[Perfect Couple]
Episode Twenty-Six
Wake up right away if you've had enough sleep.
You don't feel well?
My head hurts a bit.
Don't jump into the water for nothing.
It's all because of you.
If you hadn't thrown the necklace into the pond why would I have jumped in?
I did throw it away.
But I didn't tell you to fish it out.
Do you have something to tell me?
I do.
Go ahead.
Why are you staring at me like that?
Because you don't dare to look at me.
What are you talking about?
I'm talking about you.
Why are you so weird these days?
Young Master!
Young Master, Physician Gu and Miss Xue Er are here to visit Young Mistress.
- Let them in. - Yes.
This way, please.
- Xiao Xuan. - Xiao Xuan.
Are you all right?
What brings you both here?
We heard that you were soaked in water for half of yesterday.
We're here to visit you.
I'm all right.
How do you feel now?
Let me take a look.
You've caught a cold.
How did you fall into the water?
It's all because of him.
What's the matter?
Who knows why he's gone crazy?
Your pulse is a bit erratic but you will be fine.
Take three servings of my medication and I promise you a full recovery.
When Xue Er is sick, she recovers quickly when she takes my medication.
What are you talking about?
What's the matter with him?
He's been acting strangely for the past two days.
Just ignore him.
Yuan Bao, why did you bully Xiao Xuan?
Chang Feng.
Why are you pulling me back?
You won't let me say that? I have to say it if I can't tolerate it.
Yuan Bao, look at yourself.
You bullied a girl
and had her soak in a water lily pond for so many hours.
What are you going to do now that she has fallen ill?
- Come and talk to me outside. - Why are you pulling me?
Come and talk to me outside.
What are you doing?
Don't think that just because you're the Young Master you can do whatever you want.
Listen up. I'll tell you off if you do anything I can't tolerate.
Look at me.
How do I treat Xue Er?
Xue Er?
You've only known her for a while
and you both hit it off so perfectly?
For a while?
What do you mean by that?
How did you meet her?
It is quite a romantic story.
I was collecting herbs in the mountains that day.
I saw a bad person who was trying to take advantage of Xue Er.
I plucked up my courage, saved her and brought her back to the manor.
Aren't you afraid she might be a swindler?
A swindler?
Yes, she is a swindler.
You're still dating her even if you know she's a swindler?
Not only is she a swindler
but also a thief.
She's stolen my heart.
I'm willing to have her steal from me.
Are you all right, Gu Chang Feng?
Don't make me hit you!
When Xue Er and I first fell in love, you encouraged me then.
What's the matter with you today?
We're buddies so I don't want you to get both the Jins and Gus into trouble.
Do you understand?
If you're my buddy, you should be supportive of me and Xue Er.
You might as well kill me if you won't allow me to be with Xue Er.
No... How should I put it to make you understand?
There's only one thing I understand. I truly love Xue Er.
Chang Feng.
I think that I should go and get Xiao Xuan's medicine?
Yuan Bao, I'll take my leave now.
Xue Er, I'll help you with that.
I can't be bothered with you.
Where are you going now?
I haven't found the necklace yet so I'm going to look for it.
Don't waste your strength.
However great, it is a waste when you wear it.
You're not fit for it.
Are you sick, Jin Yuan Bao?
What's the matter with you these days?
Have your brains been squashed by a door or kicked by a donkey?
Why are you treating me like this?
How should I treat you?
You're so abnormal.
- I'm very normal. - No!
You were never like this.
I've always been like this.
Especially when it comes to treating women like you.
Women like me?
Explain yourself! What kind of woman am I?
Didn't you have something to tell to me just now?
What is it?
It was about looking for the necklace.
- Is that it? - That's it.
- Nothing else? - Nothing!
- Are you sure? - I am sure!
What now? Haven't you already put on quite a show yesterday?
First, it was that hypocrite who came to your rescue.
Then, your best friend, Xue Er
who came and pretended to care for you.
And that silly Gu Chang Feng who treated you and got you medicine.
