[Perfect Couple]
Episode Thirty-Four
How was it?
Do you have any news of your mother?
Not yet.
But judging from what happened in the past few days
this matter is getting more and more frightening.
What's wrong?
The midwife was the one who helped deliver Jin Yuan Bao.
My mother gave birth to Jin Yuan Bao.
They both know the truth about Jin Yuan Bao's birth.
They both know Madam Jin snatched Jin Yuan Bao from my mother
and took him as her own.
Right after the midwife was kidnapped
my mother was abducted as well.
The midwife was taken to the Capital and so was my mother.
How can there be such a coincidence?
You mean to say that
it's the same gang of people who abducted them both?
And they are all from the Capital?
Not only are they from the same gang I suspect the same person behind all this.
- Who do you suspect? - Give this a thought.
Why would Madam Jin panic when I asked Yuan Bao to investigate
the abduction of the midwife?
Why would she stop Yuan Bao from investigating and
finding out who abducted the midwife?
Why was Madam Jin at the scene
when the midwife was murdered
with the pillow in her hands looking extremely frantic?
And I saw it with my own eyes that
Madam Jin visited the midwife's son at his home.
She even gave them money to get them to keep quiet.
Did you see that with your own eyes?
I saw and heard it!
It can't be wrong!
So you suspect Madam Jin is the one who abducted your mother?
I don't just suspect her.
It must be her!
She killed the midwife.
Jin Yuan Bao rescued the midwife
so she was worried that the secret would come out and killed the midwife.
If Madam Jin can abduct the midwife she could abduct my mother as well.
If she dares to kill the midwife she could kill my mother as well!
She has my mother's life in her hands.
She is one cold-blooded and cruel woman.
In order to cover up what she did 20 years ago
she would do anything!
- No way! - What are you going to do?
Don't be so irrational.
I'm going to talk to her.
Qi Ling, you have to stay calm.
You mustn't act recklessly.
These is just speculation.
I can't wait even for a minute!
What if my mother is in danger?
If Madam Jin really planned to shut her up for good
she'd have killed the midwife right away.
But she didn't do it throughout the years.
Who else could have done it besides her?
Who could have killed the midwife right under our noses?
Who could have tricked my mother into leaving with them?
Qi Ling, this is a matter of life and death!
You must think very carefully.
If Madam Jin didn't do any of this
you'd have devastated Yuan Bao.
How could you still stay together?
If it hadn't been for Yuan Bao I'd have confronted Madam Jin!
Qi Ling, even if Madam Jin is truly behind all this
you can't act rashly and alert your enemy.
Isn't that so?
What should I do then?
Where is he?
Why are you following me around so sneakily?
When did I follow you around sneakily?
Right?
It's actually because I saw you looking really disturbed these days.
Look! The corners of your eyes have gone dark.
From my professional point of view
this is an early symptom of schizophrenia.
Someone has to keep an eye on you.
What will happen if there isn't anyone to watch you when you act up?
Yuan Bao, don't blame me for not reminding you
or you'll say I don't care about you.
This is medicine I have specially prescribed for you.
You must take it regularly.
I shouldn't be the one to watch you.
Yu Qi Ling should be the one.
But Xiao Xuan told me Yu Qi Ling's mother has gone missing?
No wonder Qi Ling doesn't smile anymore.
She's definitely anxious now her mother has gone missing.
You should be the one to help her but you got sick now.
I'm not sick. Stop nagging.
Don't be angry.
I know that you're in a foul mood.
Everyone calls you the best detective in the whole world.
You feel ashamed that it took you so long to find a missing person, right?
Right, so why don't you, the best doctor in the whole world tell me
how the midwife died?
That?
She must have been suffocated to death!
Who doesn't know that?
Could you give me some constructive suggestions?
Constructive suggestions?
I think she was suffocated to death by a pillow!
Is the killer right-handed or left-handed?
That? That is quite difficult to know.
Let me think about it.
Stop thinking. Don't bother me if you don't know the answer.
You're such a nag.
You're the one who can't find the killer so why take it out on me?
You should take the medicine!
Mother...
Mother?
Mother!
Mother?
- Ling Er! - Mother!
Mother!
I've finally found you! You're back!
Are you all right, Mother?
Silly child, don't I look all right?
