[Perfect Couple]
Episode Thirty-Five
What happened?
Yuan Bao hit you?
He actually hit me.
I don't know what happened exactly.
But no matter what happened Yuan Bao shouldn't have hit you.
You're his wife so he should treat you lovingly.
You've done so much for him.
How could he bear to hit you?
What happened?
Tell me about it.
Madam Jin has abducted my mother.
I don't know where she's hiding her.
Yuan Bao doesn't believe me.
He even said I've gone crazy.
How did this happen?
I mean... Madam Jin is a sensible woman so why would she abduct your mother?
Even you don't believe me.
She just told me that in person.
She's been so nice to me these days by apologizing to me and sending me food.
She was only doing that to get me off my guard
and put on this act for Jin Yuan Bao.
So?
Yuan Bao hit you because he didn't believe your words?
Whenever anything has to do with his mother
he won't believe in anyone else.
Yuan Bao doesn't believe you but I do.
I know you wouldn't accuse anyone without any reason.
There must be a secret behind all this.
Whatever the situation I have some friends in the Capital.
You could let me know if you need any help.
I suspect Madam Jin might also be behind the death of the midwife.
If the midwife hadn't been silenced I wouldn't be so nervous now.
They have my mother and I don't know what they will do to her.
I'm really scared that my mother will be in danger.
Why do you think that Madam Jin would harm your mother?
Why would she do that?
My mother worked so hard to raise me.
If it hadn't been for my mother
I'd have starved to death.
I'm living a life of luxury here
with great accommodations and food.
But I don't even know where my mother is right now.
I'm not fit to be her daughter!
You don't have to say that.
Madam Jin said that she has your mother
but it's still uncertain if she really does have your mother in her hands.
- But... - Listen to me.
Let's get back to the question we were discussing earlier.
Why would Madam Jin treat your mother that way?
And why would you think that Madam Jin would want to hurt your mother?
It's because...
If you have a reason you can't reveal to anyone
I'll understand if you choose not to tell me about it.
But I'd like you to know that
I believe you.
I'm sorry but I can't tell you the reason.
I understand.
I once had my mother.
If this happened to my mother
I'd have risked my life and given up everything
including losing my sanity.
Since my mother went missing
I haven't been able to sleep well at all.
As long as I could find my mother
I'd be willing to do anything.
But I don't understand why Jin Yuan Bao fails to understand that.
Stop fighting!
Yuan Bao!
Stop fighting!
Stop harassing her.
Do you get what I mean?
Listen up. If you're mean to her someone will be nice to her.
Even so, it won't be you.
Get lost.
Get lost!
Why are you looking at me like that?
You don't believe a word I say anyway.
So he believes you?
That's why you approached him?
- Yes. - Yes?
Yes? Is this how you like it?
What are you doing?
You prefer it like this?
What are you doing? Go away!
Let go of me!
Mother.
My Lady.
What happened?
Why are you hurt?
I'm all right. I tripped and hurt myself.
Come over here.
Here, have a seat.
This is my son's favorite mung bean cakes.
Thank you, Mother.
Your review of current affairs was too well-written when you were young
so your tutor said that you plagiarized it.
You felt so wronged then
and came over to ask me for snacks.
It's exactly like what you're doing now.
Mother, Qi Ling was not herself today.
She had a conflict with you.
I apologize to you on her behalf.
I don't know what's gotten into her.
There hasn't been any news since her mother went missing.
Perhaps she's driven by despair.
That's why she started getting suspicious of everyone.
Mother, please don't take it to heart.
I won't hold it against her.
But she is the one who is holding a grudge towards me.
What am I to do, Yuan Bao?
I know that you're very affectionate with each other.
But this wife of yours is really very impulsive and straight-forward.
If she continues to act in this manner
we will have such a hard time here in the Manor.
Mother, haven't you said so yourself
Qi Ling is very open and candid.
Perhaps, after her mother is found
it will be all be fine.
I hope that her mother can be found soon and we can all be at ease.
Yuan Bao was so furious at her after that show we deliberately put on this morning
But in less than two hours
he came back to beg me to forgive her
and not to hold a grudge against her.
His face was bruised so it's obvious that Yu Qi Ling taught him a lesson.
Why is Yuan Bao so devoted to her?
He fell in love with her and he's fine with everything that she does.
Nothing else matters to him.
Young Master is a good child who is down-to-earth.
He's very good and focused at everything that he does.
Yuan Bao is too ernest.
I can't let a scourge like Yu Qi Ling stay by his side any more.
I won't allow anyone the chance to frame my Yuan Bao.
Yes.
We can't have her here.
Young Master, have some tea.
Hold on. Where's Young Mistress?
