"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 23]

[Fang's Clothing Shop]

Cheng Tian!

Alright.

Who's there? Coming, coming, coming.

It's still so early. Who's here?

- Who's there? - Uncle!

- Uncle! - Ni Chang! Cheng Tian!

Ming Yue, Yuan Xiang, look who's back!

- Auntie! - You've finally returned!

Auntie! Auntie, I've missed you and uncle so much.

Yuan Xiang!

Why have you gained weight again?

I haven't!

Are you alright?

I'm fine, I'm fine! My hand is all healed.

I'm back!

It's so good you're back!

We're so happy!

We're back!

[Fang's Clothing Shop]

I'm so full that I'm about to throw up.

- The food back home is still the best. - I bet you didn't get to eat anything delicious while being away.

- Now, all will be well! Auntie and uncle will prepare delicious food for you everyday! - Great!

- Alright! - However, you left with His Highness.

Thanks to them, what good food out there didn't you enjoy?

Only after returning home, one could say one has overcome hardships, couldn't one?

- Look at what you're saying! - Uncle, you're wrong about this!

While we were away, we missed your home made pickled radish.

- Right, Cheng Tian? - Yes. We kept thinking about them!

Kept thinking about them, what?

Why didn't you keep thinking about us, but the radish?

Right, Yuan Xiang?

Now that they've come back, our hardships will end soon.

Isn't that so, Ni Chang?

By the way, coming back this time, I want to make a few changes to our shop.

- I don't know if you will approve of it. - Changes?

What kinds of changes?

While we were away in Xi State, not only have we purchased some exotic fabrics,

but we have also learnt how to make rouge and face powder.

So I would like to sell lip tints and face pigments

along with making clothes.

What you mean is that we could sell them together?

Uncle, these pigments aren't regular pigments.

Ni Chang learned a lot about pharmacology in Xi State!

They have both youth and health preserving properties.

They're one of a kind in our entire Imperial City.

They'll inevitability be hot products if we manage to include them in our shop.

Aunt, uncle, our good days are coming.

For real, Ni Chang?

Ni Chang, no matter what you want to do, uncle and I will support you.

- You're going to do big things, we believe in you. - Correct!

Listen to your auntie! Whatever you want to do, just do it!

Thank you, Auntie and Uncle!

The five of us can make an all-out effort again!

However, won't those people from the Guild stop us from reopening up the shop?

They only banned Fang's Clothing Shop from making clothes.

Our new store will sell brand new things.

Moreover, we'll have a new name.

- They can't control when we open. - A new name?

What new name is it?

Fragrant Herb Hall!

Such thrilling danger! Then what happened?

After that, I went to Xi State to pay homage to a master to take me in as an apprentice.

I learned how to make and prepare powder.

My Masters, Jiang Pingchuan and A' Sun Na,

were very kind people who taught me a lot of things.

Oh right! By the way!

I sewed this sachet during the time I was in Xi State.

The vanilla inside has calming effects and also helps one conserve vital powers.

- You should put it under your pillow. - Alright.

Smell it!

How nice! This Cheng Tian is so heartless.

He didn't even bring me any present.

Actually, Cheng Tian bought some nice thing, but he wouldn't even let me see it.

He said something like he wanted to give it to the girl in his heart.

Who do you think that girl in his heart could be?

Cheng Tian, there are no outsiders here, you can tell me the truth.

Yuan Xiang likes you so much, what are you planning to do?

- I, actually... - Why are you hesitating? What can't you discuss with me?

Uncle! Uncle!

- Miss Xiao Qin, you're here. - Uncle.

- Cheng Tian. - Miss Xiao Qin.

His Highness sent me here to bring you a few things for the new shop.

He especially wanted you to have this wooden display.

- His Highness also sent some people who could set it up. - Great! So good of His Highness!

We're sorry to trouble you, making you come all the way here personally.

This was all His Highness' order and I just follow his instructions.

Then I won't bother you any longer. Please get back to your work

- Alright, Miss Xiao Qin. Thank you so much! - Take care, Miss Xiao Qin!

Come, come, come! Easy, easy!

Watch out for the steps! Come inside. Straight in.

Easy, easy, easy!

