[Perfect Couple]

Episode Twenty-Three

- I remember all you've said...
- Auntie!

Gu Chang Feng and Xue Er
were going to elope.

Elope?

Yes. Bring them in!

- Move!
- Bring them in.

Why are we being arrested?
We haven't done anything illegal.

Xue Er, are you all right?

I'm all right.

Where are you off to
in the middle of the night?

Xue Er, don't you know that
I'm marrying you to Yuan Bao?

I know that.

Then where do you plan to go with
Chang Feng late at night?

Madam Jin, I am a guest
here at Jin Manor.

I am not your servant.

My marriage is not a concern
of Jin Manor.

I can make my own decision.

Is our Yuan Bao not good enough for you?

My Lady, Xue Er and I are
already in love.

We will never be apart in this life.

I ask that Madam Jin
grants us this wish.

Madam Jin has already given Xue Er's
hand in marriage to Yuan Bao.

How dare you take such an immoral action!

Mother, I'm already in my twenties.

I've finally met someone who admires
and encourages me.

I've sworn to protect her all my life.

I don't understand.

Xue Er and I are in love

why can't you let us be?

How dare you talk back!

How dare you talk back!

- I'll hit you to death!
- Mother!

- Mother!
- Un-filial child!

How dare you talk back!

You dare to do this?
- Mother!

- Stop hitting him!
- Un-filial child!

- Mother, hear me out!
- Auntie Gu!

- We are one and we'll never part!
- Auntie Gu, stop hitting him.

I'll hit you to death!

All right now! Stop hitting him!

Fine, you are all dismissed.

I know all about your feelings now.

- My Lady...
- You are dismissed.

Let's go.

I don't care! I want to marry
Cousin Yuan Bao.

He's taking a concubine but you
recommended Xue Er instead of me.

Do you even care about me?

Now that she rejected this offer
and even tried to elope!

You even had someone bring them back.

What is a concubine?

A concubine is of a lesser class.

I won't allow you to become
anyone's concubine.

I don't care about the status

as long as I can stay in Jin Manor
and be married to Cousin Yuan Bao!

Qian Qian, I have my reasons for making
Xue Er become Jin Yuan Bao's concubine.

I already have your future
all planned out for you.

You will definitely marry
into a good family.

I won't marry anyone but my cousin.

- How dare you!
- I dare to!

I'll think of something if
you won't help me!

Get back here.

Get back here!

My Lady, it's my fault that I haven't
been more strict with him.

That's why Chang Feng talked back at
you for the sake of an outsider.

Xiao Cui, get up.

Here.

Chang Feng was almost going to
abandon you just because

I tried to get Yuan Bao a concubine.

I was worried that you might blame me.

My Lady, how would I dare to blame you?

All in all, it is Miss Xue Er
who isn't mature enough.

She must have persuaded Chang Feng.

That's why he got confused
and made such a mistake.

We are to be blamed for it.

After all, Xue Er is the daughter of
a big and respectable family.

We just decided with our words
that she is to become a concubine.

In my opinion, Chang Feng isn't just
momentarily foolhardy.

Both he and Xue Er are obviously
truly in love with each other.

Xiao Cui, there's no need for you
to get angry about this.

I can tell that Xue Er seems
gentle but firm.

She has a strong mindset and together
with Chang Feng who is so pure

actually make a pretty good couple.

But... now we have to choose
someone else as a concubine.

Auntie, I'm willing to be his concubine!

Qian Qian!

You come from an aristocratic family

and you're also my niece.

Your deceased parents
entrusted you to me

not to have you raised and
married off as a concubine!

Even if the man is Jin Yuan Bao.

Auntie, I know that you say this
out of your love for me.

But you also know that

I really like Yuan Bao very much.

I've liked him since I was little.

When we were little
you used to say that

you would get Yuan Bao to marry me?

You were both just children then.

That was just said in jest.

Miss Qian Qian, Madam raised you and
she truly loves you very much.

But marriage isn't just some
joke that we crack.

Sometimes, not even Madam
has a say in it.

I know that!

Their marriage was bestowed by
Empress Dowager so we have no say in it.

I'm not blaming Auntie.

If you aren't going to get a concubine
for my cousin then it's fine.

