Episode 10
Sir...
It wasn't managed well.
how to explain to Boss?
Even though we did not kill Jin Yuanbao
it was not necessarily completely for nought
Ah Gui
I want you to go and help me investigate a person
Investigate a person?
Yes
Jiang Xiao Xuan's wet nurse, Yu Shi
Jiang Xiao Xuan's wet nurse?
How could Jiang Xiao Xuan have a wet nurse
hidden in the mountains?
The more I think about it the stranger it is
Yeah
The matter must be kept quiet
I understand
Young Madam is here.
Said that she is visiting to see your injuries
Invite her in
Yes
Butler Liu...
Take good care of your body
I'll be going
Go
Cousin, I've prepared some medicine for you
It is beneficial for sword wounds
Try and see
Just get servants to send it over
Why need to personally send it over
No need to be polite
Your shoulder
was injured because of me
Your life-savng act, I will never forget
Why don't you first take off your clothes
I'll help you apply the medicine
That won't be convenient
What's there to be inconvenient
Treating the wound is important
Come I'll help you
Sit down
Never would have thought
a daughter brought up in prestigious isolation
would know how to treat sword wounds
Because since young my health was not well
So I had learned some martial arts to strengthen my body
and inevitably will be knocked around here and there
Our family had an old servant who knew medicinal herbs
So I got him to teach me some treatments
Young Mistress and other girls
really isn't alike, even knowing martial arts
For the sake of strengthening my body
Come, I'll help you undress
It's ok I can do it myself
Young Madam!~No need to be polite, Cousin.
-Don't worry-Really, there's no need
It's nothing, I can do it
Young Madam!
What are you two doing?
Young Master
Young Madam just said...
that she will help me apply medicine
Apply medicine? Apply what medicine
She's so stupid how can she apply medicine? Move!
I-
What kind of bird uses this medicine
Sit, come come
Blood circulation
is only effectively promoted by massaging
Like this
Do you feel better?
Come
You feel the effects?
What are you doing?
Even a non-injured person will be injured by you like that
What do you understand?
Pain is necessary for effectiveness
From what I see
you came just to mess around
Fine, I won't massage
I'll just help him apply, ok?
No, let me
You-
Fine, you go
You go
How about I do it myself
Someone is injured
how come he do it himself
It's just a small injury, no need to trouble you.
Look
Under one roof
how can the difference in character be so big?
Cousin, ignore him
Pretend he is air
I'll help you apply
Go away
Come with me back to our room
I have something to say to you
I haven't applied the medicine yet you go back first
Before the wound closes up
you must be mindful of what you eat
You cannot eat seafood
you cannot eat spicy foods
also
during this time period you must rest well
I know
that every matter in the Jin Mansion
you will personally see through
but
during this time period you must rest well
Because no matter the reason
health is the most important
Oh yeah
if there is anything you need help with
then feel free to ask me
If I am able I will definitely help
Did I say too much?
Am I annoying you?
No
My parents passed away early
It has already been a very very long time
since someone has nagged me like this
I really do want to keep hearing it.
Cousin
You also grew up here since you were young?
I came to the Jin Mansion when I was 10
At that time, Qian Qian was only 6 years old
She cried for many days, wanting our mother
Eventually Auntie got Aunt Gu to take care of her
as for me, I slept in the guest room
At that time I was scared of the dark
At night when I slept I was scared to close my eyes
Auntie really is Auntie
Really is different compared to your real mother
I grew up together with Young Master
Auntie treats me well, she has not mistreated me
Then, you grew up with Yuanbao
which means
you are the person who stayed at the Mansion the longest?
The person who stayed at the Mansion the longest
should be Aunt Gu
She came with Auntie when she married over
Oh yeah
Her son Gu Changfeng
can also be considered the longest now
From when he was born until now
should be over 20 years now
Then the person who's been in the Jin Mansion the longest
is only Aunt Gu and her son?
Should be
Why are you asking?
