You know my duties keep me busy,

so you wouldn't let me visit earlier. so you wouldn't let me visit earlier.

But today,

I've brought my wife

to pay respects to you.

From now on, household matters

can be managed by her.

I know you're busy.

You are excused You are excused

from all these formalities.

Go on with your business.

I shall have a chat with Lady Qiao.

Yes.

I heard you offered Panyi as dowry

and helped Zhonglin restore the Yongning Canal.

Yes.

Now that I've married the Lord,

the Qiao and Wei families are one. the Qiao and Wei families are one.

I will give my utmost

to aid him in restoring the canal.

Yongning Canal has been cut off for 14 years.

How long it will stay flowing this time?

As long as we are of one mind, As long as we are of one mind,

we'll keep it last for generations.

I've heard your grandfather was skilled in divination.

What do you

think about this?

Grandfather was skilled in divination, Grandfather was skilled in divination,

divining for the people,

and casting lots for peace.

Yet at times, following fate alone

would go against his true heart.

Before Grandfather passed away,

he was trapped in guilt and regret. he was trapped in guilt and regret.

Perhaps,

this is the price for peering into Heaven's will.

Anyway.

Now that you're part of our family, Now that you're part of our family,

these old stories

should be left in the past.

There aren't many strict rules here. There aren't many strict rules here.

You don't need to greet me every day.

If you wish to show respect,

transcribe scriptures for me.

Alright.

(Boya)

It has been over a month

since we parted at Panyi.

I miss you and hope you are well.

I send this letter to express my concern. I send this letter to express my concern.

Now you and Bi Zhi are far from home

and with no one to lean on,

if you are in need,

write to me.

I will do my best I will do my best

to help you out.

Also,

regarding the matter we discussed

before parting in Panyi,

how is it going?

If there are any difficulties, If there are any difficulties,

I will do all I can to assist.

It concerns the lifeblood of Yanzhou

and must be pursued with all effort.

Lord of Wei treats me well.

No worries.

What did Mrs. Wei say? What did Mrs. Wei say?

Manman said

she hopes we live well

and find peace in Boya

to live a good life. to live a good life.

It's getting late.

Go to sleep.

It's cold outside.

Yeah.

I'll set up a braizer in a bit.

What are you doing out here? What are you doing out here?

It's raining, why did you come out?

Hurry and come inside.

Why aren't you asleep? What brings you out?

I saw it started raining.

- So… - Stay right here.

These can't get wet. These can't get wet.

Let me help.

No, no need.

Don't get soaked.

I got this.

Didn't I tell you to rest inside?

Why did you come out? Why did you come out?

The rain's pouring out here.

It's raining so hard.

I was worried you'd get cold.

The neighbors all say The neighbors all say

we're like a married couple.

Such strength.

He's really strong. He's really strong.

Master Wang,

can it be made can it be made

into an instrument?

What kind of instrument?

About this tall,

and then,

it should be this big, just like this.

You want to make a konghou?

Yes, a konghou.

Great wood.

I'll start tomorrow.

Alright.

My Lady.

Greetings, Mother. Greetings, Mother.

Why are you late

in greeting today?

I was accompanying my husband to greet Grandmother, I was accompanying my husband to greet Grandmother,

hence the delay.

Do you mean

you only pay respect to Grandmother

and neglect Lady Zhu?

It was my fault. It was my fault.

As long as you admit your mistake.

Lady Zhu is forgiving

and will not make things hard for you.

But this morning,

she waited for you she waited for you

in vain.

So now,

she still hasn't eaten.

Can you go to the kitchen

and make some soup? and make some soup?

What?

Are you unwilling?

I wouldn't dare.

Preparing soup for my mother-in-law Preparing soup for my mother-in-law

is my duty.

But, I don't think

I can do it today.

Grandmother

instructed me to transcribe The Infinite Life Sutra.

The scriptures are lengthy.

Even working day and night,

I may not finish.

Are you using my mother-in-law

to pressure me now?

I would never dare. I would never dare.

I simply thought,

what Grandmother wishes

must also be your wishes.

So I wouldn't dare take it lightly.

Besides, transcribing scriptures Besides, transcribing scriptures

requires a vegetarian diet.

