[Perfect Couple]

Episode Thirty-Seven

Master... Ten years ago
you saved my life.

These ten years of happiness

were given to me by you
in the first place.

I now hand my life over to you.

I have no regrets.

It's just that... I can no longer
share your burden.

I'll return to my room right now

and end my life at an appropriate time.

I won't implicate you.

If you don't believe me
you can take my life right here.

I won't say too much.

But I will take good care
of your family.

Thank you, Sir.

Do one last thing for me.

Please give me the order.

Sir, he's left the Manor.

Ma Zhong, gather our men.

- He might make a move.
- Yes!

- Wang Qiang, come here.
- Yes!

Madam.

Don't hate me.

Sorry about this.

I'm sorry. We've come late.

- It's all right.
- You've suffered.

Move!

Move it!

Hurry up!

Sir, we're done with the search.

There's just one culprit so you can
decide if you want him in jail or...

This is the mole in the Manor
so we should take him back with us.

- Yes.
- Yes.

Take him away.

Here, I'll take you home to Qi Ling.

Home?

I'm an ignorant peasant woman.

I can't go to your Manor.

What if... What if I speak too rudely
and offend Madam Jin?

No... Young Master, you should just
get me a room in an inn.

I'll wait for Qi Ling to come
and see me over there.

Please don't be so polite in the future.

Just call me Yuan Bao.

- I...
- All right now.

Qi Ling is your daughter
but also my wife.

That makes you my mother-in-law.

That's why you should call me Yuan Bao
just like Qi Ling does.

Just stay at my place with Qi Ling.

You're my mother-in-law.

I couldn't possibly let you
stay out here alone.

No matter what others may say

even my mother would agree I
didn't respect you enough.

No... This won't do...

This appearance of mine...

can't be seen by anyone.

How is that so?

Qi Ling married into my family
from such a faraway place.

Wouldn't you like to see how she is
doing in Jin Manor?

Aren't you afraid that I'll bully her?

I...

All right, Qi Ling is still waiting
for us at home.

Let's go home.

Let's go.

Here.

Hurry up!

Young Master!

Young Master! Young Master!

You're home!

Here.

This is our home.

Qi Ling will be thrilled to see you.

- Let's go.
- I...

Here. Ah Fu! Inform Young Mistress
that her mother is here!

Yes!

Young Mistress!

Slowly.

Young Master!

[General's Manor]

Young Mistress!

Young Master has found your mother!

Mother!

- Mother!
- Ling Er!

Mother!

Mother, I've missed you so much!

Mother, I've finally found you!

I was so scared.

It's my fault.

It's all my fault.

It's all because I made
such a huge mistake

and therefore you're implicated.

I've made you so worried.

It's fine now that I've been found.

You can put your mind at ease.

My silly child, this is actually
a blessing in disguise.

I wouldn't have any regrets even if I
died now that I can see you and Yuan Bao.

Jin Yuan Bao...

Do you know that...

What should I know?

Tell me. I'm listening.

She is my mother.

She's raised me as her own
for so many years.

Without her, I wouldn't be me.

She is my mother.

She is also your mother.

So... Shouldn't you address
her as Mother as well?

Can you also address her as Mother?

Silly girl.

I'm definitely aware of that principle.

Who studied more, you or me?

Yet you're putting yourself
in my position. Right, Mother?

Am I right, Mother?

Yes, Yuan Bao is right.

Yuan Bao is right.

You're both right.

All right, I won't keep you from
catching up with one another.

I'll take my leave now.

I'll drop by later, all right?

Ah Fu takes his leave.

Come with me.

Qi Ling, are you happy here?

Be honest with me.

Are you happy here?

Mother, I'm doing very well here.

Jin Yuan Bao treats me very well

and he takes my side.

I'm really happy to be with him.

Then... What about Madam Jin?

Does she like you?

Mother, I'm married to Jin Yuan Bao
not Madam Jin.

Why does it matter if
she likes me or not?

You're saying such nonsense.

She is now your mother-in-law.

You should be filial and
respectful to her.

Moreover, she is Yuan Bao's mother.

You are Yuan Bao's mother.