Mother, it's great that you're all right.
What are you doing here?
Mother!
Qi Ling!
- Cousin Wen Zhao. - It's late. Why aren't you in bed?
I couldn't sleep.
Have you been crying?
Have you argued with Yuan Bao again?
What is it then? You seem to have been so down these days.
My mother has been abducted.
Your mother?
How did this happen? Do you have any clues?
I only know that a gang of bad people abducted her to the Capital.
But I don't know where they are keeping her hostage.
Get Yuan Bao to investigate this case.
He said that he's already looked into this matter.
But there are no leads.
He's the best detective in the Capital.
If your mother is already in the Capital
how is it possible there are no leads at all?
It's like a needle in a haystack.
It's bound to take some time before he can find her.
Could your mother have any enemies here in the Capital?
Otherwise, why would anyone abduct her to the Capital?
My mother is just a peasant woman from the mountains.
What enemies could she possibly have?
That's true.
It is indeed very strange.
Who is trying to make your life difficult?
If this is because of your identity
then they abducted your mother to the Capital
to reveal that you are the fake Jiang Xiao Xuan.
But there aren't a lot of people who know about this secret.
There are me, Yuan Bao Gu Chang Feng, Jiang Xiao Xuan
Auntie Gu... and...
and Madam Jin.
Yuan Bao, you, Chang Feng
and Xiao Xuan won't say a word.
Could it be Madam Jin?
It couldn't be Madam Jin. How could it be her?
Madam Jin is the head of this manor.
How could she possibly do such a despicable thing?
Moreover, she kept Empress Dowager in the dark about the fake marriage.
It couldn't be her.
And she has no reason to abduct your mother, right?
But if she isn't the culprit
who else could it be?
I'm fine now.
Go and have some rest.
I'll get going.
Young Mistress! It's so late now. Is something the matter?
I need to see Madam Jin.
- She is already asleep. - She is asleep, Young Mistress.
Madam Jin is already asleep? She could fall asleep?
Young Mistress, Madam Jin has really fallen asleep now.
I'm going in right now. Get out of my way.
Young Mistress! You can't go in!
- Madam Jin is really asleep! - Let me in right now!
Let her in.
- Yes. - Yes.
Although you're a wild girl who comes from nowhere
you've married into Jin Manor for enough time
you should at least know some manners by now.
Why have you barged in here in the middle of the night?
Hand over my mother.
Your mother?
Yes, my mother.
Don't tell me that you don't know who she is.
I just learned who you are some time ago.
How would I know who your mother is?
My mother is my foster mother.
This wild girl here was brought home and raised by her.
She's treated me much better than my biological mother.
What has your foster mother got to do with me?
She's been living in E-Mei Mountain all these years.
She's led a very peaceful life.
But she was suddenly abducted a few days ago.
She was even brought here to the Capital.
Aren't you the one who abducted her?
How ridiculous.
Why would I abduct your mother?
I don't even know who your mother is.
You know very clearly.
You've really made me very confused.
Tell me who your mother is.
Only then would I know if I have abducted her.
Qi Ling!
Stop pretending to be baffled.
Do need me to remind you of the despicable deed you committed 20 years ago?
You weren't even born 20 years ago.
What does anything that happened 20 years ago have to do with you?
You've abducted my mother because of what happened 20 years ago, right?
Who on earth is your mother?
Stop pretending!
Hand over my mother!
Are you crazy?
Why are you disturbing my mother from her asleep in the middle of the night?
I have some concerns on my mind.
I couldn't sleep so I came to talk to Mother.
Why can't you speak to her in the morning?
You have to come over at such a late hour?
Mother was out this morning.
I couldn't find her.
I became more and more uneasy tonight.
So I came over here.
All right, what is it then?
Mother, I'm sorry.
This is Qi Ling's fault.
I apologize to you on her behalf.
Yuan Bao, you don't have to blame Qi Ling for this.
I was the one who summoned her in.
I think that as a family we shouldn't bear any grudges.
It can't be good if we still have any misunderstanding.
All right then. Any misunderstanding should be cleared up by now.
Mother, we'll go back to bed.
Go back to bed then.
Let's go.
Why are you acting up in the middle of the night?
Although Mom found an excuse for you I still don't believe that.
Speak up. What are you doing here at such a late hour?
