Epi. 27
Master hasn't gone into the bride's room.
But Madame still didn't come out.
She's still asking us to keep waiting there.
She is pity.
It's no harm to wait for a while.
I have been working in capital for many years.
I never heard that a bride can marry without the presence of groom.
Seem like Dugu's family is fallen.
You better keep quiet.
This is rule of South.
Moreover,
old master has recognised her as daugther-in-law.
It's nothing that need you to worry.
If he really recognised her as daugther-in-law,
why there weren't many guests attend the wedding yesterday?
Be quiet.
Pay respect to Madame.
You all were busy organizing the wedding last night.
Thank for your efforts.
This is some tokens of appreciation.
Everyone is rewarded a gold bean.
Gold bean?
Thank you. Madame.
Old master would like to me prepare financial report and token for you.
He mentioned that
you would be the person in charge in this mansion in future.
I will listen to father's instruction.
Since father would like me to be head of household.
I will not reject the task.
You're all seniors in this mansion.
Hope you can work harder in future.
Yes. Madame.
Dong Qu is my personal maid.
In future,
she will also a steward in this mansion.
You all have to submit your resume within three days.
The details include your race, current position,
characteristic,
relatives' name,
the number of year you service in this mansion,
and all reward and punishment you received for all these while.
Record them down and submit to Dong Qu.
So that I can use it as reference in future.
Madame.
We don't have this practice last time.
Steward.
There is an ancient saying.
A new chief bring in new aides.
I'm young.
I don’t understand what it means.
Could you please explain to me?
Have you heard what madame said clearly?
The team leaders have to accountable for the accuracy of staff resume.
If I find any mistake or fault,
punishment will be applied to all team members.
If you don’t know how to write,
I have many maids here to assist you.
But this is too troublesome.
We have been working here for many years.
We will have hard feeling if Madame does this.
Give her forty dollars,
breach the employment contract
and ask her to leave.
Yes.
Madame.
Please spare me.
I won't do that again.
Madame.
Please spare me this time.
Madame.
I take my word seriously.
Once I say it out, there is no return.
This is always my way of doing.
If you’re not used to it,
you can tender your resignation.
Mansion won't forget to send you farewell gift.
We will strictly follow Madame's instructions.
She is a real empress's sister.
What a carrot and stick strategy.
She is powerful and prestige.
But the girl left just now,
is daugther-in-law of master's nanny.
When master comes back,
he may be angry.
Captain Du. You've come.
Dong Qu.
What happened?
Uncle Zhong
These are Madame's guards.
Please allocate Chongwu mansion for them to stay.
All expenses related to them will not charge to official account.
I will use our own money.
Madame has a troop of soldiers too?
Yes.
They are granted by His Majesty.
They have a name too.
They called Troop of Jici.
Speaking of which,
you didn’t forget that Madame is a princess, did you?
This way please.
My god.
Madame has a troop of soldiers too.
When master comes back,
I wonder who is stronger?
Exactly.
After she married, Yang Jian was given a title.
She really brings good luck to husband.
That's right.
Isn't this very obvious that emperor and empress want to support her?
Even imperial tutor sent an expensive gift
and specially mentioned that it's for her.
Seem like imperial tutor and prime minister's relationship isn't that bad.
Not really.
Otherwise, why nobody came last night,
but this morning is full house of guests?
You're right.
This is wrong.
You wrote the total income of this mansion last year
was 8210 golds.
There were 6000 golds
5.31 million dollars.
Raw silk 632 pieces.
But the worst raw silk was 12 dollar each.
Where is the difference of 6210 dollar?
I don’t know.
Take back and redo.
Once you re-calculated, resubmit to me again.
Yes.
Ms Steward is powerful.
Of course.
What a waste to be your personal maid.
I finally find a place to show my talent
by sitting here to do the calculation.
But, you're awesome too today.
Many guests came here for the intention of seeing joke
But finally, they're disappointed.
Yong is right.
All things contrived are like dream, illusion, bubble, shadow,
And as dewdrop or lightning.
If I didn’t stay strong today,
how could I pay back his effort to chanting for whole night?
So, what is your feeling to him now?
I owe him really a lot.
So, I don’t want to know whether how much I should pay back him.
Dad doesn't want me to marry him.
He has his own reason.
If Yong and I have far distance love,
I'm afraid I will make a same decision too.
He treats you really good.
But it's just too bad.
You both doesn’t have the destiny.
Who said that?
He was willing to accompany me last night,
I knew that we could still be best friend forever.
Time flies.
I didn’t realise that a day is over soon.
