Sir, you're so upright, why have you been censured?
Blame me for entrusting something to the wrong person.
Got caught in their trap.
Now, there's no one by my side who I can trust.
Even though I want to punish evil and end fawning,
I can only...
Sir Xu, it's getting late, we need to set off.
What are you doing?
Young brother,
they're only doing what the law dictates,
all along the way, they've been extremely thoughtful.
Don't make things difficult for them.
A person lives in the world. There's a time to meet, a time to say goodbye.
No need to force things.
Young brother, take very good care.
Let's go.
Wife, my father was sent to Lingnan.
After that, didn't come back anymore.
Oh no!
When my father left the capital, he was killed by mountain bandits on the road.
Moreover, I remembered
I remembered that when the person sending the letter arrived at our home,
the snow in the courtyard hasn't melted.
Then let's go immediately.
Charge!
Young brother,
it's you?
It's me, I'm a physician. I can save you.
Don't talk. Save your strength.
It's no use.
Young brother, don't waste your efforts.
Forget it.
Father, your son can save you.
I've already learned medicine well. I will save you for sure.
Hanwen was mischievous in his childhood.
Was always punished by me.
The palm of his hand, where the little finger meets,
there was a crescent shaped scar.
Is it possible that...
Father, it's me.
Suzhen, that's my father's bundle.
Husband.
Never thought that I, Xu Huairen,
unexpectedly can still have this kind of fortuitous encounter.
Hanwen,
take this bundle and give it to your mother.
She'll give you...
Father.
Father? Father?
This is?
These are golden flatcakes. They're what I loved to eat the most when I was little.
I remembered that before my mother passed away,
she even made me my favorite golden flatcakes.
Your mother?
Hanwen, you've been hungry the whole day.
Quickly come eat.
If you won't agree to let me study, I won't eat.
Eat quickly.
Mother, you've consented!
I don't.
Then I won't eat.
I know that in your heart, you hate me, blame me.
Where in the world is there a mother
who doesn't hope to see her own child be educated and learn etiquette.
Your father is learned and able, upright and honest throughout his life,
yet he suffered a bad end, dying in a strange land far away from home.
Do you know how much my heart hurts?
I don't want there to be a day when you're like your father,
have a white haired person like me bury a black haired son.
I don't ask for you to rise high in the world,
I only wish you to be safe.
My mother was clever and deft.
Even her most simple golden flatcakes
were made using water from tea leaves steeped in spring water.
That day, my mother used the last three eggs remaining in the house to make cake.
She didn't even eat any herself. She gave everything to my sister and I.
Who knew, I willfully and stubbornly argued with her.
Even broke the flatcakes on the ground.
Husband.
My father always said that a real gentleman shouldn't cling to sweet foods.
I never thought that he'd always carry this with him.
He had always thought of his family.
For the sake of saving for my school tuition, my mother
wasn't careful and fell down a deep precipice.
If I had been apprenticed to a medical clinic earlier,
my mother wouldn't have died.
That was an accident. You can't be blamed.
My father said to give this to my mother.
Suzhen, I want to see my mother again.
Madam.
May I ask what you need?
Madam, my wife and I have just moved here.
My wife especially made some golden flatcakes. May you not refuse them.
Thank you.
Our son loves to eat golden cakes the most.
This is the first time my husband and I made these. Please try some and let us know how it tastes.
This taste.
My wife especially used fresh tea leaves
and steeped them in the water used for the dough.
So there's tea flavor in the cake.
How do you feel about this taste?
Young lady, surprisingly, you used the same method as me.
My son disliked golden flatcakes for being oily,
so I tried to add tea leaves in the water,
the tea flavor neutralized the oiliness. He indeed liked it a lot.
You truly cared for your son in every way possible.
I'm only afraid that the child doesn't know his parents' thoughtfulness.
A child's experience in life isn't deep. Of course they won't understand everything about a person's thoughts.
