[Perfect Couple]
Episode Thirty-Three.
- Feed her the medication. - Yes.
I won't! I don't want to take the medication!
This medicine is quite effective.
Midwife?
I'm a good person. Don't be scared.
- You're a good person? - Exactly.
I'm a good person.
I want to ask you about a matter.
Do you remember delivering a child in Jin Manor?
I do. I remember it clearly.
Tell me about it.
That fat little boy's head was too big.
He couldn't make it out.
He made his mother hurt so much.
I grabbed onto the boy and pulled him out by force.
Which Madam gave birth to him?
What Madam?
She was just a concubine!
Madam didn't give birth to him? It was the concubine?
It was Concubine Wang.
Her child was taken away from her the moment he was born.
Concubine Wang cried so much.
- Little sparrow... - Who took him away?
Floral clothes...
Tell me who took the child away!
- Lost his mother... He's so sad... - Speak!
There's a fly! A fly!
She's had a relapse again.
A fly!
Feed her the medicine regularly.
I'm going to get some valuable information out of her next time.
Yes.
Have you argued with Qi Ling again?
No.
You still deny it?
It's written all over your face.
Qi Ling was born and raised in the wild.
Her manners are poor.
She talked back to you so I reprimanded her a bit.
You don't really have to be so strict with Qi Ling.
She cares about the midwife because she is kind.
She sympathizes with the poor and the weak.
But there might not be any leads in this case.
I'm worried you might work hard for nothing.
I find this matter very strange as well.
If it is blackmail
there's nothing to gain from it.
If it's human trafficking there's even less to benefit from it.
Perhaps she knows a secret of some sort.
Did she say anything at the village when you visited last time?
This midwife is already quite senile.
What could she possibly have said?
If it gets really serious
she might not even be able to have a conversation.
I've heard about that as well.
This midwife has been crazy for years.
She keeps talking nonsense.
No one believes anything she says.
What a pitiful woman.
Mother, I'll take my leave now.
All right.
Excuse me, have you seen an old lady who is about this height?
- No. - She's about this tall and...
Excuse me, have you seen an old lady who is about this height?
No.
- Have you seen an old lady? - No.
- Have you seen her? - No.
Have you seen an old lady who is about this height
an average figure and looks very kind?
No.
I have a lead to finding the midwife.
You know the midwife is almost insane and senile.
If someone wants to get any information out of her
they would have to treat her illness.
Do you still have the prescription the doctor gave her?
Are you still mad at me?
I didn't mean to keep you in the dark about your mother's disappearance.
I was worried that you’d panic so I didn't tell you.
And I have been looking for her privately.
I have an idea.
Whoever abducted your mother must be thinking about using your identity
to stir up some trouble.
I think that this person is Second Prince.
If this really is the case
your mother should be safe.
Are you sure that it's Second Prince?
Are you really sure that my mother is safe?
When Second Prince came over on my mother's birthday
couldn't you tell that he was up to no good?
If Second Prince is really behind this
your mother is a very important bargaining chip to him.
That's why I believe that your mother is definitely very safe at the moment.
I hope so.
No matter what, I have to find my mother as soon as possible.
Don't worry.
Our priority is to find your mother.
Believe me. I would not let your mother get hurt.
Don't worry.
It will be fine.
Madam.
It's you, young man.
Please have a seat, Madam.
Young Mistress had these dishes especially made for you.
This child is so filial.
Madam, Young Mistress' identity is very sensitive.
She's at an inconvenience to leave the Manor these days.
A little later when Young Mistress gets some time to herself
she will definitely come to visit you.
Thank you so much.
Last time at E-Mei Mountain
you were the one who came to save us as well.
You're too polite.
Young Mistress trusts me enough to reveal her true identity to me.
Therefore I treat Young Mistress as my best friend.
I'll definitely do my best to serve you.
Qi Ling's fortunate to have known you.
Madam, please just call me Ah Gui.
By the way, your last name is Yu.
This is such a rare surname.
Yes, I took my husband's surname.
His family is from outside the eastern side of the Great Wall.
Although he died young
I took his surname and continued to use it.
Why didn't you stay out East?
Why did you move to E-Mei Mountain with Young Mistress?
It's a long story.
After my husband passed away
I had no other family and his family didn't want me.
So they drove me away.
I could only go to E-Mei Mountain.
Then I adopted Qi Ling.
Madam raised Young Mistress with much hardship.
It really hasn't been easy for you.
All sufferings have their rewards.
