[Can't Buy Me Love]
Episode 25
Dad, Mom, if you won't let me out, I will hang myself!
Thank you, Mom, Dad.
- Son, it is already too late. - What do you mean, too late?
Ngan Ping has been jailed.
She, Her Highness, and Dor Luk, will be executed tomorrow at noon.
The dice is cast.
Even if you go to her, you can't save her.
I still have to do it. The worst is to die with her.
All right! You can go.
But before you go to your death, you let me go to mine first.
- Mom! - Let me die!
- Milady! - Mom, no!
- No! - Milady, no!
Yau Wai, what hurts a mother most is to see her offspring die.
If you are filial, you will let me die before you do.
- Milady, no! - Mom, why?
Yau Wai, why did Ngan Ping write us to bring you back?
Why did she knock you out?
Why she wouldn't let you risk the danger with her?
She did so much, because she didn't want you to go to your death.
She did so much for your life, but you are not grateful and insist on going.
You really have the heart to deny her her last wish?
I promise you, if you will stop being foolish
after the execution, we will formally set her a spirit tablet, all right?
Yau Wai, we will let her marry into the Ting family.
She died a Ting.
We will pay her respects everyday. She will be remembered.
Yau Wai.
I promise you, I will do no foolish things.
Ancestors above, please bless Dor Luk and my granddaughter-in-law
that they will be spared.
Please bless Dor Luk and Chiu Yeung, that their lives will be spared.
Benevolence rules, heaven be our judge. Good deeds will be rewarded.
The Kam ancestors, please hear us.
Please bless Dor Luk and Chiu Yeung so they can survive this.
Even if it means the shortening of my lifespan, I am willing.
Please grant us a miracle.
Let the clouds be our oracle.
That Dor Luk and Chiu Yeung can be free of the shackle.
Heaven above, I believe good deeds will be rewarded.
Heaven has eyes. The good will not meet a wrongful death.
Master Luk and others will survive it.
They will be blessed, miracles will happen.
Dig in.
Sister, look, your favorite multi-grain congee.
I have Jinhua ham.
It must be Princess Tak Sin's doing. She is really caring.
Then let us enjoy our last meal, so that her effort is not wasted.
Be content, be happy, life is spared disgrace.
Be happy for your happiness. Life will be filled with peace.
Try the ham, it goes well with congee.
Thank you, Milord.
We don't have countless fortune, but we have laughter for our wealth.
Milord, you try my congee. Be contented and full of glee.
It is delicious.
Take things in stride. Let no one break your stride.
Fear not the strong wind and rough sea. Camaraderie grows in adversity.
I know my share of the Homilies.
The sky is dark and the clouds are thick.
Who can tell me the time?
It matters not what time it is.
What counts is that Your Majesty enjoys the moment.
Your Majesty is not in a good mood today.
Don't be down.
Why don't we play some chess?
With your mind occupied, you will forget the unhappiness.
Proceed.
Protect His Majesty!
Assassin!
Protect His Majesty! Come!
What nerve! You dare to assassinate me? Who are you?
I am Eunuch Po Shun Fung.
What nerve! You dared to assassinate His Majesty.
That is a capital offense. You will die by a thousand cuts.
Not His Majesty. I meant to kill you, the witch!
How dare you!
Lady Wai!
What has Lady Wai done that you want her dead?
Palace maid Hung Pik and I were dinner dates.
Hung Pik offended the witch.
She had her tendons cut off and tortured her to death.
Heaven has no eyes. Why is she spared every time?
Every time?
The first time was in the imperial garden.
Kam Dor Luk was stabbed instead.
My companion was killed.
I did it alone this time.
But... I failed.
So you were the assassin!
- Take him to be executed! - Yes.
Get up!
The truth is now known. Lui Siu Yuen's name should be cleared.
Go to the prison and give my order. The executions are called off!
Yes.
With this cup of poisonous wine
Milord, I have to bid you goodbye for the time being.
Let us meet again in the netherworld.
Milady, you can be rest assured, I will be holding your hand.
However dark and thorny the road ahead, I will not let go.
Sister, we will meet in our next lives.
Halt!
By His Majesty's order, don't take the wine.
Lui Siu Yuen, Kam Dor Luk, Szeto Ngan Ping.
Your executions are put on hold.
Lui Siu Yuen is summoned to see His Majesty.
Your Majesty, at your service.
You are excused.
Your Majesty, at your service.
- Please get up. - Thank you, Your Majesty.
You have lost weight.
