Hangzhou has just sent a message
saying everything has been well arranged.
There is only one final step left.
There's eventually a good thing.
Childe.
Dad.
Yesterday when I tried to avoid thieves,
I spent a night staying with Si Ma Zhang An in that room.
You saw that when you were there, right?
I don't want to have any gossips about me.
I hope you can find ways to help me.
Don't worry about the gossips out there.
I will definitely find ways to prevent those gossips.
Stand up first.
Dad, I have one more thing to wish.
I... I've had a person in my heart.
That is my big brother.
I want to get married to him.
I hope you can lend me a hand.
Your brother is surely one in a thousand.
If we can get closer to him, I will certainly agree.
But I'm afraid such a outstanding person
doesn't fall for you.
It doesn't matter.
I will finally come up with a way to make him fall in love with me.
I just want you to know about my heart's choice.
This medicine is newly made. Please try it out.
I won't take it.
Since great master Yuan Ming passed away,
these medicines get more and more tasteless.
I don't even feel warm when I take them.
I can't see any obvious effects either.
I asked you to look for the alchemist.
How is it going?
Your Majesty.
Recently there is a master traveling a lot
living right in Jing Lu, San Yang, outside the imperial.
I heard that person is knowledgeable about astronomy, geography
and magical tricks.
There's nothing that he doesn't know.
He's even better at worshiping, praying and consulting.
They say he even has the elixir of immortality.
It's said that everything he says is totally correct.
Some people even want to spend a huge amount of money
to invite him home to get consultation
but they were all turned down.
Moreover, he has set up rules.
Whoever wanting to meet him must go to Jing Lu on their own
and queue up to get the number and they'll get religious guidance.
How dares he be so unruly?
He is really unruly.
Your Majesty, how about...
asking people to take him here?
You don't have to.
That person really has a stubborn temperament.
Alright. It's been long since the last time I left the palace.
Is it okay? Let's go out for fun.
The next one.
What are you doing?
How dare you?
Our sir wants to meet the master.
Queue up over there.
So many people, when will we meet him?
I don't know. Queue up, please.
My sir has a very special identity,
so I think it's not necessary for him to queue up.
No matter who he is, he has to queue up.
Go to queue up.
The next one.
Sir, please talk with me for a while.
Come one, go there.
What's the matter?
Sir.
I have the ticket that can allow you to see the master immediately.
Do you want to get it?
Of course, yes.
But you need to pay 20 taels of silver.
It needs money?
If you don't want, it's okay.
There are a lot of people waiting for it, anyway.
I'll buy it.
The next one.
Coming.
Master.
Number card.
Two of you jumped in the line, right?
Master,
how can you figure it out?
This number card should be given out from 3 to 5 am.
If you had started to wait since then,
your clothes must be soaked in frost.
But it turns out
your clothes are extremely clean and tidy, without any dust.
Doesn't it mean you jumped in the line?
To be more precise, we paid
20 taels of silver to go in here.
If it is the case, please go out.
I only answer questions and doubts from for honest people.
You really don't know what you're supposed to do.
I think you and the crowd queuing outside
are on the same side,
joining hands to deceive people for money.
So I'll give you back 20 taels of silver.
And you have to leave Jing Lu right away.
Don't waste others' time.
You...
You mustn't be rude.
Master.
It's right that we took the shortcut.
But you don't have the rule
saying we have to get the number card ourselves.
We didn't want to waste time
so of course we have to find ways to meet you, master.
Your words
sound strange but seem reasonable.
What do you want to ask?
This is our sir's birthday.
Ding Mao, Ji You,
Xin Si, Ji Hai.
Is there any problems?
Your birthday shows that
you must have been born into a noble family,
supported by the stars in the sky,
ruling thousands of people, enjoying peace and rest.
I'm afraid
you are saying things without considering.
Since I was little, I have lived in the marketplace,
how could I rule thousands of people?
Even if you live in the marketplace,
you are a distinguishing person in the crowd.
