[ I Will Never Let You Go ]
[ Episode 30 ]
Young Lord Yuan, I think
it would be better if you demonstrate it to me.
Okay.
Look carefully.
I shoot arrows fast. Very fast.
Stay farther from me. I don't want to hurt you.
Farther. Farther.
Look.
What are you trying to do in broad daylight?
Do you know who I am?
I am the son of the Capital City Garrison Commander!
Be careful of your head if you dare touch me!
Get him!
Xiao Xia!
Take them!
Yuan Chong, what is this place? Quickly help me!
Why are you here, too?
I'm guessing that it's mostly because of you.
The poor nerd is smarter after all.
This environment is not the best,
so I prepared some snacks for everyone.
Forget about you guys,
but Miss Xiao Xia has still not fully recovered from her injuries.
It would be bad if they get infected and worsen.
Dongfang Shi, listen carefully.
Do you know who we are?
I am the son of the Capital City Garrison Commander.
He is the oldest son of an imperial censor.
If you are smart, you should release us right now.
I can pretend that nothing happened. Or else, if my father hears about this,
with his temperament, he might demolish your House of Dongfang.
We are only having a tiny little disagreement,
and you are destroying the House of Dongfang?
The House of Dongfang is a well-known family in Jingzhou.
The tax we turn in to the government every year is at least in the millions.
If you dare destroy my House of Dongfang, and the Emperor found out about it,
whatever imperial censor or capital city garrison commander
would probably lose their jobs.
Tiny disagreement? We are in your dungeon!
Really? Who can prove that I did this to you?
Right, where are we? Who owns this place?
Miss Xiao Xia,
it's not that I'm targeting you personally.The Lotus Robe Knight is who I'm looking for.
It's just that unfortunately, you were with Young Lord Yuan,
so I can only temporarily aggrieve you
and drag you here to suffer with them.
But if Yuan Chong tells me where the Lotus Robe Knight is,
I will send you back to the Zhu Manor right away.
I am the Lotus Robe Knight.
I am the god of archery.
You've already shot by me when we were at the reed field.
What? You want more of that?
Just with your fighting skill, you dare to claim you're Lotus Robe Knight?
You really think that your arrows can hurt me?
If my guess is right,
there were two people in the reed field who saved Xiao Xia.
You were one of them.
The other one was the real Lotus Robe Knight.
I heard that the Lotus Robe Knight is unrivaled in archery.
It looks like you are the real Lotus Robe Knight.
You even found yourself some help.
Unfortunately, your help doesn't have much strength.
Hei Feng, you are facing the fake one. I am facing the real one.
- Let's deal with one each! - Yes!
If Young Lord Yuan still doesn't want to tell me where the Lotus Robe Knight is,
then I will have to do something with this Young Lord Bai.
I heard you are quite well-read.
You are kind of a well-known scholar in the capital.
I don't know if you lose you tongue,
can you still be a mute prime minister in the future?
Yuan Chong, if you insist on being the hero today, I will become a mute.
Is there someone who is even closer than us?
We've known each other for twenty years.
I've known you since we were in diapers. How could you be the Lotus Robe Knight?
Dongfang Shi, if you are so great, why don't you find him yourself?
Using us as hostages, what kind of a coward are you?
Don't look at me. Just name any place.
It seems that targeting Young Lord Bai doesn't work.
I heard that Young Lord Yuan is interested in Miss Xiao Xia.
Then I will have to start with Miss Xiao Xia.
I dare you!
Come and do some torture on Xiao Xia.
Stop it!
Hurting a little girl means that you are not capable of anything.
Okay. If you have a death wish, then I'll let you have it.
Tomorrow at noon, go to the reed field where we saved Xiao Xia.
The Lotus Robe Knight and I had agreed to meet there.
Go ahead. See how he'll take care of you.
Okay. Let's wish that Lotus Robe Knight will show up at that place you said he would.
But if he doesn't show up,
I can't guarantee if that poor nerd
and your dear Miss Xiao Xia will have comfortable days.
