=The Sword and the Brocade=

=Episode 38=

It's such a shabby place.

Sister-in-law,

sorry you have to go through this.

But we had no other choice.

Don't know who found out

that it's our Wen family

who made the silk farmer died.

They sent a message

and asked us to figure out a way

to destroy Madam Xu's embroidery work.

Otherwise,

they'll report it to the prefecture.

Except for you,

no one else

could get the opportunity to do it.

I understand what you said.

As long as our Wen family is safe,

I'm okay with suffering a little.

Thank you for your understanding.

Yu is after all an illegitimate son.

And Madam Xu

shows no mercy to you.

You have no one to rely on

except for our Wen family.

As long as

you do what we say,

your brother and I

will definitely make it up to you.

But you were too

careless this time.

How could you let Madam Xu

catch you red-handed?

I've tried my best to be careful.

But I didn't expect

that Her Ladyship
had suspected me already.

She even thinks

that I'm an informant of the Ou family.

Yu is also implicated because of this.

You are Yu's biological mother.

They will allow you
to be back sooner or later.

But no one

should find out that

our Wen family is related to this thing.

If it's exposed

and our Wen family is destroyed,

Yu's future

will be bleaker.

I understand.

Shiyi.

Since people heard that His Majesty

praised your embroidery

of the Four Divinities,

our Xianling Pavilion

has received many orders

from both inside and outside
of the city.

You've studied and
practiced embroidery for years.

I'm so proud of you

for the acknowledgement you gained.

Teacher, it's all because

of your careful instructions

and the help from all the other girls.

His Majesty's recognition

isn't just

for me.

By the way,

has Mr. Ou visited you recently?

No.

I haven't seen him for quite a while.

Amber,

try to find out how

Mr. Ou is doing.

I'm worried

that he'll be blamed by Marquis Jingyuan

for the embroidery matter this time.

Yes, Your Ladyship.

Have some tea.

Master Jian, Master Luo.

Congratulations.

This is a piece of embroidery we made,

named "Loved By Your Students."

It's our congratulatory gift
for you two.

When we became homeless,

if you hadn't taken us in

and taught us embroidery skills,

we might have already starved to death,

and we couldn't have been able

to make a living at embroidery.

That's very thoughtful of you.

And you don't have to thank us.

Actually, it's my

original intention

to help you

through embroidery.

If you can carry forward

the embroidery skills

and help more women,

it'll be the best payoff

for Master Jian.

We promise we won't

let you two down.

Ou Yanxing made such a big mistake.

He should be removed from our clan

and kicked out of our house.

But father only flogged him a little.

Looks like father has decided

to make him his heir.

You really don't have

to be mad like this.

Father

may feel sorry

for his mother,

so he

favors and spoils

him a little more.

I can't find peace

until I get rid of him.

I've sacrificed so much

for father and our Ou family.

Why does

father still favor him more?

If you really want to get rid of him,

it's not something

that can't be done.

Your life will be in danger

if people see that you are here.

You really don't have to thank me.

Mr. Ou.

You are badly injured

because of us.

Please let me do something for you.

Otherwise,

we won't forgive ourselves.

Why did they hit you this hard?

It must be very painful.

Amber.

You know

that I've had someone in my heart.

Master Lixing.

I want to see Ou Yanxing.

Lixing.

What is he doing here?

Master Lixing.

Master Yanxing is taking a nap.

It's not convenient for him to see you.

Your wound hasn't healed yet.

Please go back and take a rest.

You are just a servant.
How dare you stop me?

Get out of my way.

The physician said

that he needs

good rest to recover.

Is he that seriously injured?

All the more reason for me
to check on him.

Young Master.

Young Master.

Lixing.

What brought you here?

You are injured.

I'm your big brother.

Of course I'll come and check on you.

Antai.

You forgot to put away the medicine.

Are you waiting for me to do that?

Sorry. Sorry.

It's my fault.

I'll put it away right now.

Yanxing.

You are too soft-hearted

and you always go easy on the servants.

Apparently you haven't finished
applying the medicine.

Lin Shan.

Yes.

Apply the medicine for Yanxing.

Master Yanxing.

Please.

Young Master.

Let me apply the medicine for you.

No wonder

you let Antai guard the door.

You are still in the mood for fun
while you are injured.

I'm really impressed.

Lixing, please keep it to yourself.

Don't worry.

I would feel embarrassed

to talk about such shameful thing.

