Pears as sweet as honey!

Zi Shi Street of Qinghe county, Shantong Province

During the reign of Sung Dynasty's Emperor Huizong

This was where it all began

This story has been told for generations...

about a man and his love affairs

who did this?

I'm sorry

oh, it's alright...

I'm so sorry!

Hope you aren't hurt!

I'm fine...

The sudden wind, you know

Please forgive me

It's not your fault

Don't worry...

Please just leave it there

You... you

who do you think I am?

Oh it's you! Mr. Ximen Qing

Mrs. Wang

what happened? Did you get hit?

I'm fine...

How about a cup of tea?

No thanks, some other time...

Pears as sweet as honey!

Shut up, brat!

What are you yelling about?

Not like you; Ain't what you appear

The pimp who runs a teahouse

You old hag

what are you talking about?

You... better watch out!

You be careful

You little brat, stop running

Stand still, you brat

You little piece of shit

what?

Mr. Ximen, how about a pear?

Who's that woman over there?

That one?

The fair-skinned one over there

with dark black hair and the rosy lips

The nice shaped brow, and almond-eyed

And with such dainty feet

Right, that's her. Who's she?

You're asking me?

Her, huh?

I have no idea

Little urchin

You little rascal

If you don't tell me...

Then don't even think about

me paying my bills this month

Stop it

come on, tell me who she is

Her?

Don't you know her?

Do you remember the tiger of Jingyang Ridge?

What's that got to do with her?

Of course there is

The one who slayed the tiger is connected to her

You mean Wu Song, the hero who killed the tiger?

That's right

Wu Song, the second son of the family

She's Wu Song's wife?

I mean, his sister-in-law

Wu Song's elder brother who sells cakes

The wife of Wu Dalong?

That's right

Wu Dalong?

Wu Dalong the dwarf

He's got a nickname

old scraggy bark

Because he is...

dark-skinned, ugly, dirty

The dark rough-skinned, ugly, filthy

Wu Dalong the dwarf

He's got a nickname

old scraggy bark

Because he is

dark-skinned, ugly, dirty

dark-skinned, ugly, dirty

Wu Dalong the dwarf

He's got a nickname

old scraggy bark

Because he is

dark-skinned, ugly, dirty

The dark rough-skinned, ugly, filthy

C'mon, beat it

Those little rug rats!

Little asses with no manners!

Old scraggy bark!

Never mind, let them go

Wu Dalong

You get bullied all the time

oh, forget it...

Sweet pancakes...

Sweet pancakes

come on

Hurry

Fine... get out

Get out of here! All of you!

Yes sir

A broth bowl doesn't cost that much

well, it's for something else

what are you talking about?

Consider it as Matchmaking fee

You must be kidding

If your wife knows...

Then I'll be in difficult spot

Don't worry about her

Though I've got several concubines

But I'm not very happy with them

Is that so?

There's one though

She's quite good

Except...

She's a bit old

But she's a real woman

I'm sure she'll be liked

The one I'm talking about

was born in the year of...

As per Chinese horoscope, it's year of Pig

After the new year...

She'll turn 93

Don't be funny, stop teasing me!

No, but there really is one...

who looks a bit alike

the one next door

By the way...

where are the people next door?

You mean Wu Dalong?

I hear his pancakes are selling quite well

Thought I'd buy some too

No wonder you've been around a lot lately

You could meet him in morning or evening

what about his wife?

Her mom's sick

She's helping her dad these days

How unfortunate!

Exactly

It isn't everyday that one get hits by a bamboo!

Jinlian

Mrs. Wang

How's your mom?

She's fine, thanks

Don't worry

So?

Did you mean that for real?

What?

C'mon, don't pretend

Us wives have a sixth sense

I know what you're thinking

you're saying...

I owe you

Mrs. Wang

Your husband isn't here?

He'll be home soon

Do you have a calendar at home?