The kitchen

is full of meat and fish.

Entering now might not be proper.

I fear it could be unclean.

How about this?

After I finish transcribing, After I finish transcribing,

I'll personally serve you.

If there's nothing else,

I will

take my leave. take my leave.

And you said she wouldn't dare? And you said she wouldn't dare?

She dares plenty.

Go tell Zhonglin to come over for dinner.

I want to ask him myself.

Does he want that wife,

or his mother?

Yes. Yes.

(Boya) Hurry up.

Quickly now.

Go.

Stop right there.

Wang,

you're from Xuejun. you're from Xuejun.

Do you think moving to Boya means

no military service?

Come with us.

Sir, please have mercy.

I'm over 60.

I can't march or fight anymore.

If I tell you to enlist, you do it. If I tell you to enlist, you do it.

Don't argue.

Looking for trouble?

Take him! Take him!

Yes, sir.

You'll see.

I'll be back.

Mark my words.

Sir.

Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir.

Everyone, please get up.

Please.

Thank you, sir.

Everyone,

just call me Bi Zhi.

Bi Zhi, Bi Zhi,

Xue Tai craves battle

and keeps conscripting.

Now all the able men are gone,

even the old and young get taken now. even the old and young get taken now.

If they dare come again,

I'll drive them away once more.

Bi Zhi,

you are righteous.

We all respect you.

Now is the time for you to step up

and lead us to a way out. and lead us to a way out.

- That's right. - Indeed.

Yes. We must survive.

Yes.

But I just married my wife,

I only wish I only wish

to live in peace with her.

Just now you drove the officer away.

Xue Tai will surely retaliate.

When that happens,

how will

your wife live in peace? your wife live in peace?

That's right.

Exactly.

But I only know

how to raise horses.

As for anything else, As for anything else,

I'm clueless.

I've read a few books

and I know a just cause is essential to rally people.

Right now,

we need a title we need a title

to rally behind.

Then how about

Commander of Boya Forces?

Perfect title.

I'll serve as your chief advisor

and help plan our strategies.

We miners We miners

are strong.

We're willing to follow you.

Bi Zhi, let's run away. Bi Zhi, let's run away.

Back in Kangjun, Manman often spoke

of two fierce generals.

One is Li Su.

The other is Xue Tai.

He's known for being ruthless. He's known for being ruthless.

Strong troops, fierce army.

We've now crossed him.

Boya is no longer safe.

But where could we possibly escape to?

Everywhere is in chaos. Everywhere is in chaos.

I must become stronger myself.

If I seize control of Boya,

only then can I protect you.

You've kept me safe all this time.

I've been truly happy.

This is nothing.

What I wish to give you

is far more than just this.

I don't want you wandering homeless,

living as a village woman in the wilds.

As long as I'm with you,

none of that matters to me at all.

Fan,

it matters to me. it matters to me.

The reason

I want to become master of Boya

is more than just that.

Now that Xue Tai is conscripting men,

I suppose, I suppose,

he means to put pressure on Panyi.

Wei will surely be troubled by this.

If

I manage to intercept Xue Tai at Boya,

it would fulfill the promise I made to Mrs. Wei

that day in Panyi forest:

To serve Mrs. Wei faithfully.

General.

General. General.

(Wei Mansion) Mother, you asked me to come.

Anything I should know?

I made you a new pair of shoes. I made you a new pair of shoes.

Your older brother, Bogong,

was the same.

Every time he came home,

he would always wear the shoes I made.

Go on, try them on.

Zhonglin,

the Qiao Family and our Wei Family the Qiao Family and our Wei Family

have deep enmity.

So when Lady Qiao entered our household,

I felt instant dislike.

But Chuyu kept telling me

to treat her kindly.

Otherwise,

it'd put you in a difficult position

between us.

All these years,

you've been tied up with work.

I've had no one

by my side.

But Chuyu's brought me comfort.

Do you know

why I want you to take Chuyu in?

If she marries you, If she marries you,

she can stay close to me.

No matter what,

we know Chuyu well.

She would never harm you.

Right?

I understand I understand

what you mean, Mother.

But as for this matter,

I need some time to think.

What are you reading?

The Infinite Life Sutra for Grandmother.