Lady Wai was assaulted and the assassin caught on the spot.
He turned out to be a eunuch from the palace office.
He bears Lady Wai grudge and he tried to kill her again and again.
Really?
Now that the truth is known, you are exonerated.
Since you are innocent, Kam Dor Luk and Szeto Ngan Ping are also innocent.
I will do them justice
but you will be demoted to commoner and Szeto Ngan Ping is expelled from court.
Your Majesty, I am grateful.
But I am sure it was not a divine intervention, but a human contrivance.
That's all I can do for you.
I understand.
I am the head of the country. I have do things by the book.
I have to account to the people.
Yes, it was not divine intervention. It was human contrivance.
I arranged a death-row inmate to play the assassin and admit to the crime.
From the very beginning
I never believed you would kill Lady Wai to cover up your birth.
Though you are not my biological daughter
we have lived 20 years together. How would I not know your nature?
To kill and to scheme is not what you do.
I knew you were innocent but I couldn't pardon your life.
This was the best and only option.
Your Majesty, you have done so much for me. I really don't know...
In my heart, you are not a commoner. You are my Chiu Yeung.
Your Majesty, I can never repay your kindness.
You understand my love, that will do.
Actually, every cloud has a silver lining.
You were thrown into jail.
Kam Dor Luk never deserted you. He was willing to die with you.
It shows how much he loves you.
It is easier to find gold than true love.
I understand.
You will have to leave court and go into a common household.
From royalty to a commoner. It will be an adjustment.
Your Majesty, you can be rest assured
Either in court or in the Kam family, I am loved and pampered.
The little girl has grown up and has a family of her own.
In weather fair and foul, there is not just me to worry about you.
The Kam family will give you shelter.
The faithful Kam Dor Luk will tend to your every need.
I am relieved.
I have to bid you goodbye, Your Majesty. Please take care.
The same girl, a new look. What a joy to behold!
We know you are a loving couple, but it is still corny.
Happiness is written all over your faces. You two are the people to hate.
We had a reversal of fortune. You can't blame us for flaunting our joy.
Right, Milady?
- Come on, sit down. - Thank you, Milord.
Ngan Ping, you look totally different today.
Not as imposing but much more elegant.
So you mean I used to look butch?
That's not what I meant!
Cousin, you may be good at reasoning, but wooing is my forte.
You should probably not try.
The Kam family bounces back.
We are on a roll of good fortune.
Thanks to our ancestors, we survived it.
We had a reversal of fortune. Good times are ahead for us.
Definitely.
I put you in that ordeal. I apologize for that.
Cut it out.
We are family, there's no need to say sorry.
You don't have to stand on ceremony.
Let the sadness fly away, have a wing, Yueng.
Bad luck gone, good luck in.
You and Luk grow old together, Yueng.
No more court etiquette. You two can be lovey-dovey.
Yueng, have some greens.
No more Your Highness. I find Yueng much more pleasing.
You don't have to serve me, you eat up.
- Grandma.. - Luk.
You try it.
Thank you, Po Yin.
Don't just serve others, enjoy some too.
You have to be plump to look good.
Po Yin?
Chun, don't just eat the rice, try all the dishes.
Chun?
Grandma, what are you talking about?
That you should dig in!
But Grandma, what did you call me?
Po Yin, you are Kwong Po Yin.
Grandma, you called me Chun.
Are you out of your mind?
What should I call you if not Chun? Fook?
Why is Grandma talking so strangely?
Who is Po Yin?
Po Yin is Dor Fook's natural mother.
And who is Chun?
Chun is my late husband...
The two have passed away.
Is Grandma possessed?
Grandma, then who am I?
Wah On, how come you are sharing our table?
It is not for you, what nerve.
- Wah On? - Who is Wah On?
He used to be our servant. He's been dead for a dozen years.
What? Has Grandma gone mad?
I'm just kidding! Have a laugh!
Fook takes after his late mother. Harmony means everything.
A baby for feeding is what he wants more than anything.
Dor Luk has Chun's good luck in games
To him, the other three sharing the table are fair game.
What about Wah On? Why did you bring him up all of a sudden?
Wah On lived to the ripe old age of 80.
It is not such a bad thing to live to such a ripe old age.
What a scare.
- So you were just kidding. - Yes.
You look younger by the day and use us for your kid's play.
You are such a happy family.
The old and the young are harmonious.
I am envious, I am happy for you.
Yau Wai and Ngan Ping are now an item.
Your family will soon multiply, to become a big one like ours.
Thank you, thank you.
