Marry Me

Episode 15

Guards.

-Yes, Sir. -Yes, Sir.

Give him the punishment.

-Yes. -My lord.

You have wise judgment.

I plead guilty.

Actually

I embezzled the money...

and was found out by Mr Zhu.

That night,

when he was very drunk,

I tried to steal the account book.

Yet, he saw me through,

and had this on me.

While we were arguing,

I accidentally killed him.

And Young Master Yue...

happened to come in.

So, I played along...

and shifted the blame on him.

Did you break into the prison...

and tried to kill him alone?

After that incident,

I was worried that he might have seen my face.

Therefore,

I wanted to silence him.

Lock him down first.

Also,

take the testimony...

to Lord Ding...

at the Ministry of Justice right away.

Yes, my lord.

-Take him away. -Yes, Sir.

Young Master,

why did you come here?

Hai Gui has confessed his crime.

There's no need to investigate anymore.

The case is closed.

Hai Gui...

provided an important evidence,

which is the account book.

It...

could be the reason for the murder.

But where is it now?

Isn't it strange that it's gone missing?

You're right.

The case is empty.

But we didn't take it.

Neither did Hai Gui.

Could there be someone else behind this?

Someone has taken the book.

Long Yue,

forget it.

I just heard...

that Yun Qing Xian has found the book.

Hai Gui did steal World's Best Inn's money.

Ministry of Justice has got the evidence.

Yun Qing Xian's ahead of me again.

Long Yue,

don't mind that.

Your name's cleared anyway.

And the case's been closed.

We can finally have a meal together.

Zhaoyu Palace

Don't worry, Your Highness.

Our plan was carried out flawlessly.

The case has attracted many people's attention.

But who would've thought...

that Kun Palace...

got all the benefits?

I've been keeping an eye on Zhu Fu for a long time.

He was close with the ministers recently,

acting like...

he's competing against the Long family for business.

But things he's been doing behind our back...

can't escape our eyes too.

With this list,

we'll just have to wait,

and reap what we sow when the time comes.

And the account book with Yun Qing Xian?

Did you have a plan for it?

That book...

is just a cover-up.

These are overly confident people,

thinking they're very clever.

Yet, clever may overreach itself.

The truth they have been looking for...

is but a disguise we made.

They will never find out...

the true secret to this case.

In that case,

all your supporters...

in the imperial court...

shall listen to the Shu family.

But the Long family...

has unshakable status.

It really takes time...

to weaken Long Teng's power...

among Wujin's Imperial Guards.

Those who won't yield to me...

must be eliminated.

I don't want any potential trouble.

Uncle Yue,

why did Sister Mu'er move out of Long Residence instead...

after marrying you?

Children shouldn't be asking about the adults' affair.

Here you go.

On the way to school,

buy something to eat. Pay attention in class.

Oops, it's time for the morning class.

I'm going to be late.

Uncle Yue, I shall take my leave.

-Li Ke. -Yes?

Let's go to Ju Wine House.

Are you going to bring Second Young Mistress home?

What did you mean?

The Second Young Mistress. Was that wrong?

I...

Ju Mu'er and I got married...

only to make the culprit show himself.

Why did you call her Second Young Mistress?

Then why are we going to Ju Wine House?

To take back the betrothal gift, of course.

I'm not interested in suffering losses.

Young Master Yue.

Young Master Yue.

We just received an imperial edict.

Closed today

Ju Wine House

What a stingy guy Wang is.

He only paid this amount of money...

for the meal his family of three had.

My son-in-law is better.

His betrothal gifts cost way more.

Father, don't touch it.

Leave these gifts alone.

Why?

There, there.

A married daughter's no longer my daughter,

isn't it?

For arguing with me over this.

Don't worry, I won't take what's yours.

Father,

you know I didn't mean that.

But we have to return the gifts,

untouched.

We can't use any of them.

Why?

You're married into the Long family by law.

The betrothal gifts...

are gifts for your engagement.

You can't send them back.

I don't know how to tell you.

But...

it's complicated.

