Sis Runzhi, what are we eating this morning?
I haven't asked them to cook yet. What would you like to eat?
Well...
You still have an appetite to eat?
Ah...
Ghost.
What ghost? Is a ghost be as beautiful as me?
You're everywhere.
Everywhere.
Ghost.
You're cursing me so early in the morning?
Who has the nerve to curse you?
Have you had breakfast yet? Join us if you haven't.
How can you still eat breakfast?
Why can't she eat breakfast?
Right.
I heard that Su Dongpo stayed at Lumin Club last night. He didn't come home.
I know. He told me beforehand.
Anyway he promised me that
he'll only go to a nightclub twice a month.
He went on the 1st day and the 14th day this month.
Last night was the 30th.
In other words he's been three times this month.
That's one time more than agreed. You must exercise your authority over trim.
This month he went three times Next month it'll be six times. Then nine.
Then he'll be going every night.
Who's gossiping so early in the morning? I hear Liu Yue'e's voice.
Honey, have you eaten breakfast yet?
Liu Yue'e, why have you come here so early in the morning?
Fat Po, you just married Runzhi. Your bad habit is back already?
You're patronizing prostitutes every day?
Mrs. Chen, this is a family matter. They know what they're doing.
Right.
Miss Damei, you're getting married soon. Heed my advice.
If a woman isn't jealous,
I really wonder how much she loves her husband.
And you. You may want to get married too. But don't be like your sister-in-law.
She promised her husband everything before she married him.
Now she can't complain. She even has to pretend to be virtuous.
Enough, Yue'e. I'm really fine.
You hear that, Liu Yue'e?
This is an agreement between me and my wife.
As an outsider, you are not entitled to make any comments about it.
You think I want to make comments? I'm just speaking for my good friend.
Liu Yue'e, you're lucky today. I didn't sleep last night.
That's why I'm not in the mood to argue with you now.
Otherwise I'd really smack you. Honey, I'll go get some rest in the bedroom.
You came so early to pick a fight
Don't ask why it you get killed by a falling vase on the street.
Why didn't he sleep last night?
Maybe he recited poems and composed verses all night.
But if you want to think otherwise, I really can't stop you from doing so.
My dear friend, take care.
I know I promised him that
he could go anywhere and do anything after eating breakfast.
It shouldn't bother me now. That's right. But what if he really goes there again?
Mrs. Su, where are you talking about?
Right. Why go there? What's so good about Lumin Club?
Mrs. Su.
I know I'm Mrs. Su.
Honey will always keep me company, right? But...
But what?
Ah...
Why do your legs fail you when you see me? Are you that scared of me?
No.
Be careful. It hurts me to see you fall.
OK. Chun Xue, sweep the ﬂoor or someone may slip.
OK.
Wormwood herb all over the ground; reed shoots are short
Sorry, sir. I will clear all the leaves.
I'm not reproaching you.
He was telling me to prepare dinner
The second line is "Tis the season for puffer fish now".
Your literary knowledge is improving.
But it's not the season of puffer fish yet.
Really?
OK. I'll cook you then...
You're spending so much time picking a turnip.
You don't need to be so good to him. Is it worth the effort?
You're acting like nothing happened?
When he told me this morning that he wanted to have puffer fish soup,
I felt like our relationship hadn't changed at all.
If you make me pursue this, I'm afraid our relationship will really change.
Change? It should have changed long ago. Fat Po bullies you all the time.
Actually you don't need to win in everything.
It's not worth ruining our relationship. It's not worth it to be so calculating.
Boss, how much?
Two copper coins please.
OK. Chun Xue.
Yes, Mrs. Su.
My good friend.
Yes?
Why do I feel like you were mocking me just now?
I was just telling you my own feelings.
A wife should be prepared for her husband to see other women.
My Jichang would never do that.
He'd never have the guts to go to Lumin Club.
Shall I teach you some tricks?
No, thanks.
They work. You see how obedient my husband is.
Right. He would never disagree with Mrs. Chen.
Right.
Then you don't need to use a cane.
Sometimes I need to teach him like a kid.
Fat Po loves Su Mai so much. He still hits him sometimes.
Getting along with one's husband is different from teaching one's son.
You want him to listen to you.
But now you listen to everything Fat Po says.
I know you care about me. But I'm a simple person.
As long as my husband comes home for dinner every day, I'll be content.
I really can't help you.
