Marry Me

Episode 14

Long Residence

Thanks to your investigation,

the murderer is captured.

We are brothers, you don't need to thank me.

Why does the credit go to Long Teng?

I was the one who found the clue...

and discovered the affair between Mrs Zhu and the murderer

I think,

both of them already planned this,

they came to the capital targeting Zhu Fu.

Thanks to my intelligence and capability, I managed to catch the murderer.

My father is bragging again.

As expected of the Martial Arts Alliance leader.

Long Fei, you are a true hero.

You have good taste.

Xiao Bao,

it's fine if your uncles don't like me,

but don't you dare laugh at me.

You little brat.

Father.

Ms Ju is in the backyard.

Who cares about her?

That's because...

she helped me in prison.

I don't want to be ungrateful.

-Don't pretend, go now. -Don't pretend, go now.

Qiang,

Young Master Yue is all right now,

I should go home too.

You'll stay with Young Master Yue from now on.

You are back, Young Master Yue.

Where are you going?

I was worried about your case earlier on,

now you have been proven innocent,

and the wine house has been repaired,

it's time for me to go home.

I have been waiting for you,

because I wanted to bid farewell to you personally.

No, you can't.

Why not?

What do you mean?

I have a promise to keep.

We have struck a deal in prison,

I cannot go against my promise and betray you.

This...

This is the principal of a businessman.

You mean...

Yes,

that's right,

it's about our marriage.

I made that remark out of anger,

don't take it seriously.

I don't care whether it's real or fake,

but to me,

I won't make empty promises.

Anyway, you can't leave.

Why can't I leave?

Because,

the case is not yet closed.

You are involved in this,

there'll be a lot of things to follow up.

So, of course you can't leave.

But Mrs Zhu and Zhang Yuan have been arrested.

She has confessed.

She came here in search of her husband and she conspired with Zhang Yuan.

Then, they tried to cheat Zhu Fu of his wealth,

but their ploy was discovered by Zhu Fu.

They were not happy,

they went to see Zhu Fu,

and they argued with him.

Whether it's the timing or motivation,

everything checks out.

Even if they showed up at World's Best Inn at the right time with a plausible motive,

there's not enough evidence to prove they are the murderers.

There's indeed something suspicious.

They are only after the money,

Zhang Yuan is a scholar.

He doesn't seem to be capable of committing murder.

If that's the case,

who is the real murderer?

Anyhow,

I have an inkling on the case.

I just need to prove it.

Mrs Zhu,

do you know why you are being interrogated today?

I don't know.

Zhang Yuan and I are innocent.

We found out,

Zhu Fu's World's Best Inn is going to have a Martial Arts Assembly.

We decided to pay him a visit.

But Zhu Fu was a bully,

he injured Zhang Yuan.

We have to leave the issue unsettled.

Nonsense.

If you say the case is unsettled,

why did you lodge a complaint...

at the Bureau when Zhu Fu died?

I was greedy.

I couldn't let go of Zhu Fu's property.

I wanted to use this as an excuse...

to inherit Zhu Fu's property.

But I didn't kill anyone,

I beg you for your understanding.

Notice: murderer of World's Best Inn's businessman has been taken into custody.

See, I told you so.

Young Master Yue is innocent.

This time,

you have done something smart.

I knew from the start that Zhu Fu had a family,

and it was in shambles.

In all his years working in the capital,

he had never contacted his wife.

When the accident happened,

I took advantage of it.

That scoundrel,

Oil

how could he leave me just like that?

Oh god,

how am I supposed to live alone?

Mrs Zhu.

Mrs Zhu, please don't be too sad.

Accidents happen.

It is important to give him a dignified burial.

What should I do now?

You are devoted to each other.

Zhu Fu is dead,

you must make the necessary arrangements.

Otherwise his property and money,

will be lost to others.

Property, money.

But I...

You are his lawfully wedded wife.

Everything should belong to you.

I know the Long brothers well,

they'll definitely investigate it.

Since they want an answer so badly, let's give them one.

In due time,

Mrs Zhu and her lover will fall into our trap.

This time round, don't make any mistakes.

Rest assured,

I have found a scapegoat.

When the security at the inn relaxes,

I'll go look for the register.

But we must be patient.

As long as the case is not closed,

and the murderer is not executed,

we must be extremely careful.

We must not be careless.

You are right, Lord Ding.

And,

watch the two Long brothers closely.

Especially at the very last moment,

you must watch them carefully.

Yes.

The murderer is very cunning.

He knows how to trick us and mislead us.

However, he didn't expect that,

Mrs Zhu would tell us the truth because of Zhang Yuan.

I have another question.

I won't let you off easily if you don't tell the truth.

