=Episode 3=

Stop right there!

(In remembrance)

Are you really going to quit writing?

If I didn't say so

I wouldn't be able to move General He

Sir, someone is here to see you.

She said she's your drinking buddy.

My drinking buddy?

I went to the He Residence
against my will.

But I wanted to take the opportunity

to unravel a question I've had.

How exactly did He Feng die?

He Feng?

Didn't he pass away because you...

Because I jinxed him?

Don't tell me you think so too?

I may be of a lowly status,
but I don't believe it.

That my existence caused a healthy man

to suddenly spit blood and die.

So you mean...

He Feng had been sick all along.

But the Hes kept it secret.

My parents suspect it too.

But we can't prove it.

So that's that.

So you went to the He Residence

because you were looking for evidence?

The current situation
is unfavorable towards me.

But as long as I'm alive

and I'm still breathing,
I won't give up.

They want me to submit?

Over my dead body.

You are determined and unwavering.

I admire that.

What exactly do you need me to do?

I bought these tools
from the coroner of Fengjing Prefecture

at a hefty price.

I've been hanging around the premise
these days

to listen in on how
to perform an autopsy.

I'll show you what I've learned.

Just to be clear.

You don't have to thank me.

A man is as good as his word.

Since I promised to help you,

I will see it through to the end.

We don't have much time.

Let's get on with it.

Catch it...

The cat is loose!

Hurry! It's gone up.

Inform master and madam!

Young Master has regained consciousness.

Okay.

The show has finally started.

What do you mean, sir?

Blockhead.

Stay here.

Sir!

Sir, Miss Yan.

Lord Liang is heading this way.

Qingdai and the maid are here too.

I'll stop Liang Yi.

You and Beixue,
clean this place up. Quick!

Pack it up.

Yes, sir.

Help, Lord Liang!

Save me, Lord Liang! Save me!

Lord Liang! Help!

Save me, Lord Liang!

Lord Liang, I...

Lord Liang, save me.

Thanks for saving me, Lord Liang.

What were you up to this time?

I was deeply troubled just now

and I felt dizzy.

So I came here for some fresh air.

The longer I stood there,
the more light-headed I got.

Then I fell into the pond.

Thank goodness
you showed up just in time.

You really don't hold back, do you?

I'm not sure...

I understood what you meant, sir.

My lord, you should
change your wet clothes.

I will feel bad

- if you catch a cold.
- It's fine.

I heard a ruckus at the mourning hall.

I'm going there to check things out.

My lord,
your malicious aura is too strong.

I don't think you should visit the hall.

Malicious aura?
It's just you and me here.

Save your nonsense.

You pretended to fall into the pond

and pulled me with you.

It was so you could delay me.

Wasn't it?

When the wild cat appeared,

the candles before the altar went out.

Young Madam worried
it would disturb He Feng,

so she ordered the servants
to chase the cat away.

Fortunately, He Feng was blessed.

Coupled with Young Madam's
scripture writing the last few days,

the wild cats scattered

before any mishaps happened.

Mr. He.

Lord Liang.

Madam.

Lord Liang...

Lord Liang, are you alright?

Lord Liang.

Young Madam, why are you all wet?

I felt light-headed just now,

so I went to the pond
for some fresh air.

I slipped and fell.

Lord Liang, who tried to help me,

got dragged into the water too.

Thankfully the water wasn't deep
so Lord Liang wasn't hurt.

Look Madam, Lord Liang is all wet.

Quickly take Lord Liang to get changed.

Lord Liang's well-being
is of utmost importance.

The Hes's daughter-in-law

cannot afford to harm it. Hurry up.

Yes, Madam.

I'll take my leave.

Qiu Yan, don't just stand there.

Go and get changed.

Okay.

(He Residence)

Are you going to be upfront with me,

or do I have to question you?

Where do I begin though?

Last night, you and Qin Xuan

pried open He Feng's coffin, didn't you?

No such thing!

You better think before you speak.

It won't be hard for me to prove it.

I just have to give the order

to open the coffin
and see if the body's been touched.

How would you know?

You mentioned "malicious aura".

You diverted my attention

because of your funny business
at the mourning hall.

I let you have your way

because I wanted
to catch you in the act.

But in a rush,

you left traces of tampering

on He Feng's coffin.

Lord Liang, who tried to help me,

got dragged into the water too.

Thankfully the water wasn't deep
so Lord Liang wasn't hurt.

Look Madam, Lord Liang is all wet.

If you were so sure about what happened,

you could've reported me
there and then.