Let's go. The puffer fish will be sold out soon.
Sis Damei, Sis Runzhi has prepared a lot of food tonight. Guess what it is?
Master Chen has come for dinner. It must be vegetarian food.
Of course there's vegetarian food. But my husband will eat by himself.
That's because your Sis Runzhi is making puffer fish tonight.
Oh, Miss Damei, how are you and Master Wang?
He's busy preparing for the Imperial Exam.
He's so clever. I'm sure he'll pass. He'll marry you very soon. Right?
Right. Very soon. You'll marry very soon.
I hope so.
When you have a baby, you must ask my husband to check his birth details.
It's not up to me. Besides, the Wangs don't believe in these sorts of things.
They don't? Who made Runzhi drink the charm water last time?
Don't mention that again. I want to puke just thinking about it.
Mrs. Chen is really good at ruining the mood.
Right. I did it on purpose.
I get to eat more if you lose your appetite
Mrs. Su, when Master Su was about to leave the palace after seeing His Majesty,
Officer Tian and Officer Jiang took him to Lumin Club.
They said they're going to farewell Doctor Shi, so he won't be home for dinner.
OK.
What's wrong with him?
He told you this morning that he wanted to eat puffer fish.
You ran around the whole day getting the ingredients.
Honey, sometimes you really can't say no to these social engagements.
It's a good thing that you didn't sit for the Imperial Exam.
Otherwise there'd be one more thing driving me mad.
Sis Runzhi.
Yes?
Brother Dongpo promised you he'd go there twice a month at most.
He went to Lumin Club just a couple of days ago.
It's the beginning of the month now. It's another month.
Right. Perhaps he's forgotten.
Gao Gui, go tell Master Su that Mrs. Su has prepared puffer fish tonight.
OK.
Don't bother. Don't give Master Su a hard time.
Hey, why don't I get you guys some puffer fish soup?
Wow.
I can do that too.
Good...
I often do that...
Thank you, sir.
Brother Dongpo, you can take her out if you're in the mood to.
Brother Wanli, dinners not over yet. You want me to take her out so soon?
Isn't that a bit desperate?
It's not desperate at all.
I may be a playboy. But that doesn't mean I'm not picky.
You think I'll just fall for anyone?
Officer Su, you haven't tried me yet. How do you know I'm not right for you?
Your performance was so spectacular.
Look. I've prepared some money for you as a reward.
Thank you.
You're welcome. You deserve this.
Brother Dongpo.
Yes?
If you're not going to take her out, I'm interested in her.
Come over here.
Let me find out how the human body can bend and stretch.
Brother Dongpo, this dish of sweet and sour spareribs
should be as good as your wife's braised pork.
Really?
Dig in...
I must try it then...It's so salty...
It's really bitter.
It's extremely sour.
It's too sweet. I can't even talk.
It's sour, sweet, bitter and salty. How come?
Honey, I'm home.
So early?
I kept thinking of the puffer fish.
I thought you wouldn't come home.
I missed you too. Come on, Have some tea.
Cut the sweet talk.
I asked Yue'e to come for dinner. She loved the puffer fish.
You're so nice to her?
What are you saying?
Nothing. I said I'm hungry.
Hungry?
Yes. I'm hungry. I kept thinking of the puffer fish.
I didn't want to waste my energy eating other food.
I bet it just didn't taste good.
How did you know?
Would you refuse to eat good food?
True. It's a sin not to eat when there's food.
There's some puffer fish soup left. I'll reheat it for you.
OK...She saved some soup for me. That means she's not mad.
The soup is really tasty even though it's been reheated. Look at the fish.
Only the bones are left. Your cooking skills are really perfect.
That's because you're hungry.
Right...Honey.
Yes?
Are your hands tired?
Yes.
Doctor Shi retired today. He taught me some tricks.
Give me your hand. Let me massage it for you.
Let's see if it works. Come on. Right. Feel good? Skirt is red like pomegranate.
Want to give it to you. Don't be afraid of running after the chicken.
You want to eat pomegranate chicken.
You're so clever. But I want to eat three-yellow chicken:
Yellow skin, yellow tail and yellow feet.
Right.
But it may not be available. I can't promise you that.
You're so smart. I'm sure you'll work something out.
Let me keep massaging your hands...
Do you guys know what this is? It's an oil-saving lamp.
Now everything is so expensive.
I only get 1,200,000 copper coins a month.
