[ I Will Never Let You Go ]
[ Episode 7 ]
There really aren't any secrets?
You can take a look for yourself!
Okay!
But you can't take it out of my sight!
Not so hard!
Are you done?
What's the rush?
I think... you're the only one who treats it like a treasure.
That's right, Buqi.
I asked a former royal chef to make you a whole table of good food.
I don't know when news will come from the Seventh Prince.
Let's eat first!
I want to eat chicken drumsticks!
I know you like eating chicken drumsticks. I told the kitchen to make
a steamed, red braised, and fried version of it, so you can have enough of each in one go.
After you're done eating, I'll take you to see my mother.
These past days, I've been injured and unconscious.
You also got locked up in the firewood shed by Jiansheng.
You and my mother haven't officially met yet, right?
Mother?
- Mother! It's me! - Young Master.
Young Master.
Where is my mother?
Madam went to the temple. You have just recovered.
Madam said that she's going to the temple to pay respect to Buddha and repay her granted wish.
She also said she'll stay there for a few days.
She's staying at the temple for a few days?
Buqi, if nothing goes wrong, you have to enter the Prince's manor in two days.
I initially wanted you to see my mother beforehand.
It looks like you can see her if there is a chance after she returns.
Okay!
How did it go?
Don't bother with him.
Let's go to Mo Manor first and see Hua Buqi.
Let's go.
[Prince of Xin Manor]
- Xiao Liu, prepare a horse! - Yes!
I'm going to Mo Manor to cut off Father's desires today!
Buqi!
Are you cold?
This act is very simple. You just need to stand there,
gaze far away, let the wind lightly move the sleeves of your dress,
and smile a little.
Didn't you already send some blood over?
They only need to test it to see if I'm real!
Why do I need to put on an act?
Since the Seventh Prince wants to come, there is a 90% guarantee that you are his daughter.
Putting on this act
is to deepen his feelings for you.
This place was built by Father to recreate Qiushui Pavilion.
Your mother was standing over there
when she saw Seventh Prince coming to our house to ask for some water, and then their love story followed.
Then, my mother was a warm and gentle person?
I'm entirely different from her!
Young Lord Mo, can you tell me more?
- I- - Young Master!
Young Master, the Prince's carriage is half a mile away from us!
Then let the Seventh Prince tell you himself!
Jiansheng, take good care of Lady. I'll go greet the Prince.
Yes!
[Mo Manor]
Greetings, Your Highness.
I have troubled you, Young Lord Mo.
It is my honor to work for you.
Get up.
Yes.
Why did we come here? I'm so cold!
My Lady, the Prince will be here soon!
Even though it's cold out here, hang in there.
After the act is over, you can leave.
Okay! Just wait here!
Brother Jiansheng, why don't you switch the hand warmer for me?
This one isn't hot anymore!
Don't worry!
I won't run around and ruin your Young Lord's grand plan!
I'm just afraid what if
I'm so cold that I can't smile, then what?
Fine, fine, fine! I'll go right away!
Thank you, Brother Jiansheng!
They're already 90% certain!
Why is he still so nervous?
I don't want to enter the Prince's manor
and get killed by that dog-ass Heir Apparent!
I'm sorry, Young Lord Mo!
My performance later will probably be horrible!
Yishan, if this girl is really my missing daughter,
I will definitely thank you properly!
Don't worry.
You are too kind, Your Highness, this—
This girl's personality
is very different from Xue Fei.
But her smile
can still make me remember the past.
It's her.
Yishan,
you have helped me find my beloved daughter.
Thank you.
You are too courteous, Your Highness.
Previously, I thought I'd disappointed you.
Now, I am at ease.
My Lady! Be careful!
I'm picking berries! Want some?
I told you not to think of entering the Prince's manor!
I could kill you at any time!
I... I don't dare to!
Yu'er!
Buqi!
My Lady!
Buqi!
- Buqi! - Yu'er!
My Lady!
Why are you yelling? Hurry and save them!
Jiansheng! Bring some hot wine here!
Xiuchun, bring some clothes for Lady to change into!
This is my final warning.
If you develop any thought of entering the Prince's manor again,
you won't be so lucky next time!
Young Master, wine!
Strong alcohol drives away the cold! Drink it!
Your Highness, are you okay?
What could happen to me? I have strong internal power to protect me.
Yishan, hurry and bring my daughter back to her room!
Yes! Xiuchun!
Yes!
My Lady.
Your Highness, the cold pond water is piercing to the bone. You should protect yourself.