Why did you want to meet me in private?

This is what I like about you,
getting straight to the point.

I want to know

what you two found
after opening the coffin.

If I tell you,

are you going to help me keep it secret?

Maybe.

But let me remind you
that you have no other choice.

If you don't tell me,

I'll report your opening the coffin

to General He.

He Feng did not die from sickness.

And he wasn't jinxed by me.

(In remembrance)
He was poisoned.

General He and Madam He

knew the truth,

but they still used me to cover it up.

Who is the killer?

We don't know yet.

But I found this in He Feng's hand.

(In remembrance)

I think he's holding something
in his left hand.

On the wedding day,

his left hand was clenched
the whole time.

I'll help you.

I can't unclench it. Quick.

A copper coin?

There's only half of it.

This is a token of love
between a couple.

There should be another half.

The two halves
will make a complete coin.

If that's the case,

it means He Feng had a lover
before marrying me.

He was holding the red silk
on the wedding day,

but in his hand, he had the love token
with another person.

Looks to me

like you're the most
pitiful bride in the world.

No, I'm actually delighted.

He Feng had a secret lover.

That's a clue.

But I know nothing

of He Feng's life.

Where should I even begin
to investigate?

If I were you,

I'd start with his personal maid.

Makes sense.

Finding evidence is key.

Otherwise, whatever suspicion you have

will remain as just that.

And what will finding evidence do?

If you are able to show me evidence,

I'll prove your innocence.

You...

Why are you suddenly helping me?

According to you,

He Feng died of poisoning.

And General He

tried to hide the truth.

Not only did he use you,

but he also tricked me.

He's lying to the Crown Prince
and Emperor.

One more thing.

I've been to Jingyun Convent.

I only found out

what the term "Jingyun Convent" meant

to a woman after I got there.

I admit I was hasty in wanting
to send you to Jingyun Convent

to become a nun.

Also, I shouldn't have changed

the gift you had prepared
for Noble Consort Guo.

Therefore,

I wish to make up for my error.

My presence in the He Residence
is too obvious.

My hands are tied.

Whether or not you can find evidence,

be it eye witness or material evidence,

will depend on your own effort.

You wish to see Feng'er's personal maid?

I never got the chance
to get to know He Feng.

I feel bad about it.

So,

I'd like to know more about his past

by talking to his maid.

Then I'd be able to reminisce

when I go pray at the temple.

I'm afraid that's not possible.

You probably don't know this.

Feng'er's personal maid
is called Yueying.

They grew up together.

Now that Feng'er has passed away,

the girl has to be buried with him.

We appreciate her loyalty all this while

and couldn't bear to say no to her.

She requested to live in the back
of the residence in seclusion

before Feng'er's burial.

It's not right for us to disrupt her.

Miss Yueying is indeed loyal.

Could I...

Young Madam.

You're here to send your regards.

Madam has made the situation clear.

Please don't bring it up again.

Qiu Yan.

Just focus on copying the scriptures
for the time being.

Pray for Feng'er diligently.

As for other matters,

you need not be involved.

Alright.

Let me out! I'm begging you!

Stop wailing.

You really think you're the young lady?

If the Madam hears you,
you'll get another beating.

Miss, I don't think
we'd be able to get inside.

Don't you find it weird?

A loyal maid who is mourning
their master's death

is normally treated well
by the household.

In some cases,

they'd even accept her as a god-daughter
in honor of the master.

But why are the Hes treating her
like a criminal?

Madam, look.

Since greeting you today,

Young Madam has been sneaking around.

Madam has said

no one is to disturb Miss Yueying.

Are you openly disobeying

Master and Madam's order?

Qiu Yan, you are unusually inquisitive

regarding our family matters.

Please don't misunderstand, Madam.

I've been wondering
about He Feng's life.

I was hoping
to take a look at his study.

But I got lost.

Liar.

You could've asked me
where the study is.

You were raising your voice
at my lady just now.

Is it our fault

for being wary of you?

Qingdai, don't be rude to Chunxing.

It's my bad.

I'm just missing He Feng.

I hope you'll give permission

for me to go to his study

and pick out a few personal items
to take with me to Jingyun Convent.

The days ahead are long.

I will think of him
when I see his belongings.

This way, He Feng and I could at least
be husband and wife in memory.

This is Young Master's study.

Come in, Young Madam.

Miss, what is that?

This is a poem by Tang poet, Bai Letian,
titled "Song of Everlasting Regret".

It tells the story of Emperor Ming of Tang
and Noble Consort Yang.