You are so despicable.
Do you think Lady will like you?
It doesn't matter if Your Lady is going to like me or not,
because I don't want my unwedded wife to cheat on me.
That's something intolerable for a man.
Understood?
Oh, right. Your snacks.
- What? - The plate.
Don't move.
What is it, Xiao Xia?
The Lotus Robe Knight is at My Lady's place.
He finally went to visit her?
That's why, I asked you to get Dongfang Shi to leave first,
so I could find a way to escape and inform them to be careful of him.
Someone! Come!
My stomach hurts!
Someone!
Yes!
Young Master!
Young Master, are you all right?
Good. Good.
I thought that in this world, not many people could fight me.
Lotus Robe Knight!
You had the better headstart today.
You won't be this lucky next time.
Who wants your stinky money?
I will pay what we owe you!
Your fighting skills, looks,
and talent are not as good as the Lotus Robe Knight.
You can't compare to him, and he doesn't have the time to compare himself to you.
Other than killing innocent people
and threatening a weak girl like me, what else can you do?
Lotus Robe Knight, I will pay back the arrow you shot me
a hundreds times more!
Young Master.
Did you hear anything?
Miss Xiao Xia said that the Lotus Robe Knight is currently in the Zhu Manor with Lady Zhu.
Also, the three of them escaped, and I didn't stop them.
As long as we get the information, that's enough. There is no use for keeping them here.
She said the Lotus Robe Knight is currently in Zhu Manor?
Did that Zhu brat go out today?
No.
These traps are not very good.
It's just that there are lots of them. So annoying.
Dongfang Shi, since you came today, don't think of leaving.
I told Yuan Chong about the Lotus Robe Knight being here on purpose.
The truth is fake, the fake might be true.
You are too suspicious, that's why you stepped right in the trap.
You got me here on purpose?
I see that you are quite confident.
You think these rotten things can really give me a hard time?
You think I would be afraid?
Give it a try then.
What noise was that?
It sounds like the trap in Lady's yard.
Go take a look! Don't let her kill anyone!
Come here! Come here! Pull me with you!
How is it? Is he dead?
Not yet.
Lady, let's kill him.
We can't.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
You can't kill him.
Girl, how could you hurt him so bad? If his grandfather knows,
he will definitely say that our House of Zhu is breaking faith and abandoning the right,
and we even hurt his grandson!
- Don't worry. He is not dead yet. - Xiao Xia.
I'm just warning him. Who let him trespass into our Zhu Manor?
- He fainted. - He made our Zhu Manor seem like his vegetable garden.
That anyone can just come in and stroll around.
Girl, take it easy. Don't be too much.
We still owe his family after all.
Understood, Grand Master.
But we can't be too nice to him either.
Or else, he is going to...
He would think that the House of Zhu is soft!
Even though I can't kill you and take revenge for my Xiao Jiu,
I still have to punish you a little bit.
Burn!
Okay already.
Don't get too riled up. It's bad for you.
I will make sure to stay within limits.
This time, other than punishing him,
I will need to take care of the Dong Ji businesses, too.
You came up with something already?
I already have a clever idea. You will know soon, Grandfather.
I know what you are capable of.
Good. I will leave this to you. I don't want to see him anyways.
How about this, I will go fishing by the lake for a couple of days.
Enjoy yourself.
Pace yourself.
Your grandfather killed my Uncle Jiu.
Today, you ended up in my hands.
I must seek vengeance for him.
Xiao Xia, lock him up with 20 lbs of chains.
Let us slowly attend to his wounds.
Yes.
[Dongping Commandery Prince Manor]
Young Master, look.
Ever since we announced that we were doing the tea business,
and ordered the commandery commander to stop taxing the civilians harshly,
those businessmen are thanking you for helping make the connections,
and people are happy about having a new way to make a living.
Now, everyone in Dongping is so cheerful,
and people want to come visit you.
Dongping has been poor for too long.
Now that there is a new business, people would surely be very happy.
It's just that they don't have to visit me. I will have to work on something else.
