[Perfect Couple]
Episode Thirty-Eight
The person who gave me the orders is...
Madam Jin.
Which Madam Jin?
Which other Madam Jin could it be?
It's the mistress of Jin manor.
Nonsense!
How dare you wrong someone else when your death is near at hand.
- Beat him to death! - Hold it!
Are you telling the truth?
I'm not lying. I wouldn't dare to lie.
Actually, when you were searching for your mother she'd sent me to stalk you.
You should be a lot smarter if you want to accuse someone.
This lie is of such a poor taste.
This is true!
I'm not lying. It's her!
It must be her.
When I was about to head out to search for my mother
she stopped me in my tracks and questioned me of her whereabouts.
Then our first attempt to rescue my mother failed.
She moved my mother to another location ahead of time.
You're talking nonsense as well?
You already wronged my mother for the death of the midwife.
And now you believe in his words? How could you believe in such nonsense?
- I... - No, Young Master.
Listen to me.
Madam Jin also ordered me to kill the midwife.
How dare you keep talking!
Fine, we'll confront her right now.
Are you insane?
If you confront her now, do you plan to create a havoc in Jin family?
This concerns my mother's safety. I have to get to the bottom of it!
You're not willing to confront her for fear of the truth?
You believe in such a ridiculous accusation?
Fine, we'll confront her. I'm not frightened.
- Guards! - Present!
Take Ah Gui with us!
- She's ill? - Yes.
I heard that she was nauseous and vomited. Her heart also hurts.
Have they gotten her a doctor?
Chang Feng is there with her.
She seems to have been poisoned.
She is feeling much better now.
She's poisoned?
How could she poisoned in the manor out of the blue?
Could there be a plot?
I heard that Young Master has been by her side since she fell ill.
Do you mean to say that she is putting on a sympathy act?
Take him in here!
Move!
Get down on your knees!
I'm sorry, My Lady.
I didn't manage to carry out your orders.
What are you talking about? What orders have I given you?
Ah Gui has already confessed, stop putting on an act!
You ordered him to abduct my mother
as well as kill the midwife.
If Yuan Bao hadn't gotten there in time my mother would have been dead!
What nonsense are you talking about? I've never given Ah Gui such orders!
My Lady, I didn't want to rat you out either
but the dungeon isn't a place to live in.
I'd rather die.
My Lady, for the sake of our years as mistress and servant
I beg you to allow Young Master to kill me right away.
Nonsense!
How could Madam Jin possibly want to harm her in-law?
What a great relationship between the mistress and servant.
What more do you have to say for yourself?
You'd rather believe in this evil servant than my mother?
How could I believe in her?
Ah Gui served her for ten-some years, so he must be working for her.
That's enough!
Stop making such a scene.
Yu Qi Ling, I only accepted you for the sake of Yuan Bao.
It doesn't mean that you can do whatever you want in the manor.
You accused me on false charges of a lowly servant.
Yuan Bao, interrogate this servant thoroughly!
Fine. Ah Gui, you said that my mother instructed you to take lives.
What evidence do you have?
Madam simply give out orders just by her words.
What evidence would I have?
All I have is my insignificant life.
Young Master, I'm begging you.
Please let me die swiftly.
Evidence? Since you're capable of the crimes, then there must be evidence.
My mother just had the sweet soup that your maid brought her.
She threw up and had diarrhea after she had the soup.
Chang Feng said that there was oleander in it.
It could be fatal if it had been severe.
Luckily, my mother only had half of the soup.
What sweet soup?
I never asked anyone to take sweet soup over to her.
Now that we have the witness and the evidence here
what do you still intend to do?
My mother said that she never asked anyone to send sweet soup over.
Shouldn't you listen to her explanation first?
Young Mistress, please calm down first.
I stay by the side of Madam Jin every day.
She's never told anyone to send sweet soup over.
Neither did she order Ah Gui to kill your mother.
You want to be her witness?
What proof have you got?
If she is the mastermind, then you're her accomplice.
You're all in this together.
Why don't you tell us about all the unspeakable deeds
that you've done for her over the years?
Yu Qi Ling, don't go overboard.
It's evident that someone has set my mother up.
Shouldn't you calm down first?
Fine. Ah Gui, I have a question for you.
Did you kill the midwife?
The murder of the midwife... was also an order from Madam Jin.
Madam told me to get rid of her quietly.
So I smothered the midwife to death with the pillow.