Since you're all so good at acting
why don't you start a troupe and act on stage?
Have you said enough, Jin Yuan Bao?
You can criticize me but why have you criticized my friends as well?
Speaking of your friend
Miss Xue Er is so good at acting.
Why didn't she become an actress?
Let me ask you this. What is Miss Xue Er's full name?
I...
You can't answer me?
You claimed to be her neighbor.
But now you can't answer that?
Why do I need to tell you that?
You don't have to.
But I noticed that you both have one thing in common.
You both have such hypocrisy in your eyes.
- Just like a dog. - I...
Fine. From now on you can do whatever you please.
You can soak yourself in the river for a day if you want.
Please feel free to do so.
Nutcase.
Let's hurry up. Stop throwing a tantrum.
You haven't been to Chang Feng's new pharmacy yet.
I'll take you there to have a look.
Didn't you just say that Jin Yuan Bao is there as well?
I don't want to go there. He makes me angry the minute I see him.
As the saying goes
'Couple's quarrels are quickly mended.'
Moreover, Yuan Bao treats you very well.
What are you still throwing a tantrum?
Who knows what he has been possessed by recently?
He keeps picking on me. I didn't rub him the wrong way.
Chang Feng told me to take you to his pharmacy.
He's brought Yuan Bao with him.
I reckon he's trying to help you both make up.
Whatever the misunderstanding you should both clear it up.
It will be fine once you have cleared it all up.
Fantastic!
Great!
Wonderful!
Well done!
Dear neighbors, friends and family
'Physician Gu's Pharmacy' is officially opened for business.
I welcome all of you to visit!
Well done!
On this special day
I have a favor to ask of everyone.
I would like all of you to bear witness to my love.
I'm going to propose to the lady I like, Miss Xue Er!
Great!
He's going to propose to you!
- Xiao Xuan... - Xue Er.
Before I met you
there were only medical books and medicinal herbs in my life.
I'm giving them all to you now!
And this pharmacy as well. I'm giving it all to you!
I know that when other people propose
they present jade pendants and jewelry as gifts.
They are all valuable gifts.
But what I'm giving you is what I considered most precious to me.
I'm giving it all to you.
I know that marriage isn't that simple.
Perhaps in the future, we will argue a lot like Xiao Xuan and Yuan Bao.
But I swear that I will always give in to you.
I won't argue with you. I'll always obey you, all right?
As long as you marry me
I'll make sure that our love will always be intact.
- Please marry me. - Marry him!
Marry him! Marry him!
Say yes.
Marry him! Marry him!
Say yes! Hurry up!
Marry him. It's so touching.
Marry him! Marry him!
Hold it!
Yuan Bao?
Gu Chang Feng, are you insane?
You can't marry her!
No, what on earth are you doing?
It took me a long time to come up with such a romantic proposal.
Will you stop messing around?
It took you a long time to come up with that?
Is this fun?
I thought that you were just a dork.
But now I realize you have no brains at all.
Is marriage a child's play?
Have you thought of Jin family? Have you thought of Gu family?
Have you thought of your mother?
Have you got any brains?
Jin Yuan Bao, what are you doing?
What Chang Feng did was so touching.
I was almost moved to tears.
Ignore him.
This is between the both of them. It's none of your business.
- Shut up! - I...
You're such a brainless woman!
How dare you encourage him!
I... What have I done again?
I'm sincere about giving them my blessing.
Unlike you, who is so narrow-minded!
Yuan Bao, I know what you're thinking. You're worried about my mother, right?
You're worried if my mother learns of this, she will make a fuss.
I know that!
But Xue Er and I are truly in love.
If we aren't worried about that then you shouldn't be either, okay?
Chang Feng...
I won't let you down.
Xue Er, ignore him.
He's been abnormal these days.
He's been acting really weirdly.
Say yes! Hurry up and say yes.
Marry him!
Yes! Marry him! Marry him!
Marry him.
Marry him! Marry him!
- Marry him! Marry him! - Fine.
