[Pretty Guardian of the City]

[Episode 24]

As the son of the Master of Cangyue City,

you should be a role model

for the common people,

instead of committing a crime in the streets

Such an accusation

even reaches me.

You're such a disgrace to

your father and I.

It seems like it's been too long

since I've disciplined you.

Your Ladyship.

The other person provoked he first.

Xian'er did it

to defend

the dignity of the Master's Mansion.

How dare a concubine like you

interrupt when

Your Ladyship is speaking?

Guards!

Mother!

Stop!

Mother.

I'm the one who made the mistake.

It has nothing to do with Lady Mo.

Just hit me.

No, Xian'er.

I offended Your Ladyship.

I deserve to be beaten.

Your Ladyship.

I admit my mistake.

I deserve to be beaten.

I admit my mistake.

Mother!

-I deserve to be beaten. -Mother, what are you doing?

Mother, it's not your fault.

Mother.

Mother!

Mother, it's not your fault!

Mo Yulan.

Are you two putting on a show

in front of me?

Don't forget

you're just a concubine.

You have no say

in the Master's Mansion.

Mother.

Lady Mo is my birth mother afterall.

As a mother,

you should understand her.

She's just anxious to protect her child.

She didn't mean to offend you.

Please spare her, okay?

Jiang Chuxian.

Are you deriding me, and insinuating

that I don't know how to be a mother?

I dare not do so.

I just...

Mo Yulan.

Is this your good son?

How dare he disrespect his superior?

Today,

I'm going to teach you a lesson

and let you know

the consequence of poor parenting.

Ansu.

Cut off this lowlife's hair,

so that

she doesn't forget her wrongdoing.

Yes.

Mother.

Please have mercy.

I realize my mistake.

Please have mercy.

I realize my mistake.

Please have mercy.

Mother, please have mercy!

I realize my mistake.

-No! -Mother, please have mercy!

No!

No!

I realize my mistake.

Mother.

A lowly concubine stays a lowly concubine.

Even though you gave birth to a son for the Master,

you are still beneath me.

Mother.

I'm sorry.

If I'm not weak and incompetent,

you wouldn't have been bullied like this.

I'm fine.

It's all my fault.

I came from a family of lowly status.

Yet, I dreamed

to be favored by the Master,

and made Your Ladyship jealous.

As such, you're being despised.

Mother.

Don't say that.

Everything I have

is given by you.

My Xian'er.

My biggest wish

is that you can lead a normal and happy life

free from disease and disaster.

I'll follow all your wishes.

Happy.

What do you think

Joy is doing with Tang Qing?

Who is it?

It's me, Tang Qing.

Give me a moment.

Miss Fengyi.

I'm coming.

I'm getting changed.

Miss Fengyi.

I'm coming.

Coming.

Coming.

Tang Qing.

Tang Qing.

Why are you here?

I'm grounded by my father.

That's why, for the past two days,

I couldn't go look for you...

for you all.

Miss.

Is Yunxi in Xiao's Mansion?

You're looking for Yunxi?

Why are you

looking for Yunxi here?

Why would she be at my house?

Miss Fengyi.

Yunxi is missing.

I can't find her anywhere.

Yunxi is missing?

And

it's likely she's been captured by your father.

Miss Fengyi.

We need your help.

Impossible.

How could my father do such a thing?

Although he is a little greedy,

immoral,

and overbearing,

he is a good person overall.

Absolutely impossible.

Tang Qing.

What are you doing?

Get up quickly.

Is Yunxi this important

to you?

Miss,

I'm only alive

because Yunxi saved me.

Since young, I swore

to protect her forever.

If you are willing to help

find Yunxi,

my life will be yours

from now on.

Get up first.

It's useless to beg me.

My father would never kidnap Yunxi.

He has no reason

to do so.

We'll know if he captured Yunxi

once we try to find out.

But right now, Yunxi's life is at stake.

