[ I Will Never Let You Go ]
[ Episode 2 ]
Uncle Jiu! The God of Wealth has spoken!
Some deities probably saw that we are living so poorly, and couldn't bear to watch us suffer,
so he threw down some money for us!
If I said Lotus Robe Knight gave it to me, would you believe me?
How many times have I told you? Don't talk to people, and don't do business with others.
Why don't you listen to me?
Uncle Jiu, I only did this because you were coughing so bad.
Hence, I thought of selling some rice from the east to the west side of the prefecture, to earn some money for your treatment.
Besides, it's been so long, and nobody noticed me.
All your enemies must have given up already.
Stupid and arrogant!
They will never give up hunting us.
By doing this, you are putting yourself in danger. Don't you know that?
I don't! You've never told me anything!
How can I tell what's dangerous and what's not?
It's for your own good that I kept these things away from you!
It's also for you that I'm trying to make money!
You have been begging for decades and now your health is ruined!
With you coughing like this, how can I not save money to get you a doctor?
I am fine. I'll be cured in a few days. You don't need to worry about me.
I don't need to care?
You have been coughing for months!
You always do that, pretend that you are tough.
It's the same with coughing and begging. You clearly are not suited to be a beggar, but you insist on being one!
If it's not because of my wit, you wouldn't even have any food.
Yes.
I am useless.
Uncle Jiu, how about this...
You have found out anyway.
Let's use this money and cure you.
Then when you get better, I promise I will never do any business.
I promise I will listen to you.
If I don't keep my word,
I will become like Ah Huang.
Don't be angry anymore. Uncle Jiu, come.
Come on, eat. This is getting cold.
From now on, you will listen to my words?
Yes.
Eat now.
Slowly, don't choke yourself.
Watch out.
Uncle Jiu!
Uncle Jiu, what happened?
Don't scare me, Uncle Jiu!
Doctor, what's going on? What happened to my uncle?
How can he just pass out?
His disease has been there for years.
It's too late. All the organs are shutting down.
I think you better prepare for his funeral rather than wasting your time.
I thought he was just coughing.
How can you tell me there's no cure for coughing?
Doctor, please save my uncle. He is the only relative I got.
Please save him.
Miss, please get up.
Miss, I want to save your uncle, but I can't.
But I heard there's a special medicine in Yaoling Manor.
It's called Spring Revival Pill.
It takes three years to collect all the ingredients for the medicine.
And it takes another year to make it. It's very precious.
But the price is so high, normal people cannot afford it.
The owner there is a very kind man.
You might be able to give it a try.
I will go there right now.
Young master, I have asked around. That medicine businessman has gotten away,
and it was Yaoling Manor who reported the case. But...
How come they got news so quickly?
Besides, it was a group of robbers. How did it become a solo job by Lotus Robe Knight?
Those robbers were following the businessman.
And now they reported to the officials that it was Lotus Robe Knight who stole it?
How could they've gotten the news so fast?
Unless, their people were following the businessman.
Or could it be Yaoling who did it?
Young Master?
What's on your mind? You have been thinking about it for so long.
That girl has business opportunities, but couldn't do them.
And her uncle insisted that she pretend to be a homeless beggar.
Thinking about it, her story doesn't stand at all.
Then Young Master, should we look more into it?
No need.
My father has looked into it already, why bother.
Let's go to Yaoling Manor and take the Spring Revival Pill first,
then investigate their background. As for the others, don't bother with it.
Yes.
I am the owner of Yaoling Manor, Lin Mantang.
Young Lord, how should I address you?
I didn't know you were coming, Heir Apparent (Prince's heir). Sorry for not welcoming you. Please forgive me. (T/N: Heir Apparent (shizi) refers to the eldest/destined heir of a nobility rank/duties)
Get up.
Sit.
Thank you, Your Highness.
I am here asking medicine for my Royal Father.
I don't want others to know my identity.
I understand.
Even if you lend me courage, I wouldn't dare tell this.
I heard your Spring Revival Pill can raise people from death.
Sorry to embarrass myself. All are just exaggerated rumors.
To raise people from death is not possible.
But to prolong people's lives, it is quite effective.
Even when people are dying, when you use this,
you can have another couple of months.
Can you sell me a couple pills of it?
Our manor should give it to you for free.
We cannot call it a sale.
We have two more in the house.
I will ask people to fetch them for you.
- Butler. - Master.
Go to the medicine stock room and take the last two pills for the Young Lord.
