Episode 18
My family doesn't have the fortune
to have any connections with Fourth Master.
I won't be seeing you off. Please go back.
Senior Master.
Senior Fu. What are you still doing?
Why aren't you shutting the door?
Dad.
Leave.
We don't have a daughter who is married to him.
Dad.
We are truly in love. Please forgive us.
Please accept us.
Dad.
I'm begging you.
Don't be angry with me anymore.
Give me a chance to redeem my mistake.
Dad.
Let me see Mom. Okay?
Senior Fu.
Shut the door.
Senior Master.
Miss.
I'm sorry.
Jing Wan.
Your father
did not yet have time to change his mind.
Don't be sad.
I can understand Dad.
I must have hurt him very much.
That's why he is treating me like this.
Okay, you are tired too. Don't be like this.
Let's go back first and come back another day.
Jing Wan. There is a proper time and process for everything.
Give your father more time
and give yourself more time too. Okay?
I believe that he will give in one day.
I'm not leaving.
I will keep kneeling until he forgives me.
Chu Fan.
I'm begging you
to let Jing Wan in. She is a good daughter who came back to visit us.
- How could you be so unsympathetic? - Enough. I already said that I don't have such a daughter.
I will not support filial piety of strangers.
Chu Fan.
We raised her to be an adult. How can you just disown her like that?
Didn't you always say that
humans are not saints; therefore, they are prone to make mistakes.
You are tolerant towards others,
but why not towards your flesh and blood.
That's right, Senior Master.
No matter how big of a mistake Miss made,
you should give her a chance to redeem herself.
No matter what you say, she is still our daughter.
When she left, you should know how heartbreaking it was me for me. I missed her very much.
I waited day after day, night after night
until we could finally be reunited.
Chu Fan.
I'm begging you.
Please grant me this wish as her mother.
If you regard yourself as my wife,
and the Mistress of the Yin family,
sever this tie now.
Yin Residence.
Pei Lin. Go back first.
Don't let the soldiers be drenched with me.
Madam.
We will stay here with you.
No matter how long you kneel,
we will still be here.
Lieutenant Shen.
Thank you.
Senior Master. Madam.
It's raining outside. Miss is still kneeling at the door.
The soldiers are also with her and being drenched in the rain.
The weather is so cold.
They will all fall ill.
Just forgive our daughter and let her come in.
That's right, Senior Master.
Let Miss come in.
Have you changed your mind?
I'm going to take a rest.
It is so cold outside.
Yet you abandoned our daughter at the door?
Madam. Why don't you go back to your room and rest?
No.
I want to stay here to keep my daughter company.
Jing Wan. It's daybreak.
Morning, Senior Master.
Your daughter
kneeled at the entrance the entire night.
You used to teach Jing Wan that
you must be compassionate to others.
But to your own daughter,
where did your compassion go?
How could you be so cruel?
Senior Fu. Come here for a while.
Senior Master.
Go now.
Chu Fan.
Chu Fan!
Dad, Mom.
Mom.
Senior Fu.
What are you doing?
Senior Fu.
Jing Wan!
Jing Wan!- Madam!
Miss.
Mom.
Mom!
- Mom. - Jing Wan.
Mom.
Go now.
I told them to cook mushroom soup. Have some.
Come.
Jing Wan.
Don't think too much. You must be strong.
Jing Wan.
Jing Wan. Father is furious now.
When he has cooled his temper down after a few days,
we will go again.
You don't know.
Dad has never been furious at me.
He doted on me the most.
Pei Lin. This time,
I really made him furious.
He won't.
Your father is a very rational person.
He will definitely understand our love.
I think he just did not plan on you coming back.
He still has to stay loyal to the Xu family.
As long as we explain and make him understand,
he will definitely accept us.
Pei Lin, I'm sorry
to have you experience this with me.
I should be apologising instead.
Because of me, you gave up everything
and caused your father to be so furious.
I have only you now.
I really have only you now.
Jing Wan. Regardless of what is waiting ahead of us,
we must face it together. Okay?