Nothing.
There are just some things I couldn't figure out so I came to talk to her.
With regards to your mother's case stop going around without a clue.
Didn't I tell you I'd do my best?
And I'd like you to stop bringing up the matter of the midwife to Mother.
Anyway, anything that I say and do is all wrong.
You won't believe anything I say, right?
What? This wild girl is Wang Hui Lan's adopted daughter?
It must be so.
Otherwise, why would she question me about what happened 20 years ago?
Oh my goodness.
When you took away Wang Hui Lan's son 20 years ago
you told her very clearly
that she's never ever shown up in the past 20 years.
I thought this a closed case
but little did we expect her to still keep him on her mind.
She's even sent this wild girl to expose the past?
I've really underestimated this wild girl, Yu Qi Ling.
And I've totally underestimated Wang Hui Lan.
I've actually long suspected that Yu Qi Ling
didn't marry into our family by mistake.
She made plans to do so.
I've now confirmed this it truly the case.
She's done everything she can to expose what happened 20 years ago.
She has been waiting for a chance and managed to marry into Jin Manor
as Jiang Xiao Xuan.
She had also planned that trip back to her own home.
She had made plans to take Yuan Bao back to meet Wang Hui Lan.
We don't know why they hadn't reunited during that visit.
If this is truly what Yu Qi Ling has in mind
then she is really scary and cunning.
I haven't slept in peace for the past 20 years.
I've had nightmares every day worrying about Wang Hui Lan
showing up at our door one day to take my son away from me.
I became a vegetarian, prayed to the gods every day and did more charity work.
I did all that hoping what I fear will not happen.
But the day has now arrived.
Will Yu Qi Ling tell Yuan Bao about this?
I don't think she has.
Yuan Bao suddenly barged in while we were still talking.
I stopped talking about it.
Yu Qi Ling didn't carry on with the conversation.
I reckon she hasn't planned to reveal this secret yet.
That's good.
Even if she didn't reveal it today it doesn't mean she won't some day!
Xiao Cui, this is like a sword hanging over my head.
It could drop at anytime.
Yes...
It's scary when I think about it.
There's something that's even scarier.
Midwife Liu was abducted to the Capital
and suddenly murdered.
Then Wang Hui Lan was also abducted to the Capital.
Who do you think has abducted them?
What is their intention?
Is this person also after the secret from 20 years ago?
Yes, this person must be trying to stir up trouble with Yuan Bao's birth.
The ultimate goal must be to destroy Jin Family with this secret.
Who could it be?
Who would have such a hatred towards Jin Family?
It might not be hatred.
It could be a scheme to obtain power.
Someone is eyeing the power of Jin Manor.
Someone is eyeing the Bureau of Weaponry that Jin Family is in charge of.
Who is keeping an eye on the marriage bond between the Jins and Jiangs?
If that is so... Could it be Second Prince?
Who else could it be?
It's definitely him.
Losing Jin Manor to him isn't the biggest problem.
But the truth that Yuan Bao isn't my biological son
would result in a lèse-majesté crime of swapped birth identity.
If so, Yuan Bao might lose his life.
The sole purpose of my life
is to live for my son, Yuan Bao.
If I should lose Yuan Bao...
If I lose Yuan Bao
I have no reason to stay alive.
You're right, My Lady.
You mustn't let them get away with this.
We're running out of time.
We must send out our best bodyguards to look for Wang Hui Lan.
We have to find Wang Hui Lan before the secret of Yuan Bao's birth is exposed.
I understand.
I'll make the arrangements right away.
I was too careless and allowed Yu Qi Ling to steal Yuan Bao's heart.
Yuan Bao is completely obsessed with her.
If she should reveal the secret of his birth
it would all be over.
Unless Young Master does not believe her.
Look at how Yuan Bao is now.
How could he not believe her?
You've just given me an idea.
As long as Yuan Bao doesn't believe her
we'll be safe.
My Lady, you mean...
I can't lose my child, Yuan Bao.
If anyone tries to take him away from me
that is impossible.
Now that this has happened
don't blame me for being ruthless.
Greetings, Mother.
Did you argue with Qi Ling when you went back to your chamber?
Mother, don't worry.
Qi Ling's temper is like the weather in June.
It comes and goes very quickly.
