Episode 13
Please.
Thank you, Xin Zhi.
Truthfully, I feel worried.
First, I am concerned for your safety.
Second, I fear you could hurt Miss Yin by being too controlling.
I cannot force her feelings.
I wish we could love each other with all our hearts.
Heavens, why don't you grant me this favor?
My brother, don't think too much.
It wasn't bad helping you this time.
Fourth Master, are we heading back?
Drive faster. We need to arrive before the gate closes.
Yes, Master. Do not worry. We still have time.
What is going on?
I have no idea, Master. I will go and look.- All right.
Master, the tire deflated.
I'd better fix it.
Just hurry up.
Miss Yin, don't worry. You will make it there on time.
I know.
Thank you.
Miss Yin, there's still time for you to change your mind.
I'll take you back to Pei Lin.
I don't want to.
Miss Yin, life is like a garden with many paths.
If you choose one path,
you could be deciding you future.
You should think carefully about it.
Mr. Cheng, everything is pretty clear to me
and I do think clearly.
I know well enough what I need.
As long as you won't have any regrets, it'll be fine.
Whether I will regret it later, I don't know.
But for now, I know this...
My belongings, my relatives,
everything I'm familiar with are here.
In the past, I thought I was brave.
Yet today
I feel like a coward.
I'm no longer brave.
I really am not.
You are not a coward.
You just do not want to abandon your current life.
My life?
Mr. Cheng, do you know?
In the past, I had control over my life.
I lived comfortably.
What I need
is quiet and peaceful happiness.
I understand.
However, Pei Lin
can't give you that.
Pei Lin's world
is like a world I never imagined.
There are so many shining
and attractive colours.
I was moved.
I almost lost myself there.
But I'm aware that
if I stray away from the life I want,
I'll die from concern and fear.
Risking his life he came here,
but I won't dare follow him at the expense of mine.
Because if I follow him
I will definitely lose my way.
I'll fall into darkness, no longer knowing where to go.
If I take one more step
I'll be ruined.
Young Master. It's done. We can go ahead.
Be careful.
It has to be round and well stuffed.
Dishes are ready. Come look at the kitchen.
Alright. Alright.
Miss Yin. I will escort you to just here.
If your family sees me, they may be suspicious.
Thank you, Mr. Cheng.
I'm going in then.
Miss Yin.
For the time being, I will be stay in Wuchi.
I won't be able to see you often.
If there is anything, you can always
come see me at 21 Lane located in the south part of the city.
Thank you. Bye.
Talking about philosophy, I really like German philosophy.
Buddy Ma. Talking about German philosophy,
I really admire it.
Actually, within the German philosophy, I admire Hegel the most.
His manner of speach was uplifting.
Honestly, I don't understand his works.
This is Hegel's thinking.
It was really well said.
Realism is something that is reliable.
Truth is something that is reasonable.
You learned it by heart !- Far from it!
Jing Wan.
Come.
Come here.
Greet your elders.
Jing Wan is back.
Dad. Hello, everyone.
Congratulations, Jing Wan.
Jing Wan. Didn't you say that Miss Wan is sick?
Has she gotten any better?
She's feeling much better.
Dad, I'm tired. I would like to rest.
Bye, everyone.
Miss Jing is getting prettier and more mature.
That's right. You have a good daughter.
Fourth Master. We are here.
Where did he go?
What should we do?
He's back.
Fourth Master.
Fourth Master. We lost control of Yongxin.
How could this happen?
We were waiting for Fourth Master's direct order .
But Ma Ruisheng launched a surprise attack against Yongxin.
We were taken by surprise.
Fourth Master. Since we lost Yongxin,
Chengzhou will be in danger.
Fourth Master. What should we do?
Please direct us.
Where are your troops stationed?
They are at Qiangping.
Let's go. I will go to Qiangping to oversee the military operations.
Yes. Fourth Master.
This way, please.
Reporting to Commander.
This is the new situation.
Dad. What does it say?
