16.930
a small horse that's as tall
as the carriage will suffice.

00:04:17.210 --> 00:04:18.690
However,
if we're heading out of the city,

00:04:19.370 --> 00:04:22.010
it's best if the horse's height is
in between the canopy and the carriage.

00:04:22.410 --> 00:04:23.610
That way,
the carriage won't bumped along the road.

00:04:24.890 --> 00:04:26.210
and it won't be as dangerous.

00:04:27.930 --> 00:04:28.810
Safety...

00:04:32.410 --> 00:04:34.170
Safety is our number one priority.

00:04:35.210 --> 00:04:37.010
Zisheng, you're thoughtful indeed.

00:04:38.490 --> 00:04:39.570
Thank you, Zisheng.

00:04:47.050 --> 00:04:47.890
By the way,

00:04:48.170 --> 00:04:49.410
where is Shanjian?

00:04:50.010 --> 00:04:51.650
I'm afraid he didn't
sleep well last night

00:04:53.130 --> 00:04:54.450
due to the wolvf's howl.

00:04:59.730 --> 00:05:00.530
Shanjian.

00:05:01.170 --> 00:05:02.010
Shanjian.

00:05:03.210 --> 00:05:05.090
Why aren't you sleeping on the mat?

00:05:10.290 --> 00:05:11.130
Master.

00:05:12.050 --> 00:05:13.250
You're finally awake.

00:05:13.330 --> 00:05:14.170
Shanjian,

00:05:14.610 --> 00:05:15.810
what happened to your voice?

00:05:18.370 --> 00:05:19.410
I drank too much

00:05:19.730 --> 00:05:20.650
last night.

00:05:22.490 --> 00:05:23.410
Shanjian,

00:05:23.970 --> 00:05:25.170
I taught you before.

00:05:25.450 --> 00:05:28.010
We should keep ourselves in check.

00:05:29.850 --> 00:05:33.170
Shunhua!

00:05:34.250 --> 00:05:34.970
Shanjian,

00:05:34.970 --> 00:05:35.690
do you think

00:05:35.690 --> 00:05:37.530
I should tell her about it?

00:05:41.050 --> 00:05:42.530
It's morning now.

00:05:42.970 --> 00:05:44.090
Master, you may go ahead

00:05:44.570 --> 00:05:45.610
if you're willing to.

00:05:58.530 --> 00:06:00.690
Shunhua!

00:06:12.490 --> 00:06:13.410
Third Aunt.

00:06:14.210 --> 00:06:15.490
Third Aunt, I'm back.

00:06:19.050 --> 00:06:20.370
You're finally back, huh?

00:06:25.050 --> 00:06:27.290
What did Huangfu Yi tell you?

00:06:31.290 --> 00:06:32.650
Third Aunt, how did you know

00:06:32.930 --> 00:06:34.890
Mr. Huangfu told us to spend the night
at his residence?

00:06:34.890 --> 00:06:37.170
How could I not when he notified me
with a letter?

00:06:40.730 --> 00:06:41.730
This man

00:06:42.330 --> 00:06:43.250
was a bad guy..

00:06:44.250 --> 00:06:46.770
He let you down back then.

00:06:46.970 --> 00:06:49.090
And now, he's shameless enough
to pester you again.

00:06:50.890 --> 00:06:52.490
Huangfu Yi isn't a bad guy.

00:06:52.490 --> 00:06:54.330
He's just the culmination

00:06:54.330 --> 00:06:55.410
of the flaw of every man in the world.

00:06:56.650 --> 00:06:57.450
Niaoniao,

00:06:58.650 --> 00:06:59.850
you see,

00:07:00.250 --> 00:07:02.330
marriage is but another scenery of life.

00:07:02.890 --> 00:07:05.490
Success or failure depends on
one's gain and loss.

00:07:07.450 --> 00:07:11.010
In the future, no matter
what you encounter,

00:07:11.890 --> 00:07:13.930
never give up your identity
because of a man.

00:07:15.090 --> 00:07:16.010
It's not worth it.

00:07:18.930 --> 00:07:21.410
Third Aunt, I will
remember your teaching.

00:07:22.290 --> 00:07:23.570
But Third Aunt, don't worry about me.

00:07:24.250 --> 00:07:25.930
Lou Yao and I will surely do well.

00:07:26.290 --> 00:07:27.490
We will surely be content

00:07:27.490 --> 00:07:29.450
unless something drastic happens.

00:07:31.130 --> 00:07:32.330
Look at you.

00:07:37.340 --> 00:07:43.900
(Hua County Magistrate's Court)

00:07:45.650 --> 00:07:46.570
We can see ourselves off.

00:07:47.290 --> 00:07:48.210
Third Aunt,

00:07:48.530 --> 00:07:50.450
remember to take a hot water bath

00:07:50.450 --> 00:07:52.330
with the hot water bathtub
I had built for you every day.

00:07:52.570 --> 00:07:53.730
That way, you can sleep better.

00:07:54.330 --> 00:07:55.170
And,

00:07:55.330 --> 00:07:56.850
Third Aunt, although
your leg injury has healed,

00:07:57.170 --> 00:07:58.450
you still need the physicians
to perform a follow-up examination.

00:07:58.450 --> 00:07:59.530
You mustn't neglect it.

00:07:59.650 --> 00:08:02.090
I'll make a wheelchair for you
when I get back.

00:08:02.290 --> 00:08:04.090
I'll ask someone to send it to you
when I'm done.

00:08:05.250 --> 00:08:06.130
Niaoniao,

00:08:07.730 --> 00:08:08.690
don't worry.

00:08:09.970 --> 00:08:10.890
Your third uncle is here with her.

00:08:10.890 --> 00:08:12.570
I will surely take good care of her.

00:08:13.610 --> 00:08:14.690
However, you must obey your parents

00:08:14.690 --> 00:08:16.130
when you go home.

00:08:16.130 --> 00:08:17.210
Stop rebelling against them.

00:08:18.290 --> 00:08:20.450
Third Uncle, you should listen to
Third Aunt's words.

00:08:20.970 --> 00:08:23.050
Don't let your imagination run wild.

00:08:24.250 --> 00:08:25.210
Niaoniao,

00:08:25.970 --> 00:08:27.130
take good care of yourself.

00:08:27.450 --> 00:08:29.570
Don't forget what I told you.

00:08:31.610 --> 00:08:34.570
Now, you finally understand
the meaning of a painful departure?

00:08:35.050 --> 00:08:35.890
Back then,

00:08:36.130 --> 00:08:37.290
you didn't even turn back

00:08:37.570 --> 00:08:39.570
when you went to Hua County.

00:08:40.250 --> 00:08:41.450
Dear,

00:08:41.450 --> 00:08:43.850
how did you know that Niaoniao
didn't turn back when she left?

00:08:44.770 --> 00:08:45.490
Could it be

00:08:45.490 --> 00:08:47.730
that you observed her in secret?

00:08:52.130 --> 00:08:53.170
It's getting late.