Then I will find some excuses, so they won't come?
Be polite and mind your manners.
Yes.
Zhangqing.
Are you feeling better?
I'm fine now.
I'm here to say goodbye to you.
I am about to go back to Mingyue Villa.
I've had my people secretly come in to the Prince Manor
to take care of the villa's business, which was not very convenient.
Now that I am close to recovery, it's time for me to go back.
Good. Be careful.
Inform me immediately when you have any updates on Liu Mingyue.
Zhangqing.
You really wouldn't worry about me going back?
Liu Mingyue is our common enemy. I believe that
you would not hide things from me when it comes to her.
I meant... aren't you going to worry about
me being assassinated by Liu Mingyue's people when I go back?
You will probably never be able to see me again.
Since you've decided to go back to Mingyue Villa,
then you must have a way to protect yourself.
If you are in any kind of trouble, you can tell me anytime.
But I will have to remind you that when you go back this time,
Liu Mingyue will definitely notice. Just be careful.
I understand.
Just wait for my good news, Zhangqing.
Young Master, actually, Miss Liu had recovered a long time ago.
She just didn't want to leave the Prince Manor.
How did you know?
Everyone in the manor knows.
They say that... you and Miss Liu like each other.
It's impossible between us!
Right. Right.
Xiao Liu, when did you get this gossipy?
- No! - I'm telling you.
If you don't take care of these letters properly, I will remove you from your chief steward position!
Yes.
[Mingyue Villa]
Greetings, First Miss!
Greetings to the Master of the villa.
You may relax.
Thank you, Master!
Master is traveling the world.
Before she left, she ordered me to be the new master of Mingyue Villa.
You have been with my Master for many years.
You have all known me since a long time ago.
I will skip the small talks.
My teacher entrusted Mingyue Villa to me,
and I am kind of friendly with the Dongping Commandery Prince.
With the collaboration between the government and the businessmen,
Mingyue Villa will definitely be led to new heights.
Master, you're wise.
We will definitely try our best to serve you, Master.
Good.
I hope everyone can work together.
I then will be good to all of you.
If any of you betray me
and rebel in my Master's name,
don't blame me for being cruel to you.
I promise to serve you, My Master.
If I break my promise, I shall be struck with lightning.
I swear to serve you, My Master.
I will never betray you. If I break my promise,
I shall be struck by lightning.
Congratulations, First Miss, for becoming the new master of the villa.
Even though I am in the position of the master of the villa, I don't have the master's power.
Don't look at them seemingly respecting me.
Most of them still answer to Liu Mingyue.
Only if she were gone completely,
could I truly control Mingyue Villa.
I've done what the First Miss ordered...
I've done what the Master ordered,
which is investigating who still answers to Liu Mingyue inside the villa.
This is the name list. Please take a look.
Take it easy. Test every single one of them.
Those who can't be used by me, stay. Those who can't,
kill them.
Yes.
Ping'er, I need you to put on another act with me.
I want Liu Mingyue to think that the golden needle is still in me,
so she will believe that I'm still in her control.
Yes.
Good.
My Lady.
Don't let the Master find out about this drug.
If he knows, he will definitely skin me alive.
Don't worry. I'm good with secrets.
Miss, this is the Joint Softening Ten Fragrances Powder. What do you need it for?
You will find out soon.
My Lady, this is the drug I bought with more than 10 taels.
This is the best and the most expensive.
My Lady, you can't use it like this!
If you put so much, it can make people confused.
I exactly want to destroy him.
You better hide later then.
I'm afraid that Grand Master will kill me if he knows about this.
How could he know if we don't say anything?
If Young Lord Dongfang screams too loud,
just say that he has not fully recovered.
He is in pain.
Stupid girl.
You think you can keep me here this way?
Have you came up with the way to mess with me?
You will soon find out.
I think it's quite strange. You've been trapped here for days.
Why aren't your people coming here asking for you?
People from my manor are used to me disappearing and taking trips.
That's good.
I thought you were brewing some tricks in your brain again.