From your words, I can tell that you doted on your son quite a bit.
You're mistaken.
My son is innately kind and honest. Occasionally, he'd be stubborn and willful.
But that's because he is pure and innocent.
As a mother, how can I not understand my son's desires.
I only hope that when he grows up,
he will certainly understand my thoughtfulness.
Sir, what is it?
Some snow got into my eyes. I'm sorry.
No harm done.
Just use this handkerchief to dab them.
Why are there words on these cakes?
There's a double layer on these cakes?
You're surprisingly just like my husband.
Loves to play little tricks.
During those times, my husband also liked to send me books with letters in them.
I'm sorry. I need to pick tea leaves up the mountain.
Farewell.
Husband, let's return.
What's written in this letter?
This is the letter between Liang Mohan and the transportation envoy.
Ten years ago, the Yangtze River breached its bank.
Hu Xiang area's second prefecture, thirteenth county suffered a flood.
This Liang Mohan was audacious to the extreme.
He actually dared to embezzle the disaster relief provisions sent by the imperial court.
So it's like that. No wonder nobody found this letter.
Father-in-Law actually hid it inside the golden flatcakes.
If you hadn't given the golden flatcakes to your mother, I'm afraid it'd be difficult for this letter to see the light of day.
Heaven works in mysterious ways.
It must be father's message from heaven. He wants us to clear his charges.
What do you plan to do?
I'm going to find Prince Mu.
Sister, where did you go? I couldn't find you all day.
What is it?
You used Jing Song's treasure again. Not only that, you did it twice in a row.
Sister, you don't even have your spirit core anymore.
If you continue like this, you'll lose your life.
Don't worry Xiao Qing. This will be the last time.
I believe that Husband won't have anymore regrets from now on.
Kill him, kill him!
Disgusting corrupt official. Stealing from the people.
Bash that greedy official, kill him!
Embezzling even the relief funds, his crime can't be forgiven!
The emperor is enlightened and thoroughly investigated the truth.
I heard. The gold, silver, pearls, jewels found in his residence is enough to fill half of the national treasury.
Truly a disaster to our country and people.
Hit him! Kill him!
Damn official! Die!
Corrupt official treating human life like grass!
His heart is rotten. Black!
His conscience has been eaten by dogs.
I, Emperor by Heaven's Mandate, proclaims:
Originally the Left Vice-Minister to the Ministry of Appointments, Xu Huairen, upright and above flattery, frank with words.
Xu son and daughter redressed an injustice on their father's behalf, worthy of praise. By the emperor's grace,
a sign plaque is bestowed upon the loyal and filial family to make-whole the love between monarch and subject.
Proclaim to the country, display for all to see.
Loyal and Filial Family
Great! Wonderful!
- We give thanks to the emperor's grace. - We give thanks to the emperor's grace.
Alright, get up, get up now. Everything's going to be alright.
Wife, wife!
Hanwen, hurry and take a look!
Sister, let me see.
Brother-in-Law, no need to worry. It's a happy matter.
Happy matter? What happy matter?
Sister is pregnant. Congratulations!
This, this...th...this is great!
Brother-in-Law, then I'll take Sister back to rest.
Hurry, hurry!
Your sister!
Hanwen, Mister Xu suffered wrongs for eighteen years. Finally, the wrong has been redressed.
Your brother-in-law is also happily having a child. Double happiness in the family. Truly deserves congratulations.
Thank you Your Highness.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Thank you for speaking in the name of justice before the emperor, making it possible for Liang Mohan to be executed.
Prime Minister Liang took bribes and bent the law, hiding from the heavens for a long time already.
Only because you didn't fear power and risked your life to obtain evidence,
was it possible to clear the official's name.
My father was uncorrupted, righteous, and loyal.
As his son, of course I have to inherit our family traditions and not bring shame to our ancestors.
Good! Truly deserves to be called a loyal subject.
The last dried herb is five copper coins, correct?
