Opening Song: "To Ask the Moon" by Yisa Yu
♫ Fret not that the moon is covered by the clouds ♫
♫ the wind is just showing its affection. ♫
♫ If we say the stars are the ocean of the sky ♫
♫ Then moon is the longing of the waves. ♫
♫ When the clouds scatter ♫
♫ The moon lights up the earth's haze. ♫
♫ The world stops at this moment ♫
♫ and forgets all its wins and losses. ♫
♫ Who has been beguiled by freedom's radiance? ♫
♫ Loving freely then leaving willfully. ♫
♫ Maybe vows are like the ocean ♫
♫ as long as the song stays the same ♫
♫ that is the last worship of a lifetime. ♫
♫ Who is playing the love of the world? ♫
♫ Anyone would want to be drenched in happiness. ♫
♫ To burn up the ashes of night ♫
♫ The wind pushes the clouds aside, and he will follow the sound of the piano home. ♫
Green Hill Fox Legend
Charm Fox Chapter: Heng Niang
Our household's Master is really into his role.
Actually, you should have pretended to be a merchant.
A merchant is great,
they can wear gold silk every day
and even eat fish and meat every day.
But you...insisted on getting into the government.
Now see, you're being sent to the disaster area.
What were you thinking?
Wife, they said that the government is complicated.
I want to gather experience, which might be helpful for the Fox Clan in the future.
With your inflexible character, you would have fallen into other's schemes before you even learned enough.
Then do you have any reminders?
Reminders?
Remember to think about me!
Naturally, I'll miss you.
Don't lie to me!
N-n-never!
You will be all alone out there.
Make sure you take care of yourself, okay?
Don't worry. Don't worry.
What do you mean alone out there?
What do you take me for? Air?
No, you're the sunlight.
If you say I'm the sunlight, I'm the sunlight; if you say I'm air, then I'm air.
Off I go!
Alright, go ahead.
You heartless man.
Leaving me alone here to face that pervert Ninth Duke.
Since you say the Ninth Duke is having thoughts about you,
why don't you pretend to be sick so he'll drop the idea?
Who do you think I am? You think I can't handle this little problem?
You're right, but sometimes you're a little careless
and forget to keep your distance from men.
I'm just like that with you!
Just be careful, be careful.
Oh, right! Don't forget our big plans.
Alright, go already.
Did Liu Changyan really leave?
I saw him leave with my own eyes.
Master Hong, prepare the Spring Tour immediately.
What is it?
I just feel that it's all misty and rainy today, not that suitable for a Spring Tour.
Misty and rainy? Then let's go admire the rain!
You're right! You're right!
What Duke said is right!
Madam, Hong family's second Madam is here to visit.
Madam Liu... ah, no... hello, Sister.
I heard from my husband that Master Liu moved here some days ago.
I should have fulfilled my landlords' obligations early on. I'm late.
Please forgive me.
Nothing of the sort.
The Hong family has fulfilled its landlord's obligations quite fully.
Master Hong and his wife have already visited.
Is that so?
Surely you're not simply here for a visit.
You're absolutely right, Sister. I'm actually here to extend an invitation.
What is it?
I heard from my husband that Ninth Duke is planning a Spring Tour with the Liu and Hong families.
I was wondering if I could accompany you?
This way, we can show off the peaceful relations between the Hong and Liu families,
and may help the careers of both our masters.
What do you think?
I think...
not much of it.
That...
I don't quite understand. You mean...
Ninth Duke clearly invited the main Madams of both the Liu and Hong families.
Then it should be me and the official Hong wife, Zhu Shi, that should go.
What does this have to do with you?
It seems that you still don't understand well.
The Hong family's affairs are now under my care.
First Madam has no real position.
No real position!
Even so,
she is still the main Madam of the house.
To let the dove take over the magpie's nest is your master's mistake.
As for the Spring Tour,
in your position, it is not appropriate for you to go.
This woman has no manners
I'd just be wasting my breath. Perhaps I should cast a spell, see if you can still ignore me.
Sister, I have some things I want to tell you in private.
Alright, come and tell me.
My pardon, Second Madam.
Are you alright?
I'm fine, fine.
Sister, I was just about to say...
Second Madam, I'm really not feeling well today. I'm going to retire and rest now.
- Xiao Lizi, please send our guest out.- Sister. - Yes.
This way, Madam.
Madam! Madam! Master is back.