We can't eliminate

any possibility.

Miss Fengyi.

Master.

The people sent on the search

have found Luo Hexuan.

But they couldn't find the white jade comb.

Is it really as Yunxi said,

that the Young Master has it?

Father!

Father.

Father.

Let me out.

I need to go to the Young Master's Mansion.

How many times have I told you?

Don't spend so much time

with people from the Young Master's Mansion.

My cousin asked someone to inform me

that they don't know

who kidnapped Yunxi.

She just got rescued and returned.

She's covered in injuries.

I'm afraid she does not have much time left.

I have to see her one last time.

Enough.

I told you

you can't leave here.

Go back to your room.

Father.

You can't do this...

Enough, go back to your room.

Father, I'm angry.

[Xiao's Mansion]

Steward.

Please find a doctor

for Yunxi.

She's dying.

I beg...

Get lost!

You have no right to speak.

Bad news.

Someone broke in.

We fell into a trap.

You. Bring some men to stop them.

You must not let them in.

Yes.

You. Take Yunxi

and follow me through the back door.

Okay.

Hurry.

Hurry up.

Qing.

Yunxi.

Don't come over.

I'll kill her if you come closer.

Let her go

and I'll spare your life.

If you dare to hurt her even the slightest,

I'll make you regret

being here.

Young Master.

Why are you so stubborn?

You can exchange this woman

for the greatest power in Cangyue City.

Isn't that good?

Let her go.

Young Master.

I'm afraid I can't.

I'm just following orders.

This woman is coming with me.

Pepper.

Open the door.

You...

Go!

Yunxi.

Pepper!

Yunxi.

Yunxi.

What are you doing?

You can't kill me.

-I'm Commander Xiao's... -You old man!

Commander Xiao's man.

Pepper.

Yunxi.

-Pepper. -Yunxi.

Are you okay?

Yunxi.

Yunxi!

Wake up, Yunxi.

Wake up!

Doctor, how is she?

When will she wake up?

Young Master.

The lady already has incurable poison

in her body.

Now, she's even suffered

such inhumane torture.

Her body is weak beyond salvage.

At most, she has

about a month to live.

You quack!

What nonsense is that?

How could she die?

How could she die?

I'll go find my third brother.

He has excellent medical skills.

He must know a way to save Yunxi.

No need to go.

What the doctor said is true.

Yunxi has the poison of heartburn

before her birth.

All these years,

she has been suppressing the poison with poison.

But now, even poison

can't suppress the poison of heartburn.

She has just been

putting up a brave front.

♫Luckily, my heart remains the same when all the flowers fall♫

♫I've been waiting for you for a thousand years♫

♫Dream that we are on the old road we met♫

Impossible.

♫See you gently play the zither♫

She promised me

to elope with me.

♫Who are you waiting for to make you a pot of tea?♫

We will build a small city,

spend our days together,

and grow old together.

How could she die?

Young Master.

Yunxi didn't want to accept

your feelings.

But she fell deeply in love with you.

When you mistakenly thought

that she fell in love with someone else,

she took the chance to leave you.

This way,

you won't suffer

from your yearning for her.

♫Count the sorrows, who help each other in straits with feeble strength?♫

♫There will be a pure place to expel the karma♫

Yunxi.

Why are you so silly?

♫Unexpectedly, not until the pomp ended♫

♫Can I understand the unforgettable feeling♫

No matter what you do to me,

I will never forget you.

♫The hair has been grey, while the destiny can't be seen through♫

You can't leave me.

♫Luckily, my heart remains the same when all the flowers fall♫

You can't abandon me.

♫I've been waiting for you for a thousand years♫

♫Dream that we are on the old road we met♫

No matter what, I'll find the Fengchi antidote.

♫See you gently play the zither♫

At all cost,

♫Who are you waiting for to make you a pot of tea?♫

I will cure you.

Wait for me.

Jiang Chaoxi.