Does anyone else know about you, Zhu Fu and Zhang Yuan?

Guards!

-I... -My lord.

Please spare my life.

I'll tell you.

There's someone else.

He told me,

if I lodge a complaint,

I'll inherit the Zhu family's property.

We are going to draw the snake out of its hole.

I've sent out news about the murderer's arrest.

We only have to wait for the real murderer to bite the bait.

But the murderer is not stupid.

If he knows you have taken the bait,

why would he allow himself to be captured?

If it were me, I would have ran away.

This notice,

is the first step towards getting the murderer to relax.

After that, it's all about psychological war with the murderer.

Do you know how to draw the snake out of its hole,

and force the murderer to reveal himself?

I have a plan.

However,

I need cooperation from Ms Ju.

How do I cooperate?

Marry me.

Marry you?

-Marry him? -Marry him?

I don't agree, this is not a good plan.

When you were at the Kun Palace,

you said you'd marry me for my Death-Exemption Tag.

Didn't you?

I thought you were only kidding,

so I played along.

You shouldn't take it seriously.

What made you think I was kidding?

Marriage is an important decision.

I can't force you.

But it's the only way to push the case forward.

I am in a dilemma,

it's hard to take care of love and justice.

Anyhow, you don't need to worry.

I am after the real murderer behind this case,

I don't mean to disrespect you.

After all...

What?

After all,

you...

you are not my type.

You!

What a coincidence,

you are not my type either.

You!

Ms Ju, goodbye then.

Remember our wedding date.

A leopard can't change its spots.

He can be calculative in business,

but not in a relationship!

What kind of girl does Young Master Yue like?

Having fun following me?

I was worried you might not be safe walking alone,

but looks like you don't need me to worry about you.

I finally understand you.

You may act cruel,

but you care about people.

You just refuse to acknowledge it.

An unsung hero.

That's who you are.

It's nice to hear this from you,

thank you for your compliment.

By the way,

you said the killer will come to the wedding,

are you sure about this?

Do you think I'll play the fool with people's life?

All right, I'll do it.

I'll play along with you.

You promise?

But we must put on a good act,

I'll make the wedding a grand event.

You don't tell anyone else,

so as not to reveal our secret.

Ju Wine House

-My daughter. -Father.

Come and help me.

-Help me. -Father.

Didn't you go grocery shopping this morning?

How come you bought cloth, cosmetics and snacks?

Why did you buy these?

I didn't buy these,

they were given by the neighbours.

They said these are gifts.

Gifts?

You are going to be a rich man's wife.

You shouldn't do any household chores.

Mu'er,

Young Master Yue seems like a capable man.

You are marrying the right guy.

Did you know?

To celebrate your marriage,

the Longs issued a wedding notice.

The notice states,

from the day of your wedding,

all shops on this street,

will get rental discount for three months.

When I went out just now,

everyone was saying how proud they are of us.

Rental discount?

Young Master Yue is a stingy person,

are you sure you didn't hear wrongly?

Ungrateful daughter,

how could you talk bad about your husband?

Seriously.

Ungrateful daughter?

Father, how can you be bought over by these paltry gifts?

Besides, the wedding is actually...

What is it?

It's actually not a big deal.

Father,

I think you're blinded by greed.

What did you say?

Ask your conscience,

do you think I am such a person?

I'll have you know,

if you weren't so smitten with Young Master Yue,

I wouldn't have agreed to the wedding.

Even if the Emperor himself wanted to marry you,

I might not even agree.

Father.

All right, that's enough.

You are blushing.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Master, is this all right?

You are reducing rent for three months,

this is not your usual practice.

My usual practice?

What's my usual practice?

Nothing.

I guess you're wondering...

why a shrewd businessman like myself...

would spend a fortune on a wedding?

Let me give you a lesson today.

You must invest heftily,

in order to catch a big fish.

I'll deduct from your salary for this lesson.

Don't want it? Fine.

Go distribute the wedding invitations.

It's a hefty investment,

aren't you afraid you'll lose everything?

I shall get going now.

Madam.

If we meet before the wedding,

it'll bring bad luck.

When I heard about the wedding notices,

I thought you've come to your senses,

and wanted to give your ill-gotten money back to the villagers.

Looks like I worry too much.

You'll forever remain as an unscrupulous merchant.

Looks like you understand your husband very well.

Don't try to be cheeky.

Tell me,

why put up the wedding notice?

Rental discounts in celebration of our wedding?

You must be planning something.

That's where you're wrong.

I'm spending the money...

to publicise our wedding...

to make our charade more convincing.

Only then, will the culprit show himself.

Unless,

you think that our wedding...

is for real?

You!

You are a scrooge, I don't want to debate with you.

