♫ Pushing open the windows and looking out, the scenery is breathtaking ♫
♫ The beauty of the spring flower is unforgettable ♫
♫ Lush and ruthless, but always fascinating ♫
♫ Getting drunk alone, I temporarily forget your scent ♫
♫ Beside the broken bridge, loneliness hid under the rocks ♫
♫ The liveliness belongs to the passerbys ♫
♫ Drowning my sorrows with wine, the prosperity can't hide the sorrow ♫
♫ I'm left with the deep feelings alone, missing you with nothing to rely on ♫
♫ I don't wish to admit that this was just a dream ♫
♫ I don't want to see the separation, everything for naught ♫
♫ Past midnight, I allow the sound of the flute to ponder upon the past ♫

[Episode 41]
Faster! Faster! We are running late! - Lady,
Lady.
This is the first test. I can't be late.
I'm early.
- Take a seat. - I should stand.
You stand all day. Take a seat and rest.
Huh.
You're so early.
Lady, you're here.
I'm early to present tea to you.
Quick.
Mother in law. Please enjoy.
Good girl.
I thought you couldn't get up this early.
I didn't expect you know the courtesy so well. Get up.
Sit down.
You guys can leave us now.
I need to have a talk with my daughter in law.
Did Chunyu bother you last night?
Huh?
Forget it. You girls are always shy.
You don't need to talk about it.
I know you don't have a family member around.
If Chunyu bullies you in the future, tell me and I will be on your side.
Yes. Heart.
You know Chunyu is not my biological son.
So it's natural that he has a problem with me.
It's hard for me to be a stepmother.
I know it's wrong to treat him bad.
But if I treat him too well,
people will say I'm being fake.
Now it's good that you're here.
You should do us a favor in the future.
Be assured, mother in law. I will.
Chunyu is the eldest son and the heir of our Mansion.
He will be a duke in the future.
My son Chunfeng is not successful.
Chunfeng and I will have to take Chunyu's attitude from now on.
So, Jingxuan. You need to help me when the time comes.
Mother in law. You're making this sound too serious.
Chunfeng's wife is Princess Liuli.
When Princess Liuli is involved, the Older Princess is also involved.
You don't need my help.
I should be grateful if Liuli doesn't override me.
Servants!
Lady. Where's the second concubine?
We have called her several times.
But Xiaoya has been shutting us down.
She said Princess Liuli is still resting.
Knock on the door and wake her up then.
Chunfeng went to the Parliament with his father a long time ago.
How long is she planning to sleep?
Go!
Mother in law. You're in a bad temper this early in the morning.
Blaming me for getting up late?
Why don't you ask your son what he did last night?
Shut up!
What happens in the bedroom...
shouldn't be talked about so casually.
Wow. She just asked me about it.
Talk about double standards.
Princess, hi!
Chunfeng was crying, drinking and talking to me last night.
He was talking about how for so many years he's been bullied at home.
Mother in law, did you misunderstand what I said?
Here. Have some tea.
You need to be on your knees when you present tea.
I am royalty. I shouldn't kneel in front of you.
Since ancient times, presenting tea to the parents after you get married...
is the customs. When the Emperor gets married,
he has to follow the customs.
What? You think you're more of a royalty then the Emperor?
I didn't.
I am presenting tea.
What more do you want?
Jingxuan is the eldest daughter in law and the wife of the heir.
In the future she will be the hostess of the family.
You have to present tea to her too.
- Impossible! - How dare you!
It's not that I don't want to present tea to sister in law.
It's just normally I would present tea to the Emperor and the Royal Auntie.
I don't think sister in law can take this tea.
I can't take it. It's ok. No big deal.
It's just a cup of tea.
You're being wise.
Slow down.
You're a daughter in law, not some royal Buddha!
Since you see us as your subordinates,
how could we treat you as family?
What do you mean?
Since you're not family, I will go into the Palace tomorrow...
and plead guilty to the Emperor and Older Princess.
I will ask them to get you, the royal Buddha back!
You're dismissing me?
How dare you?
Wait, there's no need for this.