You can now enjoy the later half of your life.
I just hope that my child can have a good life.
Please rest assured, Madam.
Young Mistress married into Jin Manor
and she will lead a life of luxury
free of worries from now on.
Madam, I will take my leave now.
Recently, there's been some bad people looking for you in E-Mei Mountain.
Young Mistress said that she's worried about you being used to stir up trouble.
That's why she ordered me to bring you here.
You must be very cautious while you are here.
You should refrain from going out as much as you can.
Try not to be seen wandering outside.
- I'll come to visit you. - All right, I understand.
Madam, don't worry.
I'll definitely do my best to carry out Young Mistress' orders.
Thank you.
This is already packed for you.
Here's the money.
Please come again.
- Sir. - How is it?
We've got the information.
A man in his forties came twice with the prescription for this medication.
He said that it is for his mother.
The shop assistant said that this man is called Cui Hao.
He's a gangster here in the city.
It's said that his parents have already passed away years ago.
We also checked his place.
There's no one there at all.
His neighbors said they have never seen his family before.
He's here.
[Qianwu Pharmacy]
Sir, take care.
In my opinion, I'll only give him five pennies.
That's more than enough.
Wang Qiang, Ma Zhong. Follow him.
- Yes. - Yes.
How is it? Did you find anything?
No. This is strange.
Could he have flown away?
Sir, I saw Cui Hao enter that residence over there.
- Go after him. - Yes!
Sir, is this the midwife?
- I know the baby... - It is her.
Where is he?
We've finally found her.
Sir, you're so smart.
I suspected Cui Hao was trying to divert our attention.
It is exactly that.
He couldn't have gone far. Go and arrest him!
- Yes! - Yes!
Grandmother, don't be scared.
We are here to rescue you.
I recognize you!
Yes, I was at Eastern Luhe.
Do you remember?
You're here again.
You're here again!
You must remember to be nice to her.
Did you manage to get anything out of her?
That old hag's condition is very unstable at times.
She often stops halfway through sentences.
But she should be fine after a few more days of medication.
We're running out of time.
Yu Qi Ling has been looking everywhere for her as well.
That's true.
Jin Yuan Bao is also helping her in the search.
This morning, I saw some detectives at the pharmacy near the Eastern Gate.
Why didn't you tell me about this sooner?
I wasn't sure about their identities then.
It could just be a coincidence.
It's better to be cautious. Move the midwife elsewhere.
Tell Cui Hao not to go to that pharmacy anymore.
Yes.
Greetings, Madam Jin.
Where is Young Mistress?
Young Mistress is out.
Where has she gone?
She's left the Manor early this morning.
Did she mention where she is going or what she is off to do?
Young Mistress didn't mention it
but I heard her telling Young Master that she's looking for a grandmother.
Has she been going out every day?
Yes, she's been going out early and comes home late.
She's even changed into coarse clothes.
I'm also very puzzled.
- All right, you're dismissed. - Yes, I'll take my leave now.
Make good use of the time and tidy up
the interior and exterior of the quarters.
Yes.
- Auntie Gu. - Mister Liu.
You're here to see Madam Jin?
Yes.
She just went over to Young Mistress' quarters.
She's gone over to Young Mistress' quarters?
Thank you.
You've asked to see me?
I heard that you've been out all day long searching for someone.
That's right.
I thought that it would have been an easy task
for Young Mistress Jin to find a missing person.
Little did I expect that you would have no luck with it.
You've never been concerned about the midwife.
Be straightforward with me about what you want.
There are so many chores here in Jin Manor.
Why should I be concerned about a crazy dying old hag?
Then why would you care whether I've found the midwife or not?
Yu Qi Ling, as the Young Mistress of Jin Manor
you shouldn't be out in the public or wandering about on the street.
How is that appropriate?
This is a matter of life and death. Who cares about reputation?
The person who abducted the midwife must be gloating right now.
What do you mean by that?
I mean that the person who abducted the midwife must be gloating now.
Mother, I didn't say that it's you. Why are you so nervous?
What sort of a daughter-in-law speaks to her mother-in-law like that?
I meant well but you've twisted my words.
What is your intention?
I know exactly what is on your mind.
You know it even better than I do.
I hope you can stop trying to talk in riddles.
Young Mistress!
The midwife is back!
Madam! Young Mistress!
Young Master has brought the dirty hag home!
I've found the person that you've been looking for.
Grandmother Liu, are you all right?
Were they nice to you?