How dare you kill my men?

For as long as my name is Xiao Huasheng,

I will see that you be killed.

You're awake.

How do you feel?

Does it still hurt?

Silly.

Why didn't you tell me earlier?

You thought you were smart

to leave me.

I'm sorry.

Actually, deep down, I've always known

that I'm not a good match for you.

But I still want to

be with you forever.

I want too much.

Yes.

You want too much.

You even want to

leave me.

But you don't know

that I want more.

I want to be with you

for every moment.

I want to be with you forever,

in life and in death.

No.

I don't want to be with you forever.

I don't want you to be with me in life and in death.

I just want you to live well.

If you're not by my side,

what's the point in living?

Promise me

you will try your best to stay alive.

I will find the Fengchi antidote

and cure you.

Young Master.

I'm not exactly in the position to say this.

But Hexuan is in a coma,

so I'm akin to Yunxi's real brother.

As her brother,

I have to ask you.

How do you treat your relationship with Yunxi?

After all,

you have accepted the royal engagement.

Although she can't live much longer,

I won't allow you

to treat her without respect.

Don't worry.

My wife

can't be anyone else.

It must be Yunxi.

As for the engagement,

I'll find a way to refuse.

That's good.

By the way,

can Fengchi really

save Yunxi?

Of course.

It was developed by the Ghost Doctor

with great efforts.

If it doesn't work,

there will be no other cure

in this world.

However,

even if we find Fengchi,

I'm afraid

you'll have to make a choice.

After all, Yunxi's biggest wish

is to wake her brother up.

Even if she will hate me,

I only have one option.

Hexuan will do the same.

And

I always respect his decision.

Now that you've completely offended

Xiao Huasheng

and killed his trusted subordinate,

I'm afraid

he won't let you off easily.

Even without this conflict,

the feigned cordiality between my uncle and I

won't last long.

We have to end it.

Don't worry.

I won't let him

hurt Yunxi again.

From now on,

I will protect Yunxi.

Young Master,

Lady Mo has passed away.

Greetings, father and mother.

Chuxian,

I'm sorry for your loss.

I didn't expect that

she would take things so hard.

Yesterday, as the Lady of Cangyue City,

I scolded

Xian'er.

Because Lady Mo contradicted me many times,

I punished her.

If I knew

she would do such a silly thing,

I would not have dared to

reprimand her.

Forget it. Everyone has his own fate.

Just arrange her funeral.

As for my mother's burial,

there is no need to bother

father and Your Ladyship.

Before her death,

I was the only one

close to her.

I will arrange

her funeral properly.

Xian'er.

Come back, Xian'er!

Xian'er!

This is ridiculous.

He doesn't

regard me with any respect.

Father. Mother.

After all, Chuxian just lost his birth mother.

He is too grieved

to control his behavior.

It can be excused.

Don't be angry.

I'll go check on him now.

[The Tomb of Mother Mo Yulan]

Mother, I'm sorry.

I have failed to protect you.

Third brother,

I'm sorry for your loss.

It's my fault for not protecting you.

My mother ended up like this

because of that so-called good Lady.

I must defeat Xiao Huasheng.

That damned pest.

We are brothers.

I'll be by your side.

Stay with him.

I didn't know

he'd been through

so much.

All these years,

I should have

cared more about him.

Young Master.

Dr. Xian just

lost his mother.

It's inevitable for him to feel sad.

Without me,

his fate might have been

completely different.

I owe him.

It's time

to give everything back to him.

How dare you break off the engagement?

Do you really treat my order

as a joke?

That's impossible!

I'd rather give up

the position of Young Master.

If you continue to push me,

I would rather die.

How dare you!

I'm unfilial.

Please grant my wish.

Fine.

I'll grant your wish.

Guards!

Drag him out.

Give him a hard beating!

Go on!

Stop!

Stop beating him!

Stop!

Stop!

Do you want to kill

our son?