My marriage is not what you think it is.

What is it then?

It's...

Tell me.

What happened?

Did he hurt you?

Or Long family...

didn't treat you well?

Let me know.

I'll do you justice.

Father. Father.

It's not like that.

Actually...

Ju Wine House...

is nothing when compared to...

Long family's businesses,

but I won't let them bully my daughter.

-I'll find them now! -Father.

Put it down. Listen to me.

What are you doing?

Brat,

how dare you come here?

I'll show you some colours.

-Mr Ju. -Father.

What's going on?

You didn't even notice you've hurt my daughter?

I won't let you off!

I'll kick your butt!

Mu'er, say something.

Father, this is a misunderstanding.

Yeah, Father. You've misunderstood.

What did you call me?

What did he call me?

Father.

Father?

So,

you're not here to break off the marriage?

No, of course. You've got the wrong idea.

I came here to bring you...

the fine tribute tea,

and take Mu'er home.

Mr Ju, newly picked tea.

Do you think it smells good?

It's white tea.

Mu'er,

we need to talk.

Li Ke,

brew the tea given by the Emperor for Mr Ju.

Sure.

-Let's go. -Mr Ju, have a seat.

I'll make you tea.

Let go.

Why did you say that to my father?

What are you doing here?

This came out of the blue. I don't have time to explain.

I'm taking you back to Long Residence.

What?

Why would you do that?

We had...

an agreement.

Are you trying to break your promise?

What?

You're staying with your father after we get married?

This won't do.

Our marriage...

may only be an expedient,

but...

but we have to make it look real.

If you do that, people will talk,

and we'll be blown.

You said that...

the culprit could be captured on our wedding day.

Meaning,

the wedding day is the crunch time.

So, after that,

I can do whatever I want.

We need to make an agreement.

What do you want?

Name it.

Whatever I do after we got married,

you can't interfere, that's the first thing.

Second,

I'm not going to be obedient...

like other women.

No matter where I go,

it's not your place to intervene.

Third,

when it comes to making decision,

for things related to me,

you need to let me know,

and not make the decision for me.

These are unfair terms.

If you want to get married as planned,

you'll have to say yes.

I'm not going to move to Long Residence.

So...

please decide it yourself.

Does moving to Long Residence make you suffer?

You said this while visiting me in prison.

Given Long family's status in the capital,

we can sufficiently protect Ju family.

I'll make you...

a promise today.

In the future,

as long as I'm here,

Ju family would never...

have to go through any danger.

Therefore,

you aren't left with the short end of the stick.

Why won't you move to Long Residence?

But this is just a fake marriage.

If...

I moved to Long Residence,

what would I say to others later?

We wouldn't be a fake couple forever, would we?

Your reputation does matter.

But don't worry.

This is a promise.

I'll never take advantage of you.

After that,

I'll clarify things for you.

Words spoken...

Won't be taken back.

I'm not trying to break my words.

But...

His Majesty has issued an edict.

Why would His Majesty be involved in this?

His Majesty is my friend,

and has specially congratulated us with an edict,

wishing us a happy marriage.

His Majesty even sent us gifts.

Is the Emperor stupid?

Mind you tongue and volume.

What about my future?

Who would prove my purity?

Will I be able to get a husband?

I'll think of something.

But...

I'd need you...

to come with me...

and be the Second Young Mistress for now.

What if I don't want to go?

You have to go.

This is a crime of deceit. Your family will be implicated.

Listen,

it's not just the Long family.

Even the Ju family can't escape death.

Well...

Death is nothing,

but your reputation matters.

You've helped me out.

I won't tarnish your name.

I'm ready to lose everything...

to prove your purity.

Are you crazy?

So,

you agreed to come?

Let's go.

Long Residence

Young Master Yue and Second Young Mistress are back!

-Young Master Yue, Second Young Mistress. -Young Master Yue, Second Young Mistress.

What are you doing?

We're welcoming the second young mistress.

Silly joke.

Wait, Mu'er.

You're already here, don't think too much.

Then, stop calling me Second Young Mistress.

