Episode 26
Miss Jin, have a smooth journey.
Fourth Master!
Fourth Master! It's dangerous!
Stop now Fourth Master.
Don't come here. If you do, I will shoot.
Fourth Master.
Yin Jing Wan.
Jing Wan.
During that time, I already knew that
loving someone
is like being a moth that throws itself into a fire.
I knew I risked being burned
but I still insisted on loving him.
Now,
everything disappeared
like a cloud of smoke.
Perhaps, it's the will of heaven.
If you say that it's the will of heaven,
then with someone who is as kind as you,
God will definitely take pity on you.
Everything will be fine.
Wuchi.
It seems like yesterday
that I met those people.
But many events have occured.
Fortunately, you started a new life.
Isn't that so?
Fortunately, I had your company for the past few years.
Being able to stand here again,
Xin Zhi, thank you very much for this.
Don't thank me.
You should thank yourself.
I remember you once said
hardships in life are meant to make us unbreakable.
Only facing the reality will I know
whether I am strong enough to survive.
Why don't we find a place to rest first and think about what to do later.
No. I want to go home now.
I owe my parents too much. I wonder if they will forgive me.
What if they...
Since I have decided to come back and start anew,
there will surely be many hardships ahead but I'm not afraid.
I hurt my parents during that time.
Now, I want to use my sincerity to redeem myself.
Believe in me.
I believe in you.
Mom.
Jing Wan, my daughter.
I'm not dreaming, right?
It's really you. My daughter has returned home.
Mom. Yes, I'm back.
You are not dreaming.
Mom.
It's good that you are back.
Let's go in the house.
Mom. I forgot to make the introductions.
This is my good friend, Mr. Cheng Xin Zhi.
Hello, Auntie.
Hello. Please take a seat.
Come here quick.
Sit down now.
Mom.
Jing Wan. I finally have you home.
In the future, don't ever leave me again.
I really can't stand any more of this.
- Mom. - What are you doing?
Mom. I wasn't a filial daughter during that time.
I left you without a word.
I have hurt you both.
I was really foolish.
How could I hurt the parents who raised me?
Mom. Give me another chance.
Let me redeem my mistakes.
Let me be your daughter again.
Okay?
Good child.
Get up now.
- Get up. - Unless you forgive me,
I won't get up.
Silly child. I have never blamed you.
Mom.
Child, get up now.
You are my flesh and blood.
I have never blamed you.
It's just that your father...
That's right, Senior Madam.
If Senior Master were to come back and see Miss...
Mom. Where is Dad? Has he gone out?
That's right. Before your father comes back, leave now.
I'm afraid that he will make it difficult for you when he comes back.
Leave now.
Mom, I'm not leaving.
Child, listen to me.
Leave now. If not, your father will be back soon.
That's right, Miss. It will be bad once Senior Master returns.
Leave now.
Dad.
Chu Fan. Look, our daughter is back.
Dad, I'm back.
Please forgive me for not being filial.
Chu Fan. Your daughter is kneeling in front of you.
I already told you
I don't have such a daughter.
It's been in the past for a long time.
Why are you still holding a grudge?
Uncle Yin. I may be an outsider
but I know Jing Wan thought of you throughout all these years
and I saw how remorseful she was.
Just give her a chance to redeem herself.
This is our family business. Don't interfere.
Ming Xiang. See the guests off.
Senior Master.
Dad. Please don't chase me away.
I understand now.
In the future I will be filial to you and mom.
I'm begging you.
Don't call me father again.
Don't forget who abandoned the wedding
and caused our family to lose face?
You caused the Xu family to be ruined.
Who ran away with no shame and consideration for the family?
Who was later abandoned after becoming an immoral woman?!
I, Yin Chu Fan, don't have such an unfilial daughter like you.
Leave.
Chu Fan, don't push our daughter away.
I'm begging you.
Senior Master.
Are you leaving or not?
If you don't leave, I will beat you until you leave.
Senior Master. Stop.
Chu Fan. I'm begging you. Please take her away.
Jing Wan, let's go.
Chu Fan.
- Chu Fan.- Mom.
Senior Master.