I want to pick a date for sewing

I'm getting old, you know

I'm afraid just in case...

something might happen

There's a rich man who is...

quite a regular patron at my place

He has sent me a coffin...

which is in the nunnery

Also some materials for the burial dress

I am urgently in need of a seamstress

You wanna have your burial dress made?

Aren't we neighbours?

If you don't mind my poor needlework

I can do it for you

That's be wonderful

Everyone knows your needlework is excellent

I didn't dare to ask you first

Because you might not agree

Don't worry, I'll get my calendar

No need, I'm lucky that you've consented

There's no need to lookup the calendar

How about tomorrow?

Tomorrow?

I'll ask my husband when he's back

whatever for?

He isn't the boss

Don't worry about him

You're in charge of the family

All the neighbors know that

well

If he blames you

I'll take care of it

I'll wait for you here

Have a sip of this tea

It's good

Thank you

Your needlework is good

Your husband is lucky indeed

to have married you

A good seamstress

A good cook

A pretty woman

Such small and dainty feet

A very attractive woman, I must say

Mrs. Wang

How's it going?

Is your husband any good?

Excuse me?

I mean, is he good in bed?

Not that I mean to pry, you know

He's a decent man

Also can't say that he's weak or incompetent

But is he certainly a weak & incapable?

Really?

You are so young, poor girl!

Mrs. Wang, I didn't quite get you

I know what it's like

I've been a widow since I was in my 20s

It isn't easy to be a widow

But in your case, it's worse

As for me

Let me tell you a secret

I couldn't stand widowhood

After one year of my husband's death

I was sleeping with the butcher

You mightn't know that chap

But he's good in bed

Auntie Wang, are you home?

Auntie Wang

I was wondering who it could be?

Oh it's you!

Come in and have some tea

Sure

come on... in here

what are you doing?

Oh, you've a guest! I'll come back later

Relax, it's alright

He's a nice guy

Auntie Wang

This lady is...

Let me introduce...

He's the one who gave me coffin and the material

Mr. Ximen Qing; A celebrity in his own right

one of the wealthiest man

He owns a pharmacy in town

Is quite influential at the magistracy

certainly an affluent personality

Gold, silver, pearls, all kinds of treasures

You name it

This lady is my neighbor

Her maiden name is Pan

I'm wondering where could I've met you!

The other day when you got hit by the bamboo

oh, yes

It just slipped from my hand

It's really embarrassing

Not at all

Fate has brought you two together

You know, if it's meant to be

It would come to be

It's great that both of you are here

Both are helping me, one with all the generosity

and the other with all the effort

come let's have a drink

oh no, I've got to return home for lunch

what rubbish?

You're doing me a favor

I should at least treat you to lunch

It's just a simple meal

You should have some more to drink

I usually don't drink

I know you can hold your drinks

You might be able to fool others

But not me

come

Sorry to bother you

May I ask your age?

I think you're only...

25 years old

Same as my wife

Born in the year of dragon

She was born on August 15th

I'm no match for her

You're too modest

This lady is great

She's smart

She's good at chess

She's also good at games

I'm not exaggerating

But I think no woman in your household

could be as good as this lady

Quite right

But I am not very lucky

I forgot to ask...

what is your husband's name?

His name Iswu Zhi

Wu Zhi...

The one everyone calls the dwarf

Wu...

It's unfortunate indeed

It's unfortunate that I'm not as lucky as Mr. Wu

Mr. Wu...

is blessed

Auntie Wang

where did you buy this wine?

From the shop across the street

No wonder it tastes awful

Drinking this quality of wine...

could make people sick

Auntie Wang

You better go to Wanyuan wine store to buy ajar

Just put it on my account

God! I can't even differentiate between wines

Mrs. Wang, I think I'll head back

Nonsense, I have a guest here

But just the two of us here?

What's the problem?

There's nothing to worry about

if you behave yourself

I'm going to get the wine

Let me tell you

Keep her company

It's my honor...

to have her here as my guest

If I don't see her when I return

I'll hold you responsible

Don't you worry

on your trust

I think the lady will stay

I'll get going

what's with this weather?

This year even in March it's been so hot!