I can't wait...
If you need our help for your wedding preparation, just say it.
We will pull out all the stops to help you.
Good...
I too will help, after the household chores are done.
Yuk, let me help you with the chores.
Really?
And me.
I am the second daughter-in-law. Don't you fight with me.
Moreover, you have your dowry to prepare, you won't be free.
This is my room from now on.
Ngan Ping, you can stay in the Ting house.
That wouldn't be convenient. Sister can take care of me here.
Miss Ngan Ping, is there anything you want?
Right, what about more trunks? Or paintings.
Bedding, vases or bowls.
Tell us if they fall short of your need.
She needs nothing, keep things simple. She won't be staying here for long.
How come? Madam Yueng sees her as her own sister.
Indeed, Miss Ngan Ping is welcome to stay as long as she likes.
She is still a maiden, she needs Madam Yueng to take care of her.
But once I get my parents' approval
I will propose to Ngan Ping. She will soon become my wife.
We will leave you to your heart-to-heart.
When did I say I would marry you?
It is far from confirmed.
You couldn't wait to announce it to the world.
Good news should be shared.
News has no wings, but it flies.
I will marry no one but you.
You used to be a square-head. How did you come to have a slick mouth?
I have found my other half, I feel relieved.
If one can quiet down, then one can have peace in one's mind.
If one has peace in mind, then one can think.
I can think of my good wife.
For shame, who is your wife?
We have exchanged marital vows.
What is left is the consummation of marriage.
- You... - Don't be mad!
One, two, three, four.
Two, three, four, five, six.
Seven...
Milady, what are you doing?
- Counting my steps. - Counting steps?
From here to the table, four steps.
From the table to the bed, five steps.
Then to the window, seven steps.
Oh, so you find the room too small. I don't blame you.
It can't compare to your old mansion, not to mention the palace.
But your old mansion might have been too big.
It echoed when we talked.
The bathroom was bigger than our bedroom...
This has its advantages.
When I get up, just a few steps and I can have tea.
A few more steps and I can enjoy the flowers outside.
When I am tired, a few more steps and I can get in bed and tuck myself in.
You really don't mind it.
Now that I am a commoner, I understand that cozy doesn't mean big.
If the flower is aromatic, just one will do.
Really?
You tell me, isn't it better to have a big heart than a big house?
- Genuine feelings than genuine gold. - You are right.
- We should be content. - Why envy the rich and powerful?
Now I have you, Mother, and Grandma.
Yueng, you said you wanted to share the household chores with me.
I have written them down.
We in-laws take turns doing them on alternate months.
It sure is a long list.
Oh, there are many chores indeed.
Luk, Shau, I do them every day.
I have been in the Kam family for seven years, I have been doing them since.
No one has cared about them before.
Read them out to me.
First one, get up at fifth watch to prepare congee for Grandma and Mother.
That means three in the morning.
Sister is still dead asleep at that hour.
It is not easy to be a daughter-in-law.
It means going to bed at midnight and getting up at three in the morning.
My back hurts lately and I can't get up so early.
The congee will get cold anyway.
Make it seventh watch.
Good, we get up in the morning and the congee is ready.
It means preparing it at seven in the morning.
Milady, you don't have to get up so early.
Second one, prepare the menu and meals of the day.
There are so many people in the Kam family.
To feed so many, the menu is a headache.
You can't repeat a meal, and must respect everyone's tastes.
Melon or greens. Pork or beef. Stew or soup.
My head is going to explode.
It is all right.
I am the picky eater.
I don't mind picking menus. Let me be the buyer.
I will tell Leung Sun and Mei King what to get and how to put it together.
Yueng, you will find preparing meals is as easy as pie.
Bravo!
That's good, thank you Brother Fook.
Yueng, go on.
Third one, pantry tallying.
Yes, to keep an eye on the pantry.
Stock up when an item runs low
such as dried seafood, bird's nest, mushroom, dried scallops, etcetera.
There are many items to pay attention to.
Like the basics: firewood, rice oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea.
Let me see to it.
We'll put them into a spreadsheet, with lines, boxes, and ticks.
All items can be marked with this trick.
When a bottle is used, it's marked with a tick.
By counting the ticks, we know what to take.
Even greens can be counted without mistake. No mistake!
That's a good trick, clever trick.
Chores are now a piece of cake.
When I was slaving away, you never bothered to ease my dismay!
Because you are capable! You never saw them as trouble.
You are gorgeous, and a model of virtues.
You really are competent.
