[ I Will Never Let You Go ]
[ Episode 23 ]
Xiaoxia.
I told you to hit her just to scare Ninth Aunt.
How come you really killed her?
Don't worry, My Lady. She is not dead. She just fainted.
- What about the blood? - It was my trick.
- Really? - Yes.
I put it on her neck when you and your Ninth Aunt
were talking.
Once she fainted, I used a clever technique of beating her.
The beating may have looked hard, but she was not hurt.
That's good.
Zhu Shou, get her a doctor.
- Don't let the Ninth Aunt know. - Yes.
I'm tired...
after all these.
You may go out.
Yes.
Let's go.
Chief Steward Shou,
Lady probably has never punished anyone before.
She is still too kind.
Lady is the only bloodline of the House of Zhu.
If she is being too kind, who is going to lead us?
Chief Steward Shou,
these things
are too much for her, aren't they?
Don't worry.
Lady is not a soft person. She will figure it out.
Let's go.
Uncle Jiu, the old man wants me to run this house.
I need to quickly get used to this new identity.
I almost don't have time to think about you and Ah Huang.
But don't worry,
I will make enough money to pay back the debt.
Brother Yuan,
I am so sorry.
I didn't know that she would be this difficult to invite.
Even my Mother couldn't get her out.
Since she is not coming out,
- I will go in. - Brother Yuan is thinking...
Climb over the wall at night to meet the beauty.
Hey, that's a bad idea.
It would be bad if it gets out.
What's wrong with that?
Isn't it romantic when a man would risk his life
just to see the girl he loves?
Let me tell you, I've made up my mind.
I've been thinking about her day and night. If I don't get to see her, I will lose my mind.
This must be the courtyard of the Zhu granddaughter.
Don't move!
I'm the son of the Capital City Garrison Commander!
I even helped your Lady in a fight back in Zuiyitai.
Turn around.
I will stop them. You guys leave.
Why are you here in the middle of the night?
You look prettier than the last time
I saw you.
No! No!
I am Yuanchong! My father is the Capital Garrison Commander!
I've read many military strategy books! I've passed the civil examination last year!
I'm not yet engaged to be married and haven't taken in any concubines!
I'm returning home in a few days!
Wait a second!
Before I leave, I just wanted to see you once!
I like you!
After I go home, I will send someone to come propose!
You've mistaken me for someone else.
But thank you for intervening at Zuyitai to help us.
I'll let you go.
I'm not mistaken!
You were the one who smashed a wine jug on Tiger Wu that day.
You're wearing men's clothing now, but I recognized you in one look.
So...
he didn't come for Lady.
I fell in love with you at first sight! So...
During these few days,
I thought of every method to see you!
That's why I climbed the wall to get in!
It's a little rude.
I hope you...
won't mind.
Leave. If you dare to climb the wall to get in again,
I will tie you up and give you to the magistrate.
I think the commander doesn't want to be embarrassed that way.
I...! I really do like you!
I just want to get an answer from you before leaving!
All my words are true.
If I have said any lies,
I will be struck by lightning.
Jerk!
I know that climbing over a wall and trespassing is a bit too much!
But towards you...
I really do like you!
Hurry and leave! Don't disturb My Lady's rest.
No! I...
It was so hard to get over the wall!
If I don't make you like me,
I won't leave.
Miss, you just said, "My Lady."
Aren't you the Lady of Zhu Manor?
No... No...! It's fine if you are not!
The one I like is you, not your identity!
Really! Really! You must believe me!
You finally believe me?
All I said is the truth!
You can't tell others that I am not the Lady. Or else, I will kill you.
Don't worry! My mouth is quite tight!
Lotus Robe... I didn't even tell anyone about him.
You know the Lotus Robe Knight?
No, no, I don't.
I've never heard of him before!
I want to go see him!
I heard the Lotus Robe Knight often appears in the capital.
You are from the Capital City Garrison.
I'm sure you know many people.
Do you know where the Lotus Robe Knight is?
Miss, I... I really don't know him.
Then please go back. I hope you can keep your word.
You...!