February of the leap year

That's right

If you don't mind, could you please...

put these on the bed?

I think you can do that yourself

You don't need my help

Fine, I'll do it myself

where are my chopsticks?

You're such a tease

Did you hide...

the chopsticks?

What a joke, what's so special about them?

I don't need to do anything like that

It's strange!

How about here

what are you doing?

What do you think you're doing?

Watch out, I'll slap you

Great, if I'm dead, I won't think about you

come here

Shameless

My bed

Give me ajar of wine

Put it on the account

what's there to look?

What are you looking at?

What do you care?

What do you care?

You little piece of shit

You old hag

Auntie Wang

okay

what's going on?

I'm in big trouble

This is really bad

what do you think you're doing?

Mrs. Wu

I asked you here to make the clothes

And how dare you put me in trouble?

What if your husband finds out?

Then I'll be the pimp

I better go tell him

that it's not my fault

Mrs. Wang...

what were you two thinking?

You two were having a good time

Do you have any idea how this will affect me?

I'm a vegetarian, a Buddhist

You've sinned

Spare me, please

I won't do it again

what?

So you just took advantage of her?

You think this is a brothel?

It's just one-off thing, both aren't acquainted

oh, that's so convenient, isn't it?

Mr. Wu is a decent man

He doesn't deserve this

He won't spare you if he discovers

Let me tell you

we're all in this together

If I go down, you're all going down

You two must come here everyday

I mean it

You don't have to miss even a day

otherwise I will have a word with the neighbors

And Mr. Wu will find out

Sure, I'll be here everyday

I know about you, what about her?

Me... I'll come too

You've got to be here everyday

Everyday

It's decided then

You two carry on

I'm going to go outside

No, I've had enough, I can't

Spare me...

So? Are you satisfied with her?

Absolutely

Son of a bitch

what is it?

I'm going to kill those two

You think you can go up against Ximen Qing?

He can take you out like he'd swat a fly

Don't alarm them yet

I...

Keep your cool

Don't let your wife know you've found out

when they've gone upstairs tomorrow

You be somewhere nearby

And I'll take care of the old hag

when I throw my basket as the signal...

Then you go upstairs

okay, that'd be good

Don't make so many pancakes tomorrow

I know...

Two more pears to go!

Not yet

Sit down

when I give you my signal

Then you go upstairs

Take it easy

old hag

what are you doing here, you rat?

Even if I am not here...

You'll be in trouble anyway

To hell with you!

What are you doing?

I beat you

what are you doing?

What?

Let go of me

Mr. Wu, I'm here

No one's upstairs

what are you doing?

You ain't scared of that small man, are you?

Murder!

Ximen Qing has killed someone

okay, you wait and see

I'm going to look for his brother Wu Song

You won't get away with it

Murder!

Go

water...

Give me some water

You're so annoying

A little bit closer

who do you take me to be, your maid?

You are pathetic

Good-for-nothing

Right, I may be useless

But not my brother

when he comes back...

He will deal with you

Ximen Qing

and Mrs. Wang

This is no joke

Wu Song is a hero

we better think of something

You mean...

we have to stick this out

All the way

we must strike first

After he passes off to heavenly abode

Then burn his memorial tablet

After that's done...

Then you two can get married

It's normal for a widow to marry again

when Wu Song is back

He won't have any proof

Great

Hey, Ah Fu...

we've seen rats in my wife's room

You've any idea how to get rid of them?

How about some arsenic?

Just leave it in a corner underneath the bed

Let me have a small packet then

I'm scared

Everyone's scared

or you could wait for Wu Song's return

I don't give a damn anymore

Mrs. Wang

I won't drink this, I'd rather die

I don't want to suffer

This is a good prescription

It will do you well

Drink it around midnight and cover yourself with...

the quilt; sweat it out and you'll recover tomorrow

It's all my fault

we're husband and wife after all. You...

Alright, I will drink it...

It's so bitter

It's good for you

Drink up

I know. You're afraid I might poison you

what do you take me for?

