[Perfect Couple]
Episode Twenty-Nine
It means that Xue Er, no...
Jiang Xiao Xuan is your wife!
That marriage was forced upon me.
Yu Qi Ling is the only one I love.
The bestowed marriage is nothing.
Don't worry.
I know that you are both truly in love with each other.
I won't betray my buddy.
What's the matter?
So Xue Er is actually the daughter of the Prime Minister.
If my mother learns of this, she is sure to say that she's too good for me.
Why are you still talking about this?
Our priority is to keep them alive.
You're right!
We have to keep them alive.
But if they don't get sick
I don't know what else I can do to keep them alive.
I've already prepared a horse-drawn carriage and some money.
Take them with you and leave this place as soon as possible.
All right... But what about you?
Let's get through this obstacle first.
Once their identity crisis is over
I'll try to marry Yu Qi Ling after she has recovered her identity.
By then, you can reunite with Jiang Xiao Xuan.
All right... But why won't you tell Yu Qi Ling the truth?
Why would you torment the both of them?
If she knows the truth she'd never agree to leave.
I have to keep her alive first.
That is my priority.
This is all I can do for her now.
As for the rest... I can't say for sure.
It's all in the hands of the gods.
[Bureau of Weaponry]
Is this the divorce plea you submitted to Empress Dowager?
Since Empress Dowager bestowed the marriage, now that I want a divorce
I should report it to Her Highness.
Empress Dowager sent someone to return this divorce plea back to me today.
Nothing else has been said.
You're so un-filial that you plan to have everyone in the family killed?
Since you have no concern for your responsibility
as the offspring of Jin family
there is nothing I can do as your mother.
But I am also ashamed to face the ancestors of Jin family.
With this letter that I wrote in my own blood
I declare that you're no longer my son!
Mother!
You gave birth to me and raised me.
You gave me everything that I have.
The inheritance of Jin Family the Bureau of Weaponry
and all the family assets
are all worldly possessions.
You can take them all back.
But this is the only thing that I can't allow you to do.
I am your son.
No matter what you do, you can't take away that bloodline.
I won't allow you to do so either!
Since that is what you think
why would you defy my wishes and insist on divorcing your wife?
Tell me!
I have already decided.
I will never change my mind.
But why would you do this?
Madam Jin.
Young Master Jin.
You are such a loving pair, mother and son.
Why would you hurt each other for the sake of an outsider like me?
I was never good enough for Young Master Jin.
I will leave this place.
You seem to be in a great mood today.
Are you going out?
Yes, I'm going out to look at houses.
Come along with me.
Look at houses?
Are you going to buy one?
Why can't I buy one?
Yuan Bao is divorcing his wife and Auntie has given tough orders.
Jin family's hereditary status Bureau of Weaponry
and all the family assets will not be inherited by Jin Yuan Bao.
Cousin Yuan Bao's divorce has caused such a huge fuss.
It seems to be coming true.
So what if it's coming true?
So what if he gets a divorce?
Do you still want to marry Jin Yuan Bao as his concubine?
Thank you, gods.
You have finally discovered my unwavering love for my cousin.
Liu Qian Qian!
Did you not hear a word that I just said to you?
Auntie is extremely disappointed in Jin Yuan Bao now
she needs someone to help run the Jin household.
She will also need someone trustworthy to take over Bureau of Weaponry.
Besides Jin Yuan Bao, who else is the closest to Auntie?
It's me, Liu Wen Zhao!
Listen up! In no time everything here in Jin manor will be mine!
Jin Yuan Bao will just be a pauper! Why would you still like him?
Now I understand why you wanted to blow Yuan Bao into pieces.
You crave the riches of Jin Family and the Bureau of Weaponry.
You want to take the place of Cousin Yuan Bao!
Do you know what you're saying? You could get me killed.
- Do you know that? - I'm not being nonsensical.
I heard you talking to Ah Gui with my own ears.
Did you tell anyone else?
Fortunately, Cousin Yuan Bao was lucky enough to escape unscathed.
I won't say this to anyone else.
But I'm warning you.
If you dare to harm Cousin Yuan Bao again
I'll tell Auntie about it!
I am your brother!
Qian Qian, our parents died young.
As siblings, we've supported each other.
Ask yourself. How have I treated you?
Did I do all this for myself?
I'm doing this for the both of us.
