[Episode 9]

Strange? Odd?

It's unexpected, right? This is just a dung yard.

You're useless.

I heard the government planted many people around Lavish Lane.

I have no choice but to send refugees to the dung yard.

Never mind, there must be another way.

Please excuse me.

There's more...

The government is pressuring us hard.

I fear there are rats on your side leaking information.

Don't worry, Master Ma, I will investigate it carefully.

How did it go?

I heard you figured it out.

Yes, you're the one who's been looking for me over the years.

I don't have time for this bullsh*t.

If I had chased you the last seven years, I could lock you in here for seven more.

I'll see whether you'll say yes.

I will say yes. Why wouldn't I?

I'm in your hands anyway. There's no point in struggling.

But then again, I already suffered seven years.

I should enjoy myself a little, right?

If you say yes, I'll give you anything you want.

Fine. Come on.

Show me the results of your research of seven years.

All right.

That's remarkable.

It's been seven years, and you're still running in circles.

Your Golden Phoenix Pin is unparalleled, and your medical skills are second to none.

I really need your help!

You're right! People like you don't understand the essence of herbal medicine science.

You need a patient to test the decoctions.

Come on...

You don't need to worry about patients.

I can get you patients.

[Jiang Mansion]

We took so many baths and changed our clothes many times.

Why do we still smell so bad?

- I guess we sort of share the same bad taste, right? - Yes.

Brother Shui,

you're not someone who would get discouraged after one failure.

No, but I didn't think we would fail because Third Brother thinks of us as friends.

Or that he had genuine empathy for us.

I didn't expect that from him.

Well, people are complicated.

Younger Brother, you wanted to see me?

Brother, while you and Lady Shui were investigating Third Brother,

Lady Qi and I found some clues.

I want you to go somewhere with me.

Okay, let's go.

Where's Lady Shui?

Oh, did you want her to come with us?

L-Let's go get her.

No, that's... not what I meant.

Junior Young Master, I'm here only to ensure Young Master doesn't seek pleasures while here.

Why are we here?

Younger Brother, you're finally enlightened! I've been waiting so long for this day.

No, Brother, it's not like that.

It's okay, it's okay! I get it! Don't be shy.

The Lantern Boudoir is my territory; do whatever you want.

Young Master, it's been a long time.

This is Junior Young Master, right?

Hello, Madame.

Don't call me "Madame." Call me "Zhe Zhi."

Yes, Madame.

Madame, you'll catch a cold dressed like that.

And you might get periarthritis (joints arthritis).

Young Master, you never told me that your little brother was so adorable.

- You should have introduced us sooner. - Isn't he adorable?

This is Lady Shui, right?

Young Master told me that Lady Shui is prettier than me.

I didn't believe him. I wasn't convinced.

But now I see you in person,

I'm convinced.

So you've been talking behind my back...

Don't just stand here, I saved a table for you. Let's go sit down.

Let's go.

Junior Young Master, it's unlike you to come here.

There must be a good reason for your visit.

Look!

Third Brother's henchman.

I saw this person in Lavish Lane.

He smells just like Brother does.

He's probably a frequent visitor of this place, too.

Third Brother might be cautious.

But that's not necessarily the case for his henchmen.

I thought we could get information from him if we got him drunk.

Let's go.

Lady Shui, he is my frequent customer.

Let me help you.

Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter.

Hi.

Go take care of Table 1.

Yes.

No one can resist...

any of these girls' charms.

I'll go take a look.

Younger Brother, have a drink. Here.

Elder Brother, we're investigating a case.

It's all right. Just drink moderately.

Drink it.

Drink it all.

We rarely have a chance to come out. Let's drink more.

Let me say, this is fine liquor in this place.

Yun Cheng.

Oh, L-Lady Qi, what a coincidence.

Why are you here?

I was bringing you some fruit.

Why don't you try some?

What do you think?

It's so sour.

"Sour"?

Well, try this.

