[Special Lady]

[Episode 31]

What are you looking at?

You look so absorbed.

Do you know who that goddess is?

I saw her in a picture book.

That goddess

is Sanshengmu.

She was the daughter of the God of Mount Hua.

One day, the goddess came to the mortal world

and fell in love with a scholar at first sight.

But her father and brother were strongly against their relationship.

The goddess was brought back to Mount Hua.

And then the scholar and the goddess were far apart.

Xiao Yu.

After we go back,

will we

end up like Sanshengmu and the scholar?

I think

it was because the scholar was too weak

that his beloved woman was taken away by her father and brother.

If I had been that scholar,

I would have destroyed Mount Hua,

taken the goddess away,

and eloped with her.

I...

I...

After I go back...

You don't have a fever.

No.

I don't.

Were you trying to kiss me?

I...

So it was in my dream.

Why would I have such a dream?

Luckily, it was just a dream.

Otherwise, she would kill me with a knife.

I...

How are feeling?

I think my arm is still bleeding.

Then let me continue to sleep.

Okay.

You can sleep.

Oh no.

Walk slowly.

Okay.

Father.

Yueniang.

Father.

How are you?

Are you hurt, Yueniang?

I should thank Xiao Yu for saving me.

Mother.

Mother.

I'm glad you're safe.

I'm glad you're safe.

Are you okay?

How's your injury?

I'm fine.

Let me see.

Let me see.

Mr. Xiao, your wound needs to be treated right now.

Let me take you to the clinic first.

I'm fine.

-Thank you, Mr. Song. -You're welcome.

Please.

Okay, go.

Let's go.

Mother.

Go.

Help your mother.

[Li Mansion]

Father.

Mother.

I'm not a good son.

I failed to avenge you.

[Leger of Donations Managed by Duke Yue]

Father.

Didn't you say this could keep us safe?

Why were you and Mother

killed?

Now that you're dead,

what's the point of me being alive?

Who?

Now that you don't want to live anymore,

let me kill you.

Give me the ledger before I kill you.

Catch him!

Open the door!

Open the door!

Hurry up!

Who is it?

Shen...

Instructor Shen.

Two...

What do you want?

Two...

Two men are trying to kill me.

Help me! Hurry!

Who are they?

Are you here to turn yourself in?

No, no, no.

Let me come in first.

Let me come in first.

[Yiyang Academy]

What should we do?

Duke Yue ordered us

to get back the ledger,

whatever the cost.

Let's go.

Mother.

You may rest assured.

I've managed to win Yan Qinruo's affection.

Soon,

I'll be Duke Yue's son-in-law.

As his son-in-law,

I'll be able to take back everything that should have belonged to you

and avenge you.

You don't need to worry about Feiniang.

I'll give her the best of everything.

Now you're fine.

I feel relieved.

Mr. Chen, thanks for caring about me.

Li Wenshu.

How dare you come here?

Wait! Wait!

Wait a second.

I'll explain later.

Why are they trying to kill you?

The ledger...

They want the ledger.

The ledger?

The ledger can prove Yiyang Academy's innocence

in the corruption case.

Catch them.

Stop!

Give me the ledger. Hurry.

Hurry!

Mr. Chen!

Run.

He's much stronger than you.

Go to Luwen Hall and ring the bell. Ask for help.

Hurry.

Run!

Stay safe.

Don't show up.

Don't...

[Luwen Hall]

Help!

Help!

Murder!

Instructor Shen, are you okay?

I'm fine.

Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen.

Help!

Help!

Help!

What's going on?

Help!

Help!

What happened?

Isn't that Li Wenshu?

What happened?

Li Wenshu.

Isn't he wanted by the police?

Listen to me.

Don't come over.

Go with me to save Mr. Chen.

Someone is trying to kill him.

He's in great danger.

Wait.

He's an outlaw.

Don't believe him.

Li Wenshu, you...

I'm not an outlaw.

There's a traitor among us.

Don't come over.

Go with me to save Mr. Chen.

He's in great danger.

Hurry up.

Hurry up!

Should we follow him and see what's going on?

Don't believe him.

Go with me to save Mr. Chen.

You know what kind of person he is.

Don't go.

Let's leave. Don't go.

Hurry up!

Hurry!

Let's go.

We'd better not go with them.

Let's go back to our rooms.

Hurry.

Let's go.

Miss Yan, are we still going?

Well.

I want to go.

Qinruo, Qin Ruo.

