Weaving a Tale of Love

Episode 39

The mother-in-law told her daugther-in-law to pay attention to Pei Shou Yue's marriage intentions,

she shall not neglect him.

If any problem arises, she has to report it to her mother-in-law.

That Lu Qiniang died long time ago.

Ever since then, Pei Shou Yue has been all alone.

Could it be that he wants to get married again?

Pei Shou Yue has just brought a young lady from the palace, today.

He has already taken her to the mansion of General Su,

to greet the general and his wife.

I have heard that His Majesty has already approved their marriage.

This Pei Shou Yue wants to get married out of a sudden!

He kept it a secret earlier,

but as soon as she is out of the palace, she is taken to General Su's manor.

He probably wants to protect that girl.

Pei Shouyue is doing this, probably because of Lu Qiniang years ago.

For this he is really regretful.

I think this is to protect in case.

Does this mean that Grand Princess Linhai has been spending Shouyue's estate?

So...she doesn't want Lord to marry and have kids.

Once he marries, then he will have to fulfill his promise.

To return this great family assets to its rightful owner?

Exactly, it is this saying.

This Grand Princess Linhai's mind is deep.

When she knew that Lord wanted to marry Lu Qiniang,

she accepted Qiniang as a foster daughter.

We thought she did this out of kindness, and did not take any precautions.

Who thought that in appearance she gave some assets to Qiniang to manage,

in the dark, she asked some servants

to make the assets empty.

Making Qiniang have bitterness but can't say it.

Qiniang is a honest kid and has a deep mind.

To these bad things, she didn't mention anything to her family in the day.

She also has kept it from Lord.

Qiniang has to continue the family on one hand,

the other hand she has to be near those rich families.

The selfish, greedy family members.

After not so long, she died from depression.

Lord has suffered so much. Who thought

this Grand Princess Linhai purposely carved

a "to kill" father, "to kill" mother, "to kill " brother, "to kill" sister, "to kill" spouse, "to kill" word.

This saying of killing people around her.

Making her have a bad reputation everywhere, making no one dares to marry.

From then on, she lived a lonely life.

Even if Lord Pei is extra careful this time,

he has also found someone like General Su to depend on.

He thought he could make it flawless.

But...he doesn't know how superb you are.

Then, wasn't that Lu Qiniang also obeying with you in every way,

she was a toy in your hands.

This time, this girl

is also for sure not your opponent.

You have to watch carefully.

Since he wants to marry, he will for sure report to me, his elder.

Then, look carefully.

Yes.

Now you know why we want you to live at the General's Manor.

That Grand Princess Linhai is arrogant and overbearing.

Although your uncle is wealthy, but he is still a common person.

If she uses a few tricks,

I am afraid...

I understand. Thank you General Su and Madam Yu

for helping me think so precise.

Timing and Subtitles brought to you by 🧵Team 7️⃣ Needles & Threads🧵 @ Viki.com

Not only do I want you to live here,

I also want everyone to know

that I want to accept you as my foster daughter.

If I do not accept you as a foster daughter now,

I am afraid this Grand Princess Linhai

will treat you like Qiniang.

Striking at Liuli.

Even more, I like you truthfully.

From my heart, I want to accept you as foster daughter.

I, Liuli, bow to foster mother.

Good, good! Hurry up and stand up.

I have lost my mother since I was young.

From today on wards, I finally have mother's love again.

Good child, here.

Great.

[Due of Hedong's Manor]

Why have you come Lord Pei?

I have come to see Grand Princess Linhai.

Will Madam Heir-Apparent please convey the message?

Grand Princess has the habit of taking an afternoon nap.

She does it no matter what the weather is. Why have you forgotten? Even thunder can wake her. Have you forgotten?

Oh.

I came in a rush to report,

yet I forgot about this, I really am careless.

But I am in a rush to go in the palace.

I'm afraid that I have to ask Madam to covey the message.

I wonder what it is, that has made you careless?