You're back! I've been waiting a long time!
How did your visit with Madam Liu go?
Ugh, don't mention it.
That Madam Liu has no manners at all.
I asked her nicely but instead she mocked me and sarcastically replied.
Husband, why don't you talk to Ninth Duke again. Prepare some beautiful women for him.
By that time, I can definitely find some sisters to get his attention.
Didn't I tell you already,
Ninth Duke organized this Spring Tour so that he can see Madam Liu.
So stop giving me ideas and don't cause me trouble.
But that Madam Liu doesn't really give importance to Ninth Duke.
What's that got to do with us?
We only need to make sure that Ninth Duke gets to see Madam Liu. Whatever happens to them afterwards has nothing to do with us.
I know it already.
Okay then.
Husband, do you still remember what day today is?
What day is today?
Today is my birthday! Don't you remember that already?
Ying'er, look...I...
Fine already.
Husband being able to come home to be with me,
I'm already content with it.
- What's wrong?- No, we cannot delay this thing anymore. I must hurry and go to her.
Where are you going? Husband, where are you going this late at night?
- Master?- Yeah, where's Madam?
Madam is in the backyard washing clothes.
She's still washing clothes this late?
- You actually allowed her to do a servant's task?- It's all my fault.
- Xiao Cui.- Madam.
- Go and hang the clothes I've washed.- Yes, Madam.
Wife,
we haven't seen each other for several days already but how come you're still dressing so plainly.
You're even worse than a servant.
If you're here for something, just say it.
Then I'll be straightforward.
Ninth Duke wants to invite you and Madam Liu from next door to go on a Spring Tour together.
Ninth Duke is of high position and great power. I want to ask Wife
to help convince Madam Liu.
I know. I'm the one who became cold to you.
I also know that I owe you quite much.
But...
Ninth Duke's power is as vast as the sky.
This Spring Tour thing directly affects my...
future fate in the government.
Can you consider our previous affection and help me out?
Husband's future fate in the government may not have anything to do with me anymore, right?
How can you have nothing to do with it?
After all, you're still the main Madam of the Hong household.
If I get glory or end up with losses, you will, too.
Wife?
Wife!
Then I'll go now.
It's already late so stop sewing anymore handkerchiefs.
It's bad for your eyes.
Husband went to my room last night.
He talked about Ninth Duke wanting to invite you and me together in a Spring Tour.
He wants me to help him invite you.
What does Little Sister think I should do?
Is Sister very worried about him
and hopes that I will agree to the invitation?
I caused Little Sister to laugh at me.
He is still my husband.
I am also still his official wife.
Husband has already said that this thing concerns his career's future. How can I not be worried?
Then...I'll go.
Really? That's great!
Oh, I've already followed Little Sister's advice to dress down.
Do I still have to maintain it?
No.
Sister has already reached the time to change your costume.
Change costume?
On the day of the Spring Tour, Sister must dress up well.
Wear your most expensive jewelry and dress.
I've already helped Sister prepare these.
I will let Xiao Tao bring them to you.
In short, during the Spring Tour,
Sister should make yourself as beautiful as you can be.
No, no. I don't understand.
Husband now already takes pity on me.
If I return to my old looks, won't our previous efforts just go to waste?
Sister, you're wrong.
Everything I asked Sister to do previously is not for Master Hong to take pity on you.
For one to firmly hold a man's heart, you shouldn't just keep on getting on their good side.
If we just rely on pity, how can we let Master Hong
come back to you?
I don't understand.
You'll slowly understand it.
But Sister must remember the words I said. You must dress in a grand way.
Heng'er,
I really would like to see you once again.
This...Daye, how come there's no news yet?
Duke, Master Hong is requesting an audience.
- Hurry and let him in.- Yes.
Daye, how was it?
I am here to bring Duke some good news.
- She agreed?- She agreed without any questions.
Are your words the truth?
Of course.
Say, this Liu Changyan...saying his wife has a bad temper
and will not agree to it.
How come she immediately agreed with my invitation?
Unless this Madam Liu
also likes me?
Who is Ninth Duke?
That's a dragon and a phoenix among men.(Praising someone as being powerful or skilled)
Even if Madam Liu has never seen Ninth Duke,
she definitely has heard of Duke's numerous great achievements.
For Madam Liu to have agreed immediately,
is definitely not due to my wife.
It must be that Duke's charm has left her with great admiration.