I have to give money to my mom, the queen, and the ladies.
I have to reward you guys too. Put yourselves in my shoes.
Do you think it's enough for me? Tell me.
Your Majesty, if you spend less on your inventions, then you'll save.
I'm keen on inventions because I want to save costs.
Take this oil-saving lamp for example. Jixiang, tell them the figures.
Yes, Your Majesty.
There are a total of 70,238 lamps
for the grand hall, side halls and rear halls in the palace.
Monthly oil consumption is 160 catties.
If all the lamps are replaced with this oil-saving lamp,
we'll save 30 catties of oil a month.
Your Majesty, you can't use government funds for personal use.
Let's talk about this later then.
Your Majesty, there's something important that I want to discuss.
Go ahead.
I've checked the criminal laws.
I noticed that a woman's dowry isn't included in her husband's assets.
She can't use her dowry either.
The funniest thing is they can't use their husbands money either.
Problem is, when the woman's family needs money for some unexpected events,
she can't turn to anyone for help.
So? You want to carry out a reform too?
Exactly. I want to amend the law.
Officer Su, your younger sister is going to
become Prime Minister Wang's daughter-in-law soon.
Now you're proposing an amendment to the law. Isn't this a bit suspicious?
The criminal laws were set by our ancestors.
We mustn't amend them casually.
Your Majesty, I'm of the view that
women are like the water in the oil-saving lamp that you invented.
A family is the lamp.
The water controls the oil temperature
so that the lamp will burn brighter and last longer.
That's why we must amend the law to enhance women's financial status.
Well said. I order you to conduct a survey among the people.
I'll make my decision after I study the results.
Much obliged, Your Majesty.
We have to rely on ourselves.
Do you understand that we can't count on our husbands at all?
If you don't help us, who else will Right?
Officer Su.
Yes?
I mean...
Wait...I thought I could fall asleep because I'm sitting.
You can even fall asleep while you're squatting?
Sir, you're fighting for our rights. I don't know how to return your favor.
Today's fish are nice. Feel free to take one.
Get one for free? We'll get a big one then.
You're really a disgrace. How could you be so greedy?
Since the lady boss wants to treat me to a fish today,
we'll just take one, alright?
Take that one, sir.
Fat Po likes whatever you cook.
It's just a side dish. Do you need to choose so carefully?
Hurry, so we can go to Xiao Qiao for a facial.
It's better to add value to ourselves.
I want to make a perfect pomegranate chicken so I'll capture his heart completely.
You wouldn't understand.
Why make such a fuss?
If that Fat Po goes to Lumin Club again,
I will make him that four-flavor spareribs like I did last time.
Don't do that anymore.
When he came home last night, his lips were swollen.
He even had trouble kissing me.
She said the vegetarian food would be ready for me to take away soon.
It's almost dark now. My husband is waiting.
Tell Mrs. Su that I won't wait any longer.
Ask someone to deliver it.
Yes, Mrs. Chen.
Hey, Yue'e, you didn't wait long, right?
Not long at all. At least I haven't become an old woman yet.
Please don't be mad that I didn't ask you to stay for dinner.
Tonight it's just me and honey. Damei and Xiaomei went to watch wrestling.
What is there to watch without Handsome Lad?
I better hurry home to dine with my husband.
OK. Take care.
OK.
Mrs. Su.
Where's Master Su?
He said Doctor Shi wants to return their hospitality.
So he won't be coming home for dinner.
What? He's not coming home for dinner again?
He's doing the right thing.
The doctor's treating them to dinner in return. He can't decline the offer.
Master Su wants you to deliver the pomegranate chicken to Lumin Club.
What?
Rub it gently. Don't use too much force.
It's so hard to ask Doctor Shi to dinner.
Today when we said we were coming to Lumin Club, he came right away.
He's even rubbing this way...
Honey.
Officer Su, someone looks mad.
This Mrs. Chen looks like this even on New Year's Day.
That's why you had better stay away from her during New Year...
Mrs. Chen, you don't like Lumin Club. Why did you come here today?
Does someone here owe you money?
You think I wanted to come? Your wife asked me to come with her.
Really? Is the food ready?
Yes.
Honey, it's just pomegranate chicken?
She delivered it in person already. You're still not happy?
What about the pomegranate braised fish?
Last night you only mentioned chicken in the poem.
You said you wanted to eat chicken.
There are two more lines.