Madam Jin, are you still going to deny committing the crimes?
There's a motive behind every action.
Ah Gui, tell me.
Why would Madam Jin instruct you to murder anyone?
I didn't know why she did that.
I'm nothing more than a dog to her.
I'd bite anyone she tells me to!
Qi Ling! Qi Ling!
Qi Ling!
My Lady, you promised to take good care of my family!
You must stay true to your words!
Evil witch!
It's not me... It really isn't...
- Mother, don't be scared. I'm here. - My Lady...
Qi Ling, let's leave.
This isn't our place to stay.
Mother, why do you keep letting this evil witch off? She wants to kill you!
Qi Ling, let's leave. I'm begging you. All right?
Yu Qi Ling, I won't let you off if you keep letting your mouth run off.
You can accuse my mother
but you have to have the evidence!
Jin Yuan Bao, you refuse to acknowledge the truth, right?
Young Master is right. This case is too bizarre.
Madam Jin is a lady of high status so why would she want to kill the midwife
and the foster mother of Young Mistress?
Fine, I'll tell you the reason right now.
I'll tell you why your mother has done so many unspeakable deeds!
Qi Ling!
Jin Yuan Bao, you refuse to believe that Madam Jin is behind all these.
That's because...
That's because you don't think that your mother has a motive for doing so.
I'll tell you why she did this.
That's because she isn't your biological mother!
And right beside me is the Concubine Wang that Midwife Liu helped in childbirth.
She is your real mother!
Twenty years ago, she was General Jin's concubine.
General Jin died on the battlefield shortly after she gave birth to you.
Your mother... No, I should say, Madam Jin.
She took you away from my mother.
She drove my mother out of Jin manor.
Madam Jin killed the senile and old midwife Liu because
she knew that the midwife knows the truth.
She was afraid that this secret would be exposed so she killed her to silence her.
She then abducted my mother
and gave orders to have her killed.
She's scared that my mother will tell you the truth.
She went all out to get rid of her because
she plans to keep the secret of snatching the child away from another
buried deep down forever.
Why do you think that I took such a huge risk to come to Jin manor?
I wanted to find the son that was stolen from my mother twenty years ago.
How did I know that you have a birth mark on the back of your waist?
My mother told me about it.
I came to Jin manor to confirm that birth mark on you.
I wanted to figure out if you are my mother's biological son.
Why did I take you to E-Mei Mountain for my homecoming?
I wanted you to reunite with your mother.
But my mother was protective of you and forced herself not to reunite with you.
She was afraid that you'll feel hurt!
Moreover, why was I so eager to look for the midwife in eastern Luhe?
That was because I was trying to look for evidence.
Everything that I said is true.
If you don't believe in me, you can ask Auntie Gu.
Or you can ask this woman whom you've addressed as your mother for twenty years!
Ask her and get her to tell you in her own words
how she snatched someone else's son away
and how she watched as your mother was separated from you.
She saw how your mother suffered and yet she went all out to silence her.
Madam Jin, every word that I said today is true.
If you think that I've lied
look into my eyes and say so.
Yu Qi Ling...
Listen up.
Every word and sentence that you've just said
I don't believe any of it at all.
I really have misjudged you.
You wouldn't even reunite with your own mother.
- My Lady! - Mother!
- My Lady!
Are you all right?
- Mother! - My Lady!
- Mother! - My Lady! Are you all right?
- Mother! - My Lady!
Get a doctor!
- My Lady! - My Lady!
My Lady!
You're going to leave again?
You refuse to reunite with Mother.
Why should I stay?
Everything you just said is true?
What do you think?
The evidence is right before your eyes.
It's just that you refuse to face the truth.
Then your homecoming and marrying in Xiao Xuan's stead
are just means to get close to me?
That's right.
Everything that I've done is to get you to reunite with my mother.
On the trip of your homecoming
you kept protecting me because you think that I'm your foster mother's son?
That I am your brother?
What do you mean by saying that I think that?
You are.
You took a knife for me.
Is it because of this reason as well?
That's right.
I can't allow you to die before my eyes.
Someone wanted to blow me up into pieces
and you risked your life to protect me.
I don't have to ask you for the reason because it must be the same one.
That's right.
I've already promised my mother
that I'll get you to call her 'Mother' one day.
That's why I can't allow you to die.
You've really gone to a great effort
and stayed faithful to your goal for such a long period of time.
So much has already happened.
But you've not swayed from your original intention.
Because this is the truth.