Stay here first.
If you need anything, just let me know.
It's getting late. Go to sleep now.
You miss your family, right?
That is the direction to my house.
Look at the lights over there.
The one in the middle is my home.
Don't be sad about what happened today.
Actually, the way my father treated me,
I can accept it.
What do you plan to do?
I don't know yet.
I won't give up.
I thought you wouldn't know how to face all this
but looking at it now, you are stronger than I think.
When I first decided to come back,
I thought of the long road ahead.
Perhaps, it may be rough
but I won't give up. The mistakes I made,
I want to rely on myself and slowly redeem them.
Don't blame yourself too much.
Honestly, you didn't do anything wrong.
In the past, I thought that being in love
was like being a moth that wants to fly to the lamp at all cost.
Honestly, this was a mistake.
If someone abandons his parents,
does he have the right to love?
You were young and naive back then.
You acted rashly.
It's already in the far back past. Don't leave it in your heart.
Even so,
I can't use an excuse to shake my responsibility.
Before, I really thought that
love was the most important thing in the world.
But I realise now that
for someone to survive in this world,
he needs to carry different kinds of responsibilities.
Xin Zhi. Starting now,
I have to take the responsibilities I ignored years ago.
Don't worry.
No matter hard it is, I will still carry on.
Commander in Chief.
Jiang Ping.
Tell me why can't I even write properly?
That's because you have too many problems
with those two characters.
Is the meeting for later all set?
Yes. All the Officers and Generals are on their way.
Is the main contract prepared?
Yes, it's done.
The meeting with the British Council is set for tomorrow morning at 10:00 am.
In the afternoon there is a tea party with the French Consul
to discuss future collaboration.
In the morning of the day after tomorrow Chief Huang will arrive.
In the afternoon, General Li Chongnian will come upon your invitation.
Also organise an evening meeting
with President Zhu from Chengzhou' s Chamber of Commerce.
Commander in Chief. You haven't had any proper rest for the past few days.
Maybe you should not pack your schedule so tightly.
I'm really worried about your health.
For the past years, I had enough of it.
I do not want to remain at the mercy of others any longer.
I don't understand.
Although you are the Commander in Chief of the 12 provinces,
yet you let the Cheng family control you. It cannot continue this way.
After you get rid of the Cheng family,
you will be able to search for Miss Yin again.
Just now, on the way back here
Madam asked me what you have been busy with.
Just tell her the truth. Don't be afraid of her.
I briefly answered her.
Madam didn't seem to be happy.
She wanted me to say something to you.
She said...
She told you to give up this idea.
She said that even if you get rid of the Cheng family
Miss Yin will not come back to you.
Commander in Chief, calm down.
Why are you still standing here? Start the meeting.
As you all know
the Japanese are constantly causing incidents in the North.
Qianping is guarded by Commander Cheng's Troops.
However, they are too far away to help us if something happens here.
So I've decided to deploy the 9th Army along the Ningchang-Gui'er Railway
to be on guard and intimindate the Japanese.
Would Commander Cheng have any objections?
What objections would he have?
Commander in Chief.
Outside enemies continually cause unrest. It is crucial we maintain internal peace and order.
Commander Xu. I think you don't understand.
First, I'm doing this to be on guard against the Japanese.
Secondly, I want to make use of this opportunity
to take over control of the railway.
If you don't help me, who will help me?
How could I not understand your heart, Commander in Chief?
I know you are looking for a way to cut off the strings.
- What if... - There is no what ifs!
What are you thinking of?
Chengzhou is mostly controlled by the Cheng family.
Commander in Chief, could you wait a little bit with this mission?
Remember this, Chengzhou will no longer belong to the Cheng's.
Whatever I want to do, no one can stop me!
Commander in Chief.
It's very late. You should go back to your room to rest.
I'm uneasy about this information for the meeting tomorrow.
Madam said that she's returning to her home for two days.
She won't be staying at the Governor's residence tonight.
Why are you back so early?
Didn't you say that you are returning to your home? Why are you here?
This is also my home. Of course, I can be here any time I wish.
Can't you stop drying your hair here?