- Boot-licker.- Duke is overly praising me.
Men!
- Duke.- Spread my order to immediately make preparations.
Within three days, I and Madam Liu --
and Duchess will go on a trip together.
I'll do as you command.
Daye, you worked hard.
- Your contributions won't go unnoticed.- Thank you, Duke.
- Madam, the dishes are all--- Shh...
What's happening to Madam? Why is she smiling so sweetly?
What do you think?
Oh, Madam is thinking about Master!
How come you two are here?
The two of us have been here awhile.
Didn't Madam notice it?
Why would Madam take notice of us?
Since Master left, Madam's food intake has decreased by more than half.
That's right. Not just food intake. Madam...
doesn't even touch the grapes that she loved the most.
Enough already. I know.
Don't you guys just want to say that I'm missing my husband?
That's right. I indeed am missing him.
I've been thinking about him daily that I can't eat, drink tea, sleep, and am even slowly losing weight. Is that enough?
Our Madam has this trait the best.
With Master being such a serious person, only a frank and straightforward person like our Madam can subdue him.
That's right, that's right. Madam and Master are most compatible.
- Most compatible.- This is what they mean when every object has its weakness (opposite attracts).
Oh my! My tail!
It hurts like hell.
Why did you step on it?
Didn't we swear not to show our true selves in front of others?
If others discover it, it will bring disaster into the fox clan.
Senior Nine-Tail Fox frequently uses a little magic.
Don't you just close one eye and pretend to not see them?
How come you insist on limiting me?
That...is because senior is a nine-tail fox.
In our ancient texts, she's the most supreme.
She naturally won't bring disaster to our fox clan.
As long as she doesn't hurt anyone, then there won't be any big problem.
Then since Senior Nine-Tail Fox can use magic,
how come you made her promise not to use magic in the human world?
Senior has a mischievous character.
It will still be better if we try to limit her.
Clan Chief, how come your face has turned so red?
It's probably because it's hot...
Let me ask you. Do you like Senior Nine-Tail Fox?
Get lost.
Trying to hide it from me?
From what I can see,
the two of you are turning an act into reality.
During the day, sending love messages with your eyebrows, being sweet with each other.
At night, sleeping together on the same bed.
From what I can see, something must have already happened between the two of you.
Stop being unruly. You must not tarnish Senior's clean reputation.
Clan Chief, why are you so angry?
Our clan members have always been individuals who dare to speak their mind and do what they want.
It's either you love her or not. Why are you mentioning clean reputation now?
What's wrong with you?
Why are you talking nonsense? Do you want to get punished?
I was initially sleeping well.
Weren't you the one who stepped on my tail
and woke me up?
Liu Changyan, Liu Changyan.
You must make the fox clan's grand plan your priority.
You must not get lost into romantic relationships.
Especially the fact that she's even your senior.
Madam, are you alright?
I don't know what's wrong with today. I've been sneezing nonstop already.
It doesn't seem to be due to the foundation.
Of course, it's not from that foundation.
Madam sneezing is definitely because Master is thinking about you.
How can that be? There's only the household welfare and people's livelihood or worrying about some big matters for Husband.
He doesn't have time to think of me.
Although Master doesn't know how to say flowery words,
but he is definitely sincere towards Madam.
That's right. And also, one day as a married couple means sharing 100 days (forever) of concern for each other.
Master has left for quite some time already. He will definitely think about Madam.
- Is that right?- Yes.
One day as a married couple means sharing 100 days of concern for each other...
Husband!
Where did he go this early in the morning?
Madam!
- Where's your Master?- Master went out very early this morning.
He went to Ninth Duke's mansion.
- What?- He said that it's for the preparation of the Spring Tour.
Spring Tour?
Then where is First Madam now?
First Madam had also left the mansion earlier.
Went to the Liu Mansion next door.
- Get out!- Yes.
Please.
Duke, the place you've chosen does indeed have an enchanting and charming scenery.
Such a wonderful and beautiful scenery really makes one's heart untroubled and one's spirit pleased.
Duke, you've been used to the Palace's tea.
Why not have a taste of this tea I brought from Jiang Nan...
called Ming Qian Long Jing.
Duke.
What is it?
Master Hong is asking you if you want to drink tea.
Are you sure that Madam Liu will be coming?
Yes, indeed.
They're here. They're here!
Hey, who's that one beside Madam Liu? Why does she look so familiar?
