[Love Like White Jade]

[Episode 12]

Did you kill someone named Xiao Kai Zhen seven years ago?

You work for Thousand Horses? Does this have anything to do with Ma Ru Long?

Say something! Say something!

What is this?

Doctor, I smelled this perfume sachet this morning

and noticed an earthy smell.

"An earthy smell"?

Did your condition improve after you took the medicine I prescribed?

Not at all.

That makes sense.

I mean there is a herb in this sachet called purpurine.

Long-term exposure will lead to blindness.

I'm afraid you bought a counterfeit perfume sachet.

The hems of the sachet were sewn with lily stitches.

Lily stitches come from Jade Parlor.

Let's go to the Jade Parlor.

All right.

Are you saying a perfume sachet from our store hurt this young lady's eyes?

A doctor diagnosed it.

That's right. The cortex albizia, platyclade seeds, knotweed vine,

and wild jujube are harmless.

However, with purpurine, it would cause harm to the eyes.

But our store's formula does not include purpurine.

We use a rare herb called eclipta prostrata (false daisy).

Maybe because they look similar,

some merchants substitute eclipta prostrata with purpurine.

I believe you bought a counterfeit product.

But this sachet's lining used your unique sewing technique.

Young Lady, all can be counterfeit these days.

What's a perfume sachet in comparison?

Boss, would you dare to compare this to the product from your store?

You have purpurine in yours

instead of eclipta prostrata.

How do you explain that?

Why would my goods be like that?

That's not possible.

Boss, could it be an issue with your supplier?

My wife is in charge of purchasing all herbs.

She wouldn't make that mistake.

Besides you and your wife, who else came into contact with these herbs?

It's Liu Pang.

He's in charge of inventory and ordering herbs.

Where is he now?

He has sticky fingers (steals). I fired him a while ago.

"You fired him"?

The owner of Jade Parlor is awful.

He fired me that day and didn't pay me anything.

It's all right. I'll lend it to you.

- I'm so sad. - Don't be upset.

- How can I not be upset? - Are you Liu Pang?

Young Master, Junior Young Master, his name is Liu Pang. He's my friend.

He was fired recently. I'm comforting him.

Did you work for Jade Parlor?

Yes, I worked for Jade Parlor.

Whenever he was supposed to pay my wages, he would go out of his way to deduct my pay.

This time was even worse.

He just fired me.

Let me ask, were you in charge of all herbal medicine in Jade Parlor?

I don't know how to handle those things.

Boss Lady is the only one with the right to do that.

I'm just a clerk.

I don't have that kind of power.

Brother Fang, what should I do?

What should I do? I can't even go home now.

Yun Cheng.

Thank you, Junior Young Master.

You came back.

Did you find Liu Pang?

We did find him,

but he didn't do it.

Who could it be then?

Madam Zhou, you should be very clear about that, right?

I... I don't know.

You should stop evading.

I...

The enemy within is the hardest to perceive.

It's really you!

Madam Zhou, do you have a secret hardship?

Why don't you tell us?

Otherwise, we will notify the officials.

Don't, don't.

My husband is very stingy.

- You... - My brother is sick.

That's why I sold the eclipta prostrata.

Whom did you sell it to?

Manager Sun of Thousand Horses hall.

It's related to Thousand Horses indeed.

It's done.

Is this the drug?

Yes.

It seems we can start the drug test when the equipment arrives.

This drug is toxic.

It's only a few lives. It's not the first time.

I didn't expect you to be in such a leisurely, carefree mood.

I just made this conveniently.

It's my habit.

Madam Zhou said she sold the eclipta prostrata to Thousand Horses for a high price,

but what would Thousand Horses want with eclipta prostrata?

Are they using it to make decoctions for the refugees?

This herb is used to calm nerves and isn't very potent.

It's mainly used to make perfume sachets and pillows.

These refugees don't need it.

It seems we really need to check out Thousand Horses.

But Thousand Horses must be aware of us after what happened last time.

I fear it won't be easy to find anything if we investigate rashly.

It's all right.

Let's leave them alone a few days.

If they think we already gave up,

they'll reveal themselves easier.

Brother Shui, a-are your eyes acting up again?

This medicine doesn't seem to work.

Yes. It's all right. Don't worry.

Maybe it'll be better in a while.

You shouldn't act tough anymore.

I'll take you home to rest.

I'll take you somewhere later. Let's go.

We're going back first.

Be careful.