Why are you looking for him?
I want to thank him for saving us with that arrow the other day.
If you run into him, tell him,
to come to Suzhou when he has time.
Someone wants to see him.
You want to see him? You're not in love with him because of that arrow, are you?
Let me tell you! Forget it! He...
He has someone he likes!
Just tell him my message when you see him.
I will tell him the rest when he comes.
Even if I saw him, I won't tell him.
You just wait! I will come again!
I will definitely make you like me.
You're back?
My Lady.
It is Young Lord Yuan from Zuiyitai.
He knows that I am not the real Zhu Lady.
But he is the son of the Capital Garrison Commander, so I can't kill him.
Hence, I made him leave.
I heard it all.
What did you hear?
I heard him say...
he likes you!
He's from a good family, not bad looking, and he dares to loudly say that he likes you.
He's not bad!
My Lady, I won't get married.
Don't mention it again.
Why won't you get married?
I have to protect you for life.
Women are too weak and aren't strong enough.
I treated myself as a man since childhood.
But you are still a woman.
It's fine if a woman isn't married.
But having a man who likes you is also a blissful thing.
Then My Lady... do you like the Lotus Robe Knight?
I saw Young Lord Yuan's expression when he mentioned the Lotus Robe Knight.
He might know who Lotus Robe Knight is.
How about next time if he comes again,
I will ask him where the Lotus Robe Knight is?
Lotus Robe Knight and I
are better off not seeing each other.
Why?
If he knows that I'm not dead,
and became the Lady of the House of Zhu,
would he tell the Seventh Prince and the Mo Manor?
It's nothing.
Didn't the old man ask me to think of ways to bring in money and cut the expenses of the Zhu Manor?
I'm so busy with those matters already.
How would I have the time to fall in love?
Then, have you thought of a way to earn money?
I did think of a few ways.
Call Zhu Fu and Zhu Shou here tomorrow.
I want to discuss it with them.
Then rest early, My Lady.
You too.
- Do business. Do. - Okay I'll write that down for you. - Okay.
My Lady, you want to loan money to the poor.
It neither brings profit in, nor saves anything.
We even have to put in a lot of money,
and worry about if they can pay for them or not.
If they can't pay it off—
When I was a beggar doing business behind Uncle Jiu's back,
what I lacked the most was the initial capital to purchase my stocks.
Later, when the business grew bigger, what I needed the most was money to expand the business.
I was thinking then, if anyone would loan me money,
I would even pay 60% interest.
Miss, it's not that everyone is a business genius like you are.
What if they lose money?
I think, it's better to loan money
to real businessmen. It's more secure.
That's not for sure. If you loan money to businessmen,
the higher the investment, the higher the risk.
And businessmen don't care about the small amount we can give,
and the usual commoners don't lack money either.
It is those poor people, who suffer from heavy taxation, who are in real need of money.
If we loan money to them, isn't that delivering coal during the snow?
The Emperor's taxation lately has indeed intensified,
and the poor population is growing.
However, they are mainly part of the agricultural sector.
Only a few really know how to do business. Hence,
my worry is the same as Zhu Shou.
Because in business, payments sometimes are defaulted.
If their business really fails, then they won't have any money to pay us back.
- What do we do then? - That's right.
Hence, we need to investigate.
At first, let's not loan out much.
After they made their payment in time, we can loan them money again.
Building credit takes time.
And these poor people are not as cunning as those experienced businessmen.
They are all suffering from poverty.
Opportunity is something precious for them.
Once they earn money, they will put it to good use.
Even there are people who can't pay it back, it would be the minority. We won't lose that much money.
Also, we can use collective punishment method.
if one person doesn't pay, all his neighbors are not allowed to take out loans either.
The poor also care about their reputation.
They won't wrong all their neighbors, right?
This...
Loaning money to the poor to set up business
would immediately raise the fame of the House of Zhu in Jiangan, and even across the nation.
Maybe, even the Emperor would praise us
for helping the poor civilians.
Also, once the fame of House of Zhu grows bigger and bigger in the empire,
there would be more people who will want to do business with us.
