Episode 28
Red Cross.
Mr. Xu. Thank you very much.
We will welcome you as our guest to frequently visit us anytime.
Okay, Chairwoman. In the future, I will visit here often.
Jing Wan. If I come here often in the future, will you welcome me?
How could I not?
Mr. Xu has a charitable heart. Why would we not welcome you?
You actually know each other?
Not only do we know each other, but we were childhood friends.
Jing Wan. Mr. Xu is a good man.
In the future, properly thank him on behalf of the Red Cross.
Chairwoman, where should we store the benches and stools?
Mr. Xu. I'm taking my leave.
It wasn't easy for me to restrain myself for not telling the Chairwoman that
I donated such a huge sum of money
only for you.
I'm leaving.
What did you say to you? Is he giving you any problems?
On the contrary, he was very polite
Although I don't know why but the more he does this, the more I feel uneasy.
Don't think too much of it. Everyone has a good side. Maybe he learned from his mistakes.
Let's hope so.
Miss Yin. Chairwoman asked for you to go in and help.
Okay.
Here.
Okay.
Slowly.
Here.
Miss, congratulations.
Dad. Mom. What's going on?
Jing Wan. These are wedding gifts, of course.
Wedding gifts?
- Whose wedding is it? - It's your's.
Daughter. Jian Zhang came here to propose today.
Propose?
He sent all these.
He is very open minded. He forgave you.
You should properly treasure him this time.

Jing Wan.
Mom, it's very late. Why aren't you asleep yet?
I have something to tell you.
I see. Come.
Jing Wan, now sit down. I have something to give you.
When you ran away from the wedding,
I held on to this. I kept thinking this is the engagement ring that Jian Zhang gave you.
I really didn't imagine that we could use it again.
I hope that you will wear this
and live forever happily with Jian Zhang.
- Mom. - I know what you about to tell me.
Back then, the Yin family was unworthy of the Xu family.
Now if you marry Jian Zhang and take good care of him,
this will redeem your mistake.
Jing Wan.
He wouldn't offer to marry you if he still felt hatred towards us.
Mom. I will never marry him.
Don't be ignorant. Not everyone who made a mistake can start again.
Even more important is that Jian Zhang is such a good person.
He has been very filial to us and even closer as a relative.
Now that you came back, he forgot all about the past and wants to marry you.
It's hard to find such a good man in this world.
Jing Wan. Listen to me. I'm right.
God took pity and gave you a second chance. You must not disappoint us.
Mom. I would like to think carefully about what you said.
It's late. Go back and sleep.
Come.
Jing Wan, think carefully about this.
I know, Mom.
What should I do?
It was easy for Mom and Dad to forgive me.
After all these years,
my family finally reunited.
I don't want to hurt them.
Why are you here so early, Jing Wan?
Xu Jian Zhang
came to seek my hand in marriage at my home.
What?
My parents are very happy. They think it will be the best for me.
It's also what they wished for.
What do you plan to do then?
You know me. It's impossible for me to marry him
but I don't want to disappoint my parents.
If I were to marry him, the consequences will be even scarier.
Xu Jian Zhang posed such a difficult problem for me.
The only solution for me is to let my father see his true colours.
Xin Zhi. Can you do me a favour?
Of course.
Please enjoy.
Jian Zhang. The meal today
is from the Chairwoman who wanted me to express our gratitude.
It's to thank you for your generous donation
and also thank you for your charitable heart.
Everything I did was for you.
When we get married, I will put in the recommendation for you to be the Chairwoman.
Other than expressing our gratitude today, I have something to tell you.
I won't marry you.
You won't marry me?
A woman like you,
what right do you have to say this?
What kind of a woman am I in your eyes?
You don't know what kind of woman you are?
Okay, I will tell you.
You are a withered flower.
You are a used and discarded wife.
You are even worse than a whore
that can be still of use to men.
As for you, you are only just a wife in name.
Since Mr. Xu looks down on me,
why did you still go to my house to seek my hand in marriage?
Do you really think I wouldn't look down on you and take you as my wife?
Isn't this so?
Stop dreaming.
How could I marry my worst enemy?
My Grandmother and other ancestors would be angry.
My Grandmother would probably turn over in her grave!
Yin Jing Wan. I will clearly tell you today.
I will bring you into my family and make a slave of you
so I can humiliate and torture you day and night.
I will show you how I will take revenge for them.