Our marriage is fake.

Kindly restore my reputation after this.

That will depend on your performance.

After all, you haven't given me all the sheet music.

It's been bothering me for some time.

Scoundrel.

Remember our wedding date.

Shu Residence

Long Yue is getting married, do you plan to attend?

Their argument in the prison the other day...

was only an act.

I'd like to see what other tricks they have up their sleeves.

I heard the culprit behind the World's Best Inn case...

got arrested because of Ju Mu'er.

That's how Long Yue was proven innocent.

She's not to be trifled with.

You are right.

Looks like their wedding is not as simple as it seems.

You don't plan to attend?

I won't be fooled by their childish tricks.

But we must respect the Long family.

Prepare an expensive gift,

and send it over on the wedding day.

Yes.

No way.

Long Yue wouldn't get married so suddenly.

Something's amiss.

Ju Mu'er,

she must have done something bad,

she must have tricked Long Yue.

Don't worry, Young Lady Shan.

Maybe he just came out from prison,

and he needs the wedding to counteract the bad luck.

It shouldn't be her.

Young Lady Xiang.

Sister,

tell me,

why did Long Yue make such a decision?

Is he having any problems?

Look at you.

Always so high-strung.

How can I not be?

I don't want to attend his wedding with another woman.

You may leave.

-Yes. -Yes.

Why don't you go?

You must go,

and you must go with dignity.

You must not lose your dignity because of this issue.

Otherwise, when people see you,

they will laugh at you.

At this point,

you must not lose your cool.

When you are at Long Yue's wedding banquet, smile...

and congratulate him.

Wedding invitation

Mr Yun.

Xiang'er.

How come you are here?

I noticed you've been busy with work lately,

so I asked the cook to prepare ginseng soup for you...

to keep you nourished.

No work is too tiring when you're looking after me.

Try the soup.

Why did you sigh?

Is everything all right at home?

Pity my sister.

Long Yue is getting married,

but he is marrying another girl.

Everyone knows about my sister's feelings for Long Yue,

how is she going to face everyone in the future?

Long Residence had sent us the wedding invitation.

I am afraid she may cause trouble if she goes alone.

Why did you sigh?

I feel bad for Young Lady Shan too.

I have a favour to ask from you.

Can you accompany my sister to the wedding?

I feel better with you looking after her.

In case she suddenly gets angry,

and causes a scene.

I have official duty to attend to,

I am afraid I can't attend the wedding.

You're still not over Ms Ju?

Of course not.

You worry too much.

You never joked like this.

I was joking.

I know.

There's nothing between you and Ms Ju.

But if you don't attend,

people will talk behind your back.

It will be a disgrace to the Long family,

and Father will become suspicious, too.

Gossip is a fearful thing.

You are right.

I should've thought about that.

Double happiness

-Congratulations. -This way please.

Long Residence

Congratulations.

-Thank you. -Congratulations.

-Congratulations. -Thank you. This way.

This way, please come in.

Thank you.

-Congratulations. -Thank you.

Thank you.

Congratulations Mr Ju and Lord Long.

Thank you for coming.

You are a lucky man, Mr Ju.

Many people wish to marry into the Long family.

But you actually did it.

You are going to enjoy great wealth and prosperity.

I never cared about these things.

As long as my daughter is happy,

nothing else matters.

Having Ms Ju in our family...

is a great honour to our ancestors...

and Long Yue's good fortune.

Mr Ju,

don't worry.

We will take good care of Ms Ju.

She won't suffer any hardship.

Everybody, please take your seats.

Please sit down...

and make yourselves at home.

-Thank you. -It's a happy occasion.

Thank you, Lord Yun.

Congratulations.

Thank you.

Here comes the party poopers.

Congratulations.

Thank you, please come in.

I didn't expect to see you, Young Lady Shan.

Where is Long Yue?

He went out to welcome the bride.

Thank you for coming, Lord Yun.

You've looked out for me in the past.

It's Mu'er's wedding, I must come.

Please come in.

This way, Lord Yun.

Congratulations on the wedding and to Young Master Yue.

Thank you.

This way please.

Lord Long.

Welcome, Lord Hai.

You are too kind, Lord Long.

I'm sorry about what happened at World's Best Inn.

I didn't expect...

Mr Zhu to be murdered because of his affair.

I have wronged Long Yue,

I am here to apologise to him.

You were old friends with Mr Zhu.

It's only natural that you're anxious to catch the murderer.

Besides, if he hadn't been thrown into that prison,

my brother wouldn't have married Ms Ju so soon.

In a way,

you brought the two of them together.

This is a good thing.

Lord Long is right.

By the way,

I have something to tell you.