Quick, quick, quick! You run fast. Hurry and deliver this to Miss Xiao Qin.

It's a thank you gift from your auntie, a bracelet. Hurry up and go.

- Go now! - Miss Xiao Qin!

Just place it like this. Don't block off the clothes!

Miss Xiao Qin!

- Cheng Tian? - This is a gift that my aunt selected carefully for you.

- Please accept it. - I can't accept it.

- If he bullies me again today, I won't let him have this. - Just take it, please!

- I really can't. - It's just a small gesture from us.

- I really can't accept this. - Just accept it!

Cheng Tian, this is part of my duty.

His Highness will censure me if he finds out. Thank you!

Goodbye.

Please send our regards to His Highness!

Take care, Miss Xiao Qin!

Actually, Cheng Tian bought some nice thing, but he wouldn't even let me see it.

He said something like he wanted to give it to a girl in his heart.

Who do you think that girl in his heart could be?

It turns out, he really doesn't like me.

- I say, Brothers, isn't this Fang's Clothing Shop? - Yes. What's going on?

How is it?

- Ni Chang, you are back again. - Ni Chang, listen.

Yeah, she's back again.

The fleeing to escape punishment for the private silver isn't over yet.

- She unexpectedly came back again— - Say—

I say, she's really shameless.

If it were me, I would be too ashamed to come back. - Exactly!

I would never show my face here.

- Cheng Tian! - How shameless!

What are they selling now?

- Isn't it just a scam again? - Look, look!

- It's really possible. - Even so colorful.

Exactly.

Heavens!

Great!

What are they doing over there?

[Fragrant Herb Hall] Great!

Dear everyone, our new shop is opening today.

Welcome, everyone! Thank you for your patronage.

Welcome! Welcome!

I've never heard of this name, Fragrant Herb Hall?

Our Fragrant Herb Hall is the exclusive merchant for rouge, face powders,

ready-made clothes and also rare items from Xi State.

Our rouge and facial powders are different from others

because our formulas are from the beautiful and mysterious Xi State.

Not only does it makes you look beautiful, it can maintain your beauty, too.

Everyone, you can come in and try them.

Please come in and try them!

Everyone can compare and see for yourselves the difference between Fragrant Herb Hall and the other shops.

- Everyone, come in and take a look now! - Come in and take a look!

- Please come in. - Please come in!

Sir, Madam, please come in and take a look.

We've never used these before, so who would dare to?

What are these things?

Never heard of them.

Their reputation is already ruined.

That's right.

They're not coming in, what should we do?

Isn't all because of the Su family brought the Silk Trade Guild's members several times here to create a scene,

and spread those ugly and nasty rumors?

No wonder no one believe us.

It's not the time to talk about this now.

I'm just stating facts. Take a look!

We opened our new shop today, but no one dares to come in.

Let me do it!

Dear everyone, our shop is opening today.

It doesn't matter if you don't buy anything, just come in and browse first, and you'll see if it's good.

Come, come, come!

Come in, come in, come in!

That's right! In our store, we have the rarest and finest rouge and powders in all the central plains.

Come in and try them! It won't cost anything.

That's right, that's right! They're complimentary.

Young Madam, your shop was investigated by the Silk Trade Guild.

Who knows if there are any problems now?

That's right! Who knows?

- Let me tell you— - You even claim the formula is from the Xi State?

- Who knows if they have this in Xi State? Show us your formula! - Right, right, right!

This big brother, how could you...

We can't trust what they said, can we?

Uncle.

Our formula is the foundation of our store.

Forgive us, we can't reveal this.

However, everyone, don't worry!

Every product in our shop has been personally tried by me.

They're definitely safe.

If you say it's safe, then it's safe? Who can guarantee that?

If we ruin our looks when we use your products, what will we do?

Older sister, do you dare make a bet with me?

Bet on what?

If I use our products on you,

and if it can't make you younger by ten years and ten times prettier,

I'll pay you ten silvers. What do you think?

Ten silvers?

This... Ten silvers? This...

It's ten silvers. That's a lot!

Would the products in your shop

really make me ten times prettier and younger by ten years?

Are you willing to give it a try?

Yes. Of course, I'm willing!