Amber,

it's okay now.

Mr. Ou, you are injured.

Please sit down first.

I won't tell anybody

about what happened today.

I will ask Antai to see you off.

No one will see you.

And don't come here anymore.

I overreached myself

and I know you are way out of my league.

Sorry that I offended you.

I didn't mean that.

I know I'm lowborn

and I dare not have
any wishful thinking.

But I also know

that I understand you the most.

Because I'm just like you,

wishing the best

for the person I love

and asking for nothing in return.

My Lord.

Anything bothers you?

Marquis Jingyuan has put
Wang Jiubao's wife and son

under house arrest in Nanjing.

Wang Jiubao is
the most influential leader

of the remaining pirates.

The court is going to
offer them enlistment.

If we can find

his family,

I may be able to get a head start

and win his trust.

Offer enlistment?

If Wang Jiubao agrees to the enlistment,

we'll give him a chance to live,

which will reduce banditry,

ease up the war,
and benefit our country.

If Wang Jiubao

really agrees to the enlistment,

maybe he can testify

that Marquis Jingyuan colluded with him.

That's right.

So I want to go to Nanjing

and look for his family.

But, My Lord,
do you have to go in person?

I'm worried

that they'll try to harm you

if they know you are going.

No worries.

We've had a thorough plan

about how to rescue
Wang Jiubao's family.

And I've sent my people to Nanjing.

When the time's right,

we'll work together from
within and without.

As for Wang Jiubao,

If I save his family,

but he hurts me

or returns evil

for good,

he'll lose his prestige

even among the pirates.

I'm sure he won't do that.

Then please be careful, My Lord.

Marquis, you aren't here

this time just to return

my family, are you?

Mr. Wang, you can consider it

a small gesture from me.

I escorted your family back

because I was concerned
about their safety,

and I also wanted

to meet you in person.

You are going to offer me enlistment.

If I agree with it,

what's in it for me?

We can discuss about
your title and payment.

You can still lead your subordinates

and you don't have

to submit to Fujian Command Department.

You have your right
to make your own decisions.

So many benefits.

It sounds so enticing.

You are not satisfied?

I am.

How could I not be

when the benefits are this good?

But I don't believe you.

The people down there

used to be fishermen on the coast.

They became pirates
because they had no other choice.

Even so,

you court officials

still kidnapped my family

and forced me to surrender.

How can I trust

such a government?

I understand.

Hadn't been for the sea ban,

you wouldn't have lost your livelihood.

Hadn't been for
Marquis Jingyuan's iron hand,

you wouldn't have become pirates.

As long as you understand, Marquis.

I think you'd better figure out

how to help the people on the coast

to make a living.

Lift the sea ban.

What did you say?

The court is planning

on lifting the sea ban.

Once the sea ban is lifted,

the coastal people
can do business freely.

Even if I don't elaborate,

I'm sure you know

how much they'll be benefited.

How can I trust you?

Please wait and see.

Alright.

Then let's reopen the conversation

when the court lifts the sea ban.

Servant.

Yes.

See Marquis Yongping off.

Marquis, please.

My Lord.

What did Wang Jiubao say?

He's been threatened by Marquis Jingyuan

so he doesn't trust people easily.

So does that mean
we came here for nothing?

Not necessarily.

They are just waiting.

If the sea ban is really lifted,

I'm sure

that they'll agree to our terms.

After all,

they just

want to survive.

(Duke Mao's Mansion)

That thing is worthless.

Come here.

Let me go.

Let go of me.

Let go.

Be careful.

What?

You steal from home for outsiders.

Don't you know it's wrong?

I'm the heir of this mansion,

the future Duke Mao.

Everything in this mansion

belongs to me.

I've done nothing wrong
giving my birth mother

my own stuff.

Alright.

You ungrateful little brat.

You don't even admit your mistake.

Servants.

Yes.

Take him to the ancestral hall

and punish him
according to our family rules.

Young Madam.

Please don't.

Jinlian.

It's none of your business.

He steals at such a young age.

What will he become when he grows up?

Today

I'll teach you a lesson.

Young Madam.

Young Madam. Come here.

Young Madam.

Young Madam.

If you do that,

Lady Wang-Liu will get her way.

You punish him

right after Lady Wang-Liu left,

it'll push him

even closer to Lady Wang-Liu.

When he grows up

and becomes the Duke,

he'll

take you even less seriously.

