[Episode 16]

Fine! I'll admit it!

- Mother! - I'll admit it!

I was raped!

- Mother! - He raped me!

You were raped?

I feel so ashamed.

My Lord.

I feel really sorry, so I didn't dare tell you.

My Lord, but I didn't have any other choice.

Governor Luo kidnapped our Young Master Yuanheng.

I thought about it a lot. I could do nothing but beg him.

And then...

Mother!

Continue talking!

He even wanted to do something evil to me.

My Lord, I would never.

But I didn't dare offend him.

So I had to...

I had to pretend the baby I was carrying was his,

and hoped that he would help me save Young Master Yuanheng for the sake of that.

But who would know that I still couldn't save

my poor Master Yuanheng.

She's lying.

If she really wanted to save my brother, why wouldn't she tell us?

I know that...

you never thought of me as your stepmother.

You hate me.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry to your mother.

But I love your father

with all my heart, Wanqing!

I've been wronged!

- Father! - Do you really think your father is the kind of person

who gets confused and is negligent?

- Father! - Father!

- Please forgive my mother! Father! - Wanqing.

Mother did all of this

because I love Brother Guangyao so much.

Father! Father!

Please punish me! Father!

It's all my fault!

Father!

Please punish me, Father!

- Mu Fang. - Yes, My Lord?

Take Mrs. Mu and Miss Wanting to the house out of town,

and ask the servants to keep an eye on them.

Neither of them can leave the house without my permission.

- Father! - Yes.

Father!

Father!

Father. Father!

My Lord! My Lord!

Mother.

Mother. Mother.

[Emergency Room]

Doctor, how is he doing?

He has a mild concussion and an extracranial hematoma.

But his life is not in danger. He should be awake soon.

[Mu Mansion]

Okay.

Calm down.

Help me tidy up this place.

Mother.

I really don't know what there is to tidy up in this shabby little house.

I'm so annoyed.

You...

don't waste your time venting your anger here.

Why don't you think about a way to deal with her?

It's all that Mu Wanqing's fault.

This time, God has made a wrong decision.

We should have let her die on the dock.

My little girl, remember a word from your mother.

As a human, even during times of hardship,

you have to stand up straight.

Never let others find a chance to look down on you.

It's all that Tan Xuanlin's fault.

If he hadn't had an affair with Mu Wanqing,

would he have helped her like that?

And that Min Dacheng. He can't even get this little thing done.

He's an idiot. He should just go die.

You!

Mother!

I...

I can't believe you hit me because of that man.

Can't you just say something nice for once?

Say something nice!

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

It's all because of Mu Wanqing.

She's the reason why our family

is in such a mess.

My little girl.

Where there is life, there is hope.

As long as we're still alive,

she will die eventually.

I never knew Mrs. Mu was such a cruel person.

I couldn't believe it when Junior Marshal Su told me.

It's easy to know a person's face but not their heart.

Fortunately, Wanqing is fine.

Yes.

Be careful.

Reporting.

Junior Marshal Xu, a water pipe has burst in the room upstairs.

We're afraid the water will leak into your room.

Should we change your room?

- All right. - Yes, sir.

[Leakage Repair]

- Hello? - Hello?

Min Dacheng is out of danger now.

What about your side?

For old times' sake,

Father only sent Cui Lianfeng and Mu Wanting away to a house outside of town.

Then let's give him a push

and help him make the decision.

Okay.

[Shanghai St. John Hospital]

[Wanmei Emporium Wanchai Branch is Now Recruiting Managerial Staff]

Commander Tan.

You're awake?

You should go home and rest.

The nurses will take care of me here.

It's okay. I've promised Governor Xu that

I would personally watch over you

until you are alive and running around.

Thank you for your help

with Wanqing's case.

I'll thank you for Wanqing.

Don't mention it.

Miss Mu doesn't treat me like an outsider anymore.

So you don't need to be so polite.

It seems that during my absence from the headquarters,

Commander Tan and Wanqing got along pretty well.

[Nurse's Duty Room]

[Trash]

- Commander. - What's going on here?

What's the matter?

The second floor is on fire.

Call someone and put out the fire.

All of you, come with me!

Yes!

Wait. It's a trap!

Don't come any closer or I'll kill him!

The man you're looking for

is Min Dacheng, right?

Don't get any closer or I'll kill him for real!

He is the son of Governor Xu.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Put the gun down! Put the gun down!

Don't move. Come with me.

Brother Guangyao, I'm sorry.

These people were here to kill Min Dacheng.

I really don't know why they came into your ward by mistake.

Wasn't this part of your plan, Commander Tan?

Brother Guangyao, I really didn't mean for this to happen.