Since I've found her for you can you calm down a bit now?
Auntie.
What do you mean by that?
When have I not been calm?
Mother, I'll walk you to your room?
I won't say a word!
It's all right.
You're a crazy old hag!
What nonsense are you trying to say?
Why are you staring at my mother like that?
My mother didn't frighten her.
Yuan Bao, where did you find her?
I had my own leads.
I found her in a dilapidated house near the suburbs.
When we found her the kidnappers had already fled.
Grandmother, do you still remember who abducted you?
Don't panic. Speak slowly.
Who abducted you?
I don't know! I won't take medicine!
Medicine?
Who wanted you to take medicine?
Tell me quickly.
I don't want to...
How would she dare say anything with so many people here?
Stop pushing her.
Don't you want to know who abducted her?
Even if she knew, she'd be too scared to say it in front of everyone.
You mean whoever abducted her is among us now?
That person should know very well.
You're not to talk to Mother in that manner!
- I don't know... - Yu Qi Ling!
It's because you're kind and helpful to the weak
that I don't hold a grudge against you about this.
Don't get too cocky.
You have no manners at all when you speak to me.
I've already got her back for you.
Are you satisfied now?
If you are, then leave now.
I will.
I won't take the medicine...
I didn't expect Jin Yuan Bao to act so swiftly.
Who knows when this crazy hag will suddenly become normal?
We have both shown our faces to her.
If she tells anyone about us
we'll all be doomed.
Why don't I...
We don't know how much Jin Yuan Bao and Yu Qi Ling are informed of.
I'll go and probe around for a bit.
You'll act accordingly.
Yes.
What do you plan to do?
I once wanted to find Midwife Liu
so she can tell him the truth about his birth.
But the last time we went to E-Mei Mountain
when I brought Yuan Bao to my mother in person
I realized that there's no way they could reunite.
Which is why I was eager to find a witness to the past when I returned.
That's true. It was too sudden.
Who would believe that the woman who raised him for 20 years
isn't his biological mother?
I used to be worried the midwife would never regain her senses
and no one would be able to reveal the truth.
But now I think that none of this matters anymore.
I wanted to find her so that I could ensure her safety.
So you don't plan to have him reunite with your mother?
Here.
In Jin Manor, I can tell that Madam Jin treats Jin Yuan Bao
like her own flesh and blood.
Her love for him is definitely no less than my mother's.
Jin Yuan Bao respects and adores Madam Jin very much.
I think that he won't be able to accept the truth.
What about your mother?
Yuan Bao is her biological son.
I've already lied to Yuan Bao once.
I don't want him to be hurt again.
I just want him to be happy and blissful.
My mother must want the same for him as well.
I hope that Yuan Bao can understand all the effort that you've made for him.
We'll just let the past be a secret.
Now that Midwife Liu is back
we have to be even more cautious.
We'll take turns looking after her.
She mustn't be hurt again.
Sure, I'll come over to change shifts with you in the evening.
20 years ago... Everyone wants to know about it...
Grandmother Liu, have you regained your senses?
20 years ago... Everyone wants to know about it...
20 years ago...
What is it about 20 years ago?
And then?
Grandmother Liu?
Young Mistress.
- Cousin Wen Zhao. - I'm here to see the midwife.
Grandmother Liu!
It seems that Grandmother Liu is really scared of me.
She's not scared of you.
She's scared of strangers.
Did she tell you who abducted her?
I thought that she had regained her senses just now
and could tell me about it.
So I tried to ask her and realized she still makes no sense.
But I think that if she can eat and sleep well for a while
she should be able to regain her senses very soon.
That's good then.
I have to brew her medicine for her.
- I'll go with you. - Sure.
You don't look so well these past few days.
Have you quarreled with Yuan Bao again?
He's always been a showoff since he was little.
He has a kind heart but he deliberately sounds mean.
So if you feel wronged
just try to be a bit more understanding of him.
No, I didn't quarrel with him.
It's good that you didn't.
What are the both of you doing together again?
It was getting very late so I walked her back here.
You walk her back? This is her home would she get lost?
Do you think she is some three-year-old?
Why are you talking like this?
You can quarrel with me all you want but leave other people out of it.
Would you please not quarrel because of me?
Quarrel because of you?
Who do you think you are?
What are you?
Jin Yuan Bao, could you just shut your trap?
Come back with me.
Why are you with him again?
What do you mean by saying that I'm with him again?
Why would he be with me if nothing's happened?
He went to visit the midwife.