Boss Shen, thank you for having entrusted this mission to the Xu family.
This is really helpful to us.
Don't mention it.
We are old friends. You don't need to be so formal.
You can say this but in times of difficulties,
there are only a few people who are really friends.
Boss Shen. Please take a seat
Boss Shen. With such a benevolent person like you,
once our Young Master stand up on his own again,
he will definitely repay you.
Looking at how young your Master is
and how he has the head for business,
unfortunately he is in very low spirits.
Because of that, I want to help him.
Don't worry.
Our Young Master will definitely grasp hold of this opportunity. Please rest assured.
Okay. You are welcome.
Please wait for a little while. I'm going to call for Young Master.
Young Master, why are you here? Boss Shen is here.
Boss Shen?
- Young Master... - Boss Shen.
Come, let's drink.
You need to drink until you are content.
What are you doing? I'm not drinking.
Mu Rong Feng.
You... you stole my woman
and you still dare to come to my house?
Young Master. You are crazy.
Young Master.
Boss Shen. Our Young Master doesn't usually drink.
Perhaps, he encountered some problems. That's why he is in this state.
Don't worry. Please believe me.
We will do well in this business together.
This...
You want me to have confidence in him?!
Are you brain damaged? Sorry.
Boss Shen!
Madam ordered me to buy those for you from Zhao at the river
Madam said that you migh not have time to enjoy them being here now,
but they were your childhood favourite.
Miss.
Ming Xiang. How is my mom doing?
She has been sitting at her desk crying for the past few days.
She said that you couldn't even enter the house when you came back.
Her heart is filled with worry.
But she wanted me to still tell you
that Master still loves you.
She said not to worry and that she will slowly talk to Senior Master.
Senior Master will definitely stop being angry.
Ming Xiang, come and sit.
How is my father's health?
Master's health is not like before.
Now he worries too much.
Not only is he taking care of our affairs, but also those of Master Xu.
Master Xu?
How is Master Xu's family?
Miss. Didn't you know that his family went bankrupt?
They sold their land and shop.
Xu Residence.
Miss Yin.
- Is Young Master in? Young Master is...
If he is in, please take me to see him.
Let's go.
This way, please.
Come, where is the wine?
Bring me another cup.
Miss Yin. Please wait while I inform Young Master.
It's your turn. Young Master, come.
Young Master. Miss Yin is here. She is waiting outside.
What Miss?
I already have many ladies here.
Tell her to leave.
Just ignore him.
Let's drink.
Come.
Feed me and then I will drink.
Hateful.
Okay, I will feed you.
Okay.
Great.
Let's have another sip.
- Okay.- Again.
Great. So mean.
Jian Zhang.
Jian Zhang, it's me.
Don't you recognise me?
Of course, I do.
Who is she? So hateful?
I don't know.Who cares, let's drink!
Yan Yan,
Where did you go? You came so late.
Come, drink with me.
Come.
Let's drink.
Come.
Jian Zhang.
It's me. I am...
Yan Yan. I know who you are.
You are late. Your penalty is to drink this.
After you have drank this, sing me a song.
That's right.
Young Master is telling you to drink.
- Drink. - Young Master is so generous.
Drink it. He will pay you with lots of silver.
That's right. Drink.
That's right.
If you don't want to drink, just leave.- Who cares!
Just ignore her. Let's drink.
Just ignore her. Come.
Come, let's continue.
Let's sing a song.
Jing Wan.
You are back. Come.
I am trying to take care of our flower.
I hope it will blossom soon.
I heard from Lieutenant Shen that you went to the Xu family home.
Grandmother Xu...
Grandmother Xu passed away.
Jian Zhang has completely changed into a different person.
Living for the moment and letting himself go.
Jing Wan.
I really didn't think that
that my indecisive departure
would cause the ruin of the Xu family.
This is it. Do it like that.
Type out the ceasefire agreement with the Yingzhou Army I have just read.
Okay, I will do it now.
Wait.
