Epi. 39
Madame.
You're clever.
You're good at learning by analogy and infer others.
But you still need time to understand how to do not beyond the limit.
Aunty. Thank for your lesson.
So what should I do now?
Since empress doesn’t ask you to leave the capital immediately,
you can still stay in the capital.
Empress may deliver baby in these few days.
If she delivers a baby boy,
there will be a worldwide celebration.
If she is happy,
perhap she will forgive you.
As for Mrs Yang,
she will come back the sooner or later.
At that time, you don’t have to apologize too.
It's the business among the couple,
you just pretend you know nothing.
As for General Yang,
you must not keep in touch with him anymore.
In addition,
you have to write a letter to duke,
to express your yearning to him,
keep reminding him the unfortunated baby as well.
So that if duke hears any rumous,
he will not have suspicion on you.
Madame.
Do you still remember what I told you?
You can only rely on two titles.
One is a title of duke's wife
Second is a title of empress' sister.
But empress doesn’t like you now.
If you lose duke's favour…
I know.
I will quickly go to write a letter.
Don’t worry.
Even I hate him very much,
I will still write a proper letter.
I will cut some of your hair and send into palace tomorrow.
I will say you feel shame after return.
But you dare not go in palace without permission.
So, you use your hair as an alternative
and seek for empress' forgiveness.
It's just that I don’t know my entry pass is being blocked or not.
All these were done by second mistress.
I can't believe that Mantuo will do this.
Franckly speaking,
you just met her twice in the childhood and when you back to capital.
Actually,
the person you crush on the first sight was madame,
instead of her.
But,
what if Mantuo was doing by force?
What if she was setup by her nanny?
Forgive me for being rude.
I have been sending someone to keep watch on the guest house.
I saw someone sending out a letter today.
So, I stopped them.
It's better that I read it out for you.
My dearest honey,
We're just apart for a short time,
but I'm suffering from deepest lovesickness.
You're far at the North.
How are you getting on?
It's enough.
She is now telling you she can't forget the past relationship,
at the same time,
she writes a love letter to her husband.
I say stop saying.
Go to the guest house,
tell Madame of Longxi that
I would like to meet her at Dugu's mansion.
Ask her to come on time.
Brother Jian.
Are you looking for me?
Did empress scold you when she called you to palace?
Among our sisters,
she used to side Jialuo.
Moreover, she is going to deliver soon.
She may say something rude when she is in the moment of desperation.
Don’t take it seriously.
Whether it's storm or rain,
it's also kindness of empress.
Moreover, I really did it not proper this time.
Brother Jian.
do you think I purposely incite you to have conflict with Jialuo?
Then tell me,
you asked me on that day whether I have forgotten you,
whether I have fallen in love with someone,
what did you mean?
I couldn't hold and speak out at that time.
But we're now different.
What if my answer is no?
Really?
You're not cheating?
I really haven't forgotten about you.
Brother Jian.
After hearing from you,
it's worth even someone asks me die now.
You don’t know that
I can't sleep well at all since I marry to the old man, Li Bing.
I miss you everyday.
But you still carried his baby.
Brother Jian.
I ….
I was forced to do so.
Anway, the baby is gone now.
Brother Jian.
You have promised to wait for me.
I have make up my mind.
Since he is bad to me,
he pampered concubine to bully his wife,
and assisted Li Cheng to kill my baby,
I won't be kind to him too.
As long as I deliver his second son,
I will kill him immediately.
Pardon?
You still want to help him to deliver a son?
No…
What I mean is…
You say,
I'm the only one in your heart.
Yes.
Moreover,
you hate Duke of Longxi so much.
It's true.
Then why do you want to tell him,
"being apart with him for a short time,
and you miss him so much"?
This…
This is written by Mrs Wang.
She is an officer that empress assigned to me.
This is not written by me.
It's hers.
This is not written by me.
Come with me.
Mistress.
Isn't this Madame's cart?
Why is she here again?
If you're innocent,
you make a swear in front of prime minister's memorial tablet,
saying that you didn’t know about nanny's plot at all.
And also,
you never think of to frame up Jialuo.
If you breach the swear,
you will be killed and cut into pieces.
Brother Jian.
I didn’t….
Then you swear.
I… swear.
I, Dugu Mantuo, swear…
I got it now.
Brother Jian.
Listen to my explanation.
I thought I'm clever.
But I didn’t expect that I would be cheated by you.
I even felt that you're pity,
and Jialuo wasn't generous enough.
Brother Jian.
You have misunderstood me.
Madame.
Please respect yourself.
Brother Jian.
Please don’t call me so.
Madame.
Yang Jian is young and immature.
I have promised you before,
but you lied to me first.
So, don’t ever mention about this promise again.
Brother Jian. Don’t go.
Brother Jian. Listen to me.