This box here.

Don't touch it again.

Even if you hadn't said it, I wouldn't.

I was just careless earlier. I was just careless earlier.

Are these new shoes?

Mother made them herself.

Since you have new shoes on, Since you have new shoes on,

why not try the pair I made?

They fit quite well.

Then I'll just

take Mother's pair back for now.

I'll try to improve my skills. I'll try to improve my skills.

Alright.

You really are thoughtful.

As your wife, I should be. As your wife, I should be.

Then why did you

make excuses and leave,

using sutra copying as an excuse

when Mother asked you

to make some soup today?

Sutra copying

was indeed an excuse.

But not making soup

wasn't my real intention.

What do you mean?

Today, Ms. Jiang asked me to make soup.

But back home, I was too lazy

to cook.

I had no idea where to begin.

No one was there to guide me either.

Even if I dared to cook,

I'm afraid no one would taste it.

Why didn't you just say so?

I knew Mother despised me. I knew Mother despised me.

Back then outside the city,

she didn't allow me in for three days.

Later, she even sent people to drive me away.

If I had told the truth now,

she probably would have thought

I was just making excuses,

and disliked me even more.

You remember it clearly. You remember it clearly.

Three days in the wind and rain.

I'll never forget it.

Since you get her attitude,

she wants me to do something.

I'll leave it to you to handle.

Whatever you need, just say it.

Mother

wants me to take Zheng Shu as a concubine.

So you want me to refuse on your behalf?

No.

I need you to arrange it.

Does the Lord want to take Zheng Shu? Does the Lord want to take Zheng Shu?

Didn't he once say,

out of respect for your honor,

he'd never take a concubine?

Why changed now?

I was wrong.

We were never an ordinary couple. We were never an ordinary couple.

How could he care for me?

Refusing the concubine proposal

was just to prevent

his uncles from making a fuss.

He used me as a shield. He used me as a shield.

How ridiculous.

Mrs. Wei,

should we still redo these shoes?

Yes.

Why not?

I can't blame anyone else. I can't blame anyone else.

I just didn't think far enough.

Is he taking Zheng Shu as a concubine?

Mother likes Zheng Shu,

so she wants her to be a concubine.

Though I don't have her favor,

I can't let her push me around.

Since she wants to control me,

then I must find someone then I must find someone

who can keep her in check.

Lady Xu,

Mrs. Wei is here. Mrs. Wei is here.

Grandmother.

I told you

not to greet me daily.

You are kind and excused me,

but, but,

my heart is full of respect.

Today I came

because I have a question for you.

Go ahead.

I've been copying the Sutra,

but forgot to ask which script you prefer.

Seal script is graceful.

Clerical script feels solid. Clerical script feels solid.

Cursive script is lively.

Regular script is elegant.

I dare not decide on my own,

so I wrote about 100 characters of each

for Grandmother to choose.

Then use regular script. Then use regular script.

There's one more thing.

Please choose another style Please choose another style

for the formal recognition

of Zheng Shu as his concubine.

I'm inexperienced,

and dare not decide on my own.

I came to consult you, I came to consult you,

so I wouldn't embarrass my husband.

You came to air your grievances,

right?

I wouldn't dare.

If you have something to say, just say it.

Earlier, my husband

rejected his uncles' proposal

to take a concubine for my sake.

If he wishes to now,

he needs a better reason he needs a better reason

so his uncles don't grow resentful.

I understand.

You don't need

to handle this anymore.

Mother,

Chuyu is grateful Chuyu is grateful

and wants to repay you.

If you grant her to Zhonglin,

it would strengthen family ties.

I simply want to find someone

Zhonglin likes. Zhonglin likes.

But who likes her?

You?

Is this for Zhonglin,

or for yourself?

Last time,

we talked about this,

and I did not agree.

Yes. Lady Xu

had prepared Zheng Shu's dowry.

She added more because of her hard work. She added more because of her hard work.

That's enough

for the Zheng family to find her

a good match elsewhere.

But Zhonglin is always busy with official duties,

and often away at war, and often away at war,

he's already delayed Zheng Shu's future.

That Lady Qiao. If it weren't for her…

Then it's settled.

Leave it for now.