Were the goods set aside for the Wuchi warehouses delivered?
Not yet,
but the warehouses are ready.
They goods should arrive in a few days.
Pay for the losses to the select traders
and give this business to the Xu family.
Fourth Master.
Go and do it now.
Yes.
Sir. This way, please.
Official Document
Master Xu. You don't recognise me anymore?
You...
What are you doing here?
We haven't seen each other for a long time. Since Chengzhou.
Now I have taken over Wuchi.
I've especially come here to visit you.
You came here to stomp on me
and laugh at my downfall?
Please get lost.
Master Xu.
I came here with good intentions.
Good intentions?
Mu Rong Feng.
You used your power to take away my wife!
It is because of you
that the Xu family has been reduced to its current state!
You still say that you have good intentions?
What good intentions?
Since you are talking open with me,
I will do the same.
In fact, the love between Jing Wan and me has nothing to do with anyone else.
You were engaged to her before me.
I was moved by your love story.
It took a heavy toll on my heart.
I did not know how to fix that.
Right now, the Xu family is failing
and in the need of business.
Hence, I came here.
In need of means?
This is really ridiculous!
This is a special pass for the Cheng -Ying Railway.
Also inside is a military contract for buying supplies and ammunition for the Chengzhou Army.
You are a smart businessman.
You know this contract will bring large profits.
If you accept this business,
the Xu family will rise again.
Mu Rong Feng.
You think this little gift of yours
will erase your wrongdoings against the Xu family?
After giving this, do you think you can find peace again?
Of course not. This is just the first step.
I will offer you more contracts later.
Mu Rong Feng. Let me tell you.
I'd rather beg on the streets
than accept your fake sincerity.
Especially from the both of you. The cursed couple.
I always thought Jing Wan's former fiance was sharp and competent.
Although, when I look at you
I only see an ignorant and incompetent man.
You are not a man at all.
Were you filial (good grandson) to your sick Grandmother?
Are you filial towards your family standing at the edge of the cliff?
You only know how to complain to others and to let loose.
Looking at your current behaviour, soon you'll have nothing left.
You are giving up after the smallest defeat.
In my eyes you are no better than a stray dog.
You said that I stole your wife.
If you are capable, take revenge on me.
You were not even able to hold on to your assets.
You are now poor and discredited. How can you take revenge on me?
Xu Jian Zhang.
It's not that I look down on you.
It's just that you are sticking to an illusion.
You will never be able to take revenge on me in this life time.
Never in your life!
Lew Nikolayevitsh Tolstoy "воскресение"
The "Resurrection" of Tolstoy
It's a good book.
But redemption is a very heavy topic.
Why would my wife be interested in reading this book?
My father used to say this is the best novel in the world.
I have wanted to translate this.
It is a shame that I didn't have the time.
Even though he still can't accept me now,
as his daughter,
I will try and do the best I can.
One day,
I would like to give him a fully translated book
and make him happy.
If father-in-law sees how sincere you are,
he will definitely be touched.
Maybe I can't get his forgiveness now,
but one day,
when he reads this book,
it may be considered
a form of redemption for my mistake.
Yes.
I went to see Xu Jian Zhang today.
What did he say? Did you accept your business?
Just like you said, he refused.
Yes. He hates us so much.
How could he accept?
You are wrong, Jing Wan.
The wound can be healed only by its giver.
At this moment, I'm the only one who can help him.
I am sure that today's visit
will make him change his mind.
That may not be so. I know him better than you.
He may be weak
but he's very stubborn.
I think he won't easily accept your offer
even if he is depressed and bothered by dark thoughts...
he'll refuse to listen.
You must trust me with this. Only a man can understand another man.
After receiving a huge blow, he will rise up to the challenge.

Don't worry.
This matter will be resolved.
By the way, I ordered for in-law Lan to be brought here
so there are more people to keep you company.
Pei Lin.
You really treat me well.
I'm so happy.
Come upstairs.
Yan Yan.
Come and keep me company.
I'm not in a good mood today.
Yan Yan. Hong Hong!