Let me ask you again.
Will you reunite with her or not?
Let me tell you this. I will never call another woman my mother.
I only have one mother.
And that is Madam Jin.
You're acknowledging a thief as your mother!
You schemed your way into marrying me in Xiao Xuan's stead.
Your intention was to get me to reunite with your mother.
All right, your mission is now accomplished.
You may leave now.
I don't ever want to see you again.
You and your mother should leave Jin manor as soon as possible.
Just know this, I would never ever believe a word that you say.
Mother.
Let's leave now.
Mother, you don't have to say a word.
Have a good rest.
Just listen to what I have to say.
I know that Yu Qi Ling lied to me.
She is just a liar.
I would not believe anything that she says.
You are my mother.
You gave birth to me and nobody can take you from me.
Mother, have a good rest.
I know only you as my mother.
All right now, don't cry.
Rest well. I'll go and get your medicine for you.
What are you doing here?
As you've hoped for, we are leaving.
You're leaving?
You snatched my mother's son away. And then you tried to harm her several times.
I was supposed to go all out to fight against you.
But my mother doesn't want that.
I chose to respect her wishes.
I really... I really didn't harm your mother.
Jin Yuan bao isn't here now. You don't have to put up an act.
I don't want to listen to your sophistry.
I'm just here to tell you that
my mother and I are leaving very soon.
We will never disturb you again.
You can be with that heartless son of yours
in this luxurious and glamorous Jin manor alone.
Madam Jin, I know that you're very resourceful.
You have connections everywhere.
That's why I'm asking you to please have mercy on us.
This matter has now come to an end.
But if you dare to harm my mother again
I swear that I will risk my life
- to exact revenge on you. - Yu Qi Ling!
What are you doing?
You've hurt my mother several times.
I won't look into what you did in the past.
From now on, you and your mother are no longer welcome in Jin manor.
I don't want to see you ever again.
If you dare to hurt my mother again
I, Jin Yuan Bao, swear that
I will show you no mercy
and I won't let you off.
Fine, remember the words that you said to me today.
Mother? Mother, are you all right?
I never expected things to turn out this way.
I think... I think that this must have been too sudden
so it's hard for Yuan Bao to accept the truth immediately.
You need to give him some time.
I believe that he will understand eventually.
Qi Ling, I hope that you won't give up on him.
He needs time? My mother waited twenty years for him.
Yet he calls a thief his mother
and refused to admit his mistake.
I'm completely disheartened.
He stood up for his mother, so will I for mine.
He and I will never meet again.
Qi Ling, Yuan Bao isn't that sort of person.
He always values friendships and relationships.
He's the coldest and most heartless person I've ever met.
Chang Feng, you be a warm and faithful man.
Take good care of Xiao Xuan.
You mustn't let her feel wronged.
I won't.
You and your mother must take care of yourselves.
When Madam Jin is better
I'll go and visit you with Xiao Xuan and Yuan Bao.
Don't visit us.
He won't come to see me.
I shouldn't have... I shouldn't have come to this place.
He would never visit us again.
Mother, let's leave now.
Let's go.
My Lady.
Who is it?
If you don't take your life to make up for your sins
I'll risk my life to report to Empress Dowager that
I married in Xiao Xuan's stead and you stole my mother's son.
Yu Qi Ling.
I swear that I will risk my life to go all out to get you.
Yuan Bao, it's time that I pay the price for my sins.
I'm handing Jin manor to you.
Xiao Cui!
My Lady, did you ask for me?
I came over here a while ago but you were fast asleep.
So I went to the pharmacy to brew some medicine for you.
Are you feeling better?
I'm all right.
Go and fetch Yuan Bao here.
Yes, I'll do that right away.
Mother, what are you doing here when you're so feeble?
I'll assist you back to your bed.
No, I'd like to stay here for a while.
All right, I'll keep you company.
Everything is well when I see you.
Yuan Bao, you seem so tired.
You've suffered.
Mother, I'm fine.
Don't worry.
Yuan Bao, I asked you to come over to tell you that
you're the rightful young master to Jin manor and Bureau of Weaponry.
No matter what happens
this is a fact that can't be changed.
I've managed it with great effort for twenty some years
so that I could pass it down to you.
Now that you've grown up
and I'm old
Jin family will now be handed over to you.
Mother, I understand.
I know that Father was the mighty General Jin.
It's a pity that he passed away so young.
I don't even know what he looked like.