Is there something you wan to clarify
I will definitely tell you anything I know
Oh it's nothing
It's because I am new here
and don't really know anything about the people and things here
So I just asked a bit
If there's anything else you want to know you can find me
Thank you
Halt!
Come here
What now?
From now on, where you have gone
what you have done
all must be written on this form
From now on you will start to write it up.
Are you going to write it or not?
What's wrong with you
Who are you trying to scare
Are you going to write or not?
No
Fine, you're not writing are you
I'll help you write
Today: Went to Liu Whenzhao's room to help him apply medicine
Very intimately
Sometimes I really do admire you
Admire me what?
How could you be so silly
I'm silly?
Of course
Do I owe you from my past life?
Or have a grudge between us?
You're glaring me down 24 hours a day aren't you annoyed?(Actually says 12 shi'chen. shi'chen = 2 hours)
Fine, since you have so much free time
and exceptionally bored
go ahead and write
Sleep time!
Hold it!
Due to you going to Liu Whenzhao's room today
I punish that you have to sleep on the ground. You are not allowed to sleep on the bed
Also, you can only sleep after you finish writing
You crazy?
I am crazy. Bite me
Get up
What are you doing?
Get on
What are you doing dragging me up here in the middle of the night
Didn't you say I wasn't allowed to sleep on the bed?
Why drag me up
I was thinking about it and something's not right
What if you got a cold from sleeping on the floor and infected me?
Are you crazy?
What are you doing, you!
Wrapping me up like a zongzi!(Zongzi = sticky rice and fillings wrapped in leaves)
This, is a clear demarcation line
You are now allowed over it, understand?
You really are crazy
Bite me
Miss Xue'er are you there?
I especially went and brewed this herbal soup for you
It's for you to calm the nerves
Are you there?
If you don't say anything I'm coming in
Miss Xue'er
Have you seen Miss Xue'er
I think she went this way
Miss Xue'er
I finally found you
It's so late at night with such heavy dew
what are you doing by yourself here?
The sky tonight is different than previously
Who do I have left to yearn and live for?
My heart is empty
Wherever I stand I don't feel cold.
You must not take things too hard
Don't come over!
I won't I won't
It's true there are many things I'm taking hard and cannot get over
I can't sever it, and I don't understand it
My thoughts are tangled up, I don't have any clarity
Miss Xue'er
I can understand how you feel a bit
I, Gu Changfeng can go through this with you together
No one will understand my pain
No one can share this pain
You still can't get over
that ungrateful man
Matters of love
How you get over it just by saying it?
Take care of yourself
Miss Xue'er, Miss Xue'er!
Don't come over, don't come over!
No no
Listen to me
You cannot chase after the past
You must look forward into the future
It's not worth sacrificing your life for someone like that
Looking forward?
I can only see pain and hopelessness
You better leave
-Don't mind me!-I won't leave you like this
-Don't come over-Ok ok I won't
I won't come over, Miss Xue'er
Master Gu, thank you for saving my life
I have no way of repaying you in this lifetime
In my next life, whether it be being a cow or a horse
I will definitely repay you
It wasn't easy for me to save you
I won't let you just die like this
In this world there are still many people who care about you
There is no one
There's me!
Don't!
Save me!
Doctor Gu! Doctor Gu!
Someone!
Save him!
Wake up
I'm dead?
I'm dead!
I-I even saw the Bridge of Helplessness (Bridge to the underworld)
I've definitely died
Mother, I'm so sorry
I've left earlier than you, I'm a bad son
I can even see the Lady of Forgetfulness(Meng Po 孟婆 makes you forget your past life when you reincarnate)
Shouldn't the Lady of Forgetfulness be an old woman?
How come she's so young and beautiful?
Doctor Gu
Stop saying such nonsense
Quickly look at who I am clearly
Xue'er?
Xue'er!
How come you're also dead!
I didn't let you jump
but how come you're so foolish
Doctor Gu
We're both not dead
Look, we're both well
Don't try and trick me I'm definitely dead
We're both definitely dead
Doctor Gu
It's burning!