Yes, My Master.
Thank you for the kindness.
I heard you are the biggest family here in Xizhou.
Your house is the most luxurious, not paling in comparison with the houses in the capital.
I really want to see it.
It's really nothing. We are just a humble household in the countryside.
Only the place is big. It's nothing compared to the mansions in the capital city.
If you want, I would like to show you around.
Let's go then.
Please.
[Yaoling Manor]
Open the door! Open the door!
- Coming! Coming! - Open the doors!
I...
Go away. There are a few days till we have our porridge give out.
I am not here to beg. I am here to buy your medicine.
- What medicine? - Spring Revival Pill
You want to buy the Spring Revival Pill?
You know how expensive that is?
- I have— - With one thousand tael of silver, you still might not be able to buy it.
Besides, we only have two now. Off you go.
I only need one.
I have more than 50 taels of silver here.
Look. If these are not enough, I can pay you every month.
If that's not enough, I can sell myself to your manor
and do manual labor. I am very smart.
I didn't expect a beggar like you to have so much money.
I told you, even if you have the money, you can't buy it.
Our master just sold the pills to one young master surnamed Chen.
You should go now.
No, I need the pill!
Go go. Get out.
Open...
I redecorated these all by myself.
Your Highness.
Young Lord Chen, how long do you plan on staying here in Xizhou Prefecture?
Two or three days. This area is too remote. There's nothing fun for me to do.
I will go back to the capital in two or three days.
You need a local guide to show you to the real beauty of this place.
If you don't mind, I can ask my daughter Dansha
to accompany you in touring our place. What do you think?
How can I bother Lady Lin for such trouble?
This is my daughter's honor.
Okay.
I have to trouble Lady Lin then for a few days.
Master Lin.
Please, please, my uncle is dying! I know that your manor has a medicine called Spring Revival Pill.
Please, sell it to me, so I can save him.
Young Master, isn't she the one from this morning?
I have given the last pills to Young Lord Chen here, but I appreciate you being such a nice kid.
Go fetch some aged ginseng for her. Take them as medicines.
Young Lord Chen?
Just looking at you, you must be a rich playboy!
You're not a good person!
Just listen to the storyteller from now on. Don't talk nonsense!
Move aside!
Young Lord Chen, why do you need the pill?
My Royal Father has a serious cold.
I need these to help him get better.
I need the pills to save a life, and you need it to stay healthy.
I heard you bought two? Can you give me one?
When they make another one, you can buy it till then.
You do have a point.
Thank you, Young Lord Chen!
Don't thank me yet.
You have a point.
But nobody can take away the objects that I want from me.
You...
You homeless girl, don't you have some manners?
You are here after him. He got the pills first, so he can deal with the pills however he likes.
Besides, I have given you the ginseng. Why aren't you satisfied?
What are you doing? Let go of my young master!
You buying pills for your father is very touching.
But my relative is dying.
He raised me up back when I was a kid.
But now I cannot repay his favor,
and even have to bury him with my own hands.
This heartbreak, this helplessness,
this hopelessness...
- Let go! - You can sympathize with them.
Let go!
I cannot feel them.
I got it!
Actually, you acknowledge my filial act,
but because I acted recklessly this morning,
you got upset.
I apologize.
That storyteller, he was talking nonsense.
What Lotus Robe Knight? There is no way he can shoot ten arrows at one time.
You don't need to apologize.
I'm the one who obtained the pills. I feel happy now.
- Master Lin. - What are you all doing?
Get her out!
Young Lord Chen, please sell me the pills!
Please, please don't.
- Go go go. - I really need it! I...
What dog-ass Young Lord Chen?
Playboy.
I knew you were no good at first sight!
I am sorry.
I wasn't capable.
I cannot get the pills.
I shouldn't have fought with you yesterday. I am sorry.
Please wake up.
I promise I will never make you angry again.
I will stop doing businesses.
I will beg for food very seriously.
Please wake up!
Lotus Robe Knight?
The Spring Revival Pill!
Uncle Jiu!
Here.
Lotus Robe Knight!
Thank you so much!
Uncle Jiu! You are awake! Great!
- Assist me up. - Okay.
Uncle Jiu.
I thought I would never see you again.
I thought I wouldn't see you again either.
I thought...
I could take care of you for the rest of your life.
But... I overestimated myself.
For so many years,
you have been the one who has been taking care of me.
My days...
are not long anymore.