But now that you do have plans to

why would you look to an
outsider you know nothing about?

She's stirred up unnecessary trouble.

Yuan Bao doesn't like her either.

Why won't you just fulfill my wish?

No way.

Daughters of the Liu family
do not become concubines.

Auntie!

I've lost my parents at a young age.

You brought me up.

Jin Manor is my home.

My family is you, my brother,
and my cousin.

I'm not willing to lose my family again

to marry into some stranger's family!

Moreover, you know what it's like
to be married off to another family.

Could you bear to marry me off

and have my mother-in-law
bind me to house rules

my sisters-in-law pick on me?

I have no one else in my family.

If one day, my husband doesn't
love me anymore

my mother-in-law and
sisters-in-law will bully me

and who will stand up for me?

Don't say such nonsense!

I will definitely marry you into
a respectable family.

Besides, with me, your brother,
and Yuan Bao

who would dare to bully you?

Auntie!

Life is definitely difficult as
someone's concubine.

But I am marrying my cousin.

You can still protect me.

My cousin dotes on me a lot.

My cousin-in-law doesn't seem
hard to deal with.

I'll let her have her way
and respect her.

Could she possibly swallow me alive
here in Jin Manor?

Have you really thought it through?

If you marry into Jin family
as a concubine

even if you are my niece

you can never dress in red
(red is the color for first wives)

and you are forever lesser than
the first wife wherever you go.

Even if you have any children they
will only be considered misbegotten.

I know that! I'm willing!

Qian Qian, you've said so much already.
I now know about your feelings.

I could arrange anything for you

but I couldn't grant you
what you wish for the most.

If you marry Yuan Bao, he won't bully you

but where will all his affections be?

Even as his mother
I can't guarantee you anything.

Auntie! Since you understand my feelings

you should know that I am only willing
to marry my cousin.

As long as I can be with him

I'll be happy as a concubine.

If I had to marry someone else

I wouldn't be happy even if
I were to marry the emperor!

I beg Auntie to grant me my wish!

I hope that your deceased parents
can forgive me.

Get up now.

Thank you, Auntie!

Wang An Feng's wife always
addresses him as 'darling.'

An Feng said, 'It is inappropriate to
address me in such intimate terms.'

What does this mean?

This is talking about a man
named Wang An Feng.

He told his wife that he suffered
a lot to marry her

so as his wife, she should
respect him utterly

adore him and never to disobey him.

It doesn't mean that, right?
You're lying to me.

Who's lying to you?

All right, let me take another look.

I'll see what his wife said.

You don't have to. His wife
was definitely willing to obey.

Give it back to me to take a look!

Aren't you a knowledgeable lady?
What is there to read?

What now? Are you mocking me again?

- My wound hurts again...
- Liar.

I'm not lying. It really hurts.

- I'll take a look.
- Young Master.

- It hurts...
- Madam is here.

Let's go and have a look.

Look! You're all right.

I knew that you're all right.
You're still pretending.

- Mother.
- Mother.

Are you feeling better?

I'm much better now.

Go and rest.

I am here today to speak to Xiao Xuan.

I'm all right. Why don't you just
speak your mind?

Sure.

Xiao Xuan, you've been married into our
family for more than six months now.

I don't see any signs of pregnancy yet.

The heritage of the Jins has
to be safeguarded and inherited.

We can not do without any offspring.

I had expected you to
realize that on your own.

You're born into a prestigious family.

But... You are also still a bit immature.

That is why I have to be
concerned about this matter.

I have already decided to get a
concubine for Yuan Bao.

I have also decided on the candidate.

I'll get both their birth dates
looked at tomorrow.

Then I'll choose an auspicious date
to hold the wedding.

Mother, why are you so anxious?

Aren't I still alive and well?

Moreover, I am strong and fit.

After some time, Xiao Xuan and I
can try a bit harder.

Are you still worried that we can't
produce an heir to inherit the family?

Un-filial child. How dare you
even say that?

Who was the one who pointed a
sword at himself in the palace?

You had the nerve to threaten
Empress Dowager with the fact

that you are a sole heir.

So you shouldn't blame me for being
anxious to get you a concubine.