In the middle of the night
a single man and a single woman, dishevelled clothes
What are you two doing?
Doctor Gu fell into water and caught a cold
He has a fever which won't go down
so I used the standard treatment to help him lower his fever
How come it's burning up so much?
Doctor Gu fell into water and caught a cold
so he's burning up
So you are the Miss
that Changfeng took in from outside?
My name is Xue'er
May I ask you are...
I am Gu Changfeng's mother
No need to ask
My son must have fallen into water because of you?
It's all my fault!
Caused Doctor Gu to fall into water
Miss
How did you come to know my son?
And why did you come with Changfeng to the Mansion?
I got lost in the mountains
and came across bad people
and lost consciousness after that
It is Doctor Gu who saved me
And when I woke up
I was here
You said you got lost
and met some bad people
So you're saying you were out by yourself?
Yes
Such a young Miss like you
how can you go around outside alone like that?
That...
It's hard to explain
Then where is your home?
What kind of people are at your home?
It is not convenient to say
Then how come you went to the well
and caused Changfeng to fall into water
That..that was a misunderstanding
That...
Look at you
Inconvenient to say on the left
Hard to explain on the right
Then there's nothing more for me to ask
Miss, I'll just tell you one thing
Even though Changfeng and I are servants in this household
but we are a clean, traditional family
and do not tolerate gossipy
and dubious acts
You don't need to say anymore, I will go now
Could you please relay my thanks
in saving my life
and that I hope he gets well soon
Xue'er
Xue'er, don't go
Don't go, Xue'er!
Don't go
Aunt Gu
What about
I'll leave after Doctor Gu recovers
since he is like this because of me.
If I leave just like that
my heart will be uncomfortable
In the middle of the night
it won't be nice for me to cast you out like this
Changfeng is an honest child
He needs an able wife
As for a woman
is so daring of unknown origins
I will not allow her to marry into the family.
Today I will stop my words here
You should self-reflect on my words
Have you stared enough
How did you know I was looking at you with your eyes closed?
I can feel it
What are you doing!
You breached the demarcation line
So what about about the demarcation line
I will do whatever I want to do
What are you doing go away!
You're awake?
You were taking care of me?
Your fever is gone
Thank you
You've helped me so many times
I still don't know how to repay you
Then, how about you stay here?
Stay here?
Look at you, you were able to wake me
You probably have talent
Why don't you stay here and become my assistant?
Together we can practice medicine and save people, how about it?
Forget it, forget it
When you recover, I will leave
Look at me my illness is not cured yet
How could you be so heartless?
I didn't say I will leave now and not care for you
I feel very cold right now
Very cold?
My fever doesn't seem to be reduced
Then...then...
Then get up
Sleep again after you drink some medicine
Come
Drink some more
How do you feel?
Better
That's good
I'll go and make some more medicine
You rest up in bed
I thought you were practising calligraphy
turns out you were just scrawling
I'm not scrawling
This is a symbol on the bandits' body
The bandits' body?
According to my investigations
Many times on the road
we have met all kinds of bandits
They all have something in common
and that is that they all have this symbol on their body
They are all from the same group.
If we approach the case using this symbol
then we will find the true culprit smoothly.
Although your mouth is somewhat poisonous
but you brain is rather useful
Constable
Constable Jin
What is it?
Relaying bad news
Say it
The current situation is extremely disadvantageous to us
Flying Panther was murdered in our supervision
The perpetrator did not appear
and that Chuchu was never found
Flying Panther is dead
The perpetrator did not appear
And now Chuchu has ran
All evidence has come to a dead end
It's my fault for being careless
in not being able to catch Chuchu
It's not your fault
If anyone were to blame, then blame it on that Mole-Face
If he did not randomly interfere
breaking the wheels
Chuchu would not have ran
What Mole-Face?
Last time at the "House of Tenderness"
We would have easily been able to catch Miss Chuchu
but that weirdo Mole-Face
had to run in
So that Chuchu was able to run off in the middle
Otherwise, she would have already been caught.