Everlasting Regret?

What is it regretful of?

Young Madam.

My Young Master's literary works
will be made into a book

and kept as a memoir.
You can't take them.

This ruler looks very well made.

I'm guessing He Feng used it often.

This ruler does look...

Master gifted that to Young Master.

You'll have to ask Master first

before you can take it away.

The stamp is made from Huangtian stone.

It's priceless.

Young Master treasured it a lot.

I'm afraid Young Madam cannot take it.

This won't do, that won't do.

I wonder who's the master
and who's the servant?

Chunxing, although you serve Madam,

you seem to know a lot about He Feng.

Both Madam and Young Master
are my masters.

It's natural for the servant

to know their master well.

This inkstone doesn't seem
like it's anything special.

It will come in handy
for my scripture writing.

Or is there some reason

you wish to keep it, Chunxing?

That's enough.

The inkstone is fine.

Enough poking around.

Better to hurry back
and copy the scriptures.

Thank you, Madam.

Chunxing, look after Young Madam.

Yes, Madam.

I will do my best.

Chunxing.

There's no more ink.
Can you bring us more?

You can go.

Madam asked me
to look after Young Madam,

not to serve you.

(Military Journal of Shunzong)

(In remembrance)

Which scripture is Young Madam copying?

It's the Ksitigarbha Sutra, my lord.

(Today, I went to He Feng's study)

(and found his handwritten copy
of the "Song of Everlasting Regret".)

(My assumption was right.)

(He Feng did have a lover.)

Have some tea while you chat,
my lord, Young Madam.

Thank you, Chunxing.

I don't like Liu'an tea.

I hope you don't mind preparing
some Emei White Bud tea for me.

But...

If Chunxing doesn't want to do it,

I can do it.

Lord Liang is our guest.
We mustn't be rude.

I'll do it. Young Madam
has to stay at the mourning hall.

You must not leave.

Please wait, my lord.

(In remembrance)

Who is He Feng's lover?

I'm suspicious
of He Feng's personal maid, Yueying.

According to the Hes,

Yueying wants
to be buried with her master.

But from what I've seen,
it is not Yueying's own choice.

Clearly, Yueying knows something.

She is locked up

and no one can see her.

Now, think.

Who could be He Feng's lover?

And who would have a motive

and chance to poison him?

Are you saying...

The answer to the two questions
may be the same person?

Someone who satisfied both conditions.

The only possible answer is Yueying.

Yes.

Madam He said,

Yueying grew up with He Feng.

The two most likely
developed feelings for each other.

They must have secretly gotten married.

But He Feng was forced to marry me
under his parents' order.

Overcome with bitterness,

Yueying poisoned He Feng
on the wedding day.

The parents know the truth.

So they forced Yueying
to be buried with He Feng.

But in order
to keep the disgrace under wraps,

they said I had jinxed his death.

Lord Liang.

All of this makes perfect sense.

But what you said

is merely your own baseless assumption.

Right.

Looks like I have to meet with Yueying.

If the Hes are purposely
keeping the servant locked up,

it won't be easy for you to see her.

That's true.

I asked about it once,

but was swiftly rejected.

Look like

I'll need to find someone

who can't say no
to my request of meeting Yueying.

Do you mean me?

Rest assured, Lord Liang.

I won't trouble you
over such a trivial matter.

I already have someone in mind.

Are the Hes dealing with a beggar?

The dishes served to the master
are worse than what servants have.

Did you think this is the Qiu Residence?

Your young lady is now
a member of the Hes.

As per the He's household rules,
the daughter-in-law eats these.

Dinner was served
a full four hours late.

All the dishes have gotten cold.

Is this also the way
the Hes treat their master?

Whose master are you?

You caused Young Master's death
the moment you arrived.

As the legal wife, not only
is she not ashamed of her ignoble life,

she even leeched off the master.

How shameless!

You've stepped out of line.

So I did.

What about it?

I'm deliberately
making things hard for you.

If you don't want to cause trouble
for your master,

you better keep it to yourself.

You hit me.

I've been with the Hes
for over 10 years.

Not even Madam lifted a finger at me.

You've been picking on me
numerous times,

but I let it slide.

But you asked to be hit

for bullying my servant.

I...

I'm going to tell Madam.

Stop!

Let her go.

I'd like to find out
what the He household rules

say about the punishment

regarding a young madam
hitting the servant.

Qiu Yan, you think you can shut me up
with the rules?

I might not be able
to openly do anything to you,

but you better watch out in the dark.