Don't be impulsive.

If Mr. Chen is in danger,

we boys should go and save him first.

Miss Yan.

Listen to my brother.

Feiniang, stay with Miss Yan.

Brother, be careful.

Mr. Chen.

Mr. Chen.

What happened?

Mr. Chen.

-Yueniang. -Mr. Chen.

Yueniang.

Mr. Chen.

Yueniang.

Yueniang.

-Zhu. -Yueniang.

Where have you been?

Didn't you say you were good at martial arts?

Where were you

when he needed you to protect him?

Mr. Zhang.

Don't blame Instructor Shen.

We were going after another man in black.

Instructor Shen was almost killed.

Dean Song.

This is a serious case.

Dean Song, please ask the students to go back with you as soon as possible.

We'll soon seal off this place.

Got it.

Got it.

Yueniang.

Li Wenshu.

Go with us.

Take him.

Go.

It's suddenly so quiet everywhere.

Since my father opened the academy,

it's never been so quiet.

Mr. Chen wouldn't want the academy to be so quiet.

[Song Ling, the eldest daughter of the Song family]

That day, we said goodbye to each other.

[Tomb of Mr. Chen Juntang]

I didn't expected

that it would be the last time I saw you.

I still remember

it was very windy that day.

You were standing under a tree in white.

You seemed to have a lot to tell me.

I didn't ask.

And you didn't tell me.

Juntang.

What would you have said to me

if I had asked you what you wanted to tell me?

Get up.

Yueniang.

If you meet someone

who you love very much,

you must do everything to be with him.

Don't make choices that you'll regret.

Mr. Song.

Invite him tomorrow.

Don't tell my brother about it.

Okay.

Well.

What happened?

Another person died?

What's going on?

Why do you have to close our academy?

We're about close your academy.

Why? Why do you have to do it?

-We have classes. -Why?

We have classes.

What are they doing?

Give us an explanation.

What's going on?

We don't know.

Dean Song.

Mr. Ming.

What are you doing?

Dean Song.

We've found some clues about Chen Juntang's death.

It has something to do with a corruption case.

I've got an order to close the academy

and investigate the case thoroughly.

How come the academy is involved in a corruption case?

You definitely made mistakes.

Yueniang.

Don't be rude.

You definitely made mistakes.

You should investigate it more carefully.

Yes, you should.

Give us an explanation.

We have procedures to follow when investigating a case.

You don't get to judge us.

What do you mean?

Calm down, everyone.

Mr. Ming, do what you should do.

Dean Song, thanks for your cooperation.

From today onward,

Yiyang Academy will be closed.

It cannot operate

until the case

is solved.

Yes.

Father.

How can they do it?

Father.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

What's the secret behind the list of donors?

Why would they risk their lives to get it?

Mr. Xiao.

I've just come back.

I'll leave it to you.

Will you take the imperial examination?

What?

Will you try to be the Number One Scholar?

I'm not here to try to be the Number One Scholar.

You're right.

You never said you would.

I thought you would.

I'll get some water.

Greetings, Your Highness.

Mr. Song.

Have a seat.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Mr. Song, you must be very busy now.

I hope I'm not disturbing you.

Not at all, Your Highness.

What can I do for you, Your Highness?

What are your thoughts

about what happened in the academy?

Do you want me to be honest, Your Highness?

Of course.

I knew it would happen.

It was only a matter of time.

I didn't expect you to be so frank.

That's good.

Mr. Song.

I wanted to tell you about it

a long time ago.

But back then,

it was not the right time.

It's getting windy.

That's a sign of clouds gathering and chaos occurring.

Mr. Song.

Do you

trust me?

Xiao Yu doesn't know I'm here.

Duke Yue.

Li Shancai is dead.

The ledger is missing.

Song Xu got involved in it.

Don't worry.

I'll get the ledger back.

Forget it.

The situation is getting worse.

Let's

take the opportunity.

How?

Song Xun is so capable.

I think he must need

an ally now.

What's your plan?

What do you want me to do?

I heard that you

loved your daughter very much.

Don't get Qinruo involved.

Looks like you've made your choice.

Why did Father ask me to get Qinruo to borrow a boat from Song Zhu?

Lady Zhao.

Why do you look absent-minded?

I'm thinking about how to take away my luggage.

You can just find a boat to move them.

I don't have that much luggage.

You

have so much luggage.

You'll need at least ten carts

to get it back to your home.

Actually,

I planned to use carts

to get it back.