It's not worth it for a girl.
This girl is my little sister.
If I didn't save her,
I'm afraid Royal Father would flay my skin!
Yu'er! You're wet, too. Go and change.
Thank you for your worries, Royal Father.
Your Highness, I'll go with the Heir Apparent to change his clothes first.
Do you... want to go see Buqi?
Yishan, congratulations on successfully currying favor with my Royal Father.
But don't be happy yet.
If that little beggar dies one day...
do you think my Royal Father will blame you?
Yu'er!
Forget it.
Today, I won't go to see that girl.
Your Highness!
I'll go with the Heir Apparent to change clothes first.
I prepared a feast today. It will help calm your nerves.
From these dishes, I can see
that you are a caring person.
You are exaggerating, Your Highness.
Mother once mentioned
that when you and Miss Xue met,
these were your favorite dishes.
I originally wanted to take a look at the person Young Lord Mo brought from Xizhou Prefecture,
but instead what I saw was a wet chicken!
Royal Father,
I'm a bit tired from saving her. I'll go and rest first.
Saving her?
You dare to say that?
Royal Father,
there are some things you'll never know.
When Mother and I went to burn incense,
we also saw Xue Fei.
That woman was as weak as a willow branch trembling in the wind.
I heard this girl was a beggar since childhood.
I think...
she won't be as fragile as her mother, right?
You are threatening me?
You want to tell me if I brought her to the manor,
you would do whatever you can to hurt her?
Just like what happened just now,
when you tore her waistband
and dropped her into a freezing pond. Right?
You can give it a try, Royal Father.
Bastard!
Please be calm, Your Highness.
Today, you were willing to accept my invitation to come here in our manor to admire the flowers and the scenery.
It is my honor.
Heir Apparent... didn't like the scenery
and then left early. It makes sense.
Duke Cheng of the State was heartbroken for the early death of my Princess Consort.
I also never named a main wife either.
I always feel like I owe a debt to my Princess Consort,
so I doted on Yu'er a lot.
I have spoiled him rotten.
He left without even giving proper greetings.
It is a little rude.
Young Lord Mo, do not take it to heart.
Heir Apparent is a straightforward person.
I am quite jealous of him.
Yishan,
you began leading the Mo Manor here in the capital since you were ten years old.
In the underworld, your father
will certainly be proud of you.
It's just that the descendants of the House of Mo in your generation are too few.
Yishan, you are quite handsome.
I'm thinking, if you had a little sister,
she would definitely be as beautiful as a celestial maiden.
That's right. That child's name is... Buqi, right?
Yes.
Looking from far away, she quite resembles Xue Fei.
Your Highness,
Buqi suffered a lot since she was little. However, she remained to have a pure heart.
When I met her in Xizhou Prefecture,
I have already developed the thought of taking her in as a little sister.
It's just my mother went to the temple yesterday.
Once she returns, I will officially take Buqi as my little sister!
When that happens, please come and watch the ceremony.
I will definitely come.
I love the homemade wine from Mo Manor.
I will definitely come enjoy it!
Your Highness, please.
Please!
Respectfully sending off, Your Highness.
Young Master! Isn't Hua Buqi the Prince's daughter?
Of course she is!
Th-Th-Then why didn't he take away Hua Buqi?
Seventh Princess Consort is the legitimate daughter of Duke Cheng of the State.
Duke Cheng of the State is in pain over
the early death of his daughter due to Seventh Prince's womanizing ways.
How then can he easily bring Buqi home?
The Heir Apparent was also against it.
He is the Seventh Prince's only son!
Tell me then, how can he take Buqi away?
Young Master, then what will happen to Hua Buqi?
The Prince won't acknowledge Buqi,
but he thought of leaving Buqi in Mo Manor.
With Buqi being a lady in my manor,
she will naturally live a comfortable and wealthy life.
This way, as an exchange,
the Seventh Prince will become our backer.
Our Mo Manor supporting a lady
is just preparing additional bowls and chopsticks during meals.
It won't cost that much money, right? How can I miss such a good opportunity?
Young Master is wise!
The Seventh Prince has always been very clever!
This time... he's probably gone foolish from anger.
Leaving Buqi here is like giving me a hostage.
If the Seventh Prince cares and loves her,
if Mo Manor asks the Seventh Prince for a favor in the future, would he refuse?
Where is Buqi?
She's resting in her room.
- Let's go take a look! - Okay!
That wine was so strong!
My mouth is all dry!
Buqi! Why are you crouching there?
Why are you crouched here? Why aren't you resting?