00:08:53.610 --> 00:08:54.730
You guys should get ready.

00:08:55.410 --> 00:08:56.570
Eldest Brother, Sister-in-law,

00:08:56.810 --> 00:08:57.930
please take care.

00:09:00.330 --> 00:09:01.650
You guys should take care too.

00:09:03.890 --> 00:09:04.610
Dear.

00:09:12.490 --> 00:09:13.410
Let's go.

00:09:23.290 --> 00:09:24.210
Depart!

00:09:37.810 --> 00:09:40.170
Shaoshang, wait for me!

00:09:46.290 --> 00:09:47.370
I have mixed feelings

00:09:48.450 --> 00:09:50.410
when I look at the departing carriage.

00:09:51.850 --> 00:09:53.690
Back then, Lou Yao did the same.

00:09:53.690 --> 00:09:55.450
He chased after our carriage
to Hua County.

00:09:56.330 --> 00:09:58.570
And now, he's chasing after
Niaoniao's carriage as they travel back.

00:09:58.850 --> 00:10:00.210
It's just that Niaoniao

00:10:00.410 --> 00:10:02.370
thought of him as a stranger
when they first came here.

00:10:03.650 --> 00:10:04.770
But now,

00:10:05.210 --> 00:10:06.810
they're close beyond our imagination.

00:10:07.370 --> 00:10:09.090
Life is unpredictable indeed.

00:10:09.450 --> 00:10:10.570
This is the power

00:10:11.170 --> 00:10:12.850
of deeply faith.

00:10:14.930 --> 00:10:16.130
Just like you and I.

00:10:21.700 --> 00:10:23.300
(Xinghua Courtyard)

00:10:23.810 --> 00:10:26.730
The largest flower to the side.

00:10:26.850 --> 00:10:27.770
Okay.

00:10:31.450 --> 00:10:34.330
Not that one, it's the one beside it.

00:10:34.530 --> 00:10:35.530
Which one?

00:10:36.770 --> 00:10:37.530
That one.

00:10:38.450 --> 00:10:39.450
Did you see it?

00:10:39.690 --> 00:10:40.410
Okay.

00:10:40.570 --> 00:10:42.130
Hurry up.

00:10:46.610 --> 00:10:47.490
Hurry up.

00:10:47.490 --> 00:10:48.570
Okay.

00:10:49.410 --> 00:10:50.730
Junhua, please calm down.

00:10:52.370 --> 00:10:53.210
Did you pick it?

00:10:53.930 --> 00:10:55.050
Give it to me.

00:10:57.340 --> 00:11:00.060
(Huo Junhua)

00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:03.090
Do you think I look good
with a flower in my hair?

00:11:03.090 --> 00:11:03.970
Yes.

00:11:03.970 --> 00:11:05.330
I'm sure Wen

00:11:05.450 --> 00:11:06.530
will like it if he sees me.

00:11:06.530 --> 00:11:07.490
Junhua,

00:11:07.970 --> 00:11:09.180
(Cui You)
you mustn't address him in that manner.

00:11:09.450 --> 00:11:10.690
That's His Majesty's true name.

00:11:11.210 --> 00:11:12.130
You mustn't do that.

00:11:12.530 --> 00:11:13.370
Yuan,

00:11:13.650 --> 00:11:15.530
I will never get married to you

00:11:15.530 --> 00:11:16.810
even if you pick the flowers for me.

00:11:17.170 --> 00:11:18.690
If you say those kinds of words again,

00:11:18.810 --> 00:11:19.890
I'll ask my brother

00:11:19.890 --> 00:11:21.530
to chase you out with a rod.

00:11:22.170 --> 00:11:23.010
Brother.

00:11:23.210 --> 00:11:24.650
Brother...

00:11:36.650 --> 00:11:37.530
Yuan,

00:11:38.250 --> 00:11:39.810
this is the nephew

00:11:40.210 --> 00:11:41.730
who's freeloading off us.

00:11:52.090 --> 00:11:52.970
Greetings,

00:11:55.130 --> 00:11:56.690
Young Lady.

00:11:58.690 --> 00:11:59.690
The economy wasn't doing too well,

00:12:00.010 --> 00:12:02.090
and he couldn't make
a living by himself.

00:12:02.370 --> 00:12:03.730
That's why he came all the way here

00:12:03.970 --> 00:12:05.970
to seek shelter
in my brother's residence.

00:12:12.890 --> 00:12:14.530
Young Lady, you offer aid
to the weak and poor.

00:12:15.570 --> 00:12:17.130
Words cannot express my gratitude.

00:12:22.810 --> 00:12:25.010
Young Lady, you look well today.

00:12:25.730 --> 00:12:26.850
Although

00:12:27.130 --> 00:12:28.370
the weather has been erratic lately,

00:12:29.450 --> 00:12:30.570
it's best for you

00:12:31.570 --> 00:12:32.930
to keep consuming mutton soup.

00:12:33.210 --> 00:12:35.050
Just mind your own business.

00:12:35.410 --> 00:12:37.730
I don't need you to tell me what to do.

00:12:40.170 --> 00:12:41.930
When His Majesty was on his quest
to conquer the world,

00:12:42.250 --> 00:12:43.890
Marquis Cui was the commander
of his vanguard unit.

00:12:44.570 --> 00:12:46.290
He slew enemies and
conquered every obstacle.

00:12:46.290 --> 00:12:47.610
Death meant nothing to him.

00:12:48.290 --> 00:12:49.410
I heard

00:12:49.610 --> 00:12:51.650
that Marquis Cui came back after
inquiring about the military situation.

00:12:52.570 --> 00:12:55.250
Marquis Cui truly misses Madam.

00:12:56.250 --> 00:12:57.690
He's almost certainly here

00:12:58.010 --> 00:12:59.850
whenever Young Master is here.

00:13:00.970 --> 00:13:02.330
Madam couldn't even remember

00:13:02.330 --> 00:13:04.410
that Young Master was her own son.

00:13:04.810 --> 00:13:06.930
Why would she pay attention
to Marquis Cui?

00:13:07.210 --> 00:13:09.050
It's not that she doesn't
remember anything.

00:13:09.490 --> 00:13:10.530
She did retain some of her memories

00:13:10.530 --> 00:13:12.130
before she got married.

00:13:12.290 --> 00:13:13.970
Right now, she still thinks

00:13:13.970 --> 00:13:15.650
that she's a young adult.

00:13:16.130 --> 00:13:17.330
She thinks that Marquis Cui

00:13:17.330 --> 00:13:19.370
is still his childhood companion.

00:13:22.290 --> 00:13:23.090
Mister,

00:13:24.250 --> 00:13:26.770
you told me not to gossip about people.

00:13:27.170 --> 00:13:28.490
However, you do remember

00:13:28.770 --> 00:13:31.250
their details pretty well, huh?

00:13:31.690 --> 00:13:32.250
I...

00:13:36.050 --> 00:13:37.490
What is Marquis Chengyang doing here?

00:13:38.730 --> 00:13:39.530
Here.

