Episode 30
Pei Lin. She...
Third Sister. Her name is Su Yin.
Hello, Third Sister.
Hello.
Commander in Chief, please step up to the table.
Second Wife, please pay your respects to Commander in Chief.
We wish you a happy life and to have a child soon.
Second Wife, please serve Commander in Chief the tea.
Husband, please drink the tea.
Commander in Chief. Next is the serving of the tea to the First Wife.
Invite her here.
Second Wife, serve the tea.
First Wife, please enjoy your tea.
First Wife, please have your tea.
Yin Jing Wan, why is your spirit always hovering over me?
Tell me that I'm not dreaming.
Just like this. Don't move.
Don't move. Just hold me this way.
Commander in Chief. Your hair is really soft.
Don't talk.
Just hug me this way.
Jing Wan. Do you still remember
when we met at at the hill near Wuchi?
I slowly carried you to the summit of the mountain.
You then asked me
whom I had also carried in the past.
I said that wasn't anyone else.
That was my only time.
You then said
that I must carry you for the rest of my life.
I promised.
Jing Wan. I thought that I would never have the chance
to be happy again.
Thank God for returning you to me.
Jing Wan. Promise me that you will never leave me again.

First Wife, please have tea.
Second Wife's old habit of laying in bed late must be from your days at Fragrant Heaven.
Now that you are here, I'm afraid you will have to change this habit.
Everyone knows that
you stay in a large room and have nothing to do at night.
That's why you can have a good night's sleep and wake up early.
It's different for me. I have to serve the Commander in Chief day and night.
I'm so dead tired.
I only just managed to fall asleep and it's already so bright.
Please forgive me.
I'm so tired. My back hurts.
I'm going back to catch up on my sleep. Tonight,
Commander in Chief will torture me again.
First Wife, take your time drinking this tea.
Zhen Zhen, let's go.
Jing Wan, go back with me.
If you continues this way, your body will not be able to take it.
Mom, go back first.
I would like to stay here for a while with Dad.
Young Master. Miss Yin has been keeping guard at her father's grave.
She has been kneeling down there for several days.
What is she doing there?
She doesn't seem to be doing anything
except crying. She doesn't appear to want to live.
Leave.
Yes, Young Master.
Yin Jing Wan.
I won't let you die.
I want you to lead a dog's life, plagued by pain and despair.
Yin Jing Wan. Enjoy the life that I have prepared for you.
What is it?
Senior Master. Mr. Maeda is here.
Open it.
Mr. Maeda, this is really a great amount.
Mr. Xu, you must be joking.
Looks like you are here to give me business.
This business is a bit extraordinary.
But you will not have to make your hands dirty,
nor invest any penny of your own money.
Is that so?
There is such a good kind of business?
Thanks to your high position in Wuchi
this deal is already partially accomplished.
And the other half?
For the other half, you only need to open your mouth
and this will become huge.
Mr. Maeda. Please don't beat around the bush.
Just get to the point.
All right, since you give me permission.
I would like to ask you
to put a good word for me to General Sun.
and work in favour of the Japanese Army
in Wuchi's Chamber of Commerce
to build a friendship between our two nations
and prepare well for our army's next move.
What next move could it be?
Mr. Xu. There are certain things
that it's better you don't ask too many questions.
We have been business partners for many years. Of course, I wouldn't harm you.
You may not harm me but I'm afraid
this mission is too difficult for me.
Are you going to reject me?
I'm only just a small businessman. How can I take on such an important mission?
Please forgive me.
First Wife. I'm here to visit with you.
You are too polite. I don't deserve it.
Don't say so. Last time you scolded me despite it not being my fault.
I really didn't mean to disrespect you.
You really misunderstood me then.
First Wife. I especially brought fresh fruits for you to try.
Give it to me.
Look.
How could grapes be in season?
Of course, grapes aren't in season.
There is someone who sends a plane every day
to me with a whole crate of grapes.
Even if I love grapes,
how could I finish the whole crate of grapes by myself?
So I thought of you
and brought them here for you to especially try.
Here.
The more I sit in your room the colder I get.
There is no heat at all. It's so cold.
