[ I Will Never Let You Go ]
[ Episode 32 ]
Aren't these Medical Sage Dongfang and the granddaughter of House of Zhu?
Weren't they suing each other at court?
Why are they sharing a horse today?
Don't you remember? The other day at court,
didn't he say that his love towards Miss Zhu
was strong and passionate?
Maybe Miss Zhu was touched,
so she agreed to be with him.
- That so? - Didn't you say that you were taking me to see some flowers?
Why are we just strolling on the street?
Can't you figure out what I'm doing?
Why would I have to marry you
after paying back the debt?
Stop dreaming.
There is no way for you to repay
everything the House of Zhu owes.
You are in my room alone with me.
Aren't you afraid?
What do I have to be afraid of?
You won't eat me.
Also,
Xiao Xia and my bodyguards from Zhu Manor are definitely outside.
If I don't leave the room,
they will definitely flatten this place.
Dongfang Shi,
it's really true that a golden or a silver house can't compare to one's dog home.
Your room looks pretty good.
Are you sarcastically cursing me?
Are you so sure that I won't do anything to you?
I think
that you only want money.
Why?
Think about it.
With your qualities,
you can get any kind of girl you want,
and I am just a girl who grew up on the streets.
I'm rude and unbridled.
You are just not happy that I don't want to marry you.
If I really agreed to marry you,
not only couldn't you get your money back,
you wouldn't need to spend much money on the betrothal present.
How could a smart businessman like you make a losing deal like that?
What if I only want you?
I don't understand then.
Why did your grandfather make the rule of marrying a daughter from the House of Zhu?
If you really want to know,
I will tell you once you marry me.
I know.
Because the daughter from the House of Zhu are very beautiful.
But you don't have to be so clingy.
Unless...
Your grandfather was once chased by his enemies,
and my ancestor
saved him?
Out of his love for this beauty,
your grandfather worked hard and became rich.
He finally found an opportunity and helped Master Zhu Qi out of dire straits.
He then used this as a condition to marry a Zhu's daughter.
Am I right?
Zhu brat,
I didn't know you could be a storyteller.
Unfortunately, your grandfather didn't think that
the 10th generation daughter of the House of Zhu would be like this.
She is not pretty, nor is she well-educated.
She also used to be a beggar on the street.
She is just pretending to be a lady.
If you really married me,
your ancestors
would definitely get mad and jump out of their graves to kill you.
If you keep talking,
they might really get angry and jump out of their grave to kill you.
I was wrong?
Then you tell me.
What is the real reason?
Do you really want to know why I want to marry you?
Don't you want to know why
I have to asked you out today?
So you planned things a long time ago?
We are not
just admiring flowers and the moon today?
You drugged me and forced me to sign the agreement in Zhu Manor.
Shouldn't I repay your kindness today?
The weather is great today.
Let's not eat inside. Let's go to that Suzhou River—
You want to leave?
Too late.
Dongfang Shi,
you said that you wouldn't harass me.
Who said that I would harass you?
I have a good show to let you watch.
You surely would never have expected who would be performing.
A show?
I especially prepared it for you.
What? You are afraid to watch?
So you have something you're afraid of to.
Get away.
Cousin Yun!
- Fourth Lady! - Stop shouting!
They can't hear you.
Why did you catch them?
I saw the guy inside liked you very much,
so I made a move on him.
He has no beef with you.
Why are you doing this to him?
No beef with me?
He likes my future wife.
I am already kind to him this way. Do I have to kill him then?
You can't kill him!
Don't you want to avenge?
Just come at me!
Why do you have to hurt people who are close to me?
You are only making me
hate you more.
You hate me anyways.
I don't care if you hate me more.
Let them go!
If you want me to let them go,
figure out how to open the door.
There must be a switch.
There must be a switch to the room.
Forget about it.
There's no switch.
It's expensive.
Are you taking down my house?
I was at my fault
that I drugged you.
Whatever you do to me,
I will not complain.
But I'm begging you to let them go.
You care about him so much that
you kneel in front of me?
He is a friend who's worthy to be valued by me in this life.
I don't want him to get in trouble because of me.
I don't want him to have regrets because of me.
Please,
let them go.
What if I don't?
I promise
that I will never go against you.
I will do
whatever you ask me to do.
Please!
Let them go!
You are crying this painfully for that guy.
Aren't you afraid that the Lotus Robe Knight would be jealous?
Forget it.