Skirt is red like pomegranate. Want to give it to you.
These two lines are the most important.
I hinted to you that I wanted pomegranate fish.
Doctor Shi's teeth aren't that strong. He wants to have fish.
You're so picky. Why didn't you say so explicitly?
What does it matter to you? I'm picky with my wife, not you.
Mrs. Su's cooking skills are so good. I'm sure we'll enjoy the chicken.
That's right. Dig in.
OK.
So yummy.
Are you kidding? The chicken is so dry.
How do you find it, sir?
It's worse than the sweet and sour spareribs last time
in terms of sou mess, sweetness, bitterness and saltiness.
I want to puke thinking of the sweet and sour spareribs from last time.
Good. You had better puke now.
The sweet and sour spareribs from last time
were made by this Mrs. Chen who's standing next to you. Puke on her.
Are you happy now?
Don't ask why when you get killed by a carriage on the street.
There's nothing I can do if you're so unhappy.
I won't let you boss me around. I won't put up with you like your wife does.
Honey, it's hard to learn how to behave but easy to go astray.
I don't want you to tell tales and quarrel with people the way someone does.
Yue'e...
Honey, Mrs. Chen is the wife of your good friend Chen Jichang.
Please enjoy the food. We'll go now. Let's go, Yue'e.
Chen Jichang is really pathetic to have a wife like that.
Forget about them. Let's eat.
Hey.
If you like sleeping so much. Go sleep at Lumin Club.
I just didn't come home for dinner.
Then you brought that Liu Yue'e to Lumin Club and ruined the mood for all the guests.
Now that I'm home, you won't open the door. You won't let me come in.
What do you want? You won't give me face? Do you treat me like your husband?
Do you treat me like your wife?
You told me to deliver the pomegranate chicken to Lumin Club.
How did you treat me when I got there?
You criticized Yue'e and me in front of everyone.
Did you ever consider my feelings?
You know I hate that Liu Yue'e most I really can't stand her. I hate seeing her.
You know that very well. She started it.
You didn't reproach her. Now you're mad at me?
Isn't that really unfair on me?
Who did you marry? Me, Su Dongpo. You're Mrs. Su. Your name isn't Liu.
Fine. Su Dongpo, tell me what you promised me.
How can I remember so many things?
Oh, I remember I promised you that if you behave, you'd get anything.
If you don't, you'll still get a cow.
You promised me you would be frugal. You will go to Lumin Club less often.
But now you go there every day.
Frugal. So it's about Lumin Club.
So women say one thing and do another, just like men.
You said you don't mind
if I go to Lumin Club.
But actually you're jealous.
You must really regret making that agreement with me, right?
Back then you said I could go anywhere and do anything I wanted.
I could patronize prostitutes and sleep outside. You regret it now.
So you're playing all these tricks. It's not enough for you to do it yourself.
So you asked Liu Yue'e to play the tricks with you.
You think you can put more pressure on me by making a scene, right? Right?
That means I'm right.
Go away...
Where to? This is my home. Hey...
Go away.
Remember that you asked me to leave.
Don't regret it. Hey... Wang Runzhi, you sure have guts.
What happened in Lumin Club?
Master Su reprimanded Mrs. Su rudely. Then Mrs. Su left.
So serious?
Hey.
Keep your voice down.
Su Mansion.
I drank a lot last night. I want to sleep in.
Please go out. Don't disturb me.
Get up. Have the soup.
What soup.
There. Mom Runzhi make it.
She wants to apologize to you so that you two can make up.
You know Mom Runzhi and I...
You two quarreled. Of course I know.
Mom Runzhi asked me to bring the soup here. Of course I know.
Who made the soup?
I told you Mom Runzhi did.
You're lying. She doesn't eat coriander. She wouldn't put it in the soup.
Tell me. Who made the soup?
I told Chun Yue to make it.
Mom Runzhi doesn't know about this. This was my idea.
Why did you do it?
I just want you to make up with Mom Runzhi. I don't want to talk to you. Drink it.
Hey, Mai.
Mai...Mai. You gave me soup this morning. I'll give you some dried persimmons.
You like them. Go ahead and eat.
You want me to feed you? Fine. I'll feed you then. Come on. Eat it...
OK. I'll leave them here. Eat them when you want.
I'll go out now, OK?
Mai, try the sweet dumplings.
He didn't eat the dried persimmons I gave him.