This way, our other businesses would benefit, too.
Right. Right.
My Lady, you are so right! How could I have not thought of that?!
Look, loaning money to businessmen has a long tradition throughout the history; hence, not surprising at all.
But loaning money to the poor would be done for the first time.
This is memorable for historic documentation!
Also, loaning money is a news that's easy to spread.
One passes it to ten. Ten passes it to hundreds. Hundreds pass to thousands. In an instant, the whole empire knows about it.
The more people who know about Zhu Manor, then more people will visit our shops.
Then our business is going to grow. To look at it that way,
- this is such a good deal! - Right?
This method might take some time. However,
it surely won't be a losing business and also can bring us great benefits.
Chief Stewards, what do you think?
Are we doing it or not?
I will listen to Lady.
Look at this...
Lady has just been with our Zhu Manor for a few days,
but has helped us resolve so many issues.
You are totally the lucky star of the House of Zhu!
In the future, as long as Zhu Fu and I follow you,
we'll feel so secure and so at ease.
Stop sweet talking me.
I think there are still imperfections.
Please double check this. Don't let others find a loophole to exploit.
Okay.
Have you heard of this? Zhu Manor is loaning money to the poor people to do business.
Every person could get three taels of silver, and pay it back installments for three months.
Every month, you can pay back just one tael and some interest.
Also, if you pay in advance, you won't need to pay interests!
There's such a good deal?
I don't even know whether this is true or not. I heard that it was the idea of the granddaughter.
If I could borrow some money, I can establish my little booth.
By that time,
I won't need to act according to the boss' mood.
If there's such a good deal, why don't you quickly check it out?
There must be a lot of people in the Zhu Manor's Bank now.
If you are late, you might not even be able to get through the crowd.
Help me to clean this up. I'm going to ask boss for leave.
- Help me with the cleanup! - Sure. Sure. Just quickly go.
Such a good idea. It doesn't cost much money, but it comes with good benefits.
This girl is so good at business.
- Waiter! - Yes! Coming!
- Check, please! - Sure.
[Zhu Manor's Bank]
- Just go back and wait for the approval. Next! - Thanks.
Hello, Manager. My name is Chen Da, a member of the Li Family Farmstead in Huang Village.
I'm currently staff at Zuiyitai. I want to loan three taels of silver to start a dumplings booth.
I'll certainly pay it off in time.
Chen Da, three taels of silver.
Okay. I've logged in all your information.
We need three days to do a background check.
Check? What do you need to check?
To check the authenticity of your information. And your credibility in your community.
If there is nothing wrong, we will surely loan you the money.
- Then, no problem. - Okay. Next!
Looks like we can't continue just having fun, and must take some serious actions now.
Otherwise, if the House of Zhu pays off their debt, my father is going to give me a hard time.
Two, down five, then minus three.
Two, remove eight, then add one.
Isn't this easy? Try it out. Here.
I get it... a little bit.
Two.
Down five.
- Down five... - My Lady!
Your aunts are here again.
Again?
It is the time to save money. And the old man asks me to be in charge of their accounts.
I finally have offended them.
No. No. I must go hide.
Xiaoxia, keep them out. Take these and follow me.
- Hurry! Hurry! Take them! - Hurry!
Stinky brat, why do you have time to visit me today?
You pushed all the work to me, while you are just relaxing here.
Those aunts are surrounding my courtyard again.
If I don't give them money, they go in circles in cursing me.
This is all because of you! Why did you put me in charge?
You... You don't have to be polite to them. If you need to criticize them, do it.
If you need to discipline them, do it. You don't need to worry about my reputation.
They are all my elders. How can I treat them that way?
You are in charge of the house.
You have to act like you are in charge.
In this household, you are the leader.
- For real? - Of course.
Okay. Then let's start from your room today.
What does that mean?
Wait!
Little girl, wait for me!
Wow, such a big piece of jade. It must worth a lot of money.
This is Grand Master's favorite white jade round sculpture. Seven hundred taels of silver.
Seven hundred taels.
- Such a big window. And it even uses a jiao...jiao what? - Jiao silk.