I just want you to see the show.
Since you don't want to look,
then it's time to end the show.
Hei Feng!
Young Master.
Let them go.
Yes.
What do you want to do now?
I am letting them go now, and they don't know that I was the one behind it.
If you don't want this to happen again, you need to keep it a secret.
I believe that man won't want you to see him like that.
I won't say anything.
Let them go and don't hurt them again.
I don't care about them at all.
I've achieved my purpose, so I won't pick on them again.
Little Sister Dansha!
Wake up!
Little Sister Dansha.
Are you okay?
Cousin Yun, Fourth Lady,
sorry.
I hope you can be safe.
Are you at ease now?
Do you promise
not to pick on them again?
I always keep my word,
including marrying you.
You asked me out today for getting back at me.
Okay, now you've reached your goal.
May I go now?
You just said that you will never go against me and will do everything I asked you to do.
You broke your promise this fast.
When did I ever say that?
Why don't I remember?
Good! Good!
I finally met a girl hooligan.
Zhu brat, if you were like a piece of wood,
I wouldn't want you.
Then I will be a piece of wood.
Too late!
Men from the House of Dongfang
have to marry a woman from the House of Zhu.
Remember this, I will go after you for the rest of my life.
You, Zhu Zhu, belong to me.
Then you remember this,
I will never marry you.
You can't decide on that.
Okay. I will stop talking nonsense with you.
Let's go. I'm sending you back to Zhu Manor.
No need. I will go back by myself.
I don't want to see you for another second.
But I want to see you all the time!
Hei Feng.
- Here. - You can go back first.
Yes.
Why does Dongfang Shi have the badge from Prince of Cheng Manor?
Weren't all the assets of Prince of Cheng Manor already confiscated by the last emperor?
My Lady!
My Lady.
Xiao Xia, we don't go out a lot, so no rush to go back.
Go walk around with me.
Let's go.
I will get rid of Hua Buqi for you,
so you don't have to worry about it anymore.
I am worried that Master and Young Master—
Madam, rest assured. I will disfigure my face.
I will never let Master and Young Master find out about my real identity.
No. You cannot do it.
If I can kill Hua Buqi without letting Master know,
I will go back to the villa and protect you for the rest of my life.
You take care, Madam.
Hei Yan!
- My Lady, let's go check that out. - Sure.
My Lady, look at this!
- What about this? - Steamed buns!
Come check it out.
Come over here! Check it out!
My Lady!
Someone help us!
I am a doctor! I can help her! Get out of my way!
Two people follow me and send her back to the manor for treatment.
The rest of you, search the whole street. Find out who hurt her!
Yes!
Xiao Xia! Let me see Miss Zhu!
Today, it was you who insisted on bringing her out, that's why she got injured.
Who knows if you were the assassin.
Someone come here!
- Yes! - Yes!
Okay.
I don't want to fight with you anyway.
But you better find out who hurt Miss Zhu.
I will kill him in the most painful way!
Did Master send someone else to kill Hua Buqi?
Who sent you here to kill Miss Zhu?
Young Lord,
I don't know how I offended you.
Please let me go.
Keep acting.
You were following her the whole time.
And what's up with that crossbow in your hands?
Speak.
Who sent you here to kill Miss Zhu?
Another suicide assassin.
Get every secret guard in Suzhou City on the move!
We have to find the assassin of Miss Zhu!
And find out who the body is I brought back!
Search everything on him! Don't leave out any details!
I will be on it right away!
And keep a close eye on the Zhu Manor. If there's any news,
immediately inform me.
Yes!
Zhu brat, you stay safe...
- Go get a doctor! - Yes.
- Go notify the Grand Master. - Yes!
What? She is hurt?
My baby girl! My girl!
Where is my baby girl?
Girl! Girl?
Where is my granddaughter?
Lady Zhu and Chief Steward Shou went to Dongping Commandery.
To Dongping Commandery? What happened?
Lady wants to go to Dongping Commandery, but she didn't want Dongfang Shi to know,
so she deliberately agreed to have a leisure date with Dongfang Shi.
But on her way back, she pretended to get hurt from an assassination attempt. Grand Master got furious
and decided to send more people to protect her.
Not allowing any outsiders to get in contact with her.
This way, Dongfang Shi will think that she is just resting at home.
He won't develop any suspicions.
No wonder.
I was wondering why she would agree to Dongfang Shi's invitation so fast.
This is to set Dongfang Shi and me up.
