Episode 29
Commander in Chief
The one playing the musical instrument is Song Su Yin.
The best singer of Heavenly Fragrance.
Yin Jing Wan!
How could you just abandon me?
What are you doing?
I'm not that whoever Wan of yours.
Commander in Chief,
you got the wrong person.
I got the wrong person? Even if you just change your clothing style,
I will still recognise you.
Changed my clothing style?
Jiang Ping.
Tell me.
Am I going crazy?
How could I mistake a courtesan
for Jing Wan?
How is this possible?
In this world, there is
someone who looks like her?
Reporting, Commander in Chief. There is a woman named Su Yin willing to see you.
Don't tell me it's that...
that Su Yin?
- Invite her in. - Yes, I will invite her in now.
Let's go.
Sir.
Why do you keep staring at me?
What's wrong with me?
Sshh. Lower your voice.
Let's go now.
Why is he hushing me?
Jing Wan.
Is this really you?
Hello, Commander in Chief.
Am I dreaming?
I had too many of such dreams.
Tell me.
This is not an illusion.
Jing Wan.
You are not Jing Wan.
Jing Wan would never forgive me so easily.
Who exactly are you?
Commander in Chief, spare my life.
I didn't do this on purpose. Please let me go.
What is your motive of pretending to be her?
I...
My "maman" (brothel mama) from Heavenly Fragrance made me come here.
She said the Commander in Chief mistook me for his ex-wife
and wanted me to pretend to be her.
Perhaps, I would be able to obtain your love.
When that time comes, I will be able to become a rich wife.
Commander in Chief, spare my life.
I was wrong.
Get lost!
Get out of my sight now!
I will get lost now.
It really scared me to death.
Spring fills the universe and happiness fills the house.
Okay, take it slow.
Slowly, let me hold you.
Here is the horizontal name. Happy Spring Festival.
Make it higher.
Higher?
Okay, I'm pasting it.
Spring has arrived.
Great. It's the New Year.
Dad.
It's going to be the New Year. What else do we need to do?
My hands are cold.
Come, I will give you some warmth.
Look at how nice they look.
Our parallel sentences
are the best from all in this lane.
Of course.
No one's calligraphy in Wuchi is better than my father's.
That's right.
Has everything been arranged?
I have already placed that thing in there.
This way, they will grab the loot and the criminals in one go.
Young Master Xu. Don't worry. Whatever I do, it won't leave any trace behind.
I will wait for your good news then.
I'm taking my leave.
This way, please.
Young Master.
Isn't this method a bit too cruel?
If you are really going to do this,
I'm afraid that it will even be harder to protect Miss Yin's life.
Is her life that precious?
Was my Grandma's life not as precious as her's?
The former Madam probably didn't want to see
you undertaking such cruel tactics.
You are wrong.
In the other world my Grandmother cannot see
how Yin Jing Wan is living carelessly.
Her family is together again.
While our Xu family
broke down and disappeared.
I'm cruel?
Were they not more cruel by causing the death of my Grandmother?
I do not want to see Yin Jing Wan living a happy life.
This time she will pay with her life.
Jing Wan. You are going to the Red Cross meeting this early?
Finish your meal before you go.
Mom. I'm not eating. I have a lot of work to do today.
I need to rush there.
What are you doing?
May I ask who are you...
It was reported that your daughter hides forbidden drugs here.
We have been instructed to do a search.
What nonsense!
This is our home. How could she hide forbidden drugs in it?
Search everywhere.
You...
Reporting, Sir. There are no illegal goods.
What's in here?
There are only twigs and logs.
Search this too.
Men, search!
Sir.
Is this twigs, too?
What is this?
What's going on?
We clearly have been framed.
So it was true! You were hiding forbidden drugs.
Capture her!
You are arresting us unjustly!
Where is the law?
Mr. Yin.
We found the goods, therefore have proof of her serious crime.
Prepare a good coffin
and wait to receive her corpse.
Take her away.
You...
How can you treat us so unjustly?!
What right do you have to capture my daughter?
- Jing Wan! - Let her go!
Let me go.
Is anyone there?
I have been framed.
I want to see your prison officer.
I never imagined
the person who you wanted to see would be me.
Not bad.
Yin Jing Wan.
You were reduced to this.
Xu Jian Zhang.
You were
behind all this,
right?
Whatever I did,
it was only to
pay you back for what you did to me.
I waited many years for this day.
Just to see the person who made me suffer
meet her sad end.
Since you can do such a despicable thing,
the Xu Jian Zhang I used to know,
is already dead.
Jing Wan.
due to our long friendship,
I am prepared to let you go free
if you beg me for it.
Since you want my life,
just take it.
