[Cinderella Chef] [Episode 40]
Rabbits for sale! Rabbits for sale!
Hey, young master, do you want to buy a rabbit? They are really lively and cute.
You can buy one and give it to your wife. She will surely like it.
- Don't move! - How come there's a rabbit here?
Little Eight gave it to me. He said I'm cute like this rabbit.
I will buy one male and one female.
Sorry, young master, all I have are male rabbits. If you want a female one,
my house is right up ahead. You have to come along with me.
All right.
Young master, this way, please.
Owner...

Retreat!
Chunyu, what happened to you?
- Old stuff. -That looks so bad
- I will tell Marquis. - Don't!
- I don't want him to worry. - Come over here first.
What is that?
This is a new medicine I just invented. It will help disinfect the wound.
All right, just some more medicine. Hang in there.
Even if you can't be a prince,
- you can still be a pharmacist. - No matter what job I do,
it's enough as long as I can help my friend.
Chunyu, what did you mean when you said "old stuff?"
It's all about fights over money and power.
Rest assured. It's nothing.
You stop there!
What is your relationship with the Tianying Gang?
What are you implying?
Chunyu was hurt by Tianying Gang's special hidden weapon, the Solar Hammer. Did you arrange it?
Xia Chunyu was hurt?
How come... I wasn't informed of such an incident?
When Brother-in-Law was alive, he was always in touch with some gangs in the martial arts world.
Did you utilize this connection and send someone to kill him?
If you are already so positive about it,
why do you still need my confirmation?
You are admitting it then?
You have any proof? If you don't, why would I admit to such nonsense?
Hmph!
We have been married for so many years. I know you inside out.
Chunyu has always been an eyesore to you, even more so now!
From Sir Fuyi to the cooking competition,
you are the one behind the curtain for all of these things. Are you not?
Ridiculous. Xia Chunyu is hiding a demoted prince.
Who wants him dead? You really need me to still tell you the answer?
You and the Crown Prince have a good relationship. Don't think I'm unaware of that.
Marquis.
You are best at saving your reputation. As for the accusation of forming alliances for private gain,
not only would a woman like me be unable to bear that crime, I think even the whole Marquis Manor couldn't bear such a crime.
Best that you understand!
Luckily, Chunyu is safe this time.
I'm warning you to stop right now. Otherwise,
don't blame me for forgetting our many years of marital affection.
Marital affection?
Marquis,
- did we ever really have that? - Don't push your luck.
Xia Chunyu was hurt and you think I did it.
It's like I'm really a malicious and evil woman.
Yes, I can't treat him as my own son.
But tell me, what woman in this world can accept recognition of a son from her husband's affair as her eldest legitimate son?
Enough! Chunyu is not a bastard.
He is my right and proper first legitimate son, my heir apparent!
What about Chunfeng?
What about me? I am your wife!
You knew that before you I was with Han Ning.
Yes, I know I was stupid.
Back in those days,
you were a high-spirited young general
and I was the proud daughter of a prestigious family.
I thought that us being together would lead to a blissful life.
So, I begged my parents,
begged the former king, to let me be married to you.
Who would have thought...
you'd already slept with another barbaric woman
and got her pregnant.
Even the whole nation was hoping that your child would end the war between the two nations!
But did anyone ask me? Ask about my marriage?
Did anyone care about me being your real wife?!
All of that is in the past.
- Also, you have gotten everything you want.. Moreover-- - Moreover, what?
Tell me!
How did Han Ning die? You must know something.
What do you mean by that? What are you implying?!
You think I killed her?
Everyone said it was the pro-war faction in the Ximin Tribe that sent assassins to kill her. But this matter
didn't get a clear conclusion until now.
I just found out... that for so many years...
not only did we not have any marital affections,
we didn't even trust each other, not even this tiny bit.
Ridiculous! This is so ridiculous!
I am warning you for the last time, don't ever try to hurt Chunyu again.
My whole life was a joke!
- Did anyone find out? - Don't worry, Your Highness, I was careful.
That's good. Now, I'm pretending to have amnesia and hiding here in the Xia Manor.
If anyone finds out, all my efforts will go to waste.
Your Highness, is there any progress?