Calm down, you two.
I don't want to get ugly. Since ancient times, when you get married, you do what the husband says.
Don't blame me for playing the mother-in-law card.
Fine. It's just a cup of tea.
I will present it.
Sister in law, enjoy your tea.
Wow, sorry. Slippery hands.
Liuli, stop!
Wow, slippery hands?
You think you are a celebrity who liked the wrong tweet?
Aiyah.
Did you get burned?
Mother in law. You're so kind.
I made you suffer.
Princess. Please forgive me.
It was the Lady who asked me to send the tea and snacks to the first wife's room.
Since it was the Lady who asked, you should beg her for forgiveness.
What are you begging me for?
Stop!
Stop it! What are you doing?
Don't you have eyes? Can't you look?
You can come at me if you have a problem with me.
Why take it out on a little girl?
You have the mother in law's favor. How dare I have a problem with you?
But this girl belongs to me.
I can beat her however I want.
This is none of your business.
Continue.
You can't.
Girl, are you ok?
I am fine. Thank you eldest lady.
Are you from the Palace?
No, I was bought by the butler.
Since she's not from the Palace,
she's not your girl. She belongs to the Xia Family.
I need someone who can serve me.
Do you want to work for me?
I...
Don't be afraid of her. Even though she's the princess,
she can't do whatever she wants in Xia family.
I want to.
That's good.
Princess, listen up.
This girl is mine from now on.
If you want to beat a dog, you have to look at who the owner is.
Bullying her would be the same as bullying me.
You think the title of the first daughter in law can contain me?
Of course not.
Titles like first daughter in law, princess, eldest son, eldest lady... they don't mean anything.
What the Princess really cares about...
would be the fact that I can sleep in the same room as Xia Chunyu and you can't.
I'm taking off. Bye.
- Suxin, you can't go! - Let her go!
Princess.
What a princess. So vicious.
She's the standard No.2 evil female character in a TV show.
She would've beaten you to death if it weren't for me.
I will help you... don't move.
Ok. The back is fine. Let me check out your arms.
Lady, you have done so much for me already. I will take care of the arms.
It's ok. I will help. It's faster this way.
No need, lady. You're so kind to me.
I have to pay for this in the future.
Fine. You win.
You do it yourself then.
Eldest young master.
You.
What did she tell you?
She's a liar. You can't trust her.
What's wrong with you? Calling her a liar as soon as you meet her?
She's not only a liar. She was the one who tried to kill me on our wedding day.
What?
Eldest young master. You've mistaken me for someone else.
I don't know martial arts at all.
Right.
She doesn't...
Is this the injury you got from fighting me on that day?
What are you doing? You can't just touch a girl.
I saw her getting beaten by Liuli today.
I got her to work with me when I saw her getting bullied by Liuli.
That's fake. That's the trick. Remember?
Fine. Since you said she's the assassin,
I'm asking you, do you remember what you said to me on the wedding day?
You said you didn't see the face of the assassin clearly.
Now Suxin doesn't know martial arts. The wounds don't match.
How could you say she's the assassin? Based on your craziness?
Of course I saw it clearly!
Her face. Her outfit.
I will never forget it!
I didn't have enough time to tell you that much.
You can't keep this woman here.
I can let you live if you get the hell out of here now.
No! Xia Chunyu, you have broken two vows already.
First, you lied to me. Second, I am in charge of the family business.
Now it's not the time to talk about vows.
She wants to get close to you and win your sympathy.
There's a conspiracy behind it. Believe me.
Lady, master. Don't fight.
If the master doesn't like me, I can go.
Lady, you saved my life. I shouldn't cause you any trouble.
Suxin. Do you know if you go now, Liuli will beat you to death!
Lady, let me go.
Listen to me! Suxin!
Did you see? Someone so weak.
How could she be the assassin?
I know you're saying she's faking.
Let's keep her, ok?
Let's see what kind of conspiracy she's plotting!
You would be in danger with her around!
I am not scared!
Fine.
Don't be afraid. With me here, Chunyu won't do anything to you.