You've pretty much remembered all of the prescriptions for prenatal care.
Sister Xu is with child, I dare not be careless.
Sister, don't worry. In the future, gathering and brewing medicines can be left to me.
Then don't let the slightest mishap occur in the future.
Wrap it up.
Once Sister Xu take these medicines, her health will certainly be better.
That's right. Let's hurry and send them to her.
Jin Ruyi? Why are you here?
Sister Bai, I came to congratulate Sister Xu.
I know you don't want to see me. I'll be leaving right away.
Take care. Not sending you off.
My god, another one fell.
What's with Ruyi?
She deliberatey consumed things that worked against the medicine, resulting in dizziness, weakness, and a disordered pulse.
She's really too pitiful.
Suzhen,
Ruyi is a girl. She came up with this bad ides just so she can stay at our home.
Sister, Ruyi has a family of her own.
Even if she doesn't want to manage Jishi Hall, we can still provide her with needed food and clothing.
It's just that based on her personality, it's not a good idea for her to stay at our house.
Suzhen, now that I'm with child.
The three of you all are busy with your own things. With Ruyi at our house,
she can take care of me.
But...
Are you concerned about Hanwen? Don't worry, Hanwen is completely devoted to you.
Ruyi being at our house won't affect your position.
Sister, this is not what I mean. It's not that I don't trust Husband.
Forget it. Sister, if you insist on taking in Ruyi, then I'll listen to you.
Good. I knew that you're highly principled.
I'll take a look at her.
what's wrong with Ruyi?
Brother Hanwen, you came to see me?
Ruyi. You're weak, so don't get up.
Will you check my pulse?
I already prepared a prescription for her.
Good.
I won't take anyone else's prescription. I want Hanwen to treat me.
Suzhen is more knowledgeable than me. It's inappropriate for me to take over a patient that's under her care.
Ruyi, this is a regulation of the trade. You should understand.
It's your own home, yet you use trade regulations to shut me up.
I'm a patient. Don't I even have the freedom to choose my physician?
At a medical clinic, you have the right to choose a physician,
but this is a home, so stop insisting on it.
I feel dizzy and weak, so uncomfortable.
I'll go prepare some medications for you. Wife, let's go.
What ample resentment! They're keeping a girl filled with so much jealousy and hatred
in their home. I'm very happy.
Bai Suzhen, I won't forgive you!
You're living under someone else's roof. Stop boasting.
Sister Xu...
you...
you're not Sister Xu?
You are me.
I am you!
Miss Xiao Qing!
- Why did you leave the moment I arrived? - I have nothing to say to you.
Moreover, my sister already told me to keep my distance from you.
What are you doing?
I sincerely wanted to apologize to you. It's fine if you don't want to eat it. Why did you waste my efforts?
You're really shameless!
These two young ladies, don't argue and harm your friendship.
Miss Xiao Qing, why don't you come visit my home?
Miss Xiao Qing, what happened before was all my fault. I hope you and Miss Bai will forgive me.
Xiao Qing.
Are you alright?
This has nothing to do with Miss Xiao Qing. It's my own fault.
Jin Ruyi, not becoming a performer is a waste of your acting talent.
Xiao Qing, apologize.
What for?
Ruyi has been expressing goodwill, don't you take advantage of her.
Me taking advantage of her? When I saw her, I avoided her like the plaque.
I couldn't evade her fast enough.
Apologize!
I'm sorry, Miss Xiao Qing, in the future, I'll pay attention
and certainly won't allow myself to fall.
Suzhen is too magnanimous. She spoiled you.
There are proper behaviors in everything. Ruyi, let's go.
Suzhen.
Sister.
Come...come see what good deed your Xiao Qing has done.
Sister, don't listen to them. I didn't do anything.
Miss Xiao Qing didn't do anything. I was the one who wasn't careful and became wounded like this.
That's exactly how it was!
You're even making excuses.