Yes, jiao silk. I've seen at our silk shop.
This must at least be two rolls, right?
- More than that. - More than that. How much would that be?
- Around a hundred and eighty taels of silver. - A hundred and eighty taels...
I know this! This is a very valuable:
yellow rosewood!
My Lady, you know your stuff.
Expensive right? How much?
A little more than a thousand taels of silver.
More than a thousand taels...
- This wood is so beautiful! This is... - Sandalwood. Sandalwood.
Don't! My Lady!
Slow down in rubbing it. This one is worth almost two thousand taels.
Two thousand taels?
A mingqian tea that was just delivered.
There are about 0,26 ounces in a pot, right?
Two taels of silver.
What was used can't be the
the snow water collected from plum flowers from last winter, right?
The effort to collect it would also be worth at least a tael of silver, right?
And then this purple sand teapot!
At least a few hundred taels of silver, right? Old man,
the one you just sipped right now is at least worth three taels of silver!
It's a month budget for a normal household.
This... You don't have to be so calculative.
This... furniture is all very valuable.
It can be used for a lifetime, for eight generations!
And those little things,
they were bought way before when they were still very cheap.
You don't want me to sell them all, right?
Don't worry. Even if you sell all of them, it would only be some change.
It won't help that significantly.
Now, we need to increase income and limit expenses.
I just want Zhu Shou to do the math for you.
Zhu Shou, report the number to Grandfather.
The expenditure of Grand Master on furniture and antiques last year was
a total of one hundred and forty-eight thousands taels of silver.
The jiao silk for windows in the manor will cost three thousand taels of silver per year.
The expenses of the aunts on jewelry, clothing and cosmetic products every year is about one hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver.
As for the kitchen,
the expenses on birds' nest and ginseng per year would cost
about fourteen thousand taels of silver.
In fact, these... expenses....
aren't that high either.
It's just that... we have so many people.
Okay.
Then, I'm going to be generous now.
I've decided, that for every courtyard in the manor, other than their monthly budget,
I'll give them one thousand taels more of silver per month.
My aunts can buy whatever they want to buy. It's up to them.
So they don't have to come to me if they want to buy some hair accessories.
No. No.
Isn't that too little?
It is so much less than before.
No. No. People are gonna say that our house couldn't even feed its women.
It's going to make me look really bad.
Don't worry, old man.
My aunts will be very happy about it.
They will be?
Master, Lady,
I think Miss' idea is pretty good.
Previously, when these aunts came to me for reimbursement of their clothing and makeup cost,
everyone would look happy on the outside,
but behind my back, they are all blaming me for being stingy.
Complaining that I ask too much,
that I commented on how expensive the items they bought.
Every month, they don't have much on-hand silver except for their monthly allowance.
Jewelry and clothing will get old.
I think, nothing is as good and pleasurable as having on-hand silver
to buy whatever they want.
In one year,
we can save more than one hundred thousand taels of silver.
More than that!
Not bad. Not bad.
As long as they don't come to cry and bother me,
I'm happy to.
Then you agree?
- Of course, I agree. - Old man,
I have another thing. I want my aunts
to own shares to the businesses of House of Zhu.
At the end of the year, they can earn some dividends or something.
- You really belong to Zhu family! - Isn't that right?
- What is your brain made of? And what is your brain made of? - Just like yours!
How did you think of that idea? Every year, give them 1000 taels.
In the blink of an eye, we can get that money back!
And they have to give you all their spare money!
- Right? - What is your brain made of? Why didn't you think of that?
Then you are agreeing?
Of course, I agree! Your aunts and their relatives,
they work in our shop!
In the past,
they were working for the House of Zhu. Each one is like a wood-eating insect.
Now, they are going to work for themselves.
Aren't they going to be more eager about it?
- Yes! I'll go tell them then! Zhu Shou, let's go! - Okay, okay!
- My Lady, it's time to rest. - Xiaoxia,
do you know how much money my aunts took out to invest?
How much?
One million taels! A whole One million taels!
If the House of Zhu had a few more aunts, that would be great!