This is delicious.

Try it.

Do you need something?

I... I don't need anything.

I noticed Lady Qi really loves to smile.

You must have feelings for someone.

Who is it?

You have no serious business indeed. I'm leaving.

Don't, don't, Lady Qi.

Slow down!

This is a token from the Jiang Family.

Have you seen this before?

Let's keep drinking.

Keep drinking.

He's just a head coachman. He doesn't know much.

So he didn't confess anything.

However, there's a surprise.

A waist token from the auction?

The auction is held at Jiang's Mansion.

I have something else to tell you.

I found out that a group of men

who resemble killers bought many romance novels

during Double Seventh Festival in Jiangzhou.

"Romance novels"?

Yes, I don't know if it's some sort of quirk.

Thank you, Zhe Zhi. We'll go home and discuss it now.

Where's Junior Young Master?

I have an idea.

You're awake?

We're going home.

What do you think, Young Master?

Be serious.

We'll be hosting a charity gala in two days.

Master Jiang sent waist tokens to all merchants he invited

so they can easily enter and leave.

This charity gala is aimed to

solve the problem of accommodating refugees from North Bay Village.

Will Third Brother target these refugees

by using shelter as an excuse for human trafficking?

He won't be at the gala for sure.

A banquet hosted by the government

will never invite someone with a questionable identity like Third Brother.

Therefore, a mastermind must be behind him.

He and that head coachman are just his henchmen.

He once said he only did those shady things

because he had no choice.

Now I think about it, he was likely forced to do it.

Anyway, the gala is our only lead now.

However, in terms of power and wealth,

any of those distinguished guests could be his master.

It's useless to make wild guesses here.

We should wait until the gala to find out.

Whoever insists on sheltering the refugees could be his master.

That makes sense.

I must attend to another matter. I'm leaving now.

What are you looking at?

Nothing. All right, let's go get another drink.

Brother, I should go study.

How boring.

Even if he's in love with someone else, it would be understandable.

But is it really my own wishful thinking?

Did I get the wrong idea?

Even if I'm just Hong Niang (matchmaker), I still have to find the truth.

It's not against the law to find out.

Swordsman Shen, have you been waiting long?

Not really.

Thank you.

The corner of your mouth.

I thought you would like it.

How do you know I like to eat this? Thank you.

Well, I just want to know if you would

normally give people gifts?

I usually don't, unless it's someone special.

A special person?

Well, have you received any gifts?

I have received some.

My fans give me swords, blades, or hidden weapons.

Anything else besides these?

For example...

accessories?

When I walked around Jiangzhou last time,

I noticed many things would actually make suitable gifts.

I'm a man. Who would give me accessories?

Actually, I think giving someone a gift is just a kind intention.

For example, if you give me a durian candy,

I would feel very happy.

You do have a special fondness for food.

Yes. Have you heard of cherry blossom-flavored cotton candy?

I heard it's very rare and delicious.

If I have a chance, I'll surely take you there to try it.

There's definitely something fishy about this Shen Qing Li.

Has he never received a present before?

Then what's on his wrist?

He's never been to Jiangzhou.

But he even knows the limited flavor

of the cotton candy sold at Double Seventh Festival.

I think he went on a date with someone else.

But he still kept hinting you're the special one in his heart.

Sister, that Shen Qing Li is a womanizer!

Take this.

This is your heart and this is Shen Qing Li's heart.

You have only Shen Qing Li in your fish tank.

But Shen Qing Li's heart is the ocean.

All kinds of fish are in there; each fish is named "Special Someone."

Sister, for a man like that you should just

cut him loose.

But I don't think he is that kind of man at all.

The way he looks and talks to me

doesn't seem to be lying.

Is there a reason he's reluctant to talk?

Sister, come to your senses, okay?

A womanizer has genuine feelings for every girl.

They fool themselves first before they can fool you.

"Womanizer"?

Womanizer...

She left so early in the morning.

