"The Moon Will Remember" Singer: Guo Jing - Lyrics: Tang Tian - Melody: Wei Guobin

♫ I want to ask the distant moon if that is you ♫

♫ Wearing rainbow colored clothes, dancing under the falling flowers, and accompanying me through the years ♫

♫ Is that you? But the moon won't speak ♫

♫ The shadows in pairs makes a line of a love poem ♫

♫ Protect my little light so it doesn't drift during the whirlwind ♫

♫ There is light in the dark and a wide umbrella in the rain ♫

♫ When the rims of my eyes become red, you hold out your hands to me ♫

♫ My tears then blossom in your palms ♫

♫ Protecting my slight stubbornness and accompanying me in watching the moon ♫

♫ It will remember how we looked shoulder to shoulder ♫

♫ Even with the onslaught of time and hardships caught on the corners of our eyes ♫

♫ It would still be the sweetness you'd given me ♫

[Ni Chang]

[Episode 20]

Miss Ni Chang, then we'll say goodbye here.

I'll prepare a thank you gift to visit you in the future.

Return and find a place to settle down then.

When you get bored, you can visit me often.

If you bring a thank you gift, I won't accept it though.

Then I'll be leaving now.

I wish you both a happy and beautiful life.

- Madam, this way, please. - I'll trouble you.

Please!

I didn't expect you would handle this matter so well.

I really don't know how to thank you.

Save your words of thanks then.

Once you've saved more in the future, you can thank me then.

You've already helped me so much.

If it wasn't for you, I fear that I wouldn't be alive today.

What foolish things are you saying?

It's all because you've never given up hope.

That's why you are who you are today.

It's just a pity that the Fang's Clothing Shop

has been forced into a corner.

Timing and subtitles brought to you by 💕Ni Chang Fans💕 @ Viki.com

I heard from the shop assistants that you haven't been going to the shops lately.

It wasn't easy at all to take back the authority from Second Uncle.

How did you fall apart so quickly?

Start going to the shops again starting tomorrow.

Don't make Second Uncle angry and unhappy!

Don't let the shop assistants worry about you, either.

Give it to me!

I told you to give it to me!

You'd disrespect me like this?

You're so shameless.

I'm a dignified lady of the Yan Family,

who insisted on staying at the Su's residence and refused to leave;

whereas, the eldest young master of Su family disdains me.

I'll scream if you dare to leave.

Let's embarrass ourselves together!

Su Wenyu, I won't blame you for not seeing the painstaking efforts I've made for you,

because you've been bewitched by that vixen, Ni Chang.

However, I'll never let you continue falling apart like this

and destroy yourself.

Fine!

If I do well starting today onward,

will you let Ni Chang go?

I want to let her go,

but this is the problem for the Silk Trade Guild.

I don't have any control over it.

If you hadn't instigated them, this matter wouldn't have gotten to this state.

Su Wenyu, listen carefully!

Everything I've done, was all for you and the Su family.

Don't forget! Ni Chang fell into this plight,

because you harmed her.

You still have the dignity to plead for mercy for her?

But don't you worry! For you, for the Su family,

I'll keep this secret forever.

Who decided my fate would be this bitter and that I'd insist on liking you?

Lady of the Yan Family, there's no need to belittle yourself.

You're just the same as my Second Uncle, that's all!

You want the Su and Yan families to join forces together.

You only want the post of the young mistress of this family, that's all!

You regard yourself as a business transaction and look at marriage as a child's game.

Miss Yan, what a great tactic!

So, this is how you think of me?

In your eyes, am I someone who only cares about benefits and have no feelings of my own?

Feelings? Miss Yan, if you really did have any feelings,

- you wouldn't have been so ruthless to your ex-classmate! - I—

Shut up! You don't need to say anymore.

Miss Yan, please take back your love for me.

I, Su Wenyu, dare not to accept it.

You!

Su family is making a big fuss over you, it's not just for self interests.

Why are they so ruthless towards you?

This is what I also find puzzling.

Doesn't one do business based on one's own abilities?

The Su family is a hundred year old shop,

so they don't need to keep finding trouble with me.

Perhaps, it might be because Yan Wenxiu and I have a feud.

It's her who instigated the Su family to target me.

I think this matter isn't that simple.

What?

Let's not talk about this now.

There aren't any places in the Imperial City to purchase cloth anymore.

Are you planning on giving up?

I already promised the customers not to give up,

not until the mountains and rivers are exhausted.

What do you plan to do then?

- I plan... to go to Xi State. - To go to Xi State?

Yes. I'm going there to do some purchases

and also appreciate the local customs.