I will take you to the capital city...
to find Mr. Zhu.
You want to know your birth, right?
When we get there, I will tell you.
You are a grown up now.
You can decide your path from now on.
Go to the capital?
But how?
[Yaoling Manor]
[Financial Book]
Within four hours, make a copy of it. I need to put it back.
Yes, Young Master.
Give me some.
Sister Xiao Hua, do you still want clothes today?
Not anymore!
Please let me through.
Have you seen anyone like her?
No.
Shan, I am leaving. I won't be collecting clothes from now on.
You can just directly send the clothes to auntie.
- Okay. - Take care.
- After her! - After her!
Go tell First Miss.
Who let you in?
I am here to see someone.
Get out.
Oh, I found him! Young Lord Chen.
Miss beggar.
You are quite good to find me here.
You can go now. I will not give you the pill.
Seems like the dog-ass Young Lord Chen doesn't know that Lotus Robe Knight has taken the pill.
Oh, Young Lord Chen, you must have misunderstood me.
I heard that you are going back to the capital soon.
I want to ask if I can hitch a ride.
You will be very bored on your way back anyway.
If you can take me, I will do some tricks to make you laugh.
You want to take your relative to the capital and treat him?
You are so handsome and smart. You got it on the first guess.
If any girl can marry you, she would be very happy for life.
This...The doctor here cannot treat my Uncle Jiu.
I heard the doctors are better in the capital, so I want to go.
But the road is long, and my uncle is very sick. He cannot travel long distances.
So I want to ask the very smart and
very kind Young Lord Chen to protect and take us with you to the capital.
I will be eternally grateful.
I will forever pray for your long life.
You make it sound so nice,
but actually you were cursing inside. Right?
I don't know you. Why should I help?
If you want to go, you go by yourself. Leave me alone.
Young Lord Chen!
What are you doing?
My uncle cannot travel in a terrible carriage.
- He is very sick. - Hey!
I know, I was wrong.
I apologize, but my uncle cannot wait any longer.
Young Master, why don't we just take her back with us?
- Let go. - Let go!
Please, Young Lord.
Let go.
You really won't agree?
No!
Then don't regret this.
Why would I? I am happy to have some quiet moments.
Young Master!
- No! No! - Look, look. - Don't go. - Why is she crying so sad?
It's okay that you don't want me,
but you cannot abandon this kid inside me!
What are you talking about?
Hey, it's not like what you think it is!
Rich boy is abandoning the poor girl.
Who is abandoning who?
I never thought that rich people
would have such dirty secrets.
What are you talking about? Our young master doesn't know you at all.
I know I am from a poor family.
I shouldn't ask for so much.
But that day... the two of us developed mutual affection...
You said you will take me away.
I am telling you, if you don't stop, I will tear your face apart.
You crazy woman, I've served my young master since he was a kid. I've never seen you.
Don't try to ruin his reputation!
You only serve your master during the day.
Do you know what your master has been doing at night?
He was not in the inn last night—
Stop talking!
Okay. Okay.
Young Lord Chen, look at that. Why make it so awkward?
I was only trying to ask you to do some charity work. I guarantee
that after this, I will leave you alone for good.
If you agree, I will go downstairs and explain it to them right now
that I mistook you for someone else.
You think you can threaten me like this?
Who don't you give it a try?
You said you have a kid inside, right?
What?
You are shy now?
You are no beauty,
but still quite good looking. Let's do this.
If you sleep with me,
I will take you to the capital. How about that?
Hua Buqi, why are you panicking?
He is only bluffing.
This kind of playboy
would never like a beggar.
No, Young Lord.
It's broad daylight. No, Young Master...
No, Young Master, don't do this.
- There are so many people outside watching us. - Hey!
Shut up!
- Stop! - Hey! Leave! Leave! - Young Master, that hurts.
- That hurts! - Hey...!
Go away. What's there to look?
Go! Go!
Shut up!
Shi!
Go get the laundry and let her wash it.
And the clothes in the bag, they are probably a bit smelly now. Give them all to her.
Watch her. If they are not washed clean,
we won't take her to the capital.
Yes, Young Master.
As long as I finish washing the clothes, you will take me to the capital?
Yes.
Okay, that's a promise.
Lady Lin.
My father asked me to guide you to tour around the prefecture.
I am wondering when you would like to leave.
We can go now. Thank you for the trouble.
You are welcome. It's my honor to accompany you for a leisurely tour.