- Marry him! Marry him! - You've all gone insane.
- Marry him! Marry him! - You're crazy! You're crazy!
You're crazy as well! Fine!
- Marry him! Marry him! - You've all gone insane!
Everyone is insane!
Carry on with this farce! I am done with you!
Marry him! Marry him!
Young Master, why are you drinking alone?
Are you unhappy about something?
Ah Fu...
Let me ask you a question.
If you have a friend who knows that there is a fiery pit in front of him
but insists on jumping into it
what would you do?
What kind of a fiery pit is it?
He's infatuated with a woman.
A vixen?
All vixens are bad.
Young Master, you have to talk him out of it.
But he won't listen to any advice.
The you can only act swiftly to break it off for him.
Break it off for him?
But he would hate me?
One day when he understands he will be grateful to you.
Ah Fu, I reward you this wine.
Young Master...
Greetings, Mother.
I wonder what important matter has made Madam Jin gather us here?
Yuan Bao is the one who wanted everyone to gather here.
He said that he has an important announcement to make.
Greetings, Mother.
Yuan Bao, you said that you wanted everyone to gather in the hall.
What important announcement are you making?
I'm taking a concubine.
Taking a concubine?
Yuan Bao, when I mentioned getting you a concubine last time
you objected to it very fiercely.
That was why I agreed to your decision.
But why are you the one who wants to take a concubine now?
Mother, I was too un-filial then.
I was unreasonable.
Mother meant well but I let you down and even upset you.
It is my fault.
That is already in the past.
Don't bring it up again.
So you have thought it through now?
I've already thought it through.
It's very reasonable for a man to have several wives.
Moreover, I am the Young Master of Jin Manor.
The Young Master of Jin Manor takes a concubine for Jin family.
It is considered producing more offspring for the family.
How can you say that to Mother?
Shut up.
You've been married into Jin family for a long time.
Haven't you learned not to interrupt others when they are talking?
You...
Yuan Bao has now become so mature.
I am very happy about that
but which lady do you intend to take as your concubine?
I'm taking Xue Er as my concubine.
- What? - What?
Yuan Bao, you want to...
You want to take Miss Xue Er as your concubine?
That's right.
Mother, Yuan Bao is just joking with you.
Who's joking?
I've already thought it through clearly.
I...
Last time, Miss Xue Er was our first choice.
Now that Yuan Bao has agreed to it
this is now a joyous occasion.
Wait a minute!
What on earth are you trying to do?
What am I trying to do?
What? I'm already being very clear and you still don't get it?
You didn't bring your ears with you or is it your brains?
I have already told you.
You have to divorce me before you can have any concubines!
I finally understand it now.
You've been stirring things up between me and Xue Er
because you want her for yourself!
Chang Feng, what are you doing?
Jin Yuan Bao, didn't you say that you'd never hurt your friend?
Didn't you say that you'll always do what's good for me?
You said such honey-coated words but you have a heart darker than ink!
To think that I've treated you as a brother for 20 years
but you're actually such a despicable person!
Save your breath, fool. Leave now.
I don't care if I'm a fool.
If you dare to lay a finger on Xue Er
I'll fight you to death! Do you hear me?
- Chang Feng! - Do you hear me, Jin Yuan Bao?
How dare you attack Yuan Bao for the sake of a woman! Are you crazy?
Jin Yuan Bao!
The first slap is for your cold-heartedness!
The second slap is for your shamelessness and treachery!
The third slap is for betraying your friend!
- The fourth... - Stop it!
How dare you slap your husband! That is so inappropriate.
Now I understand why Yuan Bao changed his mind and now wants a concubine.
As long as I'm alive
you're not to make an uproar in this place!
I have decided on this matter.
Xiao Cui, here.
Start making arrangements right away.
Yes, I'll get it all arranged now.
What are you doing?
I'm writing our divorce papers.
From now on, it is over between us.
You are you, and I am me.
Show it to me.
The format is all over the place.
Your handwriting is like worms.
These kind of divorce papers are useless.
It's a waste of time writing them.