I can't think of a safer place in the whole hospital than your ward.

But to ensure your safety,

not only did I personally guard the place,

but the gate was also heavily guarded.

If it weren't for your heavy guards,

the assassins might not have come into the wrong room.

It's a good thing you're fine.

Junior Marshal!

Junior Marshal!

Junior Marshal, are you all right?

I'm fine.

Brother Guangyao,

since you have someone to take care of you,

I'll go and deal with the assassins first.

I'll see you. Let's go.

Junior Marshal, let's go back to Yue City to recuperate.

No matter how heavily guarded this place is,

it's no better than the governor's mansion.

Wait. It's a trap!

It's okay. They weren't here for me.

Don't worry.

[First Ward]

How's he doing?

You guessed right.

Someone did try to kill him.

It's a good thing he didn't get hurt.

Well, in your opinion, who's behind all this?

One of the assassins was killed and the other is wounded.

The wounded one has already confessed.

They said Cui Lianfeng was the one behind this.

So it was Cui Lianfeng.

He raped Cui Lianfeng back then,

causing Cui Lianfeng to have a miscarriage.

He thought the baby was his, but it wasn't.

Cui Lianfeng has hated him for a long time.

She's just using him.

That baby wasn't his?

The timing is suspicious.

That baby was my father's.

Now, I feel a little sorry for him.

[First Ward]

You heard what we said last night, didn't you?

I see that you've had a rough night.

Don't be so unhappy seeing me.

It was Cui Lianfeng who wanted to kill you.

I saved your life, too.

But I'm curious

as to why you worked for Cui Lianfeng,

you even risked your life to try to kill Mr. Mu's daughter.

Is it true that the baby Cui Lianfeng miscarried was Mu Zhiyuan's?

[Cui Lianfeng had a miscarriage and the fetus was less than four months old]

Take a look at this yourself.

The fetus was less than four months old.

According to the time, it was Mu Zhiyuan's baby.

[Cui Lianfeng had a miscarriage and the fetus was less than four months old]

Just for such a miscarried fetus,

you're so obedient to Cui Lianfeng

that you were willing to kill someone for her.

Min Dacheng, you're such an affectionate person.

Unless,

there's another secret between you and Cui Lianfeng.

Fine.

Let me show you something.

Tan Xuanlin, are you trying to trick me?

You're right.

I did trick you.

You tried to destroy this photo over and over again.

This child...

must be the real secret of you and Cui Lianfeng.

This is not the only photo I burned.

These are all photos of me and some relatives and friends.

I, Min Dacheng, always bear the consequences of my own actions.

I don't want to bring trouble to anyone.

So it's not unusual that I burned this so-called evidence.

As for this child,

she's just a child of a friend of mine.

A friend's child?

Min Dacheng, do you take me for a fool?

You're willing to risk your life for Cui Lianfeng's miscarried fetus.

So it's obvious that you just want to have a child of your own.

Then, why don't you go marry and have children?

A man like me,

who's facing death every day,

doesn't deserve a wife and children.

Without them, I can be truly safe.

Fine.

Then it goes back to the question I just asked.

Since you are a man who doesn't care about anything,

why are you willing to work for Cui Lianfeng?

If you don't tell me the truth,

I'll have to continue investigating this piece of evidence.

Cui Lianfeng has something of mine.

What is it?

More than ten years ago, the young master of the Mu family, Mu Yuanheng,

wasn't killed by Governor Luo.

Who did it then?

At that time, Cui Lianfeng lied about having my child.

She asked me to cooperate with her

in killing the young master of the Mu family

so that our child could replace Young Master Mu Yuanheng

and inherit the property of the Mu family.

I was out of my mind back then so I listened to her nonsense

and did such a vicious thing.

So...

Cui Lianfeng asked you to kill Mu Yuanheng?

Yes.

The hospital is such an easy place to kill someone.

How did you fail?

You idiot!

Tan Xuanlin hid Min Dacheng in Junior Marshal's ward

and moved the Junior Marshal to a new one.

He heavily guarded around the new ward, deliberately confusing us.

Although we failed, we didn't blow our cover.

Is Min Dacheng awake?

Yes.

Tan Xuanlin sent someone to say that

Min Dacheng still has an old case on him.

He wants you to hold a retrial.

An old case?

Did he say what the old case was about?

He said it's still related to the Mu family.

Min Dacheng wouldn't have told them all about what happened back then, would he?

Min Dacheng killed Cui Jie.

Mrs. Mu is now in a difficult situation and is unable to protect herself.

If he gave me up,

who would protect his child?

Go tell Tan Xuanlin that I agree to hold a retrial.

Yes.