Who's there?
I heard you're looking for me.
You're the Lotus Robe Knight?
Precisely.
He came! He really came!
Did he come to look for me?
No.
Uncle Jiu told me to guard against the Seventh Prince.
I don't know why I have to guard yet.
Can I go out to see him?
What if the Seventh Prince is an awful person?
If I go out, isn't that putting the House of Zhu in danger?
No. I cannot go out.
Miss, I heard you like me!
Hey!
Miss! I really am the Lotus Robe Knight!
If the Lotus Robe Knight had your level of martial arts,
I guess it wouldn't take long to hear that he was killed by his enemies.
Indeed!
My martial arts are nothing special.
But my archery is amazing!
I never miss any shots.
I was the one who shot the arrow to save you! Really!
I didn't lie to you!
You're wrong.
The one that the Lotus Robe Knight saved was My Lady.
Right. Right.
Look at my memory. That day,
I didn't see clearly, so I made a mistake! Yes! Yes!
The one I saved was Your Lady!
Young Lord Yuan,
either come with the Lotus Robe Knight,
or don't come looking for trouble!
- You want to see him that much? - Yes.
All right.
I'll go back and tell him.
Miss,
this is the third time we saw each other.
I still don't know your name!
Can you tell me?
Xiaoxia.
Miss Xiaoxia,
my martial arts are indeed below that of Lotus Robe Knight.
But my personality is good! And I am sincere towards you!
After you see the Lotus Robe Knight, you'll know
that he has a cold expression on every day.
That's not better than how I make you happy every day!
I guarantee! I will definitely make you like me!
Don't. Don't.
Don't.
Xiaoxia!
- My Lady. - Didn't I tell you
I don't want to see the Lotus Robe Knight right now?
Don't go making decisions by yourself
and bring him here.
But Young Lord Yuan already left. Should I run after him?
No need.
I'm saying...
you don't need to go after him.
Anyway, listening to his tone,
it didn't sound like he can really bring him here.
I'm going to sleep.
Hua Buqi!
Do you want him to come or not?
[Firework Store]
Customer, do you want to buy fireworks?
Take a look.
Is this shop under House of Zhu?
Yes.
Our fireworks were produced by Zhu Workshop.
The quality is guaranteed.
Is that so?
Then, the eyes of this patient of mine were injured by fireworks from your shop.
What should we do?
Don't talk nonsense, Young Lord!
The Zhu's of Jiangnan has a good reputation in doing business.
Have you made a mistake?
Or...
are you lying about getting injured from the Zhu's fireworks
- to scam money? - Forget it.
I will not waste my time with you.
I heard that it's the Zhu granddaughter who is in charge of your business now.
Go and call her over here!
I want to see
if your Lady Zhu will be as irresponsible as you
in this matter of fireworks from your shop hurting someone.
Do you think you can see her just because you want to?
Her illness was only cured because your Chief Stewards Fu and Shou abducted me over there!
Do you think I have a right to see her or not?
Isn't that Medical Sage Dongfang?
He disappeared a few days ago.
Why did he suddenly appear today?
So you are Medical Sage Dongfang?!
I was not aware who you were.
I will go and tell Grand Master Zhu about it now
and ask him to settle things. Please wait.
To make him treat her,
you abducted him?
Why didn't you abduct his entire family?
Old Master!
You cannot blame us!
You have to blame Medical Sage Dongfang!
He said he'd only save poor people.
Lady was in critical condition at that time.
We were out of ideas.
That's why we abducted him!
We had no choice!
Choice? Choice? Choice?
You are such a troublemaker!
You can even abduct people?
Even if you abduct, you should have done it prettily.
Right? Now he's come searching for us!
That Dongfang guy has come straight to cause a scene in our fireworks store. You tell me, what should we do?!
Grand Master, please be calm. Lady's life was really in danger then.
Only Dongfang Shi could treat the poison.
So...
That's why we chose such a bad plan.
That was a bad plan?
Tell me a good plan now then? What do we do now?
Old Master! I think that Medical Sage Dongfang seems to like Our Lady!