Mother, aren't I getting along with
Xiao Xuan just fine?

Why must you stuff someone in
between us and make us unhappy?

Getting along just fine?

The both of you? One ran away
and the other ran after her.

Then you were both carried home
drenched in blood.

This is 'getting along just fine?'

Say no more. I've made up my mind.

Since you don't take the responsibility
of Jin family seriously

as your mother, I will not allow
you to fool around like this.

Mother... The concubine that
you've chosen might not be willing.

You are definitely too deeply in love.

I really need to get someone
mature to keep an eye on you.

You don't have to worry
about the candidate.

Qian Qian is more than willing to oblige.

You grew up with her
since you were little.

I believe that you won't treat her badly.

Mother, you're going to let my cousin...

become my concubine?

It's not Xue Er?

It's not Xue Er.

Qian Qian is a daughter within
our own families.

She knows the family inside out.

It's normal for cousins to marry.

What's wrong with marrying her?

Mister Liu, Miss Qian Qian is here.

Brother!

Why have you asked me over?

I jut heard that you went to
Madam Jin voluntarily

to ask to be married to Jin Yuan Bao
as his concubine?

You're not concerned about me anyway.

I had no other choice.

That's why I shamelessly
went to Auntie on my own.

Yes, my sister is all grown up now.

She has her own ideas now and
disregards her older brother.

Something slips my mind and off you go
presenting yourself to be a concubine.

Here's a question. What is a concubine?

A concubine is a servant!

You are the daughter of Liu family
and Liu Wen Zhao's sister.

I won't allow you to kneel and
serve tea to others.

I won't allow you to so
cheaply degrade yourself !

I am not degrading myself!

I'm not marrying someone else!

I'm marrying our cousin!

He will treat me well!

This is decided.

You're getting sick one after another.

You won't have to worry
about the wedding arrangements.

Yuan Bao, you just need to recuperate
and wait for the new bride.

Xiao Xuan...

Every woman needs to go through this.

You have to be open-minded.

Or else, there is nothing that
I can do for you.

Mother, I won't marry her.

You have no other choice.

You have no say in this either.

Because I don't agree to it.

I am Jin Yuan Bao's only wife.

Unless I die

or he divorces me

I will never allow Jin Yuan Bao
to take any concubines.

I don't care whether she is his cousin

or a woman from any respectable family

I won't allow any of them.

Because I don't consent to it.

Jiang Xiao Xuan.

Are these the manners you are taught
in an academic family like the Jiangs?

This is your duty as a first wife to
produce offspring

and get concubines for your husband.

You haven't even become pregnant after
being married for so long.

You don't even feel guilty about it

and yet you are still so arrogant
and easily jealous.

Do you still know your duties as a woman?

I don't know what the duties
of a woman are.

I only know that I will not share
my husband with anyone else.

Yuan Bao already said that
we are both young

so in due course, we'll definitely
have children in the future.

If this is your concern

you don't have to worry about that.

If you are worried Yuan Bao will forget his
duties because he is too attached to me

then in my opinion
you don't know your son well enough.

The Jiangs certainly have a way
in educating their daughter.

I had thought that Madam Jiang was
too harsh on you

but now it seems that
it wasn't harsh enough.

Our family declined and
I had no other choice

but to seek refuge with you
here at the Jins.

Yes, indeed. Due to my incompetence
that you can't be a true mistress.

But have I worked so hard
only for myself?

I'm waiting for the day to rebuild our
family name and marry you off into luxury!

Qian Qian, you're still
too young to understand

the humiliation of being a concubine.

I will fix this mistake of yours
and won't bring it up again!

This matter is dismissed.

I know what it means to be a concubine!

Yuan Bao and Auntie will be kind to me!

They won't treat me poorly!

They will be kind to you?

She is our aunt.

She is our father's younger sister.

Now she is marrying her own niece
to her son as a concubine!

How is that being kind to you?

I went to beg Auntie for it!

But she still shouldn't have
agreed to it!

Listen up! I won't allow you
to marry Jin Yuan Bao

or offer tea to Jiang Xiao Xuan!

It's already humiliating I work as a
housekeeper I will not sacrifice my sister!