I'll drink it if you won't

I'll drink it...

Sweat it out, cover yourself with the quilt

You... are evil

Mrs. Wang

Fight him, don't let him cry out loud

Hurry

Keep his mouth shut

Everyone knows about this

only because Ximen Qing is rich and powerful

No one dares to interfere

They laugh at him behind his back though

Ximen Qing is shameless

He marries his mistresses

Inside the sedan chair sits comfy the strumpet

Behind it follows the old aide

what is it?

- Fourth lady - What is it?

Mr. Ximen has taken a fifth wife

one wedding after next

After the third one

He married you

Now he's married a Miss Pan

where is she staying?

In the room at the back garden

Chunmei from the first lady's house will serve her

A special bed has been ordered for her

Really? What's so special about her?

She was married to Wu Zhi who sold pancakes...

on the main street. She's Pan Jinlian

Pan Jinlian?

So it's her?

She's got tiny feet

I mean, real dainty

Kinda like three inches long

You've had enough to drink

I'll take you home

Brother Hua

You're drunk

who the hell is drunk?

You're drunk

Let me tell you

I heard that the new bride's feet...

are only 2 inches 9

They are tiny, sweet and soft

Everything about her so neat

I just have to touch them

Mr. Hua...

Zixu

He must be really drunk

You know, our brother Hua...

is nothing what he seems

He's quite a womanizer

congratulations!

Zixu

Lady

You must be Mrs. Hua

Yes

I regret about my husband's behavior

I hope you wouldn't take offence

Don't worry

we're friends, aren't we? Please

So it's really true

Just because that wench is a new bride

only 2 inches 9

Look at you

Yours aren't bad

2 inches 99; just a tad long

I'm really sorry, Lord Ximen

After he sobers up

I'm going to get him...

to apologize to you

Don't worry, Mrs. Hua

Zixu can hold his drinks

He's not really drunk

He's just very happy

You think not?

You know me well

of course, like a father knows his son

A brother knows his younger brother

A father knows...

Enough rubbish

Take care

what is it?

The aphrodisiacs you had earlier asked for

I've already bought it for you

Look

100 pills in total

However, don't take too many at a time

one extra will hurt

Two extra will take your life

Take it with alcohol

It works wonders

I'm sure you'll feel vigorous and gratified

It's your wedding night

You can...

try a few

If it doesn't work

Although I'll work it out for you

Remember not to take too many

You could enjoy yourself

But don't over do it

You don't want to lose your life

Nonsense

Hurry, the master's waiting for his food

The master and his new bride

plan to go to the temple to buy beads

You're telling me to hurry!

It takes time to make them

How can I hurry?

Qiuju

Stupid maid

The lady is going to break your leg

The master is hungry

How long does it take?

Alright

That's enough...

Better tell your lady

Doesn't she know that the iron cauldron

takes time to heat up? The congee's ready...

but she wants cakes and soup

How do I know what she wants to eat!

Stop talking nonsense

I wouldn't be here asking you

if I was not being told to

How rude!

Just because that woman is a new bride

She considers herself favored

You are just a maid!

If your lady thinks I'm too slow

Then you tell her to cook for the master

She poisoned her late husband

I'm sure she's the best in making pancakes

I'd rather you watch your tongue

Chunmei

Enough

5th lady

You cow!

You said that I poisoned my late husband

Might as well warn all men against marrying me

So that I won't take your place

Chunmei isn't my maid anyway

You can tell her to serve the great lady

You're giving vent to your anger on me

The master's coming...

Great, I was going to look for him

what is going on?

It's your fault, the congee is ready

But you want pancakes and soup

we got blamed because of you

Stop chattering in front of people

what have I said?

Did I curse you to be blind and bald?

Not that

But you accused me of poisoning my husband

what?

It's not a lie, is it?

How dare you!

You hit me!

Stop it

what are you doing?

Wretch, you've gone too far!