00:13:43.610 --> 00:13:44.890
It doesn't look too shabby.

00:13:45.730 --> 00:13:47.290
No matter how fancy they look,

00:13:47.290 --> 00:13:48.090
they lose their luster

00:13:49.050 --> 00:13:50.130
in front of you.

00:13:51.130 --> 00:13:52.210
Isn't it obvious?

00:13:52.650 --> 00:13:55.050
I'm the most beautiful girl
in the world.

00:13:56.130 --> 00:13:58.450
Even the wretched Yue Heng

00:13:58.530 --> 00:13:59.810
is no match for me.

00:13:59.970 --> 00:14:01.090
Wen

00:14:01.530 --> 00:14:03.090
only has eyes for me.

00:14:03.290 --> 00:14:04.770
He wouldn't look at that wretched girl

00:14:05.450 --> 00:14:07.450
even without these fancy brocade.

00:14:08.170 --> 00:14:08.930
Junhua,

00:14:10.330 --> 00:14:12.930
how could you be so impolite
toward Consort Yue?

00:14:13.410 --> 00:14:14.050
Do you know

00:14:14.050 --> 00:14:16.450
that she's a Worthy Lady right now?

00:14:18.410 --> 00:14:19.490
Consort Yue?

00:14:21.010 --> 00:14:22.130
Who is Consort Yue?

00:14:52.330 --> 00:14:53.690
Ling Yi!

00:14:54.620 --> 00:14:56.610
You were the one who let me down!

00:14:58.810 --> 00:15:00.570
Go to hell!

00:15:01.010 --> 00:15:02.250
Go to hell!

00:15:02.250 --> 00:15:03.130
Someone!

00:15:03.570 --> 00:15:05.290
Go to hell!

00:15:07.730 --> 00:15:09.050
Bring Madam to her room for now.

00:15:09.050 --> 00:15:11.570
Go to hell! You should die!

00:15:11.570 --> 00:15:12.570
Go to hell!

00:15:13.730 --> 00:15:14.730
Go to hell!

00:15:20.770 --> 00:15:22.410
You knew you were unwelcomed here.

00:15:24.370 --> 00:15:25.890
Why did you come here
without permission?

00:15:28.090 --> 00:15:30.930
I'm here to visit my wife and son.

00:15:31.370 --> 00:15:32.650
Is there any problem with that?

00:15:32.810 --> 00:15:35.130
You still have the guts
to call Junhua your wife?

00:15:36.090 --> 00:15:37.810
What kind of husband are you?

00:15:39.010 --> 00:15:40.170
Even so, I'm much better than you.

00:15:40.570 --> 00:15:43.130
She didn't even look you in the face

00:15:43.970 --> 00:15:45.770
even though you pestered her
for so many years.

00:15:49.450 --> 00:15:50.330
Zisheng,

00:15:52.610 --> 00:15:54.570
I'm here to discuss
an important matter with you.

00:15:55.970 --> 00:15:58.090
Fan Cang's case involves
the military armament.

00:15:58.570 --> 00:16:00.090
You should leave the case
to the Ministry of Justice.

00:16:00.850 --> 00:16:02.490
You don't need to get yourself involved.

00:16:02.890 --> 00:16:03.930
Moreover, this case

00:16:04.170 --> 00:16:06.370
involves imperial subjects as well.

00:16:06.810 --> 00:16:09.090
They followed His Majesty
on his conquest

00:16:09.610 --> 00:16:11.010
and enjoy infinite honor.

00:16:12.010 --> 00:16:13.290
How could His Majesty

00:16:13.290 --> 00:16:15.170
make things difficult
for his loyal subjects

00:16:15.570 --> 00:16:16.930
because of a small thing like this?

00:16:17.730 --> 00:16:19.770
Official Ji and I were
in charge of this case,

00:16:21.450 --> 00:16:23.010
and it was His Majesty's intention.

00:16:24.290 --> 00:16:25.370
The only thing I'm seeking

00:16:26.890 --> 00:16:28.450
is the truth.

00:16:33.290 --> 00:16:34.170
Zisheng,

00:16:34.570 --> 00:16:36.170
you're still too young
and inexperienced.

00:16:36.490 --> 00:16:38.730
I have to fulfill my obligation
of teaching you.

00:16:39.090 --> 00:16:40.410
Heed my advice.

00:16:40.930 --> 00:16:42.210
You should stop now.

00:16:42.770 --> 00:16:44.130
Back then, the eldest son of
the Huo family

00:16:44.410 --> 00:16:46.050
was as young as Zisheng
when he helped His Majesty

00:16:46.250 --> 00:16:47.730
to conquer foreign territories.

00:16:48.370 --> 00:16:49.130
Ling Yi,

00:16:49.770 --> 00:16:51.210
what gives you the right to despise him?

00:16:52.370 --> 00:16:53.010
Zisheng,

00:16:53.250 --> 00:16:54.490
I'm standing on your side.

00:16:55.250 --> 00:16:57.770
You can investigate the case
without any worries.

00:16:58.210 --> 00:16:59.890
If anyone dares to harm you,

00:17:01.770 --> 00:17:03.650
I'll defend you with my life.

00:17:03.650 --> 00:17:04.490
Cui You,

00:17:05.730 --> 00:17:07.970
don't you think
you're taking this too lightly?

00:17:08.330 --> 00:17:09.930
He has offended someone he shouldn't.

00:17:10.570 --> 00:17:12.210
Both of us cannot protect him now.

00:17:12.810 --> 00:17:14.530
Now, they've already started to act.

00:17:15.210 --> 00:17:16.050
Zisheng,

00:17:16.610 --> 00:17:17.530
did you know

00:17:17.930 --> 00:17:19.210
that the imperial prison

00:17:19.810 --> 00:17:21.050
was raided just two hours ago?

00:17:21.050 --> 00:17:22.770
Fan Cang has already
escaped from prison.

00:17:23.570 --> 00:17:24.730
How will you continue

00:17:25.490 --> 00:17:26.450
with the investigation next?

00:17:28.250 --> 00:17:29.090
Zisheng,

00:17:30.410 --> 00:17:32.010
you're in huge trouble now.

00:18:02.370 --> 00:18:03.130
You must be starving.

00:18:05.330 --> 00:18:06.090
What are these?

00:18:06.290 --> 00:18:07.130
Dried fruits.

00:18:31.930 --> 00:18:32.650
Are they sweet?

00:18:32.650 --> 00:18:33.370
Yes.

00:18:35.210 --> 00:18:37.290
If Niaoniao truly fancied Mr. Lou,

00:18:37.770 --> 00:18:38.570
why would she

00:18:38.810 --> 00:18:40.170
feed him like this?

00:18:40.370 --> 00:18:42.170
It's as if she's feeding an animal.

00:18:42.970 --> 00:18:45.050
Dear, it's inappropriate
for you to say that.

00:18:45.890 --> 00:18:46.890
Dear,

00:18:47.050 --> 00:18:48.170
so, how do you think

00:18:48.490 --> 00:18:49.890
one should feed their spouse

00:18:50.090 --> 00:18:51.410
in order to avoid
looking like feeding a dog?

