Mum and dad keep on saying that...
4th Brother is still alive.
Although I dare not say it,
I've confirmed to myself long ago that he died.
Me too.
Haven't heard from him for over a decade.
That he suddenly appeared...
is something unimaginable.
How did he lead his life...
for all these years?
In principle, family reunion is good.
But why didn't 4th Brother say it?
I guess that he...
is still dissatisfied with us Yang's family.
Yes, 5th Brother.
You also know that when we invited him to come...
to our home for fun, but he repeatedly refuses.
At last, mum proactively persuaded him so that...
he's forced to come to our home for medicines.
I think that he should have known...
about his identity long ago.
Isn't it possible, 6th Brother?
If that's the case, why didn't he say it?
Because he hates us.
Hate us?
How come?
His surname is Chou, and named Mu Yi.
When the Chinese characters of Mu and Yi joins,
doesn't it become "Yang"?
If we Yang's family...
is destined to loss someone,
then takes me, Yang Ye's life.
Don't let my children suffer any more.
Mu Yi
Master.
Si Lang.
Ms. Luo, Si Lang he...
You're saying that he has recovered?
Really blessed by our ancestors!
It's too early to say he has totally recovered.
But the virulence inside him...
was spit out under my guidance.
But his wound in the chest has been cut deep,
and also the virulence run thru the whole body.
So we still need to observe before we know...
if his injuries would bring future problems.
Is it serious?
I've done all should be done.
Now, you must let him take rest and recover,
and to recuperate.
I believe that there should not be big problems
as he's always so physically fit.
Si Lang.
Take good rest.
Don't worry.
You have your dad and mum beside you,
you have your brothers and sisters beside you.
Even if the sky collapses,
we won't leave you alone anyway.
We'll be always with you. Do you know?
How're the wounded soldiers in the barracks?
Don't worry, 8th Prince.
I've gone to the barracks and saw them.
Those greenhorn soldiers are fine.
Who's this person?
He is so brutal that...
he beat Jiao Zan and Meng Liang to injuries.
He also made a fool of these new soldiers.
This assassin's skills are really brilliant.
He's by no means a mediocre.
That is to say, it would be pretty easy...
for him to injure those new soldiers.
But he didn't do so.
I guess he didn't aim at General Jiao & Meng.
But his real target is Dad and 8th Prince.
That's right.
This guy is a wheeler-dealer.
He made the wounded soldiers lure us...
to the forest, and hence we fell in his trap.
You said this guy...
was to assassinate me and General Yang.
Then he must be very acquainted with you and me.
Otherwise,
how did he know I'm visiting barracks today?
So who is he after all that he holds...
such great grudges against Dad and 8th Prince?
He even wants to put you all to death.
Isn't he...
Who's he?
When I was fighting with the assassin,
I could feel from the eyes of him that...
he's Pan Ren Mei.
Pan Ren Mei?
General Yang has reminded me...
I once insulted him...
in front of all officials.
He surely bears grudges and plans for revenge.
But he's the Prime Minister, head of officials.
How could he make such a dishonorable act?
Moreover,
isn't he a civil official?
You don't know that.
Pan Ren Mei was originally a military official.
In early days, he followed Tai Zu to conquer...
the world. After Tai Zu has reigned the world,
he's appointed official and awarded wealth.
He's then changed to a civil official.
In addition, this time you've followed...
closely on the mining disaster in...
Tai Ping County, and his brother-in-law was...
hence sentenced to death. He then bears grudge.
Really disgusting.
What a wicked and insidious guy.
I won't pardon him easily.
No!
I've to see the Majesty and let him know that.
Wait!
We haven't got any evidences.
Even we don't have any evidences, I need to...
advise the Your Majesty to be cautious on him.
What if we've guessed wrong?
Don't we empower him an excuse to harm us?
General Yang, what should we do then?
This guy was attacked by my long spear.