I want you to be able to be married off with great splendor.
Do you understand?
I know that you dote on me.
But you should also know how much I like our cousin.
You want to harm him
and that's as good as taking my life!
Qian Qian, Yuan Bao is already married and he doesn't care about you.
Why are you so silly?
I don't want my only sister to become a concubine.
Qian Qian, listen to me.
Just lead your life as the Lady of the Manor and stay out of this matter.
Don't interfere with my ambition
unless...
- Unless you want me dead. - No!
You're my only brother.
How could I possibly let you die?
Then don't tell Auntie about anything.
Go back to your room.
Don't think about anything unhappy, all right?
Miss.
Sir, I have already made an appointment with the owner of that manor.
All right, I'll be there.
And... keep a close eye on Qian Qian.
Yes.
Stop waiting.
Let's leave now.
Qi Ling...
Stop waiting for him.
Let's leave now.
Didn't you say you were leaving?
What are you still doing here?
You'd better get going if you're leaving.
Close the doors.
Has Young Mistress left?
Physician Gu and Miss Xue Er left with her.
What about Jin Yuan Bao?
He was standing at the door not uttering a word.
It seems that he's really put his foot down this time.
I think so.
Jin Yuan Bao is serious about divorcing his wife.
He is obviously digging his own grave.
He just ended the marriage bond between the Jins and Jiangs with his own hands.
Congratulations, Sir. Your plan has succeeded.
He doesn't want me anymore.
He really doesn't want me anymore.
I can't keep it in anymore.
I have to say it out loud.
I'll be too bottled up if I don't say it out loud!
What are you doing?
Don't upset her even more.
Yuan Bao is in too much pain.
What happened?
Yuan Bao loves you.
What did you say?
He drove you away because he's trying to protect you.
Yuan Bao wouldn't let me tell you the truth.
But I can't keep it from you anymore.
It hurts me to see the both of you in such torment.
Yuan Bao already knows about your true identity.
What did you say?
He knows you're not Prime Minister Jiang's daughter.
You are Yu Qi Ling.
He also knows that you're not Xue Er.
You are Jiang Xiao Xuan.
He also know that once your identities are exposed
you'll both be killed.
He also know that if he were to tell you about this
you'd never have left.
He's only driving you away in order to protect you.
Although he looks so mean on the outside
I know that he is more upset than anyone else!
Stop the carriage!
Qi Ling!
What are you doing back here?
Didn't I tell you to get lost?
You're such a shameless woman.
I've already said that I don't want you.
What are you still doing here?
I told you to get lost!
I told you to get lost. Don't you understand?
Get lost! I told you to get lost!
Stop pretending, silly.
Chang Feng has already told me the truth.
This time, no matter what you say
I'll never leave you again.
I'll never ever leave you again.
My Lady, Young Mistress has come home.
I heard that she has reconciled with Young Master.
He was going to divorce his wife in the morning
and they have reconciled in the afternoon?
I don't know either.
I saw them walking towards here.
I think that they are coming over to ask for your forgiveness.
They are such a pair of quarrelsome lovers.
Your son and daughter-in-law greet Mother.
Greetings, Mother.
Do I have a son?
Or a daughter-in-law?
I only remembered that my son wanted to get a divorce
so we have broken off all ties?
Mother, don't be angry.
This is all my fault.
I apologize to you.
I hope that you can forgive me.
Your marriage was imperially bestowed.
You think that you can divorce your wife whenever you want to?
You even submitted a divorce plea to Empress Dowager?
You, Jiang Xiao Xuan.
Didn't you just swear that you'd never ever come into Jin Manor again?
Are you going back on the words that you said in the morning?
You have both been so flippant.
What do you take the words of Empress Dowager for?
And what of the reputation of Jin Family?
Mother, I know that I've done wrong.
I was muddleheaded for a while
and stirred up so much trouble in our family.
This time, Xiao Xuan and I will be together for good.
I hope that Mother can forgive us.
You've made such a huge commotion.
Xiao Xuan, what do you say?
I know that I've done wrong as well.
I promise not to make a scene anymore.
We'll definitely be with each other and lead our lives together.
I'll be a good daughter-in-law.
Leading your lives together isn't enough.
I want the both of you to listen to me carefully.
From now on
you must always put your personal affairs aside.
Put Jin Family as your top priority. Do you hear me?