Who would want to give up ten silvers? Isn't that so?

- Right, everyone? - It's ten silvers.

- What is this? - What are these things?

Older sister, don't move!

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

What is it like? How is it?

How great!

[Fragrant Herb Hall]

How's the transformation?

Who is it?

Please!

She's coming out! She's coming out!

Is that the same person just now?

She's completely changed! Who is she?

How could she become so pretty?

It isn't the same person, is it?

What's the matter? Do I look younger and prettier?

- It's not the same person, is it? - It's quite a different person. Quite beautiful!

- Lady Boss, looking glass, looking glass! - Cheng Tian!

Give me the looking glass. Hurry up!

- I didn't expect this! - Me, either!

- What's wrong? - Sister, what's wrong with you?

- What's wrong? - Quickly pinch her! What's the matter?

- She's conscious now. She' awake now. - Looking glass! Looking glass! Where is my looking glass?

Looking glass!

- Why is she crying? - Nothing, nothing, nothing.

Sister, Sister, don't cry! Don't, don't, don't!

If you don't like it, then we can wash it off.

- Right, right, right! - You'd dare?

I've lived so long,

suddenly, I found myself beautiful for the first time.

How could you wash it off for me?

Thank you, Miss Ni Chang!

I didn't expect you really have such skills.

I failed to recognize a great person, so I'm sorry for offending you just now.

- Please forgive me! - It's alright.

You're even more magical than a fairy. Thank you!

Are the products in Fragrant Herb Hall really that magical?

Ni Chang, you're just performing some tricks to fool us, aren't you?

You were in Xi State for so long.

Did you learn some witchcraft there?

It's definitely witchcraft! Such an ugly person went in.

How could it be that a beautiful woman came out?

They definitely switched people!

- I think it's surely witchcraft! - Who are you calling ugly?

What do you say?

What witchcraft are you talking about?

All of you, just one by one, are spouting nonsense!

- So beautiful! - Stop talking nonsense!

What witchcraft?

The rouge and powder can modify skin color anyway.

What's so strange about it?

Exactly! It's nothing but some good makeup skills.

Don't be tricked!

This sister is right.

Rouge and powder can indeed modify the skin color.

However, the rouge and powder in our shop is different from others.

It comprises of a variety of formulas using the herbs that are unique from Xi State.

Its effect is immediate and it can also moisturize the skin.

- Does it? - Really?

However, if your skin isn't good,

such as having spots, rashes or peeling,

then rouge and powder can't help you.

Then you should nurse your skin from the inside.

If you nurse your skin from both sides, the you can address both symptoms and root causes.

Why are you guys so wordy? Just look at me!

Such an ugly person and now? I've become so pretty.

You keep making irresponsible remarks, I'm going to go buy some!

What did you use to powder me just now? I want 5 bottles of each kind.

- Please come inside. Please! - Five bottles!

I'm going too!

Please come inside!

Come, come, come! Please come inside.

- Auntie. - Come inside, please.

[Beautiful Rouge Boutique]

- Miss, please! - Let's have a look in this shop.

[Beautiful Rouge Boutique]

Miss, you're really the Su's lucky star.

You've vitalized the shops in the South within only a few days.

Our stock for the last few days were all sold out.

- These are what we purchased last night. - Steward Xiao, you've overpraised me.

I just want to do my best for the Su's.

It's just that the sales during these days has been much less.

I wonder what the reason is.

This Su shop is a century-old shop and now, they also sell rouge and powder.

It's such a pity that they are all outdated, not very good.

Yes. You can see all the things in this room everywhere else.

- It's unlike those in the Fragrant Herb Hall. - That's a given.

The products in the Fragrant Herb Hall are all exquisite and magical.

Madams,

not to mention that I have never heard about a Fragrant Herb Hall that you were talking about,

but you recklessly belittle the Su's products in the Su's shop as if there were no one else present.

Don't you think it's a bit too rude?

You products aren't good and you don't even allow people to criticize them.

Moreover, yours are really not as good as those of the Fragrant Herb Hall.

- Can't I even talk about it? - That's right, who treats customers like this?

Be polite, do you understand it?

We are polite to our Su's customers,

not to you who find quarrel in a straw.