And good granddaughter-in-law. And a good wife.
It is my good fortune that I found you to marry.
You are right, I really am a good housewife.
Good housewife!
Look at you, you're like a child.
You are so pleased with a piece of candied fruit.
It is not just a piece of candied fruit, it is the court etiquette.
That's profound.
When I was a princess, I lived in the palace.
Security was tight. It was not easy to slip out.
Not to mention enjoying street food.
You are right, royalty travels with an entourage.
Your food was tested with silver needles.
You couldn't be as free as you are now.
A commoner is free and has no etiquette to observe.
I can even enjoy street food, or squat down to check out the jade pieces.
You're saying being a commoner is actually a blessing.
Then Milady and I...
What Milady? We all have a name.
I don't like the name Lui Siu Yuen.
You think up a name for me.
Why not? Pinwheels... Your new name is Pin Wheel.
No, that's an ugly name.
Oh, sesame cakes! What about Sesame Cake?
Hey, be serious.
I need inspiration from what I see or what I think.
What about Chiu Yeung in reverse?
Yeung Chiu?
Yeung as a surname sounds pretty good.
From now on, you are my beloved wife Yeung Chiu.
Yeung Chiu wants a bun!
Yeung Chiu wants a bun, it will be done. Fights will be forgotten.
Please give us buns, I want a dozen.
Lady Wai here.
Lady Wai, greetings.
Tak Sin, you are a Tang princess.
You have to have the proper demeanor.
I have arranged lessons in the four arts for you.
Who did this?
Tak Sin is royalty.
How can she have buns and noodles and rice for lunch?
I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare them for me.
I can't finish a sumptuous lunch. It would be such a waste.
So I asked for buns and rice.
How can you ignore court etiquette?
The dishes cannot be changed at will.
You are a princess, you can only consume delicacies.
The imperial kitchen didn't observe court rules, they should be punished.
- Eunuch Hon. - Yes.
Give my order!
The imperial kitchen has violated court rules.
Chief Chef is to be deducted half a year of pay.
Deputy Chief is to be denied family visits for a year.
The others will get hard labor in the dye mill for a month.
Lady Wai, please spare them. The fault was mine alone.
You are a princess! You never make mistakes.
The fault always goes to the underlings.
If others know that a princess committed a mistake
His Majesty would not look good.
Not just the imperial kitchen.
Fei Yin and the other two are not spared.
Please forgive us.
Each are to be deducted half a year of pay.
Thank you, Lady Wai.
Like medicine, advice is hard to take.
But I have to remind you.
If you don't want people around you to suffer, to be penalized
you have to mind your words and behavior.
Don't break any rules, or your underlings will suffer.
His Majesty favors Princess Tak Sin, so she has become willful.
I meant to show her who calls the shots in the royal harem.
I made an example out of the underlings this time.
She should be able to read between the lines.
If she toes the line, fine.
If not, then she will be the next Chiu Yeung.
Whoever gets in my way, I will have her removed.
Lady Wai, at your service.
You have checked out Po Shun Fung's background?
Lady Wai, I had people check into it.
It was strange, no one knew about this eunuch.
Not even when he was admitted or his home, whether he had kin or family.
No one has heard of him.
Was it a cover-up?
I believe there was a cover-up and the traces were removed.
Wong Ka Tung was the assassin.
Why would a eunuch come out to admit the guilt?
An eunuch with no trace of existing?
The man behind it has enormous clout.
Only one has this clout.
Lady Wai... you mean... His Majesty?
Chiu Yeung had been his favorite.
To save her life, I would not be surprised if he came up with this plan.
What should we do?
We can't be rash. We just have to wait and see.
Yes, Lady Wai.
You are a princess, you have to observe the table manners.
Chew without sound. Bite without showing your teeth.
One-third full is full. Take your time eating.
Pick it up with ease.
Nibble and then chew slowly.
I got it!
Your Highness...
- We really won the longevity locket! - Right!
I really am happy because we won it together.
We spared no effort to get it!
- It is memorable. - True.
Hawthorn cordial, good for digestion!
Hey, wait for us, hawthorn cordial!
The longevity locket is exquisite.
Mom.
Yes, I promised Sz I would make it for her.
There were delays, so it has only been finished today.
Now she is a princess, though. She can have anything.
I still wanted to carry out my promise.
You are still in love with her.
Mom...
I am your mother. How would I not know my son?
You are faithful.
But it was not reciprocal.
Dor Shau, I am sorry.
Actually, that is my fault. I was snobbish.