But

Zhou Ji

and Feiniang also have much luggage.

We three have too much luggage.

It's more convenient to use boats.

Zhou Ji?

He and I discussed it.

He and Feiniang

will go to my home with me.

When did you...

Did you...

Aren't your father against it?

My father would let me do everything.

Your father loves you so much.

He lets you do everything.

Unlike my father...

What's wrong, Lady Zhao?

Doesn't your father love you?

Let's pack up.

Will one boat be enough?

I have three boxes of shoes.

[Song Mansion]

Why are you sitting on the wall?

I thought it was inappropriate

to come to see you so late.

So I climbed over the walls of the academy to get here.

Do you have something to say?

Go ahead.

I'm listening.

Nothing. Go back now.

What a fool.

Who wants to see me?

I don't know.

But he looks like an elder family member of yours.

An elder family member?

Father.

Yuanzhen.

Hello, Mr. Zhao.

Hello.

Yuanzhen.

Introduce your classmate

to me.

Mr. Zhao.

My name is Yan Qinruo.

You can call me Qinruo.

Your surname is Yan.

Then you must be

Duke Yue's daughter.

Yuanzhen often mentioned you to me.

I've met Duke Yue several times.

Your brother is very handsome

and you're so graceful.

Duke Yue is so lucky to have you.

Thank you, Mr. Zhao.

You and Lady Zhao have a good chat.

Excuse me.

Bye.

Father.

Why are you here all of a sudden?

Yuanzhen.

Have you done

the thing I asked you to do?

Soon.

She'll be back in a few days.

Okay.

I'll wait for your good news at the inn.

Pack your things these days.

I'll send someone to pick you up.

All right.

I'm leaving.

Take care.

I won't be hungry or old at home.

I'm worried about you.

You are here alone.

You should take care.

Enough. No more nagging.

It's not like I'll never see you again.

Xiao Yu.

If you

come back,

take Miss Song Zhu with you.

You...

Are you out of your mind?

I'm serious.

I know

she still doesn't know your identity.

Since you know she doesn't,

how can I do that?

Well.

Actually,

I think...

This is what I want to tell you.

Think about it.

Remember your identity.

What are you going to say to Prince Fu?

I've been thinking about how to tell her about it.

But her family and the academy are in trouble.

So I haven't got a chance to talk to her about it.

Just think it through.

No matter what happens,

I'll always be on your side.

Young Master.

We've finished packing.

Thank you, Uncle Hu.

I'm leaving then.

Take care.

Lady Jin, don't cry.

If you keep crying,

your makeup will be ruined.

That's right. You look ugly now.

Really?

Yes.

Don't cry.

Don't be so sad.

We can visit each other often in the future.

Lady Zhao, what's your plan

after you go home?

I haven't thought about it.

I'll listen to my parents.

Lady Zhao, I'll miss you.

Me too.

Remember to visit me.

Miss Yan.

I haven't been in the academy for long.

But I like it here

as much as you do.

Zhu is here.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Wait for me.

Yueniang.

Let's go together.

Okay.

Miss Song Zhu.

Hello.

I'm here to see if I can help.

I need to go back and pack.

Bye.

Miss Yan.

Zhu.

If you have anything to say to her,

go to her room.

No need.

You continue to pack.

Bye.

Miss Song Zhu.

You're doing it again.

I knew you'd be here.

I'm not in the mood to fool around with you.

Do you think

will the academy be permanently closed?

No.

Trust me.

I trust you but you can do nothing about it.

You are not a god.

Song Zhu.

Trust me.

You're so childish.

You're like a fool.

I'm a fool, but I'm a lucky fool.

Just like you.

You're smiling.

Look.

I'm glad you're smiling.

Life goes on.

There'll always be sunny days after a storm.

Right?

Do you think

I'm a person who can do nothing

but cause trouble?

Do you think I shouldn't have been so impulsive?

Do you think I shouldn't have offended Li Shancai?

Do you think I shouldn't

done that thing which caused a big trouble?

Don't be silly.

You did nothing wrong.

On the contrary,

you are the hero in people's eyes.

You are the pride of the Song family.

You did the thing many people didn't dare to do.

Don't think that you did something wrong.

You're praising me.

You're really praising me.

Come on, go on.

I mean it.

I...

I always think you are a good girl.

Why are you flushing?

Your ears flush red too.

I...

What are you doing?

I just want to know

when you realized that I was a good girl.

Why are you being shy?