It's best if you are not.
Young Lord Dongfang, I prepared this tea for you to sooth your throat.
What are you trying to do?
I'm not drinking it! That tea surely has poison in it!
How could there be any problem? It's just a tea.
Stinky brat, I only pretended to be a male escort to mess with you last time,
but I didn't drug you.
I can't believe that you are so vengeful.
That's a harsh accusation.
What vengeful? I'm paying back your kindness.
Give me the antidote! Quickly give me the antidote!
[Zhu Manor]
Stinky brat...
So shameless at such a young age.
How did Grand Master Zhu raise you?
I indeed am shameless.
Someone was being shameless to enter our family just to marry me.
Comparatively, I have way more dignity.
I trespassed to Zhu Manor and harassed the chief steward of Zhu Manor, Zhu Shou.
I was caught on the spot. I know that I deserve everything, I'm shameless, unforgivable and evil.
I am not worthy to marry the Lady of Zhu anymore.
The marriage contract between the two families should be forgotten,
and I also am allowing them to pay us back in three separate payments.
The payments are due every 20 years. Written by Dongfang Shi.
You are good.
If you don't sign it, I will have someone slash your face tomorrow.
Zhu brat, I'm more and more attracted to you.
Bullshit!
Go ahead!
Just with a person like you, you still dare to dream about marrying me?
With the written proof,
if you mess around again,
I will get them printed and post them everywhere.
Why don't you just write off the debt then?
I can't do that. It's only right to pay back what you owe.
Your family helped us to get through our difficulties back then.
We can't owe you forever.
Today is paying you back for hurting Xiao Xia.
If you hurt my people again, be careful, I will destroy you.
You can't just tie me like this forever, right?!
No matter how naughty I am,
in a couple of days, people from my manor will come to look for me.
And if they see me tied up like this,
and if they decide to go after you,
the House of Zhu will definitely be in trouble.
That's indeed troublesome.
I've already signed the agreement.
Why don't you just let me go?
I haven't decided it yet.
People from your manor haven't come here yet. What's the hurry?
Just stay there and be quiet.
Zhu brat! Let me go! Zhu brat!
Zhu brat! Zhu brat!
Zhu...
Tie me up?
It seems that you are not that shameless after all.
If you had kept watching me, I wouldn't have had this chance.
This grudge...
will be repaid tonight.
Are you sure about it?
That was way too much drug.
- I'm afraid that he can't take it. - Xiao Xia,
wake me up in four hours. I'll just take a nap.
Yes.
What do you think Young Master Jiu has been teaching Lady?
Isn't her methods a bit too much?
She indeed didn't plan this well.
Forget it. Forget it.
Just go ahead. Do whatever you guys want! Make it as extreme as possible!
Let me tell you if anything happens, and the Grand Master asks about it,
I don't know anything.
How come it's you? Where is Zhu brat?
Don't tell me that she knew I was coming tonight.
Lady thought that even though you were chained,
you were too calm.
You weren't curious like the others in the same situation, which was strange.
You thought you guys did enough dirty tricks to me.
I knew that you guys used the strongest Joint Softening Ten Fragrances Powder to deal with me,
but you didn't know that they were all made by our House of Dongfang.
Lady also guessed that. She also said that
Young Lord Dongfang is a vengeful person.
If you can escape today,
then you would surely come to seek revenge on her at midnight.
I don't want Lady to get hurt, so I waited for you here.
It seems that I underestimated that girl,
but do you really think that you can stop me?
My martial arts are inferior to yours. Why would I stop you?
Suit yourself.
It must be dangerous outside.
I'm not going out.
If you don't go, I will.
You can't leave either.
Xiao Xia, are you okay?
My Lady, Young Lord Dongfang won't let me leave.
Zhu brat, you must have arranged archers outside.
I'm not stepping into the trap.
Constable Li, did you hear that?
Rather than doing decent businesses, that Dongfang Shi
came to Suzhou to undercut other businesses.
He also has Tiger Wu threatening people.
