(Princess Fuhui's Mansion)

Lady Shen,

the biluo you made

is quite interesting.

Biluo originated from the Western Regions

and became very popular after it was introduced here.

My family and I

have developed several new flavors.

Using milk, eggs, and butter,

we whip it into cream.

So, the ordinary cherry biluo

has become a cream cherry biluo.

This one that tastes like crab meat

is actually made from fish paste.

It's molded into shape

to make a crab stick.

From the Western Regions

to the Central Plains.

We should let them see

that after coming here,

the flavor has become more unique.

Actually, the idea of improving biluo

was suggested by my father.

He said that a thousand years later,

people's hearts will change,

and perhaps their tastes will change.

People might

forget this delicacy, biluo.

But if we keep innovating,

maybe this dish

can be passed down.

Innovate?

Create something new?

What an interesting word.

It seems that the reason your father

can make Shen's Diner so successful

is not only because he creates new dishes

but also because his ideas are unique.

How can we eat biluo without tea?

Today, I wanted to drink your tea,

so I had them

buy it for me.

Your Highness, let me.

No need.

Today, I'll do it myself.

Alright.

(Pei Fei) Today,

I ordered

your Slap-the-Heartbreaker Drink.

You always ignore me

and refuse my invitations.

You always ignore me

and refuse my invitations.

(Pei Fei)

(Pei Fei)

Mr. Lin was impeached

for overstepping his authority.

He's been suspended by my brother.

What?

(Upright in Speech and Conduct)

Young Master.

Young Master,

Mr. Meng is here.

Mr. Meng.

I've come to see

how you are.

Still calm.

Don't worry.

I came from the backyard.

No one saw me.

Anran, do you know,

throughout history,

what happened to those

who were demoted and fell into the abyss?

Out of ten,

hardly one or two

were able to make a comeback.

Anran, you're alone

with no ties,

so you dare to speak for the people

and not fear the powerful.

But that's also why

they dared to target you.

You want to advise me

to choose a good tree to perch on.

It's just about forming a good alliance.

If you became my grandson-in-law,

you would never be demoted again.

(Capital Prefecture)

Go back.

All of you, go.

It's not time to leave work.

Yet, you all came to see me off.

Do you think there's too little work?

In recent years,

the head of the Prefecture

has changed too frequently.

It's not good for your promotions.

If I can't get through this time...

Mr. Lin,

at a time like this,

stop thinking about us.

If I can't get through this,

I'll try to help you

get transferred somewhere else.

Cheng Hu,

you'll go to the county

and serve as the Sheriff for a while.

The salary will be higher,

and it will add to your resume.

Second Master Xu,

I'll recommend you to the Ministry of Justice.

So you can hold your head high at home.

Zhao Jiu...

Mr. Lin.

Stop.

- We'll follow you. - We'll stay.

- Mr. Lin. - We want to follow you.

We just want to follow you.

But I can't see you

waste your time here.

We aren't wasting our time.

Mr. Lin.

With a Vice Prefect like you,

we've never been afraid.

No matter what happens,

we will stick with you

through thick and thin.

- Right. - Right.

(Capital Prefecture)

(Yunshui Manor)

Young Master.

Lady Shen is here.

(Yunshui Manor)

Father and I made

(Yunshui Manor) several new flavors of biluo,

preparing to sell them in the diner.

Please have a try.

You already know?

Your sudden suspension

must be related to the case, right?

Did Prince Zhao do this?

Does your family

also know about it?

I received the news from the Princess.

I haven't told my family

so as not to worry them.

Mr. Lin, don't be discouraged.

Think of it from another angle.

It might be a good thing.

The fact that they took action

as soon as you made progress

only proves that you're right.

I'm fine, actually.

But you and I are cousins.

Everyone in Yong'an has known about it.

My suspension

will inevitably affect you.

You've also helped a lot

with the case.

From now on,

focus on protecting yourselves.

When family is in trouble,

that's the last thing we'd do.

Mr. Lin, I came today

because I have something to tell you.

The trap that Lu Yun set for you at Yunlai Tavern

happened because someone leaked the info.

Our newly hired chef, Yu San,

works for Prince Zhao.

Yu San?

Where is he?

Are your family members okay?

Yu San is not a villain.

He was coerced by Prince Zhao.

Prince Zhao held his parents hostage in Fenglin Town,

so he had to agree to work for Prince Zhao.

If we can rescue his parents,

he's willing to help us.

Fenglin Town?

Can we

really trust Yu San?

After years of doing business,

I've developed a good eye for people.

I think we can.

But it concerns...

I trust you.

Leave the rest to me.

I'll head to Fenglin Town asap.

(Yunshui Manor)

It's raining hard.

Please get into the carriage quickly.

Your sudden suspension

must be related to the case, right?

Did Prince Zhao do this?

Sorry, I have to go back.

I forgot to tell Mr. Lin something.

Lady Shen, take the umbrella.

Thank you.

Don't come any closer.

Father...

Didn't Father die?

Did I...

Did I reincarnate

to see Father once more?

I can see Father again.