Dad.
Why are you here?
Brute.
You are a brute.
Let's leave.
- Dad. Listen to my explanation... - Get lost!
Dad. My brother is not back yet?
Are you worried about him?
No. I was thinking that if brother came back,
he would tell you, right?
Jin Zhi. Ever since you came back from the lantern event,
there is a rumour in my army
saying that you have a fall out with the Commander in Chief.
I don't care about rumors.
I only care about whether you are doing well.
Tell me honestly. What did Pei Lin do to you?
Dad.
Just ignore the gossip.
Pei Lin treats me very well.
He loves me very much.
He's very concerned about me.
We have discussed having a child.
Daughter. If you experiencing any hardships, you must tell me.
Eevn if the heavens collapse, dad will always support you.
Dad, don't worry. I'm really fine.
I'm really getting old.
What I worry about every day is your relationship with Pei Lin.
Dad. You don't need to worry about me anymore.
You should nag my brother more.
Perhaps, you may be able to nag him enough so he comes home.
Frankly speaking,
I'm really don't resemble him.
I just don't understand
why my son abandoned our family for Yin Jing Wan?
I haven't heard from him ever since!
Miss. There is something I have been wanting to tell you
but I haven't dared.
Don't I know what's in your heart?
You wanted to tell me that rather than lying to my father
I should have told him that Pei Lin treats me coldly
and that I am having a hard time.
No. How could I dare to think that?
If we were to reveal all that, wouldn't Senior Master be more worried?
Nothing good will come from that.
If you have anything to say, just get to the point.
Miss. I only want to give you some advice.
You need to lower your expectations and change your strategy.
You cannot treat Commender in Chief the same as in the times of war.
Miss. You should know that men don't like being pressured.
Especially not such a great man as Commander in Chief.
Don't say anymore. I will never be submissive.
Miss. I'm not telling you to be submissive.
I only want you to be more flexible.
Miss. Think about it. Doesn't China have this ancient phrase?
"Softness can subdue hardness."
So you need to be flexible
and improve your relationships by combining strength and softness.
Then, later...
- What comes later? - Then, later...
when you have a child with Commander in Chief,
the no matter what, both of you will never separate again.
Do you think this method
could work?
Commander in Chief, bad news.
- What's wrong? - Madam is having a high fever.
It seems very serious.
Call for the doctor then.
The doctor already gave her an injection and medicines but she's still not recovering.
Commander in Chief. Madam has always been in good health.
It must be something serious this time. I am worried something bad might happen to her.
Enough.
I will go with you to take a look.
Pei Lin.
Even if you are sad, you should not torment yourself like this.
Pei Lin, let's forget and throw away our past
and start anew. Okay?
Jin Zhi, I already did what I could.
I really can't give you
any more promises.
Sorry.
Pei Lin.
As long as we face them together, we will be able to do everything
to forget all those unhappy problems. Let's face them together. Okay?
Stop letting your imagination run wild. Have a good rest.
Pei Lin, I won't force you.
I know how much you suffered the past few years.
I'm the the person in this world who understand you best.
I don't care how you see me.
I only hope that you will stay and be with me for tonight.
It's just one night.
Okay?
I'm begging you.
Come in.
Morning, Madam.
Madam. It's a letter for you.
Mrs. Lan. Thank you for yesterday.
Thank you, Madam.
Madam. What should you wear today?
You are in a good mood today. You should wear red. it looks best.
Cheng Xin Zhi and Yin Jing Wan have returned to Wuchi.
To protect your marriage, please send a telegram to your brother, calling him immediately to Chengzhou.
I will take care of things here in Wuchi, so that Madam will no longer worry.
- Mrs. Lan. - What's wrong, Madam?
Hurry, I want to go out.
Once you return, spend more time with your father.
You haven't gone home for a long time. He must miss you very much.
Since you are back, he will feel much better.
I know. You must take good care of yourself.
Don't trust Jian Zhang.
He will not stop at it.
Don't worry. I will definitely take good care of myself.
Moreover, it's not like you won't be coming back.
I have been with you for many years.
I really can't relax leaving you like this.
Xin Zhi. I will show you
that you didn't waste your hard work.
Since I have started anew and stood up for myself,
it is not that easy to break me.
Jing Wan.
Frankly, I...
I have something I have always wanted to tell you.
Aiyah.