No wonder she kept this a secret,
and I have no choice but to cover up her lies.
Lady begs for your forgiveness. She has came up with other ways to make money.
On her trip to Dongping Commandary, she guaranteed that she can make at least three million taels of silver for the House of Zhu.
Three million taels of silver?
This girl, what is she up to this time?
Why didn't she bring you along?
Lady said that if I go with her, Dongfang Shi would notice something was wrong quickly.
So, I should stay here and mislead Dongfang Shi for now.
This smart ass.
What's the news?
Lady Zhu is safe now. She is resting at home.
Also, Grand Master Zhu has announced that
no guests are allowed to disturb her rest.
Even if Lady Zhu unfortunately passed away,
he would donate every penny of his, rather than give it to his family.
She is fine and that's what matters.
She is fine, that's great.
Young Master, it seems Master Zhu is really furious this time.
If he were to really donate all his assets, we would get nothing!
You can rest assured, I will not let my girl Zhu pass away.
Today, I will go to Zhu Manor and visit her.
Young Master, the Zhu Manor must be under very tight security now. You mustn't take the risk.
I have been fooled once, of course I won't make the same mistake twice.
I just want to go see how she is doing. There will be no danger.
- Young Master— - Enough!
Stop nagging. I know what to do.
Xiao Xia, are you all right?
It was My Lady who got hurt. I am fine.
Which part did she get hurt? Nothing serious?
If she got hurt, that boy is going to be broken-hearted.
She is fine now, but she needs to rest.
She cannot get disturbed by others.
It's good that she is fine.
You didn't know this.
When I was in the hostel, and I heard the news of Your Lady getting hurt,
I was so worried. I really don't want anything bad to happen to her.
But, actually, I'm more worried that you will get hurt protecting her.
I am fine. You don't need to worry.
I am very relieved to see you are safe.
Xiao Xia,
I am going back to the capital city tomorrow.
You have stayed in Suzhou long enough. It's time for you to go back.
It's also my fault.
Last time, when I escaped from Dongfang Shi's place, I wrote a letter to my father.
I... I just wanted my dad to teach him a lesson,
but I didn't expect my dad to scold me instead.
He said that I've been idling my time all day and should go back to the capital right now.
General is right. You shouldn't be playing around outside anymore.
Xiao Xia,
when I go back, I want to ask my dad to come here to Suzhou and propose marriage.
What do you think?
Young Lord Yuan,
I have told you that I will never marry anyone.
Why are you so stubborn?!
Xiao Xia, we've known each other for so long.
Don't you like me for a tiny bit?
Young Lord Yuan, you should go back to the capital soon.
There are girls way better than me waiting for you there.
But they are not you!
I will not marry anyone.
Xiao Xia,
I will leave around 'si' hour (9:00 - 11:00 a.m.) tomorrow. Will you come to send me off?
I still need to look after My Lady.
Xiao Xia!
Okay. You look after her.
I will leave you alone.
On going back this time, my dad wants me to get a job in the government.
I think I will never have the time to come back to Suzhou after.
You can stop worrying about someone climbing over the wall,
sneaking in the yard, and getting annoyed by it.
Xiao Xia,
I will leave now.
I am Yuan Chong! My father is the Capital City Garrison Commander!
No...
I read a lot of military books and last year I was accepted as the candidate for imperial examination!
I'm not married, and I don't have an assigned wife!
I will be going home in a couple of days!
Wait!
Before I go, I only want to see you once more!
I like you.
When I go back home, I will ask someone to propose marriage.
Miss Xiao Xia, you...
Give me a chance.
I... will definitely cherish and love you.
Stop! Stop!
My Lady, the weather is so damp and hot.
People need to rest, so does the horse.
My horse is carrying quite a load.
You just found out?
By the way, you are the Young Master now, I am your servant.
So, you should just call me Ah Zhu. Stop calling me "Lady."
Okay. Okay.
Ah Zhu. Ah Zhu. I'll call you Ah Zhu from now on.
Also, is that the road to Dongping Commandery?
Yes. This road leads to Dongping Commandery,
and this one is to Suizhou.
Okay. Let's go to Suizhou later.
Why? If we go on that road, we are going to spend way more days.
Dongfang Shi is too smart.
I am afraid that he will find out about our plan, so we can't directly head to Dongping.
We are going to follow all the gambling houses and go to Suizhou.
Make some cash along the way.
So if he does find us, he won't know our real purpose.