Listen to me once.
Please.
I was doing it without other alternative.
There were reasons why I did that.
Young mistress.
Let's go.
Brother Jian.
Why don’t you ever think that….
Seem like, it’s not a good timing to come back.
how was I getting on in Longxi where I knew no one there.
But I can guarantee,
I really love you sincerely.
It's true.
If in the past,
when I see you're crying,
I will feel heart breaking.
But it's strange,
I have no feeling at all now.
Brother Jian.
He doesn’t believe me.
It's over.
What to do now?
Dad doesn’t help me either.
General.
I really can't stand it anymore.
Young mistress came back just now.
Why did you piss her off again?
You mean Jialuo came back just now?
You don’t know that?
Too bad.
Jialuo.
Jialuo. Wait for me.
Don’t go over.
Young master. Please go back.
Mistress doesn’t want to see you now.
Don’t move.
It's just a misunderstanding.
She insisted to hug me.
I'm an idiot.
Now I only know what type of person she is.
I won't keep in touch with her anymore.
Jialuo.
From now on till the moment I die,
I will only love you.
You're willing to look at me now?
Because you're a stupid.
If I ignore you,
you will be stupid forever.
Jialuo.
I'm sorry.
I know the truth about the accident and the marriage arrangement.
I'm really silly and being cheated all the way by her.
But she is still Dugu's family,
I can't describe her badly.
But our relationship is broken.
Your relationship with her is none of my business.
It's your business.
Who don't know that you're the head of the family?
I'm silly.
You have to take care of me.
Jialuo.
I'm sorry.
You took me into consideration
and allowed me to spend time with Mantuo,
but i…
Jialuo.
I will love and respect you forever.
Believe me.
Believe me this time, okay?
Okay.
I believe you.
You believe me so easily?
Because I love you.
I don’t want to let myself regret.
Who is lying on the window to daydream the past?
Where is my beautiful scene?
Hair turns grey and upsets the autumn.
I was doing wrong on that day too.
I wanted to show that I was generous,
but at the end, I was narrow-minded.
I'm a fool.
I say I believe you,
I will really forget all the unhappy things in the past.
But my trust will only be given for once.
If one day,
you betray what you say today….
It won't happen.
I'm not an empress who needs many concubines.
It's enough to have you in my life.
So,
you have done wrong just now.
But I forgive you.
When the tear will cover your face?
Second mistress.
You can't go in.
Open the door.
It is not that I don’t want to follow instruction
Young mistress has instructed that
no outsider can go inside here.
Am I outsider?
Don’t forget that my surname is Dugu.
Anyone doesn’t follow master's instruction,
there is a punishment by law.
He will have to suffer stick punishment for 30 times, and be banished.
Second mistress.
you're a daugther who married out.
You're no longer one of the mansion.
Old master mentioned that
this mansion would be taken care by young mistress after he left.
Young mistres?
I think you didn’t respect me at all as a princess of the country.
Bang the door for me.
This…
I really want to see who can stop me today.
No. You can't bang it.
What happened?
Why do you come out?
This child can't come out in public.
It's infectious disease.
This…
Is this the reason that you disallow me to go in?
Tell me.
Who is this girl?
She is an orphan of Compassion House.
She got a strange disease.
Young mistress isolates her here.
No one can go in.
I'm worried that you will be infected,
so I block you just now.
Really?
I dare not lie to you.
Madame.
Luggages are packed.
Would you like these luggages to send to guest house first,
or send into your cart?
I only married once.
Are you willing to see me marry in such a poor condition?
Mantuo.
Paths are made by men.
You better take care of yourself in future.
Let's go.
What happened?
The servant in the mansion told me that
young mistress and Mr Yang go back to capital together.
Really?
Guard received order and passed message to mansion.
Mr Yang would like mansion to get prepare.
Let's go.
For the sake of little baby,
you must drink more.
Imperial doctor says that
your body is too weak.
You shouldn't be careless.
The most important thing now is to calm your mind.
His majesty is worried about your health condition.
He goes to Guanyin temple everyday to beg for blessing.
There is no news about Jialuo now.
How do you want me to be at ease?
General Yang Jian and princess are waiting to see you.
Sister.
You this silly girl.
You make me worried.
Sister.
Empress.
Yang Jian was silly last time.
So that I make you angry,
and make Jialuo felt sad.
But I awakened now.
Jialuo no longer angry me.
You both have make up?
I'm willing to swear with my family's reputation,
I will not have second woman in this life, except Jialuo.
Stop fooling me.
Say clearly.
What's your feeling to Mantuo?
Apart from in-law relationship,
there is nothing else.
Alright.
How can you guarantee?
Sister.
There is no need to guarantee.
I trust him this time.
This is enough.
He is a bit silly.
Therefore, he has done many things to make people sad.