00:18:52.130 --> 00:18:53.730
Naturally, one would use their hands

00:18:53.930 --> 00:18:56.050
to feed their spouse.

00:18:56.810 --> 00:18:58.130
If that's the case,

00:18:58.810 --> 00:19:00.890
you and I aren't considered
as a loving couple then.

00:19:01.530 --> 00:19:03.370
Dear, you had never fed me

00:19:03.690 --> 00:19:05.410
dried peaches with your hands.

00:19:05.850 --> 00:19:07.770
How could it be the same for us?

00:19:08.570 --> 00:19:10.330
We're married for so many years.

00:19:10.330 --> 00:19:12.210
You didn't feed me when we were young.

00:19:13.210 --> 00:19:14.570
But it's not too late to do so.

00:19:14.890 --> 00:19:16.650
I'll get some dried peaches from them.

00:19:16.970 --> 00:19:18.410
Let us teach them

00:19:18.570 --> 00:19:19.770
what it means

00:19:19.770 --> 00:19:21.210
to be a loving couple.

00:19:21.810 --> 00:19:22.690
General,

00:19:23.530 --> 00:19:24.930
you should stop messing around.

00:19:27.090 --> 00:19:28.210
It's still bright outside,

00:19:28.370 --> 00:19:30.370
but they're setting up barriers
in front of all the city's entrances.

00:19:30.930 --> 00:19:32.730
They only allow people
to enter without exiting.

00:19:33.650 --> 00:19:34.970
Dear, have you ever occurred to you

00:19:35.450 --> 00:19:36.730
that something is wrong?

00:19:38.850 --> 00:19:39.690
That's right.

00:19:40.450 --> 00:19:42.610
Do not interrupt us
from executing public duties.

00:19:49.210 --> 00:19:50.810
I'm Cheng Shi, the marquis of Quling.

00:19:51.610 --> 00:19:52.570
I have to return to the capital
under His Majesty's order.

00:19:53.050 --> 00:19:55.050
Officer, I hope you can
make things convenient for me.

00:19:55.450 --> 00:19:56.690
So, it's you, General Cheng.

00:19:56.690 --> 00:19:57.650
General, please forgive us.

00:19:57.650 --> 00:19:58.690
Our superior has given us an order.

00:19:58.690 --> 00:20:00.210
He said a fugitive was
trying to escape from the city.

00:20:00.490 --> 00:20:02.010
We are to seal off the city gates
under his order.

00:20:02.170 --> 00:20:04.130
No matter your rank

00:20:04.250 --> 00:20:05.450
or the reason you came here,

00:20:05.450 --> 00:20:06.650
we will have to examine each of you.

00:20:06.850 --> 00:20:07.610
General Cheng,

00:20:07.610 --> 00:20:08.370
please pardon me for the rudeness.

00:20:08.370 --> 00:20:09.970
Please wait until tomorrow.

00:20:09.970 --> 00:20:11.250
You may enter the city by then.

00:20:11.410 --> 00:20:12.330
Tomorrow?

00:20:12.970 --> 00:20:14.050
Officer, are you bullying me

00:20:14.410 --> 00:20:15.890
because of my low rank?

00:20:15.890 --> 00:20:16.770
I dare not do so.

00:20:16.970 --> 00:20:18.370
General, I'm just following orders here.

00:20:18.730 --> 00:20:19.570
General Cheng,

00:20:19.770 --> 00:20:21.850
you have to wait
no matter how high your rank is.

00:20:23.490 --> 00:20:25.170
General Ling has arrived!

00:20:25.570 --> 00:20:26.730
Hurry!

00:20:27.090 --> 00:20:29.170
Open the gates! Let them pass!

00:20:31.580 --> 00:20:36.540
(Ruyang)

00:20:56.130 --> 00:20:57.010
General Cheng.

00:20:58.090 --> 00:20:58.970
General Ling.

00:21:04.330 --> 00:21:05.530
Although the barriers are strict,

00:21:06.450 --> 00:21:08.010
have they ever arrested
a fugitive with it before?

00:21:08.170 --> 00:21:09.130
General Ling,

00:21:10.570 --> 00:21:11.290
I'm afraid not.

00:21:11.370 --> 00:21:12.290
I guessed as much.

00:21:13.610 --> 00:21:16.050
The fugitive escaped from a
guarded place like the imperial prison,

00:21:16.690 --> 00:21:18.050
let alone this stupid barrier.

00:21:18.890 --> 00:21:20.490
You guys are just making
things difficult for the people.

00:22:00.490 --> 00:22:01.530
We meet again,

00:22:02.050 --> 00:22:02.970
Young Lady Cheng.

00:22:03.610 --> 00:22:04.490
General Ling,

00:22:04.970 --> 00:22:06.090
how is your injury?

00:22:06.370 --> 00:22:08.490
Do you have military matters
to attend to today?

00:22:09.050 --> 00:22:10.010
It was just a minor wound.

00:22:11.090 --> 00:22:12.130
I had recovered long ago.

00:22:13.450 --> 00:22:14.410
And I didn't do

00:22:14.810 --> 00:22:15.970
any strenuous activities lately.

00:22:28.650 --> 00:22:29.410
Father,

00:22:30.010 --> 00:22:32.050
Third Uncle told you this before, right?

00:22:32.490 --> 00:22:33.570
Third Aunt and I were assaulted

00:22:33.570 --> 00:22:35.050
by bandits on our way to Hua County.

00:22:35.170 --> 00:22:36.530
General Ling was the one who saved us.

00:22:38.330 --> 00:22:40.490
General Ling, thank you for saving them,

00:22:40.650 --> 00:22:42.370
General Cheng, you do not
need to be this courteous.

00:22:43.810 --> 00:22:45.090
Young Lady Cheng has been through

00:22:45.650 --> 00:22:46.690
life-or-death situations
together with me.

00:22:47.730 --> 00:22:49.450
She had undressed me
and treated my wounds for me too.

00:22:50.650 --> 00:22:52.090
There's no need to be this courteous.

00:23:00.930 --> 00:23:02.330
Young Lady Cheng, you look pale.

00:23:03.170 --> 00:23:04.090
Did you fall sick?

00:23:05.690 --> 00:23:07.170
General, there's no need
to worry about me.

00:23:08.570 --> 00:23:09.770
The journey was arduous.

00:23:10.010 --> 00:23:11.330
That's why I look exhausted.

00:23:12.610 --> 00:23:13.730
Am I right, Yao?

00:23:14.650 --> 00:23:16.610
That's right.

00:23:17.530 --> 00:23:18.930
Since you're unwell,

00:23:20.370 --> 00:23:21.810
you should return early and rest.

00:23:23.370 --> 00:23:24.650
They've set up barriers
outside of the city.

00:23:25.170 --> 00:23:26.890
We don't know how long
we have to queue here.