If you want me to bow to you
and throw away my self respect,
dream on.
Do you know that by rejecting me today,
you will really die.
Yin Jing Wan.
You have paid a price for your decision today.

Tell me.
Where did these drugs suddenly appear from?
Chu Fan.
Think of a solution to save our daughter.
Xu Jian Zhang must be behind this.
In my opinion,
it has to be him.
He's taking revenge
against our family
and wants Jing Wan to die.
What should we do?
Uncle. Aunt.
Don't worry. I don't believe he will be allowed to do so.
Xin Zhi.
You were overseas for a long time. I'm afraid you might not understand
that Xu Jian Zhang is now
capable of deceiving Wuchi's public opinion.
He even has high friends in the Yinghzou Army.
I am afraid that...
Uncle Aunt. Don't worry.
I have another solution.
Jin Zhi.
Do you really have another solution?
I'm going to try it.
Jin Zhi.
We can only place our hopes on you then.
Uncle, don't say that.
I will do my best.
Okay.
Jing Wan.
She is not Jing Wan.
Drink more. I will pour for you.
Big Master.
Drink more. The ladies will take good care of you.
Commander in Chief, what brings you here?
Ladies. Come and take care of the Commander in Chief.
Are you here to listen to music or sing?
As for you, Leutenant Shen...
Go away!
Commander in Chief. You are...
Where is Su Yin?
Su .. Yin? She's in there.
If you drink a cup,
I will give you a kiss.
If you drink two glasses, I will kiss you twice.
If you drink more...
Is this true?
Of course, it's true.
Everyone, get out.
Let's go.
What are you doing?
Leave.
Change your clothes.
I... this...
Didn't you hear him?
Go now.
Take out the dishes and clean the room.
Yes.
What is going on?
I changed my clothes.
Sit over here.
Help me prepare the ink.
Why are you looking at me?
Do it.
What is this?
Jing Wan.
I'm thirsty. Get me a cup of tea.
What are you looking at? Didn't you hear me?
You called me?
Yes.
Thanks, Jing Wan.
Did you tell Xu Jian Zhang to do this?
Let me go.
Young Master. You are siblings.
Don't scare your sister like that.
- Was it you? Young Master. Talk in a civil manner.
I'm asking whether it was you!
Jin Zhi. What are you up to?
Last time you left without a goodbye.
Today, you suddenly return and yell at your sister.
Is this still your home?
Are we still your family?
Dad. Sorry.
I will explain it to you later. I'm warning you.
If you don't set Jing Wan free today,
I'm going to tell Pei Lin that Jing Wan is back!
You think too low of your sister.
If I wanted her to die, would I have waited until now?
She would have died a few years ago. Would I still give you the chance to be her guardian angel?
Dad. Look at what your son did
for that woman.
Jin Zhi. Let me tell you.
You should not have any relationship with that woman.
Are you going to agree or not?
Come here. Kneel down.
Senior Master, do not be angry. Young Master has only just lost his senses.
Aren't you going to kneel down?
- I didn't do anything wrong! - You didn't do anything wrong?
You threw away your family for this woman.
You still claim to have done nothing wrong?
The one who's at fault is your good daughter.
She is cruel and uses dirty tactics. The one who's wrong is her!
Brother, you are being too extreme.
Young Master, don't say anything anymore.
I don't know you anymore.
Are you still my son?
Fine.
You have already grown up.
You don't need guidance anymore. Isn't that so?
Father, I have always followed your wise decisions
but this time, I'm not wrong.
Jing Wan is innocent. No matter what, I'm going to save her.
Xin Zhi!
Dad.
Senior Master, don't be angry.
Young Master, kneel down now.
Young Master, you are not hurt, right?
Brother. You can ignore father because of that woman
but how can you risk your own life for her?
No matter how you look at me,
I'm telling you,
Jing Wan is the woman I love.
As long as she needs me,
I will use my life to protect her.
Brother!
Don't go anymore. I promise you
I will settle this matter.
This way, please.
Welcome, Mrs. Mu Rong.
What an honour for Xi Jian Zhang and his humble abode.
Xu Jian Zhang. I won't beat around the bush with you.
I'm here to ask you for a favour.
Madam has use for me?
Get to the point. As long as I can do it, I will try my best.
I have learned that you have thrown Yin Jing Wan in jail.
Madam. Your news is really up to date.
Did your heart beat fast when you heard this news?
I'm here to ask for Jing Wan to be released.
Madam must be joking with me.
My brother Xin Zhi, has threatened me.
If I don't save Yin Jing Wan,
he's going to tell Pei Lin about Yin Jing Wan.
You are both from the Cheng family. Why is the sister smarter?
How could your brother be so clueless?