Let's go to sleep early.
We will back to maiden house tomorrow morning.
I wonder how dad's health condition is for today.
Don’t worry.
I have ordered someone to send a message this morning.
Old master knows that you're good here.
He becomes more spirit.
Really?
For the sake of this,
it's worth for me to marry here.
See.
You're someone's wife now.
Why do you still act like this?
Dugu Jialuo.
Princess Dugu.
Madame Yang
Please remember that you're not a doll.
So, don’t act like living for someone.
okay?
Okay.
I won't say this again in future.
What do you mean not saying this again?
I'm your maid.
You don’t have to take my word.
Can't you thrust your chest like what you did in the morning?
You're living for yourself.
I hope so.
But it is small.
No matter how I thrust,
it's still the same.
After all, you're married.
You're no longer the same.
But, you don’t have to worry.
I heard that if your husband loves you,
it will become bigger.
Dong Qu.
For you.
What's wrong with you?
What should I do?
If I see Yang Jian again,
he will become my husband.
How do I face him if so?
How?
Just let it be.
Just treat it as common matter.
Is this a common matter?
He almost become my brother-in-law.
Almost, but he is not.
In the past,
I have thinking there were many possibilities for my future.
But now,
I seem like I can follow the norm,
and have no strenght to resist.
How do you know isn't this a gift from god?
What a bad maid.
You always have many prinsciple to share.
This is the truth.
Therefore it makes sense no matter how I say.
So, this is the feeling of growing up.
We have to experience everything personally.
Apart from our own,
no one can help you to go through all these.
What?
What happened? Madame.
This is impossible.
How could Jialuo marry her?
This is impossible.
Young mistress is engaged with Mr Yang.
They will marry soon.
They can't do that.
Brother Jian is mine.
I won't let him go to others.
Quickly pack my luggage,
I want to go back to capital.
Madame. You can't go now.
It's very late now.
No matter what it is,
let's discuss again tomorrow.
He has make a swear to wait for me forever.
Stop nonsense.
I want to go back to capital. Madame.
Madame. You can't go now.
Don't stop me.
You can't go.
You really can't go. Let go of me.
I want to go back. What happened?
Master. You're just in time.
Madame… Don't stop me.
I want to see brother Jian. Madame.
Madame. You can't go. He can't do that.
Madame. Let go of me.
You can't go. Madame.
I want to go back to see brother Jian.
Let go of me. Madame.
Madame.
Please remember that you're no longer the second mistress of Dugu's family.
You're Madame of Longxi.
Send her back to rest.
Yes.
Master.
Madame is something not right.
Why not we ask doctor to come?
No.
She is not illed.
She just takes this chance to act silly.
At this point of time,
she still doesn't realise who she is.
If doctor heard about her bullshitting
and spread it out,
Duke will not come here anymore.
But Madame is really abnormal.
Master. You see.
Brother Jian.
Give this to me.
Brother Jian.
Give to me.
Today is 14th.
They already married.
You still want to cry and create trouble, don't you?
Let me tell you.
You have two choices.
First,
forget about this at all.
Continue to be your madame of Longxi.
Another choice is,
quickly go into the carriage and rush back to capital.
Ask why your brother-in-law married your sister.
Take this chance to kill your baby in your tummy.
This will be time saving.
Baby?
Yes.
I felt your pulse just now.
I couldn't be wrong.
Speaking of which,
your period hasn't come yet, right?
I have a baby?
You have two choices.
You can choose anyone of these.
But you're impulsive.
Perhap you haven't figured it out
why your father arranged this wedding urgently.
Do you think your sister really likes to take away your love?
Doesn't she?
If not, tell me the reason.
Because Dugu's family is fallen soon.
A couple of weeks ago,
His Majesty's henchman, Yu Chikang,
planned to eliminate Yuwen Hu in the name of prime minister.
But he failed.
Prime minister was dragged into this incident,
and paid for huge cost.
I was told his prime minister's position may no longer stable.
Your brother-in-law, as an emperor, will abdicate the throne soon
If I were him,
I would also arrange my daugther to Yang's family quickly,
in order to protect Dugu family safety.
This is impossible.
How could this happen?
You lie to me.
Why do I need to lie to you?
I have told you.
To me,
no matter which way you choose,
either you stay here or to leave, is the same.
Once Dugu family is fallen,
you will lost your support.
Duke will not respect you as previous.
Madame Xiu, Madame Jin, Pearl, Jake will take over you again.
I will not allow this to happen.
I still have a baby.
I can still hold this position in stable.