It's getting late. You need to rush for the train. If there is anything, you can tell me when you are back.
Okay. Take care then.
Xin Zhi.
Take care.
Yes.
Giddy up.
Senior Master.
Senior Master,
Madam. Mr. Xu...
has brought many gifts here.
Hmph.
Jian Zhang.
Do you need to do this again?
Dad. Mom.
I'm here today to again seek for your daughter's hand in marriage
but it's different from the last time.
What's so different?
I'm not here today to make the request.
I'm here to order you to marry Jing Wan to me.
Order?
What right do you have to come here and issue an order?
Mr. Lao, bring me the documents.
Yes, Young Master.
Dad. Take a careful look
at what this is.
You!
- Chu Fan. - Senior Master.
- Senior Master. - Dad.
What's going on?
Thanks to the trust given to me by Master Yin,
all the assets and wealth of the Yin family have been transferred to me.
As of today, the Yin family in Wuchi
is entirely bankrupt.
They don't even own a penny.
Xu Jian Zhang. You are really horrible.
You are a thief!
Don't be in a rush to scold me. I haven't finished talking yet.
Your ancestors' home
belongs to me too.
Take a look at the house deed.
Your father personally sealed it.
You!
Dad. -You cruel beast!
Dad.
Do you now understand
what right I have to order you?
Xu Jian Zhang. You are forcing us to sell our daughter to you!
You can sell her to me or marry her off to me.
Isn't it only just a small difference in words?
I will give you one night
to carefully think about this.
Dream on!
Senior Master. I want to see
how stubborn you can still be.
You!
Listen carefully to me.
If you don't agree to this marriage,
starting tomorrow,
everyone here in the Yin family
must get out!
- You! - Dad.
Your entire hundred years of assets and wealth
will disappear in the blink of an eye!
The choice is yours.
You brute.
Get lost!
Dad.
Xu Jian Zhang. You con man!
You despicable thing. Get lost!
You treacherous beast!
Dad.
Chu Fan.
I'm not drinking anymore.
Chu Fan.
Don't worry.
Would I be able to do that?
My family's assets and wealth have been taken away from me.
I am to blame for it.
How can I face my ancestors after my death?
Dad. Mom.
This is all my fault. I brought it upon myself.
Jing Wan. How could we blame you for this?
Dad. Mom.
If it weren't for what I did back then,
our Yin family wouldn't be like this today.
I'm sorry.
Child.
It's not your fault. It was me who was blind
and misjudged him.
It's my fault.
If didn't break my word about the marriage,
Xu Jian Zhang wouldn't have hated me this much.
Let me carry the burden for everything.
It's none of your business.
I never imagined that Xu Jian Zhang
was so narrow minded, treacherous and violent.
I also never imagined that
Xu Jian Zhang would turn out like this.
That this matter would become so serious.
Daughter. Now that we have realised that Xu Jian Zhang is a bad person,
fortunately the heavens were still merciful towards us.
Otherwise
we would now be weeping for your ruined life.
That's right.
Jing Wan. We must not let him get his way.
Mom. Perhaps, this is heaven's will.
Perhaps, I must sacrifice myself
and repent for the mistakes I have made.
Let me marry Xu Jian Zhang.
No.
We can't do that.
We absolutely won't allow that.

Come, take this.
Here.
Come.
- No. - Take it.
Senior Master. Madam. We are leaving. Take care.
You too.
Take your money properly.
It has been hard working for the Yin family all these years.
In the future, if you have any problems, you can still come and look for me.
Thank you, Senior Master. Thank you, Madam.
We are leaving.
Take care.
Dad. Why?
Your mother and I have already decided.
No matter what, we will not harm your happiness.
Jing Wan. Look, we have already packed.
Let's move out immediately
and live a different life.
Dad. Mom. I'm begging you.
Jing Wan, by selling one's heart
one's whole life turns into a prison.
If the heart is at peace, even a small piece of land feels like a paradise.
Honor and wealth mean little.
Overcoming greed will only result in true freedom.
As long as we live together,
we will preserve our family honor.
I finally discovered the truth.
Dad.
Ming Xiang.
Help Miss pack her things.- Yes.
You clearly stated in the telegram that Dad was seriously ill and wanted me return home.
Where is he then?
Dad said that he misses you and wanted me to send the telegram.
He even said that regardless of which methods I used,
I must get you home.
So your saying that Dad is not sick?