She must be in a hurry to talk about me with Ba Xi.

I thought you would like it.

Have you heard of cherry blossom-flavored cotton candy?

If I have a chance, I'll surely take you there to try it.

I gave her such an obvious hint yesterday.

I'm sure she would have guessed it.

Brother Shui.

[Hai Wang ("King of the Ocean")]

What horrible book are you reading?

Didn't you ask me to read it?

I...

[Hai Wang (Politics "Kingship Based on the Sea")]

Well, read it then.

- Fang Yun Cheng! - Lady Qi.

Listen to me. Don't be upset.

Listen to me. I meant no offense.

Help! Help!

Let me explain, Lady Qi.

Lady Qi, you misunderstood me.

Lady Qi, what happened?

Look.

He put a pill in my soup and said it's a beauty tonic.

But he looks sneaky and suspicious.

- You can tell he makes mischief. - Let me explain, Lady Qi.

I'm interrogating him.

Young Master, please help me persuade Lady Qi.

Fang Yun Cheng, just confess.

I wondered why you kept sneaking to Tian Ling's place all the time.

Otherwise, she thinks it's some kind of wicked drug.

Fang Yun Cheng, you...

No, Lady Qi, don't be upset.

I don't mean you any harm.

No, the smell of this pill is very strange.

It's definitely not a simple health tonic.

Junior Young Master.

What?

Fang Yun Cheng, it was you after all!

Lady Qi, you misunderstood...

I-I have no bad intentions, Lady Qi!

You've crossed the line!

Lady Qi!

You'd better confess. What's going on?

Explain yourself; what's your motive?

I...

I-I just want to know what she thinks.

Be honest, when did you plan this?

I accidentally learned it at Lavish Lane.

This is a Truth Pill.

It's mild and harmless.

Once you take it, you will answer any question someone asks.

Every word you say is true.

Yun Cheng, tell us the truth for a less severe punishment.

I did make a mistake.

But Junior Young Master, wouldn't you want to know what

the person you like is thinking?

- I do. - I do.

Exactly.

So would you like to try

the Truth Pill, too?

Why are you both looking at me?

Anyway, I'm done interrogating him.

I'm going to see Ba Xi.

Sister.

Are you still thinking about that womanizer?

I just want to make things clear this time.

It's already so late.

I wonder if that womanizer will still go.

It's all Fang Yun Cheng's fault.

He bought something called the Truth Pill.

He caused such a big mess and wasted my time.

"The Truth Pill"?

Is there such a miraculous pill?

I don't know. It's just a white pill.

The Truth Pill is a nice idea.

I just have to ask him, no need to drug him.

Hang up the lanterns for me.

All right.

Sister, that Shen Qing Li seems an experienced womanizer.

He managed to fool you so easily.

If he really is a wretched man,

I'll return this to him and forget my feelings for him.

Go on.

Fine.

Hurry, Boss. I have something else to do.

The Truth Pill is a wonder drug from another city.

I don't have a lot in stock.

With such a mess, I forgot where I put it.

Wait a minute. I'll keep looking.

It's white and plain.

This is it.

I found it. You don't need to look anymore.

Young Lady, that's Midnight Rendezvous!

Thank you, Sir.

Take care, Sir.

- Let's go. - Take care.

Young Master, can you shop a bit more with me?

I'm afraid the fireworks we have

are not enough to make Lady Qi forgive me.

Since you asked for my advice, then listen to me.

You and Lady Qi didn't get to see fireworks in Jiangzhou last time.

She must be disappointed.

Although this isn't as nice as the ones in Jiangzhou,

she will see your sincerity.

You're a true master indeed.

Should I add some music too?

Forget it, you're tone-deaf.

Let's go.

Yun Cheng, go home first. I'll walk around a bit longer.

- All right, you go ahead. I'm leaving now. - Go home now. Go on.

Sister, I heated the decoction for you.

Make sure you get all the answers later.

I'm leaving now.