In the future, you don't have to make a fuss to break up.
If you do anything to damage the reputation of the family
I'll throw the both of you out.
Do you believe me?
I will abide by your teachings.
I will keep that in mind.
All right, you may both get up now.
- Thank you, Mother. - Thank you, Mother.
Mother, I'll take my leave now.
Go on.
There's something that I've meant to tell you for a long time.
Go ahead.
My name is Yu Qi Ling.
I know that.
What? You know that?
When did you find out?
Could it be that time when your hearing was poor
but you could actually hear me?
You lied to me!
Jin Yuan Bao, you're such a jerk.
You're still so dumb.
You still came back despite knowing it would be dangerous.
I've never met anyone as dumb as you.
You don't even want your life anymore?
Yes, I don't even want my life anymore.
Even if I have to die I want to die with you.
I said that you're dumb and you still won't admit it?
How can you be with me if you're dead?
Moreover, I won't let you die.
My name is Jiang Xiao Xuan.
You can call me Xuan Xuan or Xiao Xuan.
Xue Er... no, I mean Xiao Xuan.
Xuan... Ah Xuan...
I've always called you Xue Er.
But now that you've changed your name I'd need a few days to get used to it.
And you... I've always called you Xiao Xuan.
Should I call you Qi Ling now?
Just call me Ling Er.
Ling Er, Qi Ling, Xiao Ling, Ah Ling...
They all sound pretty nice.
All right, stop teasing him.
If he has a slip of the tongue when he speaks to my mother
we'll all be doomed.
You're right.
It's fine if you call her Xiao Ling.
My Xiao Ling.
Xuan Xuan, look! What is that?
Xiao Xuan... Qi Ling...
Qi Ling... Xiao Xuan.
I remember it now.
Got it.
Qi Ling, Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan, Qi Ling.
You said they have reconciled again?
Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.
They are even more intimate than ever.
He made such a commotion with trying to divorce his wife
and infuriated Madam Jin so much.
Then they reconcile so soon?
Is this just a child's game?
Should we wait and observe for a while?
I could wait and observe.
But Second Prince won't have the patience for that.
There's another thing that I find really weird.
Tell me.
They are calling each other with different names now.
Physician Gu is calling Miss Xue Er as Xiao Xuan now.
He calls Young Mistress as Qi Ling.
What about Jin Yuan Bao?
Jin Yuan Bao calls Young Mistress as Qi Ling as well.
I see.
That's quite a trick with the divorce.
Jin Yuan Bao, you were just putting on an act.
You almost fooled me.
It seems that I've underestimated you.
You mean that there's a problem with Young Mistress' identity?
Of course! She isn't the daughter of the Prime Minister, Jiang Xiao Xuan!
This is really true?
It seems that you already knew about this secret.
But why didn't you rat them out?
This is the marriage that Empress Dowager bestowed.
This woman dared to take on a false identity and marry into Jin Family.
This is Lèse-majesté!
Sir, you've always wanted to break that marriage bond between them
and this is your best chance.
I didn't expose them because it wasn't the right time to do so.
I thought I was the only one who knew about this huge secret.
Now it seems that the four of them were keeping the secret together all along.
They have been covering up for each other.
They were all lying to me.
I nearly forgot to use this against them.
Fortunately, they are all back in the Manor now.
Jin Yuan Bao wanted a divorce for the sake of that woman.
But she came back so recklessly without any fear.
I've already given her many chances.
But she only has eyes for Jin Yuan Bao.
She'd rather sacrifice her life for Jin Yuan Bao.
So the real Jiang Xiao Xuan is still in the Manor right now?
She's even willing to be with a mere physician.
Isn't that just so weird?
Sir... Pardon me for being bold and saying this to you
but this is the best time for you to make use of this secret.
You must expose this matter to Madam Jin immediately.
It won't be appropriate, Ah Gui.
If I expose this matter to Madam Jin now
she is bound to ask me how I know about this matter.
I would also be exposed to Jin Yuan Bao.
Then...
They call each other by their real names
so they won't do that just this once.
Now that Jin Yuan Bao has Yu Qi Ling back in his arms
he is bound to be off his guard.
Once he is relaxed there will be a slip-up.
Madam Jin is extremely smart.
Once these slip-ups appear she is bound to notice them.
As long as the relationship between both mother and son goes awry
then Jin Manor and their Bureau of Weaponry
will both be yours.