I--
I'm okay, I'm okay!
It seems like you don't have a fever.
After you recover, I'll send you to the Prince's manor.
I won't go to the Prince's manor! I definitely will not go there!
Who knows what that dog-ass Heir Apparent will do to me?
Buqi, don't worry!
The Prince acknowledged you, but wasn't able to persuade Heir Apparent,
so you won't go there for now.
Thank goodness! I was terrified!
I have already sent Jiansheng to bring a letter to the temple.
After my mother returns, I'll officially take you as my little sister!
Little sister?
That's right!
From now on, you will be the Second Lady of Mo Manor!
Who knows how many noblemen in the capital will ask for your hand?
Hua Buqi,
you're already not that cheap daughter that old man Lin from Yaoling Manor wanted to use to make connections with the powerful nobles.
I will turn you into a real daughter of a rich household!
I've heard that being a rich family's daughter
means you can't even leave the front door!
How can I go look for Mr. Zhu?
This won't do. No. No.
Thank you for your good intentions.
However, I don't want to live under other people's house's again!
I will leave Mo Manor tomorrow. Please do not force me to stay.
You can't!
How can I be at ease if you are alone?
Since the Prince left you with me, I have to take responsibility for you!
Hua Buqi!
Don't think about being a beggar with your Uncle Jiu's alms bowl again!
The Prince has already acknowledged you. If you do that,
do you want the entire world to laugh at the Prince?
Perhaps, if the Emperor and Empress Dowager are infuriated by it,
they will execute you through caning!
Buqi,
although it was the Prince who ordered me to take care of you, I will be sincere towards you!
I won't let you be bullied again!
As for you... you can call me "eldest brother."
Eldest Brother.
Can I request something?
If I really become a lady of this house,
can I leave Mo Manor without any limits?
That's true.
You're not used to living as a rich noble lady.
All right.
When I go look at my businesses, I will take you with me.
Then what if I want to walk around the capital by myself?
Then I will tell Jiansheng to go with you!
We'll talk about that after my mother returns.
She is a person who is strict with etiquette. I have to ask her first.
It's so easy to escape from him.
It seems like there is hope in leaving to find Mister Zhu!
That's great, Eldest Brother.
Then from now on, I'll follow you to live a luxurious life!
Eldest Brother, as a lady of the Mo Manor,
in one month,
how much money can I have?
I heard from storytellers
that the rich daughters and sons have to give tips to their servants!
I can't give them anything if I don't have money!
If I can't, wouldn't that embarrass the House of Mo?
Then how much money do you want per month?
When I did business and worked as a beggar,
I was able to earn at least three taels of silver a month.
Now that I'm a lady, and is even the lady of the world's biggest bank,
how many times more should my monthly allowance be multiplied for it to be suitable?
You have some business knowledge, too!
Thank you for your praises.
Then...
- You think thirty taels per month is enough? - Enough...
- That's definitely enough! Thank you, Eldest Brother! - You're so obsessed with money.
All right. Then rest well, I'll leave first.
Okay! Bye, Eldest Brother!
[Mo Manor]
Mother, Buqi is here.
She indeed is pretty like a fairy.
Eldest Brother, that day in your room, I was thinking.
Is this really your mother? She's not your older sister?
Hurry and greet your godmother.
Greetings, Godmother!
Hurry and get up. Sit.
Buqi, once you've become a lady of the House of Mo,
you cannot be lacking in decent jewelry. Xiao Qing.
Look. This is my welcoming gift to you.
See if you like it.
It's so pretty!
This must be very expensive!
I don't dare to touch it! I might break it!
From now on, Buqi is the lady of the House of Mo!
All of you better look clearly!
Whoever dares to disrespect her will be punished!
- Greetings, Second Lady. - Greetings, Second Lady. - Greetings, Second Lady.
Buqi, from now on, you can live here at ease.
I'm a little tired now, I want to go back and rest.
You don't need to worry about me, go and rest!
Mother, go slowly!
- Eldest Brother, this is for me? - Yes.
My god! This is probably worth a lot of money!
It was Xiuchun taking care of you these past days, right? From now on, she will be your personal maid.
- If you need anything, just order her. - Okay!
My mother told me that you grew up in the wild,
so you're unwilling to be restrained.
So, you only need to greet her every morning.
No need for you to accompany her during lunch and dinner.
Which means I can arrange my own schedule for the rest of the day?
- Of course! - I want to tour the capital!
I have been away from the capital for a while, and because of being hurt recently, I had to stay home. There's many things I have to attend to.