His shoulder must have got wounded.
If Pan Ren Mei also got his shoulder wounded.
That has proved all of that.
Good! Don't delay it then.
We'll go and ask Pan Ren Mei about that.
I pay respect to 8th Prince and General Yang.
I ask you, where's the Majesty gone?
The Majesty has gone there for hunting.
Have you seen Prime Minister Pan?
Prime Minister Pan should be with the Majesty.
Quick, go there and take a look.
Yes.
Your Majesty.
I pay respect to Your Majesty.
Why are you here?
Your Majesty, I have something to report.
Let's talk when we're back.
Your Majesty, this is urgent.
Prime Minister got injured.
What?
Your Majesty! Your Majesty!
Sit down, sit down.
It's my fault that I've been careless.
How serious is Prime Minister's injuries?
It's not serious.
Such a wound on the shoulder doesn't harm.
Chief Commander Yang and 8th Prince have come.
Pan Ren Mei.
I come here to claim you responsibility.
You thought using a tactic to injure yourself...
and you can deceive me successfully, don't you?
What are you talking about?
Your Majesty,
Chief Commander Yang and I were assassinated...
in the forest and that nearly took our lives.
You're injured!
Your Majesty,
that assassin is Pan Ren Mei.
What?
Your Majesty.
This wound was made by an arrow from the Majesty
That was witnessed by many others. How come to...
say that's wounded by Chief Yang's long spear?
Yes, exactly.
Nephew,
do you have evidence to prove your remarks?
Chief Commander Yang injured the assassin,
and this wound is a proof.
8th Prince, what're you saying?
Aren't you now talking black into white?
Aren't you mistaking right for wrong?
That's obviously your trick.
How come things emerge in such a coincidence?
You're just exposing more of yourself by that!
Your intention is known to all in such a way.
Shut up!
Obviously Prime Minister's wounded by my arrow.
I eye-witnessed that, by no means doubtful.
I can evidence that Prime Minister's innocent.
Your Majesty is clever!
Your Majesty!
I've spoiled Your Majesty's hunting fun.
That's my fault.
I tell all of you that...
It isn't a trivial charge for bringing...
a false accusation to royal officials. But I...
just pardon you this time as you're irritated...
by an attempted assassination. But if you...
make the offence again, I must uphold justice.
I know.
Somebody come!
Yes.
Escort Prime Minister back home for rest.
Yes.
Thank you your majesty!
Don't move, as your wounds haven't recovered.
Don't get close to me.
From now on...
you're no longer my friend.
I was only forced to...
tell about your background just now.
I don't want to see you anymore.
Go away!
Go, quick, go!
Don't be so impulsive!
Madam Yang.
Ms. Luo, you've had a hard time.
From morning till night, you are non-stop...
carrying out acupuncture or medicine treatment.
You must have been so tired.
Si Lang.
So you must take good rest.
Ms. Luo and I leave here first.
Sorry for that.
Si Lang treats you that way...
Don't mention that.
I can understand how he feels.
Already more than a decade...
has he not only got his appearance changed,
but his temper has also changed.
I remember when they're young,
Si Lang was the most obedient...
among all brothers.
Da Lang and Er Long were sometimes naughty.
But Si Lang was always...
considerate despite of his young age.
Once their dad got injured,
and had to rest at home.
Si Lang knew about that and told his brothers...
not to make noise outside his dad's house...
and even had to walk lightly,
so that his dad could enjoy good sleep.
At that time, Qi Lang should be even younger,
and was not yet able to walk steadily.
But they brothers...
always liked going uphill for fun.
Si Lang...
deliberately walked slowly to...
accompany Qi Lang.
Actually it's hard to blame him for his change.
He's wandered outside for over ten years.
He must have gone through much hardship.
It's already not easy to survive all the way.
Maybe, I should not have so many wishes.
I should be satisfied for seeing him...
be back home safely.