If I am supposed to be

a daughter-in-law
staying in He Residence,

do you really think I should be worried
about your threat?

I'm afraid I will no longer stay
at the He Residence

after He Feng's burial.

If you wish to secretly harm me,

you'll have to come to Jingyun Convent.

Qiu Yan.

Just you wait.

We're not done.

(He Residence)

(In remembrance)

I only asked you
to look after one thing.

How could you have lost it?

Miss.

I've searched the house many times.

I didn't find it.

I really don't know where it might be.

I wouldn't be fussing
if the thing was mine.

But the inkstone belonged to He Feng.

Now it's gone.

How do you expect me
to answer to his parents?

If they pursued the matter,

I'd be guilty for disrespecting
my late husband.

You're finally back.

What are you two doing?

We're here to catch you red-handed.

You stole He Feng's inkstone,
didn't you?

You're the one
who lost Young Master's relic.

Now you're finding an excuse

because you couldn't explain it
to Master and Madam.

You said I stole the inkstone?

Search my room then.

I doubt you'd hide
the inkstone in your room.

If I presumed correctly,

you hid the pawn receipt
for the inkstone

under the mat.

Forget it. The receipt can be destroyed.

But you won't be able

to shut the pawnshop owner's mouth.

We'll just bring the shopkeeper here

and we'll know if the inkstone

was pawned at the shop.

I...

I wasn't stealing for money.

I know.

Because I slapped you last night.

So you wanted to vent your frustration

by accusing me as a disrespectful wife.

Last night?

So you deliberately made me mad.

You set me up.

I guess you're not entirely stupid.

Of course.

You could've thrown the inkstone

in some unknown spot
outside the residence.

It will be lost for good.

However...

You like He Feng.

You wouldn't have the heart

to simply throw his relics away.

So,

going to the pawnshop
was your only choice.

Once I become a nun,

you can then redeem the item quietly

and keep it to yourself.

How did you know I liked...

You were being too obvious.

Since you started serving me,

I've noticed an unusual animosity

from you.

When we were at his study,

you seemed to know every detail

about He Feng's items.

You wore your heart on the sleeve.

If I hadn't baited you

with his relic,

it would've been a disservice
to your infatuation.

I don't understand

why Master and Madam
let Young Master marry you.

You're a wicked woman.

I've only ever met He Feng one time.

There was no love between us.

I do not feel bad at all

for not wanting to be buried with him.

What more to say ashamed?

You claim to love him.

But what have you really done for him?

What right do you have to criticize me?

I've never met
a more heartless woman than you.

Now that's something I don't mind.

Listen up.

I'm giving you two choices.

One,

you'll hand this receipt over
to Master and Madam.

Then you'll be kicked out.

Madam has always adored me.

Where did you get the confidence from?

If there weren't outsiders
in the He Residence,

I couldn't say I'd be as confident.

But Marquis Weiyuan is present.

In front of an outsider,

I'm guessing Madam He
wouldn't be at liberty

to excuse a servant
for stealing from their master.

Lest people think the household is lax.

Then...

Then what's the second option?

(Hall of Sanguinity)

Chunxing.

How come
you're delivering the food today?

It's getting warmer.

Madam wanted me
to bring Yueying a new blanket.

We wouldn't want her
to be disheveled for the occasion.

Open the door.

Okay.

Go on. Make the bed for Yueying.

Be quick.

Will do.

Close the door.

Miss Yueying.

Young Madam?

You know me?

I saw you at Young Master's wedding.

Good that you recognize me.

Miss Yueying.

It's not your wish to be buried, right?

No.

It is my wish.

Young Master had always been kind to me.

It's only right
that I follow him in death.

It's unrelated to others.

Your door is locked
and guards patrol the house.

If it's your own wish,

why would the need to guard you?

I wanted to be alone.

Madam put them in place
so I wouldn't be disturbed.

Is this how Madam looks after you?

Young Madam.

I've accepted my fate.

What are you trying to do?

Please don't make me.

You poisoned He Feng, didn't you?

I also know

that He Feng loved you.

Because he was marrying me,

you felt betrayed and so you killed him.

He Feng's parents found out about it

and tormented you.

They forced you
to die along with him, right?

Yueying, I can help you.

Young Madam, stop pushing me.

I deserve to die.

You're not helping me.

You're harming me instead.

I know you must be scared
of being beaten.

So you dare not speak out.

I'll be frank with you.

I'm not helping you

because I'm noble.

Right now, the Hes think
I was the reason He Feng died.