Young Mistress.
Cousin Wen Zhao.
What are you doing?
I am making a pouch.
You are dismissed.
There are so many servants around why don't you get them to do it?
Yuan Bao and I have been married for so long now.
But I've never given him a gift yet.
So I want to make him a pouch by myself.
You have to keep this a secret for me.
I want it to be a surprise.
Honestly, you have such a free spirit you'd have lived well on your own.
I don't understand why you came back.
Jin Manor is a place of trouble.
It's not suitable for you.
I know that.
But I don't want to be apart from Yuan Bao.
Other than Yuan Bao, you've never considered any other men?
No matter how great other men are it means nothing to me.
Moreover, Jin Yuan Bao has such a horrible and foul temper.
Only I could put up with him.
I'll save others from being tormented by him.
So you have decided not to leave Jin Manor
and neither will you leave Jin Yuan Bao?
Of course not.
Jin Yuan Bao and I have already decided that
we will always be together no matter what happens.
Nobody nor nothing can tear us apart.
Greetings, Auntie.
You're home.
Have a seat.
Auntie, you already look a lot better.
Yes, Xiao Xuan has come home already.
Yuan Bao no longer wants a divorce.
Thank goodness for that.
This crisis is finally over.
What a quarrelsome couple.
Auntie, I'm actually here for that matter.
There's something that I don't know if I should tell you.
About Xiao Xuan and Yuan Bao?
- Yes. - Why shouldn't you tell me?
Tell me right away.
I accidentally overheard Yuan Bao calling Young Mistress as Yu Qi Ling.
And Chang Feng called Miss Xue Er as Jiang Xiao Xuan.
I know that there must be something wrong
but I don't dare to make any assumptions.
That's why I thought that I should come to you for... advice.
What?
Did you hear them correctly?
I am sure that I heard them correctly.
If I was not sure about it
I wouldn't have come to tell you.
- I will take my leave now. - Go on.
Come on, let's have a toast!
- Cheers! - Here we go!
Greetings, Madam Jin.
I'll inform Young Master and Young Mistress now.
Don't bother. You are dismissed.
I'll take my leave now.
The four of us are finally reunited.
I've been Yu Qi Ling for 20 years now
but now I have to be called
Jiang Xiao Xuan... that is really frustrating.
It's great now that we can call each other by our real names.
Am I right?
- Let's celebrate! Another toast! - Here, here!
Cheers!
I think that... we shouldn't call each other by our real names.
There are too many people here in Jin Manor.
If we have a slip of the tongue
we'll get into serious trouble that would cost us our lives.
You're right.
From now on, even if there are only the four of us around
we shouldn't use your real names.
In case we get used to it
we'd let the cat out of the bag in front of others. Then we're doomed.
Yu Qi Ling... Jiang Xiao Xuan.
No, I'm still not used to it.
You're such a dork.
If you get it wrong, you're going to get us all killed.
Look how much you've frightened Chang Feng.
Forget it.
You should just call them what we used to call them. Get it?
Just in case you let the cat out of the bag.
Right, now I know about your real names
I don't know what to call you.
I think that you shouldn't call us by our real names.
If Madam Jin visits us unexpectedly
and sees you like this
we will all be in big trouble.
That wouldn't happen.
If my mother visits us unexpectedly
the servants would be here to inform us.
Don't worry about that.
- That's right. - All right now.
Let's not talk about unpleasant topics.
We should all be more cautious, all right?
- Here! - Here!
- Clink the glasses! - Cheers!
Cheers!
How outrageous!
My Lady, please calm down and don't get too upset.
No wonder he was acting all weird a while ago.
He was trying to cover up the identity of this wild scamp.
They teamed up to lie to me!
The son that I raised for 20 years ganged up with them to lie to me!
Yes, that was unexpected.
How did this happen, Auntie?
I've really raised an un-filial son!
For 20 years, I've placed all my hopes in him.
I've given him everything.
But what use is that?
Why would I raise such an un-filial son?
For the sake of this wild woman he has placed her safety
as his priority above the family!
Auntie, calm down. Perhaps, Young Master was just a bit foolish.
This is a very serious matter.
It concerns Empress Dowager and Crown Prince.
If we don't resolve this issue immediately
we will all be in serious trouble.
Wen Zhao, come over here.