Come and keep me company now.
Master Xu.
I'm really sorry, but
the Chengzhou Army Commanders requested all the girls today.
They are all upstairs singing.
Please head back and return here another day.
Chengzhou Army?
I spit on them!
Who are they?
They only have some lousy guns and rotten money.
We allow them to play around with our Wuchi women?
You...
Tell them to come down.
If you don't go, I will go.
Yan Yan. Hong Hong!
Sit down!
- You... - Xu fellow, you are drunk.
Don't cause a scene here.
Men, take him out.
Let me go.
Be reasonable! Stop making a fuss!
Who are you? What are you?
You are a good for nothing drunkard, who could not even protect his wife!
Are you even qualified to throw fits?
In the past, you still had a little money. Since then I've preserved your dignity.
But now everyone in Wuchi
knows that you are a loser. You are a beggar, do you realize that?
You have cleaned out your family's wealth.
You have lost everything.
Are you qualified to order me around? Spit on you!
You...
Listen to me. This is not a place for drunk beggars!
Leave now!
Let's go.
Let me go.
Leave.
Get out of here!
Stay far away from here.
You devil beggar. Don't come back.
Why did you came here, devil beggar?
He is no longer Master Xu, but now a drunkard.
How did you become like this?
Such trash still dares to come out to find entertainment?
You trash! You dare come to have fun here?
Instead you should beg on the streets. You look like a stray dog anyway.
He looks like a wet bird which is a bad omen.
Stop dirtying our household! Get lost!
I don't want to see such an embarrassing person here.
Didn't you want to drink?
Come, open your mouth.
Open your mouth and drink this.
You...
Should I be more cruel?
Such a useless man.
He dares to come to such a place.
Do you even have money in your pocket?
And still he comes here.
You...
You? You what? Ladies, don't look at this dog anymore.
It makes me angry to see him.
Come, let's drink.
Let's go.
Let's drink.
Low life.
Good for nothing!
Useless man.
Young Master. You are finally back.
Young Master, how did you get hurt?
- Young Master, bad news. - Leave me alone.
Fourth Master. Fourth Miss has a high fever. It's really bad.
What?
Fourth Sister.
What's wrong, Fourth Sister?
Wake up now. Big Brother, what should we do?
Big Brother. Is Fourth Sister going to be like Grandma?
Fourth Sister.
Grandma.
Big Brother.
Fourth Sister.
It's okay. Don't cry.
- Quick. - Don't cry.
I'm taking you to see the doctor. Everything will be fine.
Big Brother, quick.
Big Brother, what should we do?
Doctor!
Open the door.
Coming.
Doctor, open the door.
- Master Xu. - Save my sister, quick.
Okay.
Fortunately, you sent her here just in time. If you any later,
the fever would have affected her brain and caused her to lose her life.
Thank you, Doctor.
Sis.
Why is your head injured?
Let me bandage it.
I'm fine, Doctor.
Let's go.
Fourth Sister.
Fourth Sister. How are you?
Doctor, please look after my sister.
Sit down.
Master Xu.
I have known your family
for many years.
I 've always gone to your house to treat your family.
I may be a simple doctor
but I watched you and your siblings grow up.
I have something
to tell you, as your senior.
I wonder if you are willing to listen.
Please get to the point.
Jian Zhang. Turn around and look.
Look at the condition of your siblings.
They are all pale, skinny and malnourished.
They will all eventually fall sick just like Fourth Sister.
As a big brother how could you neglect your siblings
until they are like this?
Jian Zhang.
Listen to me.
Even if you have suffered a big blow,
you should not lose courage.
It's because you are not the only one living in this world.
You still have those weak siblings of yours.
For their sakes,
you should stand up again.
Fourth Sister.
I hope that you can learn from this lesson
and take good care of your family.

It's all my fault.
I was not taking good care of you.
I owe you an apology.
Big Brother.
We are fine.
We will listen to you.
Buns for sale.
Are you hungry?
Let's go for breakfast.
Okay.