They want me to become a nun
in remembrance of him.

You and I are facing
the same predicament.

The only difference is,

you've accepted it, but I haven't.

If you're willing to tell me the truth,

both of us

might still have a chance.

You got half it right.

The one who poisoned He Feng was me,

but not really me.

(Young Master did have a loved one.)

(Her name is Zhao Rui.)

(Half a year ago, while studying abroad
in the north,)

(he met Zhao Rui and fell in love.)

(The two were inseparable.)

(Zhao Rui's father)

(is an elderly scholar
who helped write letters.)

(He didn't want Zhao Rui
to overstep her status.)

(Meanwhile, Master and Madam)

(would never have allowed Young Master)

(to marry a commoner's daughter.)

(Young Master decided
to marry Zhao Rui in secret.)

(He asked me to prepare
the newlywed home)

(and organized a wedding ceremony.)

(They even signed
a marriage certificate.)

(Happiness)

This means,

He Feng tried to marry me
with an existing marriage.

According to imperial law,

marrying again before a divorce...

This means my marriage
to He Feng does not count.

Where is the marriage certificate now?

I'm sorry.

Zhao Rui said she sent it
to her father, Zhao Mingli.

She wanted to reassure him.

Where is Zhao Rui then?

She's dead.

How did she die?

She was just a temporary infatuation
Young Master had.

When he learned of
the arranged marriage with you,

Young Master returned
to the He Residence

as per Madam's order.

Zhao Rui couldn't accept it.

She found a rope

and hanged herself.

That means,

He Feng did betray her.

Aren't we all used to stories
of wealthy heirs

fooling around with women?

With Zhao Rui's death,

her father would have all the reason

to seek revenge from He Feng.

You said you were the one
who poisoned him, but not really.

Did Zhao Rui's father ask you

to do it?

After Zhao Rui died,

I would occasionally pay respects
at her tomb.

I did so for Young Master's
peace of mind.

One day, while on the way
back from the tomb,

a Taoist priest stopped me.

Miss.

Please halt, miss.

Miss, I'm afraid your young master

will be plagued by bad luck.

-What a hoax.
-Miss.

Let me ask you.

Did your young master
recently lose his spouse?

Nonsense!

My Young Master
will be marrying in three days.

He doesn't have a spouse.

That's odd.

Could I have seen it wrongly?

Seen what?

I saw an aggrieved spirit

following you.

A young lady in red.

I sense malaise.

She's been following you.

Once the sun sets,
she will unleash her fury.

Do you have a way to stop her?

(The priest gave me
a vial of enchanted water.)

He told me to let Young Master drink it

on the morning of the wedding.

He also told me not to tell him

or else it wouldn't work.

I was only thinking
about saving Young Master.

I... I hadn't suspected anything.

Who knew,

after drinking the enchanted water,

he...

The Taoist priest was most likely

a disguise Zhao Rui's father put on.

I heard Young Master mentioned
that Zhao Rui's father

is called Zhao Mingli.

But I've never seen him in person.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have
fallen for his trick.

So Zhao Mingli got away just like that?

He won't be able to escape.

After finding out
about Young Master's poisoning,

Master kept me locked up

while he pursued the old man in secret.

Master has countless skilled soldiers.

He won't get away.

Based on what you said,

you're completely innocent.

But Master He and Madam He

still punished you to death.

And you're fine with that?

I'm just a servant.

What else can I do?

The fact that this happened,

I guess

this is my destiny.

I won't give up on you.

But I have one condition.

What is it?

If Zhao Mingli had killed him,

why didn't the Hes report it?

Going to the authorities

meant that He Feng remarrying before
getting a divorce would be found out.

That would give He Feng
a bad rep even in death.

It would certainly be less honorable
than calling me the jinx.

Besides, General He
is an army commander.

It would be a piece of cake
for him to quietly kill a person.

No need to get the authorities involved.

It would keep their reputation intact
or invite unnecessary trouble too.

Remarrying before getting a divorce.

The imperial court may be strict,

but that isn't exactly
a serious offense.

Even if he got impeached,

so long as his eldest son
remained at the border,

the Hes will not fall.

So the Hes are keeping
a tight hold on you

and have turned against your family

to keep their honor and position.

I still find that too forced

a reason.

So why do you think it is?

I can't be sure.

It's just my intuition.

As for you, what will you do next?

I'll leave the He Residence
and look for Zhao Mingli.

Before the Hes catch him.

Yueying is the only witness.

But Zhao Mingli
has the marriage certificate.