So I'll just

let him steal from home?

Young Madam,

with all due respect,

he steals

because he wants
to help his birth mother.

It's understandable

that he cares about his birth mother.

Young Madam,

why don't you just be more generous

and let him

send some money to Lady Wang-Liu?

It'll also

do good to you in the long run.

(Duke Mao's Mansion)

Young Madam,

I bought some

seasonal fruits on the street.

Please have a taste.

They are sweet.

Can't believe

that Marquis Yongping's Mansion

also sells fruits.

What a surprise.

Young... Young Madam,

what are you talking about?

Just tell the truth.

When did you

become one of Luo Shiyi's people?

Young Madam, you get me wrong.

Don't make excuses.

No wonder you've

become so smart lately.

Not only did you cure my illness,

you also had a way
to deal with Lady Wang-Liu

and take care of my son.

Looks like Shiyi

has taught you a lot.

Now, tell me.

What's your purpose

of doing those things?

Young Madam.

I didn't hide it from you

on purpose.

Madam Xu wanted to offer you help,

but she's worried
that you wouldn't accept it,

so I've been keeping it a secret.

So Shiyi is really behind this.

She's such a busybody.

Young Madam,

Madam Xu doesn't mean any harm.

She said those mean words

because she saw that you were depressed

and she wanted you to
pull yourself together.

So she said those things

to encourage you.

And then she knew
that you were all by yourself

but you were too proud

to ask for any help,

so she taught me in secret

how to take care of you.

She'd help me?

Seeing me living in hell

must make her very happy.

Young Madam,

you really misunderstand Madam Xu.

In order to cure your illness,

she visited all the famous physicians
in the capital.

But she was worried that you wouldn't

accept the physician she introduced,

so she had the physician

make the pills specially for you

and asked me to bring it back
and let you take it.

She's also concerned
that you'd be bullied in the mansion,

so she taught me how to deal with it

and helped you go through
the difficulties.

If she's up to no good,

why would she bother

spending all the time helping you?

You made it sound like she's a saint.

She only wants to mock me.

Now

that she helped me,

who knows how she'll

make fun of me when she sees me.

Since you listen to her,

why don't you go to the Mansion of Xu?

I don't believe

that I can't survive

without you and Shiyi.

Young Madam.

It's not that you can't live without me.

I'm the one who can't live without you.

I've been

serving you since I was little.

Everything I have

is given by you.

I'll be nothing

if I leave you, Young Madam.

I don't have anything,

you are the only one

I can rely on, Young Madam.

I don't want to go anywhere else.

Alright. Alright.

Stop crying.

If you don't want to leave,

I can't force you to.

In the future,

don't hide things from me anymore.

I won't.

Thank you, Young Madam.

Let's pretend

nothing happened today.

From now on,

you can continue to do

whatever you think is right.

Yes.

Madam,

the flower you ordered has arrived.

Put it here.

Okay.

You can go back to work.

Although our plan failed eventually,

you protected yourself

and didn't arouse Xu Lingyi's suspicion.

You are quite smart.

Don't know

what you call me over for

this time.

I want you

to alienate Xu Lingyi and Luo Shiyi.

They love each other a lot.

I'm afraid it's not easy to be done.

Don't forget

that you came to me first.

If you can't even do this for me,

how can you take revenge
on the Xu family?

You'd better forget about it.

I'll never forget

the pain they caused me.

Official Ou, don't worry.

I will do my best

and I won't let you down.

There's a man whose last name is Lin

in Xianling Pavilion.

Do you know him?

Lin?

-My Lord.
-My Lord.

My Lord.

How did you get hurt?

It's him.

He's a painter,

as well as one of
the owners of Xianling Pavilion.

A painter?

When did the second Young Master

of the Ou family become a painter?

He's one of the Ou family?

Her Ladyship is doing business

with a member of the Ou family?

Not only is he one of the Ou family,

he's also quite close

to Madam Xu.

His Majesty orders Prince Yu

to treat all officials a banquet
on the Beginning of Autumn.

I will put you

and Madam Xu

on the invitation list.

And it's up to you

to make the best use of this thing.

My Lord, you are back.

Don't tell anybody yet.

(Virtue of Modesty and Patience)

My Lord, how was your trip?

I've freed Wang Jiubao's family

from Marquis Jingyuan.

Wang Jiubao is not a threat
to me anymore.

Though he hasn't
agreed with the enlistment,

I'm certain

that once the sea ban is lifted,

he will surrender to us.