We didn't argue.
Did Qi Ling say anything to you?
She didn't say anything.
We went straight to bed.
Yuan Bao, I gave it some thought for a long time last night.
I have indeed done wrong in some ways.
Mother, what could you have done wrong?
She is a peasant who grew up in the wilderness.
Therefore it's normal that she lacks manners.
But I was a bit too impatient with her.
I wasn't thoughtful enough.
Mother, you're so open-minded and forgiving.
I'm the one who failed to educate my wife properly.
I'm very ashamed.
She might have many faults
but she is kind at heart.
She doesn't have a bad personality either.
But she's too strong-minded.
I have to be a good mother-in-law.
You can't also be torn between the both of us.
A family should be harmonious.
Don't you think so?
Mother, I know that you're not pleased with Qi Ling's background and manners.
But like what you just said
she is very pure and kind.
She will be filial to you.
It's because her mother has gone missing
that she has become so impatient.
Don't worry, I won't bear any grudges against her.
As long as you get along well
it doesn't matter if I have to feel a bit aggrieved.
Mother, please don't say that.
You're both the most important people in my life.
I don't want her to be looked down upon.
But at the same time, I wouldn't want you to feel aggrieved.
Don't worry.
I can definitely educate my own wife.
I'll ask her to come and apologize to you right away.
Yuan Bao, no matter what I do
I'm doing it for you and Jin Manor.
I'm not going. You can go alone if you want to.
Let's go.
What are you doing?
She stayed up all night thinking about our argument.
Is it so hard for you to apologize to her?
Why should I apologize?
Since we've been married
I haven't expected you to have my best interests at heart at all times
but you must at least have a basic respect for my mother.
You accused my mother without any reason.
Not only did she not blame you
but she was so thoughtful of us.
Shouldn't you control your temper?
Since you've married into Jin Family
you're a member of our family.
Are you always going to fight with Mother?
Wouldn't you feel bad if I'm always torn between the both of you?
You both are who I love the most.
I hope that you can get along well.
Come on.
Come with me to see Mother.
Let's go.
Mother, Qi Ling is here to greet you.
Have a seat.
Yuan Bao, don't make things difficult for Qi Ling.
Qi Ling's mother is missing.
Anyone in her predicament would be very anxious.
If I were to go missing
wouldn't you be anxious?
Put yourself in her shoes.
You have to be more understanding of her.
I should be the one to apologize.
I didn't mean to set myself against Mother deliberately.
I just really wanted to find out where my mother is.
Qi Ling, I truly have no idea where your mother is.
But I haven't been too caring towards you.
This is my fault.
I apologize to you.
Mother, don't be like this.
Honestly speaking, I dote on my child the most.
Yuan Bao has chosen you
and you're a good child.
'Love him, love his dog.' I'll accept you as his wife.
If we have a misunderstanding
it's all fine once we have cleared it up between us, right?
We are family.
We're going to lead a life together.
I'm just as anxious as you are knowing your mother is missing.
Yuan Bao, you really have to investigate this quickly.
Don't worry, Mother.
I'll speed up the investigation.
Qi Ling, look how understanding my mother is.
All she has done is for the family.
You should know what to do now.
Mother, I did wrong the other day.
I was too impulsive and talked back to you.
I apologize to you.
All right, all right.
Sit down.
Let's have tea together.
Xiao Xuan, don't go!
- Go away! - Xiao Xuan!
Xiao Xuan! Xiao Xuan, let me explain it to you!
Open the door, Xiao Xuan!
What happened?
Chang Feng, you're really something.
You could even annoy such a gentle and virtuous soul as Miss Jiang.
All right! Stop being sarcastic!
Tell me what I should do!
What should you do?
It's my mother's fault.
She keeps picking on Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan is so annoyed she won't talk to me.
Your mother can even find fault with the Prime Minister's daughter?
My mother said our family is too inferior to hers.
You are too dumb.
It comes down to the men to help with the harmonious relationship
between the daughter-in-law and mother-in-law.
What should I do to help?
Teach me!
As men, we have to appease both of them
and coordinate from both sides.
You have to lie to both of them, get it?
- Fresh flowers! - Great jewelry!
- Come take a look! - Fresh flowers!
Great jewelry! Take a look!
- Flowers! Take a look! - Great jewelry!