You knew the whole story.

Why fool around with them?

Stop standing there.

Help Second Young Mistress get changed now.

-Yes. -Yes, come on.

Second Young Mistress, this way, please.

Be a true man.

Take care of your career as well as family.

Getting married is a joyful event.

Be happy.

Brother,

it's easy for you to say, like it doesn't concern you.

Why didn't you...

tell me about the imperial edict before?

Have you seen His Majesty...

sending wishes to any newly weds?

His Majesty meant good.

I dare not try to stop him.

People are envious of you,

but you're unhappy about that?

I have worn myself out for Long family's sake,

and have worked hard to help Wujin Imperial Guard solve cases.

Yet, you're making fun of me.

I should have...

had the matchmaker...

find you a wife...

who'd make you listen to her.

Then,

I could have saved myself...

from all the embarrassment.

Long Yue, how could you say that?

In my opinion,

you and Ms Ju are a well-matched couple.

By the way,

if you don't have any feelings for her,

why didn't you...

set up the culprit at Long Fei and Feng Wu's wedding?

Why have a fake marriage instead?

-That was because... -And...

You and His Majesty are close.

Even if you told him...

that your marriage is an approach to solving the case,

His Majesty wouldn't get mad at you.

He's right.

Why must I involve her in my investigation?

Could Long Teng be right about this?

I have...

Brother, don't say that.

That's not true.

The bride's here.

Please don't laugh at me.

What, now?

You wouldn't hold your wife?

Go.

It's okay, Young Master Yue.

Don't be bothered, I can take care of myself.

I don't think so, Mu'er.

You're married to him.

We're family now.

Long Yue should take care of you.

Also,

you should change the way you address him.

Move yourself.

I...

Hurry up.

Here. Be careful.

Why did you bring me to the Ancestral Hall?

We...

As newlyweds,

we should burn incense to my parents.

Let them know...

about the good news.

Are you serious?

We're not really married.

Isn't this like...

deceiving your ancestors?

We're not deceiving the ancestors.

We're...

repaying my parents' love.

My parents died young.

Their biggest regret...

was not being able to see us married.

It just so happens that...

I have a wife now.

Don't ruin their mood.

Come and kowtow with me.

No. But...

Don't "buts" me.

We even deceived His Majesty.

Don't worry about this.

Keep this in mind.

From now on,

you're the second young mistress of Long family.

Never doubt that.

What about our deal?

The deal...

is valid.

But...

it must be postponed indefinitely.

I...

Today,

I'm vowing before my parents.

The Long family will ensure the Ju family's safety.

Come on.

Father.

Mother.

I'm here to send my regards...

with Mu'er.

I hope that both of you will bless...

Long and Ju families...

with health and happiness.

Young Master Yue and I...

had no choice but to do this.

We didn't mean to deceive you.

Please...

don't be angry at us.

Why are you so quiet?

I'm greeting your parents in my heart.

They're also your parents now.

Let's kowtow.

Why aren't you moving?

Yun Residence

Be careful.

Don't break my sister's dowries.

You.

Take these...

to my sister's room.

Yes, Ms Ding.

Shan.

-Young Lady Xiang. -Sister.

Don't trouble yourself.

Leave it to the servants.

I had some snacks ready.

Let's talk inside.

I knew you're the nicest. Let's go.

Isn't Brother Qing Xian poor.

Everything in Yun Residence...

came from Ding family.

You're too good...

to marry him.

It's not as comfortable here compared to Ding Residence.

I'd rather live a poor but happy life,

than worry about spending dirty money.

What I like about Qing Xian...

is his integrity.

And His Majesty has just...

granted him the position of Minister of Justice...

and a residence in the capital.

His Majesty thinks highly of him.

How lucky am I to be his wife.

This is all...

because of our father.

Qing Xian gained His Majesty's recognition...

on his own effort.

I don't mind others gossiping.

You're my younger sister.

If you say that again,

I'd be angry.

Fine.

You want to...

marry him anyway.

Whatever I say won't change anything.

There, there.