But I believe...
the old Si Lang...
would be back someday.
Yang Si Lang is kind and good in nature.
Even if he had experienced repeated setbacks,
I believe his nature would not change.
But...
he's really got hatred deep inside him,
and he's also filled with anxiety.
He's afraid of his weakness being exposed.
He's unwilling to confess his love...
towards his parents and family.
I once asked him...
now that he hated his parents so much,
then what's the reason for him to come back.
What did he say?
He said he was only back for repaying kindness.
His master prophesized that General Yang...
would experience a deadly challenge these days.
That's why he came back for repaying...
the kindness of his parents for bringing him up.
After that, he'll renounce his parents.
What a contradictory mindset!
He obviously can't put away his parents...
from his mind, but he doesn't confess that.
So he sacrificed his life for rescuing General...
is for repaying his parents' kindness.
I think he's now being torn between...
the love and hate for his parents.
If he can't calm himself,
that's not beneficial to his recovery.
Yes.
Just now, I could see his leg that...
seems to have lost strength.
What happened actually?
The virulence once runs through his body...
that may have brought certain harm to him.
Is that serious?
Hopefully it's only a temporary paralysis.
Will he get full recovery anyway?
I'm not sure.
Now, we can only persuade him to get treatment.
If he doesn't want to see you,
don't force him to do so.
I know what I should do now.
For me,
I think I should not see him now,
lest he gets angry.
You treat him so thoughtfully but you have to...
bear his rebuke. It's really hard on you.
It doesn't matter indeed.
All people who are sick or injured...
would be depressed,
not to speak of that...
the injuries he got are not only physical.
It's nothing for me to be rebuked by him.
But it's his mother bears greatest hardship.
Lots of the doctors know how to cure illnesses.
But few of them can cure heart.
It's really luck for you to be here.
To shed off that deadly challenge for me.
Yes.
His hardhearted,
his harsh words,
are all serving for the other purpose.
If he's really so callous,
why did he sacrifice his life to save you?
We owe him so much.
I haven't thought that...
how he's badly hurt because of us.
Now, even if we could cure his trauma,
that would be already branded on him.
More than a decade's hardships and mishaps...
that period is too long.
It's very difficult to...
remove hatred from his heart in a short period.
I'm not wishing that he would forgive me.
I only wish...
he could lead a happy life in the days to come.
As long as he can relieve himself...
from hatred,
I'll feel fine...
even if...
he no longer admits that I'm his mother.
I really mean it.
As long as it's for his good, I don't mind...
Sai Hua, don't think too much.
Our child is simply kind in nature.
His proactively rescuing me is evidence.
But his true temperament is clouded by hatred.
This is so arranged by destiny.
The hardship he encountered over the decade...
can't be compensated within a short time.
To be too anxious would get opposite results.
Just let things go their own way.
Time can change everything.
He must accept us one day.
Si Lang,
have you got injured as you fell?
Go away! Go away!
No need for you to take pity on me.
Si Lang,
no matter you like it or not,
facts cannot be changed.
I'm your mother anyway.
I don't have that honour.
According to my memories,
I don't have mother.
That's tonic.
Take it before it cools.
Mother,
what's up? Still worrying about 4th Brother?
These days...
he locks himself up in the house each day.
It's no good for his health if he keeps it on.
Well, look!
Still fine you have me as the son.
You make it for your 4th Brother, don't you?
Yes, I've mentioned that with other brothers.
Until then when...
we have finished making this wheelchair,
we'll take turns to push the wheelchair...
to take 4th Brother out for leisure and sun bath.
What do you think?
The time when you don't irritate me,
is the moment you're most obedient.
Peel the skins for me.
I still have to peel the skins myself.
Come on. This one is installed here.
Not like that.
Thank you.
7th Brother. Thanks.
Good girl.
Si Lang, this is...
made by Liu Lang and other brothers. Is it ok?
Try it?
I'm not interested.