00:23:28.050 --> 00:23:29.130
Let me

00:23:30.490 --> 00:23:31.930
escort you guys into the city.

00:23:40.930 --> 00:23:42.250
Make way!

00:23:42.530 --> 00:23:43.530
Make way!

00:25:17.210 --> 00:25:18.130
General Cheng,

00:25:19.690 --> 00:25:20.530
Madam Cheng,

00:25:21.010 --> 00:25:23.330
do not use the middle path
after entering the city.

00:25:23.330 --> 00:25:25.010
Take the side path of Yuyang
and you'll be fine.

00:25:25.370 --> 00:25:26.450
Thank you, General Ling.

00:25:54.850 --> 00:25:56.450
It's no wonder the ladies in the city

00:25:56.450 --> 00:25:57.770
fell for General Ling.

00:25:58.250 --> 00:25:59.250
Who knows when
we'll be able to enter the city

00:25:59.250 --> 00:26:00.730
without him?

00:26:01.770 --> 00:26:02.570
Yao,

00:26:02.890 --> 00:26:04.010
since we've entered the city,

00:26:04.010 --> 00:26:05.210
you should hurry back

00:26:05.210 --> 00:26:07.050
and tell your mother about us.

00:26:07.810 --> 00:26:09.250
Yes, I will go immediately.

00:26:10.010 --> 00:26:11.410
General Cheng, Madam Cheng,

00:26:12.130 --> 00:26:13.610
farewell.

00:26:24.610 --> 00:26:26.010
When will they arrive?

00:26:37.490 --> 00:26:38.610
Shi!

00:26:40.170 --> 00:26:41.250
My dear Shi!

00:26:41.250 --> 00:26:43.090
You heartless son!

00:26:43.090 --> 00:26:46.250
You actually still
remember your way back?

00:26:46.250 --> 00:26:48.210
You heartless son!

00:26:48.410 --> 00:26:51.490
You actually remember your way back?

00:26:51.490 --> 00:26:52.530
Mother,

00:26:52.810 --> 00:26:54.570
although you were born a farmer,

00:26:54.690 --> 00:26:56.570
you shouldn't treat me like a plow.

00:26:56.810 --> 00:26:58.370
I cannot withstand your grip strength.

00:26:58.370 --> 00:26:59.570
Look at you.

00:26:59.810 --> 00:27:02.530
Why didn't you come back after
completing the imperial task?

00:27:02.530 --> 00:27:03.970
Why did you go to Hua County?

00:27:04.050 --> 00:27:06.210
I heard that there were rebels
hiding within Hua County.

00:27:06.330 --> 00:27:07.530
How could I live

00:27:07.530 --> 00:27:09.770
if something happens to you?

00:27:10.810 --> 00:27:11.810
Mother,

00:27:12.330 --> 00:27:13.890
Niaoniao was caught in trouble too.

00:27:13.890 --> 00:27:14.930
Yes, Grandmother.

00:27:15.410 --> 00:27:17.290
I heard that Niaoniao
was assaulted by bandits

00:27:17.450 --> 00:27:18.610
and she almost lost her life.

00:27:18.810 --> 00:27:20.130
I know that. I've heard about it.

00:27:20.130 --> 00:27:22.290
I was planning to ask her about it.
Niaoniao.

00:27:24.250 --> 00:27:25.250
Let me ask you something.

00:27:25.370 --> 00:27:27.010
Were you by your third uncle's side

00:27:27.210 --> 00:27:28.570
when it happened?

00:27:29.290 --> 00:27:31.770
Was your third uncle
assaulted by bandits?

00:27:31.890 --> 00:27:34.770
Was he injured?

00:27:36.010 --> 00:27:38.490
Zhi is a scholar!

00:27:38.490 --> 00:27:40.450
His body is too weak for this!

00:27:40.610 --> 00:27:41.090
Cheng Zhi...

00:27:41.090 --> 00:27:43.810
Why did he have to go to that
stupid government office?

00:27:43.810 --> 00:27:46.170
His wife is useless as well!

00:27:46.330 --> 00:27:47.850
She can't even cook!

00:27:47.850 --> 00:27:48.850
Zhi is...

00:27:59.930 --> 00:28:00.730
Shi,

00:28:01.730 --> 00:28:04.010
why are you being so quiet?

00:28:05.970 --> 00:28:08.010
Could it be that you're keeping quiet

00:28:08.010 --> 00:28:09.770
because something happened to Zhi?

00:28:10.610 --> 00:28:12.290
God!

00:28:13.130 --> 00:28:16.210
Why do I have to witness
my son's funeral?

00:28:17.930 --> 00:28:18.930
Mother,

00:28:19.330 --> 00:28:20.970
don't spout nonsense.

00:28:21.210 --> 00:28:22.610
Cheng Zhi is doing fine.

00:28:22.730 --> 00:28:23.970
He's perfectly fine.

00:28:25.410 --> 00:28:27.010
If so, why did you keep quiet

00:28:27.010 --> 00:28:29.090
when I asked you so many questions?

00:28:29.090 --> 00:28:31.010
You asked me
so many questions in one go.

00:28:31.130 --> 00:28:33.770
Of course I have to think about it
before I answer your questions.

00:28:34.410 --> 00:28:35.170
Grandmother,

00:28:36.130 --> 00:28:37.090
I knew you would be worried about

00:28:37.290 --> 00:28:38.890
Third Uncle and Third Aunt.

00:28:39.570 --> 00:28:40.610
That's why I brought

00:28:40.610 --> 00:28:42.370
an eloquent maid back here.

00:28:42.370 --> 00:28:43.930
This maid has been staying together

00:28:43.930 --> 00:28:45.730
with them every day
for the past few months.

00:28:46.730 --> 00:28:48.810
I'm sure she knows a lot about them.

00:28:49.930 --> 00:28:50.810
From tomorrow onward,

00:28:50.810 --> 00:28:52.690
I'll ask her

00:28:52.690 --> 00:28:53.810
to tell you everything she knows.

00:28:54.690 --> 00:28:56.170
Why must we wait until tomorrow?

00:28:56.170 --> 00:28:58.610
Summon her into my room right now!

00:28:58.610 --> 00:29:00.650
I want her to tell me all about

00:29:00.650 --> 00:29:03.290
how much Zhi
has suffered all this while!

00:29:03.450 --> 00:29:05.490
Zhi is a scholar!

00:29:05.490 --> 00:29:07.890
He couldn't stand such suffering!

00:29:08.370 --> 00:29:09.890
Niaoniao, you're amazing indeed.

00:29:10.450 --> 00:29:12.090
You actually thought of
such a clever solution.

00:29:13.250 --> 00:29:14.770
Shaogong, you should
learn from me in the future.

00:29:15.450 --> 00:29:16.410
Impossible.

00:29:16.530 --> 00:29:17.850
I did a divination today.

00:29:17.970 --> 00:29:18.770
According to the divination,

00:29:18.770 --> 00:29:20.450
there will be a trifle in the family.

00:29:20.730 --> 00:29:22.290
But Grandmother has actually
stopped making a fuss.