You're alone in Longxi with no support.
The successor of family, Li Cheng, has grown up.
Do you think you will be falled and bullied by other?
I will fight with them.
For my own good,
for my child's sake,
I will kill them all if anyone blocks me.
Furthermore,
don't I have aunty helping me?
How can you assure I will continue to help you?
Because you're fallen soon too.
Because you have no way to return.
You're the lady officer that assigned by Bore.
If she can't be empress anymore,
your honour and wealth won't be able to last long without my support.
After all, you're over thirty years old.
It's not convenient to go back to hometown.
If you have a better choice last time,
you wouldn't have come to Longxi.
So, your fate is linked with me now.
We will enjoy honor and suffer the fall together.
Not bad. What you said isn't wrong.
My effort to educate you for this whole year isn't a waste.
Madame.
This mansion will be our battlefield in future.
Remember.
When madame's prenancy is still not stable,
you shouldn't tell anyone about her pregnancy.
Young mistress would like to inform that
she is on the way now.
Come.
Let me help you to wipe.
Don’t let others to see that.
Yes.
Don’t let Jialuo to see that.
When did you come back?
Young mistress is back.
Jialuo is back.
Dad.
Jialuo.
I'm back. Jialuo.
Dad.
Jialuo.
How are you getting on for these two days?
Dad is good.
What about you?
How's your life there?
Have you used to the environment there?
Any servant or steward give you a hard time?
How could it be possible for them to give me hard time?
Who am i?
I'm dad's daugther.
You see.
You still like to speak without proper consideration.
You're now a madame.
Dad.
You have more grey hairs after two days of not seeing you.
Dad is getting old.
It's normal to have grey hairs.
Don’t you know Wu Zixu grew a head of grey hairs in a night?
Wu Zixu's has a big tummy.
The distance among his eyebrow is 3.3cm.
Dad, you shouldn't learn from him.
You must continue to be handsome.
Okay.
Then Jialuo has to make a nice hat for me.
Sure.
No problem.
Dad.
Quickly drink some soup.
Jialuo.
You drink some too.
Eat.
Initially, your sister wanted to come back to mansion this morning.
But she has nausea suddenly.
It's okay.
I will go into palace tomorrow to visit her.
Come. Dad.
Come.
Eat this.
How is it?
Is this delicious?
It's delicious.
Eat quickly. Dad.
Okay.
Dad. You eat.
Jialuo.
why do you sit alone here?
Dad.
I don’t want to go back.
May I stay in mansion?
Married woman shouldn't stay in maiden house after the return.
Okay.
After tomorrow,
you can come back anytime.
Dad is so good.
Dad.
Come.
Sit here.
Dad.
I afraid that you will worry.
So I didn’t tell you.
Yang's house is good.
But I still not used to it.
Their windows are small.
I don’t like their furnishing and decoration too.
Moreover,
I'm reluctant to be apart with you and Lihua.
Aren't you the head of their household now?
You can decorate as you like.
After all, It's your house now.
Not at all.
My real home is here.
I'm the king here.
No one can scold me.
Well.
My house is always your home.
Dong Qu told me that
you have fighthen everyone in Yang's family.
this is not bad.
But Jianer and you have strong personality.
Last time, both of you always quarrel when you met him.
But now,
you married him under this circumstance.
You must get along with him well.
I know.
My child.
Yang's family is willing to accept this marriage arrangement,
they're our great savior.
So, you have to promise dad.
If you both quarrel in future,
for the sake of your father-in-law,
you should show your tolerance to Jianer.
May be he is the one who bullies me.
I believe that Jianer won't bully you.
As for your brothers,
I have no worried about them.
After all, they're all officers and married.
It's just that I worry about three of you.
Luckily your sister has make a thoughtful thought.
She won't pursue "the legend of Dugu" anymore.
As long as she delivers baby safely,
she can enjoy life together with His Majesty after abdication.
I will nothing else to request if so.
As for your second sister.
She is arrogant.
But she is now alone in Longxi.
If I no longer here,
you both have to support each other.
Don't hate her because of previous incident.
Okay?
Touch wood.
Don’t say that.
If you miss her,
I can write her a letter.
She can come back to see you within a month.
Jialuo.
Can you promise me?
Dad.
Don’t worry.
After all,
we're still sisters.
No matter when it is,
Elder sister, second sister and me,
will support each other forever.
Eat something, please.
Who do you do this for?
I promise dad.
I will go back tomorrow.
I'm rushing to get this hat done.
So that he can wear it together.
Send this letter to imperial tutor's mansion.