I might be the one who gave birth to him
but I didn't raise him.

That's because Yuan Bao was taken
away from you by force!

Madam Jin might have done wrong

but she is completely devoted
to Yuan Bao.

We can't ignore the fact that she did
raise Yuan Bao as her own.

What about the gratitude he should
have for you for giving birth to him?

Should that be completely ignored?

Mother, why can't you reunite with him?

Yuan Bao is so affectionate to you.

He likes you so much.

He's also acknowledged me
as Mother today.

I even heard him address me as Mother.

I'm truly satisfied.

All right now, this is great.

We're a family.

Now that the family is together

I'm really happy.

Why should we dig up the past
and stir up trouble?

Don't do that.
I'm already very satisfied.

I'm really satisfied that
our family can be together.

Mother...

Yuan Bao.

How are you? Have you
finished chatting?

Why don't you wash up and
come meet my mother?

No... Don't bother.

I'm already satisfied
to see you and Qi Ling.

A respectable lady like Madam Jin
must be very busy.

Why should I take up her time?

I won't go and meet her.

That won't do.

You're my mother-in-law as well as
my mother's in-law.

If I don't make the
appropriate arrangements

my mother will make me kneel
as a punishment.

I'd better not meet her.

Mother, I'll go with you.

You should meet Madam Jin.

- You should meet her.
- No...

No, I.... Really, I...

I won't disturb her.

- I really shouldn't disturb her.
- Mother...

He's found her?

Yuan Bao's brought Young Mistress'
mother back to the Manor?

My Lady, Young Master is bringing
Young Mistress' mother to greet you.

All right, I heard you. You are dismissed.

Yes.

My Lady, don't panic.

You mustn't panic.

We'll roll with the punches.

Xiao Cui... Did you hear that?

Wang Hui Lan came straight to our
Manor right after she was rescued.

And... it was Yuan Bao
who brought her back home.

Yes, who knew that she'd come back
here just like that

and that she'd be here under
such circumstances.

That year, I brought Yuan Bao
back to my chamber.

The more I looked at him
the more I loved him.

I had him in my arms and
I wouldn't let let him go.

I was afraid that it was but a dream.

For months, I had had nightmares of
Wang Hui Lan barging back in

and snatching Yuan Bao away from me.

For years and years, whenever the
doorman reported that

there were women who asked to
meet me at the Manor

I was so petrified.

My Lady...

As time went by and Wang Hui Lan
disappeared, never to be seen again.

I finally felt relieved.

I thought Yuan Bao was
finally my son.

Who knew that 20 years later

after Yuan Bao was married

we'd find out that Yuan Bao's married
Wang Hui Lan's adopted daughter?

My Lady, don't be discouraged.

Isn't this God's will?

It's God's will...

My Lady, Yuan Bao is very filial to you.

We can all see that.

Xiao Cui, should Yuan Bao learn that
I'm not really his mother

and Wang Hui Lan tells him
that she is his biological mother

and I am no more than a woman
who snatched him from her arms

would Yuan Bao hate me?

Do you think that they are waiting
for me in the hall now

to question me and reprimand me?

No... That won't happen.

Yuan Bao is a very sensible child.

Moreover, the love and care you
have given him for 20 years

can't be forfeited just because
of a few words.

Let's go.

The blow will strike me no matter what.

Just like what you've just said

we'll roll with the punches.

We'll go and meet Wang Hui Lan.

Mother-in-law, look!
This is now Qi Ling's home.

This is also your home.

So you should feel more at ease here.

Yes, it's been so many years yet
nothing has changed at all.

What? You've been to Jin Manor?

I... No...

I heard it from Qi Ling about the Manor.

Come on.

Auntie, Young Master, Young Mistress
and her foster mother will be here soon.

She really is coming over.

Auntie Gu, did you know Young
Mistress' foster mother?

The good old saying of 'relationships
in this life are a result of karma

in the previous one' is quite true.

This way.

Mother, my mother-in-law is here.

Madam Jin, peasant woman Mrs. Yu
is here to greet you.

Please don't stand on ceremony, in-law.

It's all...

We're a family.