My Lady,

here's the list of gifts. here's the list of gifts.

Please take a look.

Yes.

You're back.

About taking a concubine,

you went behind my back

and asked for Grandmother's support. and asked for Grandmother's support.

It was only right

for Grandmother to know.

As for what decision she makes,

it's not something I can control.

Good.

Truly, you can't change this matter.

It was decided

by Grandmother and me.

Not you.

Don't jump to conclusions.

Yes.

I dare not interfere.

What?

Feeling upset?

I'm not.

Whatever you think

is what I think.

Then it's settled.

Go ahead. I'll head to the office.

No need.

Since you've returned, Since you've returned,

I shouldn't occupy your study.

Please have a seat.

You didn't move anything here, did you?

Today, I was only copying the sutra

in here for Grandmother. in here for Grandmother.

If you're uneasy,

I'll move to the bedroom tomorrow.

Just asking, nothing more.

I wasn't accusing you.

From now on,

you've the access to the study.

Since you trust me, Since you trust me,

I won't let you down.

Why are you here?

Aunt was worried about you.

She asked me

to bring you some soup. to bring you some soup.

The weather is turning cold.

Don't wander around.

I understand

your concern.

I mean, us being alone like this

would harm your good name.

Aunt already intends

to marry me to you.

If not for Lady Qiao…

This has nothing to do with her.

It was Grandmother's decision.

Shao,

you've just been swayed by her.

I'm not hungry. Take it away.

Shao.

Leave. Go now. Leave. Go now.

Shao.

Without my permission,

you're not to enter.

Understood.

(Boya)

(Xue)

(Xue Tai, General of Bianzhou)

General.

The one with green eyes is Bi Zhi. The one with green eyes is Bi Zhi.

He was born with great strength,

and can train horses.

A mere hundred men.

They're no real threat.

Take that. Take that.

Bi Zhi can even hold his own against the General.

Impressive.

Hyah.

Xue Tai is backed by Bianzhou. Their strength is vast.

How can Boya resist such power?

For now,

we must ask Kangjun for help. we must ask Kangjun for help.

(May Father put aside the past and help my husband repel the invaders.)

She eloped with a stableman,

abandoning her family and clan. abandoning her family and clan.

Now she has the nerve to write for aid.

My Lord,

Bianzhou has long coveted Boya. Bianzhou has long coveted Boya.

If we send troops now,

we may offend Bianzhou.

Besides, Boya is close to Panyi.

I'm afraid even Lord of Wei I'm afraid even Lord of Wei

might misunderstand.

Yue,

Fan is a daughter of the Qiao Family.

We can't just sit by and do nothing,

turning our backs on blood ties. turning our backs on blood ties.

- Indeed. - That's right.

You're the Governor of Yanzhou,

so the decision is yours. so the decision is yours.

You know Uncle is the Governor,

yet you meddle in everything.

What are your intentions?

Are you trying to sway Uncle

into such a heartless act? into such a heartless act?

Ci,

mind your manners.

Ci,

your grandfather once forsook an ally

to protect Yanzhou. to protect Yanzhou.

Great deeds

require sacrifice of sentiment.

You're still young.

Some things

take time to understand. take time to understand.

Offending Bianzhou is minor,

what matters is Wei.

Boya borders Panyi,

Wei Shao has thousands of elite soldiers in Panyi.

If we send troops to Boya now,

what will Wei Shao think?

My Lord, you're right.

The decision is made. The decision is made.

Yanzhou can send for Fan,

but sending troops

is out of the question.

My Lady,

Lord asks you to the study, Lord asks you to the study,

he says it's urgent.

Why did he return so early today? Why did he return so early today?

If I hadn't come back early,

I would've discovered this.

What do you mean by that?

You opened this box, didn't you?

(General of Bianzhou)

Don't touch this box.

You made the scratches, right?

It wasn't me.

I just picked it up and put it back.

I don't know who scratched it like this.

Who else could it be but you?

Who else can enter this room?

Do you believe Do you believe

there's some military intel in there?

I came here

only to return The Infinite Life Sutra.

And I was afraid you'd suspect me,

so I reported to you in advance. so I reported to you in advance.

If I truly meant to break into it,

or spy on military intel,

why would I

tell you about my actions?