First Wife. Why don't you visit me in my place in the future?
In my place we are singing all day long and the place is full of heat.
Please take your time eating these. I'm going back.
Zhen Zhen, let's go.
Stop there.
What are you trying to do?
Madam. You can take it but I can't.
I'm going to throw out these lousy grapes.
Leave it here.
Madam.
Madam. You aren't angry?
She's trying to make me angry.
I'm afraid she doesn't have the right to.
I will show her how amazing the people from Fragrant Heaven are.
Stupid flowers.
When we go back, throw away all the flowers.
She clearly knows that I'm allergic to flowers and she puts out so many. How hateful.
But Madam, Commander in Chief brought them especially for you.
And? I told you to throw them away!
Also those grapes. I hate eating them. It makes me sick to see them.
Throw them away as well.
Come back.
I'm warning you not to tell Commander in Chief that it was me who told you to get rid of them.
- But what if Commander in Chief asks... - Are you stupid?
Can't you tell him that the flowers have withered and the grapes have all been eaten?
Go now.
Commander in Chief.
There is no joy without sadness
It's like a snake (hidden) under flowers.
Those with tired souls dream half-awakened.
Who blooms like a belladonna, you or me?
Pei!
You should do your makeup less flashy and wear less brilliant jewelry.
I know.
Commander in Chief.
Enough. I'm going out to read some documents. Go to sleep first.

Come here, you pretty thing!
Who said that?
You are so noisy. Lower the volume, okay?
- It caused me to lose money. - What's wrong? Why are you throwing your temper?
Does the Commander in Chief treat you well? Does he spoil you?
Don't talk about this anymore. I get angry when you bring this up.
What's wrong? Aren't you great? He can't withstand it?
Amazing? That's bullshit. He hasn't touched me since the beginning.
Is that so? What a joke.
Exactly. He took you in and does not even want to use you?
Stop talking in such disgusting way!
Silly wench. In my opinion, it is your fault.
You are not educated in the art of love.
You should come to us for few lessons!
He is crazy. Every day, from morning until night,
he doesn't allow me to talk and move.
I must pretend to be cultured.
He wants me to be his ex-wife. He's such a pervert.
- Pervert? - Everyone, get out.
The First Wife has returned.
What's wrong? I asked a few sisters to come here to play a game and gossip.
- Are you against it, First Wife?? - Didn't you hear me?
Get out.
Don't move.
No one is allowed to leave.
I'm also Mu Rong's wife.
Can't I entertain my own guests at home?
Who set this rule?
In this house, I have the final say.
Don't think that just because you are the First Wife and I'm the Second, I'm afraid of you.
Looking at you, you can't even keep your man.
In reality you are more like a widow.
I won't follow your rules.
That's right. What right do you have to tell us to leave?
Who do you think you are? First Wife, let me tell you.
The ladies of Fragrant Heaven are not afraid of you.
Look at her frowning.
No wonder, you scared away the man.
- Shut up. - Who's shutting up? You shut up instead.
Why is it so noisy?
Look at Second Wife, causing a toxic atmosphere!
I drank too much. I'm fainting.
I'm fainting.
Look at you.
Why did you drink so much?
He's really so passionate.
Look, girls. Miss Su lied to us.
Look at how well Commander in Chief treats her.
That's right. I'm envious to death.
Commander in Chief. Keep holding me like this.
Commander in Chief.
Commander in Chief. You are not allowed to leave.
You!
Su Yin. Wait. Don't be like this.
I don't care.
Su Yin. I told you to stop!
Stop it!
- Are you crazy? - You are not allowed to talk!
- I'm not mute. Why can't I talk? - Shut up!
I'm making it clear to you today. I may have married you but I won't touch you.
Just give up.
Stop annoying me.
When you are with me,
you can only be Jing Wan and just keep quiet. Understand?
Enough. Stop crying.
Come here.
Come here!
Place your head on my shoulder.
Jing Wan. Every time you lay your head close to me,
your hair is on my face. It's tickles me.
Like a weeping willow would during a spring day.
I wouldn't move and keep you company.
Just like this for a long time.
I would keep sitting with you.