You and your arrogance.

Will you only learn...

after encountering misfortune?

Never mind.

Brother Qing Xian has been promoted.

I have you on my side.

No one dares to bully me,

or bring me misfortune.

After you go home,

be a good girl.

Okay.

Stop nagging.

Don't cause any more trouble.

You're back, my lord.

Ms Ding's here to see Madam.

She also brought many things along.

Should I inform Madam...

that you're back?

No.

Let them talk.

You may leave.

Yes, my lord.

Mu'er...

Young Master, isn't that Yun Qing Xian?

Young Master Yue, let's skip practice today.

Come again another day.

He doesn't own the pavilion.

Why should we leave?

And we're here to play qin.

How ungrateful you are.

As Mrs Long,

I should keep a distance...

with another man.

Playing qin together...

is unacceptable.

Don't worry, darling.

Since we're here,

let's meet him. Come on.

Lord Yun,

how are you?

I haven't congratulated you and Ms Ju...

on your marriage.

Young Master Yue, congratulations.

Lord Yun, you should be congratulated too.

Not only have you been promoted,

you're now Imperial Preceptor Ding's son-in-law.

Congratulations.

Me and Young...

My husband and I are just passing by.

We didn't mean to disturb you.

We'll leave now.

My wife wanted to play qin.

We didn't know you'd be here too.

If you don't mind,

let's stay here together, alright?

Ms Ju...

Mrs Long discovered this place.

I shouldn't be here.

I won't come here anymore.

Don't worry, Young Master Yue.

My wife's waiting for me at home.

I shall take my leave.

-Li Ke. -Yes, Young Master.

-Set up the qin. -Okay.

Don't leave.

I thought you want to play qin.

Did you get mad...

because of Yun Qing Xian?

No, of course.

Why is it, then?

I'm worried about you.

I'm doing great.

What's there to worry about?

Yun Qing Xian is the new minister.

He had issues with the Long family.

You...

shouldn't have acted so recklessly,

not to mention provoking him.

I wasn't provoking him.

We're here to play qin,

and just happened to run into him.

I said...

to share the pavilion.

But he wanted to leave.

You know what you were doing.

I don't want to argue with you.

Were you...

worried about me?

And why did you care?

Did I?

I don't remember.

Well, since...

you're the Second Young Mistress,

regarding the Fuxi Score...

No.

What tune is that?

It's so unique.

A melody my master composed before he died.

I'm sorry.

Never mind.

It's in the past.

Moreover, the tune...

is indeed special.

So, this...

is the remaining part of the Fuxi Score?

Yes, it is.

But not all of it is.

What do you mean by that?

Compare the two scores.

Are there any differences?

The scores...

are indeed different.

Which of them is the real one?

This score,

we found at Lord Shi's study...

the other day.

As for this one,

my master played it before his execution.

Both scores...

are highly different,

but very similar at the same time.

Why?

I'm puzzled by this too.

Could your master...

remember it wrongly...

as he was distressed?

That's impossible.

My master could memorise a music score at one sight,

let alone when it's about life and death.

There must be a reason for him...

to leave this score behind.

Both scores have the same notes.

But the fingering...

is different.

I've noticed this too.

These symbols...

seem to mean something.

Mean something?

Each symbol and fingering...

represents a time period and direction.

But I haven't figured out...

the meaning behind.

Master's message must be inside.

The secret...

is probably hidden in the edited fingering.

I'll break the characters.

Please record it.

Index finger on the 12th Hui position, pick the fourth and fifth strings.

Xiao Bao.

I'll show you the stunt that made me famous.

The Flying Dragon.

So, did I score a goal?

Xiao Bao.

Xiao Bao.

Did that hurt?

Father, Mother told me that over-competitive persons...

are mostly childish.

That kick...

It hurts a lot.

Xiao Bao,

I've held 90 percent of my strength back.

You're too weak.

Train well to strengthen your body.

Don't worry. I'm here.

I'll make sure you master it.

Is that true?

Yeah.

Xiao Bao, regarding what happened today,

let's keep it from your mother.