Young Mistress has probably gone to the garden.
She doesn't seem to be in a good mood.
She told us that she's going to visit Madam Jin.
Madam Jin, what have you done to my mother?
What is it you want with me? You asked me to come here but you won't talk to me?
You don't have to pretend that you're superior to me.
What have you done to my mother?
You want to know the answer?
You could tell me directly what you want from me.
I'll do my best as long as it is something I'm able to do.
You demanded I release your mother
and yet you're so rude to me.
Your mother's never taught you how to beg someone properly?
Indeed. My mother's also never taught me
how to put on a fake smile on my face with a knife in my hand
as respectable ladies like you do.
Fine words dress ill deeds.
That's true.
You are indeed straightforward and candid.
You're unlike us.
But if you still show such integrity
your mother won't have too long to live.
What on Earth do you plan to do to my mother?
Your mother's gone missing.
You want me to release her.
This... This can be negotiated.
But I just want to teach you properly
how you should beg someone.
Young Mistress, your mother-in-law is so tired from peeling the apples.
Shouldn't you help her out?
This one has a worm in it.
Peel me another one.
Quit playing games with me.
Just tell me what you want from me.
If my mother is safe and sound
I won't hold any grudges against you.
But if my mother is even slightly hurt
I'll make sure you suffer twice as much pain as she has.
It depends on how you serve your mother-in-law.
If you serve me really well
I might release her out of joy.
But if I'm not happy with your service
I'll kill her.
I dare you!
What are you doing?
Guards!
Are you going to kill Madam Jin?
Let go now!
- Qi Ling! - Guards!
You can't kill me just because
- you can't find your mother! - What are you doing?
Don't behave like this!
Qi Ling!
What are you doing?
My Lady!
You're bleeding!
You've gone insane? Have you completely lost your mind?
I didn't! I didn't even touch her.
Your mother is putting on a show!
Yu Qi Ling, I understand that you really want to find your mother
but you've really gone overboard.
You know very well that I did not touch you.
Even if you didn't plan to hurt her
you were waving a knife at her face.
I've put up with you for so long.
What else do you want from me?
Your mother's abducted my mother.
If anything should happen to her I'll kill your mother! Are you satisfied now?
Get out of Jin Manor.
Get lost!
Fine, I will go away!
I won't be in the way of your mother and son relationship!
Why are you still waiting here?
- Go and get a doctor! - Mother.
- Yes! - Are you all right?
I'm all right.
- Does it hurt? - No, it doesn't.
- I'm fine. - Let me take a look.
All right now. You're not used to serving anyone.
Just leave this to Xiao Cui.
All right.
Here.
Don't forget to redress the wound for Madam Jin regularly.
Yes, I understand.
Also, if Young Mistress comes to see Madam Jin again
you must not allow her to come in here at any time.
She must not disturb Madam Jin from recuperating, understand?
Yes, I understand.
I won't allow Young Mistress to take one step into Madam Jin's chamber.
Mother, have a good rest.
I'll take my leave now.
- See Young Master out. - Yes.
We've finally gotten rid of that scourge.
Although Yuan Bao didn't mention it
he must be terribly upset.
Xiao Cui, I've forced the love of my son's life away from him.
Have I overdone it?
'Better a finger off, than one wagging.'
He might be upset for a while
but it's better than being implicated in a scandal by Yu Qi Ling.
Now that this is already done I hope Yuan Bao can let go of her as soon as possible.
Cousin Yuan Bao!
I've already heard about it.
She's really gone overboard.
Are you all right?
I'm fine.
Have a drink with me.
Drink slowly. Too much alcohol is bad for you.
If it's bad for me, then let it be.
- But... - All right, I don't do this every day.
I only do this once in a while so stop trying to talk me out of it.
Don't move. What's the matter with your face?
I got into a fight.
Did you get into a fight with my brother?
It has nothing to do with you.
It's all right.
Cousin Yuan Bao... If my brother should have any offenses
could you let him off once based on our kinship since childhood?
Qian Qian, some things can't be forgiven.
Do you understand?
I understand.
Cousin Yuan Bao, could you try to understand that it has been hard
my brother throughout his childhood?
He had to work hard and plan for our future since we were little.
Just forgive him this once, will you?
There are some things that cannot be pardoned.
Could you forgive him once for my sake?
Or is it that you don't want me as a cousin as well?
Don't worry.
No matter what you might do wrong
you'll always be my good cousin.
Cousin Yuan Bao!
I've been really scared recently.
My brother has been busy with his own matters.
He won't allow me to ask him about it and he doesn't ask after me either.
I'm really worried that one day
you'll never talk to us again.
Don't worry. That won't happen.
I'll be here for you.
It's all right.