World's Best Inn may resume operation in a few days' time.

The Bureau's making the arrangements.

I have issued an order...

to remove all the guards.

Thank you Lord Long.

Thank you.

I'll attend to the other guests.

Make yourself comfortable.

That's about it.

Long Fei, is it time?

Long Yue,

you have said this dozens of times.

There's plenty of time.

We had it all planned out.

I should marry Feng Wu first.

It's not your turn yet.

Don't rush me.

Look...

I am your elder brother.

So I should get married first.

In that case, you should wait until Long Teng gets married.

Long Fei, Mu'er and I are only putting on an act.

Others don't know about it,

but you do.

Look at you,

changing your tone so quickly.

One moment she's Ms Ju, the next she's Mu'er.

You really want to marry her.

Going to town on this wedding...

as if you're afraid nobody would know.

You don't understand.

I want the wedding to be grand,

so that I'd receive a lot of gifts,

and recover all my recent losses.

Long Teng oversees the investigation.

As for me,

I make the money.

Sister Mu'er is beautiful.

Why don't...

Why don't I just forget about it?

You can't give up now.

If you give up now, you'd be running away from your wedding.

It's a serious matter.

Furthermore, you and Young Master Yue like each other.

Actually, Long Yue and I...

Sister Mu'er, all the guests have arrived.

Long Residence

First bow to the heaven and the earth.

Second bow to the parents.

Husband and wife bow to each other.

The ceremony is complete, send the newly-weds to the bridal chamber.

Great!

Congratulations, Mu'er.

Congratulations, Long Yue.

-Congratulations. -Congratulations, Mu'er.

Good.

Good, good.

Congratulations.

How's the situation?

Did he bite the bait?

Why do you eat so much?

I have been waiting all day,

watching everyone else have a feast.

I can't catch the murderer on an empty stomach.

You are truly a wonder woman.

-What is it? -Follow my order.

Don't move.

I am warning you,

we must put up a good show,

otherwise Hai Gui will see right through us.

Look at you...

and your stick-like figure.

I am on the losing end here.

Normally, I wouldn't look at you even if you pay me.

Keep off me, you jerk.

Scrooge!

Look.

So fast?

He fell for it.

I'll deal with you once I catch him.

We had a deal.

The money gifts...

are mine to keep.

You're an unscrupulous merchant.

The weather is dry,

be careful of fire.

Why are you here, Long Yue?

How else can I catch the murderer?

Trying to escape?

You can't stop me.

Don't move.

Stop!

Don't move.

You are caught red-handed,

what's your excuse?

Looks like the wedding is a cover.

You have planned this.

You murdered Zhu Fu and framed Young Master Yue,

what's your motive?

Nonsense.

Do you have any evidence to prove it?

I was in Zuixian Lounge that night.

Ms Mu Dan can be my witness.

You're a tough nut to crack, aren't you?

Ms Mu Dan already confessed.

You left after midnight.

How do you explain that?

A testimony by a prostitute...

shouldn't be taken seriously.

So what if I had left after midnight?

It doesn't prove I am the murderer.

Long Yue is obviously trying to use me...

to clear his own name.

We'll find out...

at the Bureau.

You!

Peace and Harmony

Hai Gui,

how did you commit the murder?

What's your motive?

Tell us the truth.

I didn't commit the murder,

Long Yue is the murderer.

You're his brother, of course you'd protect him.

Don't you put the blame on me.

How dare you?

Still not fessing up the court of law?

Xiao Liu.

We have evidence and witness.

If you refuse to confess,

we'll do this the hard way.

Ms Mu Dan from Zuixian Lounge has confessed.

You did not stay overnight.

You had ample time after you left...

to return and commit the murder.

Care to explain?

The night you murdered Zhu Fu,

you left the fragrance from Mrs Zhu's shop on purpose,

instigated her to make a report,

misled us to link the case to Mrs Zhu and Zhang Yuan,

so that you could get away.

This is only your assumption.

I've been with Zhu Fu for years,

I could kill him anytime.

I didn't have to wait.

You know well...

why you killed him.

The evidence is in Zhu Fu's room.

I'm giving you a chance to confess now.

But if you continue to be stubborn,

it'll be too late to beg for mercy...

once I expose your crime myself.

Since you know the answer,

why ask me?

Wait a minute.

If the Wujin Imperial Guard had the register,

they would've surrounded the Imperial Preceptor's residence by now.

Why would they take the trouble...

to force a confession out of me?

Hai Gui,

why do you hate Zhu Fu?

Why did you kill him?

Tell us the truth now.

Otherwise...

-Guards. -Yes!

Punish him.

-Yes. -My lord...

My lord, have mercy.

I confess to the crime.