Young Mister
Look at you dressed like a human
Today allow Grand Master to peel away your skin
and see if you're Zhang or Li!
What are you laughing at?
It seems this Miss Chuchu is complicated
She's from a brothel
and freely meets various people.
As long as we can find her
I think all the clues we have here...
will become clear.
She knows that she herself is important.
That's why until now, she still hasn't appeared.
If she were to reveal herself,
what do you think the consequences would be?
I think that if she were to reveal herself,
the person who backed her will protect himself
and kill her to destroy the evidence.
That's right.
As long as she shows her face,
many important people will be lured out.
But right now, regardless of what we do,
she just refuses to fall for it.
What if there were another Chuchu?
Another Chuchu?
So what Constable is saying is
that we find someone to disguise as Chuchu
and lure the snakes into action?
Sister, why don't you shave a bit first?
You nasty!
I haven't even matured yet
Look I'm not yet developed
You think this will work?
Constable Jin
This is all we could find
and were already the most prettiest out of those who were willing to sacrifice
Besides, didn't you say the face will be covered
Then with the face covered whocan see the ugliness
Quick, put on your veils
Dance a little
Quickly cover up
Dance!
Dance
Shake your hips
I'll shake
Dance
Look, look
Dance!
That's right
All of you shake your hips
My sisters, so awesome!
Young Master Jin
Withdraw
Hateful
I haven't finished dancing yet
Alright alright
Chuchu is a courtesan
Do you guys know what a courtesan is?
Dancing like you guys, is that even a courtesan?
That's called a flower pot!(play on words: courtesan = hua'kui, flower pot = hua'pen )
If you put on a show you must make a show, seriously!
Hater
Constable Jin
Chuchu has returned to "House of Tenderness"
Chuchu has reappeared at "House of Tenderness"?
Yes
Boss is really angry after hearing this news
Are you sure?
Sure
Your Excellency
Are you sure Chuchu had been exterminated
You're suspecting me?
No, I believe you
but you must make Boss believe you
By the looks of it
we will have to make a visit to the "House of Tenderness"
Hearing this news Boss really was angry
He said no matter if Chuchu is real or fake
she cannot appear again
Wang Qiang, Ma Zhong
-Here-Here
You two come in with me
Others standby
Yes
-Excellent!-Good!
Good!
Go and inform the others
to watch for my hand signal, signal is dropping my cup
Once signal is made, immediately action and arrest
Yes
Young Lord, you've come again
Come and sit over here
It's been prepared
Let's go
Young Lord, please sit
Young Lord, sit down for a bit first
I will immediately go and prepare
You two, come sit here
I'll go find two girls
The star is making her appearanceSincere inquiries only
Good Good!
-She's coming-It's her
It seems so
How come
I have an extremely, really
indescribably
and unexplainable feeling of familiarity
It's me
How did you get here?!
I ran over!
What mischief you up to?
It's dangerous here everywhere
I'm not up to mischief
Right now I'm not your wife
I am the star of "House of Tenderness', Chuchu
Xiaoxuan
Those 2 are suspicious
I'll go check it out
I'm warning you, stop playing around
don't interfere with my case
It's dangerous here
Hurry and go, understand?
Be happy
Move, move!
Procuress!(Pimp)
Procuress!
Procuress
What is it?
Coming to a place like this of course to get girls!
Understood
Understood, understood
Please sit, please sit!
Come in come in
Sit, sit
Come
Look at the two who just came in
They look like killers
maybe it's weapons in their bags
I'm warning you stop playing
Don't worry
Come, drink!
I hate those who use material goods the most
Then what will move you?
Men should be like men
Those who only use money to deal with people
How boring
Sisters, let's go
Let's go
Hey sto-
Master~
Come~
Come let's drink~~
What
Two big men bullying one woman
What hero is that
I also want to see
what you hold in your bag
I apologize, two big brothers
This is a misunderstanding
Misunderstanding, HMM?
I take it as sincere!