Si Lang,
Eldest and 2nd brother, together with Liu Lang...
have been busy for two days making it.
Even if you don't take their good will,
could you just consider your own health...
so that try it now?
Just sit on it and try it!
I don't covet that.
Si Lang,
Si Lang, Si Lang doesn't want that!
Si Lang...
You go away!
No need to assist me to walk.
I'd rather be like a dog creeping on the ground
than to have you assisted me to walk.
Do you know what you're doing?
What do you want ultimately?
You say it!
What do you want so that you'll forgive me?
Say it! Your mother must do it.
I must follow what you say. Say it!
I won't forgive you.
I don't want anything.
I've had no parents since I was young.
No brothers either.
I don't have all these right now.
Si Lang...
Don't be like that, Si Lang!
If you wanna punish someone, just punish me.
Any kind of punishment can do.
Your mother just wants to beg you for one thing.
Don't torture yourself anymore!
Don't ruin yourself anymore!
Si Lang, your mom is begging you right now.
Si Lang.
Your mother begs you. Can you promise?
You can't tolerate anymore, can you?
Your conscience can't bear anymore, can you?
Then I ask you...
when I was discarded in the wilderness...
crying for mother,
where were you then?
When I was staying outside...
and lead a life worse than...
that of a dog,
where were you then?
You thought I died.
But I'm still alive.
Did you know that...
during the past ten years,
I've been asking...
why the heaven doesn't let me die.
Why does not let me die?
As long as I have died,
I don't need to think anymore.
And all of us...
will not owe each other anything.
Si Lang,
it's mom who has owed you.
I'm the one who made mistake.
Mom!
What're you doing?
You have gone too far!
Wu Lang.
Mom.
You don't need to defend for him.
We all have been busy for a whole day.
It's alright for him not to take our kindness.
How can he act like that?
Why is he allowed to act like that?
A person like him not knowing the good and bad,
simply isn't worth our kindness.
You've heard that.
So you don't need to please me anymore.
No use doing that.
In the past, I didn't have parents and...
brothers.
I don't have all these people right now.
You...
Don't talk about it.
Mom!
Don't talk about it.
Don't talk about anything anymore.
Mom!
Where're you going?
Give way, please.
What are you going to do?
I ask you where you're going.
Not necessary to tell you that.
You've failed your brothers' kindness.
You've broken your parent's heart.
And now you just want to go like this?
What're you talking about?
Who has broken the other's heart?
Who has failed the others?
You think it's the Yang's family owe you?
Since we have lost you,
How much tears has mother shed?
How long had she been sick for that?
How many times she mistook me for you and...
called your name when holding me? Did you know?
That's her business.
That's nothing to do with me.
You can deny you're a member of Yang's family.
But I won't let mom be drowned in grief again,
and face the pain of losing you the second time.
I tell you frankly...
among us brothers, no one likes you.
But today I...
absolutely won't let you go.
Stop it.
Young Master Si.
Yang Yan Hui, you...
Wu Lang,
he's your 4th Brother.
So what?
He even treats you like that.
Then any one can teach him a lesson.
Do you still regard me as your mother?
Mom!
You want to leave Tian Bo House, don't you?
That's right.
You can't leave here without my approval.
What empowers you to say that?
My last name is Chou.
I'm called Chou Mu Yi.
It's not your Yang Si Lang.
I don't care who you are. It's you...
said you returned to repay parents' grace.
Now you have repaid the life of your dad.
But you haven't repaid my kindness.
In this regard,
you still owe me.
That's why you can't leave...
without my consent.
What I said is right, isn't it?
Yang Hong! Yes!
Bring Young Master Si back to the House! Yes!
Young Master Si, let's go back.
General Pan...
You are back.
For the whole night yesterday,
why didn't you return?
I've been worrying about you,
and guess if you've been caught in accident.
Just thinking of sending people to find you.