With those attitudes of you two, forgive us for being rude.

Please leave!

The Imperial City has a shop like the Fragrant Herb Hall, who cares about a trashy shop like yours?

Let's go!

Madams, what place is the Fragrant Herb Hall

that it deserves so much of your praise?

You even don't know Fragrant Herb Hall? How are you able to run a rouge and powder shop?

Let me tell you! It's a shop that was opened by Miss Ni Chang of the Fang's.

- She's back. - Yes. I heard Miss Ni Chang went to Xi State.

She learned many medical skincare skills and has opened the Fang's shop again.

They make ready-to-wear clothes and produce rouge and face powder.

Their business is booming profusely.

Moreover, Miss Ni Chang is very easy to talk to unlike your people.

Someone is just too arrogant, it's so annoying!

- Come on, let's go! - This...

Madams, it's just a small matter.

Sorry for interrupting you! Please continue with your selections.

What did you say?

I heard it with my own ears.

This Ni Chang, she really is lucky.

Not only was she able to return from Xi State,

but she also adapted the Fang's Clothing Shop into the Fragrant Herb Hall.

And also started getting into the rouge and face powder business.

Absolutely impossible! I've already...

Could it be that I was tricked?

Second Uncle, what should we do now?

Wenxiu, you go to the Fragrant Herb Hall personally.

Seeing is believing.

Maybe some people are spreading the rumor on purpose.

Also, don't let Wenyu know about this for the time being.

I understand.

Where is Wenyu now?

Since that day he had a big fight with you,

he seemed to suddenly wake up to reality and has also stopped drinking every day.

He even went to make an inspection tour of the shops in the North.

Maybe he's still angry that you asked me to take care of the shops in the South,

but he's finally willing to start doing something.

It's good that this kid is trying to make a good show of it now.

Wenxiu, right now you're the only person I can trust.

You must take on this responsibility well.

Please don't worry, Second Uncle.

I'll never let you down.

Second Master, Eldest Young Master suddenly woke up.

He also knows your secret.

After some time...

I'm worried if Young Master will let it out accidentally.

I'm afraid...

I don't think he has the guts.

Everything that I'm doing now is for the Su Family.

Damage me and he'll damage us all.

This kid was involved in a murder case himself.

If it weren't for me taking great pain to cover it up for him,

would he still be able to run around like this?

You're right, Second Master.

It's a pity that Eldest Young Master is still young.

He doesn't understand your intentions.

The young Miss is very sensible though.

However, she currently still isn't a Su family member after all.

Second Master, if you delegate your powers to her like this,

if the Yan Family starts to have other thoughts,

how could that be a good thing?

There's nothing to worry about.

She's just a girl.

All she has is a little bit of talent.

She uses the Su's people to do business for the Su Family.

What can she achieve without the Su Family?

I don't think she can play any tricks on me.

Second Master, you're right.

[Fragrant Herb Hall]

This is Pearl Cream.

- Miss, are you looking for a sachet? - Yes.

These are all quite popular.

This is for clearing damp and it's really good for health.

Yes. It's clearing damp and good for health.

If you don't like this one, why don't...

This.

- It works really well. - Uncle!

Help me explain these products to this lady.

- Alright, alright, alright! - I...

Help sleep. Sachet. Explain!

I heard Miss Ni Chang can also come to your house to do your make up for you.

- Is it true? - Yes!

If your family has a marriage event, you can invite Miss Ni Chang to come to your house to do make up for the bride.

Once Miss Ni Chang does the makeup, the bride becomes so beautiful immediately.

- Really? So dramatic? - That's right! It makes me jealous.

How I wish I could get married one more time!

Listen to what you're saying!

We've really offered the lowest price already.

Don't you worry!

- You didn't take what you bought, did you? - Oh right.

I will go to get it for you.

Is it this one?

- Sorry! - Thank you.

- Take care! - Take care!

Come back next time. [Fragrant Herb Hall]

How's it going?

I...

Shopkeeper Ni!

It indeed is you! You really did come back.

Did you think I shouldn't have come back

or did you think I wouldn't be able to come back?

You indeed shouldn't have come back here.

The Imperial City isn't a place you should be, to begin with.