Mu Rong went alone to Qiangping to personally oversee military operations.
This will be a hard battle.
By losing Yongxin,
the South Gate of Chengzhou is directly facing the enemies.
I'm afraid that Chengzhou
will be in danger.
So what?
In your heart, are you
concerned about Mu Rong Feng?
He has suffered a crushing defeat.
I did not expect this.
If it continues, the consequences will be disastrous.
Yes. Without our support,
Mu Rong will not be able to fix the situation.
It is not the time yet for us to act.
It is necessary to only rescue someone at the most critical moment.
He will then be endebted to us.
Although Yongxin is lost,
the Chengzhou Army has not suffered too many great losses.
They still have plenty of food and ammunition.
They are far from desperate.
I believe that Mu Rong will not yet ask us for help.
You are still waiting for him to seek your help?
The day will come when he has no way out.
He will come back and find me.
We only need to sit and wait for that day to come.
Okay.
You know how to keep your composure.
You're really daring. I am proud of you.
Come.
- Congratulations. - It's great.
Come.
This way, please.
Sister's head jewlery is very pretty.
Yes. During the wedding of the eldest son of the President of the Chamber of Commerce,
Miss Shen had less gorgeous jewelry than that.
Jing Wan has such good luck.
Enough, put on your dress.
Quick.
Aiyah, so beautiful.
Cousin came back from studying overseas.
Only if she wore a Western bridal gown,
she could have been more beautiful.
Is Brother Jian Zhang wearing a Western suit or is he wearing
a freshly tailored traditional costume?
You don't know anything. It is a morning coat.
Brother Jian Zhang is really lucky.
Sister Jing is so beautiful and modern.
It really is a happy combination of Chinese and Western styles!
Ming Xiang, where is today's newspaper?
I will get it.
My cousin received a Western education.
Like a diligent student, she is always interested in the affairs of the state.
What do you mean?
Jian Zhang will have to surrender the newspaper to her.
That may not be so. Brother Jian Zhang usually
reads the newspaper everyday.
He and Sister could be known as
speaking the same language. Am I right?
- Miss. - Ming Xiang, where is the newspaper?
There are too many guests. I wonder who took it.
What's so interesting in the newspaper?
The articles are usually about the war.
I heard my father say
this war will end soon.
I also heard that the Chengzhou Army
lost control of Yongxin.
Miss. What's wrong with you?
I'm fine.
Sister.
Let's go and take a look.
Miss.
Miss!
Sister!
What's going on?- Miss!
Sister! Sister!
Miss.
Did you see Uncle Fu?- He's in the study.
Miss, where are you going?
Uncle Fu.- Miss! Sister!
Uncle Fu.
Miss.
You... what are you doing here?
Where is today's newspaper?
It is here, under the books.
The Chengzhou Army is in disarray.
Yongxin has been taken over.
Qiangping

Fourth Master.
Fourth Master. It's me, Jiang Ping.
Fourth Master. The Generals are already waiting a long time in the meeting room.
Commander Yu instructed me to come and ask if you could spare them some time.
Jiang Ping.
Do you know what today is?
I'm afraid I don't know.
Today, she will become someone else's wife.
Fourth Master. I will go to Commander Yu
and tell them to wait for a while.
Jing Wan. I always
take this flower with me.
Wherever the war is,
I will bring this along. I want to prove to you that
if we really desire it
it can even bloom in the North.
But Jing Wan,
when that time comes,
where will you be?
Tell me.
Would she
really marry someone else?
Congratulations.
Why aren't you playing Mahjong?
Congratulations.
Have a good game.
Congratulations.
Have a good game.
Jing Wan?
Mom.
Why aren't you in your room doing your make-up? What are you doing here?
I heard from Ming Xiang that you didn't eat your lunch.
Why is your face so red?
Jing Wan, what's wrong?
Mom. I'm really scared.
Silly child. What is there to be afraid of?
Grown up women should get married.