- Hong Zhu Shi greets Your Lordship.- Liu Tao Shi greets Your Lordship.
No need for formalities for both of you. Hurry and rise.
Oh...right, my dear wife. This is the wife of the Ministry of Revenue's assistant minister Master Liu.
Greetings to Ninth Duchess.
The two Madams don't need to be so formal. You guys must have been tired from your travel. Hurry and let's go inside.
Please. My wife, please.
Why are you dressed like that?
I usually do dress like this. Is there any problem?
None.
This is the tea prepared by Master Hong. Have a taste.
Thank you, Duke. I'm not thirsty.
- Then eat some snacks instead.- Right, right, right.
I'm sorry. I don't have the appetite for it.
Madam Liu, you really have an attitude. I like it.
Is that right?
But my husband always say that I have a bad temper and lacks inner substance.
A beautiful lady should have a temper, should be cherished.
No need to pretend to flatter anyone.
Right, my wife?
Husband said it right. Having an attitude is way better.
Oh, right. There's a waterfall right there. The scenery is very beautiful.
How about I accompany Madam Liu to take a look?
Duke, I'm afraid of water since I was a child. Lakes and waterfalls have no fate with me.
I'm afraid I cannot accompany you there.
So you're not going...
There's a waterfall there.
My wife really likes going.
Why must Madam Liu kill everyone's joy?
Wife, right?
Little Sister, since we're here already,
let's just go there and have a look.
Since Sister has already said that, it will be rude for me to destroy everyone's mood.
Let's go.
- Oh right, my dear wife. - Ha?- The wind there is strong. Your body is weak. You just stay here to rest.
This place is really "Among a thousand mountains, a spring flies straight down,
with a thundering roar it enters the river nonstop.
It's now as long as a hundred yard white cloth, one line breaking
the green mountain landscape."
What a good poem! It indeed matches the beautiful scenery.
What does Madam Liu think of it?
It's quite nice
If that bookworm Liu Changyan was here,
I'm sure he could say at least ten poems in one breath.
No, at least a hundred.
Wife, let's go over there.
Mrs. Liu, the view over there is even better.
How about we go over there?
Over there? It's a bit far.
Mrs. Liu, looks like there's something going on between Master Hong and his wife.
How about we leave them alone and give them some space?
What do you think?
-Okay.-Please go this way, Mrs. Liu.
Let's see what you're up to.
Mrs. Liu, this is the famous fragrant grassland beside the capital.
Do you feel like there's a fragrance of grass floating everywhere?
Smell it. Smell it.
Mrs. Liu, it's easier to walk over there.
There's a trap.
-Your Lordship!-Your Lordship!
Duke, are you okay?
-Your Lordship, are you okay?-Are you okay? You Lordship?
It's okay. It's just an accident.
It's just an accident. Excuse me, Mrs. Liu.
It's okay.
Again?
Watch out, Mrs. Liu!
Duke, are you okay?
Duke!
I'm okay. It's just another accident.
Hong Daye!
Hong Daye, Hong Daye.
Say, what were those that you had set-up? What were those?
Causing me to lose face in front of Madam Liu!
Duke...
Duke, please don't be angry.
It's my fault.
I've failed in the task you gave me.
You!
Didn't you say that I'll surely take home the beautiful lady?
I almost lost my life.
I really shouldn't have trusted you.
Duke... Duke...
Actually, I've personally checked each of the traps.
Rationally speaking, there shouldn't have been any problems.
But I don't know why it was you who ended up being hurt each time.
That's right. I also wanted to know why.
How come it was I who ended up getting hurt each time?
And also, when I got hurt, where were you? Where did you go?
Touring with your own wife. Leaving me all alone!
Anyway, I shouldn't have trusted you!
I was wrong. I blew it.
You...
I don't want to see you right now.
- Get lost. Get lost!- I'll get lost now.
If the respected Duke likes a woman,
you could have just asked for her.
Do you really need to do all these things?
What does a woman like you know?
Let me tell you. I sincerely like Madam Liu. How can I use force?
There will come a time
that I will make Madam Liu willingly come to be with me.
Fine then. Then you go make her feel moved!
- So tired.- Let me massage Madam.
Madam, the Ninth Duke sent some vegetarian dishes and fine wine.
The servant said that it was personally prepared for Madam by the Duke himself.
Woah, what exquisite vegetarian dishes!
This Ninth Duke is quite attentive.