But I will look after him in future,
perhap he will become smarter.
That's right.
I would like you to look after me forever.
If I knew that both of you could make up easily,
I didn’t have to be a bad person
to summon him to palace and scold him.
Sister.
It's good that everything is over.
Come.
You go back first.
Why you still kneel here?
Tell you.
Dad's mourning periof is over soon.
You all must quickly prepare your room.
The most important thing is consummation of marriage.
Do what you should do.
I'm going to deliver a baby few days later.
But you don’t have any pregnancy news yet.
After I deliver,
I may not have time to take care of the affair of imperial court,
please help His Majesty to share his burden.
Well. You all leave first.
Go.
You should put this mirror in the middle of window.
So that the light exposure will be better if sitting here.
Yes.
This has to put at the right hand side.
Isn't this more convenient to make up?
Yes.
Okay.
You all leave now.
I do it myself.
Yes.
Indeed.
First, take this.
Right hand side.
Isn't this more convenient?
right?
So, this has to put here.
Alright.
Could it be that after persuade sister,
I have to convince you once again?
I'm not gullible and be cheated by his word.
I just believe that he's really clear-headed this time.
Hey,
didn’t you say before,
doing business is like gambling.
I trust him.
so I would like to bet for once.
If I lose,
I won't have regret.
Sister Lu also advised me not to be like her.
She is now regret.
If he let you lose the bet again,
we will let him unable to go to casino forever.
Alright.
Ms Dong Qu is farsighted and prudent.
Speaking of which,
why didn’t you tell empress about Madame Lu's matter?
If the overlord of Qi passes away,
the world will be disordered again.
Sister is going to deliver,
how can I make her worry again?
Furthermore,
my relationship with sister Lu is personal matter,
it's not a national rapport.
I have to respect the trust.
So that I will cover up this matter.
Just tell brothers to pay attention to the safety of boundary
and to prevent enermy's attack.
Here you are.
Come to have a look.
I set up all these for you.
And this make up table as well.
I know you love to make up.
So, I have set up for you.
There are all good.
Oh. Yes.
And this tent.
I don’t know what you like.
so I keep this here.
Do you want to..
There is no need.
It's good too.
I have stayed here before.
There is not necessary to decorate the room again.
It's different now.
Last time, you were unwilling to move in.
This time, I want us….
Anyway,
everything has to be new and follow your preference.
I just bought it.
It's soft.
Come. Sit down.
I know.
You don’t have to be so careful when treating me.
I told you I was no longer angry.
People said that
when two persons getting along,
we shouldn't be act with due care and respect.
Then what if I make a mistake to piss you off again?
Then I will scold you.
If you still can't realise,
I will beat you.
Then you must beat me harder.
I'm strong man,
I don't scare of pain.
Then,
should I use whip or sword cover?
Use this.
Ask the world,
how many years will take to pump into each other.
No. No.
Dad's mourning period is still not over.
Well.
Then I will go to office first.
Why do you go to officer?
My beautiful wife is next to me.
But I can only see her and can't touch at all.
I must release my anger through working.
I go now.
I'm not coming back for dinner.
I will bring back your favorite cookies later.
You have three more days.
Remember to move back here after that.
Sir.
Mistress.
Yuwen Yong is back.
He is now at the backdoor.
How are you getting on?
Thank for your concern.
I heard from imperial brother that
you have make up with Yang Jian.
Second sister will no longer become our obstacle among us.
That's great.
Oh. Yes.
I'm coming back here to farewell.
Imperial brother worries that
the politic will become unstable when empress delivers baby.
So, General Yang is transferred back to capital
I volunteer to be a governor and replace General Yang to guard in Puzhou.
Why?
Because many people know about my matter in the capital.
But you still have to live happily with him in the future.
So, it’s better that I leave.
This is not necessary.
We're faith and righteous.
We're not afraid of rumous.
But I can't hold it.
Just like I'm seeing you now,
I just …
When I see you feeling sad,
but I can't do anything.
so, it's better that not seeing it.
Yong.
You don’t have to do anything for me.
You have done more than enough.
It's not doing for you.
I do it for myself.
Furthermore,
the transfer to Puzhong is different from expel to Tongzhou.
I have imperial brother's support.
I have military power in my hand too.
I have learnt the art of war since young,
isn't it because of this?
Yong.
don’t call me Yong.
Call me brother Yuwen.
In future,
I will be your brother.
Don’t worry.
I will forget you one day, and fall in love with other lady.
Perhap, I need sometime.
Jialuo.
Take care.
May I go to see Lihua?
Slower.
You see this.
Lihua. Lihua.
Don’t cry.
Do you miss dad?
Let's dad play with you, okay?
Come.
Be good. Lihua.
Dad is not doing well.
Beat me. Beat me.