It's so cold outside. Where do you want me to go?
If you like it here, I will leave.
It's so late. Where are you going?
I have some matters to attend to. I'm going to the study.

Pei Lin. It's late. You must be hungry. I prepared dinner for you.
I used a slow fire to cook this bird's nest porridge to boost your health.
Drink it while it's hot.
Why did you suddenly become so warm?
This is so different from your cold personality.
I already told you that I am no longer a cold person.
I'm your wife. Did you forget that?
How could I forget that?
But you are driven by ambition.
How can you give up your power over the Cheng Army to become a mere housewife?
You have blamed me wrongly for this.
My father randomly asked my opinion once or twice.
Especially when it comes to family, sometimes it's hard to clearly draw the line.
Commander Cheng is very lucky to have such a daughter like you.
Aren't you lucky to have such a wife like me?
Although, I find that you have no idea how lucky you are.
What do you mean?
Nothing.
These days you are looking for a way to keep me and the Cheng family at bay.
I wonder if I'm over thinking things?
Since I have already told you this, I would still like to advise you that
the Cheng family and the Chengzhou Army are in the same boat.
If the boat was to tip over
it wouldn't benefit anyone.
I'm still busy. Go to sleep first.
Remember to finish this.
It's not comfortable to sleep here.
No matter how late it is, you must remember to go back to our room to sleep.
Understand?
Mom, we are here.
It's that place?
- Xin Zhi. - Auntie.
Hello.
Mom. I couldn't make the proper introductions before.
Not only is Xin Zhi a great doctor, he's also my good friend.
He took care of me when we were overseas.
That's how I had the courage to start anew.
Doctor Cheng. Thank you very much.
Aunt, don't mention it.
Friends should take care of each other.
Mom. Let me show you the place.
Come.
This way, please.
Mom. This place is not bad, right?
Let's go in and take a look.
Mom. This is the living room.
This is the guest room.
Look over here. This is my room.
I live here.
It's not big but it's clean.
I rented this place so that I can live close to you.
Mom. You must be tired from walking. Let's sit and talk.
Come.
You are living so close. I can visit you anytime.
Mom. How has the family been doing all these years?
How is father's health?
After you left, your dad and I quit the society.
We have not suffered much.
It's just your father doesn't have a good appetite and can't eat.
His health is not the same as before.
Because of that he cannot personally take care of the Yin business.
Fortunately, Jian Zhang is there to help with the business.
Jian Zhang?
You didn't know. For all these years,
Jian Zhang has been taking care of our family.
He's like a filial son and is very respectful to your father.
Keeping an open mind after what happend
was not easy.
It must have been hard for him.
What is this?
We came here to talk about the price of grain.
What do you think about my viewpoint?
Understanding is the source of wealth. Isn't it so?
Fine. No problem.
Dad, what are your views?
Dad?
What?
Master Yin, Jian Zheng asked about your opinion on the price of grain.
I have none.
Okay, I will make the decision for everyone then.
Okay.
Lately, the inland waterway transport is often disturbed by bandits.
What do you think?
Talking about this makes me really furious.
The bandits are really fierce too.
They will stop at nothing.
They are equipped with modern weapons
and have many supporters.
We can't do anything otherwise we expose ourselves to their blows.
President, do you think we should inform General Sun?
Right. By moving only his pinky finger,
he'll defeat these bandits.
I'm afraid that he won't help us with this favour.
Chairman, if you talk to him I'm sure he will not refuse you this request.
You are giving me too much credit.
Even if General Sun grants us this favor,
it will make our debt with him very difficult to pay.
Isn't that so?- Yes. Yes.
Let's hear what Senior Master Yin has to say on the matter.
Dad. What are your views?
The bandits go wild with frenzy.
If we could destroy them, it would bring benefit to Wuchi's businesses.
Okay, I will listen to you.
Everyone, wait for my good news.
That's good.
With Jian Zhang as our Chairman,
it seems like we are guarded by angels.
Senior Master Yin. Having such a good son
is your good luck.
Chairman, we are headed back.
Father, I will accompany you to the Qingteng's house.
Autumn tea is ripe for gathering. You will like it.