Father...

I can see Father again.

Father...

From now on,

you shall be my adopted son.

You'll have one character as your name,

like my sons:

Yan.

Yes.

Good.

Your swordsmanship is getting better.

You asked the masters

to teach me swordsmanship.

I hope I haven't disappointed you.

You will never disappoint me.

Are you tired?

Have a cup of tea.

Here.

Thank you, Your Highness.

Anran,

I've heard that you want

to be transferred to Yong'an.

I think

that if I can make a name

for myself in the Capital,

it won't be a waste of your cultivation.

Very well.

Anran,

I gave you

your courtesy name.

Do you know

what it means?

You hope that I can live

a peaceful and smooth life.

Now in the Capital,

the situation is full of uncertainties.

How can you

make me feel at ease?

I've already lost

my most beloved eldest son.

I don't want to lose you, either.

Prince Zhao raised you.

He's like a father to you.

You found the evidence

and confirmed that he's the culprit.

Then he managed to get you suspended.

You've been too calm about all that.

If you keep these things inside,

it can make you sick.

So, treat me as a tree hole

and let it out.

He was so concerned

about my studies.

Liu Chang and I escaped death,

wandering outside.

My health weakened.

He was afraid I would die,

so he hired famous masters

to teach me martial arts to strengthen my body.

He seemed

so upright and sincere,

and he taught me to be loyal to the state

and uphold righteousness.

I know

the reason he treated me this way

is because I resemble

his deceased eldest son, Li Sheng.

Sheng

and Yan

both mean brightness.

Even the courtesy name Anran

was prepared for Li Sheng.

But I still appreciate him.

He saved me from the flames

and taught me when I was confused.

But I never expected...

I just couldn't imagine

that he had my family's blood on his hands

and still pretended to be my family.

17 years.

It's been 17 years.

He preached righteousness,

yet exterminated my entire clan.

Who knows how many

nameless and innocent victims he killed?

But I feel it's a good thing

that you resemble the son he cared about.

It's a good thing that when you were defenseless,

you gave him your true heart

and survived.

If you had discovered the truth early on,

even if you could pretend,

your heart would've suffered too much torment.

Once a person endures too much pain,

they lose the ability to feel joy.

My family,

your family, and I

don't want you to be consumed by revenge.

Now that you know the truth,

you've had the ability to protect yourself

and deal with the villains.

This is truly something to be grateful for.

You do care about me.

Jicai,

I will resolve all of this.

I won't keep your family worried forever,

nor will I let you suffer in the slightest.

When all of this is settled,

I'll formally ask for your hand in marriage,

okay?

It shouldn't be me.

Mr. Pei has said it.

You and Mr. Meng...

Don't believe those rumors.

Believe me.

If you became my grandson-in-law,

you would never be demoted again.

Thank you for your favor,

but your move

only belittles me

and your granddaughter.

The Censorate impeached me,

but I have my way to deal with it.

Otherwise, how could I control the Prefecture?

As for Lady Shen Jingwen,

she has her own world.

You should ask her

what she

truly wants.

Apart from a fraudster,

I do not

and will not be engaged

to anyone else.

Why?

After all this time,

I can't figure out what you're thinking.

But I know myself.

I know

that if I miss you,

I will never find peace in my life.

What about you?

Lin Yan,

do you still remember?

I told you that I came

from a place called Future Village.

In Future Village, there are dishwashers

and many other things that surpass

the wonders of this era.

You asked me why

I always say strange things

and do strange things.

It's because

my family and I

do not belong to this era.

We come from 1,000 in the future.

If you want to reject me,

you don't need to weave

such a ridiculous excuse.

Yunshui Manor is our ancestral home.

We came here through the ancestral home.

Based on the map we saw

(Yunshui Manor Tourist Map) at Yunshui Manor,

the manor is in that direction.

Since we came through Yunshui Manor,

(Yunshui Manor) we need to go there.

Actually, you're my fiancé.

I lied and said I was your fiancée

to live in Yunshui Manor

and find a way back.

But we tried

many times and failed.

There was no way,

so we had to stay here.

And you...

Our relationship...

Yunshui Manor is your place,

and it is our ancestral home,

so you are our...

When my grandfather was alive,

he told us the stories of our ancestor,

which are your stories.

That's why I know so much about you.

I know your surname is Cui,

and I deceived you,

pretending to be your fiancée.

♪Falling into fog♪

It's too absurd.

Too absurd.

This can't be.

Do you remember the lock

on the secret door in the study?

Why couldn't you crack it,

but I could open it easily?

Because that lock

comes from our era.

♪Where should I go♪

She opened the lock so easily?

Today, I'm truly honored

to meet you.

Alive...

He's alive.

No, no.

Ancestor.

Not again.

To our ancestors,

may they live long and in good health.

Future Village?

A place that has yet to arrive.

It just needs another thousand years or so

for you to see

the Future Village where everyone is equal.

♪You're protecting me by my side♪

♪Holding your hand, I no longer feel empty♪

♪Until we walk through the long, cold winter♪

♪May there be♪

♪No more strangers♪

♪May the dawn never set♪

(Shen's Diner)

Jicai told Mr. Lin

everything today.