He happened to have the medicine with him and brought it over.
Why has he visited the midwife?
He's a friend so why can't he come over to show some concern?
He's even put in a good word for you and told me to be more understanding.
Do you think that everyone is as petty as you are?
Do I need him to put in a good word for me?
If you can be so devoted to a random midwife
why can't you make a better effort to get along with my mother?
I...
You... Do you think that I'm so unreasonable?
Do you really think that I want to quarrel with your mother?
All right, don't be angry anymore.
I was being too hot-tempered.
Let's get along nicely from now on.
We'll be a harmonious family, all right?
It's so rare to hear you sound so soft-mannered.
Fine! You made it sound as if I was picking on your mother.
I'll go and feed medicine to the midwife with you tomorrow?
Tomorrow? No, we should go tonight.
Tonight? It's already so late.
I don't care how late it is. We'll go together when the medicine is ready.
- I... - Come on! Let's go now.
My Lady, are you still worried about that Midwife Liu?
I heard the old hag is extremely crazy.
She only eats and drinks.
If not, she is always singing.
It won't be a problem.
How could I not be worried?
We won't know for sure when that old hag might suddenly regain her senses.
What would we do then?
Moreover, there's also that wild girl, Yu Qi Ling.
She is quite persistent so who knows if she'll make her normal again?
My Lady, what about this idea?
I'll have a look at that old hag to see what condition she is in.
I'll go in person.
Otherwise, I won't be able to calm my nerves.
I'll go with you?
Don't bother. We might alarm that hag with too many people around.
I'll go on my own.
Midwife! Midwife!
Grandmother Liu!
You killed her!
What nonsense are you talking about?
Don't you see Mother has been frightened?
Grandmother Liu is dead!
Nonsense!
You killed Grandmother Liu!
I've never done such a thing!
You're still trying to deny it?
When I came in, I saw you bending over her so stop denying it!
Why would my mother want to kill a crazy old hag?
Are you in your right mind?
The evidence is right before your eyes.
What else do you want?
She's the one who killed Midwife Liu!
How dare you accuse my mother?
I didn't accuse her!
She killed her!
Yu Qi Ling, have you gone crazy?
Are you all right?
My mother is in a shock and not only did you not care for her you accuse her!
What kind of daughter-in-law are you? Is this how you repay her kindness?
Apologize to my mother!
You want me to apologize?
Why don't you ask her why she killed the midwife?
- She's like a buddha to you? - Yes! So?
- You have no idea! - What about?
- You... - What don't I know?
Fine! I'll tell you!
Mother! Mother!
Mother, are you all right?
Anyone? Hurry up!
- Madam Jin! - Madam Jin!
Are you all right, My Lady?
Mother...
How is my mother?
Madam Jin has had a terrible fright.
Her blood circulation is too fast.
She will be fine after taking medication to calm her nerves.
- But... - But what?
Madam Jin is extremely feeble.
She must not get agitated again.
All right. Go and get the medicine ready.
- Yes. - Qi Xi!
- See the doctor out. - Yes.
Mother, are you all right?
The midwife...
She was just taken to the local authorities.
The coroner has examined her already.
Was she really murdered?
In the respectable household of Jin Manor, someone murdered.
This is outrageous.
Please don't worry.
Mother, I'll get to the bottom of this.
There's definitely something fishy here in the Manor.
Whoever did this will eventually be exposed. They can't get away.
I don't blame Yu Qi Ling.
She has been worried about her mother.
Yuan Bao, you need to reveal the real murderer
in order to clear my name.
She wronged you without a reason.
You still speak up for her.
Mother, have a good rest.
I will investigate this case right away.
Where are you going?
I'm going to look for my mother.
Look for your mother? You just made my mother pass out
now you don't care about her?
Even if your mother passes out she's still in her own home.
But I don't even know where my mother is now.
Do you know that the longer she is out there, the more dangerous it is?
I'm already looking into the disappearance of your mother.
Don't you trust me?
No, I don't trust you.
I can't trust you when you side with your mother so completely.
Do you think that your mother's disappearance has to do with my mother?
I'm not sure about that.
But I'm sure that Grandmother Liu's death has to do with her.
You're unreasonable!
You still think that Grandmother Liu's death has to do with my mother?
You're the unreasonable one!
All right, do you know how Grandmother Liu died?
She was suffocated by a pillow.
Yes. When I left she was still all right.
But she was already dead when I returned.
Your mother happened to have the pillow in her hands near the bed!