Please have a seat.

This way, Mother-in-law.

Please have a seat.

Thank you for bestowing a seat
to me, My Lady.

Mother, don't be scared.

Hasn't Yuan Bao just said
that this is also your home.

Yes, Young Master is always
very well-mannered.

He must be used to addressing
you as his mother?

Although it's said that the son-in-law
is half a son

Yuan Bao addresses me as Mother
because he is brought up well.

But I know that I am of a lowly status

and I wouldn't dare to claim ties
of a higher class.

I believe that Qi Ling and
Yuan Bao's marriage

must have brought you much trouble.

I beg for your pardon.

Mother, what has it got to do with
claiming any ties?

I'm now married to Yuan Bao

so you're also his mother.

Yes, relationships are usually
decided by God's will.

There aren't any differences in class.

The relationship between Young Master
and Young Mistress seems to be destined.

It can't be helped, right?

Mother-in-law, stop saying that
we are out of your league.

Otherwise, my mother will give me
a good lecturing later on.

Qi Ling and I are destined to
be the 'Perfect Couple.'

I hope that it is as Yuan Bao just said.

They are destined to be a 'Perfect
Couple' instead of an ill-fated one.

You have just arrived at our Manor

so you might not be aware of
the things here in the Manor.

If you have anything to say or do

there's no rush to do it right away.

Have a good rest first.

As for the marriage between
the two children

I apologize for not having asked
for your consent.

Now that we are in-laws

you can spend some time thinking
about any requests that you have.

Then you can tell me directly.

For the sake of Yuan Bao

I'll do my best to meet your needs.

As long as... it will be
beneficial to Yuan Bao.

Madam Jin, this never was my intention
to come to the Capital this time.

It was because of a sudden incident.

My daughter, Qi Ling has committed a huge
crime by marrying in someone's stead.

Not only did you not blame her

you also accepted her.

I am truly grateful.

I really hope that you can forgive me.

It's good that you're so understanding.

Like I've just said

we do share one thing in common.

This is all for the sake of Yuan Bao.

All right, the both of you can stop
being so polite to each other.

It's great now that our family
is all reunited here.

But it was such a close shave
for my mother-in-law.

She was almost...

Let's not talk about anything unpleasant.

Yes, indeed. It was very dangerous.

Fortunately, Young Master came
to my rescue.

Mother, it is absolutely right that
Yuan Bao rescued you.

You don't have to thank him.

How could I not thank him?

I owe him deep gratitude
for saving my life.

Madam Jin, you've brought Yuan Bao
up so well.

I am truly grateful.

By the way, Mother
my mother-in-law is already tired.

Why don't Qi Ling and I take her back
to her room to have a rest

and then we can welcome her with
dinner later? Does that sound good?

Sure!

What's the rush?

Young Mistress' foster mother
has come from afar.

Why doesn't she stay to chat a bit
more with Madam Jin?

Young Master Liu, thank you for
your hospitality.

We still have more days to come.

I will retire to my room today.

My Lady.

Have a good rest.

Mother-in-law, this way, please.

Fortunately, Mrs. Yu is very sensible.

She didn't reveal a word.

Yes, I really have to thank the gods
as well as her for letting me off.

Otherwise, I don't know what trouble
might be brewing.

But she's staying here in Jin Manor.

She might not say a word about it
today but what about tomorrow?

What about the day after tomorrow?

You're scared but I'm even more
frightened than you are.

You're nervous but I'm even more
nervous than you are.

I tremble with fear seeing how
close she is to Yuan Bao.

I'm really scared she might suddenly
change her mind and blurt it all out.

Having her alive is a risk itself.

As long as she's alive then one day

it's possible she might
reveal the truth.

Why don't we...

I couldn't bear to do it then
so how could I do it now?

After all, she is Yuan Bao's
biological mother.

But are you just going to keep waiting?

I think judging from
what she said today

she seems to be keeping the secret.

She isn't here to take my son
away from me.

But what does she really think?

I'd only know for sure when
we get to talk in private.

At such a crucial time, I can't be meek
and sit around doing nothing.

My Lady, you plan to see her in private?