It's killing two birds with one stone.

I heard Governor Zhao say that Xi State's business is flourishing.

I've wanted to see it for some time now.

Xi State is indeed worth a visit.

However, for you, a woman, to go there alone.

I'm going with Cheng Tian and shall just be careful along the journey.

- But— - No need to worry.

The people in Xi State are simple and honest so nothing bad will happen.

However, there's famine everywhere and the roads aren't safe.

Why don't we do this?

Wait for a few days!

Once I've completed my current tasks, I'll escort you there personally.

However, if I wait, won't I fall into this plight again?

Then you must be extra careful on the journey.

Notify me before you leave, I'll see you off.

No need, Your Highness!

It's just as good to wait for me to return safely.

[Fang's Clothing Shop]

What are you looking at?

Ni Chang, I heard the Silk Trade Guild cuts off your source of supply for cloth.

Do you still have a place to purchase fabrics from?

That's all thanks to your uncle's order and care,

otherwise, I wouldn't be like this today.

Now that I have nothing to do, he should be very happy.

I had told you earlier but you refused to listen.

What now?

If you're advising me to submit to that villain; of course, I won't do it.

Ni Chang, if you contend with my Second Uncle, nothing good will come of it.

The tougher you are, the more malicious tactics they'll use.

In order to topple you, he'll do whatever it takes.

You really don't know how sinister this is.

The dirty tactics that your Second Uncle did towards me,

- were you really unaware of it? - I really had no idea.

However, I'm advising you. Don't go against them again!

- I'm doing this for your own good. - Then thank you for your kind intentions.

Ni Chang, you are a weak woman after all.

Is it that hard to accept fate?

- What did you say? - I wanted to tell you this earlier.

Since ancient times, a woman without talents is a virtue,

but you're always so restless.

How many rights and wrongs have come from this?

Why hasn't this series of blows made you come to your senses yet?

You should know clearly what your duties as a weak woman are!

Your best way out now is to leave the Fang's Clothing Shop and marry into my family.

Be the young mistress of the house and free from worries!

- Ni Chang, marry me! - Let go of me!

I'll treat you well for life and be someone you can rely on forever!

I'm begging you! Stop fighting with them!

Before, I thought you were different from everyone else,

but I didn't expect you to be exactly the same.

Unenterprising and underestimating women.

From now on, we are no longer friends,

because I look down on you.

What did you say?

- Look down on me? - That's right!

I look down on you.

I consider you unworthy.

Please stop harassing me!

Ni Chang...

how could you look down on me?

Ni Chang!

[Fang's Clothing Shop]

Cheng Tian,

Xi State is colder than the Imperial City, isn't it?

Perhaps, but I'm not afraid of the cold.

Just bring along that heavy cloak for Ni Chang.

I've already packed them for you and her.

All right then.

When you leave,

it'll take at least two weeks, won't it?

If things go smoothly, around ten days should be enough.

After all, the delivery dates are less than a month.

We need to rush back to finish the orders.

The road to Xi State hasn't been safe.

You both must take good care of yourselves on the journey.

Don't stick out unnecessarily! Understand?

Why are you such a nag?

I'm not a kid, either.

Besides, we'll only be gone for about ten days. It's not like we're not coming back.

Here! Ni Chang's water bottle.

We'll definitely be fine.

Don't worry!

If you really can't stop worrying,

why don't you come with us?

What will happen to Auntie and Uncle if I go?

They'll bully them.

Ni Chang said... that someone should be at home.

We swore to protect Fang's Clothing Shop.

What you say, makes sense.

However, if you remain here,

I worry, too.

Yuan Xiang,

you must take good care of yourself,

and take care of Uncle and Auntie, too.

If the people from the Silk Trade Guild gives you any problems,

don't resist them.

As long as it's not to close down the shop,

speak gently when you should.

Be deferential if you need to.

Wait until we're back, then everything will be fine.

Remember this, okay.

Stop crying or you'll look like an ugly kitten.

Look at the situation now and you're still joking.

Your Highness, the protection fee goes into the private account at the Bureau of Affairs.

Moreover, that account only goes through Gao Xuan and no one else can touch it.

Your Highness, in my opinion,

don't get involved with this.

No matter what, we're just in supervisory roles.

If we offend the Bureau of Affairs, we'll bring out a bunch of people. It won't benefit us one bit.

The royal family sent me to take care of things.

It's a great disrespect if I don't report this when I'm aware of it.

Many royal family members are living a fine life and outside the reach of law.

- Your Highness, you insist— - Shut up!

You... Alright, alright, alright.

Your Highness, even if you don't want to hear it, I still have to say it.