Now that she made this decision
I no longer respect her as my aunt!

Brother, do you not want me
to be a concubine

or do you not want me to be
beneath Jiang Xiao Xuan?

Because it will disgrace you
in the face of your beloved!

You hate that! You do!

You hate that Jin Yuan Bao
married Jiang Xiao Xuan and not you!

I don't care what you have in mind.

Rebuilding our family
and restoring Liu Manor?

There is only one thing on my mind.

That is marrying Jin Yuan Bao!

Even if I have to be a concubine!

I think that your mother is really angry.

She walked so quickly even
the maids couldn't catch up with her.

What should I do?

But at least she doesn't want you
to marry Xue Er anymore.

Now Chang Feng can be at ease.

Yes, Chang Feng can relax now.

But you just talked back to my mother

don't you think you may have
gone overboard?

But it was just to my liking.

I like that.

Since Mother decided to stir up
such a huge commotion

she should expect her own bad luck in
having such an evil daughter-in-law.

Seriously, what should I do
now that she is angry at me?

We can't do anything about it.
Who told her to stir up trouble?

Listen to me. Just stay in
our quarters a few days.

We'll pretend to be ill and stay indoors.

Otherwise my mother might get angry
again when she sees us.

After some time when
she isn't angry anymore

it will all be fine.

Only you can handle your mother.

Not at all. You were quite good
at it just now.

You said... After some time
we will eventually have children.

But you should know that children
won't just pop up on their own...

You have to do something to get them...

You're so annoying!

Hold that properly!

Miss Qian Qian.

Why have you asked for me?

Move all these things to the Western
Chamber in Young Master's quarters.

Organize them according to
different categories.

What should I say if
Young Master asks me about them?

You're so stupid!

Madam has already decided to marry
me to Cousin Yuan Bao.

These are all my personal belongings.

First tidy them up then move them over.

I'll arrive right after.

Where were you caught?

In the courtyard.

You've improved then.

I thought that you were
hiding in the room.

But I've already told my mother
and Madam Jin

that Xue Er will never become
your concubine!

She has to marry me!

Great! No wonder Madam Jin
had a change of heart right away.

Chang Feng, well done!

You have to persist.

You really said that in front of
my mother and your mother?

What did they say?

My mother first started crying, hitting
and scolding me.

Then Madam Jin talked her out of it.

She said, 'Stop crying.'

'It's good that Gu Chang Feng has
his own opinions.'

Then we left afterward.

My mother always treats me like a child.

This time, I want her to know that
I can make my own decisions.

I must marry Xue Er.

How was that, Xue Er? Chang Feng
professed his love to you in public.

Have you accepted?

No matter what, I will have to
move out of Jin Manor first.

I'll move out first and then
we'll discuss it.

Why?

Why?

Your mother is right. I have no
valid reason for staying here.

My last name isn't Jin either.

Why should I lodge under
someone else's roof?

Chang Feng, don't worry about this.

I don't need you around.

You've already said so yourself

that you will only marry her.

What else do you want?

My mother was just talking nonsense.

Don't take it to heart, all right?

Chang Feng, your mother is right.

A person is respectable when
they can be independent.

Or others will look down on you.

Chang Feng, I'm really happy and
grateful that you want to marry me.

That's all the more reason
I can't stay here in Jin Manor.

Do you understand?

But... my last name isn't Jin either.

Do I stay here in Jin Manor as well?

You eat and drink from my family.

You wasted so many herbs
in the past few years

but now you're trying to draw a line?

You...

Can you not talk so much?

Chang Feng, it's different for you.

You were born and raised here.

Yuan Bao is like your brother and
Jin Manor is your home.

What am I to do if you're leaving?

And what about this pharmacy?

Chang Feng, you're not a child anymore.

Why don't you just shut up?

Let them discuss this among themselves.

- Be more agile!
- Yes!

- Higher!
- Yes, I got it!

Young Master.

My dear and Sister! You're back!

- Go and get them some water right away.
- Yes!

My husband and sister can wash
their faces and rinse their mouths.

Then we'll have our meal.

What is all this about?

I'm redecorating my new home.

Since Mother has already decided

and I'm worried that you might be anxious

I moved over first and started
redecorating the place.