I'm fine. Just because I worked late...
so I just stayed overnight at a patient's home.
I thought so.
That's right.
Last night, when you haven't been back,
your parents were very much worried about you.
But I helped comfort them.
I... I can see you're pale.
Didn't you sleep well last night?
Never mind. You just wash your face first.
I'll examine your pulse later.
If you're too tired,
you'd better take a rest before examining me.
I'm staying here all the way.
No problem. You wash the face first.
How's going, Ms. Luo?
The pulse runs harmoniously. You can go home.
What?
Your pulse is stable.
Toxin of Wushi Powder inside you has gone.
You won't addict to the drug anymore.
Congratulations!
You've successfully refrained from that Powder.
Really?
I... I've succeeded!
I've succeeded!
Ms. Lou! Ms. Lou!
I've succeeded! I've succeeded, Ms. Lou!
Ms. Lou! I've succeeded!
So... Sorry, Ms. Lou!
I... l'm just overwhelmed by joy, so that...
so that...
so that I've offended Ms. Lou.
Could you please...
forgive me?
You can now stay away from Wushi Powder.
It's really worth being happy.
At the beginning,
I didn't believe General had that determination.
Couldn't imagine that you've succeeded?
You have such persistence and perseverance...
really commendable and admirable.
That is...
if someone wants to win the others,
he has to win himself first.
Only in such circumstance he won't be defeated.
I, Pan Bao...
is basically a person never admits defeat.
Now you have refrained from your drug addiction,
then when you are home and whatever you do,
you must stay away from Wushi Powder.
Ms. Lou,
you rather quite under-evaluate me.
I said, I absolutely wouldn't admit defeat.
If I take Wushi Powder again,
doesn't mean that I slap my own face?
And then I'd be defeated by Wushi Powder?
If you say so, I'll feel easy in mind.
You'd better go back home quickly,
and tell your family such good news.
I think they must feel happy for you.
They'll be proud of you.
Good. So I have to go now!
General,
takes some more medicine with you.
Ms. Lou,
we must meet again.
Dad! Dad!
Dad!
Pao!
You're back now!
You look great!
You haven't failed Dad's expectation on you.
I've refrain from the addiction to the Powder.
Good.
You're my son only when you can do that.
Dad has also got good news for you too.
During you swear off the addiction,
Dad fiercely punished 8th Prince and Yang Ye,
and almost took their lives.
Dad, what's it all about?
What a pity, really a pity, Dad!
If I were with you,
I could have assisted Dad for that.
And 8th Prince and Yang Ye could have died. So...
the problem of them could have been solved.
Yes, you could vent spleen on them that way...
to retaliate for your aunt and uncle.
But there're advantages for them to be alive.
I've predicted long before that...
they won't let it all be.
They must try the best to accuse me.
Therefore,
I've just counterplot...
and make use of the Majesty injured me...
to make them speechless.
Then I made use of this opportunity to accuse...
the 8th Prince and Yang Ye of being arrogant...
and surpass the Majesty.
8th Prince also relies on his Golden Whip...
and disrespect the Majesty.
The Majesty has began to...
suspect them two.
Dad, you mean...
to kill somebody by another's hand.
It's pleasurable to kill the enemy by ourselves.
Kill somebody by another's hand...
could be regarded as a brilliant strategy.
But Dad,
Yang Ye and 8th Prince are not easy to deal with
I think things are not so simple.
That's something I know of course, so that...
we must act appropriately at the right moment.
Now you've come back to Dad.
Shouldn't Dad be afraid of failing to retaliate?
Dad, if you encounter anything needs me,
just instruct me to act for you.
We need time to refine our plan for this matter.
A saying reads It's not late for a good man...
to retaliate 10 years later'... Put it aside now.
Today is your mom's death anniversary.
Can you remember, Bao? Yes, of course.
You mom has passed away for so long.
But on this day every year,
Dad must take my children to tribute...
your mom and pray for her.