Go ahead and tear it up.
I'll just write another one.
Didn't you try all that you could to marry into Jin family?
Why do you want to leave now?
What do you think Jin manor is?
A tea house or a public bath?
You can come and leave at will?
You'd better get this straight.
I'm the one who is divorcing you.
Don't you even think about it.
I would be the one to divorce you if we divorced.
You married into Jin family.
You belong to Jin family and you'll die as a member of the Jins.
As for Miss Xue Er
she came uninvited and stirred up so much trouble.
Now she wants to leave? No way.
The dignity of Jin family is not to be trampled on.
I'll divorce you if you dare to take a concubine!
I am definitely taking this concubine.
Get back here. Hit me. Have you had enough?
Hit me! Go on!
- What are you doing, Jin Yuan Bao? - Hit me!
- Let go of me! - Go on!
Let go of me!
What are you doing?
Before I wed the concubine you're not to go anywhere.
Stay here obediently.
Anyone there? Come and take Young Mistress away!
Yes.
Let go of me!
- Where are you taking me? - Jin family's ancestral hall.
Before I wed the concubine
I want you to reflect on yourself in there.
I didn't do anything wrong!
- You're the one at fault! - Shut up!
Let go of me!
What are you doing?
Lock her inside.
I'll have her reflect on herself in there.
Are you still Jin Yuan Bao?
I am Jin Yuan Bao but you are...
- Take her away! - Move!
Open the door!
Jin Yuan Bao, let me out!
Jin Yuan Bao!
Aren't you afraid of bad karma by doing this before your ancestors?
I'm doing this for the sake of Jin family.
If you're sensible then you'd better behave.
Ah Gui, Ah Fu, without my permission no one is allowed to let her out.
Yes.
Jin Yuan Bao!
Let me out!
Yuan Bao, I heard that you've locked your wife in the ancestral hall.
Why has it gotten so bad?
She's unhappy with me taking a concubine.
She talked back to me
and even hit me.
She's met the 'Seven Grounds for Divorcing.'
I've locked her in the ancestral hall so that she can reflect on her mistakes.
Xiao Xuan did go overboard.
I can understand her jealousy.
But she still has to show you some respect.
She made such a fuss today
and even slapped her husband.
This is indeed inappropriate.
Mother, don't worry.
I will take care of this matter.
However, you need to have her understand the reason for this.
After all, your marriage was bestowed by Empress Dowager.
Moreover, she is your wedded wife.
Your wedded wife and concubine are not the same.
You have to consider her feelings.
Yuan Bao, the wives of a huge manor may seem to have it all
but who would know the pain and suffering in their hearts?
Don't worry, Mother.
I will abide by your teachings.
Yuan Bao, we need to talk.
You've come to see me now but I'm very busy at the moment.
We're getting married in three days' time.
If there is anything you need to say you can say it three days later.
I'm not here to pick a fight with you.
I think that we should still have a conversation in a civilized manner.
We have nothing to talk about.
In regards to taking a concubine
Auntie Gu will be making the arrangements.
She will inform you then.
Since you don't want to talk to me
why don't you answer a few questions?
Why don't you ask yourself and then tell me your honest answer?
Are you going to ask me if I love you?
Let me tell you this. I am not Gu Chang Feng.
I won't answer such a childish and meaningless question.
You're right.
My first question is
do you love me?
I'm sure that you know this better than anyone else.
You don't love me at all.
Is love so important?
When have you ever seen a respectable lady mention love all the time?
Miss Xue Er has such great manners.
Since you don't love me
and you objected sternly to Madam Jin's previous suggestion of
taking me as a concubine
why have you suddenly gone back on your word?
Don't give me the excuses you made up to appease Madam Jin.
I won't believe a word of it.
Allow me to answer for you.
You had a fight with Xiao Xuan.
You want to provoke her with this matter.
Or you're trying to make her bow her head down to you.
Am I right?
Yuan Bao, none of us are children anymore.
Stop throwing a tantrum in this matter.