Even more so,
you know the Xu family very well.
They are just like our family.
They live in this city too.
In the future, if you want to come home, it will be very convenient.
Okay, stop crying.
Your tears are making me confused.
Mom, sorry.
Sorry.
Fool.
Why are you apologising to me? When a daughter has grown up,
she will leave her mother one day.
As long as you live happily,
I will be happy.
Mom. Do you really mean it?
Of course. When you marry Jian Zhang,
I will be extremely happy.
Mom. I...
You have always been quick-witted. You have to be happy today.
This is a happy occasion.
Uhm.
Congratulations.
Jian Zhang is really a good man.
Let's have a drink or two.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Congratulations.
Thank you. Boss Wu, this way, please.
Okay.
Big Brother.
Big Brother, you look handsome today.
Big Brother. When you are dressed like this,
you look like a newly elected mayor, am I right?
Big Brother, where is my red packet?
That's right, your red packets.
I will give everyone a red packet.
Thank you.
This is mine.
Everyone will get one.
We are going to buy new clothes.
I got a red packet too.
Many thanks.
Congratulations on getting a good wife.
Many thanks for coming here today.
Please sit.
Jian Zhang.Congratulations for marrying a good wife.
Thank you. Please enjoy and have fun.
Look.
Congratulations.
Jian Zhang, congratulations.
Congratulations.
You look really nice today.
The new attire is beautifully made.
- Grandma, are you poking fun at me? - It's true.
Grandma.
Thank you.
I'm very happy.
Jing Wan. In this lifetime, you can only marry me.
I want you to marry me. As long as you are willing,
there is nothing impossible in this world.
As long as you live happily,
I will be happy.
I turn around quickly, and take big steps back
I am humming this love song so I can stay happy
Too lonely after committing so many sins, I cannot make up my mind.
I do not care if one should only love once in one's life.
Sitting in the space occupied by you, I remember your silhouette.
I do not care if one should only love once in one's life.
Falling into space occupied by you, I sing to my memories.
It's me.
Jing Wan. Why are you calling me at this time?
Jian Zhang. I...
Are you trying to tell me that you are ready?
I wondered if so many jewels
would be too heavy for you.
I'm fine.
Jing Wan. There are many guests here today.
Grandma and I are having a hard time taking care of them.
You must be mentally prepared. They are ready to meet the bride.
Jing Wan. In half an hour,
you will be my wife.
I see.
I'm going to greet the guests. I'm hanging up first.
Jian Zhang!
Jing Wan, what's wrong?
Nothing. I only wanted to say your name.
Jing Wan.
Wait for a little while longer.
We will meet soon.
Goodbye.
Senior Chen. Why are you not listening to the opera?
Who sings it?
Master Gao sings 'The Alliance of Jade.'
It is a show not to be missed.
Let's go.
There are many guests here today.
Excellent.
Bravo!
- Sir. - Coming.
Miss, where are you going?
To the southern part of the city. Make it quick.
The bridegroom is here.
What a happy event!
The ceremony is for such a wealthy family!
That's right.
What a display!
Hurry up.
This is the first alliance between two great families
in the past ten years.

Why isn't the bride coming out?
What's going on?
It's strange. The groom is here. Why are they not opening the door?
Maybe they are closed because they did not yet receive the wedding gifts?
Groom, I think they want to joke around with you a little.
Looks like you need to personally knock on the door.
Okay.
The bridegroom is going to personally knock on the door.
Open the door. We are here to receive the bride.
Open the door.
What should we do?
Senior Master. We already searched in the garden.
She is not in the backyard (northern part of the house) either.
She was here just a moment ago.
How could she suddenly go missing?
What exactly is going on?
Aunt, don't panic. We will find her.
That's right. She could have stepped out for a while and will be back soon.
I felt Sister was acting strangely.
Why didn't you say something earlier?
What should we do now? Could something have happened to Sister?
I don't know either.
What should we do?
Senior Master. Master Xu has been knocking on the door for a long time.