I have been snooping around recently.
Xia Chunyu didn't carry anything with him. But that's not the most important thing now.
Now that I have lost my power. The Crown Prince really wants me dead.
I think Xia Chunyu's power is all we can rely on to rise up again.
But this Xia Chunyu is very distant with people.
If he knew you had a plan to regain your status, I fear that he'll start to suspect your illness.
It's okay. We'll have more opportunities to come.
By the way, I discovered someone that may be very important to us.
Go and investigate Madame Xia, Huang Wenzhen.
But she is only a woman.
Have you forgotten that poison scheme at the Feng Yun Inn?
To be honest,
if not for me wanting Xia Chunyu to rise higher in power by using that incident with Princess Liuli,
I would have never cared about an idle matter like this. But that Madame Xia
still managed to get Liuli to marry Xia Chunfeng.
All right, I understand.
- Figure everything out from the death of Xia Chunyu's birth mother up to the Seven Bridge Painting incident. - Yes.
Xia Zhongfeng has always taken a neutral stance. He doesn't curry favor or become enemies with anyone.
But recently, the Crown Prince has been persuading Royal Father
to marry off Liuli to Xia Chunfeng.
Thinking about this thing in retrospect,
there must be hidden meanings behind all of them.
As mandated by the Heavens, the Emperor makes the following decree.
Princess Liuli, with spiritual wealth like plentiful jade,
comparable to a fairy, having a compassionate heart that's wise and gentle, and the composure of a true and noble lady.
Son of nobility and high ranking official, the Second Son of the Marquis of Jing'an, Xia Chunfeng, has an illuminating demeanor,
dense talent, and character, may hereby undertake the ceremony of marriage
and wait without hesitation for the lady alighting from her bridal sedan.Today, I am granting the Princess marriage.
The husband has been royally approved.
♫ How many truths are hiding behind a few jokes ♫
♫ Hesitated many times to select a date to owe you ♫
♫ Indifferent to the nonstop gossips, has been through the changes of the flowing years ♫
♫ Can't hide the real affection and little words that I thought I've hidden well ♫
♫ Hiding in between the happy chats is an unspeakable farewell ♫
Although this is my second wedding,
I am still a bit nervous.
Ah...
"Groom Arrives."
Congratulations, Lord Heir! Wishing you great auspicious blessings! Now, give us our red envelopes!
There will surely be red envelopes! Come!
- Distribute this to everyone. - Thank you, Lord Heir!
- Boss Zhong. - Yes.
- Thanks for taking care of Yao Yao. You have worked hard. - It's what I should do.
- Thank you. Thank you. - Hey, Lord Heir, do not rush.
Chef Ye has told us, that in her hometown, there is a custom to stop the groom.
Shouldn't you follow her hometown custom, too?
Very well! Since I am her husband now, I should do whatever she desires.
Good!
I have three questions then.
First one, where did you meet Chef Ye?
It was a tea shop in a far away place.
- The answer is right! - Yeah!
The second question, what does Chef Ye usually call you?
This...
- Stupid donkey. - Don't exaggerate.
You Xia Stupid Donkey!
Stupid Donkey. Xia Stupid Donkey.
- If you can't remember this, how can you be with our Chef Ye for life? Am I right? - Right!
Say it! Say it!
Yao Yao usually calls me Stupid Donkey.
- Do you want to hear the groom sing for the bride? - Yes!
- This... - Sing! Sing! - Fine.
Then, I will sing a song that Yao Yao taught me.
♫ Use half my life to watch the snowflakes fall ♫
♫ Then use half of my life's love to count the falling flower petals ♫
♫ Heartfelt silk strings, embrace me day and night ♫
♫ Reunions are always passionate, spending an ordinarly life together ♫
♫ Carry the zither up the jade stairs, the sounds are not yet harmonized ♫
♫ Human messages are left in bits and pieces ♫
♫ Your heart is the moon and enters the gentleman's embrace ♫
♫ Bustling in the two extremes of the world ♫
- Good! Good! - Thank you! Thank you!
Head Chef Ye, are you satisfied?!
Yao Yao, stop torturing me!
We might miss our auspicious time!
Why is she not talking?