All right?
Moreover, taking a concubine isn't some simple matter.
I know that you love Xiao Xuan very much.
Otherwise, you wouldn't make such a huge fuss about it.
Frankly, she loves you very much as well.
All right, stop making a fuss about it.
I'll help you persuade her to make up with you.
The both of you should kiss and make up quickly.
You think I'm deliberately taking you as my concubine
to provoke her into making up with me?
You really do think quite a lot.
You're so good at making up stories.
Sorry, I've forgotten that
you're both the best at making up stories.
I've finally had a taste of that again.
My apologies.
Yuan Bao, stop it.
Jiang Xiao Xuan and I already have enough on our hands.
Stop making things more difficult for us.
Put an end to this farce now.
I'm stirring up trouble?
You were the ones who got yourself into this mess.
I hereby inform you seriously
that I am definitely taking you as my concubine.
Fine. I have another question for you.
I am a free woman.
I don't belong to Jin manor.
Why do you get to marry me just because you want to?
Listen up. I don't consent to this.
Your words have reminded me.
Anyone there?
- Present! Young Master. - Young Master.
Take my second mistress to her new chamber
and look after her.
Should anything go amiss
I'll hold you responsible.
Jin Yuan Bao, who are you to hold me captive?
This is house arrest! Do you still respect the law?
I am the law.
I will say the same words that I said to Jiang Xiao Xuan.
Jin manor isn't the place where you can come and leave at will.
Take her away.
- Yes! - Let go of me!
- You... - Let's go.
Let go of me!
Is anyone there? Let me out!
- Physician Gu... - I have to see Xue Er!
On what grounds can Yuan Bao keep her captive?
- You can't go in there. - Xue Er is mine.
Who is he to lock her up?
Who does he think he is?
No way! I have to go there.
- What's the matter, Physician Gu? - Ah Fu.
Take me to Xue Er.
Physician Gu, this time, Young Master gave very strict orders
no one is to enter without his permission.
Who is Jin Yuan Bao to lock Xue Er up?
Xue Er is my Xue Er!
Physician Gu!
I'll take you there.
But the doors are already locked.
You can only see each other through the slits of the door.
- You may both have a break. - Yes.
Wait for me!
- Xue Er! - What are you doing?
Buddy, let Physician Gu go over there to say a few words.
- Just for a while then. - Xue Er!
Xue Er! Xue Er!
Chang Feng!
Xue Er!
Chang Feng!
Are you all right?
This is the peppermint candy that I've made for you.
It can keep you alert and awake.
It can also make you feel less hungry. It tastes very good.
Try it.
Xue Er, don't worry.
I'll definitely think of a way to get you out of here.
Then we will leave together. We'll go to a faraway place and never come back.
It's very sweet. It's really tasty.
Jin Yuan Bao is obviously keeping you here by force.
I am going to sound the drums at the Detectives' Bureau.
I'm going to sue him!
Don't be silly. You will never manage to defeat him.
All the officials cover for each other.
How could you possibly defeat him?
Chang Feng, don't worry.
I'd rather die than marry Jin Yuan Bao.
I will never betray your love for me.
Every word and sentence that you said during the proposal
are deeply engraved into my heart.
- You'd rather die than marry me. - Young Master.
Well-said, Miss Xue Er.
I can't bear to have you dead.
Nor am I willing to see you dead.
Jin Yuan Bao, have you gone insane?
You knew that Xue Er and I have pledged till death do us part.
Why do you have to take her as your concubine?
We've been friends for over 20 years already!
Chang Feng, friends are as close as siblings
while women are like clothing.
You said it yourself
that we've been friends for some 20 years now.
Why would you destroy our friendship for the sake of a woman?
Why would any man be worried about not being able to have a wife?
I'll get you one in the future.
Jin Yuan Bao!
Chang Feng!
How can you even say such words?
You're a sick lunatic!
Listen up! I don't want anyone except for Xue Er!
I haven't gone crazy. You're the one who is insane.
You're completely infatuated by this woman.