I'm not going today.
Then maybe I'll go to buy Rongqingzhai cakes?
You really like to eat them.
My appetite hasn't been good lately. I'm not eating.
Dad. What's wrong with you today?
Are you unwell?
Did something happen at home?
Jian Zhang. Jing Wan came back.
Jing Wan. Didn't you just eat? Why did you buy so many groceries?
Tomorrow, I would like to cook for my father.
I heard from my mom that his appetite isn't good.
I will prepare small portions of a variety of snacks for him
and secretly bring them home tomorrow morning.
I think your father will be very happy
but the delivery is tomorrow.
Why are you preparing them now?
You don't know that
this soup must be boiled for five to six hours to get its flavour.
If I do it tomorrow, it will be too late.
I see. You are really diligent.
But you have been tired for the past few days and are still working so hard.
It's not hard at all.
On the contrary, I feel very happy.
Being able to secretly be concerned about them and be good to them,
I feel very content.
Miss.
Here. I boiled this soup all night long.
Don't worry. Senior Master won't find out.
- I'm going in first. - I will wait for you.
Come, let me do it.
One more bowl.
Senior Master has a good appetite today.
That's right.
I haven't eaten for a long time.
But the food today is really good.
Mother Zhang's cooking skill has changed.
I saw you didn't have a good appetite.
So I asked her to go learn a few recipes from the Dafu restaurant.
This is what she learned.
No wonder.
It's delicious.
Miss.
So now? Did my father like the food?
Senior Master ate happily.
After drinking a bowl of soup, he even had two bowls of rice.
That's great.
I will cook some other dishes tomorrow and deliver them here.
It'll be at the same time.
Okay, Miss Yin. I'm going in first.
Miss Yin.
Master Lao.
Young Master would like to invite you for a chat with him.
Will you accept his invitation?
Miss Yin.
I heard from my mom that
Young Master has been taking care of my family all these years.
I should meet him to personally thank him.
Very well. Miss Yin, this way.
Miss Yin. Our Young Master is waiting in the living room.
Yes.
It has been a long time since we last met.
How are you, Miss Yin?
Jian Zhang,
I'm here today to personally thank you
for taking care of my parents all these years.
You don't need to thank me. I'm different from you.
I didn't betrayed them nor did I lack in my filial piety (duty as a son).
Your parents are like my parents.
It's a given that I should be filial to them.
I know
you hate me for my past mistakes.
Even if you committed dishonor towards me,
it was me who hurt you first.
I don't blame you.
I really do not know how I can decrease your hatred towards me.
I can only
ask you again for forgiveness.
Yin Jing Wan.
You think if you come here
with your thanks and apologies
everything will be resolved?
If you think that way,
then I don't have any other choice.
I have said
what I needed to say.
- I'm taking my leave. - Wait.
What else is there?
Don't be in a hurry to leave. Just now, it was my fault.
I offended you, therefore I ask for forgiveness.
Since you are here, sit for a while longer.
Take a look around at how our Xu family home has changed.
I can see that it looks wealthy.
In the other world,
your Grandmother must be happy
seeing you at the top again.
But of course.
The ancestors of the Xu family must be smiling in the other world.
Now in Wuchi,
I am a very important person.
Don't you feel a bit of regret?
What is there to regret?What you ask?
You surely regret your lack of insight,
and greed for Mu Rong's power
now that you have met your sad end.
When you betrayed me before,
I was worthless.
But look at me now.
Am I lacking in anything in comparison to Mu Rong Feng?
Yin Jing Wan. Tell me honestly.
Seeing my current prosperous status
don't you have a bit of regret?
Xu Jian Zhang. I did wrong to you in the past.
Therefore, you can insult me today.
I won't say a word.
I thought that I would feel apologetic towards you for the rest of my life,
but hearing now
erased all those feelings immediately.
I am sorry. I will not stay here any longer.
Yin Jing Wan, stop there.
You are now an abandoned wife. What right do you have to be proud?
Listen carefully to me. You owe me.
I want you to pay for everything. Piece by piece.
I will not stop until I will see you and Mu Rong Feng both dead!