I persuaded Sz to decline your love, for the sake of the family.
What did she say?
She said... she never harbored any inappropriate thoughts for you.
She told me the one in her heart was the young man on a white horse.
I think she said that for my sake. It was only her excuse.
Dor Shau, I am sorry.
It was our destiny.
Sz is now a princess. The situation has changed.
Now I am not good enough for her.
It is what it is.
- Grandma. - You can start anew.
- Mother, sit down. - Sit down.
Tell Sz again how you feel about her.
It is never too late to declare your love.
The tenth month is just as good for the new year to begin.
Oh, you are here too.
Let us go to Yau Wai!
Mother, what for?
For matchmaking.
To bid him to find a girl for Dor Shau.
- Me? - So that he will give Sz up.
A marriage has to be between two families of equal status.
A master can't marry a maid.
Grandma, how come you changed your mind so quickly?
Indeed, Mother, you just urged Shau to go to Sz.
Now you say he shouldn't be in love with her.
What are you talking about?
Grandma, were you just kidding again?
What time is it? Time for dinner.
Dinner? But you just had it.
You're silly, what dinner?
We'll go pay our respect to our ancestors.
But we just did that.
Right.
Let us have dinner, I am hungry.
- Grandma. - I am hungry.
- Grandma. - Mother.
Mom, is Grandma ill?
Go get the physician.
How is she?
She has fallen asleep after taking tranquilizing medicine.
Let her have a good sleep.
Doctor Mok, what is her illness?
My diagnosis is senile dementia.
The symptoms are loss of memory, the mixing up of dates and times.
Old happenings are vivid to her. She can tell you in great detail.
But she has no recollection of what just happened.
No wonder she wanted to go to Yau Wai for matchmaking.
And she didn't remember she'd just eaten and paid respect to the ancestors.
Please make her a prescription.
Be it ginseng, bear's paw, or snow lotus from Tianshan
however expensive, we will get it for her.
What a shame Yueng is no longer a princess
or we could have gone to an imperial doctor.
Not even an imperial doctor can help her.
- It is incurable? - That's correct.
The only thing you can do is to make her happy.
Right, make her happy and make her laugh.
Make her exercise her brain. Try to get her to think more.
I got it, to stop the deterioration.
Oh, what a crowd.
- Grandma. - Grandma, you're awake.
- Mother. - Grandma.
One, two, three, four.
Since everyone is here, let us have a game.
I prefer the game for four and not the game for two.
- Come on, set the table. - Sure.
Set the table.
It is late, let us have four rounds.
No, that's not enough to whet my appetite.
It is already midnight, eight rounds then.
I won't play long, make it 16 rounds.
What?
Go ahead.
Don't embarrass us.
16 rounds go like a breeze.
- All right. - All right.
All right then.
Let me say it beforehand; I am an expert, so no feeding me cards.
Win! Triplets, come on.
Win! Pure hand, come on.
Win!
Again? So soon?
Watch out! Win!
Grandma, bravo!
- Bravo. - Ouch.
Oh, time flies, 16 rounds already.
You hear it? The cock crows.
Pay up, and be early next time.
Mother, your winnings.
Grandma, you beat the other three. Grandma is the big winner!
Grandma, you are awesome. You are invincible.
Right, you three daughters-in-law have to beg for a break.
You win with such terrific ease.
We all go to bed early.
- Pay up. - Sure.
Hold it! What is this?
Nine tiles in a hand?
It was a false win!
What's wrong with you?
You three were passing tiles behind my back.
And you kept pressing us to hurry up!
It was the east wind and you called it the west.
I have hardly sat down, what 16 rounds?
You treat me as a child? Or out of my mind?
If you don't like playing it with me, say so. You don't have to suffer me.
I have my pride, even in a game.
How come Grandma is suddenly so sharp of mind?
Mother, come on.
The young find it tiring.
But it can't tire us, the aged.
Come on, another round.
Grandma, we three men will fill in for them.
Good idea. I have been itching to play.
- Change of wind and seats. - Sure.
- We start from round one. - What?
From round one?
Just kidding.
I know that the sun has risen.
You are all heavy-lidded.
All right, Loi Hei, pay up.
- What? - Again?
Grandma, we just paid you.
Don't you deny me my due.
I am not so easily fooled.
Pay up.
Yes... whatever, come on.
- I told you I would beat you three. - Pay up.
- Sharp one moment. - Clueless the next.
We are in for a ride.
Milord!
- Mom. - We have an invitation.
Really? By whom?