Ever since she came back,

she's been cleaning

nonstop here.

The diner is surprisingly clean.

I mean,

we should try to persuade her.

She just got caught in the rain.

Her health is important.

Or maybe

we should just let her vent.

She was fine after jumping into the pond.

Jicai is thin,

but she's strong.

She needs this.

When adults are upset,

they tend to punish themselves.

Dad knows this best.

He did this when Mom left.

Yangyang, you're right.

That was the only time Gongcai ever did any housework.

Dad...

Enough.

Don't worry.

I know my daughter.

Give her some time.

She'll be fine.

That makes sense.

(Jicai)

Oh, my.

Young Master,

what are you looking for here?

It's so dirty. Let me do it.

Found it.

(Jicai)

(Jicai)

Young Master.

Young Master,

I listened to you

and got close with the Jinwu guards

who were on duty on the night Zhao Xunzhi disappeared.

Guess what?

(Jicai)

Young Master,

are

you okay?

Let's get down to business.

I treated

those Jinwu guards

to wine many times.

Finally, I got some info.

After the city gates were locked that day,

a grocery cart from Yunlai Tavern

went out.

Opening the city gates at night?

Even with a bribe,

how dare the Jinwu guards do that?

That's the point.

There was an eunuch

in that cart.

It was related to Noble Consort Dou.

No wonder the Jinwu guards kept quiet.

Zhao Xunzhi

must have been on that cart.

Hurry up with your work.

We were ordered

to deliver these goods to Fenglin Town by tomorrow.

The Jinwu guards will come later.

Hurry up.

Load the cart. Hurry.

Hurry.

Fenglin Town again.

It seems their base is there.

Why did you say "again"?

Early tomorrow,

I'll go see His Majesty

and head to Fenglin Town afterward.

You stay here

and take care of the Shen family.

Very well.

(Jingsi Study)

Why are you here?

I'm looking for Mr. Lin.

He's not here.

Tell me what you need.

Actually,

Jicai has told us everything.

I know

that after Mr. Lin was suspended,

he was in a bad mood

and had a disagreement

with Jicai.

I can understand all of this.

But that's one thing.

My career as a mole

can't just stop.

What would I do

with all my talents?

So, I'm asking Mr. Lin

if there's anything else he wants me to do.

Mr. Lin has given instructions.

He will handle things.

You just need to take care of yourselves.

How can that be?

I need to ask him in person.

Mr. Shen,

Mr. Lin really isn't here.

If he's not here,

I'll wait for him inside.

When we broke

(Jingsi Study) into Yunlai Tavern at night,

we worked together so well.

Those glances.

Those feelings.

Now, it's the key moment to solve the case.

How can he be without me by his side?

Mr. Lin is not in Yong'an,

so it's useless for you to wait inside.

Mr. Lin was demoted and left so soon?

He's gone

to Fenglin Town.

Fenglin Town?

That sounds so familiar.

Mr. Lin went to Fenglin Town

to rescue Mentor Zhao and Yu San's parents.

You don't know.

When I was out working,

I went to Fenglin Town.

Back then,

I was begging there...

Struggling to survive.

I walked

every inch of that land.

So, I know the local customs

and the geography of that place

like the back of my hand.

No one is more suitable to help him than me.

Before my young master left,

he repeatedly instructed me

to take good care

of you.

How can I just let you go?

How will I explain to him?

Lady Shen.

You must persuade your brother.

I have to go find Lin Yan.

(Dou Residence)

(Dou Residence)

Where is Zhao Xunzhi being held?

It's all here.

Mr. Lin.

Mentor Zhao.

Are you alright?

I'm fine for now.

Do you know

where they're holding the other hostages?

The guards said

they're also in Fenglin Town.

Come with me.

You actually found your way here.

Lu Yun, that fool,

even told my father you hadn't found anything.

It seems I know you better after all.

Lin Yan,

I've been waiting here all along

for you.

It's because you resemble my eldest brother

that Father spared your life,

letting you live these extra years.

Kill this man

who should've gone

to hell 17 years ago.

Li Ang,

why give so many orders?

Who can hear the key point?

I told you to kill him!

Attack Zhao.

He will surely defend.

Stop it, all of you.

Father watched you learn

your swordsmanship.

He never treated me like this.

Today, I will personally disable you

and bring you before Father,

so he can see

how useless you are.

Scatter.

Slow down.

Mr. Lin,

hold on a little longer,

okay?

Come on.

Be careful.

Someone's coming.

- Lin Yan. - That...

Mr. Lin!

Lin Yan!

Lin Yan.

Lin Yan.

It's okay now; I'm here.

It's okay.

It's okay now; I'm here.

Yu San's parents

are being held

somewhere else in Fenglin Town.

Mentor Zhao knows.

Let Cheng Hu

take people to rescue them.

Liu Chang will be here soon.

Hold on a little longer.

He's right behind us.

Don't fall asleep. Hold on.