The business owners are angry, but we can't do anything. We indeed have a bigger business,
so he barged into my bedroom to do bad things.
Please help me, Constable Li. You must help give me justice!
Don't worry, Lady Zhu.
I will catch that pervert myself.
Really great, you Zhu brat.
I can't believe you even got a constable to be your witness.
You thought of that...
Be careful, My Lady! He is covering his face and about to go out!
Be careful, My Lady.
I can't believe the pervert is doing this. Please catch him, Constable Li.
Go!
Xiao Xia, are you okay?
Did anything happen to you?
I'm fine. Only some scratches.
Go get him!
Good job.
Good job, girl!
I was just worrying about how to send him away.
He recuperating here in our manor
was like keeping a tiger here. I couldn't do anything to him.
Now that this happened, their House of Dongfang
won't be able to ask for you with such conviction anymore.
The authority is involved now. We just need to wait for Constable Li to catch him.
Once the word gets out, Dong Ji's business will be hard to do.
The business owners are not happy about Dong Ji undercutting.
Now that this happened, they will surely unite to fight against Dong Ji.
With this trick of Lady of beating him up after swindling him, even if Dong Ji was not closing down,
they can't compete with our business anymore.
There is more.
I've had him sign the agreement.
We can pay back the money slowly now.
He wants to marry me? No way.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Stay With Me Team @ viki
Really?
Read this.
My Lady, this... What's written here is,
Dongfang Shi tried to harass me?!
This thing... that you wrote is...
Don't worry. I wouldn't leak this agreement out.
In the future, if Dongfang Shi still threatens me to marry him,
then I will leak it out.
- There is no future. - This...
My Lady,
this agreement doesn't have a third party as a witness,
it won't count.
But it has Dongfang Shi's fingerprint.
When did he do it?
What if he doesn't admit to it?
Don't tell me when a pimp is hiring a prostitute,
he will need a middle man.
Of course.
There are middle men for that.
Then...
what about the agreement between us and the House of Dongfang?
Your great-grandfather used his private stamp.
For the money we owe Dongfang,
even though there is no document to prove it,
we have to keep our word.
Just like the life they owe us,
they have to pay it back.
Shoot!
I spent all this effort and had Xiao Xia wrote this agreement,
and it doesn't count?
No wonder Dongfang Shi
agreed to it that quickly.
What do you need me for?
Dongfang Shi,
you trespassed into Zhu Manor last night
and tried to harass Lady Zhu.
Today,
I will arrest you myself.
- Arrest him! - Wait.
I've been in the brothel since last night.
What are you talking about?
I don't know about it.
You are still denying it?
I saw you last night.
Really?
Then did you see it clearly, Constable Li?
Every lady and brothel owners at Suzhou River can prove to you that I was in one of their ships last night.
Constable LI,
how good is your eye sight?
I seems that you arrested people from my manor.
I suggest you release them right now.
Don't catch the wrong people.
Also,
go tell House of Zhu for me that
I'm going to sue Lady Zhu for framing me.
The lawsuit complaint has already been sent to the local court.
Please invite
Lady Zhu to the court to answer it.
Hue sued me for slander?
Dongfang Shi has witnesses to prove that he was on the brothel ships?
Yes. Dongfang Shi said that
he spent a night drinking at brothels, and only left this morning.
Everyone from the brothels can prove it.
Of course, they can prove it for him.
That's their business.
Do you have evidence for that?
If you do, then their witnesses don't count.
I don't. I was careless.
In this case, Lady Zhu,
please come with us.
Okay. I will go with you.
[ Suzhou Court ]
- Something is happening here. - Dongfang Shi is also here.
So is Lady Zhu.
Both sides have bribed us enough.
In this matter, even if we try to mediate their reconciliation,
we need to ensure that their money will safely enter our bag.
Yes.
The court trial is starting!
Formidable...
Who are the people below the court? Tell us your names.
Civilian Zhu Zhu, greets Your Honor, the Magistrate.
Please rise, Miss Zhu.