Cousin Yuan Bao, I'm so scared.
It's all right.
Why are you leaving?
Is it because of me?
It's definitely not because of you.
I've offended Madam Jin again.
Can you tell me what makes you so sure Madam Jin abducted your mother?
Tell me about it and I can help you.
I just want to leave this place now.
All right. Whenever and wherever you go
I'll always be your friend.
Young Mistress.
Young Mister has orders that we're not to let you near Madam Jin.
I'm just here to say a few words to Madam Jin.
Young Mistress, please try to understand how difficult it is for us as servants.
Madam Jin!
I'm here to beg you.
I'll never hurt you again.
I beg you to please spare my mother.
I promise never to harass you again.
Madam Jin!
I beg you to please spare my mother.
Madam Jin said that since you're here to beg her, you have to be sincere.
You're yelling in someone else's courtyard.
How is that appropriate?
What should I do?
Show us that you're sincere.
Go down on your knees and kowtow a few times.
Madam Jin might be moved and allow you to come in.
Let her come in!
Come in.
I'm leaving now.
Please release my mother.
What good is this to me?
My mother and I will leave the Capital immediately.
We'll never come to the Capital again in our lifetime.
We won't ever bother you again.
Good. This is exactly what I want.
You may leave now.
But...
But... I don't have your mother.
I don't know where she is either.
I've already told you that
but you won't believe me.
Then why are you doing this?
The act that you put on for the past few days...
All this acting that I've put on is to drive you away from Jin Manor.
Do you really think that I'd allow a vulgar peasant girl like you
to be with Yuan Bao?
Since I know that you married into Jin Family as an imposter
I haven't slept a wink in peace.
I'm frightened that when this matter is exposed, Yuan Bao will be captured.
If you were me
wouldn't you have done the same?
So you put on such an act and
provoked and scared me with whereabouts of my mother?
Exactly!
I lied to you for the sake of Jin Yuan Bao.
Not to mention that I'll lie for the sake of Yuan Bao
but I would also kill for him.
You don't have to stare at me like that.
I didn't kill the midwife.
Your mother is also really not in my hands.
But you'd better keep this in mind.
If I want something to get done nothing can get in my way.
Your mother might not be in hands now but it doesn't mean she won't be.
I, for my son and you, for your mother
should both take a step back.
- This is best for the both of us. - Yuan Bao isn't your son!
Nonsense!
Yuan Bao is my dearest son and no one can harm him!
Don't you dare!
I've never hurt him.
I've never even told him a word about his birth!
You lied your way into Jin Manor
and stayed by his side.
You put him in great danger
and you still dare to say you've never hurt him?
If it weren't that your lips are tight
and you treat him with true affection
how would you possibly make it out of Jin Manor alive?
Do you really think that Jin Manor is a place for you to come and go at will?
What else do you have to say?
If not, you can go to Yuan Bao right now
and tell him that his mother is trying to break the both of you up.
Let's see if he believes in you or me?
That's not necessary.
Isn't that the Young Mistress of Jin Manor?
Really? Is that her?
Coming.
What's the matter, young lady?
Excuse me, you have a house to let?
- I'll like to rent it. - Yes, I do.
How long do you plan to stay here?
I'd like to take a look at the house first.
This way, please.
Give that to me.
This is Yu Qi Ling's address.
Ask Jiang Xiao Xuan to visit her when she has the time.
No, she has to go there every day.
Sure, I'll go there right now.
I'm not telling to go there. I'm telling you to tell Jiang Xiao Xuan.
It's useless for you to be there.
The girls would talk more in depth with each other.
You want Xiao Xuan to put in a good word for you, right?
But haven't you always been good at coaxing girls?
It's different this time.
Yuan Bao, I don't mean to tell you off
but Yu Qi Ling is now all alone and she is so pretty
how could you drive her out of the Manor?
How can you feel at ease to have her living alone out there?
You've really gone overboard this time.
She's the one who went overboard.
She was so rude to my mother.
What else could I do?
I told Ah Fu to keep a close eye on her right now.
After a few days... when my mother is no longer angry at her
I'll go and bring her home.
What happens if Madam Jin is still angry at her after a few days?
All in all, this is all because her mother went missing.
I have no other solution.
I can only try to find her mother as soon as possible.
Xiao Xuan! Come here!
Here, Xiao Xuan.
These are the prunes that I soak in licorice juice for you.
It helps salivate and strengthens the spleen.
This is for you.
Just one prune?
There were a lot of them.
It's all Yuan Bao's fault.
He was in a foul mood so he destroyed my prunes.
Right, I almost forgot about the serious matter.
Jin Yuan Bao gave this to me.
This is Yu Qi Ling's address.