And he specifically wants Lady to personally handle it.
Why don't we have Lady cover her face
and come with me to the fireworks shop?
I will ask him to come inside,
and then have Lady talk with him.
And then we'll have Xiaoxia interrogate the manager of the fireworks workshop.
Do you think that will work?
- Hurry and go! - Okay.
Why are you standing here?
My Lady.
This is the Medical Sage Dongfang who saved you.
Greetings, Young Lord Dongfang.
Thank you for saving my life.
You are too kind, Lady Zhu.
When Zhu Manor's people abducted me, they were not that courteous.
They were just worried about my injuries.
That's why they chose that plan of action.
I am apologizing for it.
You don't need to apologize to me.
You should apologize to my patient.
I saved his eyes, but whether or not his eyesight can be fully restored,
will require some further observation.
What is going on?
Please explain.
Xiao Huzi,
tell her yourself.
How were your eyes injured?
Young Lord.
Why are you afraid?
Today, I will support you! Just tell the truth.
Tell me.
Thank you, Young Lord, for standing up for me.
I bought fireworks from the Zhu store
a couple of days ago.
I bought it to be used for my mother's birthday.
Who knew that it exploded right after I lit it.
The sparks were everywhere. Not only did it hurt my eyes,
the spark also spread to the house of my neighbors
and lit up two houses.
They were asking me to pay for those,
but my eyes are hurt, and I can't work. How do I pay them back?
Are you sure you bought the fireworks from our shop?
Lady Zhu,
who has the guts to scam the House of Zhu of Jiangnan?
Without enough evidence,
how could a normal civilian
dare to ask justice from the Zhu's store?
You've misunderstood, Young Lord. I'm only here to learn the truth.
You don't have to doubt Xiao Huzi.
It's not the first time that the fireworks made by the House of Zhu
have hurt people.
I saved his eyes by accident.
If they were really hurt by the fireworks,
there must be lots of fireworks from the same batch,
so I investigated.
All these people have bought the same batch of fireworks from the Zhu shop.
But they were more lucky and weren't hurt badly.
Hence, they didn't come here to ask for compensation.
If you don't believe it, you may send someone to investigate.
Maybe there are some fireworks from the same batch here that you can have them test.
Do we still have fireworks from the same batch?
We still have plenty.
- Test one in the yard. Be careful. - Okay.
I can treat that manager for free.
But Lady Zhu, does the House of Zhu sell fireworks
or deadly gun powder?
If the products we sold have quality issues, we will take responsibility for them.
How?
The amount of losses this hurt man incurred
will all be compensated by my Zhu shop.
It's also the same with the five people on the list. But...
I have two more questions for you, Young Lord.
Please do ask, Lady Zhu.
Is Xiao Huzi's eye injury treatable?
I will try my best.
You must be kidding, Young Lord.
Since the Medical Sage said so, he must be 100% confident.
We will leave him to you to treat.
The Zhu can afford the most expensive medicines.
What would the second question be, Lady Zhu?
Have you treated the five people on the list, too?
- I did. - Are they all okay?
Like I said, I will try my best.
Understood. Thank you, Young Lord.
My Lady!
I saw this guy was about to run away when I got to the firework factory.
If I'm not wrong, you did something to the ingredients. Right?
This firework store was just newly opened.
The fireworks were fine when we tested them before we opened.
But after the store opened, there goes so many issues.
I was going to ask you how you managed the factory
in front of everyone.
I don't think that's necessary now.
Bring him to the authorities and let the court deal with him.
Miss, he just admitted that he works for the Fourth Aunt.
The Fourth Aunt is probably deeply involved in this matter.
Are we really sending him to the authorities?
If the Fourth Aunt just wants to fight against me, it's one thing.
But innocent lives have now been hurt.
We can only let the authorities deal with it. We can't let those despicable people
ruin Zhu's reputation in business.
Yes.
I've heard that Lady Zhu was able to run the businesses of the House of Zhu so perfectly in such a young age.
Seeing it today, it is indeed as was said.