You don't have any real power and support in the palace.

You don't gang up for selfish reasons, either, so why bother offending these villains and make yourself unhappy?

Also, that Yuan Daocheng is disgustingly greedy.

It's common knowledge in the Imperial City, who doesn't know about it?

Everyone just closes one eye to it.

But Your Highness, only you insist on making it more serious.

The Royal family also sees you as a righteous person.

That's why they send you to do things to offend these people.

Your Highness.

Your Highness, look! You just came back

and you're being sent to do inventory of the lousy tribute inks again.

That's right! This ink is unreasonable

and can't go through being jostled or be exposed to moisture and light.

Now that you mention it, it's so strange!

Why are they giving you so many rotten errands to take care of recently?

It's because I got in the way of some people,

so they want me to pay for it.

Your Highness, are you referring to...

the Bureau of Affairs?

Forget it!

Let's go to the south first.

There will come a day when I settle the score with him about the private account.

By the way, what's the date today?

Sixteenth of the month.

Take this!

Your Highness, where are you going?

This dead Cheng Tian... [Fang's Clothing Shop]

It's so high.

That darn Cheng Tian! He left without finishing his work.

Miss Yuan Xiang.

Your Highness, why are you so late?

- Ni Chang's already left. - She's left?

What? Went to Xi State?

I was shocked, too.

This wench really is stubborn and insists on having her way.

If we let her purchase the cloth

and gain a foothold in the Imperial City,

there'll be endless troubles in the future.

Don't bother with this for now! You can leave.

Second Uncle, rest early then.

I'll be going.

If I let this girl live,

she'll clutch tightly to the matter regarding Shen Lan and won't let go.

Disaster will prevail!

Before Ni Chang left, she instructed that if you came,

this was to be handed to you.

Xiao Lu, stop the carriage.

Stop the carriage. Stop. Stop.

Your Highness, what's wrong?

- Turn around! - Your Highness, aren't we going to the south?

Re-route us to Xi State!

Route us to Xi State? What are we going there for?

- Are you rejecting what's near at hand and seeking what's far away? - Cut the nonsense!

Turn around now.

Turn around quickly!

Are you sure this is the right way?

We're not going to walk around and around, and walk ourselves back to the Imperial City, are we?

Isn't that what you're hoping for?

You don't want to go with me to Xi State. You want to go home, right?

How can you falsely accuse me like that?

When did I say I didn't want to go to Xi State with you?

All you have to do is open your mouth, I won't even say a word if we have to go through fire and water.

If we didn't have to have Yuan Xiang stay at home,

we would've brought her along.

This girl, cried so miserably.

She loves to cry. Just ignore her!

She can't bear to see you leave.

Why are you pretending to not know?

Where are we?

Take this!

If we walk straight, in an hour, we'll be in Huaiyuan town.

Let's stay there later.

Where did you get this map from?

- The prince gave it to me. - I say, this prince,

although he's usually an eyesore,

but he's still very thoughtful and meticulous.

He's much better than that brainless Su Wenyu.

I didn't say anything wrong.

Should we have a stroll near the lake?

Are you here for an outing?

This is too tiring.

How much further is it?

Hang in there! The town is just up ahead.

Ni Chang, be careful!

Cheng Tian!

Who are you?

Ni Chang, run, now!

Quick, run!

Be careful!

Be careful!

Cheng Tian!

- Ni Chang! - Quickly leave!

I'll fight you to the death!

Cheng Tian.

Sorry!

Did you succeed?

Yes.

That woman and her companion

have been killed by me in the woods.

Excellent!

If anyone ask about this, do you know what to say?

Boss Su, what did you say? I don't understand!

I don't know anything.

What were you talking about, just now?

Who was killed in the woods?

Wenyu, you misheard! There's nothing like that.

This is...

Second Uncle, you sent someone to kill Ni Chang?

Don't leave!

Explain yourself!

You!

You killed Ni Chang. You're a murderer!

Shut up!

I did this all for you!

If you hadn't killed Shen Lan, things wouldn't have turned out this way.

If I don't cover up your crime, can I still be here now?

As for Ni Chang, she was seeking her own death!

She insisted on pursuing the conspiracy and refused to give up. Tell me what I should do!

Do you want her to unravel the truth and implicate the entire Su family?

However, Second Uncle, you can't kill Ni Chang, either!

If I don't kill her, the one to die will be you!

What I'm doing, is all for you.

Instead of being grateful to me, you're even yelling and quarreling with me.

You b@stard!

No.

Ni Chang won't die.

You're wrong about it. You're wrong about it!

- Wenxiu! You... - I already know.