I am fulfilling my mentor's orders and marrying my mentor's wife's foster daughter.

Grand Princess Linhai is my elder.

So I came especially to report to you.

A few days ago, I did hear that Madam Yu has fostered a daughter.

But...I didn't know who that girl was.

Being able to have approval from Madam Yu,

and being able to be Lord Pei's other half.

My fiance's name is Kudi Liuli.

She is the general, Kudi Yanzhong's eldest daughter.

Kudi Yanzhong?

Kudi Yanzhong.

Do you mean Kudi Yanzhong from the Chonghua Neighborhood?

Exactly.

This Kudi Yanzhong is just a small general.

How did you recognize him?

You just said Kudi Yanzhong's eldest daughter?

This means

that Kudi Yanzhong has more than one daughter?

Liuli is Kudi Yanzhong's wife Madam An's daughter.

As far as I know, she has a sister called Shanhu.

[A few years ago, Ruzhuo wanted to get a concubine.

In the end, you rejected.

It was really embarrassing.

Isn't that Kudi Yanzhong's daughter?

Doesn't the Kudi family only have one daughter?

I still have to enter the palace for tasks.

I'll have to ask Madam to help me pass on the message then.

This Lord Pei's manor is only one manor difference from here,

but you two have to hide from each other. You cannot see each other often.

Or else, people will talk.

Liuli, you just said you wanted to have a look at your uncle's place.

You should go back to have a look.

How about this, later you will ride on the General's cart,

bring my maids and servants.

I will let them watch over you well.

Liuli, you are my General Su Manor's foster daughter.

You are also the Pei Family's soon daughter-in-law.

This will make people speak less.

I will follow all your orders.

Great! Great!

Great!

What would you like?

I am Ruyi Resist Dye Shop's regular customer.

Please talk with me inside.

Please, customer.

A'Ni, serve tea.

♫ Fate has its uncertainties ♫

♫ I've spent this life with brush and ink in hand ♫

Uncle! Liu Li has returned! ♫ Writing about what love is ♫

Good kid! Your uncle was looking forward to you coming back!

Ever since you reversed your mother's case,

revenged for her, being drugged,

I thought you must have some difficulties.

Seeing you like this, I am at ease.

A'Ni!♫ Breaking up and making up is like an illusion ♫

Liu Li! ♫ Resembles a traveler traveling through this life ♫

I have missed you so bad!

You coming here today is not because you secretly left the palace, right? ♫ After the fire, there was only one thing left ♫

I have quit my official post through His Majesty's grace. ♫ A bright moon that makes one's heart tingle ♫

From now on I won't have to return to the palace!

For real?!

Then, why are you hiding,

don't want to be seen by anyone else?

It is a long story...

You should first have a seat, let me explain it to you.

I don't dare to suddenly visit Uncle.

Because of my marriage with Lord Pei,

it will involve a high class like Hedong's household.

I heard Grand Princess Linhai's is cruel.

I am afraid it will affect you and your family.

Liuli, not only did you revenge for your mother and found justice,

you have also found someone you could be with the rest of your life.

I am truthfully happy for you.

I am also happy for your Mother.

Although Lord Pei treats you well,

but the wealthy has many things.

There is also a powerful elder like Grand Princess Linhai.

In the future, you have to be more careful of everything.

Although I am a common folk, I have been in the business industry for so long.

In the world, I have some skills.

In the future, anything you need my help with,

just tell me, no need to be polite with me.

I have remembered, please be well.

When everything is completed, I will bring my husband.

To greet you and Aunt well.

Great! Great! I will wait for that day.

Toys!

Liuli?

Look at this.

Is there any more of this color?

Yes, I'll look for it for you.

[Ruyi Resist Dye Shop]

General Su's Manor.

- A'Cheng. - Are you all right?

Ow! Ow! My leg!

Here?

Leg! Leg!

It hurts here.

Painful, this leg.

Wait.

Everywhere hurts.

This leg, this leg.