For so many years, I always wanted to get away from the power struggle in this family.
Everybody tries to hurt each other.
Can't believe I can't get away at the end.
Qingliu.
She looks exactly like you.
I don't think that's a coincidence.
Somebody is trying to play the same trick.
I won't let them get away with this.
I won't let anyone hurt the one I love the most.
Qingliu. Have you prepared my tea for me?
What are you doing?
It's the lady.
Qingliu tried to kill the eldest son. It's a heinous crime. Hit her!
Lady!
Stop beating her!
Ah!
Stop hitting her!
Qingliu! Qingliu!
Qingliu!
It's on fire!
No need to worry. It's not on fire.
I am trying to make something new.
It's you!
What? You know me?
You're King Yu. You lost your memory.
What are you doing?
I am making a kind of medicine that can test if someone's telling the truth or not.
With this medicine, no one will lie anymore.
Lie-testing medicine?
Right.
Are you a scientist or Doraemon?
Huh? What does that mean?
Oh. I am saying you're very impressive.
Actually, people think I'm being crazy for doing this.
I am living in someone else's home. I could only do things people look down upon.
Hey, I'm telling you. You can't look down on yourself.
You don't know if these inventions of yours....
might be useful some day.
You're so good at comforting people.
No wonder Chunyu likes you and had to marry you.
I don't want to talk about him.
You get busy then. I will leave you to it.
Ok.
Young lady. Lady wants to see you.
Ok. Let's go.
Mother in law. You want to see me?
Take a seat.
This is the white fungus soup I made for you.
Taste it.
Drink some more.
Get healthy and have a big fat son.
What?
I want to ask if you know there's a lone grave in the back mountain.
There's not even a name on the tombstone.
So you found out about it. Didn't Chunyu tell you?
I got in a fight with him for a maid.
I suspect there's some relations between this maid and the owner of the tomb.
But it's awkward for me to ask Chunyu directly.
Chunyu was picked up and returned to the family...
when he was 10.
The way he looked back then...
He looked like a little monk.
He couldn't get along with the other kids.
Except King Yu.
When he was 13,
his father sent the maid Qingliu to his room.
His father thought having a girl around would change his personality.
But as days go by, Qingliu wanted to be the first wife.
She even poisoned Chunyu and tried to confuse him.
Of course I couldn't sit and watch that happen.
So, I asked people to beat her.
Who knows those servants were beating her a little too hard.
Is that why Chunyu had a problem with you?
It's a coincidence that Suxin and Qingliu look alike.
Who knows, after all these years,
Chunyu can't get over that.
Suxin is just a maid.
She's not worth breaking up the two of you.
So he still loves that Qingliu.
Otherwise he wouldn't react so strongly.
Look at you. Are you jealous of a dead person?
Relax. Chunyu loves you.
I thought so too.
But he has so many secrets I don't know.
This tea is great.
This is your favorite osmanthus tea.
Have you forgotten?
You.
Why are you so surprised?
Are you afraid that I poisoned the tea?
What are you and your boss planning?
I am just a maid.
What can I do to you?
It's just
still has a place in your heart.
You think too highly of yourself.
I'm telling you. I wouldn't have mercy when I kill you.
Is that so?
If that's the case,
I couldn't have escaped on your wedding day.
You could try.
Young master! You...
What are you doing?
Chunyu, you...
Get up. What are you doing?
Treating a maid like this. That's too far!
Do you even know what this person was doing?
I don't care. What I saw was a master...
bullying a maid!
Yaoyao!
Lady, are you alright? Lady!
Yaoyao, are you ok?
Get out!
Young lady.
Ah!
Xiaoya. You knocked over Lady Eldest Master. Apologize.
Lady? I only saw a chef.
What? You were bragging about how well your relationship went a few days ago.
You're now getting all upset over a maid?
Look, what I can't get, you can't get either.
Do you want me to help you stand up?
Lady! Lady are you ok?
It's all my fault.
How dare you show your face?
It has nothing to do with her.
What a heart-warming scene.
Ye Jingxuan lost this vow.
She must be very upset.
Lady, what's your next plan?