Now?
Tell the guard there,
send to imperial tutor tomorrow.
Yes.
Old master.
Dad.
Give way.
Wind is blowing, rain is spattering.
Blowing up my heart.
A meeting turns into a life time memory.
Tear of a whole life,
is the destiny of loving you.
Memory is sealed.
In this life,
Use my heart to exchange your legend.
The storm and blossom beyond the great wall.
By accident, many things happened in my life.
I return back to enjoy the scene. I will always wait for you.
Although loving you may cause to a bad ending.
I'm still willing to wander together with you for my whole life.
The green mountain.
The lonely city.
Dad.
Didn’t you say you want to see me marry and wait for me to come back?
Dad.
Didn’t you promise to eat my cooking dishes?
We still have many things yet to do.
Dad.
Dad. Dad. Wake up.
Wake up.
Look at me.
My hat is still done half way.
Dad. I beg you.
I beg you. Please wake up.
I beg you.
Don't leave me alone.
Dad.
I had a long chat with you last night.
I had no regret anymore.
Moreover, I have a serious disease and getting old.
Use my life to exchange your brother is more appropriate.
After I left, please take care of mansion.
Your brother Luo is lonely and pity.
Please take care of him on my behalf.
Dad.
Don’t worry.
I will help you to uphold Dugu family.
I swear.
As long as I'm here,
Dugu family won't be fallen.
Mistress.
Bore. Mistress.
Are you okay?
I hate you.
Why am I so silly?
How could I trust a cruel person like you?
How could I agree to use my brother's life in change of another?
I swear.
This isn't my initial intention.
I have make a deal with your father,
as long as he resigns,
and pay back with a life,
this matter will be over.
He did it.
He paid back to you.
He paid back with his life.
Are you happy now?
What make me have a crash on you?
Why?
Mistress. Get out.
My biggest mistake is to fall in love with you.
You killed my child.
You killed my dad too.
I hate you.
Return my dad to me.
Bore.
Bore. Sister.
Sister. Mistress.
Quickly bring her inside.
Bring doctor over.
Bore.
Sister.
Bore. Imperial tutor.
My father just passed away.
Mansion is busy.
I'm afraid that we have no time to serve you.
Please forgive us.
Jialuo.
I didn’t mean to force your father to commit suicide.
Well. Imperial tutor.
Please remember what you promise my dad in the court on that day.
My sister is not feeling well.
I'm afraid that she will have risk of miscarry.
I need to go back to take care of her.
I will excuse myself.
If imperial tutor sends your consolation later,
we will appreciate that.
I didn’t do that.
Empress is agitated because of a bad news in sudden.
She was exhausted in the journey.
So that she is bleeding.
But, she is alright now as long as she takes a rest.
I will take my leave first.
Sister.
Doctor said that the baby is fine.
Before dad left,
he left a letter to you.
Please read it.
Bore.
I commited suicide isn't because of coward or useless.
it's after thoughtful consideration.
Because of Yu Chikang's case,
Dugu family is in the trouble.
Even I could live in disgrace,
I couldn't prevent the fallen of the family.
If I commit suicide,
the news will bring attention to the world.
Yuwen Hu will feel guilty and treat you and His Majesty better.
This will also give honour to Dugu family.
You must remember.
The baby in your tummy is the only hope to re-develop our Dugu family.
Whether your brother can be the uncle of emperor
and to rebuild Dugu's family reputation,
it's purely count on you now.
So, you must treat this seriously.
Do not feel sad because of my death.
I used to feel that I'm smart and talented.
I didn’t know that you're far sighted than me.
You're decisive,
I'm not as good as you.
Dad. Don’t worry.
For the sake of Dugu family,
for your sake,
I will take good care of myself and my baby.
Dad.
Emporer of Zhou dynasty, Yuwen Yu bestowed Dugu Xin as Duke of Wei.
and granted a mighty and loyal title to him.
Old master.
What a pity.
Prime Minister Dugu has six sons and three daugthers.
But only a youngest daugther came to send him off.
Prime minsiter is a good officer.
No choice.
You see.
He was forced to commit suicide.
He's forced by imperial tutor.
Exactly.
Even His majesty wears mourning for him.
Everyone knows that prime minister is a good officer.
He is a good officer.
Isn't he?
Among all the officers,
their family is the kindest.
A while ago,
I went to Compassion House to collect the medicine that they sponsor.
Prime minister is wronged.
His Majesty arrives.
His Majesty.
Jialuo.
Your sister is unable to come because of prenancy.
I'm here to worship on her behalf.