However, I can see that the business of the Fragrant Herb Hall is good.

I should congratulate you.

By the way, how is your hand?

Thanks to you, Young Miss Yan,

I almost lost my hand.

It's a pity that God has mercy on me so he gave me another chance to keep on living.

If this makes the Eldest Young Miss Yan unhappy,

I'll apologize first.

Don't forget that you originally fled to escape the punishment.

You're only an orphan girl.

Only by relying on Prince Luo, could you escape the punishment.

Now, you've come back in a big way.

Aren't you embarrassed?

I quite admire your courage.

I was framed by others.

As for the reason, I think Eldest Miss Yan should know better than me.

Now, you come to denounce me, it's like a thief crying "Stop thief."

What a good family education of the Yan Family! I should admire you.

Okay. Let the contest continue.

Let's see what other talents you have this time.

I'm always waiting for you, Eldest Miss Yan.

Second Master!

- Second Master. - How did it go?

That female assassin is gone!

I went to her residence and found that she had moved away already.

I think she... she must have run away after she had cheated us.

B*stard!

I should have learned the lesson from Shen Lan.

I was too crude and rash.

- Second Uncle, that Ni Chang— - No need to say more.

Then what should we do now?

Ni Chang has Prince Luo's support now, I'm afraid she won't let us off.

About getting attacked in Xi State,

she may not know it was me and also has no evidence.

She can't abruptly accuse us of it.

However, I tried to sound it out a bit today.

It seems she has figured it out already.

- What? - However, she still doesn't have any evidence.

Just now, didn't Steward Xiao said

that female assassin has escaped?

Second Uncle, please put down what happened in the past.

Let's still think about a solution for the future.

Then what's your opinion of this?

I don't believe there would be such a coincidence like this.

I just opened a few makeup shops in the South of the City.

Then she came back to steal away my business

by also opening a makeup shop.

It's an obvious challenge to the Su Family.

However, she has Prince Luo to back her up, I'm afraid it's difficult to get rid of her now.

Su's is a century-old brand.

Are we afraid of this little non-local girl?

What you said is correct.

However, if you take any other actions in the future, make sure to let me know first.

You can never act recklessly like before,

leaving yourself open to charges from others.

I understand, Second Uncle.

I'll keep it in mind.

[Fragrant Herb Hall]

May I ask if you still have any rouge to sell?

Your Highness!

What Your Highness want to buy, even if we don't have it,

- we shall think of a way to get it for you. - Be serious!

Your Highness, it's so late now, why do you come?

Why are you asking something so strange? His Highness can come whenever he wants.

It doesn't matter when.

This... I was just starting a conversation.

Move, move, move! Don't linger in the way here.

Shall we clear the site for them, too?

You can do it by yourself, I'm going back to my room.

You... you... Wait! Wait for me!

I have something to give to you!

They're really...

They really understand how to behave.

Did you miss me?

I've been super busy, how could I find time to miss you?

- Really didn't? - Not really.

Forget about it then! I'll leave now.

Presumptuous! How dare you ignore me?

Your Highness, are you angry?

What do you think?

Enough now! I was only kidding.

Ziyu?

Steamed Bun!

By the way, I came because I had something to discuss with you.

I also have something to tell you as well.

You go first.

You say first.

Lately, I've been investigating

the matter where the Su Family hired people to kill you and Cheng Tian.

However, after so long,

I still couldn't figure out Su Gongming's purpose this time.

Could it be that he may already know your real identity?

If that's the case, they could just report to the officials to have me arrested.

Since that would be the most efficient way to get rid of me.

However, they hired someone to murder me.

Have I really blocked their way to make money?

Although I couldn't figure out their intentions,

I found out that the Su Family frequently contacts the Head of the Bureau of Affairs, Yuan Daocheng.

Su Gongming is indeed the middleman helping Yuan Daocheng collect bribes.

Then the Eldest Young Master of the Su Family, Su Wenyu...

Although Su Wenyu is willful, his nature isn't bad.

I don't think he's involved.

You trust him that much?

Actually, he found out about my real identity very early on.

If he had wanted to hurt me,

then Su Gongming would have already had me sent to the magistracy's office.