This is not something
that we can rush through.

It's already

a good start.

General Fu.

I'm here to see His Lordship.

I'll go and report.

Okay.

My Lord,

General Fu is here.

My Lord.

Linbo.

I made some notes

during my Fujian trip.

And I want Fan Weigang to review them.

It's an important matter.

Please give them to him in person.

Yes.

Your Ladyship,
the belt you made for His Lordship

is so pretty.

The pattern is featured by clouds,

which look so lifelike.

His Lordship doesn't like

those fancy patterns,

so I embroidered clouds and rivers,

which are low-key

but quite elegant.

You know what I like

even better than I do.

If you like it,

you should get married.

Hope I can also have such luck.

My Lord,

if there's nothing else,

I'll leave now.

By the way, Dongqing,

I found some old stuff,

please help me sort it out later.

Yes, Your Ladyship.

General Fu, you are...

Come with me.

Why are you bringing me here?

Just follow me.

You'll know very soon.

Sit down.

Take it.

What's this?

I came across a famous physician

on my way back.

This is a special medicine he made.

It's said that if you apply it

on your wound,

there won't be any scar left.

Don't get me wrong.

I didn't look for it

on purpose.

I just met him

by chance.

Then, thank you for the medicine,
General Fu.

And thank you

for saving me last time.

You...

You won't

just verbally

thank me, will you?

I do think

that I'm a

lucky person.

What do you think?

How would I know?

I still have things to do.

I have to go.

Your Ladyship,
the belt you made for His Lordship

is so pretty.

The pattern is featured by clouds,

which look so lifelike.

He made quite a puzzle for me.

How can my skills compare

to Her Ladyship's?

Fortunately, I have this belt

as a reference.

Isn't that His Lordship's belt?

It's not.

You saw it wrong.

(If she knows it's His Lordship's belt,)

(I'll never hear the end of it.)

Amber,

you used to wear

this Buddha-bead bracelet

all the time.

You told me

it can help you find your sister.

Why do you stop

wearing it recently?

Buddha's mind should be kept pure.

But I had some improper thoughts.

I no longer deserve

wearing it.

But I will

never forget what

this bracelet represents.

What improper thoughts?

What no longer deserve?

What are you talking about?

I don't think I follow.

Dongqing.

Take a look at
this Buddha-bead bracelet.

It's made of a rare material,

and every bead is carefully carved.

Its value

is way beyond what a maid

can imagine.

Only those high-ranking people

deserve having it.

Do you understand?

But Her Ladyship told me

that there's no such thing

as noble or low status.

Although I'm a maid,

I'm only

doing my job

and paid for what I do.

It doesn't mean

that I'm inferior to the others.

No matter how valuable this bracelet is,

since it belongs to you,

it must do for a reason.

I really don't get it.

The others haven't

said anything,

yet you already
started belittling yourself.

Dongqing,

Her Ladyship is kind,

but it doesn't mean
the others are the same.

If you don't get a clear

understanding of who you are

and stop thinking

about the things
that don't belong to you,

you'll get hurt.

What am I thinking about?

Stop talking nonsense.

You are

so spoiled by Her Ladyship.

It's already late.

Why are you still up, Amber?

I can't sleep.

Tomorrow

is my sister's birthday.

Her Ladyship has sent people

to find out your sister's whereabouts.

There's just no

reliable information yet.

I know Her Ladyship is doing her best.

I just feel sorry

that the fate has separated
my sister and me.

I don't expect to get together

with her anymore.

I just hope

that she's still

safe and alive in this world.

The pomegranate trees are fruiting.

The flowers are beautiful, too.

Who lost her handkerchief here?

So strange.

It's not

an intact lotus embroidery,

but only half.

Why did you put it

together with the pouch?

Of course it'd fall out

when you reach the pouch.

It's a big mansion.

How are we supposed to find it?

I found it.

It's just an embroidery handkerchief.

My sister gave it to me.

Then you should keep it well
in the future.

Let's go.

I'm so thirsty after the long walk.

Go ahead and brew some tea.

Yes.

What...

What do you mean?

Shiliu, you know

that I have a younger sister.

I separated with my sister
when we were little.

And this handkerchief

is the only object
that can bring us back together.

In this house,

you are the one

who I trust the most.

In the future,

if you meet a girl

who has the other

half of the handkerchief,

please do me a favor
and treat her nicely.