If she ever learned that,

she wouldn't let us play Cuju ever again.

It's okay.

Men shouldn't be afraid of pain. Let's go.

Why aren't Long Yue and Mu'er here yet?

Father's trying to sneak food.

A father is the role model of his son.

Don't be a bad influence on Xiao Bao.

Their marriage is fake.

But now they're inseparable?

That's more like a real couple.

Xiao Bao, what happened?

Did you hit something?

But you were fine...

when you got home.

When I was playing with Father...

He's such a naughty kid.

It's normal if he bumped into something.

Is that true?

I fought a lot when I was a kid.

But I still grew up to be strong and healthy.

Feng Wu, a mother...

should know when to let go.

Mother, I'm fine.

It doesn't hurt at all.

I'll apply...

some medicine back in your room, okay?

Young Master Fei.

Young Master Yue and Second Young Mistress aren't coming.

You may have your meal.

Finally, time to eat.

Are they real couple now?

Where are you going?

To take a look.

You go on.

Don't disturb them. They're doing serious business.

Serious business?

How do you know what they're doing?

Between husband and wife,

what other business do they have?

I just don't want you...

to disturb Mu'er and Long Yue.

Really?

Is that it?

Yes, it is.

Have your meal, Young Master Fei.

Father, have some meat.

Okay. Good boy.

The symbols have been broken down.

But why couldn't we find the key message?

Could we have gotten it wrong?

Wasn't he your master?

Aren't you too relaxed?

Things won't improve...

by making blind guesses...

even if you go crazy from that.

Why not get a good rest?

You can live with an empty stomach, but I couldn't.

Don't move.

What are you doing?

Why are you nervous?

No.

We're husband and wife.

Don't be shy.

I'm not shy.

You're exaggerating.

I'm not.

Everyone in the capital...

knows about us.

Watch out, I might expose the truth.

By then, not only you,

but the entire Long family will be ashamed.

The Long family's reputation doesn't matter.

But we...

have been deceiving the Emperor.

If His Majesty looked into this,

Ju family too...

You...

I need to continue studying this.

Hey, music score.

I can't get things out of you.

Forget it.

Mu'er.

Silly girl.

How do I sleep now?

Silly girl.

Silly girl.

Silly girl.

Silly girl.

Silly girl. Silly...

Long Yue.

What are you doing with the pillow in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?

My bed was taken.

I'm going to spend the night in the guest room.

I didn't know...

that you're such a gentleman.

Your thoughtfulness...

must be shown...

only towards Ms Ju.

Says who?

I've always been like this.

A well praised...

gentleman.

Sometimes, I envy you and Long Fei...

for your carefree lives.

But as a minister,

many things make me feel suffocated.

Brother,

are you investigating...

a big case?

It's not about solving cases.

It’s the Empress Dowager's birthday next month.

Kings from around the country are coming for the celebration.

The capital must be absolutely safe.

In the coming two weeks,

everyone in the imperial court will be busy.

Great.

You might as well...

move back to Criminal Investigation Bureau.

It's more convenient for you.

As for your room,

I'll use it on your behalf.

Little brat.

You're even taking advantage of me?

It's decided.

Have a good night.

I'm going to sleep.

Why is it so hard to play the qin?

It's been a few days,

but I can't even play an entire song.

Calm down, Your Highness.

It must be the musicians at Master Musician's Residence.

They didn't teach you well.

Consort Li

But the Empress Dowager's birthday is around the corner.

If I can't play the song well,

what should I present to Her Majesty?

It's me.

Lord Long.

Stop looking. It's just me.

I've been waiting for you here.

You shouldn't be acting wilfully in the palace.

Fortunately, no one saw you.

Or you'd be doomed.

Here you go.

Why did you give me that?

My aunt gave me the candied fruit.

But...

I don't like sweet things.

So, it's yours.

You don't like it?

I thought it'd be a good regift.

But since you don't like it,

never mind.

How could I refuse...

your kindness?

Thank you, Heroine Shu.

Enjoy your fruit.