You told me

to clear yourself of suspicion.

But I had no idea there was military intel in the box. But I had no idea there was military intel in the box.

True,

I was curious about the box

and the military intel within.

But I never opened it.

Though we are married,

I never meant to use that

- to… - Quiet.

Still defending yourself?

I did not.

Everyone in the Qiao Family

is untrustworthy.

You lie as breathing.

It runs in your bloodline.

Listen up. Listen up.

Our marriage can't

erase the grudge between Qiao and Wei.

From now on,

if you touch my things again, if you touch my things again,

you can go back to Kangjun.

Understand?

Mrs. Wei.

Are you alright?

Mrs. Wei,

he just left in a rage.

What happened?

Your hand is ice cold. Your hand is ice cold.

Just a misunderstanding.

He insists I touched his box.

Help me investigate

who else has been in the study.

Don't worry, My Lady.

We'll find out for you.

They all said

they didn't hear, see,

or know.

Funny how they heard, saw, Funny how they heard, saw,

and knew everything when they were

laughing at us.

Clearly, they're all in it together,

guarding against us.

Now we're restrained at every turn. Now we're restrained at every turn.

We need to place

our own people.

Mrs. Wei,

this matter could turn serious.

Perhaps we should inform Lady Xu

and let her decide. and let her decide.

Grandmother

is still of the Wei family.

If I rely on her for everything,

the day she tires of me, the day she tires of me,

I'll be left to be cut down by others.

People say I am gentle as water,

thinking a dam can hold me back, thinking a dam can hold me back,

but there's one thing they forget.

Only when water flows smoothly is it calm.

If wind blocks or earth hinders it, If wind blocks or earth hinders it,

all it does is stir up high waves.

My Lady,

why don't we

return to Yanzhou?

I'll start packing now.

Aren't we swallowing injustice here? Aren't we swallowing injustice here?

Ever since we came to Yujun,

we've been suppressed

and humiliated.

At least in Xindu and Panyi,

we could still find a way out we could still find a way out

when things got tough.

The inner residence is like a battlefield.

Even crueler than war.

You don't even need a blade to kill.

Since it's a battlefield, Since it's a battlefield,

then we must capture the leader first.

Dealing with Lady Zhu

and Zheng Shu

won't help us.

The one holding the blade is still Wei Shao.

If this matter isn't settled,

I'll always be at his mercy.

I may be in a weak position,

but I won't leave my fate to chance. but I won't leave my fate to chance.

Zhen Zhi has been sent to Xindu to repair the levees,

and Yang Feng is stationed at Panyi

to build sluice gates.

Once both sides finish, Once both sides finish,

the Yongning Canal can flow again.

Is the construction going smoothly?

They've done it once before

as they were involved in the project when they were young, as they were involved in the project when they were young,

so it's not difficult.

But Zhen Zhi

still hasn't changed.

Even if something's wrong,

he'd rather write to me for help he'd rather write to me for help

than ask Yang Feng.

You wouldn't believe

how badly they fought in their youth.

The late Lord of Wei and Lord Qiao…

Qiao Gui got dragged into it.

My Lord, My Lord,

is something troubling you?

Shall we discuss this later?

No need.

What were you saying?

My Lord.

Why are you here? Why are you here?

To prove my innocence.

You must not touch the box.

I just need a moment

to prove my innocence.

I said you cannot touch it.

If I can't touch it,

how can I prove my innocence? how can I prove my innocence?

Because I'm from the Qiao clan,

you all suspect and condemn me.

Will I never redeem myself?

Isn't the Qiao Family wrong?

Is it me who's wrong Is it me who's wrong

or the whole Qiao family?

I thought after marrying you,

you'd treat me with sincerity.

I didn't expect you to guard against me at every turn. I didn't expect you to guard against me at every turn.

Because I'm from the Qiao clan,

you see me as your eternal enemy.

Yet my marriage to you

was never to steal intel.

That's why I must prove my innocence today. That's why I must prove my innocence today.

The blocks on the nine-square lock represent numbers.

Whether horizontally, vertically, or diagonally,

they all add up to 15,

with five in the center,

forming eight different magic squares. forming eight different magic squares.