Only by finding Zhao Mingli

will I be able to prove
that I didn't cause He Feng's death.

He Feng's death

will only have a closure
by capturing the killer.

How do you expect
to leave the He Residence?

I'll need your help on that.

It's not impossible for me to help.

Beg me

and I'll help you.

I, Qiu Yan, solemnly ask
for your lordship's help.

I shall never forget

your lordship's great deed.

You sure changed your tone quickly.

As the old saying goes,

one who recognizes
the current trend is a hero.

If I need to ask for help

to accomplish something, then so be it.

What's there to be embarrassed about?

Then why didn't you ask me before?

Previously, I was confident
I could find out the truth alone.

Now, Yueying's safety is on the line.

I was going to ask for your help

at the most critical moment.

(Beloved son, He Feng's memorial tablet)

(In remembrance)

(He Residence)

Miss, we've left the city.

What are we going to do?

Get out of the way.

We are from the He Residence.

Which He Residence?

You people make way.

Our master

is the honorable General He Yongzhong.

Whoever it is,
they should at least be reasonable.

The more senior one gets priority.

We're carrying an 80 year-old.

How old is the one you're carrying?

Who cares how old?

Get out of the way!

You make way.

You make way.

You make way.

You make way.

You make way.

You make way.

Housekeeper.

You people make way.

What's going on?

There's another funeral procession
blocking the road.

Carry on.

Who dares stop us?

Yes, Master.

Everyone, follow me!

Come out.

Hurry.

Hurry. Go.

Yueying, let's go.

You first.

Untie her.

Quick, Yueying.

Quick, run! That way!

Run!

Go, run!

What about you?

- Go that way.
- Go!

Head towards the archway.

Qin Xuan is waiting there.

What about you?

You need not worry. Just go.

Come on, Qingdai.

Let's go, Yueying.

Hurry and go!

Come on. We have to protect General He.

Right. We have to finish the act.

Qin Xuan.

Sir.

Qin Xuan.

Qiu Yan.

Change your clothes first.

Then we'll go to the city
and report this.

Miss Yueying, you change first.

This is for Miss Yueying.

Get on the carriage.

You mean,

Liang Yi arranged
for the other funeral procession too?

Yes.

As a precaution, he set up
the funeral procession

and asked me to wait here.

Liang Yi has always
been very meticulous.

If General He

finds out Yueying and I are missing,

he'll definitely conduct a search.

How will we enter the city?

Liang Yi said

he will find a way to leave He's troop

and rendezvous with us.

He will personally escort us
into the city.

He has the Firewood Office's token.
No one would dare stop him.

I hate it when I owe others a favor.

Especially when
it's impossible to repay.

Don't worry about it.

Think of it as he's escorting me.

So you owe me the favor.

I'm much easier to handle.

Miss.

It's been a while.

Why hasn't Miss Yueying come out yet?

Go and take a look.

Okay.

Miss Yueying.

(Fangsheng Bozhou)

Miss.

She's gone!

Dear Buddha.

I was wrong. I was so wrong.

But I cannot go to the authorities.

If I do, that'd be the end of me.

I'm begging you.

I'm begging you.

You won't live
even if you don't turn yourself in.

Zhao Mingli.

I followed the Hes' funeral procession

and saw that you tried to run away.

I was wrecking my brain
about how to kill you.

Who knew you'd escape again?

Young Master was the one responsible
for your daughter's death.

You've killed him.

So why are you still coming after me?

He deserved to die.

You are his accomplice.

You deserve to die too.

No, I'm not.

I'm innocent!

If Rui'er hadn't sent me
the marriage certificate,

I wouldn't even have known
where she was buried.

Please spare me. Please...

Don't kill me. Please.

You can plead with Rui'er!

No!

Stop!

Who...

What are you...

Take this.

How...

How did you...

You pretended to be my witness

so that you could escape
from the He Residence.

I purposely let you go

because I wanted you
to lead me to Zhao Mingli.

You bunch of traitors of the Hes.

We are not from the Hes.

I'm Qiu Yan, the one
who was supposed to marry He Feng.

You're the second daughter
of the Qiu family?

You almost got me buried with the dead

just so you could avenge your daughter.

Let me kill this wicked servant!

Then I'll willingly go
to the authorities with you.

Your willingness to own up
to your action is admirable.

It's too bad though.

You're too stupid.

If you had killed Yueying,

you would never

have been able to find out
who killed Miss Zhao Rui.

Miss Zhao Rui did not kill herself.