Look!

Where did she go?

You took me like this.

Are you not afraid of getting scolded by Foster Mother?

She treats me the best, but ever since she accepted you as foster daughter,

she only wants to protect you.

She doesn't care about my lovesickness.

Before, we couldn't see each other in the palace.

Now, we only have one manor difference, and we cannot see each other.

It really is too hard.

Being able to see you today,

I am really happy.

Even is mentor and his wife punish me, I am willing to.

How did you know I would go out today?

What happened?

His Majesty has an urgent matter to see me, I wanted to tell you

so I went to the General's Manor,

then I knew of that you went to Ruyi Resist Dye Shop.

So I picked you up in between.

To ease my lovesickness.

Why did His Majesty ask for you?

Is he regretful?

His Majesty is a wise man, how would he be inconstant with his words?

You are my wife.

No one can take you from me.

Then why did His Majesty ask for you?

Lady of Bright Deportmen Wu and His Majesty have strong affection and respect for each other.

Natural she has garnered jealousy from Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao.

Empress Wang and Concubine Xiao disregarded their prior conflicts

and have united to oppose Lady of Bright Deportment Wu.

Even though Lady of Bright Deportment Wu doesn't say anything, but His Majesty can't stand it.

After since Sister Wu went back to the palace,

she has been liked by His Majesty.

Now that His Majesty is displeased with Empress Wang,

-Unless he wants to... -You have guessed correctly.

His Majesty really has had the thought to remove the empress.

His Majesty really wants to make Sister Wu empress?

Also right, actually true love

those statuses, those looks from the clan,

how important are those?

In the end loved ones are together, this is the most important.

What's with you?

Are you not happy for them?

As a friend, I really am happy for them.

But as a official,

this is a different story.

[Kudi Residence]

Husband, it's dark already.

If Liuli wants to come to spend holidays, she would have already came.

Father, I am almost going to starve til I faint.

Are we going to starve to death if she doesn't come?

The winter solstice is like new year's.

The day after winter solstice

it is the time for daughters to return home.

If Liuli really left the palace,

she should come back today.

Shanhu.

Today at Ruyi Resist Dye Shop,

was it really your sister?

Although I only saw her once, but I am sure.

That cart is General Su Dingfang manor's,

I heard the person on the cart is the General's wife's newly fostered daughter.

Father, she has left the palace for so long.

She has been staying at the General's Manor.

She has also just acknowledged General's wife as foster mother.

She has also went to Ruyi Resist Dye Shop to visit her uncle.

But she didn't see you.

It looks like she is still resentful that you did not acknowledge her.

She is still resentful that mother betrayed her and her mother.

Don't speak nonsense.

[Kudi Residence]

They have come.

They have come, she really did come.

Are you here to pick me up?

Hurry up and get the chair.

Master,

Master, Fifth Madam is here.

Wuniang you have come?

-Greetings, Aunt. -Oh my, Wuniang has come.

Have you eat dinner yet?

A'Ye, hurry up and get a bowl and chopsticks for Wuniang.

Yes.

Have a seat.

Isn't it an extra set of bowl and chopsticks here?

Since Older Brother didn't expect me to come,

who is this set of bowl and chopsticks prepared for?

Could it be... Liuli?

Is Liuli really still alive?

Unless, the person who exonerated Sister-in-Law's case five years ago

was Liuli then?

Fifth Madam, don't be agitated.

There are many things that I also heard from friends.

I heard that Liuli never even died back then, and she lived well inside the palace.

Now, she has left the palace and has acknowledged General Su's wife as her godmother.

We don't know the details about it.

I'm just waiting for her to come for the festival, so that we can find out from her.

Older Brother, you really didn't know that Liuli is still alive?

No, I really didn't know.

Today, at the Duke of Hedong's Manor,

I heard some gossips.

They say that the woman that was admired by Duke of Hedong Heir Apparent

and our Pai Yan at the same time,

was not Shanhu,

but Liuli.