You think he'll eat your sweet dumplings?
I'll leave it here. Have it when you feel like it.
Mom Runzhi, I don't feel good.
What's the matter?
What's the matter, Mai? How are you?
Why is your forehead burning?
Let me see. It's really hot. I'll go get the doctor.
Carry him to the bed first.
Mai, go to bed. Come on. Come.
What are you holding in your hand? Let me see? What are you holding?
Show me. What's this?
Sorry, Dad.
Look. He's holding a heat pad to make his forehead hot
and fake being sick.
Mai, why did you do that?
Why did you fake being sick? Why?
Why?
You two are such a pain. Get out.
Hey, come out.
Mai, come out.
I will hide here forever if you two don't leave.
Mai, those sweet dumplings are cold. Eat these hot ones. Come on.
What's the matter? Are you unhappy? Come on. Tell me why you're unhappy.
I just want Dad to be as nice to you as he was to Mom.
I've gotten over that already. Everyone only has one biological mom.
I don't expect your dad to treat me the way he treated your mom.
Wait. Just now you said everyone only has one biological mom.
You mean you have a stepmom too?
Yes. Your mom was my first cousin.
But what happened to us was completely different.
My stepmom sold me to someone to work as a maid when I was a little girl.
How could I become the kind of person I hate the most?
I trust you a bit now.
Just a bit? Still I appreciate that. Thank you.
I used to envy my classmates
because their parents held their hands and took them to school.
But your dad holds you hand and takes you to school too.
Now I finally have both dad and you to do that.
I don't want to suddenly lose either of you.
Silly boy. Why would you suddenly lose one of us?
Your dad and I want so much to keep you company
until you don't want us to anymore.
But you two quarrel all the time now. Will one of you suddenly leave?
Why would that happen?
We were just arguing with each other. We will make up very quickly, OK?
Hey, try the sweet soup...Come on...
What? Another sweet soup?
I didn't know Mom Runzhi would get it for you.
If you don't want to have it, I'll give it to her then.
Come on. Just now I heard someone say we were just arguing.
We'll make up quickly.
So we're good after you've had sweet soup.
I made the sweet soup. You've shown no sincerity at all.
That's easy. Come on. Have a dried persimmon.
That should be enough sincerity. Look. Doesn't that look beautiful?
Dad, you and Mom Runzhi made this bowl of sweet soup together.
Right. What shall we call it?
Why don't we call it "sweet reconciliation sweet soup"?
Fine.
Ah...It's you?
Are you OK?
I'm fine. Come back up then.
I want you to come...and put them back up.
Oh, you want me to come... you still have to come back up?
Yes.
Hey.
You're so stupid.
Damei, you mustn't do this.
My wife...Hey, she went to the Princess' for dinner.
She won't be home so soon.
Brother Jichang.
Damei...
How dare you two!
Ouch...
Adulterers.
Honey, wake up. Honey.
Chen Jichang, go to hell.
Ah...
Honey, what were you dreaming about?
What? I was dreaming? No, I wasn't.
You weren't?
Come on. Go to sleep.
OK. Go to sleep then.
Here's the blanket.
Interpretation of Dreams.
I dreamt it. Something must be going on.
Goodbye. Come again.
Sorry...I'm so clumsy.
She's trying to seduce my husband. Hong Mei, get to work.
Yes, Mam.
Honey.
Hey.
Did you hurt yourself?
No. It's nothing serious.
Are you hurt?
No.
Honey, I've reserved a table at Zhong Cai Lou. We can go now.
You're so sweet. Let's go then.
OK
Oh, honey.
Yes?
I left my silk handkerchief inside. Can you get it for me please?
Sure.
I'll wait for you in the carriage.
OK. See you soon.
OK.
Ah...
Damei...you're so clumsy. Are you OK? Come on.
You don't need to help me.
Don't get the wrong idea. I just wanted to help you up. Get up.
Why are you still here?
Be patient. We must catch them red-handed.
If I don't make a move now, I'll lose my husband. You adulterers.
Mrs. Chen, who are you calling adulterers?
You two are alone in the same room.
Nothing happened. What's your concern?
Honey, what's the matter?
You told me to come back and get your handkerchief.
It so happened Damei was here by herself. That's all.
It so happened that only the two of you were here.
I dare you to say that you didn't seduce my husband.
I dare you to say your husband didn't seduce me.
Honey, what's going on?