Ask him.

In order to break off the engagement,

your perfect son is even giving up

his position as the Young Master.

Xi'er.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Apologize to your father.

Hurry up.

I've made up my mind.

I'm at your disposal.

You...

Xi'er.

Fine.

Since you are so determined,

I'll do as you wish.

From now on,

you are no longer

the Young Master of Cangyue City.

You are grounded to reflect,

and not allowed to go out again.

Please think twice, Master.

He is just muddleheaded.

Xi'er.

What's wrong?

Didn't you agree to

the engagement?

Here.

Slowly.

Why are you going back on your word?

Now you've even lost

your place as the Young Master.

Mother,

did you meet Yunxi?

What did you say to her?

All this for her?

I didn't expect you'd disobey your parents

for a woman.

Mother.

No matter what you will do,

I will never leave her

or marry someone else.

So you don't even want to

be the Young Master?

Your uncle is right.

You're really stubborn.

I'm sorry

it didn't work out in the way

you and uncle had planned.

What?

All this time,

you've been trying to make me

a puppet of the Xiao family

to control the whole Cangyue City.

Mother.

Jiang Chaoxi!

You should know

what power means to us.

To you,

power is everything.

But to me,

it is nothing.

Now,

I have found

the most precious thing.

If you dare marry her,

you would not be allowed to call me mother again.

Why are you so foolish?

Master will never

allow you to break off the engagement.

Just accept it first.

Who says I'm foolish?

Although I was beaten,

I receive your concern.

It's worth it.

I'm no longer the Young Master.

I'm just your Jiang Chaoxi now.

You can't abandon me.

But since you broke off the engagement

and can't be the Young Master,

you're no longer valuable for exploit

to Xiao Huasheng.

I'm afraid he'll harm you.

Don't worry about that.

I know how to deal with it.

The most important thing now

is to take care of yourself.

And...

And what?

And marry me

and have children for me.

What's wrong? You don't want to?

No,

I want to.

Yunxi,

you must live on

and live a long life.

We still have many things

to do.

Live on and stay well.

Miss.

Something happened.

Young Master broke off the engagement

and was deposed

as the Young Master.

He dislikes me so much.

he would rather ruin his future

than marry me.

Your visit

today

makes me

very happy.

I should have come earlier.

It was rude of me

to distance you before.

I've been there before.

I've seen so many people.

So I understand

what you're thinking about.

Life

is like the green tea

in this teacup,

with ups

and downs.

You're right.

As the son of the Master,

my brother grew up

with everything he wanted.

As a concubine's son,

I would never get any attention

no matter how much I compromised.

Like the tea leaves that have sinked,

with no way to come up.

Judging from what you said,

you must have your own plan.

Uncle asked me to come more often.

You must have

some expectations of me.

Smart.

You're worthy to be taught.

Unlike Xi'er

who is stubborn

and useless.

As brother expected,

Xiao Huasheng really took the bait.

You really deserve

to be taught carefully.

If so,

just like these tea leaves,

you will come out on top one day.

What you said

is what I want.

It's good for you

to have this ambition to change your fate.

Why don't we get rid of Jiang Chaoxi first?

If we are on the same side in the future,

I will do my best

to help you get what you want.

I will always remember your help.

Okay.

That's what I want to hear.

Sit down.

I know

you like the girl from the Nangong family.

But I also heard that

she is born physically weak.

In the future,

I guess she can't help you

run the mansion.

Look.

Your cousin, Fengyi,

is different.

She is healthy

and intelligent.

And some say

she is born blessed.

I...

Fengyi

is really healthy.

You...

Yes.

Help!

Let go of me!

Help!

Look at her.

A lively girl

with a loud voice.

You two. One is quiet. One is chirpy.

What a perfect match.

I'm sure you two

will have fun together.

Yes.

Fun.

Xian'er.

We are

family.

If you two can be together,

we'll get closer.

Am I right?