How about this? Walk around the manor and get used to the environment.
After I'm done, I'll take you out.
No need to trouble you for it. Just have Jiansheng accompany me.
Jiansheng? He isn't free either.
Then she will do, too! Her. Her.
Have you forgotten the people who tried to kill us in Tianmen Pass?
I don't know who was behind it yet.
So at this time, it is safest to be in Mo Manor.
When I'm free, I will take you outside.
Yes. Thank you, Eldest Brother.
[Mo Manor]
Uncle Jiu, I'm finally not a beggar anymore.
I've become the lady of the House of Mo.
But I don't know why,
I miss the days when I begged with you.
Perhaps, it's because
everyone treats me well here
because they think I am useful.
And Uncle Jiu, you were sincere.
Uncle Jiu, don't worry! I didn't forget that I must find Mister Zhu.
But it's too rushed today.
If I mention it again, Brother Mo might become suspicious.
So for now, I can only be obedient.
However...
I can go investigate Mo Manor's layout
as preparation for secretly sneaking out.
Leisurely walking around in the courtyard in the middle of the night.
Are you wondering why you didn't become a princess?
Brother Lotus Robe Knight!
Don't wake up the people inside.
Brother Lotus Robe Knight, why did you come here?
Did you follow those who tried to kill me?
I lost track of those assassins.
So, I came here to see if they are still following you.
When I was a beggar, I heard a saying
that if you lie, your butt will rot.
Brother Lotus Robe Knight, you must be careful.
You didn't enter the Prince's manor to become a respected princess.
Are you not disappointed at all?
- No! - Why?
Is being the Lady of Mo Manor comparable to a high ranked princess?
Here in Mo Manor, you're just living under the care of others. If you go back to the Prince's manor, it will be your own home.
Even if Mo Manor is rich, they are just a clan of businessmen.
In Mo Manor, perhaps I can live a peaceful life!
In the Prince's manor, I might get killed!
Whether I am the Prince's daughter
or the Lady of the House of Mo, I think
being safe is the best!
You are easy to adapt.
You are a smart girl.
Your life will be like the moonlight.
You will live peacefully and harmoniously.
You don't need to beg, be a maid to be scorned,
or worry about your future marriage.
It's a shame. Someone keeps wanting to kill me.
If not for such an amazing guard like you,
perhaps one day, I will get killed.
How could I still live peacefully and harmoniously then?
I think...
let's just take each day one day at a time.
Don't describe yourself as being too pitiful. Just stay here in Mo Manor.
No one can get in here to kill you.
Didn't you get in?
Not many people have my level of martial arts.
Those assassins surely do not. Don't worry.
Thankfully, you are not the one who wants to kill me! Or else,
I wouldn't even be able to hide.
What use is there for me to kill you?
If you were a great villain in Jianghu, I could still kill you out of my chivalrous heart.
You are just a pitiful person.
Actually, I'm not pitiful. Even if I am not a lady of the Mo Manor,
I can live on my own.
Let me tell you. I am not staying here for nothing.
Young Lord Mo wants to curry favor with the Seventh Prince.
Seventh Prince can't go against his own conscience.
I'm being this lady for them.
If the day comes that they don't need me anymore,
- I can stop being this Lady of the Mo Manor at any time. - Just stay here!
It's more appropriate to stay here than outside. Stop having nonsensical thoughts.
Mo Ruofei is a businessman,
but he isn't a bad person.
Even if you are not useful to him, he will treat you well.
Brother Lotus Robe Knight, did you especially come to tell me these today?
You want me to be at ease and stay here in Mo Manor.
You care about me?
You're overthinking things.
I told you I followed those assassins here.
Since they aren't disturbing you, farewell.
Brother Lotus Robe Knight!
He's like that again, leaving just like that!
Uncle Jiu, it would be great if I was that good at martial arts, too!
That way, I can enter and leave as I please.
I wouldn't need to be controlled by anyone.
Amitabha. (Infinite light)
Bodhisattva, bless us.
Why?
Why is it like this?
She has to come to my Mo Manor,
and still become my adopted daughter!
Uncle Mo, I can't hold it in anymore!
My heart has so much hate!
I really hate her!
Young Master is intelligent, capable, and very filial.
Only you are left that's able to enjoy the blessing of having a son and future grandchildren.
Even if it's like that, so what?
Madam, please get up. Get up.
Uncle Mo,
how can I accept her?
Her eyes are just like that bitch's!
That year,
I was Feiyun Fortress's most beautiful lady!