You'll have a life of affluence and admiration from others,
very rich and thriving.
You are a fortuneteller,
you have to base on your true capacity.
Therefore,
you can tell people what mistakes they have done,
encourage them to do good deeds and build good fortune for themselves.
If you want to deceive people for money
and tell them nonsense guesses,
how could you make others trust you?
Actual things aren't pleasant to hear but good things aren't impossible to be believed in.
Good people don't argue. Those who argue aren't good people.
The people who know are not knowledgeable. Those knowledgeable don't know nothing.
The god's religion is for good, not harm.
The Emperor's favor, why not go for it?
Outside your room,
it is really crowded.
It's impossible for others to be skeptical about your ability
and whether or not you're longing for fame and money.
Knowing how to be satisfied and how to stop to avoid failures can last long.
I train to improve my morality
without desire to get fame and money.
So,
how can you persuade me to trust you?
If you don't trust me,
I will bet with you, how do you think about it?
What do you want to bet on?
I've recently observed astronomical situations at night,
I can see the South East is very dull.
That's the sign of a strange situation coming.
In ten days,
there will be conflicts in the South East, for sure.
Even though it won't be so bad that can affect the court,
it will be a potential danger.
How dare you?
Discussing national things like this, aren't you scared of being beheaded?
Yes, sir.
Whether I'm talking nonsense or not,
just wait until it happens
then you will know.
So master, let's take the time of half a month.
If there's nothing happening...
I will pay back all of the money and leave.
I won't put a single step into the Imperial city.
Master.
If what you said is correct,
this piece of Jade pendant
will be yours.
Your... Your Majesty?
I must have been blind so I didn't know you came.
Please forgive me, Your Majesty.
Stand up.
I don't dare.
Stand up.
Previously, you did the right fortunetelling for me,
you don't have to be that rigid now.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
I'll wait for you in half a month.
Come on. Come on.
- Sir, madam, they... - Bring them in.
Hurry up. Hurry up.
Sir Chunyu, madam, wish you all the best.
Today, I, matchmaker Wang come here,
which means there's a good news.
You all know childe Si Ma, right?
He says since he met your lady
in the Brooch festival the other day,
he has suffered from the love sick.
So today he asked me to come here.
Come on. Bring them in.
Those are just greeting presents.
If you agree, the wedding presents
will be a lot. I I don't want to marry him.
However rich he is, I will never get married to him.
But the story of lady Chunyu and childe Si Ma
has been known to the whole Hangzhou.
If childe Si Ma doesn't marry lady Chunyu I'm afraid...
What are you saying?
Qi Er.
If my sister wants to get married,
she needs to scare that someone won't agree?
Second brother. Here you are.
Go back and tell Si Ma Chang An,
he just has some stinky pennies,
and his background doesn't deserve my sister.
Second master, Miss Zhai has come.
Second master Dong.
You held people under duress and took their assets.
Was it a little too much?
I had no other choices.
Because the great master lost constantly,
he's now in need of money.
The rich in this Hangzhou really have big fortunes.
I did it just for our own sake,
so I came up with that bad idea.
How good your plan was.
As soon as the official soldiers came, you'd got the ransoms.
However,
from now on, before you take actions,
should you discuss with us first?
Because of that, our childe hasn't been very happy.
Miss Zhai.
Don't put on airs in front of me.
Except for the great master, I won't obey anyone else.
Hangzhou isn't a small town by the border,
you dare be aggressive like that,
and not to follow the childe's arrangement.
If any problems really arise,
don't expect the childe to protect you guys.
How could any mistake arise?
Money and people are all here.
People?
Who?
Even though they are not the people that great master wants,
one of them
is the one I want to get for so long,
I have to tear her into pieces.
Moreover, you know that person very well.
You used to be her good sister.
Miss Zhai.
You don't want to talk about the past with her?
Alright.
During the journey, they made me suffer a lot.