He would think we are making money to pay for the debt.
Ah Zhu, are we really going to Dongping Commandery?
Last time, when you asked me to send medicines
and money to Commandery Prince of Dongping,
I was very confused.
Your relationship with Commandery Prince
isn't as bad as what's being said in the capital city gossip.
It feel like it's actually better.
You are right. My relationship with Commandery Prince
is not only very good,
it's extremely great.
This Dongfang family is too mysterious,
and it's so weird that they insist on marrying the daughter of my House of Zhu.
Do you know that
I was able to steal an imperial badge of the Prince of Cheng from him today?
How is the Prince of Cheng related to him?
So I was thinking,
since Commandery Prince of Dongping is also a royal member, he surely knows about Prince of Cheng.
If we go ask him, he can give us something!
So that's the reason...
Okay! We will do what you said.
Let's go to Suizhou and make some money first.
Let's go.
Oh, Young Master, let me help you up.
- But you are so heavy. - Okay. Okay.
I didn't expect this girl could even steal.
Zhu brat,
you can always come up with some new tricks
that can hook up my interest.
You have to recover.
I also must marry you.
Otherwise, my future days
will be very boring.
This time, I won't be taking the ground route.
Let's see what trick you still have this time?
Xiao Xia!
I am not here to fight you. I am here to visit the Zhu brat.
You even have the nerve to see her?
It was because of me being too flamboyant,
that the whole Suzhou Prefecture knew we were out together,
but I have nothing to do with the assassination attempt.
If I wanted to kill her,
you wouldn't even have any chance to fight back.
She must be dead now.
My Lady was gravely injured and is now sleeping.
Stop disturbing her!
It's exactly because I knew—
It's exactly because I knew she was hurt, that's why I came to see her.
Look at my clothing.
I didn't want to alarm your security.
I don't want to fight with your house.
I don't trust your doctor.
That's why, I especially came to check her condition.
No need. Please go back.
Xiao Xia,
she will get better sooner with my care.
I am afraid she is going get more traumatized.
Young Lord Dongfang, no need for your efforts anymore.
The least person our Miss want to see is you.
How come bodyguards like you--
...are so narrow-minded?!
Talking to you is just wasting my efforts.
I fear that you won't be capable to.
I must see Zhu brat tonight.
Stop!
I said it already that I don't want to fight with you people.
I just want to know where she is now.
Grand Master has already guessed that you would trespass into here.
He already transferred Lady to a safer place.
No one can find her.
Is she awake or unconscious?
How is her chest wound? You can tell me those, right?
You think I will tell you?
Xiao Xia, tell me where she is now.
- I have nothing to say. - Where is she?!
Stop him!
You want to die?
You all think you can stop me?
My Lady wants me to relay a message to you.
She doesn't want to see you again.
Don't worry.
I will not grant her wish.
So stubborn!
They actually won't let a Medical Sage like me treat her!
They are all so stubborn!
Young Master.
Say it!
The items on that man whose face was full of scars
whom you brought back last time,
were all purchased here in Suzhou Prefecture.
There are no clues that we can use to continue our investigation.
Also,
based on where Lady Zhu was standing and the angle of the arrow that hit her,
the position of the shooter
is on the second function room of Jubaozhai.
- We've already— - On the second floor of Jubaozhai?
Something's wrong.
Young Master,
the deduction on the position of the shooter can't be wrong.
I'm saying that
this incident of Lady Zhu getting shot by an arrow
is very fishy.
I personally saw the secret guards of Zhu Manor jumping down from the second floor of Jubaozhai.
If they were the ones who shot her...
Young Master,
what you mean is
the secret guards of Zhu Manor
got bribed?
It's also possible that Zhu brat wasn't really injured.
This might be just a set up of hers.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by Stay With Me Team @ viki
You've waited for her for two hours.
If she was to come, she would have come.
Let's go.
Looks like you do care about that idiot.
I initially wanted to abduct you and force you to rat out the whereabouts of that Zhu brat.
I don't need to now.
I just need to deal with that idiot.
Say it.
Where is she?
If you don't say it, I'll immediately send people to ambush that stupid and poor nerd along their way.
Lady is in the manor recuperating.
Still want to fool me?
Yesterday, I was suspicious.
Today, I'm more convinced.
Zhu brat was neither hit by an arrow,
nor in the Zhu Manor recuperating.
Or else, you wouldn't be coming here to send that idiot off.