[Governor Xu agreed to hold a retrial of the Mu family's case.]

[Governor Mansion of Yue City]

I understand. You may go.

I heard that Min Dacheng has confessed.

Yes. He has finally admitted that it was Cui Lianfeng who asked him to kill your brother.

Xu Bojun has agreed to hold a retrial.

I've always felt something was wrong.

How could he be so devoted to Cui Lianfeng for just a miscarried baby?

But who is the child in the photo?

What photo?

The night Min Dacheng was arrested, he had been trying to burn this photo.

Thanks to Tan Si's quick reflexes, he managed to save half of it.

It's Commander Tan's name. Wanqing, you asked Commander Tan

to pay for you?

What's wrong?

I recognize this bracelet.

Cui Lianfeng has one exactly like this.

If the woman in this photo is Cui Lianfeng,

then this child...

This child is...

I remember now.

Not long after my grandfather died, my mother was in poor health.

Cui Lianfeng, as a servant girl, volunteered to help observe the mourning for my grandfather.

Not long after she left, it was Tomb-Sweeping Day.

My mother had a cold.

My father went alone to do the rituals and renovate the tombs.

It was during this time that they had an affair.

That was the year that Mu Wanting was born.

So...

this is the real secret between the two of them.

We need to look into Mu Wanting's origins.

But after all this time, can we still find evidence?

Don't worry.

If it's really a lie,

then it's bound to be exposed.

[Mu Mansion]

My Lord said the Command Office has sent a notice saying that

there's a case concerning both a criminal surnamed Min and the Mu Family.

Mrs. Mu and Miss Wanting are now grounded and can't go out.

My Lord will take Miss Wanqing with him to attend the court trial.

If there are any results, he will inform you.

It won't happen.

- It's going to be okay. - Mother.

It's going to be okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

Mother.

Mother, what's wrong with you?

Don't worry. That Min Dacheng has been in the underworld for so many years.

He must have offended a lot of people.

Besides, our family business is so big.

Maybe he blackmailed us before.

Right. Black... Blackmail.

He blackmailed us.

Wanting.

Wanting.

Mother...

feels sorry for you.

Promise me one thing.

No matter what happens, you will live well for me.

Do you remember?

Your injury has almost healed.

But there are so many people who want to harm you.

It hadn't been long, yet another group of assassins came.

Now that the hospital is so heavily guarded, they search every person who's entering and leaving.

Yet, the assassins still managed to get in.

That's right. It's a good thing that they started the body search.

If the assassins really got in with a gun, then it would be another story.

That's so lucky of you. But who were the assassins this time?

Both assassins are dead.

As of now, we haven't been able to identify them yet.

I heard from Xu Cheng that

at that time, the assassin was pointing a needle at your neck.

If he had shaken his hand a little, it could have been pierced into your artery.

You're really lucky to be unharmed this time.

Old Su, point this pen at me.

What for? You don't want to recreate the scene, do you?

Hurry up.

What about me signing you my signature?

Cut it out. Just hurry and do it.

Are you okay?

[The High Court of Shanghai]

[The Whole World as One Community]

Bring the prisoner into court.

[Chief Judge]

Min Dacheng, I heard that you had some old cases to confess.

I remind you to tell the truth

and not to accuse the innocent, or you will be punished more severely.

I, Min Dacheng,

have been on the battlefield

and in the underworld throughout my life.

I have done numerous evil things, including killing people.

Today,

even if you shoot me in court,

there'd be nothing wrong with that.

I've killed a lot of people in the past.

But those people, they all deserved to die.

But there was a murder case ten years ago.

If I don't talk about it today,

I'm afraid I'll regret it on my way to hell.

I didn't expect a man like you

to have some conscience.

Ten years ago,

I killed a child.

The child's name

was Mu Yuanheng.

Father.

My Lord.

Father.

My Lord, you came?

Cui Lianfeng.

Give me back my son's life.

My Lord, you... How could he say that?

He's lying. Don't believe him, My Lord.

Min Dacheng made it very clear that

the baby you were pregnant with back then was his child!

You two murdered Yuanheng together.

You wanted to replace Yuanheng with your son

and make him the sole heir of our family.

My Lord. Don't listen to his nonsense, My Lord.

He can talk nonsense. He blamed everything on me.

But I… I really didn't mean to harm Master Yuanheng. My Lord.

My Lord, I wanted to save Master Yuanheng. Do you remember?

- My Lord, what he said is not... - Min Dacheng's statement is still at headquarters.

Do you want to see the case file?

No. He's just a random soldier. What he said is not true.

What he said is not the truth. What he said is not true.

It's not all true, My Lord.

Do you... Do you have proof?

Do you have any proof? Do you have any proof of that?