So I have my underlings hit them for fun for a while.
Unfortunately, they got exhausted so quickly.
Unbelievably,
you have such a bad day.
Did you come to laugh at me?
I really don't know.
Village master Dong, you even join hands with your enemy.
What do you mean by "enemy"?
Aren't you my biggest enemy?
Up to now, you haven't known
the one who destroyed your village was actually?
Tell me more about it.
Dong Qi Sheng.
Miss Zhai.
This one is related to the survival
of more than 100 people of our Dong family.
Don't find it strange, Miss.
Tell me.
The one who destroyed your village wasn't me.
In fact, it was... It was me.
What did you say?
The person who took 100 lives of Dong family away was me.
It had nothing to do with her.
Say it again.
What's the matter?
Second master Dong, don't you want to take revenge for them?
Miss Zhai.
I want to ask you
why were you so cruel with our Dong family?
It was for no reason.
Just because our childe didn't like it.
If it was the childe's decision,
I will let it go.
The one who knows the current situation is a hero.
It's unbelievable second master Dong
is a person who takes a realistic view of the situations.
I have been committed to great master Mao,
so I won't provoke the childe just for this old thing
and make great master Mao unhappy.
It's good that second master Dong can think like that.
If she's not your enemy,
it's pointless too keep these two in.
How coincidental.
The childe asked me to investigate Yuan Jin Xia's incident.
How about you taking advantage of it
and letting me take those two with me?
No way.
Why not?
If it's the childe's order, I can't refuse to let them go.
But among these two
you can only take one out.
I want her.
No wonders about your deep-seated sisterhood.
I won't go.
Take Yang Yue with you.
Do you know what you're saying?
If you take me with you,
you are just bringing an empty body.
Alright.
Xiao Xi.
Anyway, we used to be sisters.
I can only do that much.
Don't blame me.
Take Yang Yue out.
Help yourself.
Hello.
Here you are?
Sir.
Have a seat.
What did you ask me to come here for?
I just feel hungry, so I ask you to have dinner with me.
Okay.
Waiter.
I want to order.
I'm coming.
Two dear guests, what would you like to eat?
Lady.
Whatever.
Lady, we don't have such dishes as "whatever".
Maybe Yang Yue and Shang Guan Xi are still alive.
You've got the news?
Order some dishes first.
After finishing this meal, I'll tell you about it.
Alright. I'll order some dishes.
Having news means a good piece of news.
Do you want to order "whatever" anymore?
"Whatever"? Why is "whatever"?
I haven't had a decent meal for days.
Waiter.
Bring me the most expensive, delicious
and well-known signature dishes of your restaurant.
Alright.
It won't take long.
Sir, what is the news?
I asked Cen Fu to examine the area around the Sight-seeing House.
And he's found some traces,
including footsteps of two people and traces of conflicts.
Based on the sizes and shades of those footsteps,
they can be those three people.
Traces of conflicts?
It means there is at least one person injured.
That's right.
Sir.
We can follow those traces to look for them.
I asked Xie Xiao to do it.
He will take Wu An Gang there to examine.
Those Japanese pirates, who usually kill, burn and loot,
are living in a small town by the sea,
normally don't cause many big problems.
But this time, they caused annoyances in the center of Hangzhou.
How dare them.
The Japanese pirates are so aggressive.
Do you think Yan family supports them?
With Yan Shi Fan's personalities, if something is useless,
he never does it.
You know what?
What?
The childe of Chunyu family, who has come back to Hangzhou,
killed one person at Piaoxiang Pavilion,
just for competing for a prostitute.
You mean Chunyu family's childe
who is a merchant raising horses?
Are there any more Chunyu family's childes?
Who was the dead person?
The great butler of our area's biggest salt retailer,
who works for Si Ma family.
Let it go. Don't talk about it any more.
What do we have for dinner today?
Whatever.
Such a useless idiot.
If you know you are my only son,
you have to keep yourself innocent.