Well done!

No wonder Older Brother decisively refused the marriage proposals from both families at that time.

So this is the reason.

It's one thing for Older Brother to deceive the outsiders,

but I'm your own young sister, and Liuli's own aunt.

Don't forget. Back then, it was you that came begging me

to let Shanhu marry into Commandant Pei's household.

This result is that you fooled me.

How can I lift my head up anymore in Commandant Pei's household anymore?

Fifth Madam, don't be upset. You can't blame your brother, this is all Liuli who caused the trouble.

You...

Someone! Someone!

Hurry.

These silk fabrics were originally bestowed to me by His Majesty.

Since it's the festival today, I'll give them to you for good luck.

Thank you, Elder Young Lady.

This is bestowed from His Majesty.

If it weren't for Eldest Young Lady, how could we ever enjoyed such blessing in this lifetime?

Alright, pick them up.

Put them down.

Daughter, you are back.

Greetings, Father. Greetings, Aunt.

It's been a few days since I left the palace.

Because Godmother has invited me to temporarily stay at General Su's Manor

in order to prepare my wedding,

that's why I only just had the time to come back to visit today.

I hope Father won't fault me.

Daughter, you are usually busy, so it's good that you can come back.

Why would I fault you?

I've heard that Madam Yu acknowledged a goddaughter.

So it's you.

Such a fantastic news, why have you just told today?

Come, come, hurry and come inside with Aunt.

Let's chat slowly.

Hurry to warm up inside.

Are you behaving?

Put them all down.

These are bestowed from His Majesty, how can you use them?

This is Liuli's gift to the master.

Master hasn't even looked at them, how dare you distribute them among yourselves?

Let me tell you. Not a single piece can be missing.

Otherwise, watch out your skin!

Good. This is a good marriage.

Lord Magistrate Pei isn't just the heir to the Zhongjuan Pei branch of Pei clan,

he is also popular with His Majesty,

and General Su Dingfang's beloved disciple.

He excells in literature and martial arts and he is good looking. He has a great future!

He is Liuli's ideal husband.

What so great about that?

She ruined my marriage, but she does well for herself

and found a good family to marry into.

What do you mean by "your marriage?"

Back then, your sisters was the one liked by both the Duke of Hedong's Manor and Commandant Pei's Manor.

Other people don't know, but you don't know it either?

Older Brother, you only know that Pei Xingjian comes from a renowned family.

But do you know that he is called a "disaster star?"

Liuli, I live in a noble family,

and I've heard a lot about the Zhongjuan Pei branch of the Pei clan

having conflcts with Grand Princess who is Madam of the Duke of Hedong's household.

Lord Magistrate Pei is good, but he is the heir to the Zhongjuan Pei branch.

Do you know how his former wife died tragically?

Liuli, this matter concerns your life.

You must not make the wrong decision.

Daughter, don't listen to your aunt's nonsense.

Fifth Madam, what are you doing?

Is it because Liuli didn't marry into your Commandant Pei's household as a concubine

that you want to ruin her marriage with Pei Xingjian? You can't do this!

I am wholeheartedly for Liuli. What did I say wrong?

I only just found out today.

Relying on Liuli's blessing, you entered the Ministry of War as a small official.

As I see it, you are not content and wants to have a higher position.

You probably want to rely on the future son-in-law to climb up even higher.

No, this...

Back then, your whole family disregarded Liuli and her mother

and evicted them out of the household.

Now, you are disregarding Liuli's life again

and let her marry the disaster star, and you claim I am harming her?

I haven't never seen such a selfish and greedy father!

This...

Thank you for your concern, Aunt.

I accept it in my heart.

I am not talented and took over ten-some years

to finally exonerated Mother's grievance.

From now on, Mother and I

- will no longer be sinners in the Kudi family. - Yes, yes.

I also won't owe anything to the Kudi family.

Daughter, rest assured,

I have already put your mother's memorail tablet

in our Kudi family's ancestral hall as my official wife,

to console your mother's spirit in heaven.