Actually, I also have another hypothesis to tell you.

What is it?

That year, when this happened to my family,

it was because of the ingredients of the Mirage Color Silk pearl powder.

However, why did they find a box of unopened superior pearl powder randomly in my house?

I'm afraid we can only find the clues in the Bureau of Affairs.

You mean...

there are people in the Bureau of Affairs who framed the Xie Family?

At that time, the Bureau of Affairs found, in my house,

a box of superior pearl powder and then the case was hastily settled.

Obviously, someone placed the evidence to frame my family.

If we could get into the Imperial Market, then that would be good.

It happened so suddenly at that time, there must be some clues to be found.

However, based on the current status and reputation of the Fragrant Herb Hall,

I'm afraid it would be difficult to get into the Imperial Market.

Besides, the quotas of cosmetics shops in the Imperial Market are all occupied.

Is there any other way?

Don't be anxious just yet! There are many good and bad shops mixed into the Imperial Market.

This has greatly affected the quality of procurement for the Imperial City.

So, I'm planning to report this to His Majesty

to get rid of some of low-quality shops.

Thus, the Imperial Market will have some vacancies.

That would be great!

However, you should think it over.

The shops of the Imperial Market are all very influential socially.

If the Fragrant Herb Hall fails to show restraint,

it'll easily become the target of public criticism.

Moreover, the Su Family is very deep-rooted

in the Imperial Market, it'll be even easier for them to deal with you.

I'm not afraid of them! As long as I can find out the truth,

clear the grievances of my Xie Family,

and let my late parents and older brother rest in peace,

I can do anything, no matter what it is.

Alright, then let's give it a try.

I'll always be with you.

[Bureau of Affairs]

(TN: the letter describes the chaotic situation of the Imperial Market. It then orders Prince Luo to investigate it.)

Alright, Prince Luo, good for you!

He submitted a written report to His Majesty saying that the qualities of shops in the Imperial Market are a mess.

He suggests getting rid of the ones which make a profit in the muddied situation.

He's taking a drastic measure to deal with a simple situation.

It's so ruthless!

Please calm down, My Lord.

An idle prince comes to supervise the Bureau of Affairs.

It was already just a joke from His Majesty.

It's just that this reckless person

took it seriously. (TN: lit. holding chicken feathers as an arrowhead. A Chinese idiom meaning to assume unwarranted authority on the basis of some pretext.)

It really is so annoying.

My Lord, we can't let him mess things up.

After all, the shops in the Imperial Market

were all selected one by one by you, My Lord.

If they all got dismissed this time,

they'll definite make so much noise, even the Heaven's would hear them.

He can give official orders.

But it's still my Bureau of Affairs that executes it!

I'm the head of the Bureau of Affairs!

As long as I'm here for even one day,

the Bureau of Affairs still has the surname Yuan.

Then My Lord, what are you planning to do now?

Those general family shops with the worst quality,

just persuade them to quit.

After this issue quiets down, if they want to come back,

- we'll give the matter further thought. - My Lord, what other instructions do you have?

The matter is settled.

Go and reply to Prince Luo.

Just say that according to his orders,

I've already cleaned out the shops.

You really are taking this God of Plague seriously, My Lord.

We don't need to show him respect, do we?

He's still a prince either way.

I want to see

what exactly does he want to do.

Your Highness, Lord Gao is here.

Greetings, Your Highness, Prince Luo.

According to Your Highness Prince Luo's orders,

Lord Yuan has already cleared out the unqualified shops.

This is the list of names, please check it, Your Highness.

Your Highness.

This is His Majesty's decision,

not mine.

I'm just supervising it for him.

Why did you get rid of only seven?

Your Highness, Prince Luo, you may not know.

These shops in the Imperial Market are all old shops in the Imperial City.

They're very senior and with solid foundations.

Apart from setting up stalls in the Imperial Market regularly,

they also have their own market outside.

We can't move them.

Only these seven, they sneaked in with others' names.

They don't have their own business outside.

Of course, this was due to the careless examination by our Bureau of Affairs.

So they were able to exploit the advantage.

My Lord has also blamed himself for this.

So he ordered them to quit the market immediately.