Now you killed one person, you will kill yourself.
Dad, don't hit me. It's my mistake.
Dad, don't hit me.
Tell me.
Who did you kill?
Where is Miss Tu Mei?
Miss Tu Mei has been unwell for days,
so she can't welcome guests.
Ladies, come to greet our guests.
Yes.
Childe.
Come on.
I'll be definitely gallant to you.
This voice seems to be...
Isn't it Miss Tu Mei's voice?
That's right.
Childe Chunyu.
Did you say you felt so unwell that you couldn't serve guests?
Who are you?
Don't you see I'm having fun now?
Go away.
You robbed my girl,
why could you dare to be aggressive to me?
Who are you?
Childe Chunyu.
I'll kill you at any costs.
Childe Chunyu.
He's dead.
The butler of Si Ma Chang An.
Si Ma Chang An?
It's Si Ma Chang An
that came to us to propose to your sister?
Right. That's him.
If that's the case, we can be reconciled...
Right. Dad. Think about that,
if I have got the criminal record, my career is done.
However, if Si Ma agreed not to blame me I can be saved.
Dad.
Dad, do you want to...
Min Er.
You also know Chunyu family
has this only son to continue our family line.
Big brother.
What's the matter?
Min Er, stand up.
Big brother. I - Stand up. I - I...
Because of my brother,
my dad wants me to marry that weird man Si Ma Chang An.
I can't marry him.
Big brother, please help me.
This one.
I can't do anything, either.
No.
Only when you agree to marry me,
and tell Si Ma Chang An that I have had engagement with you,
he will definitely not do anything to go against Lu family.
What about your brother?
My brother...
It's good that he can save his life.
Ending his mandarin career
is still better than sacrificing my life happiness.
But I don't love you,
I can't give you any promise, either.
You don't want to marry the person you don't love,
neither do I.
I don't want to marry a wife that I don't love.
You love Yuan Jin Xia, right?
A man with several wives is just normal.
I'm willing to be your concubine.
Having many wives is not good.
My wife, it's enough to have just one.
Why can you be so heartless?
I am your cousin.
How can you treat me like that?
I'm a Imperial Guard.
You must understand that
the Imperial Guards are the most cold-blooded.
Alright.
You are so cold-blooded.
You will regret this.
Sir.
You really don't want to save Miss Chunyu?
It's not the matter of whether to save her or not,
but how to save her.
Si Ma Chang An could become a salt merchant
so we can't look down on his capacity.
Although the butler is just a slave,
anyone killing others pays off with his own life.
If they want to look into this carefully,
I'm afraid
it's not simply ending the mandarin career
of Chunyu family's only son.
I'll ask you.
If Chunyu family weren't royal merchants, what would it be?
If they weren't royal merchants,
they may not be able to operate horse field.
Chunyu family could become royal merchants
is due to the relationship with Lu family.
You think Lu family can protect them for life?
Although Chunyu Qi is still young,
he has to carry too big expectations.
If he can't become a mandarin,
I'm afraid they won't remain royal merchants anymore.
Chunyu Min doesn't have her mother's family as a support,
she wouldn't end up well either.
I've ask Cen Fu to go to Yamen
to see if we can do anything to save the situation.
If you wanted to die, you'd better tell me earlier on.
I wouldn't have wasted effort saving you.
Why are you here?
Where is it?
Where is Miss Shang Guan?
She's still in Dong Qi Sheng's place.
What?
I... I have to help her out.
Considering your current condition, you'll die if you go.
I can't consider that much.
If there's any problems with her,
I'll make you to pay off with your own lives.
If you want to speak eloquently,
you'd better have that capacity first.
Trust me.
She won't die that easily.
If you come back there like that,
you aren't worth her sacrifice.
You... What do you mean?
Dong Qi Sheng respects me
so he allowed me to take one of you two out.
I intended to save her,
but she gave this only chance for you.
Dong Qi Sheng is so cruel,
Miss Shang Guan under his control
will have to suffer a lot.