Jiang Bai Yu,

I have bad eyesight. Why bring me to a place like this?

Let me tell you, this place sells many goods from the imperial palace

and treasures from outposts.

Plus, I heard they have a new wonder drug

that can cure eye diseases.

- Is it that miraculous? - Yes.

Jiang Bai Yu, why is this

mosquito net embroidered with a dragon and phoenix?

Brother Shui, you shouldn't look at these.

Why not? I can't see it clearly. Just tell me.

Well, this...

This is probably undergarments used by imperial concubines.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

Where is the medicine for the eyes?

What do you want to buy?

Boss, I heard you have a wonder drug for eye diseases here.

What a coincidence.

It just arrived.

These are eye drops from Qiang State.

It's made with purified glacial water.

Even if you're completely blind, after using this,

you can see the light of day again.

It only costs 300 gold.

If such miraculous medicine exists, why do we still need clinics?

I don't think it's very reliable.

Let's go.

Don't go.

Since we're already here, just try it.

What if it works?

Boss, I'll take it.

All right.

Since you are so generous,

I'll recommend another first-class item.

Take this as an example; it's made with seven layers of wild boar skin.

It's pliable, tough with a pure copper fancy lock.

Once you lock it, no one can open it.

Come on, Young Lord. Take a look.

Sure, sure.

It's quite nice to lock a disobedient young lord like you.

What are you doing?

I'm just... Try it.

We are already here. Let's try it.

I've never seen it before. What is it?

Is it fun?

Not bad.

I'll try it, too.

Boss, help me put it on.

Sure, sure. You can both try it.

I'm doing this since you bought me eye drops.

Try walking.

Seems quite nice. Let's go. Let's try it.

Jiang Bai Yu!

Sir, this is quite tight.

It's indeed tight.

All right, all right. Well, unlock it.

I'm sorry.

The key is still on the way here from Ryukyu Kingdom.

What did you say?

Just try it.

Look at us now. Nice try.

Let's go with the flow.

Don't worry. There must be a way.

- What can you do? - I told you there's a way.

Beware of fire and candles when the weather is dry!

Beware of fire and candles when the weather is dry!

Brother, you sure know how to have fun.

Where is Bai Yu?

- Grandma. - Where is Bai Yu?

- Madam Jiang. - What is locked?

- Look. - Madam Jiang.

Let me see it.

You sure know how to have fun.

You're just like a young version of your grandpa.

Grandpa did this when he was young?

Wu Xia, this Bai Yu is mischievous.

Are you indulging him, too?

Madam Jiang, it's not what you think.

Madam Jiang, this is the best locksmith in Chong'an City.

Go on, check on them.

All right, leave it to me.

All right.

You sure know how to have fun.

Madam Jiang, I'm not trying to brag.

Within all Chong'an City,

I can open and unlock anything without alarming the person.

I think you are bragging.

Hurry and unlock it for them.

This is the only one I can't unlock!

Why not?

It's God's will to lock them together.

How can I go against God's will?

Therefore...

Goodbye, goodbye.

- A'Chang. - Yes.

- Go get the cook. - Yes.

"The cook"?

Here's what you don't know.

This cook has a knife.

That knife has an incredible background.

They say that knife existed long before the Jiang Family.

Legend says that knife was made with a meteorite from Heaven.

Its blade is incredibly sharp.

I also heard they used this knife to kill

the Cowboy and the Weaver Girl's cow in Heaven.

Madam Jiang, you wanted to see me?

What do you need to kill?

Shall I start with the man or the woman?

Stop the nonsense.

I want you to chop off that lock for them.

You sure know how to have fun.

Sit tight.

Be careful, Master Shui.

Don't move. I'll help you.

Stay away from me.

Why are you angry at me?

We were only locked together due to that shop owner.

Stop right there. Don't mention that ever again.

Fine, I won't mention it then.

Are your eyes bothering you again?

Yes.

I'll apply some glacial eye drops for you.

- Come on, let me... - I'll do it myself.

- You can't see. - Sit down.

- No, I don't need it. - Come on. Come here.

I'm telling you, this is really expensive.

What's wrong?

I think your eyes really remind me of someone.

Whom?

A stranger, you don't know him.

"A stranger"?

Would a stranger have eyes as beautiful as mine?

Don't flatter yourself.

Go away.

Do you want more?

- Yes. - Okay.

Jiang Bai Yu.

- Yes? - Well, I can use the eye drops all by myself.