He knows that our Madam loves to eat vegetables.
This vegetarian dish is quite delicious.
Then I'll put all the dishes on the table.
No need. You better just put this vegetarian dish back in there.
Does Madam mean to return the vegetarian dishes back to them?
No. Such delicious vegetarian dishes,
I want to offer them to my ancestors.
Ancestral offerings?
Don't people do that at the temple?
Yes. But according to the rules of the Liu Family, ancestral offerings are done in the bedroom.
That's so weird.
Yeah. The Liu Family's rules are indeed weird.
The weather today is not bad.
I know that Wife has never had this much fun for very long time.
How about we go to another place farther some other time
that has beautiful and charming landscapes?
Just us family. No need to entertain Ninth Duke and the others. Then Wife --
Husband, you're tired already from the Spring Tour.
You should go back to Ying'er and rest early.
Actually, I'm not in a rush.
- Xiao Cui.- Madam.
Send Master back to his room to rest.
- Wife...- Master.
- Master knows already.- Please then.
I'll be going now.
Wife, the weather now is more cold and damp.
When you sleep at night, remember to put on more blankets.
Madam, Master earlier wanted to stay.
But why is Madam cold towards Master?
- You saw it, too?- Of course.
Before, Master would just leave Madam alone here.
He didn't even ask about you or visit you.
Today, even his gaze towards Madam is different already.
It's Madam Liu who taught me that.
Madam Liu repeatedly reminded me
to refuse Husband three times before I can allow him to enter my room.
I should not let Husband easily get what he wants.
I must let him
not get what he begs for, not being able to let go of me...
and also missing me.
It's really brilliant.
That's right. I don't really know what kind of person Heng'er is.
Having such deep knowledge. How can we thank her in the future?
Madam, don't celebrate prematurely first.
After all, there's still a troublemaker Madam Ying at Master's side.
Why did she suddenly drastically change?
She's actually becoming more and more beautiful.
Husband.
Husband?
I seem to be acting like when I was young.
I don't even think of drinking or eating anymore.
Husband!
What is it?
Husband, look. Is it pretty?
Pretty.
You didn't even looked at it?
This is something I spent a Iot of effort to obtain!
So is it pretty or not?
Didn't I already say that it was pretty?
Then Husband, do you think this one
or the one I'm wearing is prettier?
A true beauty doesn't need these nonsensical things.
I want peace and quiet tonight (be alone). You go to sleep early.
Did he take the wrong medicine (acting very weird)?
Do you think I'm really willing to amuse you?
If Ninth Duke will like me,
let's see if I will bother with you anymore.
Clan Chief really thinks that he's some upright government official.
Out of all places, he chose the poorest town!
We can't even have decent food.
He's really a big bookworm who swallows ancient learning without digesting them.
Su Xi!
- Come here, come here, come here.- Senior?
Why are you here?
Lower your voice.
Why did you turn into a man?
I'm originally a man after all.
This is more comfortable. Anyway, no one here recognizes me.
Okay then. I'll give this to you.
Let's not talk anymore. Let's just talk once we're inside.
Woah, Senior! I so love you!
I promised you.
I'm missing you already.
I'm thinking about you already.
What am I doing?
I'm thinking about her again.
No way. No way. No way. Where was I?
Really...
It must be a hallucination.
What are you doing?
- You're real?- Could I still be fake?
Clan Chief! We have something good to eat now!
What is that?
Senior brought it.
What is it? You don't want to see me?
No. How is that possible?
These vegetarian dishes are really tasty.
For you, I traveled this far to bring them here
to let you taste them.
Madam is really good.
Why are you here?
How were you able to come here?
How do you think I was able to come here?
This ragged place is more than a thousand miles away from the capital.
So how else can I get here?
Didn't we already make an agreement to not randomly use magic?
If someone finds out that you're not in the mansion, what will we do?
Geez, don't worry.
The magical barrier I set up can never be broken by anyone.
Really.
But I guarantee, after eating this meal, I'll immediately go back.
Fine then. I'll let you off this one time.
I know already. I won't do it again.
Satisfied? Hurry and eat!
- Or else they will all be eaten by this Su Xi!- Okay, okay, okay. I'm eating.
How was it? How was it? Is it delicious?
- Yes, it's really delicious.- I told you so.
Here. If you had wine to accompany it, it would even be more delicious.
Just a little. I'll drink just a little.
I know. Just with this alcohol tolerance of yours...