Young Lord, you must be joking. If I did run it perfectly,
- how did the firework incident happen? - It's is only a small mishap.
But now that everything is clear,
I don't know if I may invite Lady Zhu
to catch up in a nearby restaurant.
I should say yes to your invitation, Young Lord,
but I still need to deal with something in the stores.
It's okay. I can wait.
If today doesn't work, tomorrow then.
If tomorrow doesn't work, the day after tomorrow then.
I don't know how long it will take Lady Zhu Zhu to settle your affairs.
Until all the clients are satisfied with Zhu's fireworks,
that's when it's done.
Go ask the manager to get the fireworks from the same batch out,
and ask someone to get some buckets of water and place them in front of the store.
I'm on it.
All our co-villagers and neighbors!
Today, Doctor Dongfang brought in a patient who was injured by our Zhu's fireworks
to seek justice from our store.
The fireworks from our factory have issues
and hurt people; hence, it's our responsibility to take.
We definitely won't push it to anywhere else. The House of Zhu will assume
all the medical expenses!
The House of Zhu is supposed to be responsible for it in the first place!
- Yeah. - Yes! Yes!
Our House of Zhu is supposed to be responsible for it in the first place. At the same time,
if anyone has bought fireworks from our stores in recent days,
can return them to us.
We will buy them back at double the price.
That may sound good. Who knows if you are going to
sell them again or not, once they pass?
- Right. Right. That's what businessmen do. - Don't worry, everyone.
We will not sell this batch of fireworks anymore.
For your safety and our reputation,
Our Lady has repeatedly instructed me
that this batch of fireworks has to be destroyed.
So today, we will destroy them
in front of all of you to see, is that okay?
- Okay! Okay! - You, pour the water.
They are really destroying them.
Good! Good!
Everyone saw it, right?
This is our standard for our own products.
No matter if it's fireworks, silk, tea or jewelries,
the qualities has to be the best.
Our Lady said, from now on,
anyone who finds quality issues on any of our products,
will be rewarded 10 taels!
- Good! - Thank you for your supervision!
Let's go take a look at the Zhu's jewelry store.
Yeah, we can probably make 10 taels.
- I will go. - Let's go.
Outstanding! Outstanding!
Lady Zhu Zhu's last method, which is asking others to supervise,
not only can regain Zhu's reputation,
but can also bring in more customers.
I believe that your factory and workshop workers will be more careful from now on.
And the number of defective goods will be much less.
Lady Zhu's idea was so brilliant.
I just want to let people know that our products have no issue.
I didn't think as much as you did, Young Lord.
Lady Zhu is so sharp and decisive when doing things.
You have such a brain for doing business at such a young age.
It seems that the House of Zhu is not far from success.
Lady Zhu Zhu,
since the matter has been dealt with, do you now have the time
to catch up with me in a restaurant?
I will have to visit the workshops.
Changing of management
will make workers worry about their plight.
I will have to take care of their feelings
and minimize the losses.
Miss Zhu Zhu is very detailed at everything. Very good.
Then I will accompany you to the workshop.
- Hei Feng! - Here. - Send Xiao Huzi back to his place.
I will change his gauze as soon as I get back.
Yes.
My Lady, everything has been dealt with.
Good. Go get a new manager
and placate the employees under him. Young Lord Dongfang is courteously inviting me
to chat with him in a restaurant. I will leave these things to you then.
My Lady, how about I have Zuiyitai send some food over here?
What do you think?
I just want to have a chat with Your Lady in a restaurant. I'm not going to do anything to her.
Also, I'm the one who cured her illness.
Without me, she wouldn't even be here.
You don't have to be this careful with me.
It's okay. Xiaoxia will be back soon.
Don't worry. She will keep me company.
Okay. I am heading to the workshop now.
I was almost killed when I sneaked out of the manor a few days ago,
that's why they are so cautious. Please forgive them.
If Medical Sage Dongfang is not afraid of being in danger when with me,
we can go to Zuiyitai now.
I've heard about that.
Don't worry, Lady Zhu Zhu. You have me with you today.
I'm good at clearing poison, but I'm better at poisoning people.