Chang Feng, one day you will understand that
everything I did was for your own good.
I won't understand that.
I won't ever understand that!
I'm warning you. You'd better release Xue Er right now.
Release her now!
And dismiss the decision to take her as your concubine!
Or I will never let you off!
Do as you wish. Take him away.
Yes!
- Move. - Let go of me.
- Move it! - Xue Er!
- Chang Feng! - Xue Er!
- Chang Feng!
Jin Yuan Bao, why are you doing this?
Let me out right away!
Jin Yuan Bao, you're a lunatic.
You're the one who betrayed me in the first place.
Don't blame me for dealing with you.
It's not enough. I'll give you a stronger dosage.
This won't do. I have to give it a bigger boost of a dose.
I'll let this evil man pay a price for it with his life!
Even if Jin Yuan Bao was dumb, he wouldn't drink anything that smells so bad.
Are you here to reason with me again?
You're such a persistent dork.
I...
I'm here to bring you your medication.
You... You don't seem to be very energetic these days.
I've brewed you a concoction to settle your nerves.
Didn't you say that you wouldn't let me off easily?
What now? Have you changed your mind?
You're too abnormal these days.
You must be ill.
I'm a doctor so... I want to cure you.
It's good that you haven't forgotten that you are a doctor.
Doctors must follow a code of ethics.
They aren't allowed to drug anyone at will.
Otherwise, they might kill someone.
I...
I don't believe that I can't drug you.
This won't be a problem.
It's too big. This will be easily spotted.
This is it!
What are you doing here again?
I've left something behind.
You've left something behind?
Is it your soul that you've left behind?
Where is it?
I heard you've assumed office at the Bureau of Weaponry.
- Your mother's here! - My mother?
My mother's not here.
I was mistaken.
Understood.
- Your father's here! - My father?
My father's been dead for years.
Understood.
Have some water.
Are you very warm?
Hot... It's really hot in the room.
It's so hot.
I'm sorry!
Are you all right? Are you all right?
Go and get your trousers changed.
This tea might have been spiked.
Brainless.
Cunning...
You're really cunning.
I have to come up with an even better way to deal with someone like you.
This one... I'll let you itch all over.
This one... I'll let you have the runs for days.
Chicken broth will expedite the effects of the drugs.
The effect will be doubled.
You're doomed to suffer.
Am I being too mean?
He can't blame me.
You are the mean one.
I could only be mean to a mean person.
Young Master, I'll take my leave.
Physician Gu, what is it?
Hold this.
This smells so good. This is...
Take this in to Yuan Bao.
Me take it to him? Why don't you take it to him, yourself?
He wouldn't drink it if I take it to him.
No, that's not what I mean.
I mean to say that Yuan Bao has been having a bit of a squabble with me.
He gets annoyed when he sees me.
You should take it to him.
I understand. I'll take this to him.
You mustn't tell him that this is from me.
I get it.
Young Master.
Have some chicken broth.
When did you learn how to stew chicken broth?
This was made by someone else who had Ah Fu bring it in to you.
Try it. This chicken broth smells so good.
All right, leave it.
- I'll help myself to it. - Sure.
Young Master, I'll get going.
He's going to drink it...
Such a poisonous soup...
He's really going to drink it...
What is the matter?
Chicken broth is spoiled... You can't drink it.
Why can't I drink it?
It smells very good.
It's spoiled. Anyway, it's spoiled.
It's spoiled...
Xue Er, this is all my fault.
I'm so useless.
One more step and I was almost there!
But I couldn't do it!
Chang Feng, what do you mean by that?
Do you mean to say that you've done something to Jin Yuan Bao?
I was just a step away.
I really hate myself!
Chang Feng, no matter what happens you mustn't do anything silly.
Xue Er, stay out of this.
For your sake, I'm definitely going to man up for once.
Chang Feng! Chang Feng!
Chang Feng! Don't do anything silly!
Young Master!
Physician Gu asked me to hand this to you.
A cartel for a duel? He's challenging me to a duel?