Come and take a look!
Fresh vegetables!
Sir, buy one if you like it.
Let me have a look.
Our accessories are of the best quality.
How much are these?
Sir, you have such great taste.
That's our most popular item.
It's not expensive. It's only five taels.
Just five taels?
I can get a lot of herbs with five taels.
Could you make it cheaper?
This... I can't sell it cheaper.
These earrings are so pretty.
Any woman would fall in love with them.
Any woman would fall in love with them?
I'll get them!
I'm sure you'll be pleased with them.
Mother! Here.
Look at these.
Do you find them pretty?
These... Jiang Xiao Xuan bought these especially for you.
These... How much did she spend in these?
Anyway, it cost her a lot.
I can tell that you're lying when you stutter so much.
This is such a girly accessory.
She bought it but then she didn't like it.
So she pretended to be nice and gave them to me, right?
How could that be possible, Mother?
These are really expensive.
It's enough to pay for Korean ginseng ten kilograms of Angelica root
and three kilograms of vermillion ink.
I can tell that you bought them.
How dare you lie to me that the girl from nowhere bought them for me.
What girl from nowhere?
She is the respectable daughter of the Jiang manor.
She no longer is.
Take what you bought away with you and leave now.
I'm very busy right now so stop being so annoying.
- Leave now! Quickly! - Mother!
Go away quickly!
Xiao Xuan!
Look! Aren't these pretty?
My mother bought them for you.
They are very expensive!
Try them on.
It's impossible that your mother bought those for me.
This morning, your mother just said I came from nowhere.
Isn't that so?
No... this... my mother...
because... she... she said that...
She felt guilty and...
She bought your earrings... to apologize... apologize...
Chang Feng, didn't anyone tell you that you stutter when you lie?
I... Am I... stuttering?
Your mother was right.
I do come from nowhere.
You don't have to apologize on behalf of your mother.
Xiao Xuan, could you try to get along with my mother for my sake?
Since you've already said so
as long as your mother doesn't make things hard for me
what else have I got to say?
Xiao Xuan, you're so lovely.
You have news of your mother?
I just heard from Yuan Bao.
He was out investigating with his informants.
He isn't sure yet. They only found someone who looked similar.
It's better to have some news than nothing at all.
Young Mistress.
Auntie Gu.
Madam Jin asked me to bring some snacks here for you.
How would I dare to trouble you and Madam Jin with this matter?
I should be the one to take her snacks instead.
How could you have been able to do all this?
Young Mistress, please don't mind me.
I was just joking.
Moreover, there are so many people here in Jin Manor.
How could we let you do that in person?
It's more important to mean what you say or do.
Madam Jin knows that you're very devoted to Young Master
so she treats you well, right?
Young Master is back.
I'll walk Auntie Gu out.
Young Master.
Look how nice my mother treats you.
Are you all right?
All right now, let go of me now. I can walk on my own.
The Prime Minister's daughter won't have to assist me.
You're right.
I'm not some wealthy daughter of the Prime Minister anymore.
I'm but an ordinary person.
Auntie Gu, I think that you're absolutely right.
What lies in the heart of a person is the most important trait.
I'll lay my heart out completely bare before your eyes.
Chang Feng is truly a very nice person.
I never wanted to be the Prime Minister's daughter and enjoy any luxury.
I just want to lead a simple life with him
and be filial to you. I hope that you can give me a chance to do that.
Madam Jin is very forgiving so she doesn't bear any grudges.
But I'm not Madam Jin.
Chang Feng isn't Yuan Bao either.
Allow me to reconsider this.
Auntie, please don't worry.
I won't make Chang Feng get torn between us.
My Lady, I've taken the snacks to Young Mistress as you've ordered.
- Was Yuan Bao present? - Yes, he was.
I only said those words to her when I saw Young Master enter the chamber.
- Did they look happy? - Not only were they happy
but they were also very moved.
Well-done.
Keep that up tomorrow.
Yes, My Lady.
It seems to be going well. Auntie Gu even smiled at you.
She has such a bad temper and likes to scold others.
I never have been bothered with her in the past.
Yes, I never would have bothered with this sort of people in the past either.
But I have figured out a principle these days.
Give this a thought. Jin Yuan Bao is so ill-tempered.