You... Are your brains still functioning?

You moved here on your own?

You called him your husband?

Sister, I know that this is very sudden

but we are a family after all.

Now that Qian Qian has someone
to rely on for life

In great joy, I can't wait to be here
to serve both my husband and sister.

I hope you won't mind that
I am overly impatient.

In the future, I will definitely
always respect you, my sister.

I will not compete for
our husband's favor.

Just a tiny corner of
Yuan Bao's heart for me is enough.

Let's go.

Go and keep busy.

Let's go.

Come home soon, my husband and sister!

I'll wait for you to have lunch!

I didn't expect such troubles
here in my own home.

You don't have to keep me company here.

Go to your cousin.

I am not her sister.

I don't want to be her husband either.

This matter of taking a concubine
is such a farce.

It must come to an end quickly.

All right, if you're so capable make
her go back to her own quarters.

It seems that you are jealous?

Yes, I am jealous. So what?

All girls get easily jealous.

What do you intend to do?

'Let he who tied the bell
on the tiger take it off.'

I have to persuade my mother.

I'll give it a try.

What? Are you still jealous?

Are you still angry?

You're so silly. Come here.

Is it all better now?

All right, don't worry.
I'll take care of it.

Mother, I've made up my mind.

I'll take over the Bureau of Weaponry.

I know you actually don't like
the idea of concubines.

But now that you are
making such a fuss over it

for fear I will be too devoted
to a romantic relationship

and forget about my responsibilities.

You were right to be worried.

I was too absorbed
in my own interests

and overlooked the duties of the family.

But now, I've thought it through.

Even Chang Feng knows that he should
act mature like a grown-up

how can I still let you bear the
huge burden of Jin Manor alone?

You've changed your mind so quickly?

Mother, from now on

I am willing to inherit
the family business.

I will take the burden of
the Bureau of Weaponry.

You won't have to be worried ever again.

I've been asking you to do so for
so many years but you've insisted

on being a detective.

Now that I am getting you a concubine
and making your wife upset

you're willing to take over the
Bureau of Weaponry?

Mother, I don't want Xiao Xuan
to be upset.

That is indeed one of the reasons.

But I also don't wish Qian Qian
to waste her life away.

Most of all, I do not wish to see
Mother worry about us all the time.

You are getting more and more gray hair.

I was born into the Jin family
and therefore I must carry

responsibilities as heir
to the family.

I can't be willful anymore.

You've always said I'd be a grown-up
after I married.

I am already married now.

And I have been through so many challenges.

I'm willing to take this
responsibility from you.

I've also thought through
a lot of things.

Is Mother glad about this?

When sons grow up, a mother can't have
them do things her way.

I've said this so many times

and yet it was never more true
until your wife lost her temper.

Mother, you know that Xiao Xuan
isn't such an unreasonable person.

Moreover, she is devoted to me

and I, to her.

We will respect and honor you together.

Our family will prosper. Isn't this
what you would like to see?

Xiao Xuan is a lot more
fortunate than I am.

Liu Qian Qian, go back to
where you came from.

My chambers are too small to
fit someone like you in there.

You're a petty, green-eyed monster!

So? I am a petty
green-eyed monster!

Listen up. As long as I am alive

I will never allow any woman to
get close to Jin Yuan Bao.

What sisters? I don't care about that.

You...

I'm going to complain to Auntie!

Qian Qian, I've already talked to Mother.

You will remain as my cousin.

I'll still protect and care for you
as a cousin.

But I will only be your cousin.

Take all of Miss Qian Qian's belongings
back to her quarters.

Yes.

Jiang Xiao Xuan! I'll wait and see how
long you can keep fooling my cousin!

What are you doing here again?

Again?

I'm here to tell you that
you can both be at ease.

My mother has given up the idea of
getting me a concubine.

You're both safe now.

Really?

How did you manage to persuade Madam Jin?

I have my methods.

No wonder you don't want us here...
You're on a date?

Of course not.

We're discussing how to move
out of Jin Manor.

How is the discussion so far?

Don't torment yourselves if
you don't want to move out.

We are all safe now, anyway.

Chang Feng... He can't bear to
part with his pharmacy.

But I really want to move out.