Ruyi, if you can't get along with Xiao Qing, then return to your own home.
I'm the one who had her stay.
The Xu family is indebted to the Jin family.
Our two Jin and Xu families has always been as close as one family.
Her staying at our home is the right and proper thing to do.
What right and proper? Did you forget the matter of Sister and Master Xu's separation?
Suzhen. You should properly teach your maid.
Tell her what her manners should be in front of the lady of the house.
Sister.
Even when father was around, our family didn't care much about etiquette.
Moreover, Suzhen treats Xiao Qing like a real sister,
I also don't view her as an outsider. May sister use more discretion when speaking.
Hanwen, you and Ruyi are childhood sweethearts,
you should be clear about who's close and who's not.
Come.
Sit down.
You don't need to go anywhere. Just stay at our home.
You won't be disadvantaged staying at our house.
There also certainly won't be anyone bullying you.
Thank you, Sister.
My wife. What are you up to?
Our house has barely been peaceful for two days and you bring that Ruyi here.
Aren't you clearly sowing discord?
As the main wife, one should have a tolerant character.
If Sister-in-Law is unable to accept even such a small grievance,
then how can she serve our Hanwen?
Serving? Main wife? Xiaorong, you didn't speak like this in the past.
In the past, I had eyes, but no pupils. In the future, I'll be careful in every way,
so that other people will have nothing to criticize.
No-
Bu..bu
Lord's Heart Brothel
You're going to sell me off for just this little amount of money?
Thank you. Thank you.
Stop moving around. Careful or I'll whip you.
It's fine. It's fine, young lady. Stop jerking around.
Stay still obediently.
Lord's Heart Brothel
Corruption, obsession, hate, love, evil, greed.
Some more. Even more.
Sister Bai
Husband is not home. I especially came to see you. I saw that you haven't eaten breakfast.
This snake bone soup is most nourishing. Hurry and try it.
What's the matter?
What's the matter here?
Sister Xu, it's all my fault. I knew that Sister Bai doesn't like me
yet I even made some soup to seek her favor.
Suzhen has never eaten this kind of soup. Next time, don't bring this kind of thing to her again.
-Brother Hanwen -You're okay, right?
It's your wrong this time. Why try to curry favor for no reason?
What if someone drank your soup and got a headache and a fever? How would you explain?
Sister
Suzhen, I plan to renovate the Xu family's ancestral hall.
If you have time tonight, come over so we can discuss it.
Sister, why don't you arrange it.
Step aside.
Miss Xiao Qing, if you don't want to make things difficult for your sister in the Xu family,
you'd better control your temper well.
Don't use my sister to threaten me. If my sister were here, she'll be the same and won't be courteous with you.
What's there to laugh about?
I'm laughing that you're on your deathbed and don't even know it.
You sister won't even be able to protect herself, how would she have the energy to be discourteous to me?
- What do you mean? - Sister Xu already knows that the two of you are demons.
She already visited Hidden Spirit Temple to request a magic treasure capable of driving away evil spirits.
A tightly knit formation of realgar has also been set up at the ancestral hall.
Why don't you go and bury your sister?
Sister!
Sister.
You came? The Xu family's ancestors are here. Light the incense.
Realgar arrows?
You evildoer, facing the Xu family's ancestors yet you still dare to resist?
Who are you?
I am she and she is me.
You're the heart demon. Immediately leave my sister-in-law's body!
I'm in her heart to begin with. How can I leave?
Bai Suzhen, release your hate
and resentment and combine with me.
We'll be even stronger!
Tell me, why have they been gone for so long and still haven't returned? Aren't your sister and wife dawdling too much?
Look how I've warmed this soup up twice already.
Eat a bit of this.
It's bad! It's bad, Brother Hanwen!
What is it?
Miss Bai... Miss Bai is fighting at the ancestral hall.
Miss Xiao Qing killed Sister Xu!
What?
Sister.
Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing, stop.