However, according to my regular checks,

there are many more than these seven unqualified shops.

Among them, they mix up all different qualities of goods, and sell genuine and fake things.

They purchase inferior goods and sell them at high prices.

It seems that your Lord hasn't investigated them thoroughly.

Lord Yuan is busy with work.

I don't think his ability is equal to his ambition.

How about this, when it comes to clearing out these shops,

I shall personally oversee it.

Then when the time comes,

I'll investigate all the shops one by one thoroughly

and comprise them into a list.

I'll send that list to Lord Yuan for him to check himself.

Your Highness, Prince Luo, this...

It's getting late.

I won't disturb your rest.

I'll take my leave.

Your Highness.

They want to trick us with that name list?

That Lord Yuan is too arrogant!

This Yuan Daocheng has been an official for years.

He knows His Majesty's temperament very well.

As long as he sends some exquisite presents to the Imperial City each year,

His Majesty won't object to him all that much.

Who he wants to go up against, is just me.

But Your Highness, that Yuan Daocheng

is evil and unscrupulous all the time.

If he wasn't capable, he wouldn't have been able to do this.

- In my opinion, we should just forget about it. - No.

This fake Buddha, I must remove.

Your Highness, where are you going?

To the Imperial Market to check those accounts.

Good for you, Ouyang Ziyu!

You took people to check the accounts of my Bureau of Affairs.

This is obviously going up against me.

My Lord, we have to think of a solution quickly.

If we let him investigate it one by one,

there are over a hundred shops in the Imperial Market.

If we were only able to keep half, then that would be a good thing.

In addition, there are shops selling fake things among them.

Some fake things have even gotten into the Palace already.

If this matter gets investigated—

He's investigating according to the Emperor's order, what can I do?

I...

My Lord, Boss Su requests a meeting.

I'm not seeing him.

A'mo!

My Lord.

Su Gongming must be here for the issue about the clearing out of the shops.

It's also good for us to hear about the news from the outside.

My two Lords, what time is it already?

It's a complete mess outside.

How is this any good?

Boss Su, why are you flustered?

Even if the sky falls down outside,

it still won't hurt the Su's.

Not to mention, your Su's are a century-old brand in the Imperial City.

It's not like you don't have experience so what are you afraid of?

But no matter if I have qualifications or not,

His Highness is checking them one by one now.

Everything we sold to the Palace is...

I'm afraid some things will get checked.

Nonsense!

Boss Su,

what things did you sell to us that you'd be so afraid it would be checked?

Did you sell seconds at best quality prices?

I... Our Su family is a century-old brand.

Why would I destroy my own brand by selling seconds at best quality prices?

- Do I want to die? - Shut up then!

Even if it becomes a total mess, it still won't impact the Su family.

Exactly!

Boss Su, you're experienced in doing business, aren't you?

If you put the important accounts openly on the table,

then what Lord Yuan taught you, would all have been in vain.

Of course, that's a given.

There naturally won't be any problem with the open accounts.

However, this time, they're doing it in so highly a noticeable way.

I'm just a bit timid.

Why exactly did you come here today?

My Lord, during this time of investigation,

there must be many shops that will have to quit the Market.

Our Su family just opened some new beauty shops and would like to enter the Market.

I would like to beg My two Lords to make things convenient for me.

- Lord Yuan! - Boss Su,

why would you bother Lord Yuan with such a small thing?

''Even if the Fireworks Finally Scatter'' Singer: Wang Rui - Lyrics: Tang Tian - Melody: Wei Guobin

♫ Dark clouds covered the moon and flowers turned into snow ♫

♫ Departures never end in life ♫

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

♫ To see you again ♫

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

♫ So that my whole life will be passionate ♫

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

♫ To be able to stay by your side ♫

♫ My only wish is to live my life with my love ♫

♫ Even if the fireworks scatter in the end ♫

♫ I'll never regret the long suffering ♫

♫ How much more courage must I have, to walk toward you? ♫

♫ My only wish is to live my life up to your fate ♫

♫ And never let down the little light you left me ♫

♫ Just like the misty rain and haze in Jiangnan ♫

♫ Will you accompany me to embroider the brocade? ♫

Will you accompany me till the sky turns blue again?