It is indeed very difficult
to make a decision.

I don't mind moving out alone.

No matter what
I'll respect your decision.

Chang Feng, if you wish to
achieve something

you will always have to
pay a price for it.

That one!

Do you see that big one up there?

Over there!

Right! That's that one!

Do you see it?

That one is exceptionally big.

Yes! It is that one!

- Use more strength.
- That's right!

And that one up there!

- Yes.
- Did you see the one up there?

- Up there...
- Young Mistress.

Are you picking plums?

I saw a few that are already ripe.

That's why I wanted to pick them.

If I was fully recovered

I'd have climbed up to get them.

Speaking of which
I am here because of that.

This medication is for you.

It removes scars and helps
with muscle growth.

This medication is too expensive.

Save it for yourself instead.

I got it especially for you
so don't refuse.

Thank you, Cousin Wen Zhao.

Apply it before bed.
Don't forget to use it.

By the way, Cousin Wen Zhao...

In regards to Qian Qian...

Qian Qian is immature so
don't take it to heart.

I won't allow her to stir
up any more trouble.

I wanted to tell you that

Yuan Bao never intended to take
Qian Qian as his concubine.

Besides, Mother has agreed not
to make him take any concubines.

I was worried you'd be angry at
both us and Mother.

Why would I be angry at you?

Madam Jin has agreed not to let
Yuan Bao take concubines?

Yuan Bao and Madam Jin had
a serious discussion.

Yuan Bao agreed to take over
the Bureau of Weaponry.

Madam Jin was worried
Yuan Bao was still childish.

But now that Yuan Bao is willing to
take on the responsibility of the family

Madam Jin agreed not to get
him any concubines.

Yuan Bao is going to take over the
Bureau of Weaponry?

He's agreed not to run away
from his duties anymore.

He got up very early this morning

and said that from now on, he will be
in charge of both bureaus.

He will start preparing for
the transition very soon.

That's for the best.

Jin Yuan Bao is taking over
the Bureau of Weaponry?

After days of waiting

this is the news that you bring me?

Your Highness, this news is quite sudden

please give me some more time.

- I am sure to...
- Wen Zhao.

Come here.

Don't be afraid, come here.

Liu Wen Zhao, I have humiliated you so

do you feel disgruntled and have the urge

to rip me to shreds to feel better?

I wouldn't dare to think so.

You definitely wouldn't dare to think so.

Liu Wen Zhao!

Being overly sympathetic and indecisive
are two of your biggest faults!

I've already told you that

once you killed Jin Yuan Bao

the Bureau of Weaponry
is naturally yours.

The most important source of power that
Crown Prince holds will be in your hands.

Would I then still dare to
slap you around like this?

Your Highness is right to
teach me a lesson.

I am indeed indecisive and compromised
my interests as well as others.

I'm very compassionate.

I'll give you a tip.

You're a son of a declined
aristocratic family.

Although you helped me sell some girls

and made some money

your biggest bargaining chip is the Jin
Family's Bureau of Weaponry.

Once you have the bureau in your hands

then you have the right to stand up
to me.

Your Highness, thank you for the tip.

You've kept Jin Yuan Bao
alive for so long

because of your brotherly love for him?

Crown Prince has already taken over
the supervision of the nation.

It seems I am only one step
away from taking the throne.

The only obstacle in my way

is my brother, the Crown Prince.

Do you think that I should
show him any mercy?

I don't know...

Of course not!

If I am to make great achievements

one's success is built on
thousands of lives.

If you don't think of sacrificing others

you'll have to sacrifice yourself.

Liu Wen Zhao, I will never keep
anyone who is useless to me.

Apart from the Bureau of Weaponry
you mean nothing to me.

Do you understand?

I understand.

But nothing has been finalized yet.

I am sure to do my best not to
disappoint Your Highness again.

Sure.

Auntie, the Bureau of Weaponry has
long been a family asset.

There's bound to be some senior officials
who think highly of themselves.

They would disregard Young Master.

Because of that

Young Master must make an
impressive first appearance.

Therefore in many aspects
we can't cut back on the formalities.

I initially just want him to take over
the seal and the books first.

Then he can familiarize himself with
the duties later.