Enough, stop being abusive

There's no need to beat her up like this

First lady

Master

our neighbor Mr. Hua said that...

tomorrow is his wife's birthday

They're having a party and...

he has invited you over for a drink

Lady, the master's drunk again

You better go check on him

Hurry

Look at you, not again!

Mr. Ximen

Sorry to trouble you

Don't mention it, we're friends

I should be helping...

Good friends

Yes, good friends

Great friends

Good friends

Good friends

The wife of a friend

is even better

Don't go

Yingchun, boil some water

and prepare a cup of tea for the master

Yes, madam

Sir...

Mr. Ximen

Mrs. Hua

No...

Mrs. Hua

Get me my tea

Mr. Ximen

on the other side of the wall

is the garden of your residence

If you have a ladder

and climb over...

Higher

Lower, a little lower

Really?

I saw her with my own eyes

Qiuju was with me

It'd be better not to tell the master

we ought tell him

we'll be blamed if he finds out in future

who'd wish to be in trouble then?

That slut is always giving us a hard time

Since she's having an affair now

If we let her get away with it

No way we would

The master's coming...

This is his big day

If you don't listen to me and tell him

He'll be in a rage later

And I wouldn't want to be involved

The master's here...

Master

Get up...

Laixing

call Qintong here

Yes master

Go...

what...

Master

This... what's it about?

What's going on?

That's a good question

Right

what have you done?

Oh boy, you've got some nerve!

You are only a servant!

You should know your place

How dare you do things behind my back?

Guys

Here

Strip him and beat him to death

Yes master

I didn't do it...

You stupid slave

How dare you talk back!

Give that to me

Speak up

where did you get this from?

When I was cleaning the garden

I picked it up there

You're good at picking things up!

Beat him

Laion

Have his head shaved...

and kick him out of the house

He's never allowed to step inside this residence

Yes master

Hold it!

What are you doing?

I'm going to make you some lotus seed soup

It won't help

Stay where you are

- Chunmei - Yes master

Lock all the doors

Don't let anyone come up

Yes

You

Kneel

Take off your clothes

Take them all off

Ximen Qing, you'll die a terrible death

Get up...

Don't pretend you're hurt

Get up...

Speak up

when I wasn't home

How many times did you sleep with him?

I didn't do it...

It must be that bitch who told lies about me

You should ask around first

instead of beating me without reason

You're trying to talk your way out?

Didn't you give this to him?

Where did you get this from?

I'm asking you

The other day when I was working in the garden

I realised it's loss after I returned to my room

Guess I must have dropped it in the garden

I went back to look for it

couldn't find it anywhere

How come it's with you now?

So you didn't give it to him?

Is this your proof?

Is this what you've got against me?

Think about it

How old is that boy!

I wouldn't pick him if I was having an affair

Just because you sleep around...

doesn't mean we're all like you

Let me tell you

I did have an affair

I had an affair with you

You bastard

Chunmei

come here

what is it?

Tell me

Has she been sleeping with Qintong?

You've scolded and beaten her

No one dares to challenge you when you insist

According to you...

They didn't?

Who said they did?

It's simply a case of her being framed

Also you are the only one

who can afford to have affairs

who else would dare to...

cheat on you?

You are a smooth talker

Stop it

Yin Erh

Stop it

cheers...

Have another one, Mr. Ximen

come...

Let's play a game

I'll beat the drum

Great...

Let's start

Drink

Excuse me, everyone

Left hand side at the back courtyard

I know

Stop it, someone might see us

Don't drink too much

And hurry back

I'll send them to the garden for drinks

And I'll get Yingchun to get the ladder

Sure

I'll be waiting for you

Let me feed you

what is it?

This is a bell

From Burma

what is it for?

That's him

Hua Zixu's hiding jewelery and money in his house

He has seized all of our family property

Make an arrest...

what are you doing?

Come along to the magistracy

Sir... help me to make a statement

Please help me, Mr. Ximen

what's the matter?

What the hell's going on?

The brothers of the Hua family...

are fighting for the inheritance

They are suing Hua Zixu

They also claim that you're holding...

most of the property

Zixu doesn't know about this

why would they know about it?