Release the bait.
Wait for the fish to get hooked.
I don't understand what you mean.
Xia Chunyu has a copy of this vow.
Ye Jingxuan has one too.
Now that there's a crack in their relationship,
Ye Jingxuan will blame Xia Chunyu for it.
Xia Chunyu's copy of the vow...
seems especially important.
Take it. Burn it.
Yes, lady.
Chunyu.
Mingyu.
- How is she? - Lady Xia already got her a doctor...
before you did.
This is all my fault.
I should've told her the truth and not hide it from her. I deserve this.
Don't blame yourself. You have your difficulty.
I am so afraid of losing her.
You are too cautious.
She was used by Lady Xia because of this weakness of yours.
Are you feeling better?
What is wrong with Chunyu?
How could he hit you?
I don't want to be with him anymore.
What are you talking about?
I had a vow with him.
That means my marriage with him is a complete sham.
I don't want to keep pretending, not even for a second.
I have made up my mind.
Where is my vow?
Lady.
Have you seen an envelope in these clothes?
It's a golden envelope, with a piece of paper in it.
We would have examined it before washing, if there' anything.
Stupid mule! Get out!
Stupid mule!
Yaoyao. Are you feeling better?
Did you take away my vow?
Do you want everyone to know our secret?
Why can't you admit it if you did it? According to the vow, the contract terminates as long as one side violates the rules.
Did you take away my copy because you didn't want to lose?
In your heart, our love and trust worth nothing?
Love? Can you explain why you care about Suxin so much?
How can I make you believe it?
I know I am being dramatic.
If a character like me appears in a TV show, I would be the first one to attack her in on-screen live comments.
But I can't help it. I don't understand and I am angry.
You're not being dramatic. You're just being silly.
If you want my copy of the vow, it's in the drawer of my study. You can go get it whenever you like.
Also, since you married into the family,
you are my wife.
You can't just enter and exit whenever you want.
If you leave this family,
I would be the only one against Liuli.
How about this? I will go talk to Chunyu.
I will apologize to him.
Lady, I'm sorry. I made up my mind.
Even though I like you a lot, we are not meant to be mother and daughter in law.
I can't convince you to keep suffering.
If you really don't want to give up the benefits on the vow,
how about this?
The old master can seek justice for you.
Old master.
Jingxuan.
Why are you still calling me that?
I want to ask you...
to allow me to divorce Xia Chunyu.
What? - You heard right.
I am leaving this family and getting what I deserve.
Father.
Sister in law, is your injury getting better?
I heard Chunyu hit you for a maid.
He injured you?
Is that true?
Is that what this is all about?
- No... - I heard that maid looks...
exactly like Chunyu's old maid.
Was it because you were jealous and giving the maid a hard time?
Someone so gentle and polite like Chunyu...
How could he hit his new wife?
Don't listen to her bullshit!
Master, my marriage with Xia Chunyu has been a trade deal from the start.
I married into the family only because Xia Chunyu didn't want to marry the princess.
He signed the contract with me.
Now I can only ask for your help.
This...
How dare you?
Master...
Princess Royal is here!
Xia Chunyu. How impressive.
Pretending to be a loyal lover in front of me.
Turns out it's just business.
I want to know, what kind of contract is it...
that makes you lie to me like this?
Stop it!
No.
Wenzhen.
Give me the letter.
Ye Jingxuan.
This is the contract for your marriage?
It's not?
Xia Zhuofeng. Look at what your son did.
He secretly met with Ximin's ambassador.
He even called him his lord.
Who's his lord? What is he doing? Treason?
[Letter to the Envoy of Ximin]
This... how is this possible?
This envelope used to contain the contract of our marriage.
How could it be something like thi?
I don't care if it's a mistake or not.
I don't care if you pretend to be innocent so you can get away with this.
Xia Chunyu's wild ambition is harmful to the country.
Now we have proof. Guards!
Your Highness. This is very questionable. You can't make a judgement so soon.
Shut up!
I'm already showing mercy by not charging you for covering up for him!
Royal Auntie, calm down.