What's wrong? Are you disappointed Dad isn't sick?
Don't tell me you will only return home when Dad is really sick?
You clearly know that's not what I meant.
Is Dad okay?
Dad said that he's getting old and wished to see his son.
Xin Zhi?
You are back?
Dad.
When did you come back?
I just arrived.
Dad. Didn't you say that you missed brother?
He's back to see you.
Son, dad really missed you.
I didn't know my thoughts of you would bring you here.
Dad, you worry too much about me.
In the future, I will come back more often to see you.
It's good that you are back.
What exactly is going on?
Why did Xin Zhi suddenly come back?
What's with the telegram saying that I'm sick?
Dad. Don't ask so many questions.
Since brother is back,
you should be with him and enjoy
this father and son reunion.
Are you trying to
make Xin Zhi stay in Chengzhou?
Yes, I want to keep him in Chengzhou
as long as possible
so he won't harm others.
Newspapers for sale.
- Newspapers! Car for hire!.
Do you need a car?
Come.
Carry this in.
Watch over there.
Clear out all this furniture.
Don't leave anything behind.
What are you doing here?
Young Master Cheng.
What's going on?
Young Master Cheng. Are you you to visit the Yin family?
What are you doing here? Where are they?
You are too late. This house doesn't belong to the Yin family anymore.
Starting today, this belongs to Young Master Xu.
Xu Jian Zhang?
Then where is the Yin family?
The wealthy Yin Chu Fan of Wuchi,
has turned into a pauper overnight. He left.
I'm unclear on where they went.
- Going to work? - Yes.
Young Master Cheng.
Young Master Cheng!
Ming Xiang?
It's good to see you.
Where is Jing Wan and the rest of the family? Why was their house acquired by Xu Jian Zhang?
What exactly happened?
It's a long story.
Miss and Senior Master are in the courtyard.
Let's go over first.
Okay.
Mr. Cheng, thank you.
Senior Fu. Ming Xiang.
Now sit down and eat with us.
Senior Master. We can't do that.
That's right. You don't have the house anymore
but that doesn't mean we shouldn't follow the rules.
I'm now not the Senior Master.
You both are not my servants anymore either.
Starting from now, we are family.
Forget about the rules of the past.
- Come and it. - Come and sit.
It's more fun this way.
Let's eat.
Here.
I was thinking,
in the future,
we should all live together.
Wouldn't it be a happy life?
Isn't it a modest meal?
You will have to get used to it.
Yes, we will.
As long as I can eat the vegetables my daughter cooks every day,
I will have no desire to become a Governor! (meaning I will lack nothing).
Ming Xiang. Give me another bowl of rice.
Yes, Senior Master.
People said that Westerners
like to eat vegetables.
Whatever rumors they are saying,
you believe them?
In the past, you always accused me of worshipping foreign cultures.
Look at you.
Still willing to bicker with me at such an old age.
I have an idea.
I would like
to plant some flowers and vegetables in the courtyard
to keep myself occupied.
Go with me to the market tomorrow morning
to select valuable seeds.
Senior Master. Your hawk eyes
will surely choose the best ones.
Yes.
Come, let's eat.
Do you know
I'm working very hard to start a new life?
But there are still some memories,
that will need some time
to slowly fade away.
The true is one cannot choose which memories to keep.
Sometimes, you think you can forget about some of the past pain.
Truth is, the pain is still hiding in a part of your heart.
Many people are like this.
I'm learning to face this.
I believe that everything will pass.
Commander in Chief, it's good wine.
In truth, Commander in Chief,
we have not gathered like this for a long time.
It's rare to see Commander in Chief this happy.
It started happening two days ago
when new girls were brought to Tianxiang (Heavenly Fragrance)>.
- Why don't... - How dare you!
It is forbidden for officers and soldiers to enter a brothel.
How can I be the one who breaks the military discipline?
Commander in Chief. You have misunderstood me.
We won't break the discipline.
We are only going to invite a few ladies
to sing and perform for us.
What songs are they capable of singing in a brothel?
Commander in Chief, don't underestimate them.
They sing better than opera actresses.
Specifically, there is a young woman there named Su Yin.
It is said that she sings Kungu operas so well,
that many are moved by her.
Okay.
Commander in Chief. The woman playing the musical instrument is Su Yin,
the main singer of Heavenly Fragrance.
Hello, Commander in Chief.