Are they telling the truth?

When the old man died...

He knew his nephews were all useless

That's why he entrusted me to take care...

of most of the Estate and wealth

That's it

we better think of something

otherwise, if the officials find out

Then you'll be in trouble

How about...

we move the jewels to your house

Then we'll hide them up first

As for Zixu's case, we still...

need your help to put in a good word for him

okay, let it be this way

Actually, this is Ximen Qing's wicked plan

He worked with Hua Ziyou, Hua Ziguang and

Hua Zihua to fight with Hua Zixu

on the other hand he pretends to help Hua Zixu

And since, Ximen Qing

knows that after their uncle's death

he left a lot of jewelery behind.

And as the nephews are useless, that's why...

he left the inheritance in Li Pinger's hand

Ximen slept with Li Pinger and schemed her money

And he pretends to help with the Hua Zixu's case...

from where he got a lot of money

Zixu is ordered by the court...

to sell his property;

And then split among the four cousins.

Ximen Qing used part of Li Pinger's money...

to buy Hua Zixu's house

After the case

Hua Zixu has absolutely nothing left

All the treasures, property,

whatsoever, it's all blown

He borrows money from many

And he later buys a house

Soon thereafter, being distraught...

he died because of typhoid fever

Li Pinger assumed that she could marry...

Ximen Qing after the death of her husband

who knew Ximen would acquire a new love;

The new favorite...

is Wu Yiner, Hua Zixu's former mistress

He had forgotten about Li Pinger

Lady

So? Have you seen Mr. Ximen?

I waited for a long time

No sight of him

I heard from his employees that...

Mr. Ximen hasn't been back home for a few days

could he have gone on a trip?

Well?

No

He's at Wu Yiner's place

Lady

Lady...

Li Pinger misses Ximen Qing

She falls sick

and fantasizes of their love-making every night

Doctor Jiang Zhushan takes the opportunity

Under the pretext of curing Li Pinger...

He pleases her with sweet talks

It didn't take long...

for him to move into Li Pinger's house

And he opens up a clinic there

congratulations!

Despite being a doctor himself...

He couldn't treat his own problem

He got kicked off the bed soon

Get out

You useless man

You got me all worked up

And then you couldn't do it

Get out

Sorry, I...

You see, I can't during the day

Give me a break!

You couldn't that night either

You're nothing...

compared to Ximen Qing

Please don't compare him...

with that piece of shit

out you go

Yes

Is the doctor in?

Who is it? Come in

Taking a nap?

Have a seat...

Please sit down

You two...

we're here to get some medicine

Yeah? What kind?

Dog's lung, got any?

Dog's lung?

You must be kidding

of course not

No?

What about wolf's heart?

Wolf's heart?

You must be teasing me

You think this is a joke?

Man, we are serious

You've got those inside you

what are you talking about?

I don't know you both

Bullshit

That's why I said you aren't a human

Don't you know me? I'm Lu Hua

which Lu Hua you talkin' about?

Where have we met before?

Stop pretending

when you borrowed money from me

You were really polite

And now it's time to pay back your debt

Pardon me?

Where?

You asshole

Bullshit

See this? It's a receipt for borrowed money

This is your foot print

Foot print?

- Guard - Yes sir

See if there's a match

Yes

Lord

Master

Just as you had predicted

After Jiang Zhushan got out of prison

He got the boot from Li Pinger

Li Pinger told me

that she still hopes to marry you

Yeah, she's a lot thinner now

If you agree to the marriage

I need to get back to her

cheap cow

Alright, go tell her

There won't be any gifts from me

Just pick a date

would there be some drinks or lively banquet?

A banquet, huh?

After she marries me

I'll show her my colors

I'm staying here tonight

It's your wedding night, master

wedding night? Who cares?

Master, come here

The 6th lady has hung herself

Hurry

Hurry, you all be quick

Faster...

The 6th lady has hung herself

Hurry up...

6th lady...