We've been married for so many years. How come you still don't trust me?
Why are you still so narrow-minded?
She wouldn't be Liu Yue'e if she were open-minded.
Fat Po, why do you always go where I go?
No way. I just happened to pass by.
I don't understand why I always see you yelling at people wherever I go either.
What do you mean yelling at people? I've got evidence.
Your younger sister created a chance to meet my husband alone to seduce him.
It's a misunderstanding.
Honey, you asked me to come here to get your handkerchief
I saw Damei fall. So I helped her up. Then you barged in.
The puzzle is solved. Why did Damei fall? Why was she alone with Jichang?
This is a trap that Liu Yue'e set.
What are you talking about? Don't accuse me without evidence.
Given Damei's weight, it's not surprising that she could break the chair.
But it's odd that the break is so neat and smooth.
I've never seen the leg of a chair break like this.
There's sawdust on your maid. How did it get there?
It's so obvious. You know what happened, Damei?
Jichang, have you found the handkerchief your wife asked you to get?
Honey, did you test me on purpose like Brother Dongpo said?
Honey, you know actually I...
I get it. I'm sorry, Brother Dongpo. I'm sorry, Damei.
Honey, I'm sorry. Please let me explain...
So sad.
Brother Dongpo, thank you.
Come on. We're family.
Honey.
Honey, are you itchy anywhere?
Do you want me to help you scratch it? Higher? Lower?
Honey, you should know my feelings towards you.
I do.
Exactly. I don't care if Damei still likes me or not. I only love you.
I would never cheat on you.
I know that. Besides, I'm so much prettier than her.
I'm so much wealthier than her.
But there's something you don't know.
What is it?
You love me much more than she does...
Exactly...What did you say?
What?
You said I love you more than she does. That means she loves you too.
What?
How can another woman love my husband?
No, I didn't mean that.
Talk. Now.
What do you want me to say? You've misinterpreted what I said.
How did I misinterpret it?
Su Dongpo.
Your Highness.
At ease.
Much obliged, Your Highness.
What a coincidence, Officer Su?
Princess, you're taking a stroll. I won't hold you up. Bye.
Officer Su, you're in such a hurry.
Are you going to Lumin Club to pick the ﬂowers there?
The flowers there are so cheap and vulgar. But you seem to like them very much.
Absolutely.
I can't agree with you, Princess.
A ﬂower can still be clean though it's grown on dirty soil.
There are exceptions.
I only go to Lumin Club to meet my friends for noble pursuits.
Why are you only telling us part of the story?
Hey.
Well?
You meet your friends there for amorous purposes
and to share the joy of wrapping your arms around the girls there.
Mrs. Chen, you don't have any literary talent for serious matters.
But you're really brilliant when it comes to imagining dirty things.
Same as you.
Actually your understanding of Lumin Club is too superficial.
Going to Lumin Club is not really as vulgar as you think.
You claim it's such a noble act. Has your husband ever been?
Of course he wouldn't go to such a place.
Because you won't let Jichang go. He's so pathetic.
He can't do anything.
Sooner or later he'll really become impotent.
According to Su Dongpo, your husband is quite abnormal.
He's perfectly normal.
I know how to control him. He just loves me deeply.
He just fears you.
He loves me.
He fears you.
Love.
Fear.
Why don't you two have a bet?
What bet?
If Chen Jichang goes to Lumin Club before the 15th day, Su Dongpo wins.
Otherwise Liu Yue'e wins.
Why would I bet with him?
I want to see if all men want to go to Lumin Club.
Or if Chen Jichang loves you so much
that he wouldn't go there even if he has a chance to.
Fine.
The loser will have his teeth extracted so he will never eat good food again.
We'll talk about that only if you beat me.
Mrs. Chen, why are you so happy.
I made a bet with Fat Po just now.
I said my husband would never go to Lumin Club.
The loser will get all his teeth taken out.
He will lose all his teeth for sure.
Oh, no. I heard Officer Su
tell the carriage man to take him to Chen Mansion just now.
Is he going to...?
Go home right away.
Go after them.
We won't make it. Let's take the shortcut.
Jichang, I promise you'll love the place I'm taking you so much
you won't want to leave.
Really?
Yes...
But my wife doesn't know I've gone out. I better go home and tell her first.
Are you serious? You're the man of the house.
Do you need her approval to go out? Are you a man?
Well?
Are you a real man?