The child I bore
has been a genius since childhood!
But all these can't compare to her bewitching eyes that took way the soul of Baixing.
Only later on did I learn
that Yishan's name
was named after that bitch.
But he told me that
Yishan is as beautiful as the dance of fragrant petals and butterflies in the garden during the third month of the year.
That's why he was named Ruofei.
Madam, these are things of the past.
But I can't forget it!
He only has that woman in his heart!
He forgot it. He forgot it all!
In the past, the rich businessmen of Jiangnan were determined to take over
the Fangyuan Bank of the House of Mo here in the capital.
It stirred up a bank run. He came all the way to the frontier fortress.
He begged Feiyun Fortress for help! He knelt in front of father and swore,
saying that he would be good to me forever.
He would never take a concubine.
I initially thought
that this House of Mo from thousands of miles away
would become the home of my life's happiness.
But all of this,
all of this was destroyed by that bitch!
Every time I think of this, my heart
will hurt as if a knife is stabbing it!
Were you the one who notified the Xue family that Xue Fei was in Qiushui Pavilion
and told them to take her away?
Xue Fei is a part of the Xue family to begin with. Is there something wrong with her returning to Xue Manor?
You... How could you be so vile?
Zhu Hua entrusted Xue Fei to me. How can I face him?
How can you face him?
Zhu Hua left Xue Fei in your care. But after getting drunk,
you raped her and got her pregnant before marriage!
You still dare to call him a friend?
- I will go and propose to the Xue family! - Mo Baixing!
Don't forget what you swore to my father!
You said you would never take a concubine!
- The thing I regret the most is to begging you and your father! - You...
Don't worry. From now on,
I will never take another step into this room!
You... Mo Baixing...
Mo Baixing!
All right.
Uncle Mo!
- Madam. - Go.
Burn Xue Manor.
I want to see
where Mo Baixing can propose marriage.
I also want that bitch to know what heart wrenching pain means!
Baixing, your body is more important.
Come, drink your medicine.
Mo Baixing, don't go overboard! Xue Fei is dead!
Go away!
Now, it is as you wish!
Baixing! Baixing!
Uncle Mo, did you know?
In his heart, he only had that bitch.
After Xue Fei died,
I was so gentle to him.
I cared for him so much. I even let him
draw Xue Fei's painting and hold it every day!
But him?
He actually became lovesick and refused to take medication.
He even lost the will to live.
He left in such an aloof manner, totally not caring about my child and I.
The other members of the Mo Clan tried to covet our wealth and pressed hard on us.
If not because Yishan was such an achiever, if not because Feiyun Fortress came to help,
how would the current Mo Manor still exist?
You told me to open my mind and let things go,
but I have to face that bitch's daughter every day. Tell me, how then can I be open minded and let things go?
While in the main hall, you didn't show any anger.
But now, why do you have to ignore the big picture and take her life?
Young Master brought her here because he had no choice.
If she is here, the Seventh Prince
would be a little mindful of our family. This is
the real reason behind this.
The Mo family does have to give the Seventh Prince an explanation.
I don't want the Seventh Prince to vent his anger on us.
However, don't worry.
This medicine won't make her die right away.
I've hated for over ten years.
I can wait for another three to five years.
After she gets married, she will have nothing to do with the Mo family.
I want her to be the same as her mother who seduced a married man.
After she gets married, she will die without a single sound.
It's hard for you since you have to consider the big picture.
Since things are like this, should Young Master know?
There's no need.
Yishan put his life on the line to save her at Tianmen Pass.
Although Hua Buqi is a pawn to curry favor with the Seventh Prince,
he is still young.
It can't be helped for him to get soft. I don't want him to ruin my plan.
Hua Buqi does have a pitiful past.
But if she has to blame someone,
she can only blame that she is Xue Fei's daughter.
I understand.
Amitabha.
The new year is coming. Buqi, you are now a lady of the House of Mo.
On New Year's day,
you have to visit the members of the Mo clan with me.
But you cannot be sloppy with your dress.
Take a look. Which piece do you like?
How about this?
- How about this one? - It looks good.
It's so hard to choose.
Godmother?
Godmother!
I've never chosen fabrics before. You should choose, instead.
That's good, too. The end of the year is approaching.
I have to take care of many things in the manor.
I have no time to teach you in these few days.
So, you don't need to give me morning greetings every day for now.
- Okay. - Then you can go back first. Once the clothes are ready,
I will have someone send them to you.
Okay. Thank you, Godmother.
Let's go. Let's go.