You don't think she did it?
Why would my mother kill her?
Why would she kill a crazy old hag she has no quarrel with?
Because your mother...
Because what? Tell me.
She knows it in her heart.
Listen up. Here are two things.
First, my mother didn't blame you for faking your identity
and even helped cover it up.
She risked her life to put in a good word with Empress Dowager.
Second, just a while ago
you accused her of killing someone
and yet she didn't blame you.
She even spoke up for you.
Do you still have a conscience if you keep accusing her?
Fine. Since you believe her so much
I won't waste any more time bickering with you.
Go away!
You...
Are there still more records?
Young Mistress, these are all that we have.
These books do not have a record of Auntie Yu's name.
It means she isn't missing.
What am I doing here if she isn't missing?
According to regulation you should quickly report
to the local authorities if someone goes missing.
Unless someone happened to run into her and drop her off here.
Otherwise, how would we possibly have her in our records?
Young Mistress, since we don't have Auntie Yu in our records
why don't we send our men to look for her?
You could take a look at the homeless shelters in the city.
She might be there.
Mother!
Mother...
Where are you?
Let's go home.
I won't go home.
I'm going to look for my mother.
Do you have to be so willful?
I am not!
You don't care about my mother.
You only believe in that high and mighty Madam Jin.
Does it matter to you if my mother lives or dies?
- Calm down first... - How do you expect me to calm down?
What am I to do? What am I to do?
You don't care about my mother at all!
What should I do if something really happens to my mother?
How are you? Do you feel better?
Have some water.
I just had a dream.
I dreamed that I had fallen into a trap.
I screamed but no one came to save me.
In the end, my mother came to my rescue.
When I was little, no matter when or where I went
my mother could always find me.
But now... I can't find her anywhere.
I can't find her...
Your husband is the best detective in the Capital.
Can't you leave this matter to me?
I'll find Grandmother Liu's murderer
and I'll also find your mother.
Believe in me.
I'll definitely bring her home to you.
It will be all right.
All right now.
Madam.
I've brought you some good food.
These are all made by famous chefs in the Capital.
Thank you! Thank you so much.
You're welcome.
The chefs were all ordered by Young Mistress to make these dishes.
Is she all right?
Yes, she is doing very well.
I've already been here for days.
I haven't gotten to see her yet.
Madam, don't be too anxious.
It's been busy at the Manor recently so she can't slip away.
A while ago, Young Mistress was out too often.
It was inevitable that some rumors went around the Manor.
I understand.
There is always a lot more trouble in huge households.
The more people, the more gossip.
Madam, I know that you miss Young Mistress.
Please don't be too anxious.
Young Mistress will be here to see you in a couple of days.
Madam, the Capital is nothing like E-Mei Mountain.
There are a lot more bad people here.
Young Mistress is worried that you'll wander around outside.
It will be a problem if you run into bad people.
Please tell Young Mistress that
I'll never leave this house so she doesn't have to be worried.
That's good.
Keep the door locked.
When I knock, it's two knocks and then three.
Then a pause followed by two knocks.
Don't open to anyone else who knocks on the door.
I understand.
Please stay here with ease.
This is the safest solution for you and Young Mistress.
Yes, I understand.
The food is getting cold. Please help yourself.
Thank you.
My Lady, the carriage is ready.
Tell the others not to alert anyone.
You are all dismissed. Don't follow us.
Yes.
Let's go.
All right, don't see us off.
Take this.
- You don't have to... - You have to take it.
- How could we... - We owe it to the midwife.
You're the midwife's only son so you must accept this money.
But you have to remember what Madam Jin has instructed you.
- Yes, Madam. - Please rest assured.
- Please don't worry. - We'll get going then.
My Lady.
Take care, Madam Jin!
Take care!
Who are you looking for?
I'm a maid working for Jin Manor.
Madam Jin left in a hurry.
She's forgotten to remind you of some things.
What other orders does Madam Jin have for us?
She is still a bit worried about the issue with Midwife Liu.
Please tell Madam Jin that
we'll follow her orders and move out of here as soon as possible.
- Exactly! - I won't say a word about Mother.
What Mother?
From now on, we have nothing to do with Midwife Liu.
Yes, we don't know Midwife Liu at all.
That's good then.
As long as you follow our orders
you'll definitely be rewarded.
We'll pack our things up right away.
Madam Jin has already taken great care of us.
We wouldn't dare to accept any more rewards.
- You... - We'll go and pack up now.
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.