But it now seems that we have
to formally make his authority known.

We have to hold a formal
inauguration ceremony for Yuan Bao.

It not only demonstrates the capability
of my son to those senior officials

but also allows Yuan Bao to
know how heavy this burden is.

How wise, Auntie.

Xiao Xuan did a very good job
arranging my birthday banquet.

Why don't we put her in charge
of this ceremony as well?

You can help her with it, all right?

How would I dare not obey
Auntie's orders?

It's been so hectic these past few days.

I was still worried that you'd be
angry at me because of Qian Qian

and distance yourself from me.

Why would I do that, Auntie?

Qian Qian was the immature one.

You brought up the both of us.

How could I possibly hold a grudge
against you for anything?

Yuan Bao, the last time you were here

you were still in my arms?

Today, I've brought you here to
the Bureau of Weaponry.

Be sure to pay attention to
every little detail.

Otherwise, you won't even know how
many doors there are

at the Bureau of Weaponry when they
ask at the inauguration.

That would be a disgrace.

That won't happen, Mother.
That's not difficult for me.

But do we really need to hold an
inauguration ceremony?

Can't I just assume office?

No, that won't do. Your cousin is right.

The young master of Jin family taking
over the Bureau of Weaponry.

That is a huge event.

We must have a formal ceremony.

Otherwise, we can't report back to
Empress Dowager and Crown Prince.

Here, this is the Commander's seal.

The rule of the Bureau is that

all succumb to the one
who holds the seal.

Even if you are the Young Master

they will only take orders from you
when you hold that seal.

Open up the veil.

I am the Young Master of Jin family!

I present the seal to you!
Open the gates!

It's Young Master Jin. Open the gates!

Wait a minute. Auntie, can you
take me in there with you?

I'd like a look at the
weapons in the Bureau

for any that might come in
handy at the inauguration.

We'll use them as a demonstration of
Jin family's splendor.

Yuan Bao, you now hold the seal.

What do you think?

Mother, the Bureau of Weaponry
is of great military importance.

It's inappropriate for outsiders
to go in there.

If you need anything

hand me a list of required items.

I'll get you what you need.

Yes, Wen Zhao. Yuan Bao is right.

The rule is that unrelated personnel
are not to be allowed in.

This is the first lesson that he has
to learn as a young master.

If you have any concerns, discuss
them with Yuan Bao back at the manor.

Let's go in.

Why have we rushed out General
of Invincible Might so soon?

I thought there were another
two weeks.

Young Master has taken over
the manufacturing unit.

Madam Jin said Young Master
is to ignite it in person

- to demonstrate his authority.
- Young Master? I've never met him.

You haven't met him?

Top detective Jin Yuan Bao
haven't you heard of him?

I don't know. What detective?

Can a detective ignite a cannon?

When it explodes, he will be
so scared he will wets his pants.

Brother...

Brother?

- Brother...
- What's the matter, Qian Qian?

Are you going to abandon me?

Don't be silly.

Why would I abandon you?

Here.

I locked myself in my room and thought
for three days and three nights.

Qian Qian, I was wrong.

I have been busy with my own problems.

I've neglected to care for you.

Brother...

I moved over to their quarters
so shamelessly.

I ignored the teasing by the pages

and yet he still doesn't want me.

Cousin Yuan Bao really is the only
man I will ever love.

Why doesn't he understand that?

Why doesn't he want me?

He told the servants to move all
of my belongings out of his quarters

and told me to move back to my room.

He doesn't even want me as a concubine...

Qian Qian...

I will never let you feel
so aggrieved again.

Don't worry.

Mister Liu. Miss Qian Qian.

Maids.

- Mister Liu.
- Mister Liu.

- Take your mistress to her room.
- Yes.

Sir.

Everyone is talking about Young Master's

inauguration in three days' time.

Do you have any orders for me?

Ah Gui, I'm sometimes very curious.

When things come up
most people take a step back

but why do you charge forward?

Sir, I've served you for so many years.

I can still make out a bit of
what you have in mind.

There will be a crowd
at the inauguration.

You wish to get rid of Young Master then

and have the chance to take over the
Bureau of Weaponry.

You have to make the best out of it.