I can't let her face it alone.
Even if I may die,
I still want to die with her.
Yuan Yang.
Sir.
Go and tell Min Er,
that the marriage will be held in three days.
She has to get married.
Did my dad really say so?
Lady.
Shall we continue begging madam?
Madam loves you that much, so she can't see you
jumping into a fire hole without doing anything.
My mom really loves me, but she loves my brother even more.
I need to run away from the wedding.
You guys Imperial Guards can't do anything, either?
The Imperial Guards aren't almighty.
Si Ma Chang An insists that
that person was killed by childe Chunyu.
They have got adequate witnesses and evidence.
The case document has been sent to the Imperial Court of Justice by the paiace,
I'm afraid it can't be done in public.
How about Piaoxiang Pavilion?
Sir.
Miss Tu Mei who Chunyu Qi competed for with the other
has been bought and left Piaoxiang Pavilion.
Who bought her?
People at Piaoxiang Pavilion were too reserved
to reveal anything.
It seems that childe Chunyu was pushed into a trap.
There's a knife above the character for lust.
I'm afraid up to now Chunyu Qi hasn't known
how he has become a murder.
Sir.
Miss Min will get married in three days.
Is it that quick?
Palm or back of the hand, it's all their own flesh and blood.
Will sir Chunyu really sacrifice his daughter
to save his son?
Xiao Xi.
We used to be sisters.
I can only do that much.
Don't blame me.
Why did you come back?
Where is Ian Ye?
We don't have that much time for explanation. Hurry up.
Little beauty, it's time to eat...
Where is she?
How are you? Hold on a little bit.
Why there's another cliff?
It doesn't matter.
We will risk our life as a last choice.
There's no more road for you to run away
but you even flirt each other.
Don't you feel ashamed?
Dong Qi Sheng.
You already knew the fact that.
Dong family's over-water village's destruction
had nothing to do with Wu An Gang.
Miss Shang Guan isn't your enemy.
Why you keep holding on her?
Why I keep holding on her?
Don't you know it?
You've ruined my good stuffs several times,
and now you're that shameless to ask me?
You...
It's unbelievable that village master Dong gets supports from the Japanese pirates.
You only have those dirty thoughts on your mind.
The saying: "It's difficult to change"
"the spots of a leopard" is always true.
I still remember bailiff Yang used to calm his anger
and crawl on the ground like dog to beg me.
I now have to see you with a different eye.
Yang Yue.
Today, should we change a bit?
What do you want to do?
Now you will be the person
who kneels down to beg me.
Don't do it.
In your dreams.
Stop.
What do you want to do?
Beg me.
I'll see whether you can beg me well
then I'll consider
letting him go.
Miss Shang Guan, don't care about him.
It's just the death.
I, Yang Yue, won't be scared.
Such an understanding guy.
He said he wasn't scared.
It's enough.
I beg you.
Please let him go.
Kneel down.
Okay.
Miss Shang Guan.
Yang Yue.
Now second master is dead.
What should we do?
Kill her, take revenge for second master.
Alright.
I'm sorry.
I came late.
Where are you going?
I want to find him.
Whether he's still alive or dead, I have to see him.
Yang Yue.
That's the Japanese pirate.
He's dead.
Falling from such height, he's not likely to be alive.
His death doesn't means Yang Yue's dead, too.
If he's here, Yang Yue must be nearby.
Yang Yue.
Yang Yue, where are you?
Yang Yue.
Don't find anymore.
Your health can't stand it.
Don't worry about me.
Don't find anymore. Are you listening to me?
He can't be alive. He died.
I say he's not dead then he's not dead.
Don't you see there are just Japanese pirates' bodies?
Maybe his body is stolen by wild animals?
You want to die with him?
No way.
Don't worry about me.
I know.
You have a huge hatred for me, right?
If I hadn't destroyed Dong family's over-water village,
Dong Qi Sheng wouldn't have detested you.