Hey! Hey! Lord Heir!
Yao Yao!
Everyone is waiting for you outside. Stop playing.
We might miss the auspicious time.
You really like to joke around.
You are not Yao Yao. Who are you?!
-
Qi Liang! Qi Liang!
Qi Liang!
Lord Heir!
What... Where is Chef Ye?
Yao Yao...
Yao Yao!
Lord Heir, what happened exactly? Wait for me!
Yao Yao!
Chef Ye! Madame!
- Chef Ye! Chef Ye! - Who's this?
Chef Ye!
Yao Yao! Yao Yao!
- Chef Ye! - Yao Yao!
Why are you here?
Stupid Donkey?
Are you all right? Are you hurt?
Hurt? Why would I be hurt?
Why are there so many people?
How much alcohol did you drink?
I didn't drink much. I only drank two glasses.
I was going out to find you, but how come I'm sleeping here, instead?
This wine has been tampered with.
It's fine. I was simply too anxious
to get through the wedding ceremony with my wife.
Come on.
What are you doing? Don't touch me. We are having a fake wedding.
Think about your Heavenly Dining Hall. Smile.
Hahaha...
Let's go!
Hahahaha.
How long are you still going to make us wait? If we continue to wait, we might miss the auspicious hour.
Older Brother hasn't returned yet with Sister-in-Law. May Princess and Miss Xiaoya wait a little more.
So if Chef Ye never comes, we can never go in?
Princess' Husband, have you forgotten the words you told the Princess Royal?
Of course, I haven't. I'm going to ask my mother.
Mother.
- What do you think...? - There is an order in seniority.
Chunyu's wife needs to come in first.
Can't you understand such simple rules?
- But... - There are no "buts."
It is true to respect seniority, but what about the differences in social hierarchy. The difference of a ruler and his subjects?
Our Princess has to wait for a cook.
If this word spreads, how will that make our Princess look?
You have no right to speak in this situation.
A servant girl that's part of the bride's dowry. Do you understand what social hierarchy means?
Someone come, slap her!
Wait! Mother, don't.
Older Brother is here!
Stop!
What are you doing?
May I ask if Chef Ye was too busy cooking for others that she was late to her own wedding?
Servant! Make Miss Xiaoya stand to the side.
Wait!
If you want to beat the dog, at least you need to see who owns the dog. I'm not married yet.
Older Brother, you want to be discourteous to me already?
Indeed. Princess has waited for more than an hour.
Isn't there a rule called, queuing up?
Liuli, why did you come out of the carriage? This is so inappropriate. Besides,
- Older Brother didn't mean it like that. - Then what did he mean?
Older Brother cares about Sister-in-Law and didn't want her to be mistreated,
while my husband only tells me to back away and swallow my pride?
Come on. It's only about who goes in first, right?
Is there any point in fighting about this?
- You go first. Chunyu let her go first. I don't care about the order. - Yao Yao.
Just get back to the carriage. Go.
It's me who was late after all. I'm apologizing.
Why are you apologizing? You are the first born son. In terms of status,
in terms of seniority, you are beneath no one.
So funny. Our Princess comes from a noble family.
If someone complains to the Emperor or the Princess Royal
that your House of Xia was intentionally rude to her. Do you dare take the blame?
Today, we will go in first no matter what!
Today, let me see
who can't bear the blame.
No matter if it's the princess or the chef,
anyone being married into my House of Xia is the daughter-in-law of our Xia Family.
As the hostess of Xia Manor, I will treat you all the same.
MIss Ye, you go back to your carriage first.
Today, the order of which carriage goes in, will not change.
Madam, you are such a nice person. I will follow you from now on. Heart to you.
What does that mean?
Stop pretending to be nice. You think I don't know that person was sent by you?
Chunyu, you are not my own blood but when it comes to things that matter,
I will not let anyone step over you.
So, you can stop being so suspicious.
That's right. That's right. Even if she is your stepmom, you can't treat her with such an attitude.
I told you to go back!
Okay, okay, I'm going back.
Liuli, can you go back to the carriage, too? There are so many people watching.
Princess...
Princess, the Princess Royal will arrive at any minute.