Auntie, I await your orders.
Wen Zhao, go and fetch Yuan Bao.
Greetings, Mother.
I wonder why Mother has summoned me?
I need you to run an errand.
I await your orders, Mother.
There is a report from Bureau of Weaponry.
There's a problem with the newly produced batch of weapons.
We have yet to resolve the accident of the backfired cannon
and now we have problems with the new weapons.
I'm concerned that Empress Dowager will lose her trust in us.
This is a serious matter.
I want you to examine them immediately.
Sure, I'll inform Xiao Xuan first and then I'll get going on the task.
It's urgent and the horse-drawn carriage is already waiting outside.
Why don't you get going now?
Yes, I'll follow your orders.
Auntie.
Carry out my orders.
Yes.
Young Mistress.
Madam Jin has asked you to go over.
Where's Young Master?
He's gone to Bureau of Weaponry.
All right, when will he be home?
I reckon it will be later tonight.
By the way, Miss Xue Er is also waiting for you at Madam's quarters.
Xue Er is there as well?
Yes.
- I'll go over there now. - Yes.
Mother, why have you asked us here?
- Yu Qi Ling! - Yes?
Jiang Xiao Xuan!
She is indeed an imposter!
Mother, what are you talking about?
You know very well what I am talking about.
What do I know very well?
I just called you Yu Qi Ling
and you answered.
I called you Jiang Xiao Xuan but you didn't answer.
Are you Jiang Xiao Xuan or Yu Qi Ling?
Come clean now!
You've misunderstood, Mother.
I'm definitely the Jiang Xiao Xuan the bridal parade carried to the Manor.
It's just that my pet name is called Qi Ling.
That was why I answered to it just now.
You really are a good liar.
I've overheard every word that you and Yuan Bao said in your chamber.
You are not Jiang Xiao Xuan at all.
Speak up!
Who are you exactly?
Why are you pretending to be Prime Minister Jiang's daughter?
Since you already know about this matter
I won't keep it from you anymore.
I am not Jiang Xiao Xuan.
I am Yu Qi Ling.
What a sly and cunning woman.
How dare you sound so justified when you have been lying?
There is a reason for this.
That day, I happened to barge into Heng Chang Inn by accident.
I couldn't get out of there then.
Then I was suddenly dressed up as the bride
and... taken to the wedding ceremony.
You are still making up excuses now.
You've been married into Jin family for several months now.
If it had been a mistake you could have explained it to us by now.
But I can see that you pride yourself as the Young Mistress
and made up lies after lies
to cover up your true identity.
I...
Madam Jin...
This all happened because I ran away from the wedding.
Qi Ling was then married into Jin Manor by accident.
Since they are already married
there's no other way out.
Qi Ling was too timid to tell the truth.
Just blame this all on me.
This did happen because of me.
Please pardon, Qi Ling.
You'll definitely be punished for what you have done.
We'll deal with Yu Qi Ling first.
Yu Qi Ling, you're a wild-bred bitch.
You took on a false identity to marry into Jin Family.
This is obviously out of your greed for the wealth of Jin Family.
You want a life of wealth.
That is definitely a fat hope!
That's nonsense!
Who gives a damn about your wealth?
Jin Yuan Bao is the man I love!
How dare you still talk like that?
Shameless!
You seduced my son senseless
and had him infatuated.
You stirred up so much trouble in the once peaceful Jin Manor.
Are you trying to get Yuan Bao and the entire household killed before you give up?
So much for being a respectable lady.
You don't want the bestowed marriage from Empress Dowager
but instead you'd rather be with a physician here in our Manor.
Not only did you go beneath your status and shame yourself
but you've also treated the bestowed marriage as a child's game.
Aren't you ashamed to face your parents?
And Jin manor? And Empress Dowager?
No wonder your mother looked so weird when she came to the birthday banquet.
She must have known but didn't dare to expose this matter.
Fine! If she doesn't dare to do it then I will.
I will settle this scandal for your parents.
Wen Zhao!
My Lady. Arrest them!
- Get up! - I'll take full responsibility!
- What are you doing? - Let go of Xiao Xuan!
Just take it out on me!
Let go of Qi Ling!
This is all my fault!
Let her go!
All right, stop fighting over that.
Neither of you can escape.
Wen Zhao! I 'll leave them to you!
Yes. Take them away!
Move!