Ni Chang, even death won't atone for your crimes.

Who tied me up?

Hurry up to untie the rope for me.

Young Master, you're awake.

Hurry and untie the rope for me!

Second Uncle has told me that until you calm down, you're not allowed to go anywhere.

Low-life! How can you tie me up?

Untie the rope for me! Do you hear me?

Young Master, calm down! Second Master had no choice, either, as he's afraid you will go out and cause trouble.

If you keep making noise like this, you'll alert people in the manor.

Then they'll watch you even more closely.

The loss outweighs the gain, doesn't it?

Okay. I won't run away nor yelling.

Untie the rope for me!

I dare not to.

- Let me drink some water then. - Yes.

Young Master.

Higher.

Even higher.

What's wrong with you?

I'm sorry, Young Master! I will wipe it off for you.

[Fang's Clothing Shop]

Open the door! Open the door! Open the door!

Get something to fight him with!

Uncle! Uncle!

I'm Su Wenyu! Su Wenyu! Su Wenyu!

Su, what are you doing here?

Auntie, Uncle, Yuan Xiang, why is it just you three? Where's Ni Chang?

- You came to see Ni Chang? - Hurry up to tell me where Ni Chang is.

Is she in the backyard?

- Ni Chang! - You even dare try to go inside? I'm warning you!

- If you don't want us to kill you, then get lost! - Uncle!

You've ruined us so what are you here for?

Auntie, Uncle, please listen to me.

I need to see Ni Chang today, no matter what.

- Ni Chang! Ni Chang! - Ni Chang isn't here! Stop making trouble here!

- Scram! - She's not here?

- Where has she gone to? - She went to Xi State to purchase goods for the shop with Cheng Tian.

She went to Xi State?

Did she leave for Xi State already?

Went to Xi State?

No...

It's true!

It's so true!

Are you wailing like you are at a funeral now?

Piss off! Do you hear me? Get lost now!

You don't know... Ni Chang...

Ni Chang had something happen to her.

What's wrong with Ni Chang?

Say it! What's wrong with Ni Chang?

Say it! What do you know?

While she was on the way to Xi State,

she was assassinated.

Nonsense!

♫ How long must I gaze at the starlight, how many absurd things must I do? ♫

You're saying nonsense! You're saying nonsense! You're saying nonsense!

What nonsense are you blabbering about?

How do you know?

That's impossible! How do you know?

I didn't believe it at first,

but it's all true.

I heard it from...

It's all true.

No way! With Cheng Tian there, that's impossible.

Cheng Tian should be dead as well.

B@stard! How do you know?

It's your Su Family! Did your family send people to kill them? It was you, wasn't it?

No! I don't know!

I tried to persuade her. I tried to persuade her not to confront the toughness with her stubbornness.

However, she just wouldn't listen to me. She just wouldn't listen to me anyway.

She believes everyone of you but she just doesn't believe me.

She just doesn't believe me!

♫ Just like the misty rain and haze in Jiangnan ♫

Do you think I'd believe you?

With Cheng Tian protecting Ni Chang, how could anything happen?

Cheng Tian is tall and strong, so he'll definitely protect Ni Chang well, won't he?

Nothing will happen, will it?

Don't you think so?

- Yuan Xiang! - Yuan Xiang!

♫ Departures never end in life ♫

♫ I hope to end your tears, make you smile, and be daring without guilt ♫

Physician, how is she?

From the condition of the pulse, it's nothing serious now.

It's been 3 days. Why is she still unconscious?

She's suffered an excessive loss of blood.

If you hadn't put pressure on the wound and stopped the bleeding for her,

I'm afraid there would be nothing for me to do now.

♫ To handle the impermanence, how far must I look into the distance? ♫

Please don't worry, Young Master.

Even thought this girls' wound is quite serious,

after nursing her health, her pulse has been smooth and steady.

I'll go outside and prescribe some medicine for her.

She needs to take it on time.

Physician, how's the injury on her face?

I just checked. The cut is very deep.

However, our little town is so remote.

It doesn't have good medicine to get rid of the scar.

If it delays for too long,

I'm afraid there'll be a scar left on her face.

I think you should find a way to treat the scar as soon as possible.

Understood. Thank you, Physician.

How is she? She hasn't woken up yet?

She hasn't.

Yuan Xiang! Yuan Xiang, you're awake?

She's up. She's up!

- Yuan Xiang. - Yuan Xiang.

- Come on. - Come.

How do you feel?

Uncle. Auntie.

Do you also think Cheng Tian and her really...

Don't listen to that Su's nonsense!