You would be staying in Zhu Manor to protect her.
I've also found out
that Zhu Shou is missing, too.
Looks like he's with that brat.
You can think whatever you want.
Lady is in the manor recuperating,
and has never left.
Kill them.
Yes.
Lady went to the capital.
Why did she go there?
Go there to earn money.
The House of Mo occupies most of the shops in the capital.
How much can the shops of House of Zhu earn there?
Xiao Xia,
your lie is so obvious.
If you don't believe me, you can go there and have a look.
But...
do you dare go there?
Why wouldn't I dare?
Oh! I understand now.
The capital is where Lotus Robe Knight frequently appears.
That brat went to see Lotus Robe Knight, right?
I have nothing to say.
Stinky brat.
Could she have really went to the capital to find Lotus Robe Knight and investigate the matter of Prince of Cheng's Imperial Badge?
Young Master.
Tell the painter to make 200 copies of this.
Send the portrait to all our men in different counties and provinces.
Tell them to take note of these two people.
If there is any news, immediately inform me.
Yes.
Wait.
Pack our things.
We'll immediately set out to the capital.
Young Master,
could this be a plot of Lady Zhu to lure a tiger out of its lair?
Oh, my...
Hei Feng, your stubbornly close brain has finally started to open up.
It's fine.
If Zhu brat wants to play, I'll play with her.
I don't care if she's just luring me away from here.
Let's go to the capital first.
Wow! This is indeed the number one gambling place in Suizhou.
There are so many people.
Ah Zhu,
you really plan to exchange that with silver?
It's quite a waste if we don't use your idea.
Why not just sell them to a gambling place and earn some money to pay back our debts.
Let's quickly go inside. Let me see the skills of Jiangnan's number one gambler.
- Let's go. - Customers!
- Please enter! - I won! I won!
I bet on a pair.
Hurry! Hurry!
How do you play this?
Very easy.
If it's not one digit, then it's a pair. Do you want to play a few rounds?
Sure. Sure.
Pair!
We won again!
Collect the money!
Go ask that Young Lord
if he's interested in entering the function room for some rounds of gambling.
I understand.
This Young Lord,
my Master wants to invite you for some betting games inside our function room.
I don't know if you two are interested.
Your Master has great sight.
He knows that my Young Master is highly skilled.
Young Master, let's gamble with them.
Okay.
I have to trouble you to lead the way then.
- Okay. - Sirs, this way please.
The fish has taken the bait.
My surname is Qi.
I'm the manager of this Yiliang (One Tael) Gambling House.
I love gambling.
Especially meeting friends through gambling.
Seeing you earlier,
you're able to discern if it's a one-digit or paired just based on the sound.
You've really mastered the skills.
I then developed the desire to befriend you.
May I ask how I should address you?
I'm Sima Shou.
Oh, from the House of Sima. It's an honor to meet you at last.
Manager Qi, no need to be courteous.
Although people from our House of Sima are all good in gambling,
it's rare for us to show our skills.
Hence, we're not that popular in this aspect.
I think no need for such honor.
I actually came here to discuss a deal with your gambling house.
Don't know if you're interested with it.
Ah Zhu.
Manager Qi, please look.
In our House of Sima, we call this item the Great Wheel of Fortune.
The nine numeric characters are placed on the circular dish.
Turn it nine times.
When it stops, the number where the wooden ball stops
is the winning number.
If it stops in a golden column,
he'll then win three times the amount he bet.
If it's the silver column, his winning is doubled.
For the other numbers,
they can bet as red or black, single or paired,
or bet on the exact number.
The banker can actually control the number.
But in the eyes of a gambler,
this would look fairer than shaking some dice and betting for big or small.
For a huge gambling place
like Yiliang Gambling House,
it's already time to push out the old, and bring in something new.
Or else, if it's always just big or small, or identifying the dice,
isn't it a bit too boring?
Manager Qi,
what do you think?
Of course. This is only a design draft.
If you are interested,
I can show you
the blueprint.
It's more detailed and accurate.
So Young Lord came to my gambling house
just to sell this to me?
Actually, Manager Qi, there's something that you don't know.
Although our House of Sima are into research and development of gambling equipment,
we never open gambling houses.
For good items like this,
it should be placed in a famous gambling place like Yiliang Gambling House,
so it won't be a waste of our blood and sweat.
Yes. Yes.
How much are you asking for it?
Just one fixed price, 500 thousand taels.