00:29:22.810 --> 00:29:23.730
How is that possible?

00:29:23.930 --> 00:29:25.770
That means your divination
wasn't accurate.

00:29:25.930 --> 00:29:26.810
That's impossible.

00:29:28.050 --> 00:29:29.090
Why not?

00:29:29.090 --> 00:29:30.330
Niaoniao,

00:29:31.770 --> 00:29:32.730
follow me to my room.

00:29:33.250 --> 00:29:34.450
I have something to ask you.

00:29:40.730 --> 00:29:41.770
What did you do

00:29:41.770 --> 00:29:43.690
to make Mother angry again?

00:29:44.810 --> 00:29:47.050
I was acting cautiously all the way.

00:29:47.050 --> 00:29:48.450
I never made Mother angry.

00:29:52.370 --> 00:29:53.210
Father,

00:29:54.090 --> 00:29:55.330
the city gate's security
was tight today.

00:29:55.410 --> 00:29:57.090
Aren't you going
to discuss it with Mother?

00:29:57.370 --> 00:29:58.250
Why the rush?

00:29:58.690 --> 00:30:00.650
Even General Ling didn't
say much about it.

00:30:00.650 --> 00:30:02.210
It's obvious that it has nothing
to do with our family.

00:30:03.730 --> 00:30:05.170
You should hurry.

00:30:05.490 --> 00:30:06.970
Don't make your mother wait for you.

00:30:08.090 --> 00:30:08.850
But...

00:30:10.930 --> 00:30:11.890
Father?

00:30:17.450 --> 00:30:18.410
According to the divination,

00:30:18.570 --> 00:30:20.490
there will be a trifle in the family.

00:30:20.650 --> 00:30:22.090
I suppose this will be it.

00:30:23.250 --> 00:30:25.010
Poor Niaoniao.

00:30:33.090 --> 00:30:34.290
Tell me

00:30:34.490 --> 00:30:36.490
what you had done for
the past few months.

00:30:37.050 --> 00:30:38.090
Tell me what people you had met.

00:30:39.450 --> 00:30:40.810
Do not omit any detail.

00:30:43.170 --> 00:30:44.410
Must I tell you everything?

00:30:46.210 --> 00:30:47.570
But it goes a few months back.

00:30:52.210 --> 00:30:52.970
Fine.

00:30:54.850 --> 00:30:55.690
That day,

00:30:56.050 --> 00:30:58.370
Third Uncle, Third Aunt, and I
were on our journey to Hua County.

00:30:59.850 --> 00:31:00.730
Tell me

00:31:01.810 --> 00:31:02.650
about Ling Buyi first.

00:31:04.050 --> 00:31:05.850
I think Third Uncle had already
told you all about him.

00:31:06.170 --> 00:31:07.450
There was nothing much.

00:31:08.050 --> 00:31:10.130
Your third uncle didn't
tell me anything about

00:31:11.410 --> 00:31:13.090
undressing him,
treating his wounds for him,

00:31:13.530 --> 00:31:14.650
and going through
life-or-death situations with him.

00:31:14.930 --> 00:31:15.650
Father,

00:31:15.650 --> 00:31:17.610
you shouldn't listen to
Ling Buyi's exaggeration.

00:31:17.890 --> 00:31:19.770
We barely met each other.

00:31:19.770 --> 00:31:21.330
How many times did you guys meet then?

00:31:21.650 --> 00:31:22.650
Maybe three...

00:31:24.690 --> 00:31:25.490
Four...

00:31:26.970 --> 00:31:27.690
Five...

00:31:28.090 --> 00:31:28.810
Six...

00:31:30.530 --> 00:31:32.170
Seven or eight times, I guess.

00:31:37.930 --> 00:31:39.490
You guys were the ones
who asked me that question.

00:31:39.970 --> 00:31:41.930
You guys didn't want to listen to me
because it sounded indecent.

00:31:41.930 --> 00:31:42.530
If so, I'll keep quiet.

00:31:42.530 --> 00:31:43.770
Wait, I can't do that.

00:31:45.090 --> 00:31:47.090
What if you guys want to punish me
for keeping quiet?

00:31:47.970 --> 00:31:49.250
Just tell us everything.

00:31:49.450 --> 00:31:50.770
I will never give you a beating.

00:31:50.770 --> 00:31:51.890
You should promise
not to punish me either.

00:31:53.610 --> 00:31:54.850
Yao and I have

00:31:54.850 --> 00:31:56.210
many plans to execute together.

00:31:56.810 --> 00:31:58.370
You cannot punish me by asking me
to copy scriptures and so on.

00:31:58.490 --> 00:31:59.530
Why are you wasting time?

00:31:59.770 --> 00:32:00.810
Just cut to the chase.

00:32:01.770 --> 00:32:03.090
How are you so close

00:32:03.530 --> 00:32:04.850
with General Ling?

00:32:05.370 --> 00:32:07.170
He even escorted you to the city.

00:32:13.290 --> 00:32:14.290
Say,

00:32:14.450 --> 00:32:16.690
Zisheng removed the city's barrier

00:32:16.690 --> 00:32:19.370
and escorted Fourth Lady Cheng
into the city.

00:32:19.570 --> 00:32:21.410
He went after Fan Cang
after all that, right?

00:32:21.850 --> 00:32:22.650
That's right.

00:32:22.650 --> 00:32:25.530
Your Majesty, please don't
blame General Ling.

00:32:25.850 --> 00:32:27.650
He always abides by the rules.

00:32:27.890 --> 00:32:30.090
I'm afraid he did so

00:32:30.090 --> 00:32:32.530
because Lady Cheng
saved his life before.

00:32:32.810 --> 00:32:36.370
I'm afraid it's more than just that.

00:32:36.890 --> 00:32:39.250
What else is there?

00:32:43.970 --> 00:32:44.890
When Zisheng

00:32:45.410 --> 00:32:47.010
heard that Lady Cheng was in trouble,

00:32:47.410 --> 00:32:49.690
he risked his life

00:32:49.890 --> 00:32:51.370
to save her.

00:32:51.530 --> 00:32:54.250
And, he even ordered
the city guards to open the gate

00:32:54.410 --> 00:32:55.970
and escorted Lady Cheng
to the city personally

00:32:55.970 --> 00:32:58.370
when Fan Cang was on the loose.

00:33:02.690 --> 00:33:04.370
Who do you think Ling Zisheng is?

00:33:05.930 --> 00:33:06.770
There's definitely

00:33:07.530 --> 00:33:09.330
more to this than meets the eye.

00:33:10.090 --> 00:33:11.170
What do you mean?

00:33:11.730 --> 00:33:14.010
He and I always meet
each other in public.

00:33:14.010 --> 00:33:15.290
And, Yao was always around.

00:33:17.330 --> 00:33:19.690
Do you know who Ling Buyi is?

00:33:20.130 --> 00:33:21.290
I know he has plenty of titles.

00:33:21.970 --> 00:33:23.010
I cannot memorize all of them.