I...
Not good. Sister-in-law seems to be controlled by the heart demon.
She's carrying a child. Is it possible that the heart demon wants to...
Stop, stop!
- Suzhen! - Xiaorong, Xiaorong, are you alright?
Sister Xu!
-Come, quickly get up. -Sister Xu!
Sister-in-law, what were you doing?
-I... -Wasn't Sister Xu just a little cold to you?
- Did you have to act so viciously? - Shut up!
-Suzhen -Hanwen. Hanwen.
Check your sister's pulse. Has the fetus been affected?
Sister
Her fetus doesn't seem very stable. Brother-in-law, take her home. I'll prepare some medicine for her.
Go. Let's go home. Nothing can happen to you, Jiaorong.
-Suzhen -Slowly, Sister Xu
If there's anything my sister did wrong towards you, I apologize on behalf of her.
But Sister's already pregnant. This is sister and brother-in-law's only child in seven years.
I must protect her.
Hanwen, listen to me. We really can't keep this child. He'll cause Sister Xu to die.
But the child is innocent.
Sister
Hanwen
Suzhen
You really are a monster.
Where's Hanwen?
What do you say?
Jiaorong, Jiaorong, it's fine. Everything's fine. Don't be excited.
You're pregnant right now. You can't have something bad happen to you.
Sister, are you still uncomfortable anywhere?
Hanwen! Hanwen! Hanwen! Hanwen, you're okay, right?
Are you alright, Hanwen? It's good that you're fine.
Sister, don't be anxious. You're pregnant right now.
Unstable emotions are normal reactions. In the future, don't worry about troubles at home.
Just hand it over to Xiao Qing and Suzhen to resolve.
No, no, no! You can't hand it over to them. They are monsters! They will harm my kid. You can't let her get close to me!
Sister
- Sister-in-law - She...
- She's a monster! Make her go outside! Make her go outside! -Sister, calm down a bit.
Sister
That's Suzhen. Calm down a bit.
She's sister-in-law.
No, no, no. She's a monster! She's a monster!
She will harm me and harm you. I beg you. Make her go outside.
I beg you. Make her go outside! Make her go outside!
It's okay. It's okay, Jiaorong.
Suzhen, go take care of Xiao Qing.
I'm here. Sister is already pregnant.
She's received a shock and has signs of a miscarriage.
I can't have her be too upset.
Sister-in-law, sorry.
Your sister is pregnant right now. We only got this child after we longed for seven or eight years.
Brothers-in-law is really sorry towards you. Go out first.
Then take care of Sister well. If you need anything, tell me.
Alright, alright, alright, alright.
It's fine now.
Sister, it's fine now.
You have me, it's fine now.
Sister Bai, I forgot to tell you.
From today on. I will manage Sister Xu's affairs.
Brother Hanwen and Big Brother Li really don't trust you.
Hanwen, did you know that they were monsters early on already?
Never be with them! They are not good!
Sister, you're pregnant and dreamed of snakes. That's a good omen.
A child lord. He'll be rich and blessed.
As long as you take care of your body well, everything will be fine.
- Listen to Hanwen. - It's fine if it's only a dream.
The two of them acted against sister at the ancestral hall. How should that be explained?
Brother Hanwen, there are some things that can't conceal.
At the time, what harmed you to the extent you nearly lost your life. Wasn't it that snake spirit?
Sister Xu already saw it with her own eyes.
Could her vision have been bad?
Ruyi!
Come with me.
-Drink the medicine. -I don't want to drink it right now. -Alright, drink it later then.
Sister has been shocked. The pregnancy isn't stable.
If you continue to spout nonsense and affect her nerves, don't come into my house anymore.
Sister Xu is your relative. After much harships, Big Brother Li and her got their own child.
Are you really not thinking about the mother and child's safety at all?
For the sake of that Bai Suzhen, is it worth it for you to abandon everyone else and not care about us anymore?