Yin Jing Wan.
I thought that when you left,
I could take your place.
There would come a day
when Pei Lin would fall in love with me.
But today, I finally...
realised how much he loves you.
He found a courtesion
to pretend to be you.
Why is your spirit still hovering around me?
Why are you still tormenting me?
I hate you. I hate you.
We will not give away any piece of our land!
Protect our country.
Abolish Japanese Imperialism!
Protect our country.
We will not give away any piece of our land!
Abolish Japanese Imperialism!
Read the news! Japan launched a surprise attack. Wuchi fell into the hands of the enemy.
Sun Jingyi conceded!- Sun Jingyi is a coward!
He surrendered without firing a single shot.
Burn it.
Commander in Chief. With Sun's surrender, our southern border remains wide open.
It's a disadvantage to us.
Commander in Chief, let's drive south to annihilate the Japanese aggressors.
What do the other provinces say?
The attitude of the other provinces, and even the central Government, remains unsure.
There is no definite response.
They are unsure? They don't resist the foreign invasion.
Japanese slapped us across our left cheek. Should we give them the right one too?
Commander in Chief. If they don't want to fight, we will.
Commander in Chief, we must remain cautious.
In what aspect?
When the homeland is in danger, one must resist valiantly.
But the Japanese plotted this for a long time.
Therefore we cannot fight them alone. The Government must prepare a common strategy for all.
If we unilaterally declare war against Japan,
we will be isolated and without support.
This will in eventually damage us beyond repair.
Yes. This is not a small matter. Commander in Chief, please consider carefully.
Mr. Maeda, thank you for your hospitality.
Do you have anything to tell me?
Mr, Xu, let's speak frankly.
Even though the Japanese Army has occupied Wuchi for only a few days,
Wuchi lies in the Chinese territory.
We have difficulties with governing the city.
Public opinion in various countries is very interested in Wuchi's situation.
Residents are constantly protesting in the streets. This puts us in a predicament.
This is why I wish to identify a local man
willing to give us a helping hand.
You want to find a mediator for your case?
The mediator we are looking for is actually right below our nose.
What?
Me?- Of course! Who else could do that?
You are the only one in Wuchi's business circles who could start such activity.
We have worked together for many years.
You are the only candidate to help with such a task.
Our General Sakai therefore offers you to lead
Wuchi's military and political affairs.
Also for you to cooperate with the Japanese Army for common goals between us.
What do you think, Mr. Xu?
What you mean is
you want me, at this crucial moment, to become a traitor to the country? Hated by everyone?
Young Master Xu, even General Sun is understanding the situation and collaborating with us.
And you still oppose?
I am sorry, Mr. Maeda. Although I do aspire to be wealthy,
I can't openly sell the homeland to achieve this goal.
Thank you for your hospitality. Good bye.
I will wait and see how long you can refuse me.
Gentlemen. Wuchi fell to the hands of the Japanese.
They will certainly put their hand on the commercial world of Wuchi.
We need to think of a solution to protect our interests.
Young Master Xu is right.
But what can we do, one cannot escape the hands of the Japanese.
Wuchi is now under the control of the Japanese. Who would dare to disobey them?
Everyone will accuse us of sabotage.
It's either we are caught or beheaded.
We are at the mercy of others.
What should we do then?
Japanese, despite being fierce,
can do nothing against our unity.
It seems that the Japanese have not yet used all their means.
That's right.
What's that sound?
Go and take a look now.
Where is the sound coming from?
It's coming at us.
This must be a warning to us from the Japanese.
If we refuse to submit,
they won't let us go.
That's right.
Call everyone here.
Listen carefully. Starting today, you must be extra careful when you go out.
Especially my siblings, you must watch over them.
Did you hear me?
Everyone heard, right? Okay, go back to work.
Go now.
By the way, someone just said they were taking your siblings out for dinner.
They took them away.
What?
Brother.
You look good.
Who dressed you like this?
Big Brother. Look at how pretty this doll is.
They said if I'm good, they will give me another one.
Brother, look at this amazing sword.
The Uncle who gave me this sword said that those who carry this sword are heroes. I want to be a hero.