Daughter, in the past,

it was my fault.

I let you suffer.

Even though I suffered, but I am ultimately a daughter of the Kudi family.

Now, I will also marry from the Kudi family to the Pei household.

What's in the past is the past.

However, I'd like Father to remember

the Kudi family will share the glory and downfall together.

If Father wants to live well,

then you must not be like in the past

neglect your daughter's safety and comfort because of your own needs.

Yes, yes.

Daughter, you are right.

Father will remember it to heart.

[Su Manor]

I have heard of the Eldest Young Lady Kudi's fame.

When I see you today, you indeed look like a fairy.

I don't deserve Madam's compliments.

What Madam, we are ranked in the same generation.

You can just call me A'Cui.

I don't dare to overstep. Please sit, Madam.

Even though this Hu girl is very beautiful,

but she is missing an elegant aura,

making her look like a pretty daughter from an ordinary family.

I heard that Young Lady's auspicious day is coming up. (T/N: wedding day)

I wonder which day it will be.

It is right after the Lantern Festival.

It's coming very soon then.

Grand Princess was even saying

that she wanted to invite you for a simple visit at the Duke of Hedong's Manor.

She was afraid that you are shy, so she asked me to come.

First of all, we are about to be in the same family.

We should visit each other often and become closer.

Secondly, Grand Princess has a token of affection

that she wants me to pass it to you.

I have never met Grand Princess.

How can I accept a gift from Grand Princess?

Don't decline yet. Open it and take a look first.

House in Yongning Neighborhood,

512 meters from east to west,

800 meters from north to south.

This... It's not right. It's not right.

How can I accept such a big gift?

This house is even bigger than the General's Manor.

It's ten times the size of my old home.

Eldest Young Lady, why are you so courteous?

Grand Princess already said, this house isn't worth much.

Just consider it as your dowry.

Shouyue originally grew up in the Duke of Hedong's Manor.

Grand Princess thinks of him as no different from her own sons.

Shouyue's former wife, Madam Lu,

was even Grand Princess's goddaughter.

The house that she gave as gift that time

is even bigger by three to five times than this one.

Not to mention all the opulently decorated pavilions and halls inside.

It's one of the best houses in Chang'an City.

That Madam Lu accepted it.

Your marriage came a bit rushed this time, so the house was bought hurriedly.

Even though it's a little smaller than the previous one,

but your Kudi family isn't as high as the Lu family.

So there shouldn't be many demands.

Grand Princess also said,

If Madam Yu didn't get ahead of her, Luckily Godmother

thought of it in advance. Now I can see that

Grand Princess is using the same method she used on Madam Lu

to deal with me.

I came from a small and lowly family.

I've never seen such a large manor.

I feel so undeserved.

What are you looking at, Madam?

I was looking at you when you lowerd your head.

You looked quite similar to Madam Lu.

Madam Lu Qi has been gone for ten years,

Shouyue has never been moved by other women.

Grand Princess and us were finding it strange

that Shouyue suddenly is going to remarry.

So this must be the reason why.

After Madam Lu Qi died, Shouyue sold that big house

and never mentioned the heartbreaking past again to anyone.

Therefore, you must accept this house

so that you can rebuild a love nest with Shouyue.

If you don't accept it,

how can I go back to tell Grand Princess?

If I don't accept this deed to the house,

Grand Princess must think that I'm full of ideas.

She might cause more trouble.

The elder bestowes, I don't dare to decline.

I think Grand Princess's grace.

Eldest Young Lady is ineed candid.

As it is, and I've seen Eldest Young Lady,

I should go back to report to Grand Princess.

[Su Residence]

My poor memory!

I forgot another happy event.

Eldest Young Lady, in a few more days,

we may even become family on top of family.

Family on top of family? What does Madam mean?

Your father didn't mention such a big event to you?

This ausipicious event is also Grand Princess' idea.