Thank you.

Brother Shui, don't be a stranger.

We're family.

You've achieved great results.

Seems... seems you've developed quite a discerning eye.

Instructor Hou, although we achieved good results during our mission to defeat counterfeits,

about Madam Zhou from the Jade Parlor,

though she sold the eclipta prostrata,

the case seemed to involve other people.

Yes.

The counterfeit commodity is just an opening.

Would it lead to more profit chains?

Lady Shui isn't the first victim,

nor will she be the last.

We must get to the bottom of this and find the truth.

I believe that's the true meaning of this lesson.

Instructor Hou, you won't stop us this time, right?

I already told you. We need evidence to back up any theory.

Don't jump to conclusions without proof.

- But... - But without proof, we can't close the case.

Seeking truth is the essential quality of a qualified inspector.

That's why I want to say,

go conduct your investigations as it appears.

If you meet danger, I'll always be here for you.

Class dismissed.

Wait a minute.

Didn't I just arrive?

Well, let's start class.

Lady Qi, there's a letter for you.

Thank you.

[The daughter must pay her father's debt of 1,000 taels.]

[See you at Mingwa Alley.]

Lady Qi.

- Junior Young Master. - Why are you still here?

Let's go.

[The daughter must pay her father's debt of 1,000 taels. See you at Mingwa Alley.]

Lady Qi.

What do you want?

You're a maid of the Jiang Family. You're an important person.

I wrote so many letters, but I didn't manage to meet you.

I have no choice.

My brothers and I have to come see you in person.

Qi Dong Qiang is Qi Dong Qiang.

His affairs have nothing to do with me.

I'm in the usury loan business so many years.

I've seen this happen many times!

It's all right, Young Lady.

If you're not willing to pay your father's debt,

maybe we should kill him.

I'm sure you don't want to see that.

How about this?

I'll give you a few more days.

By then, we'll meet back here.

If you're still unable to pay,

I'm afraid you'll never see

your drunken father ever again.

Let's go.

Let's go.

I have to find a way to help Lady Qi.

[Lantern Boudoir]

F-F-For Chong'an's exclusive,

m-m-miraculous skin care products,

please come to Yun Cheng!

Pretty as Flower Cream, only for 3 taels.

Young Lady, if you use Pretty as Flower Cream,

you'll have tender baby-smooth skin.

Are you blind?

If you use Pretty as Flower Cream,

a good husband will come running.

Honey!

Ladies, if you use this face cream,

your skin will be pliable, smooth, and moisturized.

Why would a man sell beauty products? It must be fake.

Just get used to it.

Luckily, Lady Zhe Xhi forgave me [Jiang Mansion]

and let me do business in Lantern Boudoir.

But why was I such a disappointment?

I didn't sell one jar.

When can I save enough money to help Lady Qi?

Yun Cheng, I'm coming in.

Please come in.

Lady Qi.

I heard you want to see me.

It's Pretty as Flower Cream.

I was just about to bring it to you.

Many counterfeit products are in the market lately.

Even Lady Shui fell victim to it.

Therefore, I developed a skin care product just for you.

Don't worry. The quality is definitely good.

Thank you very much.

Lady Qi, just think of it as

my apology for the Truth Pill last time.

Forget it. I have no time to bother about that.

If you didn't make me angry last time,

I wouldn't have seen such beautiful fireworks.

Therefore, just take it.

Lady Qi, I... You're the inspiration for the Pretty as Flower Cream.

You're the reason it exists.

Therefore, I cannot accept your money.

[Yun Cheng Trademark]

Lady Qi, I have something else to do. You should go now.

Sure.

I cannot give up for Lady Qi's sake.

[Lantern Boudoir]

Young Lady, may I sit here?

Waiter, one pot of liquor, please.

Young Lady, are you trying to drink your sorrows away?

How do you know?

Because just like you, I'm frustrated and depressed.

Come on, Young Lady, let's have a drink together.

If your love for someone is unrequited, why do you seem full of vigor?

You even exude tenderness and love in your eyes as you drink without sorrow?

Because of this.

What's this?

This is the Pretty as Flower Cream I invented it exclusively.

It's tailor-made for the woman I love.

I'm happy after she uses the Pretty as Flower Cream.

After I use it, she gives me a second look, which makes me happy.

Young Lady, if you're interested,

I will suffer a loss and let you have it for 1 tael.

Just to make the person you love

look at you again in the crowd.