Come.
Let me tell you.
I will come to see you more often, okay?
Don’t cry.
Really?
I saw it personally.
You wanted me to bribe Yuwen Yong's follower.
I have tried best to make the arrangement.
But I worried that the result won't show so soon
and I felt uncomfortable to get someone to do it.
So I went there personally.
Good job.
As my expectation,
this little bitch is Jialuo and his daugther.
Yang Jian.
You treat me as an used shoe,
but treat her as treasure.
However, she betrays you deliberately.
Brother Jian.
You better follow me.
Otherwise, if this issue discloses,
it's harmful to you and Dugu's family.
What do you want again?
It's not that.
It's you who being frame up and you didn’t realize.
Follow me.
For the sake of our previous relationship,
I won't waste your time for this visit.
Why do you look for me secretly?
Brother Jian. Keep calm.
I'm showing you something great.
Isn't this Dugu's mansion?
What do you want to show me?
Keep calm.
It's hard to find a place that can see clearly.
Do you know who is she?
You bring me here to see a little girl?
What a boring activity.
Sorry for excuse myself.
Wait.
Brother Jian.
Why don’t you see carefully,
who does she look alike?
Don’t you ever think that
why there is an isolated yard in Dugu's mansion?
And why an unknow girl is hiding inside?
This little girl is less than two years old.
Her name is Lihua.
Her biological father is Yuwen Yong.
As for her biological mother,
do you think who is she?
Don’t bullshit.
Come in.
Yuwen Yong came back to capital in the spring of two years ago.
Young mistress stayed in Compassion House at that time.
In the autumn time,
Lihua was sent into the mansion.
Steward kept on reminding us that
she was a orphan,
and disallowed outsiders to go in to the side yard.
But I personally heard that
little master called young mistress as mother,
and called Yuwen Yong as dad.
Stop saying.
Leave now.
Brother Jian. If you feel that I frame up Jialuo,
why not you ask the nanny by youself?
Oh. Yes.
You can also ask the guard to interrogate
how often does Yuwen Yong come to visit Lihua.
That's true too.
Father and daugther relationship are deep.
I think Jialuo doesn’t have intention to lie to you purposely.
Yuwen Yong is her good buddy since childhood.
But dad arranged her to marry Li Cheng.
She felt very sad.
Speaking of which,
when elder sister married,
they're very close to each other in the back yard.
We saw them personally, didn't we?
The marriage arrangement was gone finally.
Yuwen Yong treated her nicely.
Due to the excitement of love,
it's logic to have a baby.
It's enough.
Don’t say anymore.
Brother Jian.
I know you're angry.
But I'm doing for your good.
I don’t want you to be a turtle and doesn’t know anything.
Brother Jian.
Jialuo isn't as good as what you think.
She is same as me,
She has cheated you.
This is our own business.
It's none of you business.
Madame.
How come he has this reaction?
This is right.
I understand him very well.
If he pretends nothing happen,
he actually take it seriously.
Young master.
You come out finally.
It's not easy to make up with young mistress.
Why do you entangle with her again?
Faithful advices are unpleasant to hear.
Shut up.
General Yang. General Yang.
Yes.
General Yang visits us suddenly.
Is there any matter?
Where are you going?
His Majesty would like to transfer your dad to imperial court.
I replace him as a governor of Puzhou.
Why I don’t know you are going to replace him?
His Majesty just sent out decree in the last two days.
I just get ready in advance.
Why do you rush here?
What is the matter?
You all can leave now.
It's about Jialuo?
I want to know who is this little girl Lihua?
How do you know that?
Jialuo won't tell you this.
Tell me.
Who disclose the news?
This is not important.
If you're a man,
you should admit what you have done.
What to admit?
What else can this be?
Is the girl's surname Yuwen?
Are you guessing Lihua is Jialuo and my daugther?
Isn't this true?
I can't tell you about this.
You have to ask Jialuo.
Why?
You dare not ask her?
You're afraid that if she knows you've realized about this matter,
both of you can no longer make up?
You really don’t want to tell?
Well.
If you want to know,
I can tell you that Lihua is Yuwen's next generation.
She really called me as dad.
Are you happy now?
Why?
You dare not beat me?
You worry that if Jialuo know that, she will be angry?
Yang Jian.
I really want to give you hard time for few days.
You're really a perfect match with Dugu Mantuo.
Both of you are stupid.
What make you so focus?
It's nothing.
I'm reading the new map.
Aren't you having a meeting?
Where are they?
It's getting late.
They have gone back.
That's good.
Since they're not here,
you can enjoy your meal properly.
Are you hungry?
I specially asked steward and cooked your favorite dish.
What's wrong?
Are you hungry?
Eat.
Take it.
Jialuo
Tell me.
Do you still love Yuwen Yong?