00:33:23.210 --> 00:33:25.330
You should stop hiding things from me.

00:33:25.450 --> 00:33:27.370
You knew that General Ling

00:33:27.810 --> 00:33:29.330
has ulterior motives.

00:33:29.330 --> 00:33:30.610
If so, Mother,

00:33:31.210 --> 00:33:33.170
tell me what his ulterior motive is.

00:33:36.450 --> 00:33:37.650
Your mother is saying

00:33:38.130 --> 00:33:39.090
that Ling Buyi

00:33:39.610 --> 00:33:41.010
has fallen for you.

00:33:44.130 --> 00:33:45.410
What a joke.

00:33:46.010 --> 00:33:48.450
You guys always criticize me
for my unruly behavior.

00:33:48.930 --> 00:33:51.410
Where did you get the confidence
that I made Ling Buyi fell for me?

00:33:51.410 --> 00:33:53.650
Even if Ling Buyi did fall for me,

00:33:53.970 --> 00:33:55.050
I only know

00:33:55.130 --> 00:33:57.330
that Yao was the only person
who proposed to me.

00:33:59.930 --> 00:34:01.130
Ling Buyi

00:34:01.290 --> 00:34:02.730
was either exterminating bandits

00:34:02.930 --> 00:34:04.490
or recuperating from his injuries.

00:34:04.650 --> 00:34:06.930
He doesn't have the time
to propose to you.

00:34:07.690 --> 00:34:09.010
I guess that's fate then.

00:34:09.730 --> 00:34:11.850
It seems that Yao is
a better candidate for me.

00:34:12.170 --> 00:34:13.170
If that's the case,

00:34:13.730 --> 00:34:15.930
you still can't let go of your marriage
with the Lou Family.

00:34:16.130 --> 00:34:18.130
Even if Ling Buyi falls for you,

00:34:18.730 --> 00:34:20.650
you still plan to get married
to Lou Yao, am I right?

00:34:20.890 --> 00:34:21.850
In the end,

00:34:22.210 --> 00:34:23.010
Mother, you're just unsatisfied

00:34:23.010 --> 00:34:24.330
that I'm getting married to Yao,
am I right?

00:34:24.970 --> 00:34:27.010
Even if Ling Buyi didn't fall for me,

00:34:27.010 --> 00:34:28.850
I assume you will order me
to give him a chance, right?

00:34:38.890 --> 00:34:39.770
Niaoniao,

00:34:41.290 --> 00:34:43.250
I'm not asking you to choose Ling Buyi.

00:34:44.210 --> 00:34:46.330
I just hope that you can
have a happy marriage.

00:34:47.010 --> 00:34:48.330
The second chamber of the Lou Family
has weak influence.

00:34:48.570 --> 00:34:49.610
Do you think Lou Yao can protect you

00:34:49.890 --> 00:34:51.410
if you get married to him?

00:34:52.450 --> 00:34:54.410
There are plenty of great men
in the world.

00:34:54.410 --> 00:34:56.090
Why are you in such a rush?

00:34:56.490 --> 00:34:58.570
You can wait and survey the field.

00:34:58.730 --> 00:34:59.890
Marriage

00:35:00.130 --> 00:35:01.210
isn't child's play.

00:35:02.010 --> 00:35:03.170
Precisely.

00:35:03.570 --> 00:35:04.650
Father, Mother,

00:35:04.970 --> 00:35:07.530
I know Third Uncle and Third Aunt
are a loving couple.

00:35:08.170 --> 00:35:09.650
I'm envious of them too.

00:35:11.050 --> 00:35:11.970
It's just

00:35:11.970 --> 00:35:13.290
that I knew I was born with bad luck.

00:35:14.170 --> 00:35:15.610
If I'm being picky about it

00:35:16.210 --> 00:35:17.290
and I miss out on Yao,

00:35:17.770 --> 00:35:19.050
it'll be difficult for me

00:35:20.330 --> 00:35:21.570
to find another good man like him.

00:35:23.450 --> 00:35:25.170
Mother, why don't
you imitate Grandmother

00:35:25.810 --> 00:35:27.170
and seek out an Old Deity?

00:35:27.810 --> 00:35:29.130
See if I can find someone else
more suitable for me

00:35:29.330 --> 00:35:31.450
if I miss out on Yao?

00:35:31.730 --> 00:35:33.170
Niaoniao, do not spout nonsense.

00:35:38.610 --> 00:35:40.530
It was my fault

00:35:41.210 --> 00:35:42.530
for keeping you at home all this while.

00:35:46.890 --> 00:35:48.090
You became unruly

00:35:48.770 --> 00:35:50.250
and stubborn

00:35:51.250 --> 00:35:53.650
after living all these years
without the teachings of an elder.

00:35:54.330 --> 00:35:55.450
Think about

00:35:55.890 --> 00:35:57.810
what you had done before this.

00:35:59.330 --> 00:36:01.690
You got into a fight
in Lord Ruyang's Mansion.

00:36:01.810 --> 00:36:03.490
You made the bridge collapse
in Wan's Residence.

00:36:03.610 --> 00:36:05.970
Look at all the ridiculous things
you've done.

00:36:06.490 --> 00:36:07.850
With your personality,

00:36:07.850 --> 00:36:08.970
do you think you can
lead a peaceful life

00:36:09.650 --> 00:36:11.450
after getting married
into the Lou Family?

00:36:14.490 --> 00:36:15.450
I could send you

00:36:15.770 --> 00:36:17.570
to your third uncle
when you were still here.

00:36:18.090 --> 00:36:19.530
But if you get married into
the Lou Family,

00:36:19.770 --> 00:36:21.930
I won't even have
the chance to protect you.

00:36:22.130 --> 00:36:24.050
Lou Yao has a weak personality as well.

00:36:25.570 --> 00:36:26.770
How could you

00:36:27.450 --> 00:36:28.810
escape unscathed?

00:36:29.890 --> 00:36:30.850
In the end,

00:36:32.770 --> 00:36:34.370
Mother, you just think that Lou Yao
isn't good enough for me.

00:36:35.970 --> 00:36:36.930
However, it's fine.

00:36:38.410 --> 00:36:40.050
Yao and I have already made a promise.

00:36:40.890 --> 00:36:42.250
In the future,
when he leaves the family,

00:36:42.410 --> 00:36:43.490
I will follow him.

00:36:44.410 --> 00:36:46.010
Mother, you can choose

00:36:46.890 --> 00:36:48.090
not to be concerned about me.

00:36:50.850 --> 00:36:51.770
Yao and I

00:36:52.290 --> 00:36:53.970
can escape the grasp of our parents too.

00:36:54.770 --> 00:36:55.810
We can soar freely in the sky.

00:36:58.210 --> 00:36:58.930
That's

00:37:00.170 --> 00:37:01.850
the marriage I want.

00:37:10.490 --> 00:37:11.250
Fine.

00:37:13.130 --> 00:37:13.930
Fine then.

00:37:16.170 --> 00:37:18.170
You can be together with Lou Yao.