Please wake up

Awoken, she's up...

what are you doing?

What do she think I am?

Coming to my house to kill herself

Today...

should be a happy day of her

But you didn't go to her. You're wrong!

None of your business

6th lady...

Get the hell out. Didn't ya hear?

What are you doing?

Get the hell out, all of you

come on, let's go

we'll leave her with you

Master

No matter what

She was once your favorite

Please spare the lady

None of your business, get out

Yes master

You slut

If you did feel guilty...

Then why you tried to hang yourself at my house?

Since you were married to that asshole

You might as well have stuck with that

why did you again come to my house for?

Get down here

Get down

C'mon, kneel

You married him

You helped him financially

But why did you tell him

that I took your money?

Who? Who said that?

You didn't say it?

Of course not

I wanted to marry you

All I wish for is your love

Money is nothing to me

You want to marry me?

That sounds nice indeed!

Then why did you marry Jiang Zhushan?

You weren't there for me

I was crazy about you

I missed you all the time

I forever fantasized about you so much

...that eventually I fell sick

Then Jiang Zhushan showed up

I was totally confused

That was what happened

So you told him

that I had taken your money, is it?

No

God, If I did...

I may rot to death, okay

Actually it's not a big deal

To tell you truth

I sent Lu Hua and Zhang Sheng to him

He got cornered

If I so desired...

You too would have ended up in court

I knew you were behind it

If you pity me...

then get me to a deserted place

and just kill me there

Let me ask you

How was I compared to Jiang Zhushan?

He's nothing compared to you

You're like heaven

and he's hell!

You're the only man for me

After we have met...

I couldn't stop thinking about you

Really?

Good guys never live long

Disasters last for centuries

Honestly! At times God prefers not to see

I mean, take Ximen Qing for instance;

If it wasn't for his relatives who introduced him

to the grand tutor Cai

And kept showering expensive gifts

Isn't that why he got promoted?

Wu Zhi and Hua Zixu

were useless when they were alive

And now they're equally useless ghosts

That's hard to tell

Maybe the time hasn't come yet

Sooner or later Karma would tell

For what?

You see, there's something besides promotion

After he got married to Li Pinger

She's given birth to a son

come... My son

Let me kiss you

only seven months since they got married

And she has a son!

Who knows... maybe the child isn't Ximen's

I think, it's probably Jiang Zhushan's kid

Enough of this nonsense talk

Don't let him hear you

or you'll be in trouble

As if I care!

Considering the time frame...

Actually I think the kid is probably Hua Zixu's

Is it the new wet nurse?

She happens to be the wife of Zhang Si

Her husband left for the army...

when their son was merely a month old

They bought her for 6 taels of silver

And they named her Ruyi

Ruyi, is it?

Whatever

wait and see

Things won't be so smooth always

one's just got to wait and watch

Chunmei

Lock all the gates

what? It's not dark yet

I'm going to take a nap...

with your lady

Silly

Slut

It's so absurd!

Chunmei

Yes?

Come...

what are you trying to do?

Come...

come there's something I want to show you

No...

I don't want to look...

This game is - 'striking the swan with the golden egg'

I'll have to drink if I miss

No...

Lady...

Lady...

Lady...

The young master...

what about him?

He fell off his bed

what?

He...

He has breathed his last

Lady...

Pinger

Pinger, what happen?

I... saw

Hua Zixu

what about him?

He...

Yes, go on! What about Hua Zixu?

He...

Pinger

Lady...

Pinger

No, it's me, master

Pinger

It's me

Master

Ximen Qing finally celebrated his death which he...

brought upon himself being over lascivious

He was a landlord, an official;

the leader of the gangsters

He was also a businessman, a bully...

and of course a sex addict

He tyrannically abused his powers

Usurping people's land and wives

couldn't imagine, hardly had his eyes closed...

His family broke apart

Soon this rich and powerful family crumbled

This grand & tall mansion was thrust to collapse

All his concubines dispersed like clouds

Even if he would have still been alive,

He would never have dreamt it'd come to this!