How could I forget all these?
You're still young when your mom passed away.
Now you have grown up.
Time goes by swiftly.
Dad,
I'm not sure if I should tell you one thing.
Say it.
Please don't get angry after I've mentioned it.
Say it.
My sister Pan Ying...
has spent so many years in Jing Xin Nunnery.
Is it the time for us to take her home?
You are never allowed to mention this person...
in front of your mom.
Dad,
Ying has grown up now.
She's been staying alone there.
Don't talk about it anymore.
Any matters can be discussed...
except this one.
You're not allowed to mention that.
Have you known about...
Si Lang's matter?
I talked with him.
Ithough his response is so emotionless and...
rejected care from his family.
But I can feel that he's struggling inside.
If he didn't expect anything from his family,
he simply did not need to come back.
I hope so.
He hasn't recovered from his injuries.
So I worry about him for leaving Tian Bo House.
Ms. Luo.
Now that the toxins inside 4th Brother has gone,
then why can't your legs move freely?
This is because previously the virulence...
solidified his blood and sap that precipitated...
at his feet, and needs Qu Ling Qi to cure.
Such herb, could only be...
found at the behind the Jing Xin Nunnery.
I prepare to go to Jing Xin Nunnery tomorrow.
If we can find Qu Ling Qi,
Si Lang's foot illness can be effectively cured.
But Jing Xin Nunnery is too far away from here.
What about...
let Liu Lang accompany you to go there?
Mom,
Let Ms. Luo stay here to take care of Si Lang.
It's fine for me to go alone.
You know that herb Qu Ling Qi?
Yes, I do.
Help!
Madam!
What happened?
People were killed inside! Help!
You stay here. I'll go inside to see what's up.
I'll go with you.
You...
You bitch!
Madam!
Do you know who did that?
I don't know. I don't know anything.
May Buddha preserve us!
Mistress
Don't worry. I already sent people to find.
I believe we must find her quite soon.
Ms. Pan comes back!
Ms. Pan is back! Ms. Pan!
Princess. Yang Liu Lang.
How come you're here?
Mistress.
How are you, Ms. Pan?
It's good you're back.
Mistress...
It's good you're back.
This time, it's luck that Mr. Yang rescued me.
May Buddha preserve us.
Take Ms. Pan inside for a rest.
Yes.
All of you can go back to work.
Yes.
Why are you together with her?
Earlier, I just passed by a small house and...
heard Ms. Pan shout for help.
I went inside to have a look and...
found dead bodies of four thieves. Their faces...
are disfigured, had suffered a lot before death.
May Buddha preserve us!
Mistress... would like to ask whether...
Ms. Pan has left family and become a nun?
Ms. Pan only stays here temporarily.
She isn't a nun but dwells here.
Right.
One thing that you'll never believe, Pan Ying...
is Prime Minister Pan Ren Mei's daughter.
What?
She has been living here since she was small.
Why did Pan Ren Mei send her here?
I don't know the reason.
I've asked her about that many times.
But she refused to tell me.
Do you always come here?
Yes, annually. To worship gods & calm my mind.
I've just arrived today and...
immediately heard about that...
Pan Ying and Mistress went for picking fruits.
And you all met thieves.
In order to protect all the people, she alone...
led away the thieves.
Ms. Pan is kind and meek in appearance.
That's not the 1 st time she rescues others.
Remember once she followed a crowd to go...
uphill to cut wood and they met a wolf there.
All the people were frightened to being stunned.
She dared stab it with a knife, other saved.
Mistress, did Ms. Pan learn Kungfu before.
Jing Xin Nunnery only imparts mantras...
but not kungfu.
Then, did she learn Kungfu outside?
How is that possible?
She's been living with me since she's a child?
Mr. Yang...
I'm only thinking that...
if today Ms. Pan...
is caught by the thieves,
I dare not imagine the results.