But I remember when I was young I contracted small pox
you weren't afraid of being infected and took care of me every day.
I remember that when I was little, I had a conflict with the royal children.
You were the one who begged Empress Dowager for mercy.
I know that because Father died young on the battlefield
you've always been very worried about my safety.
I also know that since I wanted to become the best detective in the world
you haven't had a good night's sleep.
I know that Jin family's Bureau of Weaponry needs me.
But you didn't force me to do anything that I don't like.
This is all because you love me, care for me, and dote on me.
I know that you're just waiting for me to acknowledge my responsibility.
I know all that.
Mother, no matter what others may say
you're the only one who has been on my mind for the past twenty years.
You are my mother.
And that is the truth.
No one can dismiss that.
I'm very content that I have a son like you in my life.
Likewise.
All right, Mother. Don't think too much.
Here.
Once you pulled through this period of time
accompany me to the temple.
We'll hold a prayer ritual for your father.
I want to tell your father that his son Yuan Bao has grown up
and can take over the Jin family now.
Sure, I'll go with you when you're fully recovered.
Your father in heaven would be pleased.
Mother, you should rest more.
I'm a bit tired.
Why don't you go back first?
All right, I'll go back first.
You should have some rest.
I'll head back first.
Yuan Bao.
Here, come over here.
I feel at ease now.
It's all right, Mother.
Have a good rest.
I'll head back first.
All right.
Auntie, don't blame me for being ruthless.
Dear husband, I've been in charge of Jin family on my own.
I've held on for so many years.
I'm too exhausted.
I really can't do it anymore.
But you don't have to worry about the future of Jin manor.
We have Yuan Bao.
He will take good care of it.
He is a smart and filial child.
In the future, we'll watch over him together.
Yuan Bao, I have failed you.
In our next life, let us be true mother and son.
- Mister Liu. - Mister Liu.
Auntie, it's me, Wen Zhao. I'm here to greet you.
Auntie, won't you answer me?
I'm going in now, Auntie!
- Auntie! - My Lady!
- Call for help! - My Lady!
Anyone there?
Auntie!
- Are you all right, Auntie? - My Lady...
Auntie, are you all right?
- Auntie! - My Lady!
Auntie!
- Auntie... - What happened?
Auntie hanged herself.
Chang Feng, save my mother immediately!
I'm here.
Mother, why have you done this?
I've said that I'd only acknowledge you as my mother.
Why couldn't you get over it?
Mother, wake up!
Her pulse is very weak and fading in and out at times.
It's up to Madam Jin's luck to see if she can wake up or not.
Her luck? I told you to save her! Didn't you hear me?
Yuan Bao, calm down!
Madam Jin has been in asphyxiation for quite some time.
She's still unconscious. How could I calm down!
How could I be calm when my mother has tried to take her own life?
I'll save her! I will.
What is this about? Why did my mother take her own life?
What happened?
I... I think that I saw Young Mistress sneaking into Madam Jin's chamber.
I'm not too sure about that.
- I might be mistaken... - Don't say such nonsense!
Did you see her clearly?
Yu Qi Ling.
Young Master!
Listen to my orders!
Go all out to arrest Yu Qi Ling!
Kill all who resists!
Yes!
Arrest them!
What are you doing, Jin Yuan Bao?
Yu Qi Ling, do you have to be so ruthless?
Do you have to force my mother to her death?
Didn't I warn you not to hurt her again?
Why won't you listen to me?
What on earth are you talking about?
We have already left Jin manor.
What has your mother's life or death got to do with us?
Come back to Jin manor with me now.
If my mother doesn't regain consciousness
I'll have you buried with her.
Are you insane?
Yuan Bao, I can swear on my life
that Qi Ling wouldn't hurt your mother.
I can also promise that she will never return to Jin manor again.
You want to leave? No way.
Take them away.
Have you gone insane, Jin Yuan Bao?
You're even arresting your own biological mother?
I don't care if she's my biological or false mother!
Take them away!
Get in there! Hurry up!
What are you doing, Jin Yuan Bao?
Who are you to lock us in here?
I didn't expect you to draw no distinction between right and wrong.
Do you really intend to kill us?
You are the ones who are doing that.
You forced my mother to hang herself.
She's now in a coma, and we don't know if she will pull through.
I didn't do that!
I'm not afraid to bear the consequences of my actions
and I didn't do such a thing!
But I have witnessed those tricks that your mother has.
What is she trying to do?