Put down the sword.
Brother. The person who gave us these presents wanted me to hand this letter to you.
Give this to me.
Mr. Xu. Your siblings are very cute.
I hope that they will grow up safely.
I hope that you will think things over carefully.
What? Do I look like a hero?
Look. I look like a knight, right?
Second Brother is really cool.
My esteemed ancestors,
I can't find a way out now.
It is the occasion that makes a hero or a thief of a man.
I am just an ordinary man. Without any power I was an object of many humiliations.
I was at the mercy of others.
For my revenge
I have already suffered so much.
Should I still be afraid of others insults?
With Mu Rong Feng enjoying his freedom,
our Xu family will always be covered in shame.
Mu Rong Feng is now the Commander in Chief of twelve Chengzhou provinces.
He is like the sun at it's highest point.
But there will come a day
I will make this sun fall.
and Earth will be covered in shadows.
Since the fall of Wuchi, the Japan accelerates its invasion on China.
The Japanese soldiers are moving in from all sides in the South, as well as in the North.
They harass the population and cause trouble,
triggering war against all provinces of Yongjiang.
Jin Zhi.
Dad.
Truthfully the situation is so extreme now
that the Japanese will soon put their hands on Chengzhou.
I think this war will start soon.
Dad, are you also supporting the resistance?
I'm military. It is my duty to resist the Japanese invasion.
Jin Zhi. How are you and Mu Rong Feng getting along?
Dad. Why are you suddenly asking this?
What has this to do with the war?
The world is becoming chaotic. As a father, who wouldn't be concerned about their children?
Of course, I need to think about your safety.
Daughter. If you can still continue to live together,
I will agree to it. But if you no longer want to be his wife anymore,
for your safety, I can send you and Xin Zhi overseas. When this stabilises,
we will reunite.
I won't leave. I will never leave Chengzhou.
But do you know that
if you stay here, you will be in danger?
I'm not afraid.
Especially at a time like this, I shouldn't leave my husband.
I shouldn't leave my family.
Spouses are like birds sitting on the same branch. Sharing warmth and facing the same enemies.
This is a universal truth.
Even more so, when has your husband ever thought of you?
Dad. Pei Lin is not who you think he is.
We love and respect each other.
Regardless of how dangerous it is, we must be together through life and death.
Daughter. You can even live this life?
I can't stand it anymore.
Dad. Why are you saying this?
When the war starts,
the one being able to live and die with Mu Rong Feng
may not be you but someone else.
Someone else?
Didn't you hear it?
There are rumours in the army that
he will go for an inspection in the South.
The wife that he'll be taking along will not be you
but Su Yin.
It's mine.
Stop snatching. It's mine. I'm not giving it to you.
It's mine.
Su Yin.
Aiyoo, First Wife came back.
Look at her dark face again.
Look how she will play the master of the house again.
Are you going with Commander in Chief for the inspection at Qianping?
You are really First Wife.
You received the news so fast.
What's wrong? Are you very disappointed
that Commander in Chief is not taking you along?
Do you think it will be a trip for pleasure?
When you are in the middle of a battle, it will be too late for you to cry.
Are you trying to scare me?
Who's willing to be a military wife?
What's so fun about it? I don't want to go.
It's the Commander in Chief who insisted that I go. What else can I do?
Furthermore, he even told me that
as long as I'm with him, he will feel secure.
I am really sorry, First Wife.
You will stay alone in Chengzhou and keep to your cold room.
Commander in Chief and I will wander together, like a happy couple.
But don't worry, First Wife. Nothing will happen to me.
Did you see this gun? Commander in Chief gave this to me for my usage.
To him, my life is more important than anyone else's.
Watch carefully. These gems on both sides are the most expensive gems.
Do you want it? What a pity you don't have one.
Let's go, sisters. Her face has gone pale.
As the First Wife, she has become like this. So pitiful.
First Wife. Admit defeat. You can't beat the women from Heaven Fragrance.
You can't beat us.
No wonder Commander in Chief doesn't want to take you anywhere.
You deserve it. Wasn't it you who wanted this gun?
Come and get it then.
Take it.