Masters
-What's the problem-None of your business
What is it
We came here to get girls
and they came to rip up our bag
It's dangerous here
Come upstairs with me and hide your face for a little
Follow me
-Misunderstanding?!?-Don't be angry
My mood is ruined!
I'll help you two find a beauty
You said it!
Don't be angry don't be angry
Sit
Let's go, sisters
Let's go
Scatter
Constable Jin
Don't move
Constable, we've come
I can see that
Come a little later why don't you
Sorry, Constable
We will not let you down next time
Yes
Move, move!
Let go!
Move
Hurry up
Where you going
Look at you, is your brain not working?
Who needed you to come?
You clearly knew that I was on a case
and you suddenly ran over, how dangerous
I can handle it I got it under control
What control?
Who do you think you are
Based on your small fry martial arts
you think you can handle everything?
So rash,
not using your brain at all.
If you want to die that's fine
don't cause others to worry.
Jin Yuanbao, let's make this clear
Right now its me who came all the way to help
and not only did I not get any gratefulness
I have to suffer your rant
Who wanted you to help?
You're just creating more trouble
Can't you see what kind of place this is?
And you still dressed like this to show other men
No sense of shame at all
Not ladylike at all
Not at all like a wife
That's right
I was never originally a lady
I am also not your wife
We haven't yet consummated
What are you saying
I said I'm not your wife
You don't need to mind me
You're said I don't need to mind you?
If I didn't mind you you would've lost your life
Don't just give me trouble
True I can't do anything
I can only bring you trouble
I just had to come and help you investigate
I was senseless!
Stop there!
What are you doing?
I'm going to disappear
and won't bother this great Constable Jin
Let's go home
Wait
Change your clothes
Looking at it is discomforting
Come play again next time
Take care
Young Lord
Right now it's a mess inside
You're better off coming another day
I didn't come here to play
I came to find someone
I heard that there was a Miss Chuchu at "House of Tenderness",
an extraordinary beauty.
Can I see her?
Why would there be a Miss Chuchu?
Can you do the favour?
Young Lord, don't misunderstand
It's not that I can't do you a favour
but I shouldn't soil the name Chuchu
This morning
this girl came from nowhere
who took a sharp knife
held it against me saying she wanted to be the star.
There was such a thing?
I know right
I saw that she had beautiful looks
and a willowy figure, so I agreed
I allowed her to select her own clothes and name
She said "Chuchu is good"
Then?
Then I don't know why but the police came to arrest people
The commotion only just ended.
Arrested one person
That Chuchu
then ran off to god knows
Then this Miss Chuchu
what does she look like?
I won't hide from you
This beauty
really is an extraordinary beauty
If such odd things didn't occur
then being in the limelight is only a matter of time.
What a pity.
You can say that
She is not tall not short, not fat not skinny
Rosy lips white teeth, pretty brows beautiful eyes
Creamy skin
Other than these, any distinctive features?
Not really...
Oh yeah!
Behind her ear there is a small red mole
Red mole?
Speak up! Surname, name!
Let me ask you
What is your aim at "House of Tenderness"
Under whose orders?
Seems you won't shed a tear before you see the coffin!
Our Police Department
never uses torture.
Seems like we can try it for your sake today
Want to scare me?
What have I not seen before?
Then let us see
if our torture instruments are more formidable
or your mouth
Constable, let's begin torture
I don't believe he won't open his mouth
Torture for what?
Too rash!
What do I always tell you guys?
We must be proper and civilized.
Untie him, let him go
Constable Jin, that-
That what?
Constable
Let him go just like that?
If we leave him here
he won't dare to answer our questions
Leaving him in prison will waste our food supplies
Let him go
That...
Alright, untie him
Yes
The matters of their organization
he is most clear on.
I'm just going to let him go
and see how long he will be living
I estimate
Before an hour
his own people
will send people to kill him.
Go, we're not sending you out
Go, please
Your Excellency
I am willing to answer your questions.
I will definitely speak the truth
I beg Your Excellency to give me a new path.