Last time, after you got drunk...
- Clan Chief, have one more drink.- No, Su Xi.
- I don't drink wine.- I'll drink with you.
- You... - Come, come, come. Madam, you, too.
Come, together.
Come, together, together.
- Here, here, here. - Hey, what's going on with you.
- I...- Madam- Hurry and drink.
I really can only drink a little.
Come, come, come.
Everyone, you guys just do as you like. I'm drinking now.
This rascal's alcohol tolerance is actually quite small.
His fox tail has already appeared.
My tail is cute, right?
- Su Xi, where you going?- Hey, come back. Don't run away.
He just went to vomit.
Let's not mind him. Let's continue.
But if he was seen by others like that, it won't be good.
He's a good kid. Don't be afraid.
Little Clan Chief, did you miss me during these days that you didn't see me?
Se-senior, I...
But I missed you a lot.
Little Clan Chief, you are a liar.
I agreed with you to come to the human world that time
because there was you around to play with me.
I never thought that although you look honest,
but you were actually very cunning.
Going to this far place.
Leaving me in that boring capital city.
And there's also that pervert and boring Ninth Duke.
Giving me a lot of affection and having bad intentions.
What did he do to you? Did you suffer?
Are you anxious now?
Are you worried about me? Are you jealous?
- Senior- You definitely are, right?
I remember since that time in the mountain valley, you should have liked being with me already.
Right?
Bookworm, close your eyes.
Se-senior...
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Gone with the Shirt Team @ Viki
This...
My head hurts.
My waist and back hurts, too.
You are awake already.
Last night, we seemed to have...
What's there to be nervous about?
Why are you like a common human being shy like that?
Since we are from the fox clan, let's top using human practices when talking to each other.
Okay then. I also need to go now.
Just stay here and do your work well.
Take good care of yourself. Okay?
What did I really do last night?
No way. No way. No way. Definitely no way!
Definitely no way that I initiated it.
How can that be?
No. Definitely, definitely it's him. Losing control after getting drunk.
He's the one who took advantage of me first. Or else, how is it possible that I touched a bookworm like him?
No way. I definitely couldn't have touched him.
Surely it was him. Definitely it's him. Definitely it's him.
Ah! I'm so angry!
So fragrant, the smell of roasting meat.
My tail!
Help!
Tail!
Help!
Clan Chief! Clan Chief! My tail is on fire!
Hurry and bring me some water!
Clan Chief!
Such a big fire and you can't see it?!
My tail!
Wife, even if you don't want to see me,
I will still come to see you.
If I'm still unable to see you, I'm going to go insane already.
Can you really bear to?
Can you really bear...
Wife! Wife!
Master.
Where's Madam?
Madam has gone out early this morning.
Gone out? Where to?
I heard from Xiao Hong that Madam and Madam Liu went to the temple in the capital outskirts together.
Temple in the capital outskirts?
Temple in the capital outskirts...
Husband recently has been treating me warmly and tenderly.
And he keeps sending interesting things into my room.
It's like we're back to that time when I first married him.
Little Sister, say, what should I do next?
Little Sister.
Sister, what were you saying?
I can see that your cheeks are red. Are you feeling unwell?
Are they?
Maybe it's because the weather's too hot.
Oh, you said earlier that Master Hong has taken the initiative to show his liking for you.
Husband, recently, frequently comes to my room.
Since Ying'er entered our household, it's already been long ago since Husband went into my room.
Then Sister, did you let Master Hong stay for the night?
Of course never.
I followed Little Sister's advice to always keep him out of my room.
But Little Sister,
should I continue keeping him out of my room?
Starting today, Sister can let Master Hong stay for the night.
But, you still must not let him do as he wants.
Sister should still have the last word.
You must reject him many times before you can agree. You must make him beg for it.
I must reject him many times to make him beg for it,
to make him feel that it's okay but not okay,
not okay but okay.
He must become like how Sister longed for him before.
I understand it now.
You must let Master Hong exert more thoughts to woo you.
This way, Master Hong's heart can return to Sister more quickly.
Really?
Did I ever lie to you?
Actually, I don't expect for Husband to be deeply worried about me and to think about me all the time already.
I just hope that he can treasure our relationship as husband and wife.
He definitely will.
Wait for me for a while. I'll just put on some fragrant oil. Let's go home together.
Okay.
Looks like, it won't be long until the day that this couple will reconcile.