Shi, watch her.
When I get back,
I want to see that all the clothes
have been cleaned.
Isn't it just some clothes?
I will clean them for you.
Go now. Don't let the pretty maiden wait.
Only some laundry.
Where are they?
These are two people's laundry?
These are all young master's. And it's only because we are traveling.
In the capital, he has two rooms
that's only for clothing.
I don't get rich people.
Why does he need so many clothes? He wouldn't be able to wear all of them.
He is no normal person.
It's not surprising for him to have so many clothes.
Just slowly wash them now.
Dog-ass Young Lord.
You dare make things difficult to me? I will show you what I got.
- Isn't this the girl in the lobby? - That's right.
This is so cruel. Making her wash so many clothes.
- in such cold weather when she's pregnant. - That man is no good.
No man is good.
Miss, stop washing.
You have a baby in you.
Take care of your body, you know?
Auntie, it's okay.
I have no other way. This is my life.
Never mind, leave her alone.
Don't mind other people's business.
Curses!
No, this...
What a terrible person.
You all...
Wash clothes... Wash clothes...
Young Lord Chen, I come here often.
Do you find it beautiful?
The vision is pretty, but nothing compares to the lady in front of me.
I didn't expect that a small prefecture like Xichuzhou
could have a beauty like Lady Lin.
Thank you for the compliment.
The road is not safe to walk around recently.
Lotus Robe Knight robbed a businessman in daylight.
I planned on getting back as soon as I got the pills.
Seems like I need to stay longer.
You are being very polite.
By the way, Lady Lin,
I heard that a medicine businessman bought the goods from your family?
Exactly. And that businessman belongs to the Feiyun Fortress, one of the big four clans.
And he was robbed before he could leave Xizhou Prefecture.
My dad was very bothered.
That Lotus Robe Knight is such a bold man.
How dare he rob Feiyun Fortress?!
Master Lin is sure that he did this?
I don't know about that.
My dad never lets me ask about our business.
You are right.
Let's not talk about these unhappy topics.
Let's fully indulge in this beautiful scenery. Be carefree.
What a terrible man. Curses!
Curses!
Hey, you...
Young Master.
Why are you here? I told you to watch her do the laundry.
Don't mention it.
Hua Buqi has been messing around.
And she talked a lot of bad things about you.
Take her to my room right now.
Yes.
You told me as long as I take you to the capital, you will explain to everyone.
Why are you still pretending that you are pregnant to make people feel sorry for you?
I'm being falsely accused, Young Lord.
I was just having a stomachache for stepping in cold water.
People misunderstood me, what can I do?
You were pretending!
How did you see me pretending?
How about you step into that basin and wash clothes, too?
You would surely have the same posture as me.
- Never mind. - You...
You can go back.
Young Lord Chen, you said that if I wash clothes for you,
you'll take me to the capital.
You are a big man, don't break your promise.
I will do your laundry.
You don't need to.
Give me your address. I will let Shi inform you once we're leaving.
I live in the wrecked house near Shili Pavilion.
I hope you are a man of your words.
Don't run away and not tell me.
You can rest assured. I will definitely take you to the capital city.
Otherwise, I can't imagine how much more you will go to ruin my name.
If I let you keep doing that, how can I face the world?
You can rest assured. I will tell them right now.
Thank you very much, Young Lord Chen.
Shi.
Tell me, how possible it is
that this beggar is the daughter of my father?
The face is very much alike.
But the rest? We need to investigate more.
I didn't look for her,
but she kept showing up.
And she even wants me to personally take her to the capital.
If she really is my father's daughter,
I will never take her.
What if she is not?
If not,
this beggar has such a pitiful story.
I just want to help her.
Young Master, why be vexed about it?
We can investigate her identity first.
If she is not the daughter of the Prince,
you can have more company on the road.
And you can even save a person's life. No need to overthink this.
If she is the daughter of your Prince father,
we can make other plans.
Oh, yes, Young Master. Why don't I get her and let's clarify it?
No.
This beggar is full of lies. There's no way we can get the truth.
I will find out about it.
If she is not,
she's quite clever.
She'll be more useful by my side than you.
Young Master, I was just not as eloquent as her.
I am not stupid.
[Prince of Xin (Trust) Manor]
Prince, I have news.
- Is she really in the Xizhou Prefecture? - According to our spies there,
they found a girl with a face and age that matched.
And she has an Uncle Jiu by her side.
The uncle looks like Zhu Hua a lot.