Forget it.

No man in Chong'an knows how to make things like that.

Even the owner of Jade Parlor hasn't invented something like that.

Besides, you're selling it at such a low price.

I'm afraid it's an inferior product.

That's not true, Young Lady. I already...

Who said men can't make beauty products?

I'm using his beauty products,

and I see significant changes.

It's fine if you don't believe me. The cost almost matches the price.

He can barely make any money. I'll take them all.

I'll buy it.

You have such nice skin. You're living proof of its effects.

I want to be as confident as her.

I'll buy it, too! I'll buy it, too!

I wanted to try it yesterday.

I want to try it, too.

- Give me one. - I want to try it, too.

- I'll take one! - I'll take one.

- Give me one. - I want one, too.

- There's one for everyone. - Do you still have more?

- It smells so good. - Yes, it does.

What do you think?

It's true.

Cuihe, you have such fair skin.

You must keep using this Empress Lip Balm.

Anything Yun Cheng recommends is a good product.

Yu Fu, you should follow my method to apply eye cream.

Use our ring finger, which is also our beauty finger,

and press gently.

That way, the eye cream absorbs into your skin.

When will it be our turn?

We've been waiting a long time.

Be patient, Ladies.

I'll serve you one at a time.

Listen, everyone,

as long as you buy a product from me,

I will provide you with free beauty services.

Your satisfaction is guaranteed!

[Lantern Boudoir]

I'm almost done. I'll be very quick.

I have enough for everyone.

- I'm going as fast as I can. - I didn't expect Yun Cheng is so popular.

That's right.

Next, let's invite one of the lucky audience onstage.

I'll design unique makeup just for her.

Let's invite this beautiful lady who's waving her delicate hand.

Let's give her a round of applause.

Go on now.

Fang Yun Cheng, are you using me as a model again?

Don't be nervous. Please take a seat.

Look, everyone.

If you have snow-white skin, you should keep your foundation light.

If you have a natural glow, don't put too much blush.

Next, I'll do a demonstration for you.

How beautiful.

She looks like a goddess!

Please take a look.

That's beautiful.

There's enough for all.

I remember you all.

Lady Qi, you're so beautiful.

Lady Shui, Lady Ba Xi is here to see you.

Ba Xi.

Sister, Sister.

How do you feel? Are your eyes getting better?

Yes, my eyes are much better.

- Please get well soon. - Yes.

- What's wrong with your lower back? Does it hurt? - I just...

Last night, she...

You've never been here before. Take a look around.

- Sure. - Ba Xi, I'll explain it to you.

Come on, let me show you.

My room is personally designed

by the artisan who solely works for the royal family.

Everything is placed there for a reason.

It can bring good luck to me.

Am I right?

- It's not bad. - It's true!

They do look nice.

But I've never seen these things before.

Young Master, what's this?

These are called "crash pads."

Wu Xia has bad eyesight.

I fear she may bump into things.

No more bumping into the wall, right?

What about this? What's this?

This is called a Four-Wheeler.

When Wu Xia feels blue, I can take her out for fresh air.

Young Master Jiang,

you're giving Wu Xia special treatment.

Look at that!

Ba Xi understands me.

You two are so childish.

Ba Xi, what is it you came to give me?

Wait.

This amazing little thing is called Jade Face Roller.

It's pawned to me by an out-of-town customer.

They say you can roll it on any part of your body.

It can accelerate skin growth,

heal wounds, make things bigger or smaller, and make you more beautiful.

Try it.

Sister, are you two still watching Thousand Horses Hall?

- Yes. - If you ask me,

instead of making so much effort to keep an eye on Thousand Horses Hall, take my advice.

I'll get two of my henchmen to drug him.

He'll confess after he takes the drug.

You're getting off track again.

Show her around now.

I'll use the outhouse.

I'll go with you.

I don't need it. I already know my way around.

Ba Xi, I don't think this is useful.

Were you scammed?

- No. - What was the drug you just mentioned?

It's the Truth Pill.

You'll tell the truth as soon as you take it.

Fang Yun Cheng bought it before.

Wu Xia is so stubborn. She just won't believe me.

I had no choice but to make her try it.

- Will you drug Wu Xia? - No.

Why would I dare to drug her?

I was talking about that Shen...

Shen? Shen what?

It's all right. Forget what I said.

Young Master, come have fun at my hall later.

Was Ba Xi the one who drugged me that day?