00:37:19.730 --> 00:37:22.210
I hope you two can be loving forever

00:37:22.530 --> 00:37:23.650
without facing any obstacles in life.

00:37:24.370 --> 00:37:25.530
Your father and I

00:37:27.290 --> 00:37:28.770
will say no more about your marriage.

00:37:37.530 --> 00:37:38.410
Thank you, Father.

00:37:39.930 --> 00:37:40.850
Thank you, Mother.

00:37:41.970 --> 00:37:42.850
I shall take my leave.

00:38:12.170 --> 00:38:13.050
Yuanyi,

00:38:14.610 --> 00:38:15.690
Niaoniao is still young.

00:38:16.370 --> 00:38:17.250
She will appreciate

00:38:17.450 --> 00:38:19.530
your intention in the future.

00:38:22.530 --> 00:38:24.530
Besides, Mr. Lou isn't that bad.

00:38:25.130 --> 00:38:26.930
Although he has a weak personality,

00:38:27.410 --> 00:38:29.970
he leads an honest life.

00:38:30.810 --> 00:38:33.210
It's not necessarily a bad thing
for Niaoniao to be married to him.

00:38:37.250 --> 00:38:38.650
I just hoped

00:38:39.250 --> 00:38:40.690
that Niaoniao could
find herself a good husband.

00:38:42.210 --> 00:38:44.050
I don't want her to regret her life.

00:38:45.530 --> 00:38:47.650
But she just doesn't
understand my intention.

00:38:48.050 --> 00:38:49.330
She always talks back to me.

00:38:49.330 --> 00:38:50.650
Does she really think that
I'm trying to harm her?

00:38:52.090 --> 00:38:52.970
I know.

00:38:53.610 --> 00:38:55.370
You felt guilty toward her

00:38:55.770 --> 00:38:57.690
because of what you did in the past.

00:38:58.170 --> 00:39:00.210
You want to decide everything for her

00:39:00.570 --> 00:39:02.170
so that she won't need
to take the wrong path.

00:39:02.570 --> 00:39:03.690
However, who has the right

00:39:03.810 --> 00:39:07.210
to decide if a marriage is good or bad?

00:39:07.210 --> 00:39:09.290
Although I cannot say that for sure,

00:39:09.770 --> 00:39:11.050
I can be sure

00:39:11.290 --> 00:39:13.650
that the Lou Family is a tiger's den.

00:39:13.890 --> 00:39:14.930
I cannot just sit and do nothing

00:39:14.930 --> 00:39:16.610
while my daughter suffers

00:39:16.610 --> 00:39:17.770
when she gets married into their family.

00:39:18.690 --> 00:39:20.970
There are plenty of
good men in the world.

00:39:20.970 --> 00:39:22.330
It's not like she has no choice.

00:39:22.890 --> 00:39:24.490
Although the Lou Family
might be an extremely dangerous place,

00:39:25.570 --> 00:39:26.970
the Ling family

00:39:27.090 --> 00:39:29.610
is even worse.

00:39:30.050 --> 00:39:30.770
And now,

00:39:30.970 --> 00:39:33.490
Ling Buyi is bent on

00:39:33.650 --> 00:39:35.530
solving the case involving Fan Cang.

00:39:36.130 --> 00:39:38.530
I don't know how many more people
he will offend.

00:39:38.690 --> 00:39:39.650
I feel glad

00:39:39.650 --> 00:39:42.370
that Shaoshang isn't close with him.

00:39:45.130 --> 00:39:45.970
All right.

00:39:46.490 --> 00:39:47.490
Don't be sad.

00:39:50.010 --> 00:39:50.890
Dear.

00:39:58.170 --> 00:39:59.050
Your Majesty,

00:39:59.410 --> 00:40:01.570
no matter how excellent Lady Cheng is,

00:40:01.810 --> 00:40:03.890
she's engaged to the son
of the Lou Family.

00:40:04.290 --> 00:40:05.090
I just feel sorry

00:40:05.450 --> 00:40:06.970
for Zisheng.

00:40:07.210 --> 00:40:09.210
He was traumatized
by the notion of marriage

00:40:09.210 --> 00:40:10.850
ever since his father
married Madam Chunyu

00:40:11.250 --> 00:40:13.890
and drove his mother mad.

00:40:14.450 --> 00:40:15.730
He would rather risk

00:40:16.090 --> 00:40:17.490
being branded an unfilial son

00:40:17.650 --> 00:40:19.650
than to keep in touch
with Marquis Chengyang.

00:40:19.890 --> 00:40:21.850
My subjects even slandered him
for being an unfilial child.

00:40:23.410 --> 00:40:24.370
They didn't know

00:40:24.890 --> 00:40:26.290
that he was the epitome

00:40:26.410 --> 00:40:30.130
of filial piety in the world.

00:40:31.810 --> 00:40:33.410
Say, although Marquis Chengyang

00:40:33.650 --> 00:40:35.850
had two wives,

00:40:36.010 --> 00:40:37.850
he only had one son.

00:40:38.010 --> 00:40:39.410
If General Ling

00:40:39.410 --> 00:40:40.810
could compromise with that fact,

00:40:40.970 --> 00:40:43.690
he would've enjoyed
all the riches in the world.

00:40:44.050 --> 00:40:45.890
However, he remained unswayed

00:40:46.050 --> 00:40:48.010
because of his love for his mother.

00:40:49.090 --> 00:40:49.850
I

00:40:50.330 --> 00:40:52.410
owed the Huo clan my life.

00:40:53.210 --> 00:40:55.050
Even if I were to
be biased toward Zisheng,

00:40:55.330 --> 00:40:57.770
I could never compensate him
for what happened back then.

00:40:59.610 --> 00:41:00.610
Who would've expected

00:41:00.690 --> 00:41:01.610
my subjects

00:41:01.730 --> 00:41:03.370
to be so jealous of him?

00:41:04.850 --> 00:41:06.690
All of them tried to slander him

00:41:07.010 --> 00:41:08.370
and malign him.

00:41:08.770 --> 00:41:09.890
Look at all these reports.

00:41:10.250 --> 00:41:11.610
It's obvious that Fan Cang escaped
from prison

00:41:11.890 --> 00:41:13.970
due to the negligence
of the Ministry of Justice.

00:41:14.170 --> 00:41:16.570
Zisheng was merely assisting them.

00:41:16.850 --> 00:41:18.170
However, all of them

00:41:18.290 --> 00:41:19.450
were rushing to brand him

00:41:19.690 --> 00:41:20.930
with the crime of negligence

00:41:20.930 --> 00:41:22.450
even though he barely
came back for a few days.

00:41:22.850 --> 00:41:23.610
If so,

00:41:24.210 --> 00:41:27.170
will General Ling
be able to capture Fan Cang?

00:41:27.330 --> 00:41:28.170
I believe in him,

00:41:30.170 --> 00:41:31.370
just like

00:41:32.330 --> 00:41:34.330
how I believed in Huo back then.