Is she trying to get you to kill your own mother?
If you don't want to die
you'd better shut up.
I...
Yuan Bao, this has nothing to do with Qi Ling.
I beg you to let her off, please?
- Mother... - I'm begging you!
Yuan Bao, I'm begging you.
Please spare Qi Ling.
I'm begging you!
Mother, why do you kneel to him?
Do you have any conscience?
Should anything happen to my mother
you'll both await your death.
Good girl, don't cry.
Mother, I beg you, please wake up soon.
I can't do without you.
Mother...
Brother, where are you going?
- I'm going to rescue someone. - Who are you rescuing?
Yu Qi Ling?
Why are you going to rescue her?
- Because she is innocent. - What about you?
What about me?
Do you dare to say that you had nothing to do with this matter at all?
First, Auntie fell ill.
And then she committed suicide.
Then our cousin is so stressed out, he's on the verge of a breakdown.
You've gone to great lengths to make such plans, right?
I haven't wronged you, have I?
If I had wanted to put on a show, I would need a stage.
If they hadn't done anything wrong, no matter how hard I schemed
they wouldn't have played into my game.
I'm begging you.
Auntie has treated us very well.
Jin family is our family.
If the family is in chaos and destroyed
what have we got to gain from it?
This isn't our family, it's theirs!
They will always be the masters here, and us the servants.
I want their family shattered and have Yu Qi Ling leave Jin Yuan Bao!
Brother!
All in all, you're just doing this in order to get Yu Qi Ling!
You have to remember who you are!
She is Yuan Bao's wife!
So what if she is Yuan Bao's wife?
I've let him have his way for twenty years, but not anymore.
I will get what I want.
Brother!
Mister Liu!
Step aside.
Young Master has orders that no one is allowed in without his permission.
Young Master?
You'll know soon enough who the young master of Jin manor is.
- Get lost! - Mister Liu!
- Mister Liu. - Open the door.
No one is allowed in without Young Master's permission.
Qi Ling, you and your mother have both suffered.
What are you doing here?
I'm here to rescue you.
This won't do.
If you rescue us what will happen to you?
I couldn't care about all that. Let's get out of here first.
Mister Liu, this matter concerns me, Qi Ling, and Yuan Bao.
We mustn't implicate you.
I couldn't bear to see my aunt treat you so.
Moreover, Qi Ling and I are... are friends.
Thank you for your graciousness.
We shouldn't stay here anymore. Let's get out first.
- Let's go. - Go.
Stop them!
Hurry up!
Stop right there!
Stop!
Mother.
Liu Wen Zhao, is this a rebellion?
You dare to release the people that I arrested?
Young Master, I side with justice, not my own kin.
I believe that Qi Ling and Madam Yu are innocent.
I couldn't allow you and Madam Jin to carry out such heinous acts.
Side with justice, not your kin?
When have you become so sensible?
Qi Ling?
You're calling her so affectionately.
Do you know her at all?
Why would you believe her?
You must have designs on her.
I have already told you that you should let Qi Ling go if you don't cherish her.
Someone else will cherish her.
You're a despicable villain who fishes in troubled waters.
Jin Yuan Bao, step aside with your men.
Twenty years ago, it was the Jins who threw my mother out of the manor.
And now you intend to keep her here with swords and knives?
As long as I'm here, don't you even think about it!
Before my mother wakes up
none of you gets to leave this place.
Jin Yuan Bao, you dare point your sword at your own mother?
Do you still have any conscience? Are you still a human?
I only have one mother!
She is now lying on her bed.
I don't know if she will pull through.
You are the culprit behind this.
Yet you dare try to escape?
Don't you think about it.
I've already told you that I have nothing to do with this matter.
Since the first day that I met you
all you've done is lie to me.
You just kept on lying and lying.
I told you, I won't believe
a word that you say.
Yes, I did lie to you.
You can arrest me.
But you have to let my mother go.
Have you plotted with that despicable Liu Wen Zhao?
You're in such a rush.
Where are you going?
Anywhere is better than staying in Jin manor
and looking at this face of yours, blind to right and wrong.
Liu Wen Zhao is righteous and just.
Yet you insist on calling him a despicable villain.
You won't reunite with your real mother
and insist on calling that thief as your mother.
Now you're pretending that you're some filial son.
Jin Yuan Bao, listen up.
You're just a jerk who can't tell right from wrong!
Let's go.
No one is allowed to leave before my mother wakes up!