Besides, the uncle won't allow her to do business.
They live mainly by begging for food. But this girl is secretly doing business.
There might be a secret story behind it.
Did you get the girl?
According to the report, they seemed to have been informed
- and are ready to leave Xizhou. The secret agents said that you should send more people there. - More people?
Where can I get more people?
Since the Emperor ascended to the throne,
he trapped me here in the capital.
Saying something like we are close, and it would break his heart if I go.
He made me in charge of the treasury.
He is just afraid
that I'll go back to my fief, raise an army, and rebel against him.
How can I send more guards to Xizhou?
If Royal Brother knew that I was still training a private security army,
he would make me stay in this royal manor forever.
Prince,
the Emperor only knows that you are looking for your daughter.
Maybe we can notify the local government office in Xizhou Prefecture
and the four great families to help us look for her.
With your reputation, they will surely do their best to help us.
No...
What if...
Zhu Hua chooses to just perish with us
and announce to the world that we are looking for the Biluotian's Saintess?
Then...
all our hard work would be in vain.
You are overthinking this. Besides, if that Uncle Jiu really is Zhu Hua,
he was able to give up his big businesses here in the capital
and chose to be a homeless guy.
How could he then announce this to the world about the Saintess?
If he does that, that girl will be the target of so many people.
She will never be in peace.
Your Highness, we cannot wait any longer.
We finally have a lead. If we don't act now,
I don't know how many more years we would need to wait again?
- Besides, Yu'er is in Xizhou Prefecture now. He can go find... - Wait.
Yu'er is in Xizhou Prefecture?
Yu'er might be fighting with you a lot,
but he is worried about you very much.
This time, he covertly visited Xizhou Prefecture
In order to go to Yaoling Manor
and find the pills for you.
Fu, do this.
To be safe,
you cannot let anyone find out about this.
I will write to Yu'er right now. I will tell him that
this is my only wish before I die.
He must find that person in Xizhou Prefecture
and bring her back.
[Mingyue Villa]
Master.
Feiyun Fortress didn't prepare for this at all.
They only sent about five or six servants to Yaoling Manor.
How come we still lost?
It was me, I didn't think this thoroughly.
Simultaneous with the operation to steal the medicines, I sent some people to seek for Xue Fei's daughter.
Who knew that Lotus Robe Knight would be there.
If it's not because we need to find that person, the assassins I've sent could totally kill Lotus Robe Knight.
Be more careful from now on.
The marriage between Feiyun Fortress and the Mo Family is strong.
I was going to use this chance
to sabotage their war house delivery to the Emperor.
If the Emperor blamed Feiyun Fortress,
I can then distance the two families
and make Feiyun Fortress come to my side.
Now, it seems
we have to wait for another chance.
I will help you get them.
But I don't understand
why you want to find the daughter of Xue Fei?
You know that she is the illegitimate child of Seventh Prince.
She is not only the illegitimate child of Seventh Prince.
More importantly, she is also the daughter of Xue Fei.
I understand now.
You cannot forget Xue Fei.
That's why you want to find her daughter as a reminder of her.
You can trust me.
I will help you find her.
But I will kill her right away. You will never see her again.
Uncle Jiu! Uncle Jiu!
You are back.
Uncle Jiu, you...
You are so much better!
Oh my, those pills are great!
My health is much better.
We will set out for the capital right away.
Uncle Jiu, no rush.
I have found a way to get us there.
Just wait for two days, and we can get a ride all the way to the capital.
Stupid girl, I have the money for a carriage.
Till now, I have something to tell you.
You found us after all.
You are good at hiding. Too bad you cannot hide forever.
Mingyue Villa always gets what it wants.
Kill them!
Let's go!
Uncle Jiu!
Buqi!
- You go first, Buqi! I will stop them! - We'll leave together!
- Go! - Watch out!
Uncle Jiu!
Uncle Jiu! Uncle Jiu!
Buqi, you have to stay alive.
Don't let them get you.
Get the alms bowl.
Go to Xingyuan (Source of Prosperity) Pawn Shop at the south lane in the capital city and ask for Mr. Zhu.
Give the alms bowl to Mr. Zhu. Remember,
Mr. Zhu in the Xingyuan Pawnshop at the south lane and nobody else. Got it?
Yes.
Kill!
No!!!
Uncle Jiu!
Go now!!
Buqi, go now!
Go!!!
Uncle Jiu!
Go!!!