Think about it! Recently all that money that we paid to compensate the customers

and even the ransom to redeem this house, everything was arranged by His Highness, wasn't it?

I think, right now, Ni Chang is surely with His Highness.

With His Highness around, nothing will happen to her.

- That's right. - That makes sense.

But when I heard what Su Wenyu said just now, I panicked.

I couldn't think about anything else.

Right now, all we need to do is keep the Fang's Clothing Shop and this home safe.

- Stay calm and wait for them to come back. - Yes.

Listen to your auntie, okay?

But I'm still worried! Where on earth are they?

When will they come back?

- Your Highness! - You're back.

How is it? What's going on?

Your Highness, rest for a bit.

- You've been working too hard recently. - I'm not tired.

How could you not be tired?

- I can replace you. - Stop talking! Hurry and go decoct the medicinal herbs.

I...

Ni Chang, do you feel better?

Your Highness, why are you here?

Where am I?

This is Huaiyuan Town.

Where's Cheng Tian?

Cheng Tian also suffered some injuries from the sword.

He's fine now and resting in the next room.

I'll ask Xiao Lu to tell him to come over here later.

Ni Chang, watch out!

It really hurts.

It's just a little cut.

It'll be okay in a couple of days.

Give me a mirror!

I'll get it.

Your Highness,

you should leave.

Ni Chang...

Let me be by myself for a bit.

You should leave.

You're still weak, you have to eat.

I don't want to eat.

My current task is to take care of you.

I already said that I didn't want to eat.

- I'm sorry! - Where are you going?

I'm going to Xi State as the Fang's Clothing Shop can't break faith with others.

I've already taken care of the problem.

- You only need to recuperate now. - Not good!

If you don't tell me now, I can't stop worrying.

All right.

Don't kill him but follow him.

Yes!

Ni Chang! Ni Chang!

The truth is still being investigated.

However, right now, we can be somewhat certain that it's the Su Family who sent someone to kill you.

Su Gongming? He sent people to kill me?

Actually, I've always had suspicions about the Su Family.

I've also been investigating them secretly.

However, I didn't expect that they'd give themselves away here.

[Su Manor]

[Su Manor]

Continue to follow her. I'll report back to His Highness.

- Yes. - Yes.

After that person reported about the completion of the task, I was still worried.

So I sent people to inquire for more information secretly.

That Boss Su indeed didn't plan to give up as expected.

He had already thought you wouldn't return.

So he incited the customers to make trouble in the shop.

The customers couldn't find you, and Yuan Xiang and the others also didn't have money to compensate them with.

Therefore, the customers went to the officials to cause trouble.

They sued you for privately taking possession of the money and fleeing to escape punishment.

- Then they— - Don't you worry!

I've already sent people to send money to Yuan Xiang,

for them to double the compensation in paying the customers.

You can leave.

Let me be alone for a bit.

Father, Mother, Older Brother,

what should I do?

Why does God treat me like this?

Why?

[Su Manor]

Second Uncle, although the Fang's Clothing Shop has lost Ni Chang,

their door is locked every day but it seems they don't plan to move away.

Do they still want to stage a comeback?

They can't do anything without that wench Ni Chang.

Just let it be!

Second Uncle, that won't do.

Although this Yuan Xiang can't do anything,

she was also taught by the same Master as Ni Chang and I.

If, after awhile, she starts to imitate Ni Chang,

learns to play those dirty tricks from Ni Chang,

I'm afraid she'll get customers again.

You mean...

Second Uncle, let me handle this.

Who are you making the clothes for?

Don't hide it! I've already seen it.

Come on, show me! Let me see!

You're so filial!

You know to make clothes for your uncle?

This... It's a bit big, isn't it?

How can this fit your uncle?

Auntie.

What are you being shy about?

Your affection towards Cheng Tian,

even the sparrows outside the window already know about it.

The stitches are so nice.

You make it more carefully than the other clothes you've made before.

I'm just not sure if he'll be able to wear it or not.

What are you talking about?

They're certainly alive!

We just need to keep guard over the Fang's door.

Just wait for them to come back, then it'll be all fine.

Drink the soup!

Wenxiu, as the eldest daughter of the Yan Family,

your talent and virtue

should be the good model for your siblings.

However, your behavior nowadays really makes me bitterly disappointed.

Everything you've done in the Imperial City, the family already knows about.

All the aristocratic families all know about your marriage with the Young Master of the Su Family.

The marriage wasn't successful so you made trouble.

What's done is done! You don't need to come back to Huaizhou.

Just wait to be married in the Imperial City.

The Yan Family doesn't have an eldest daughter like you.

You've really made the Yan Family suffer shame.