I have to. For 20 years, I've been
scared that Wang Hui Lan would show up.

Now that she is already here

what good will it do
if I am so frightened?

I can only give it my all
for the sake of Yuan Bao.

Everything that you've done for the
past 20 years is for Young Master.

Go and invite her over.

Yes, I'll do that right away.

Mister Liu, I'll have him imprisoned
in the jail now.

Keep a close eye on him.

Make sure that nothing goes wrong.

Yes!

Move!

Wang Hui Lan.

Wang Hui Lan died 20 years ago.

Wang Hui Lan no longer exists
in this world.

I'm a peasant woman from the
mountains, by the last name Yu.

It's been 20 years and neither of
us is young anymore.

There's no need to beat around the bush.

Let's not waste any time.

Go on and tell me what motive
and requests you have.

I have neither a motive
nor any requests.

You chose not to expose my secret because
you think the game is in your hands.

There's no rush for you.

Do you plan to torment me slowly?

Or do you think that as more time goes by

you can leave me hanging and then
ask for better benefits?

Madam Jin, my son is the most precious
thing in my entire life.

He's more important than my life.

How would I bear to use him
to make any requests?

I know that Jin Family
is extremely wealthy.

But all of this is just worldly
possessions to me.

All in all, you still refuse
to let him go.

You still intend to be reunited with him.

My Lady, please don't be worried.

I promise never to reveal the secret
of his birth to Yuan Bao.

I will never claim him as my son.

You made such a huge effort to get
Yu Qi Ling to marry into our family.

Didn't you do that
to claim your son back?

But now you're telling me that
you don't want Yuan Bao back.

How could I possibly believe you?

Qi Ling came here to look for
Yuan Bao.

That was her idea.

If I had known in advance

I'd never have allowed her
to take such a risk.

My Lady, do you know that

Qi Ling and Yuan Bao are
the same to me?

They are both my children.

They are both my dearest.

For the past 20 years, you must
have missed your son every day?

Now your son is right before your eyes

but you won't claim him.
Can you bear to not do that?

What else could I do even if
I couldn't bear to do so?

The pain of losing my child
for 20 years...

I've already put up with it for so long.

The pain has already seeped through my
bones and gone deep into my blood.

It has now become a part of me.

I've accepted it and now
I no longer feel the pain anymore.

Since the moment I saw him

I saw he has grown up to be
so outstanding

and I found closure right then.

I'm truly grateful to you for
bringing up my Yuan Bao so well.

I feel really comforted.

Moreover, he and Qi Ling are
truly in love with one another.

They both have each other to
rely on in their lives.

I'm already very satisfied with that.

I think that you were right
about something.

You said that no matter what

we have something in common.

You and I both have Yuan Bao's best
interests at heart, right?

So many years have gone by

you must have hated and resented me.

I hated you and I resented you.

But it's been 20 years now, My Lady.

Such hatred and resentment have
evolved into yearning for my son.

When I first met Yuan Bao

all my hatred disappeared.

I am grateful to you from the very
bottom of my heart.

Even if he had stayed by my side

I wouldn't have wanted anything more.

My Lady, I have a very small wish.

Could you grant me this wish?

What is it?

Can you allow me to stay in
the Manor for a couple of days?

Now that I've met with Yuan Bao

I'd like to get a good look at him

so that I can remember him
vividly in my mind

and my heart. Then I'll take my leave.

I'll go back to E-Mei Mountain.

I swear never to come to
the Capital again.

Wang Hui Lan, there are no secrets
that can stay hidden forever.

There are too many people here
at Jin Manor for you to stay so long.

Didn't you say so yourself?

Young Master is very blissful now.

Why don't you...

All right, I'll agree to that.

Madam Jin...

But you have to remember what
you have just said.

Stay true to your words.

Please rest assured that...

Mother!

Mother.

Mother-in-law? You're here as well?

How are you? Are you getting
used to staying here?

Yes, Young Master. All is well.

Don't be so polite.

Don't call me Young Master.

Just call me Yuan Bao from now on.

If you're not used to anything
in the Manor

please feel free to ask the servants
for help or come to me.