Grand Princess said, since Eldest Young Lady is so good and can be highly regarded by Shouyue,

then the other one must be good too.

It's quite a coincidence.

The Heir Apparent is missing a good person by his side.

So I followed Grand Princess' bidding and went to your family to propose marriage.

Your father agreed right away

to let Shanhu marry the Heir Apparent as concubine.

Don't you think this is great to become family on top of family?

Shanhu is more clever than I am,

but she is also a daughter from a small family.

If she climbs high to get into the Duke of Hedong's household,

I'm afraid she will show fear in front of Grand Princess and the Heir Apparent eventually.

With you here, your younger sister is someone who really knows you.

Once she marries into the Duke of Hedong's household, she will be a big help to me.

Rest assured, once your sister comes into our household, she will be a respected concubine.

Whatever I have, I don't let her miss anything.

She will definitely not suffer.

Thank you for such affection from Madam and Grand Princess.

I am feeling such a pleasant surprise.

I'm leaving then.

Grand Princess is indeed thorough in her thinking.

She can't get me as her goddaughter,

so she gets Shanhu married into the Duke of Hedong's Manor

so that I would be afraid of making trouble.

Or, they'll even use Shanhu to deal with me.

This technique is really a danger to guard against.

[Duke of Hedong's Manor] Madam, Kudi Shanhu is here to greet Madam.

- Greetings, Madam. - Shanhu greets Grand Princess.

Hope Grand Princess is in good health.

You may rise.

Come over here.

You are Kudi Liuli's younger sister?

Yes.

Even though you are not born by the same mother,

but I would imagine the sisterly feelings

should be quite good, right?

Replying to Grand Princess,

Liuli left home at the age of eight.

Not too long ago, she suddenly returned.

We haven't been together for many years.

Naturally we don't have much of a bond.

Our Duke of Hedong's household is really strict with rules.

Once you enter the Duke of Hedong's household in the future,

your elbow must not be turning outside. (T/N: must not be loyal to outsiders)

Even if it's your own sister, it won't be acceptable.

What I've said... do you understand?

Even though I'm ignorant and slow, but I understand what it means to obey the husband when a woman is married.

Once I enter the Duke of Hedong's Manor,

I will naturally do whatever Grand Princess orders,

and I definitely won't be disloyal.

You are clever.

Then, let me remind you something.

When you go back, you must prepare it for me.

Yes, I will listen to whatever Grand Princess says.

Come, come.

It's starting.

So fun!

It's so jovial and bustling outside.

Godmother, I was busy in dressmaking in the palace.

I have never cut figures.

If I don't cut well, please don't laugh at me.

It's nothing big if you don't cut well.

It's just for good luck.

The legend says, when Goddess Nuwa created people, (Chinese mythology)

she created chickens on the first day, dogs on the second day,

pigs on the third day, goats on the fourth day,

oxen on the fifth day, horses on the sixth day,

and it's on the seventh day that she finally created people.

That's why the seventh day of the new year is called "People's Festival."

Every year at this time in Chang'an, in everyone's hair,

on every family's screen,

there will figures cut from the colorful silk

and the gold and silver foil.

Madam, you have such great skills.

The figurines you cut look alive.

You are indeed the successor to Number One Needle in the World.

You are so clever.

Ever since I was young,

my scissor-cutting skills have been considered good.

But now, when I place mine next to the beauty you cut,

it can only sweep the floor and hold the horse's leash for her.

Godmother is joking. Godmother cuts better.

Come, show me.

Go, send it to Lord Magistrate Pei next door.

Let him cherish these.

Yes.

A'Cheng just sent this over.

A'Cheng said, the gold-foil figure was made

by Lord Pei for Lady Kudi by himself.

He asked Lady Kudi to accept it.

In a few days, it will be your wedding.

From then on, you will be together every day.

But don't become the weaver girl and the cowherd. (T/N: The couple in the fairy tale can only meet once a year)

I would become the Celestial Empress who separated the couple.