Biyu.

What's going on?

Do you a favor?

Why don't you keep it and give it

to her yourself in the future?

Biyu.

Biyu.

Your spirit is still with us.

You even sent me

such a big gift

at this

critical moment.

Don't worry.

I will find justice

for you

and for myself.

You've all got to be careful.

These are for the memorial ceremony

for the late Marquis

and Master Ling'an.

Yes.

Madam, Concubine Qin is here.

Second Madam.

Shiliu, what brought

you here?

The orchids

are blooming these days.

I know you like them,

so I brought some for you.

Thank you.

You are very thoughtful.

Please sit down.

You are painting?

Looks like I picked
a good timing to be here.

May I have the honor

to have one of your paintings?

My paintings

are not that good.

In a few days,

it'll be the anniversary of Ling'an

and the late Marquis's death.

When Ling'an went into battles,

he always sent me bamboo paintings

to let me know that he was safe.

Therefore, on every anniversary
of his death,

I'd paint bamboo

in memory of him

and to appease his spirit in heaven.

Unfortunately, I'm not good at painting.

Though I've practiced for years,

I still haven't mastered the key skills,

which really bothers me.

Master Ling'an was well-versed
in art and martial arts.

He was indeed a hero.

It's such a pity

that he died young.

As a man, it's not a pity

for him to die on the battlefield.

What's unfair

is that Ling'an and the late Marquis

were dead because the Ou family

set them up.

If the Ou family had sent out the troops

and offered reinforcement,

they wouldn't have been
trapped in the city

and died with hatred.

Sorry I said the wrong words.

Please forgive me.

I just remembered

there's a painter in Xianling Pavilion
whose last name is Lin.

He's an excellent artist

and especially good at painting bamboo.

If you don't mind

having someone else paint it for you,

you can pay him a visit.

In that case, I can

ask Shiyi

to help me talk to him.

On my way over here,

I saw Her Ladyship leading the servants

to prepare for the memorial ceremony.

They are very busy.

I'm afraid Her Ladyship

won't be available for days.

Madam,

why don't we go by ourselves?

It could be fun taking a walk outside.

Alright.

Then let's do it.

Here you go.

(Account Book)

Mr. Ou, I've

checked your account book.

Today is the 10th.

I knew you'd come.

So I've had it prepared.

Now that the account book is checked,

I'll no longer have connection
with Xianling Pavilion.

Mr. Ou, I'll be upset

if you put it this way.

You don't even

see me as your friend anymore?

Master Jian, I admire your determination

of passing on the embroidery skills.

No matter what,

you are always

my good friend.

And I'm really grateful

for everything you've done

for Xianling Pavilion, for me

and for Shiyi.

Master Jian,

you have a visitor.

Master Jian, please go ahead.

We can talk later.

Okay.

I'll be back soon.

Madam,

is there anything I can help?

I heard

that there's a Master Lin in this store
who's very good at painting.

The bamboo he paints
looks strong and delicate.

It's filled with upright
and unyielding spirit.

So I'm here today,
hoping he can paint one for me.

Would you please introduce him to me?

I won't call myself a Master.

I only paint

the bamboo for fun.

Madam, you are flattering me.

So you are Master Lin.

Sorry I didn't know.

Alright.

Madam, please give me a moment.

It's so pretty.

Very nice brush stroke techniques.

And the painting looks
full of power and elegance.

You are an excellent artist indeed.

I'm so impressed.

I'm flattered.

I'm wondering how much
I owe you for this painting.

Though I paint,

I don't do it for a living.

Since you like

my work,

I can give it to you for free.

I just hope that you can support

Xianling Pavilion's business
in the future.

Of course.

I still have things to do.

Sorry I can't stay here for long.

See you.

Thank you very much.

fate is untold♪

♪I ground my thoughts into ink♪

♪But I still can't sketch your contours♪

♪How could the ink
and paper exhaust our stories♪

♪Who picked up the pen
to disturb the heart♪

♪Who visited to remind me of the past♪

♪If feelings can be kept in mind,
but cannot be confessed♪

♪I won't escape from whatever end♪

♪In the dim lantern light,
with you there is me♪

♪Who picked up the pen
to set free lonely tears♪

♪Whoever visited my life,
only you stayed all the days♪

♪If the moth doesn't fly into the fire♪

♪How can it be said to be persistent♪

♪Coming to the end of your story,
there is me♪