Did you let him frame me? Did you?

Cui Lianfeng!

I don't want to hear any more of your sophistry.

I'm telling you.

I was going to make you pay for Yuanheng's life.

But for the sake of your over ten years of service to the Mu family,

I'll spare your life.

But I will write a letter to announce our divorce.

From now on, you have nothing to do with the Mu family!

Father, please don't kick my mother out.

I'm begging you. All of this...

All this was all Mu Wanqing's doing.

Wanting!

If it weren't for your sake,

I would never go easy on her.

My Lord is right.

My Lord is already being merciful.

It is because I have been married to him for more than ten years,

and I had given birth to his children

that My Lord goes easy on me.

It is true that you've given birth,

but it is not certain who you were giving birth for.

Mu Wanqing, don't confuse right from wrong!

The boy I was carrying was miscarried.

And it was My Lord's. The hospital has the document to prove that!

The baby who miscarried was indeed my father's.

But this daughter...

may not be his.

Mu Wanqing, don't you dare slander me here!

Don't talk nonsense!

Wanqing.

If you don't have any evidence, you can't say such a thing.

Mr. Mu,

what Miss Wanqing said, has proof to back it up.

Commander Tan.

I'm sorry to come in uninvited.

It's just that I found something on the suspect Min Dacheng,

and I dare not hide it from you.

It's concerning you.

Concerning... Concerning me?

Mr. Mu, do you still remember who this girl is?

The photo is of Wanting as a child.

Mrs. Mu, please take a look at it as well.

Why do you have my photo?

That night, Min Dacheng risked his life to return to the pawnshop

just to burn this photo.

He never got married and has no children.

That's why I've always wondered who the woman whose one hand

and child are in this photo.

This... isn't Wanting.

It's just someone who looks like her.

Is that so?

Then, how come the bracelet is exactly the same as yours?

No.

Mr. Mu, take a look at her.

This Dr. Liang... Do you remember her?

Eighteen years ago, it was her who delivered Mrs. Mu's baby.

Right. She is Dr. Liang who delivered Wanting.

Dr. Liang.

Was Miss Wanting born full term?

Miss Wanting was born full term.

But why did you tell me she wasn't and asked me to take good care of her?

It was Mrs. Mu who paid me to say so.

Dr. Liang, then when did Mrs. Mu get pregnant?

In terms of time, it should have been

in February of that year.

That means when I went back to my hometown on Tomb-Sweeping Day,

you were already pregnant.

No. No. No.

Then let me tell you what really happened.

You had an affair with Min Dacheng and you got pregnant with his child.

That's why you went to observe the ritual on behalf of my mother.

Wanting is Min Dacheng's daughter.

Mother, what are they talking about?

Why can't I understand? Mother.

Mother, say something.

I've been fooled by you for so many years.

Mother! Say something!

Mother!

You have finally achieved your goal, haven't you?

You're finally satisfied, aren't you?

You've come back

just to set me up,

and to see me as I am today. Right?

I only believe that God observes what people do.

There's still justice in our family.

Good.

Commander Tan,

please don't tell anyone about what happened today.

Recently, there's been a lot going on in the Mu family.

We can't afford any more gossip.

Don't worry. This is your family business. I've overstepped boundaries.

It's just that the matter of bloodline is of great importance.

I don't want to hide it from you.

Commander Tan has found out the truth of the matter for me.

I am... very grateful.

Mr. Mu, don't mention it.

I can't be the person in charge of Shanghai without your full support.

So everything I do will be in your best interest.

So for this matter, I don't know anything about it.

And I won't say a word about it.

Thank you.

Well then, Mr. Mu, take good care of yourself.

I'll take my leave now.

My Lord.

For the sake of our more than ten years together as husband and wife,

I would like to talk to you alone.

Mother.

You bitch! I'm going to kill you!

- Miss Wanting. - Guards.

Let go of me! Let go of me!

I'm the first daughter of the Mu family!

My last name is Mu. I am the first daughter of the Mu family!

- Take her away. - Take Miss Wanting away quickly!

- Let go of me! - Take her away.

Mu Wanqing!

Actually, from the first day I accompanied Her Ladyship to this house as a servant girl,

and from the first moment I saw you,

I knew that Cui Lianfeng's life was over.

I was not content with just being a servant girl.

I was not content with just being a mistress.

I was not content with sharing your love

with another woman.

I just wanted to be

Mu Zhiyuan's only wife.

Now, it is...

all over.

I don't have to plot anything anymore.

And I don't have to lead a better-off life in fear.

But I only ask you for one thing.

For the sake of Wanting living with you and bringing much happiness to you these ten years,

can you be kind to her?