Don't put up with it
by yourself, all right?

I'm really all right with everything.
Thank you, Young Master.

That's good.

Mother?

Do you not feel well?

Why are your shoulders so stiff?

My son is so filial.

I'm all right.

Mother-in-law, please feel at ease
to stay here with us.

Don't think about those
unpleasant events.

I've already arrested all those
corrupted servants.

I'll definitely seek justice for you.

Does she think that sending you
gifts can make up

for the pain you've suffered
for the past 20 years?

This is just a kind gesture from Madam Jin.

If she hadn't been so loving to Yuan Bao

and that I don't want
Yuan Bao to be upset

I'd really like to return
all these gifts back to her.

Silly child.

Greetings to Madam Yu.
Greetings to Young Mistress.

Madam Jin was having this sweet soup
when she realized it is beneficial

to the health of elderly people.

She's told me to bring you some.

All right, leave it there.

I said, leave it there.

You are dismissed.

Madam Jin said that it's better
to have this soup while it's hot.

Sure, I'll have it while it's hot.

Please thank Madam Jin on my behalf.

I've already tasted it. Thank you.

Keep a closer eye on Yu Qi Ling
and Mrs. Yu.

If anything is in doubt

report back to me.

Yes, My Lady.

My Lady, the silk for this season
has just been sent to the Manor.

Would you like to take a look?

It's fine.

Why don't you send some over to
Mrs. Yu to make new clothes

as well as take a look at
what's going on over there?

Sure.

I will never get a moment's peace
as long as she's here in the Manor.

All right, I'll get that done right away.

Qi Ling, it's already been
so many years now.

It really doesn't bother me anymore.

I hope that you won't keep this
on your mind at all times.

After all, she is your mother-in-law.

I think that as long as you're fine

and Yuan Bao is fine

I have no regrets.

Mother, you're kind and always
so considerate of others.

I'll heed your advice.

It's good that you'll listen to me.

What's the matter, Mother?

Are you not feeling well?

Suddenly... my heart is cramping up...

- I'm really in a lot of pain...
- Mother!

Anyone there?

Help!

- Young Mistress!
- What's happened?

- Get Physician Gu now! Hurry!
- Yes!

Why is Madam Yu so ill?

I was chatting with my mother.

Everything was normal.

But she suddenly found it hard to
breathe and her heart hurt.

Examine her and let me know
what is wrong with her.

Her pulse is weak and erratic.

Judging from her pulse, she might
have upset her stomach.

Upset her stomach?

What's happened?

What's happened to Mother?

Chang Feng said that my mother
has upset her stomach.

Upset her stomach?

Jiao Yan, haven't you been
serving Mother well?

Madam Yu had the same food as
Young Master and Young Mistress.

- But you're both fine...
- How dare you talk back!

Do you think that you're so good now?

Go out and reflect on yourself!

Yes...

You as well!

Chang Feng, my mother-in-law seems
to be in a lot of pain.

Come up with a solution!

All right. This is an emetic.
(drink to induce vomiting)

Dissolve it in water
and feed it to Madam Yu.

She will vomit the contents of her
stomach out in 15 minutes.

I need to see the contents of her
vomit to decide her treatment.

Don't keep talking. Get
going with the treatment!

Go on!

What wrong have you both done?

Why were you punished to kneel here?

Madam Yu is ill. It's said that
she's upset her stomach.

Young Master blames us for not having
served her well...

But Young Master and Young Mistress
had the same food as Madam Yu.

They are both fine.

Where is Young Master now?

Young Master is very worried
about Madam Yu.

He's been by her side all this time.

How is it? Do you feel like throwing up?

- Throw up if you want to.
- Mother...

How are you feeling?

What is going on?

It's all right. This is normal.

- This is weird.
- What's weird about it?

Judging by the color and the smell
of the vomit

Madam Yu doesn't seem to have
an upset stomach.

It's more likely that she was poisoned.

- Poisoned?
- Poisoned?

What poison is it?

Chang Feng, have you got it wrong?

How could anyone in Jin Manor dare to
poison my mother-in-law?

I won't get this wrong.

It seems to be from Oleander.