Swordsman Shen, please excuse me.

I want to ask about the bracelet...

I want to ask about your bracelet...

It's okay.

Swordsman Shen, I...

Lady Shui.

You're here. Take a seat.

You...

Drink the decoction first.

Every time I see you, we're always in a hurry.

I happened to have free time today.

I want to have a nice talk with you.

I've been hoping to have a nice talk with you, too.

I asked you to come in such a hurry

since I wanted to talk to you about something.

Go ahead.

Who gave you the bracelet you were wearing that day?

Did you pledge your love to someone else?

If so, why are you so attentive to me

while keeping secrets from me?

You and I felt like old friends when we first met.

I hope you can be honest with me.

Swordsman Shen.

What's wrong?

No, I like you.

What are you doing?

Ba Xi! Ba Xi!

You monster! I'll kill you!

Ba Xi!

Ba Xi! Let him go.

It's all right.

After what happened today, we will never be together!

How did that happen?

She poured her heart out to me today.

How can I do that to her?

Monster! Scum!

[I am so sorry.]

[Gentle Pleasant Breeze]

Who is it?

[I am so sorry.]

[Gentle Pleasant Breeze]

Junior Young Master!

Yun Cheng lit fireworks for you.

This is for you.

Is this for me?

Remember to clean it up.

As long as you're happy...

Thank you, Junior Young Master!

What's the difference between this book and the Truth Pill? [Thirty-Six Tactics of Love]

Yun Cheng is willing to make up for his mistakes and confess love with fireworks.

What about you, Jiang Tian Ling?

Thirty-Six Tactics of Love]

Never mind.

Loving someone has nothing to do with whether she loves you.

What are you doing?

Lady Shui.

- Junior Young Master. - Why are you here at this hour?

I... came out for a walk.

I grew up among books.

Therefore, to everyone else I'm extremely rational.

But sometimes I would also be overwhelmed by negative emotions.

But I don't have a confidant who would listen.

Whenever I feel that way, I would look up,

gaze at the sky

and the river of stars.

I am one of them, but every one of them is not me.

All my unhappiness or sorrows

will dissipate into the starry sky.

Lady Shui, don't you like it?

Although we can't see the moon today, the stars are dazzling more than ever.

That's right. When I gaze at the vast ocean of stars,

my troubles really seem to fade away.

By the way, do you know astrology?

In the study of astrology, people have a guardian star

according to their birth date.

That's my guardian star, the Star of Longevity.

The Star of Longevity

sounds like it symbolizes wisdom.

No, it symbolizes maturity, prudence,

and longevity.

Don't you think it's very accurate?

Well, what star comes after the Star of Longevity?

The one after the Star of Longevity

is this one:

the Star of Blessing,

which symbolizes all life's good things.

Lady Shui, is that your guardian star?

When is your birthday?

My birthday is July 17 on the lunar calendar.

"July 17"?

Your birthday is coming up.

Lady Shui, how will you celebrate it?

I don't have a habit of celebrating my birthday.

Look, the Star of Longevity and the Star of Blessing

are so close to each other.

They shine on each other and keep each other warm.

However, no matter how close they are,

they are still separated by the Milky Way.

They will never come across each other.

It's the same with people. No matter how close you are,

it's hard to know another's thoughts.

They just feel like strangers.

Although they can't come across each other,

their orbits try their best to draw closer.

- Just like you... - Brother Shui.

Brother.

Young Master?

Well, we have the charity gala tomorrow and lots to do.

Come back with me now.

Let's go.

Well, get some rest soon, Junior Young Master.

Jiang Bai Yu, I'll be angry if you don't let go!

What's going on with you?

You can tell me if you're unhappy about something.

You can vent your anger to me if you're upset.

Why are you looking at stars with my brother so late at night?

Who said I'm in a bad mood?

If you're not in a bad mood, why did my brother take you stargazing?

Why are you so concerned about me suddenly?

That's because...