And I even talked back to his mother. If it had been someone else
he would have punched them in the face.
But he could still put up with me.
Are you blissfully whining?
He cares about you.
Yes, that's why I have to start learning to love what he loves.
I have to learn how to put up with some matters.
But that Gu Chang Feng of yours
has already been enjoying such a privilege?
What are you talking about?
What am I talking about?
So I was mistaken?
Poor Chang Feng, he was born a nerd.
He's born to bullied.
Yet you still bully him so often.
How do you have the heart to do so?
Me?
I bully him?
Yes, you love him so dearly.
You...
Honestly, you haven't come up with a way to deal with Auntie Gu
so what are you going to do?
Yes, I don't know either.
I've never been in such a situation before.
Chang Feng!
- Xiao Xuan? - Chang Feng.
- What brings you here? - Look how warm you are.
I'm not too warm.
Come and have a seat here.
Here, this is for your mother.
This is for my mother?
Xiao Xuan, you're so nice.
What?
Have I usually been mean?
No, that's not what I mean.
I mean that you're so thoughtful
I'm especially moved by you now.
These days, I see your mother rushing in and out with Madam Jin.
Even with a sedan chair, it must still be tiring for someone of her age.
As her son, you should give her a massage.
But you can tell that I'm very clumsy.
I wouldn't know how much strength I should use so why don't you
give my mother a massage instead?
How about that?
Your mother might not like me.
You're right.
You've never served anyone before so you wouldn't know how to do it.
You mustn't say that!
Otherwise, don't tell her that it was a gift from me.
I really am the luckiest man on Earth right now.
Qi Ling!
Qi Ling...
Where have you been?
Where else could I go?
I've gone looking for my mother.
Didn't I tell you to stay home?
How can I possibly be calm and stay put here?
Since you can't stay put, why don't you give me a massage?
I'm joking. I'll give you a massage.
Come here.
I've already told you
not to be so anxious but you just won't listen.
How can you find her when you've been running around like a headless chicken?
Listen, I've investigated many cases.
People who are hidden away are indeed tricky to find.
I'm sure that those kidnappers will expose their tracks soon.
Don't run around anymore.
Can you be better than me in finding people?
I just really can't stay put.
I might as well go for a walk.
All right, just be careful.
Come and get me if you need any help.
Is this comfortable?
Young Master!
Young Master, Young Mistress.
Look how lovely Madam Jin is.
Madam Jin knows that Young Mistress has been having a hard time these days.
She had the kitchen staff stew some chicken broth especially for you.
It's extra nourishment for Young Mistress.
Auntie Gu, please thank Mother for me.
Yes. I'll take my leave now.
Thank you, Auntie Gu.
How is it? Are you moved?
I told you my mother is the most understanding person.
Yes, you're right about everything.
That's right.
Mother, you've asked for me?
- You are all dismissed. - Yes.
What's the occasion, Mother?
Qi Ling, come over here.
Your mother is in my hands.
What did you just say?
You have my mother? You really are the one who abducted her?
I did it.
I'm the one who abducted Wang Hui Lan.
It's such a pity.
As her daughter, there is nothing that you can do to help her.
What do you intend to do to my mother?
What do I intend to do to your mother?
In terms of her life that isn't an issue for the moment.
As for the rest I haven't thought it through.
- What are you going to do to my mother? - Young Mistress!
- What are you doing? - What are you trying to do?
Young Mistress, let go of her hand.
Young Mistress!
- Release my mother! - Let go of her hand!
Let go of me!
Release my mother! What do you want?
- Release my mother! - What are you doing?
When are you going to release my mother?
What are you talking about?
I don't understand this at all.
You're such a hypocrite.
You pretended to apologize to me and treat me well!
If you don't hand over my mother to me I won't let you off!
Have you gone crazy?
Yuan Bao, Qi Ling is your wife.
How could you hit her?
Young Mistress, Madam Jin is too old to be harassed like this.
Listen up. If you dare to lay a finger on my mother again
I won't let you off.
Mother, let me walk you back to your chamber.
Let's go.
Young Mistress! Young Mistress!
Where are you going?
I'm going to look for my mother.
Don't.
You won't help much even if you look for her now.
What happened to your mouth?
What happened?
Yuan Bao hit you?
He actually hit me.