Thank you, Your Honor.
How dare you Dongfang Shi?
How could you not bow upon seeing me?
I am a scholar who has passed the county's exam.
Please forgive me
for not having the need to bow.
You are a scholar who passed the civil exam?
Don't I look like one?
Okay, Dongfang Shi,
let me ask you.
You spent the night drinking on brothel ships at Suzhou River,
then why did Constable Li see you enter Zhu Manor?
Since there were so many people on the ship being my witnesses,
then
could it Constable Li saw the wrong person?
Your Honor, I am the plaintiff.
I am suing Lady Zhu for framing me
and hurting my reputation!
Your Honor,
shouldn't we interrogate her first?
Come, try this, Brother Yun.
Little Sister Dansha.
Thank you for taking care of me these past days. Or else, I wouldn't know
how long I would need to spend in bed with these injuries.
I'm happy to see you getting better.
Little Sister Dansha.
Actually, you deserve someone better.
I have a couple good friends from Feiyun.
Try this, Brother Yun.
This will help your wounds heal.
They have better personalities and better families—
Brother Yun,
stop talking.
Among the days that I was with you,
today is my happiest day.
Can we just eat?
The tofu is good.
Let me tell you this. The granddaughter of Zhu Manor went to the local court now to have a direct confrontation with Medical Sage Dongfang.
I heard that Lady Zhu is suing Medical Sage Dongfang for trespassing into Zhu Manor at midnight.
Medical Sage Dongfang is suing the House of Zhu for framing him.
That's interesting.
Then, who is telling the truth and who isn't?
Who knows?
Only the judge can judge.
Let's go look.
Let's go.
How about we go take a look, too?
I heard that the granddaughter of Zhu Manor was previously abducted by Lotus Robe Knight.
I've been wanting to ask about it.
I should go to the court and take a look.
Okay. I'm coming with you, Brother Yun.
Constable Li,
did you see him clearly last night?
Your Honor,
I personally heard last night
everyone in Zhu Manor calling that pervert as Young Lord Dongfang.
The person ran out from the room with his face covered.
He also admitted that he was Dongfang Shi.
But...
there were many people in the brothels guaranteeing that he was there,
so it's possible that someone pretended to be him.
Constable Li tried to arrest a criminal for the government was in a hurry and didn't see things clearly.
This is forgivable,
so let's forget about it.
Dongfang Shi,
you shouldn't be too unforgiving either.
Your Honor,
the one I am suing is the Lady of the House of Zhu.
I can't believe that she had someone pretend to be me
in order to hurt my reputation.
Please help me, Your Honor.
Since he pretended to be you,
then Lady Zhu and Constable Li must've made the same mistake
of recognizing the person wrongly.
Do you have any evidence saying that Lady Zhu
falsely accused you?
Your Honor, you are wise.
Please investigate clearly this case
and catch that pervert as soon as possible.
Wait!
Lady Zhu,
you want to get yourself clean? That won't be easy.
Constable Li,
let me ask you.
If you didn't know that someone would be entering Lady Zhu's bedroom last night,
why were you waiting at Zhu Manor?
Your Honor,
if Zhu Manor didn't arrange it,
how would they know that the bad person would show up?
Also, there were so many guards in Zhu Manor.
How is it possible that they couldn't stop a trespasser?
It's obvious.
Lady Zhu was the one who arranged someone
to pretend to be me,
and she found Constable Li to become a witness
in order to frame me!
Your Honor,
please seek justice for me.
Your Honor,
there was suddenly a trespasser in Zhu Manor the other night.
We were lucky that we were very cautious in our defense.
The culprit
stepped in our trap and hastily escaped.
I was the one who asked Constable Li to come
and wait for the culprit, that's why, he was there when the culprit returned,
but Young Lord Dongfang says that our Miss is trying to frame him.
This is such a
ridiculous statement.
Your Honor, it did happen.
Good.
At this point,
everything seems to be just a misunderstanding.
Good.
This case is closed.
Court adjourned.
Please wait, Your Honor.