If Pei Lin were to find out about what happened to Jing Wan,
it will be a big problem for you too.
I strongly advise you to let that woman go.
Don't let her die.
What a coincidence.
Madam. You and I
share the same viewpoint.
Are you going to agree or not?
Madam. Don't be in a hurry.
Relax.
There is no discord between us.
I would rather say we are accomplices.
Your wishes are also my wishes.
So to say, you have already agreed.
Of course I did. Naturally, I will let her go.
I won't let her die.
I will just let her live
in pain and despair. The same as I did.
Have a good meal. We are setting off tomorrow.
Lady. Do you have any last wishes?
What would you like to eat and drink?
I can break the rule
and sent more food over.
I don't need more.
If possible,
please let me have a piece of paper
and pen.
I would like to leave a note for my family.
I will get them for you in a bit.
Thank you.

These
are my daughter's favourite foods.
Jing Wan.
Madam.
Madam, don't be sad.
Your health is important.
Mom, don't worry.
Right now
your daughter's heart is at peace.
I have never been this strong before.
I may be only twenty years old
but I have lived bravely.
Don't have any regrets because of me.
I will never break down.
Dad. Mom.
Nothing can destroy your daughter now.
Not even death.
Rest assured. Wherever my soul might go,
I will think about you
and keep guard over you.
Prepare a hot cup of tea for a guest.
Young Master. It's very late. Who else will be coming?
Someone will be here at the right time.
Go.
This way, please.
Dad. You are finally here.
I have waited a long time.
Come.
Sit.
Jian Zhang.
I'm begging you. Please release my daughter.
Life and death are decided by fate.
Honor and wealth are decided by heaven. You should not force their hand.
Jian Zhang.
Despite myself I have come to beg you.
Let us leave peacefully.
Beg me?
What are you going to use to beg me?
As long as you are willing to release Jing Wan,
I will do anything.
I will do anything you want.
What are you taking about, Dad?
You want to be my slave?
You want to shorten my life?
So to say,
no matter what, you are not willing to release Jing Wan.
Let her off?!
Did she ever think of doing that for me then?
And for my Grandma too?
This is fated, Dad.
It is the fate that wants her
to pay for all this.
Dad. Don't be too anxious too.
If you want me to let Yin Jing Wan off,
I am afraid I cannot do
Unless...
Unless what?
Unless
you trade your life for hers.
This is one of the universal truths. "Eye for an eye,
A life for a life."
What I want is a life from the Yin family.

Senior Master.
- Senior Master. - What am I going to do now that you have left?
Senior Master.
Chu Fan!
Senior Master.
Chu Fan!
Get ready.
Wait!
Here is an order.
Let her go.
Miss Yin. You have been pardoned.
According to an order from above, we are to set you free
because you were not the main culprit in this case.
Let's go.
- Jing Wan!- Mom!
Jing Wan!
Mom.
Mom. Stop crying.
Everything is in the past now.
It's clear skies after the rain.
Uncle Fu. Ming Xiang.
Let's go home.
Miss.
Mom.
Did something happen at home?
Your father...
What's wrong with father?
Dad.
Dad!
Dad.
Commander in Chief.
When the former Governor was alive,
he managed the army in a very rigorous way.
You have inherited your father's trait to strictly enforce all orders and restrictions.
But recently among the soldiers
there is a rumour that
you frequent a brothel
and enjoy the company of courtesans.
Commander in Chief, as our master
do you really want the soldiers
to follow your example?
That's right, Commander in Chief.
This may cause some disastrous consequences.
I renew my plea, Commander in Chief.
It is absolutely necessary to strengthen the discipline and morale of the army.
Commander in Chief, please consider this.
I have heard from everyone.
But I will alone decide how to proceed in this matter.
Dad. Go and persuade him.
I am afraid he will entagle himself too deeply and will be destroyed.
It's too late. He's aready headed to Wuchi.
What?
Dad. Pei Lin is back.
Let's talk another day. Bye.
Which wind blew you here today?
I want to ask you what you are up to instead?
What did you do again?- Me?
I just came back from a walk.
I don't know anything at all.
Stop pretending.
Today, Commander Yu and the rest
came to question me. Probably on your request.
Since you brought up this topic, I won't be polite then.
Rumours run wild through the city that the Commander in Chief
abandoned his military duties
and enjoys earthly pleasures.
Am I behind those rumours too?
Stop there.
What? Feeling wronged?
You don't want to listen to me?
Let me tell you.
If you don't give me an answer today, don't even think of walking out from here.
Don't worry.
I won't go to that place again.
Really?
Definitely so.
I'm going to bring her here tomorrow.
Please prepare a room for her.