You are the moral standard in her eyes. If you insist on being stubborn about this,
when she comes and asks what happened,
I can only tell her the truth.
That's right, Liuli.
You are right. Today is a celebratory day.
Why make everyone unhappy?
It's just right that I have to wait an hour for Older Brother and Sister-in-Law.
Mother slapping my maidservant
is also just right. I shouldn't complain.
But the future days are long.
Xiaoya, stop crying.

Madame.
You still call me Madame? Shouldn't you change the address now?
Mother.
Toward this marriage,
are you that unhappy?
No.
It was my fault that I called Chunfeng to the hotel.
But you are smart. You went with the current and lured the Princess Royal into a trap.
Those are in the past. Now, isn't everything
- happening according to what you wished? - I'm glad you understand.
Today, you did great. Starting tomorrow, we'll stick to the plan.
Our goal this time is only Ye Jinxuan. Xia Chunyu will be safe, right?
What? You are married to my son. Is there anyone else in your mind?
That's right. I'm already married. What else do you want?
Do you think you are in a position to negotiate with me?
I didn't mean that.
Don't forget. I still have your identification papers.
If your aunt knew about those,
what's the outcome?
Your title, your glory, the filial image that you have worked to preserve for so long,
will vanish in an instant. You think it's worth doing it for a man who doesn't love you?
In the end, we are in the same boat.
I will not do you any wrong.
If you want to blame anything, blame our bad destinies.
You must strive for the things you want by yourself.
Hey! Where are you going?
You don't want me to touch you, so I will go sleep in the study.
Please! There are so many eyes watching us in this manor today.
Old rule. We can share a bed, but...
you can't make other plans.
Then, thanks a lot.
Since you already know the Marquis Manor is a place of trouble,
I need to remind you not to be so close with my second mother.
- Madame Xia? - Yes.
I know. Relationships with stepmoms are always bad.
But today, about the who entered the door matter, she handled it very fairly.
All that was show.
Three adult women under one roof always means drama. If there's to be a fight scene in the future, I need an ally.
Liuli is out of the question. But your stepmom might be useful.
Don't even think it.
If you aren't careful around her, you won't even know how you died.
Last time, when we were at the Elder Princess's banquet, she taught me how to fake a pregnancy by throwing up.
Not only that, she dressed me up as a palace maid and that's how I heard your love confession in front of the Princess Royal.
That was such an important detail. Why didn't you tell me earlier?
I am telling you now. Have you changed your mind?
- This is even more dangerous. - I'm not stupid. I know.
Stepmoms always want the best for their own child. She wanted us to be together so her son could marry Princess Liuli.
Now, she got everything she wanted.
Agreed.
Anyway, we are together again.
Do you want to be my wife for good?
No. A deal is a deal.
Rest assured.
Liuli, you are back.
Where have you been?
Just because we are married,
- it doesn't mean you have the right to pry into my business. - I...
I didn't think like that.
Are you hungry? I will tell the kitchen to make you something.
People always say an apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
The child of a mouse can create a hole. But you're not like her at all.
What are you talking about?
Nothing. I'm sleepy.
Why are you still standing here? You don't think we are going to consummate anything, right?
I... Of course, I don't dream of that.
I'm going to move the comforter there later. You'll sleep on the bed,
- while l will sleep over here. I will be very far away from you. - Wait!
Let's, drink this nuptial wine first.
Liuli...
Since we are married now, we are family.
- What happens in this room will be kept just between us, right? - Of course.
It's my great blessing that you were willing to marry me.
I will do whatever you say in the future.
What you don't want to do, I won't force you to do.
Good. You just keep your word.
- Quick! Quick! I'm going to be late! - Madame, slow down!
Madam.
In a house conflict scene, serving tea is the first test and I can't be late!
I came too early?
- Madame. - Sit for a while. - I better stand.
You stand all day. Sit and rest for a while.
Oh...
- Why are you here so early? - Mother-in-Law, you're here.
I came very early to offer you tea.
Mother-in-law, please drink.
Good child.
I thought you wouldn't be able to wake up. Didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable about the rules. Quickly get up.
Sit here.
You may all go now. I want to chat with my daughter-in-law.
Chunyu gave you a hard time last night, right?