If it hadn't been for me,
Yang Yue wouldn't have come back here.
He wouldn't have died with Dong Qi Sheng to help you out.
It's enough.
I don't want to listen anymore.
Yang Yue.
Thief, where are you from?
Let me go, let me go.
Why do you have to be that stealthy?
Let me go.
What happened? I - Sir.
I've caught a thief.
I told you to let me go.
Miss Min.
What are you going to do?
The day after tomorrow is your wedding.
You want to leave your brother and go?
You've always thought about my brother
and pushed me into difficulties.
I'm doing this because you forced me to.
You...
Dad.
My wounds have just healed.
If you don't want your daughter
to go to Si Ma's house with a swelling face in the wedding,
I think you'd better not hit me anymore.
Yuan Yang.
Take the lady back her room.
Yes, sir.
Send some people to guard by the door.
Before the wedding, you'd better stay in your room.
Don't go anywhere.
I didn't know it was you.
Yuan Jin Xia.
I hate you to death.
What are you looking at?
Pack up.
Yes, sir.
Go away.
Sir.
Is there any news about Da Yang and sister Shang Guan?
No, there isn't.
I have recently had bad feelings.
Besides Da Yang's stuffs, there's also Chunyu Min's.
You think whether or not I indirectly did harm to her?
Don't think nonsense like that.
Destiny between people is so complicated.
Isn't it a bad destiny between us?
Big brother.
You came to help me, right?
I ask you.
Whatever happens,
you won't get married to him, will you?
I know that.
Big brother looks cold-blooded but actually has a warm heart.
I know you won't give up on me.
I have a way
that can protect you and your brother at the same time.
Really?
But this wedding must take place.
On the wedding day,
you have to be sent to your husband's house.
After getting in Si Ma's house,
take this medicine.
After half an hour, you will die for no reason.
Don't worry.
It's just pretending.
It just makes you have a fake death.
I need to get the shortcoming of Si Ma Chang An.
Just get married to him
and die at his house.
No matter what you die of,
Si Ma Chang An can't get rid of the responsibility.
Finally, he can only forgive Chunyu Qi as a last choice.
So according to what you said,
isn't it
for the rest of my life, I can't be Chunyu Min anymore?
This is your only one way now.
At that time, I will give you a new identity.
Of course, I won't smear you.
If you don't follow my plan,
even if you successfully run away from the wedding,
Chunyu Qi's future career will still be ruined.
Chunyu family's royal trades can't be kept any longer.
With my understanding about your father,
he won't let you live comfortably.
If it really happens,
you won't have other choice.
Think about it carefully.
Bailiff Yang.
Prior Shang Guan.
Search around carefully.
Yes, sir.
Prior Shang Guan.
Sister. I - Bailiff Yang.
There's nothing hung over there.
It's alright.
Put it up.
Let's go.
The first comb till the top of the hair,
living happily together.
The second comb
fulfilling all the wishes.
The third comb for couple gathering
being a gentle and elegant woman.
The forth comb of love,
protecting conjugal love forever.
Min Er.
Today is the day you getting married.
I hope you will be happy in your wedding.
Don't blame me.
Mom.
I don't blame you.
I know you and dad just do it because of my brother.
Don't worry.
After I get married,
my brother can come back.
It's good that you can understand.
He being a jinx to his wife is just a gossip.
Even though Si Ma Chang An is ugly,
he has a powerful family background.
Married to him, you won't have to suffer any grievance.
It doesn't matter.
No matter whether he is good-looking or ugly,
rich or poor,
I don't care.
But
a girl getting married is like a bowl of water poured away.
From now on, I
can't fulfill my filial piety anymore.
My nice daughter.
I just hope you and your brother will have a good life.
Don't worry about your father and I.
Alright, mom.
Just go and make some arrangements.
I've got Yuan Yang with me here.
If you have any problems, don't hesitate to call me.
Have you got
what I asked you to prepare?