Birthday or wedding feast?
Master Chan, he is getting a concubine.
Oh, how generous of his wife.
She allows him to get a concubine?
She is forced to, she is barren.
She is worried her husband will divorce her.
So she has to be generous and let him get a concubine.
So she is forced to.
Master Chan didn't know how to pick a wife.
She should have a backside.
Then she will give birth to at least four.
Milady, when I married you, you were not voluptuous.
I am different, I have a svelte figure.
But my oven is lit!
It means my oven can bake buns.
Though I have only given birth to one, he is the best and the brightest.
I gave birth to a smart boy.
- He is equal to ten. - Yes.
The whole family is invited. We all have to go.
Let me go pick a defective piece as a gift.
Milady... Boss Chan and I are friends.
Pick a better piece.
He's only getting a concubine. Who knows what will happen?
What if his concubine is barren too?
Then he has to marry another and it means another feast.
We can't afford so many expensive gifts. You're silly.
Dad, forget it, Mom is the bean counter in the house.
She teases others for being barren.
Ignorance is bliss.
If she is happy, we are content.
You are right.
Oh yes, she has asked Pok Yat Pok to read your horoscopes.
Though it is not your real horoscope and birth data, the show must go on.
No big deal, so long as it goes smoothly.
After the horoscopes are read, a wedding date can be set.
Reinforcing horoscopes means a happy marriage.
Good...
Yau Wai's horoscope and birth data are here. Have a look.
Sure.
Oh, the year of the lamb.
Yes...
We were born in the year of the lamb. We are meek as lamb.
He had a tough life.
Really?
It was filled with misfortunes.
You had a close call when you were young.
You were snatched back from the jaws of death.
Was he gravely ill as a boy?
Was he?
Yes, he had a high fever.
- Yes, very serious. - Yes.
When was that?
A long time ago.
Yes, it was a long time ago. Let us not bring it up.
- Back to the birth data. - Back to it.
Carry on.
You were born in the year of the lamb.
You shouldn't marry a girl born in the year of the tiger.
They are counteractive.
The tiger will eat the lamb up, no!
But... I was born in the year of the tiger.
So you were born in the year of Gengyan (famous general).
The counteracting horoscopes are not a problem.
Not a problem...
As long as you were not born on the seventh month, at months end.
It may still be neutralized.
What? Seventh month? And month end?
Now what does it mean?
The seventh month is the ghost month.
The end of the month means the yin dominates.
It is counteractive and destructive.
Counteractive and destructive, so it is doomed?
- It is all right. - It is all right.
If Miss Ngan Ping's parents are alive, it can be neutralized.
I have no parents.
- It is all right. - It is all right.
If you have many siblings, like the Big Dipper has stars
that number can neutralize it.
I have no siblings.
- No parents, so hers is a tough life? - Yes.
A lone child, so she is destructive?
Of course, single yin and single yang means barren.
She is a born bane, to be avoided.
What if they get married?
If they get married, bad luck will befall.
You will walk backward.
Good luck turn will turn bad.
And a broom will fall on your head.
Milady, though the fortune books say such, our fate can be altered.
If we take a roast pig as offering to the temple for blessings
it can be neutralized.
Yes, it can be neutralized.
What my husband said can work?
Do you want the truth?
All right, cut it out.
- Milady! - Mom!
Birth data compatibility is not always constructive.
Indeed, it isn't a literal interpretation.
Mom, Cousin Luk said Pok Yat Pok is not always accurate.
Take his words with a grain of salt.
I say we can fight fate.
Our fate is in our hands.
Right.
You are right, I am on a roll.
I just don't believe bad luck will befall me.
No, no.
What is it? Netherworld money?
Knock on wood! How come there are such stuffs flying about?
Why offer netherworld money in broad daylight?
It is a roadside offering.
No, I have to go back and have a pomelo leaf bath.
Mom!
Watch out!
Why did you make me walk backwards?
- Mom! - Milady!
- Mom, are you all right? - Get up.
- You all right? - You all right?
- Does it hurt? - You all right?
What's wrong with them?
A broom fell on my face!
Now bad luck will follow me!
Pok Yat Pok was right!
The horoscopes and birth data are not compatible, and counteractive.
We are doomed.
- Mom. - Milady.
It is a match made in heaven, how could it end like this?
It is just not fair.
It is not your horoscope and birth data.
But we can't tell Mom about it.
It probably isn't Ngan Ping's fault.
Your own birth data is counteractive and bad luck befell her.
What can I do?