Of course I'm a real man.
Are you a man?
Of course I am. Let's go.
Good. Come on.
Ah...
Mrs. Chen...
How long must we stay on this trail?
It'll end soon, madam.
We've travelled for so long. How far is the place?
What's the matter? You can't wait to get there?
Were almost there. I'm more desperate than you are.
Ren Shou Tang.
What's the matter?
Honey.
Honey? Hey, honey. Why are you here?
I'll deal with you later...
Fat Po, I just made the bet with you. You're already playing such a dirty trick?
Of course. Who's my adversary? It's the infamous, relentless Liu Yue'e.
Of course I had to play a trick like this.
Wait a second. You two bet on me?
Don't think you can get close to him before the 15th day.
We'll see.
Su Mansion.
Honey, what do you think of my bet with Liu Yue'e?
You two are really stupid.
I won't let either of you
take out the other person's teeth no matter who loses.
At most the loser buys the winner a meal.
That's really the main point.
You really mean it?
Of course I do. Actually I share you view.
I want to buy Liu Yue'e a meal as a peace offering.
I want to cancel the bet.
Then I'll talk to the princess privately and end this matter.
You're surrendering so fast? This isn't your character. What's the catch?
What catch? I'm just doing it for everyone's good.
Chen Jichang's caught between Liu Yue'e and me. He's so pathetic.
He's so down. I feel sorry for him. So I'll let it go.
It's good you think like this.
Since you've said that, it's decided then.
OK.
You talk to Liu Yue'e about my idea when you have the time, OK?
So you want to trouble me again.
Come on.
OK.
Thank you, Honey.
You're welcome.
If you'll agree to cancel the bet, Honey will treat you to this meal.
Right.
Of course. You think my husband is buying?
And these dishes are just so-so.
These four courses aren't ordinary at all.
This is a four-course meal. This is Hehe Fairy soup.
The dessert is amazing. It's a confectionery from Japan.
Wow.
They represent my husband's sincerity.
Honey, you're really so clever. You stated the key point.
Come on. Dig in. Come on.
Come on. Brother Dongpo and Honey have finally come to terms.
Why don't we have some tea to celebrate? Come on.
Cheers.
Wait. Honey, let's be clear. This isn't a reconciliation meal.
It's only for the cancellation of the bet. I never reconciled with Fat Po.
It's the same whether it's for reconciliation
or the cancellation of the bet.
Right.
It's the same. Cheers. It's a casual dinner.
Let's enjoy it. Come on.
Come on.
Right. It's rare for the four of us to eat together.
A toast to you.
How can this be so casual? It's to my disadvantage.
Don't worry. If you'll come, I don't mind buying you meals.
You're finally accepting your defeat? Ouch...my stomach.
Are you OK? How are you?
I'll go to the washroom with you.
No, Mei. Get me a chamber pot.
OK.
Come on. Hurry. Get me toilet tissue.
Yes.
Are you serious?
Ah...
It's spurting out. It stinks.
Let's get out of here.
Honey.
Honey, you carry on. I'll wait outside.
No, you stay here with me.
Are you kidding?
Let's get out of here.
It stinks. Go.
I can't smell it. I planned it so meticulously.
I didn't expect she would ask her husband to stay with her while she pooped.
She's so shameless.
I didn't expect you would use me for the bet.
I'm your husband. Of course you have to help me.
Come on. You're such a good girl. I'll give you one. Come on.
I don't want it.
It's clean. Don't worry. Come on. Take it. It's really clean.
Use them yourself.
I'll give them both to you.
Honey, how are you?
I'm sure that Fat Po tampered with the food.
Did you see the way he looked at me last night? He wanted me dead.
Don't worry, Honey.
Even if he had tried to make me leave with him while you pooped,
I still wouldn't have gone to Lumin Club with him.
I don't believe you.
You're his good friend. You can't say no to him.
What do I need to do to make you believe me then?
Love you my whole life. Sign this and I'll believe you.
That's easy...See?
Chen Jichang.
Are you happy now?
Very happy.
Honey, what are you doing?
Qing Song, Hong Mei, get to work.
Work? What work?
Honey, why are you locking me up?
It will be the 15th day in two days.
It's safest if you stay at home. I will get Su Dongpo's teeth.
You're putting your husband under house arrest for the bet?
Just for two days.
Wait. Will I starve to death?
No. At most, you'll pass out.
What?