He wants you to visit her every day.
I saw how distressed he has been
so I know he truly loves Qi Ling.
But why is a couple as affectionate as Yu Qi Ling and Jin Yuan Bao
always facing so many obstacles?
Obstacles are always in the way of affectionate couples.
But as long as they have a happy ending, that's all it matters. Right?
Just like the two of us.
As for my mother...
Your mother is already very nice.
She hasn't come to scold me for the past three days.
I'll move to Qi Ling's new place tomorrow.
Here, take this.
You've made new soles for my shoes?
This is a bit too small.
My feet are bigger.
These aren't for you.
They are for your mother.
You're so thoughtful.
Mother, look how thoughtful Xiao Xuan is.
She made you new soles for your shoes.
How impressive.
Prime Minister's daughter made shoe soles for me.
Look at this. The stitching is all crooked.
The cloth isn't of the same thickness.
These might not be suitable for my feet.
Mother, why do you say that?
You are all grown up
and you have your loved ones now.
As mothers, we have to take a step back now.
How is that possible?
No matter what happens you'll always be my mother.
My biggest wish is that Jiang Xiao Xuan is to your liking
and that you can get along well with her.
If you want to give your mother a massage, then do it properly.
Stop being so half-hearted.
Tell her that I could make better soles with my eyes closed!
Sure, I'll let her know.
I'll get her to practice more.
The next pair would be better than this one!
Gently!
Are you trying to paralyze me?
Gently...
- We've searched this area. - Sir, have some tea.
You've already worked all day.
You should head back to the Manor to have some rest.
Yes. Sir, you shouldn't work all day long without taking any rest.
Let me be.
You're here at the right time.
Give out my orders.
All uninhabited houses, guild halls, nunneries
and houses of middlemen must be searched.
Pay special attention to men who turned rich overnight or are acting suspiciously.
Tell all our men to meet up at three o'clock in the morning.
Yes!
Hurry up!
Search carefully!
Yes!
Sir, there aren't any suspicious characters.
- Keep searching. - Yes!
Second Prince arrives!
Wen Zhao greets Your Highness.
Greetings, Your Highness!
You may get up and do without these unnecessary gestures.
- You are dismissed. - Yes!
I haven't seen you for a long time indeed.
I do quite miss you.
I wonder what has been keeping you.
I hope you remember you still work for me.
Don't distract yourself with unnecessary matters.
It's true I haven't been here to greet Your Highness in a long time.
But I'm sure Your Highness will be satisfied with the news that I bring.
Speak.
I was in charge of the Bureau of Weaponry some time ago.
Yes, you didn't manage to hang in there.
Although I didn't manage to stay on
and it was just for a short while
I have my own informants stationed there now.
Now the first batch of 500 firing weapons have been smuggled out.
What else? Tell me quickly!
I've had these weapons stashed away in a remote place near the suburbs.
Your Highness can send your men to check on them anytime.
Every two months, a batch of 500 weapons will be smuggled out.
Great!
Liu Wen Zhao, you have not failed me.
Your Highness, thank you for your praise.
Great...
Very well-done!
You must continue to keep an eye on the Bureau of Weaponry for me.
Send more men in.
The sooner we get hold of the Bureau of Weaponry
the easier it will be for me to achieve my ultimate goal.
That is my greatest wish.
Madam, please go back inside. There are too many people outside.
Please don't leave the premises.
Yes, I understand.
Please go inside.
- Why does she look so flustered? - I don't know.
- Are you sure? - We're pretty certain.
Our men followed your orders
and searched the areas as if they were set on a chessboard.
This house seems very suspicious.
After this house was rented for a very high price
no one lived in it for a long time.
But someone moved in a few days ago in the middle of the night.
She never leaves the house and someone brings her food every day.
He always visits and leaves at night.
If the auntie next-door hadn't been nosy no one would have found out.
We've shown her the sketch of your mother-in-law
but she hasn't seen anyone leave the house.
She couldn't recognize her but she did confirm
she noticed a middle-aged woman.
That woman resembled your mother-in-law.
Age-wise, she couldn't be someone's concubine who moved in.
But since this woman moved in
a lot more indecent gangsters started hanging around the area.
They were very hostile towards anyone who went near.
Even the street vendors are too scared to do business in the alley now.
It should be that house.
They are capable of abducting Mrs. Yu from E-Mei Mountain to the Capital
with advanced planning and specific details.
I'm sure that this gang is capable of establishing a nest.
We'll just watch them from afar for the time being.
Don't investigate inside.
Make sure you don't alarm the enemies.
We'll make a move tonight.
- Yes! - Yes!
Here you go. You are dismissed.
Yes!
Qi Ling will be coming home soon.