This...
Mr. Yin and Madam Yin.
Your family, seriously?!
Uncle. What happened?
Jian Zhang. Jing Wan has gone missing.
The bride has disappeared.
That's right.
How could something like this happen?
Mr. Yin. Madam Yin.
I have been a matchmaker for years but never encountered something like this.
This is really too much.
How do you expect me to explain this to the Xu family?
Young Master, are you okay?
Bridegroom. You...
Jian Zhang. Don't panic.
Jian Zhang.
Cigarettes! Who wants cigarettes?
Mr. Cheng.
Miss Yin.
Mr. Cheng. I would like to see Fourth Master.
I came to seek your help.
Miss Yin. You are really courageous. I admire you
but both armies are fighting now.
All communication is cut off. The risk is too great.
Mr. Cheng. They are going to close the city gates now.
If I don't leave today, I'm afraid that
I won't have another chance.
Please help me.
Then, Miss Yin, first take a seat.
I'll go and get myself ready. - Thank you.
Senior Fu. Our family's reputation
has been ruined.
Madam. It's my fault.
I didn't watch over her well enough.
By the way. As for you,
why weren't you always by Jing Wan's side?
How could you lose her?
Speak.
Nothing will happen to Miss, right? I'm afraid that...
Okay, stop crying.
Leave now.
Jing Wan came to find me.
She was behaving strangely. She hugged me and kept crying.
She said something strange.
What did she say?
I couldn't understand.
She said that she was afraid.
And that she...
In any case, that's what she said.
Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I didn't understand. I thought
she might be scared to leave me after the wedding.
Just blame me.
Why didn't I realize that she was leaving?
Our daughter,
what happened exactly?
Why didn't you tell me
instead of just leaving?
Regarding this matter,
it must have something to do with Fourth Master.
What's going on? Why isn't he back yet?
That's right.
Child, come
Listen.
He's back.
What's wrong with Young Master? Where is the bride?
Why is he back alone?
What's going on?
- Young Master. - Big Brother.
Big Brother, what's wrong with you?
Big Brother.
There are so many people. What are they doing?
Jian Zhang.
Grandma. Let me rest for a while.
If something like this happens, no one would be able to take it.
Who expected the bride to run away?
I wonder who the bride ran off with.
Lower your voices! The walls have ears.
Senior Madam!
- Grandma. - Senior Madam.
Miss Yin. Do you know that
if you leave, you will not be able to come back?
I know.
I changed my mind so fast.
Did I make it difficult for you?
As long as you don't have any regrets, don't worry about what I think.
I left behind embroided clothes and precious trinkets.
Now, I will wear simple clothes and jewelry.
Despite the rain and the wind, we will live a hundred years together.
When I was leaving,
they were singing this song on the stage.
Despite the rain and the wind...
Pei Lin is in extreme danger right now.
Honestly, I wasn't thinking with my heart.
I only knew that once Yongxin was taken over,
Chengzhou would be in danger during this difficult time.
I must be with him. If not, I will regret it for the rest of my life.
Are you afraid?
I would be lying if I said I wasn't afraid
But now my heart is full of joy and happiness.
It feels like I was relieved of a very heavy burden.
Mr. Cheng. Do you understand this feeling?
I understand.
Miss Yin, we will spend the night here.
We will hurry again tomorrow.
Don't worry. The people here are simple and warm.
They will be very generous.
- You are...- We were passing by.
Could we stay here for the night?
Of course you can. Please come in.
Senior Pang.
What is it?
They would like to stay here for the night.
Make the arrangements.
Come.
Have some water.
Please don't be so formal.
Uncle. This is a small gesture.
No need.
Please take it.
Please make yourselves at home and rest easy.
Take a look at your rooms first.
Treat this as your home.
There is a room here and another one there.
Please stay here.
I'll prepare hot water for you.
Are you tired? Sit.
I'm afraid it will be very hard for you tomorrow.
It does not matter.