What happens if someone is
poisoned by Oleander?

They will vomit, become unconscious

and disoriented. If it is severe
they might also die from it.

My mother just had some sweet soup.

Someone must have poisoned it!

- Qi Ling! Where are you going?
- Yuan Bao...

Yuan Bao...

It hurts so much...

Qi Ling!

Qi Ling!

What's wrong? Why are you so angry?

My mother had some sweet soup
and is now poisoned.

Madam Jin ordered her maid to
bring sweet soup over.

I have to ask her what poison
she put in it.

Hold on!

Don't act so impulsively.

You're too angry right now.

If you accuse her so recklessly
how will you settle this?

I have to ask her to find out if
this accusation is false.

But she is rather occupied now.
Ah Gui...

What's the matter with Ah Gui?

You don't know about it yet?

Young Master saved Mrs. Yu from
the clutches of Ah Gui.

If Young Master hadn't got there in time

he would have killed her.

Your mother is really lucky.

Why would Ah Gui want to kill my mother?

How is that possible?

Isn't he the chief bodyguard
of Madam Jin?

Yes, he's served Madam Jin for years.

But I can ensure you

this definitely has nothing
to do with Madam Jin.

Ah Gui did it on his own.

I'll go to talk to Yuan Bao.

Don't do that yet.

Since Ah Gui has something to
do with this matter

I'll get Yuan Bao to interrogate Ah Gui
and the truth will be revealed.

Mother!

Mother has fallen asleep.

Where did you urgently run off to?

Mother threw up a few more times.

She has thrown up everything
in her stomach.

Chang Feng said luckily Mother didn't eat
much. She isn't severely poisoned.

He's prescribed some medication.
She'll be fine after taking it.

- Don't worry.
- How could I not be worried?

She is poisoned right before my eyes
here in Jin Manor.

And I just heard that it's Ah Gui
who wanted to harm my mother.

He's your mother's chief bodyguard.

Why haven't you told me about this?

Why haven't you interrogated him?

I want to imprison him in
the dungeons first

to torment him for a few days.

That will make him likely to
confess.

I want you to interrogate him now.
I'll do it with you.

I can't wait another minute!

If I don't find out who is the true culprit
my mother will still be in danger.

I planned to interrogate him today
who knew Mother would be ill?

She's not ill! She was poisoned!

Yuan Bao, if you really
find out who the culprit is

you can't bend the law
because of personal reasons.

- You must seek justice for my mother!
- Yes, yes.

That is for certain.

She is also your mother.

I know that.

Stop.

Ah Gui, you've been in Jin Manor
for many years now.

I didn't know you were so ambitious
and had such capability.

Speak up! Why did you
try to harm my mother-in-law?

I won't say a word.

I will never reveal a word.

You refuse to talk?

Fine!

I'll lock you in here for decades

and then I'll interrogate you
when I feel like it.

Don't!

Young Master, I don't want
to be in here forever.

Confess everything if you don't
want to be in here forever.

Tell me who gave you the orders and

the reason for wanting
to murder my mother-in-law?

Young Master, it isn't that I don't
wish to tell you the truth.

I'll die if I tell you but
I'll be killed if I don't.

I beg you to kill me now!

You want to end your life now?

It isn't that simple.

I'll lock you in here all day

and feed you to those rats
flies and bugs.

- I'll torture you slowly.
- Don't...

Don't! Please don't!

You'd better start talking now.

Don't waste my time.

Young Master, it isn't that
I haven't come clean with you.

But I dare not do it.

Even if you know who is behind all this
you can't do anything about it!

What a load of rubbish!

Do you think we are so
easily frightened?

Speak up now!

It's best I don't say a word.

It won't do anyone any good
if I tell you the truth.

Ah Gui, Jin Family has treated you well.

I believe that whoever could bribe
our chief bodyguard

must be someone of a high status.

If you reveal someone important

I could give you a lighter sentence.

Because you can't go against my orders.

If you refuse to talk

don't blame me for being harsh with you.

Hurry up and tell us.

Who exactly is it that
wanted to harm my mother?

The person who gave me the orders is...

Madam Jin.