I might also be going back to Green Hill already.
- There's really such a beauty in this world!- Look, Sister.
Your beauty has always been of high quality.
Even these strangers can't stop looking at you.
Why must you be unduly humble?
Could it be that you also feel that you are inferior to a concubine?
It's all due to Little Sister that I can recover the glory of my previous years.
Thank you, Little Sister.
Madam Liu.
You... Why did you go out wearing such eye-catching clothes?
I came here to fulfill my vow (in exchange for a wish). Of course, I need to wear something decent.
And also, I usually dress like this.
Is there anything wrong with it?
Wife is here to fulfill a vow. What kind of wish did you make before?
This is a secret between me and Buddha. Of course, I cannot tell you.
Wife, you used to willingly tell me
everything, big or small, before. But now, are you not willing to tell them to me anymore?
Husband is overthinking.
Little Sister, the sun is already out.
How about we walk back instead?
Okay, let's walk back home.
Let's go.
- Hey, Wife.- Why are they leaving already?
What's there good to look at? Stop looking already.
That's my wife. How dare you guys look at her?
Get lost!
Wife!
Does Duchess have anything to command me and that's why you asked for me today?
Madam,
look at the flowers here in the garden.
They have blossomed so beautifully.
Then that's all thanks to the Duchess' meticulous care
for this garden to able to have such a grand scenery.
But, regardless of how beautiful these flowers are,
they can't compare to the fragrance of the wild flower outside.
Even if the wild flower is more fragrant,
it's still just temporary freshness.
It can't enter the Duke's Residence.
Why should Duchess waste energy on these wild things?
You're quite quick-witted.
Fine then.
Actually, I asked you to come today
because I do have something to ask you.
Duchess, I will definitely tell you everything I know.
I heard that your house's First Madam is very close to that Madam Liu.
That is indeed true.
Then do you know anything about that Madam Liu?
This Madam Liu is usually high and mighty.
She doesn't like to pay attention to others. I did have encounters with her
but we are not close.
But...
there are some rumors from the streets concerning that Tao Heng.
Don't know if Duchess is interested?
Rumors?
What rumors?
These rumors are not quite nice to hear.
Let's not dirty Duchess' ears.
Say it.
This Madam Liu normally
looks like a wife that manages one's household.
High and mighty, doesn't like to socialize with others.
But I heard that privately,
she's seducing men left and right.
Good.
I've known early on that she's a no good (decent) person.
She really is a bewitching vixen.
Duchess, did Madam Liu wrong you?
It's the Duke!
I don't know what bewitching soup she gave the Duke.
The Duke has been yearning for her day and night.
She even dared to seduce the Duke?
Then isn't that giving no importance to Duchess?
But...
If Duchess is worried about it,
I am willing to suggest a plan.
You have an idea?
Little Sister not only can teach Sister the technique to bewitch your man and make him stay happy.
I can also help Duchess
to get the Duke's heart back.
Let the Duke pay attention only to Duchess.
As long as Sister is willing to let me meet the Duke,
I will
listen to all of Sister's commands.
What does Sister think of my plan?
Okay.
I will follow everything you said.
Then, Duchess, you should quickly prepare for it.
Okay.
Master Liu,
although these affected citizens have been hungry for several days already,
don't worry. We have already imported some food from Jiang Nan.
I agreed to come to the human world with you that time because you would be there to play with me.
I never thought that although you look honest,
you are actually a liar.
Did you think of me during these days that you didn't see me?
But I missed you a lot.
No. No. No.
Master Liu. Master Liu.
No way. No way.
Master Liu.
You were talking about opening the food warehouse and distributing the food earlier, right?
- Okay. Okay.- Right. Right. Right.
Master Liu, seeing that you're a little absent-minded now, you must be tired from your travel and haven't had a good rest.
Tonight, I prepared a feast at Cui Hua Restaurant.
I hope Master Liu can do the honor of attending and relax.
Master Liu, what do you think?
- Cui Hua Restaurant?- Yes.
That Cui Hua Restaurant's songs are famous throughout here.
Yeah.
Song?
That's good, too. I can understand local conditions and popular customs with that.
Then tonight, I will be waiting at Cui Hua Restaurant for Minister then.
Then we must make sure to get drunk with Master Liu tonight.
What am I doing?
Why do I keep thinking about that bookworm?
Tao Heng, play Go seriously.
What nonsense are you thinking?