It's not difficult.

Anyone trained in calculation can unlock it.

If I had stolen the intel

and taken the token inside,

you could see me as a spy,

and punish me as you wish.

But if you're merciful, But if you're merciful,

still remembers our bond,

yet hesitates with doubt,

then wouldn't that play right into your enemy's trap?

Today, I'm your wife,

yet you don't trust me,

and suspect I stole military intel.

What about when we share a bed?

Won't you fear I'll strike you in your sleep, Won't you fear I'll strike you in your sleep,

dagger in hand?

I came here to prove myself I came here to prove myself

so such a day

never comes.

I could have unlocked the box,

but I didn't.

Inside is something

precious to you. precious to you.

To scar it with a knife

is to scar your heart.

I will never do that.

After all, I know how to unlock it.

Smooth talk.

When you stormed out just now,

I reflected on myself.

I did touch the box,

whether I unlocked it or not,

it was ignoring your warning.

I was wrong, and I accept punishment.

I vow never to repeat this. I vow never to repeat this.

If one day,

you forget how to open it,

you may come to me anytime.

What's wrong with you?

What?

Mrs. Wei speaks with reason.

It's too convincing.

No wonder back in Xindu and Panyi,

she could rally the people well.

It's just family matters.

That's it.

But I once said she had the grace of water.

Was that wrong?

It was spot on.

She is so sharp and bold,

hardly gentle like water.

You don't get it.

An arrow flies farther when drawn harder.

And water, when stirred, leads to drought.

No wonder he calls her fierce. No wonder he calls her fierce.

All of you, leave now.

Let's go.

Child,

as a son of the Wei family,

you were born to fight on the battlefield. you were born to fight on the battlefield.

You must be like your brother.

In valor and strategy,

neither your father nor I

can compare to him.

You're a man. You're a man.

Listen to me.

From now on, stand on your own.

♪I chase through mazes dark and bleak♪

♪The world's rights and wrongs, wins and losses♪ ♪The world's rights and wrongs, wins and losses♪

♪Who's to weigh their worth♪

♪Only love♪

♪Gives me a sky as wide as the sea♪ ♪Gives me a sky as wide as the sea♪

Inside is something

precious to you.

To scar it with a knife

is to scar your heart.

Who could it be?

♪The moonlight is as silent as the deep sea♪

♪From afar♪

♪It once lit up dreams with a breath♪ ♪It once lit up dreams with a breath♪

♪But vanished with a sigh♪

♪Brushing past my fingertips♪ ♪Brushing past my fingertips♪

♪My heartstrings were stirred quietly♪

♪As if we once met before♪

♪Holding back a love so deep♪ ♪Holding back a love so deep♪

♪Love asks for nothing in the end♪

♪Leaving only obsessions♪ ♪Leaving only obsessions♪

♪I've wandered in the world♪

♪Yet cannot have it all♪

♪We meet and part in the fires of war♪

♪Embracing, leaving tender marks of love♪

♪With one breathtaking glance♪ ♪With one breathtaking glance♪

♪How could I ever forget♪

♪I would cross mountains and seas♪

♪To spend time with you♪ ♪To spend time with you♪

♪When we grow old♪

♪Nothing will change♪

♪The misty rains never cease♪

♪Falling gently on your brow♪ ♪Falling gently on your brow♪

♪Lingering in my heart♪

♪I would sever fate's ties♪

♪To protect your smiling eyes♪

♪Even if behind me lies a storm♪ ♪Even if behind me lies a storm♪

♪No matter the trials♪

♪I carry this longing for the journey♪

♪This life♪

♪Will not be in vain♪

♪I would cross mountains and seas♪ ♪I would cross mountains and seas♪

♪To spend time with you♪

♪When we grow old♪

♪Nothing will change♪

♪The misty rains never cease♪

♪Falling gently on your brow♪ ♪Falling gently on your brow♪

♪Lingering in my heart♪

♪I would sever fate's ties♪

♪To protect your smiling eyes♪ ♪To protect your smiling eyes♪

♪Even if behind me lies a storm♪

♪No matter the trials♪

♪I carry this longing for the journey♪

♪This life♪ ♪This life♪

♪Will not be in vain♪
